Chapter 403: Qualified Experimental Progress

I'm ashamed, but I still need to figure things out thoroughly.

Although it seemed like a doctor had developed a new treatment plan for his professor inspired by Muggle healing techniques, things should not be taken for granted.

Because this thing is too illegal.

Yes, it is too illegal - cloning itself can trigger ethical discussions, and Andrew has seen too many quarrels about this issue.

Not to mention that there is an even more terrifying realization in the magic world - how to count the soul?

He admitted that he did underestimate the changes that Muggle medicine had brought to the wizarding world, but he did not believe that two wizards could solve the problem of specific differentiation of embryos without any technical reserves.

He didn't know how to do the latter step, but without raising the issue of human cloning that had not solved the ethical issues before, it was simply impossible to create limbs.

Knowledge under another system can indeed bring about rapid changes, but it definitely does not mean that you can fly up the ladder with your left foot and your right foot.

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

"That's it, Professor," Pye said with some excitement in his tone, "Actually, Muggle science has a completely different idea than we think of wizards as a whole brought about by a soul."

The soul as a whole?

Andrew was stunned for a moment, and 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 generations of wizards and the case of five-legged monsters, if a person's soul is distorted by transfiguration, then he will suffer Permanent changes like black magic damage.

If Andrew's current transformation technique can hit, it will probably be more effective like this - the only thing that can limit his lethality now is his combat experience and research accumulation on transformation techniques.

Not only transfiguration, but even Horcruxes are designed based on this concept. The soul fragments are poured into them through the power of black magic, and then the complex magic on the Horcruxes is used to reconstruct a new body in the sense of the creator'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, this, I’m afraid Pai is not practicing biology backwards, right? ’

Andrew looked at the other party with a bit of incomprehension, 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 use various artificial bones for implants." It enters the human body to replace the original bones, and those Muggles use it very miraculously. "

"Does it work well? This is not magic at all!"

Professor McGonagall had a strange expression on her face.

Andrew was also a little confused - he did know a little bit about bones, but they were all orthopedic jokes spread on the Internet (of course, not the German kind). Why did artificial bones appear so early?

In fact, artificial joint replacement surgery appeared much earlier than he thought, in the 19th century.

And after Pai, who had long been interested in Muggle technology, received a piece of advice that he considered very valuable, this was the first thing he studied.

"We even just engraved it on the bones and applied some magic. Professor, we even used the original bones. I tested them on animals. The bones are many times stronger than before!"

Pai said confidently, "I am preparing to conduct more magic experiments. If possible, I plan to use the help of alchemy to create more suitable products."

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

There are indeed artificial joints, and the human body is very miraculous.

In fact, one of the most amazing jokes Andrew heard about orthopedics sounded strangely magical - one of the treatments for bone cancer, inactivated transplantation, is dramatically called taking the bones off, boiling them, and giving you the original model. Put it back as it is.

At that time, this joke gave Andrew a huge shock - forget about the saw and ax joke, cooking big bones in the orthopedics department sounded as shocking as selling gourd heads in front of the anorectal hospital.

Mad-Eye can change his eyes into demon eyes, but there's no reason why he can't make demon bones by taking out his original bones.

It’s just that it really challenges your intuition.

Andrew took a deep breath, and another deep breath.

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

Human energy is limited, and so are wizards. Even if you drink magic potion and use a time turner, you can only work up to 29 hours a day. How can you really not sleep?

"I just made a guess about the medical aesthetics and then conducted animal experiments. It's not difficult to reproduce. The subsequent magic bone research took up most of my time, and it's just the beginning, Mr. Taylor."

Pai shook his head, "As for cloning, the monkeys are all under the care of Professor Keltburn. I only come to check occasionally. In fact, we all use the drugs from the original experiment to assist and promote them, and then compare them. After the embryos are cultivated, the subsequent breeding is the responsibility of the professor.”

Forehead…

Co-author, he said scary things for a long time, all just trying to make a fool of himself?

Andrew thought about it, and the two of them roughly made a plan. The eighty-one difficulty of the plan was that they hadn't even reached Wuzhishan yet...

"But how did you achieve that nurturing?"

"Cultivation?"

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, and then remembered a terrible thing.

Blast-tailed skrewts - the species mentioned by the speed pass seemed to be a special species cultivated alone. He underestimated magical biology.

In fact, Andrew had accumulated too little in this area, and the speed pass introduced too little.

If he really knew about the Blast-tailed skrewts, he wouldn't be surprised - the Blast-tailed skrewts were cultivated by Hagrid using a man-headed lion-body manticore and 60 fire crabs.

That's right, the difficulty of breeding these two is more outrageous than cloning. If Hagrid, as a professor, had not had a certain degree of extra-legal rights, he would have to go in - the Ministry of Magic has a complete "Prohibition of Animal Cultivation Experiments" law.

As the oldest and most suicidal professor of magical creatures at Hogwarts, the old professor's cultivation 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, but if you make a wizard, how do you count him?"

"If he doesn't have a soul, it's fine, but if he does, how do you count his relationship with 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 far behind, but he had to take precautions in advance.
