Chapter 261 Playing Big

Lights.

Yes, lights.

At first, it was controlled fire - used for lighting.

Lights are never simple things.

After Andrew briefly talked about using lights to supplement light to ensure plant growth, Professor Adams stopped working.

"Isn't it more than just lighting? Using lights to provide the effect of sunlight?"

"But it's very limited... it requires a lot, a lot of lights."

Andrew said seriously, even the special planting lights that professionally adjusted the wavelength of the light, the consumption of electricity is amazing, not to mention the simple magic incandescent lamps at Hogwarts.

"A lot..."

Professor Adams showed a very heroic smile.

"You know too little about herbology - we just lack means, never lack Galleons..."

This sentence made Andrew stunned.

But soon he saw the real boldness.

Although he had some understanding of herbology, he knew almost nothing about the most precious plants.

That afternoon, the laboratory directly changed its research direction - began to try to modify the lights to adapt to the greenhouse, and in-depth research on the so-called wavelength problem.

Andrew had no hope for this anyway - it was too difficult to try to change this thing without electricity.

But this did not affect the lights in the greenhouse, and the office also received a lot of visiting lists.

"Really, it's a big deal..."

Andrew nodded at the names on the list that should theoretically be full of gold - because Percy was already stunned, of course, this was not the main reason.

"Don't be stunned, Percy, reply well, the professor said that you have to respond one by one and invite warmly... It seems that Professor Sprout and her team have done a big job..."

"Of course, Andrew!"

Percy looked serious, "These are all people in the textbooks, and the Herbology Association even directly invested a large sum of money in the school, an investment that even the board of directors could not refuse!"

Of course it can't be refused - nearly half of the school directors have their own small potion workshops or herb plantations. It's okay to offend others, but if you offend the Herbology Association, you don't want to mix with it, right?

‘It’s estimated that the results will be produced on the first day - magic is particularly effective in checking things like this, I think the effect is not low, otherwise it wouldn’t be so big…’

Andrew thought secretly - mainly because the work of replying letters this time was in Percy’s hands, in order to avoid unnecessary office conflicts, he decided to keep his mouth shut for a while.

Anyway, Andrew only mentioned it, and he probably would keep it secret for protection.

Even if he said it, it didn’t matter - he was lucky, and it wouldn’t have much impact.

However… this idea was gradually dispelled as the number of applicants increased.

‘No, professor, I just mentioned this thing, please don’t sell me out, I just want to learn Transfiguration happily for a while, under the light, it’s not suitable for me at all…’

But things are getting worse and worse.

There are many more talented people in the magic world than Andrew thought - after the key thing of light energy replenishment was unlocked, Professor Adams, who jokingly called the herbology that had the most contact with the Muggle world, began to frantically click on new skills.

The first is the traceless expansion spell greenhouse, which exists in Andrew’s imagination.

Basically, except for the high energy consumption, it was successful after just a period of discussion - the traceless expansion spell cannot increase the sunlight, but the light can, and the land use area has almost expanded.

Of course, due to the blockage of alchemical oil, it can only be used for the production of the most precious herbs, but even so, there is still huge profit.

Secondly, water-based cultivation - this thing has been coveted by herbology for a long time, especially the existence of alchemical potions and magic potions makes this easier than the Muggle world, but there is no way, the sunlight is blocked in the early stage.

This problem has also been solved - the only loophole in the experiment is that someone is too idle to try to hydroponically grow mandrake grass, and then kill the plants in the semi-greenhouse.

Then the third one is low-cost cross-season crops - although the problem of low cost cannot be solved due to the failure of alchemical oil, there is a dawn.

As for the messy small topics and small plans, it is even more endless - those visiting expert groups simply live in Hogwarts, and they don’t even have the desire to leave...

'It’s simply outrageous that such a big change can be made. ’

After pointing out the problem of the iron-carbon phase diagram, Andrew has been guessing where the change will come from - he likes alchemy or transfiguration.

Whether it is Nick, the first alchemist, or Dumbledore, the first transfiguration, it is possible, but Andrew has never thought about herbal medicine.

But this is a good thing - except...

"Taylor, Professor Adams told me that this kind of thing is really..."

Professor McGonagall looked at Andrew and had a headache.

Alchemy was persuaded, but how did you make such a big fuss about herbal medicine!

"My personal advice is not to expose yourself... The school will allocate a sum of money to Professor Adams, which is part of the Herbology Association..."

Are you kidding? Am I the kind of person who cares about reputation, professor?

Believe me, professor, I focus on transfiguration and don't want to be famous at all - just take the money, so as not to get the spotlight off, and I don't know whether I will become a genius or a pendant in the astronomy tower.

"I still want to study Transfiguration well... I don't like the kind of reputation that comes by chance... Besides, if you have too many reputations, like Mr. Potter, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to study."

Andrew pretended to think and said seriously.

"Well, okay, Professor Adams decided to give you all the 3,000 Galleons bonus... as compensation for your lost reputation."

? ? ?

No, so generous?

3,000 Galleons!

Andrew wanted to sigh-he just didn't want to be famous...

"It's a bit too much, professor."

"Not much, this matter is almost changeable-if you are not in the second year, I will never say such words to let you give up, but you are destined to be famous in Transfiguration, Taylor."

Professor McGonagall said it firmly.

‘I hope so too - the progress of herbalism has nothing to do with a herbalist like me. It’s a shame to hold such a title…’

‘It’s just that 3,000 Galleons is really… I can only accept it with shame…’

Andrew didn’t even want to say anything hypocritically. This would be struck by lightning - it’s just herbalism… God knows how it will develop…

Light…

This kind of thing can’t be stopped from the beginning - but it should be good, and it will be better.

‘It’s just… I’m sorry to the seniors in the laboratory… I put pressure on you. ’
