Chapter 403: Qualified Experimental Progress

It's embarrassing, but we still need to get things clear.

Although it seems like a doctor has tailored a new treatment plan for his professor inspired by Muggle healing techniques, things cannot be taken for granted.

Because this thing is really too illegal.

Yes, it was too illegal - cloning was something that could spark ethical discussions in itself, and Andrew had seen too many arguments discussing this issue.

Not to mention that there is an even more terrifying understanding in the wizarding world – how do you count souls?
He admitted that he had indeed underestimated the changes that Muggle medicine had brought to the wizarding world, but he did not believe that two wizards could solve the problem of embryo specific differentiation without any technical reserves.

He didn't know how to accomplish the latter step, but if the ethical issues of cloning had not been addressed before, creating limbs would be simply a fantasy.

Knowledge under another system can indeed bring about rapid changes, but it definitely does not mean that you can soar into the sky with just one foot on top of the other.

Fortunately, Professor McGonagall was also quite interested in this question. "Mr. Pye, could you tell us more about the magic engraved on bones?"

"It's like this, Professor," Pye said with some excitement. "In fact, compared to us, who view wizards as a whole body brought by the soul, Muggle science has a completely different idea."

The soul as a whole?

Andrew was stunned for a moment, then nodded. He had indeed seen such a statement.

Magical Transfiguration has such a theoretical basis, and human Transfiguration also has similar content. According to the analysis of previous wizards and the case of the five-legged monster, if a person's soul is distorted by Transfiguration, then he will suffer permanent changes like black magic damage.

If Andrew's current Transfiguration could hit the target, the effect would probably be even stronger than this - now the only things that can limit his lethality are his combat experience and research on Transfiguration.

Not only Transfiguration, but even Horcruxes are designed based on this concept. Soul fragments are infused into the Horcrux through the power of black magic, and then the complex magic on the Horcruxes reconstructs a new body in the sense of the maker's soul.

It is precisely because of the existence of Horcruxes that the theory of soul holism has been widely recognized in the magical world.

"But, isn't this Pai practicing biology in reverse?"

Andrew looked at the other person with some confusion, he needed more.

"In fact, Muggles regard bones as a kind of support," Pai explained his point of view very seriously. "I have read the information. They don't have bone spirits, but they can use various artificial bones to implant into the human body to replace the original bones. And those Muggles use them very well."

"It's working fine? This isn't magic at all!"

Professor McGonagall had a strange look on her face.

Andrew was also a little confused - he did know a little about bones, but they were all orthopedic jokes circulated on the Internet (of course, not the German kind). Artificial bones appeared so early?
In fact, artificial joint replacement surgery appeared much earlier than he thought, in the 19th century.

Pai, who had long been interested in Muggle technology, first studied this after receiving a piece of advice that he considered to be very valuable.

"We just engraved it on the bones and cast some magic on them, professor. We even used the original bones. I tested it on animals and found that the bones are many times stronger than before!"

Pai said confidently, "I'm planning to conduct more magical experiments. If possible, I plan to use alchemy to create a more suitable product."

This plan is a little too magical, but - it seems to work.

Artificial joints and the like do exist, the human body is amazing. In fact, one of the most amazing jokes Andrew heard about orthopedics sounded like magic - one of the treatments for bone cancer, inactivated transplants, was dramatically called removing the bones, boiling them, and then putting them back in the same exact shape.

At that time, this joke gave Andrew a huge shock - the saw and axe joke was fine, but the orthopedic department boiling big bones sounded as shocking as selling gourd heads in front of the anorectal hospital.

Mad-Eye can replace his eyes with magic eyes, so there is no reason why his own bones cannot be taken out and turned into magic bones.

It's just that it really challenges your intuition.

Andrew took a deep breath, and then another deep breath.

"But how did you do it? You sorted out magical medical beauty, studied the possibility of bone transplantation, and also studied - the asexual reproduction of that monkey?"

Human energy is limited, and so are wizards. Even if you drink potions and use a time converter, you can only work 29 hours a day at most. Can you really not sleep?
"As for the medical aesthetics, I just made a guess and conducted animal experiments. It's not difficult to replicate. The subsequent magical bone research took up most of my time, and it's just the beginning, Mr. Taylor."

Pai shook her head. "As for cloning, Professor Keltborn took care of the monkey. I only came to check on him occasionally. In fact, we used the drugs from the original experiment to assist in the growth and then cultivated the embryos. The professor was responsible for the subsequent breeding."

Forehead…

So, all those scary words were just empty promises?
Andrew thought about it, and the two of them roughly made a plan. The planned 81 difficulties had not yet reached the Five Finger Mountain...

“But how is that cultivation done?”

"Nurture?"

The old professor smiled proudly, "I used some Muggle potions and some of my own methods, some restricted cultivation methods, but I'm still a professor, so there's no problem."

?

Andrew was stunned for a moment, then remembered a terrible thing.

The blasting-tailed skrewt - the species mentioned by Speed ​​Pass, seemed to be a special species bred separately. He underestimated the magical biology.

In fact, Andrew has accumulated too little experience in this area and has introduced too little speed pass.

If he really knew about the Blast-Ended Skrewt, he wouldn't be surprised - the Blast-Ended Skrewt was something Hagrid bred using a manticore and 60 fire crabs.

That's right, the difficulty of breeding these two animals is even more outrageous than cloning. If Hagrid, as a professor, did not have certain extra-legal rights over the course, he would have to go to jail - the Ministry of Magic has a complete law prohibiting "animal breeding experiments."

As the oldest and most suicidal professor of magical creatures at Hogwarts, the old professor's training methods are definitely more sophisticated.

"Well, it looks like this is just the beginning, Professor."

Andrew couldn't blame him, but he had to remind him, "And there's no danger involved. But, Professor, the monkey can be ignored. If you make a wizard, what about him?"

"It would be fine if he didn't have a soul, but if he did, what would be the relationship between him and the experimental subject? Another person? Or another part of himself? How should he be treated in the wizarding world? A wizard? Or a product of an experiment?"

He stared at the old professor with a stern look - although at this rate they were still far from achieving their goal, he had to take precautions in advance.
