Chapter 379 The First Step of the Journey
When Andrew left the office to prepare for his own project, Dumbledore came out from the inner room, opened Professor McGonagall's drawer and took out some snacks.
"Don't you have any opinions, Albus?"
Professor McGonagall sat back in her seat and looked at Dumbledore, with a little uncertainty in her tone, "Taylor's idea is really, too shocking."
"Yes, the ambition is ridiculous," Dumbledore threw a piece of candied fruit into his mouth, "I never thought he would have such ambitions, but there's nothing wrong with it."
Speaking of ambition, there was no sadness on Dumbledore's face, and he was even a little happy, "He actually wanted to translate the whole Muggle world. I originally thought he was just a non-rigid wizard, but he is simply a genius in Muggle Studies."
"There is no doubt that Caridi will like him. There is no doubt that if Taylor goes to Muggle Studies If she fails to take the class, Miss Granger will probably lose the first place again. "
Professor McGonagall said with great certainty, "He even directly brought in Muggle theory, intending to use magic to interpret Muggle things. Even Charity can't do this."
"Not everyone has such a talent for Transfiguration, Minerva," Dumbledore said with some pleasure, "Perhaps, this is also a trend in the development of the wizarding world. Give him the note now. Muggle Studies - a subject that I am taking tutoring for myself, I am afraid that I can only give him such help."
"Albus, are you still studying?"
Professor McGonagall looked at Dumbledore curiously - if there is a problem that cannot be solved by magic, ask Albus to get the necessary magical help in about a week.
She is used to this, but Dumbledore said that he is still studying?
"Yes, I'm still studying. I've learned this and that, a little bit here and there. The magic world has been closed for too long, and I haven't paid attention to the outside world for too long. Using magic to make food, even I am used to the limitations of Gamp's basic law of transformation. I've read a lot, but I still can't break through the limitations of the rules."

"The theory is feasible, but it's not easy to replicate it in practice."
Andrew sat in the library and began to try to write. Although it was his own individual subject and he had prepared in advance, how to achieve it was still a problem.
Wood is the most convenient source of cellulose for Hogwarts, even in winter.
Although it doesn't take too long to replicate in theory, he has already prepared for a protracted war in his heart.
First, the cellulose extraction of wood, and then the saccharification of cellulose. He has not yet tried to transform water into chemical reagents through transfiguration, and he doesn't know what consequences the reaction will cause. He learned transfiguration in a conventional way. He didn't do anything on his own, and he didn't think about it suddenly. This is how he completed all the orthodox learning routes step by step in the shortest time.
But now he can let himself go happily, as long as he does a good job of safety management of the experiment.
‘That’s true, but I still have to pay attention to writing the topic of the experiment, especially in promotion. Studying cattle, horses, sheep, etc. and thinking of ways to supplement energy is obviously not suitable - got it. ’
[Analysis of the correlation between termites’ sugar addiction and wood feeding on wood saccharification deformation]
‘…’
What and what.
Andrew made a very tangled evaluation of his title, but after a long time without thinking of a better result, he finally chose to give up changing it.
‘That’s it, let’s harm termites first, and then we can directly catch cattle and sheep and other herbivores to try together. If we can transform chemical reagents, it’s best, if not, we can transform enzymes - the latter is more effective, but it’s too difficult to spread. ’
After deciding the title with difficulty, Andrew started to kill termites directly, and directly wrote how many termites he planned to kill, and what kind of anatomical imitation he would perform.
‘First, extract and imitate it yourself, and then get the bills ready, so that it will be convenient to exchange the equipment later. After all, it is the special fund of the Ministry of Magic. I am not embezzling it. I can’t plagiarize it all the way, right? ’
He didn’t intend to come up with the simplest one to shock people. If he could follow up and convince people, he could bring about the entire transformation and improvement of the magic world.
If he wanted to just write a paper, he could directly use Legilimency and Oblivion to go to a mature laboratory or even a factory, get the enzyme and directly use Transfiguration to copy it - the effect can be seen in one day, add some food magic, and it will be enough to write a Transfiguration article in one week.
Austria developed this technology in the 1980s. Although the distance is not close, it has been rolled out in recent years. Why should he bother with this thing just to pursue the results?
‘As for the steel industry, whether it is Professor Dumbledore or Mr. Nicol, there is no movement - I don’t know how their research is going, and how terrible the results will be. ’
He was not worried that the two alchemy masters would ignore modern steel technology, but he was very envious of the results, preferably the kind that could be used in Hogwarts, and he had no intention of hiding it.
How could he move all the things developed in the entire human world by himself? Only when everyone worked together could there be a purpose in life!
‘Don’t think about those things, it will be later, I will do the big work first. ’

"Well, it's passed. You can take the approval form to Professor Alice to collect your first start-up capital. You have also done the review rules, Taylor, remember to make it more complete."
Andrew's report was passed without any complicated review - the professor signed it without even looking at it carefully.
"In addition, I discussed with Albus," the professor pushed the report back, his expression was much more serious than before, "We decided to open the books in the restricted area to you."
"All books related to Transfiguration?"
Andrew was a little excited - because he had completed the courses related to Transfiguration?
"No, all, all the books in the restricted area," the professor stared at Andrew, "You can control yourself, right, Taylor?"
This trust is a bit too heavy.
"No doubt, professor," Andrew nodded, "and I don't think I can understand other books besides Transfiguration and spells."
"..."
After a short silence, Professor McGonagall added, "In any case, treat the dark magic with the most cautious attitude."
"I won't touch it, professor."
Andrew really didn't have much emotional fluctuations towards the dark magic - after completing his own human body transformation, the damage caused by his transformation was even more terrifying than the dark magic in a certain sense.
Unless others crush him in his own research field, otherwise, the human body transformation he released would be irreversible...
And this limitation, as he researches Transfiguration on his own, I'm afraid it will become greater and greater.
"Well, go ahead," the professor pushed the approval slip over - simple, but signed by the names of the two principals.
