Hogwarts: I Really Don't Want to Be a Wizard - Chapter 117

c117 Neville in a coma

Originally, Gret was still immersed in studying the mystery of the Master of Explosion, but because of one thing, he had to put it aside temporarily and hand it over to others.

The reason was that Neville Longbottom, who was highly expected by Gret, had some problems during the experiment.

During this period, Gret basically stayed with Seamus. After all, except for him, no one else could study the problem of Seamus through magic particles.

Therefore, other projects have always been led by themselves, and Gret just provides them with the materials they need and sufficient funds.

Neville Longbottom chose to induce the seeds to evolve in the direction he wanted, which is also the terminal project that Dawn has been studying recently.

For all overlapping projects, Gret will share the research data of Dawn and Dawn from time to time.

This can not only help them avoid detours and inspire inspiration, but also promote their healthy competition.

Everyone knows that Gret, the leader, has always attached great importance to research.

No matter who it is, no matter what project it is, as long as the research has achieved practical results, no matter how big or small, the rewards arranged are always very generous.

Dawn has been working on this project for a long time. Although no real results have been achieved so far, they have accumulated nearly half a person’s height of effective data.

Thanks to the convenience of magic, they don’t have to wait for the results like Muggle scientists.

Whenever they cultivate new seeds, they throw them into the nutrient solution and silently use magic to promote their growth.

It takes a day at the slowest and a few hours at the fastest to germinate, grow branches, bloom and bear fruits. In one day, they can verify 80% of their ideas.

So, when Dawn shared the data with Neville, who was also in charge of seed evolution, Neville’s progress jumped to the top among the Dawn people.

However, Neville has been cursed countless times since he was a child, and now he will forget what he is doing from time to time.

As a result, his progress is not as fast as he imagined.

Grete didn’t care. Although this kind of thing is beneficial to the present and the future, it is not as urgent as imagined.

According to Grete’s calculations, if he really wants to cultivate the seeds of his dreams, three to five years, or even more than ten years is not a long time.

Who would have thought that even with the aftereffects of the Forgetfulness Curse, Neville could still rely on his outstanding talent in herbology to beat the researchers of Dawn.

He found plants that matched the seeds in the magical herbs in a different way.

Gramina scabra, a magical plant with extremely developed root system, generally only grows on plateaus above 3,000 meters above sea level, and the living environment is mostly cold and dry.

In order to survive, they will dig their roots deep into the rocks and intercept water and nutrients through the spreading roots.

The magic world often regards the roots of Gramina scabra as a necessary material for the configuration of growth potions.

More appropriately, Neville determined that this plant belongs to the Poaceae family by studying the plant classification guide provided by Grete in the Muggle world.

It belongs to the same family as the plants he is currently studying, which will greatly reduce the problems he may encounter in the research process.

Neville cultivated seeds from the direction of high yield.

Since you want high yield, it is essential to absorb more nutrients to supply plant growth.

If the root system of the small-leaved early maturing grass can be transferred to the seeds of crops, it can not only solve the problem of nutrients, but also solve the problem of lodging of crops.

The researchers of Shuguang, who also cut into the direction of high yield, considered making the plants produce more fruit ears, more fruits, and naturally high yields.

This research idea is also fine, but there is a big problem that cannot be avoided, because when it comes to farming, farmers cannot provide crops with sufficient nutrients like in the laboratory.

In other words, the more food is given to crops, the more food will be produced.

For this reason, they have been studying how to reduce nutrient consumption for a period of time, but they have no clue.

Their ideas triggered Neville’s flash of inspiration.

Since there is no way to reduce nutrient consumption, can we increase the utilization rate of nutrients?

Less waste, more utilization will naturally.

After that, Neville set his sights on the magical plants that he was most interested in.

The researchers of the Shuguang Research Institute have not considered magical plants.

However, they tried many times and finally found helplessly that the ordinary plants in the Muggle world were really weak compared to the magical plants in the magic world.

Many times, they watched the seeds they cultivated being swallowed up by the magical properties of the magical plants little by little during the growth process.

In the end, they did not get high-yield and disease-resistant crops, and even the magical properties of the original magical plants became unstable.

Over time, they threw this idea behind their heads and concentrated on using magic to hybridize and induce seeds in order to cultivate perfect crops.

Neville also saw many failures in their research records.

But unlike the disappointed Dawn researcher, Neville saw the possibility of success from their failure.

The magical properties of magical plants are deeply rooted and difficult to be changed by external forces.

But mixing with ordinary Muggle crops can actually destroy this property, which means that they have actually begun to merge.

In addition, for the time being, he has no other ideas, even if he follows the Shuguang Research Institute to study multi-fruit to increase production.

It is not necessarily possible to catch up with the progress of others. After all, when Grete provides research records to both parties, he does so at a frequency of once a week.

In order to avoid duplicating work with Dawn’s research, Neville resolutely carried the characteristics of transforming magical plants on his own shoulders.

He always had a feeling that he might not be taking the wrong approach. Perhaps, the first person to submit results would be himself.

Also, what Grete said to him on the day of recruitment at dawn, he could help him save his parents.

Just like Harry said during the night conversation, Gretel can operate on people’s souls.

He was so eager to see his parents back to normal.

If possible, he wanted to chat and eat with his parents at home, instead of watching them in St. Mungo’s from a distance through the glass, confused and crazy.

Maybe if the results are achieved one day earlier, Gretel can be asked to go to St. Mungo’s to cure his parents earlier.

Relying on this belief, Neville spent so many days squeezing his sleep and putting all his energy into cultivating improved seeds in his spare time.

I don’t know why, but the more he immersed himself in the study of plants, the more Neville felt that he could understand them.

The leaves swaying gently in the breeze, rain and dew are them rejoicing; the branches and leaves are drooping, they are sad for the fallen leaves…

Neville didn’t know if this was an illusion, but he no longer had the energy to care about such things.

Anyway, being able to understand and understand plants is not a bad thing. In fact, it will be more conducive to the research he is doing now.

Like the recorded research at Dawn, none of the seeds he cultivated grew according to his own ideas.

It either withered halfway, was devoured by magical properties, or was found to be inedible afterward.

Until Luna, the girl who didn’t seem to care about anything and wandered around various research rooms at dawn every day, came to his side.

“They’re messed up.” Luna was always like this, saying something inexplicable that no one could understand.

Neville didn’t understand it at first, until he saw Luna gently holding up the plant that was completely drooping, which he judged to be a failure.

When she lifted it up, her movements were extremely gentle, as if she were taking care of a child.

She whispered to it again, sang to it.

After getting Neville’s permission, he jumped happily and ran out with the plant.

…

After another herbal medicine class, Neville saw Luna squatting next to a mudflat next to the Black Lake.

A sudden strong curiosity drove him closer there.

The lodging plant that he judged to be dead was still surviving strongly, although it was still lodging.

The roots are rooted in the mudflat, and the stems and leaves are lying on the grass next to them, crawling forward and growing forward.

This time he heard what Luna meant by chaos.

The plant that he cultivated by his own hands screamed for fruiting, sprouting, and blooming again. They didn’t seem to know what time it was.

The ‘consciousness’ of the magical plants themselves is entangled with the ‘consciousness’ of the crop seeds, and they cannot figure out what their mission is.

All they left behind was the common consciousness of plants, whether magical or Muggle, to “grow, to the end of their lives.”

Neville returned to his own laboratory, a laboratory specializing in seed evolution.

There are nearly a thousand records of his failed research here.

In order to ensure early results, he usually casts a wide net, starting with at least three or five cultivars at the same time, and often cultivating them in one day from morning to night. Even hundreds of cultivars are more than enough.

This time he was not in a hurry to take action, and he no longer considered asking Grete to help him treat his parents.

Just like when he came into contact with the magical herbal medicine class for the first time, he honestly took out all the books he had read and considered every word and every word.

After reading Herbology, he began to read information about Muggles. He also considered it honestly. When he encountered unclear problems, he would contact Penello at Dawn Headquarters and ask her to help collect relevant Muggle information. The world’s scientific literature.

Grete told all of them at Daybreak that when they need help, they can contact Dawn.

However, because both parties are parallel organizations running independently, remuneration is required for requesting Sugon’s help.

But there is no need for them to worry. As the organizer and largest financial backer of Dawn, the resources they have consumed are not even a drop in the bucket of Gretel.

After everything was settled and everything needed was ready, Neville got started again.

According to records from the Muggle world, the crops he studied belonged to the family Poaceae.

Following this characteristic, he set his sights on a series of magical plants headed by E. precocious.

The cultivation this time was much simpler than his previous aimless experiments.

Let’s not talk about the results for now. Just talk about the survival rate of these plants, which is much better than before.

Even if he failed, he would never be upset and simply plant them in flowerpots one by one, filling his laboratory.

I don’t know what day it was, but many plants in the laboratory bloomed. Neville listened to them blooming and shouting happily that they were blooming.

Manual cross-pollination and keeping records, Neville followed the scientific research process in the Muggle world step by step.

The day the seeds appeared, Neville soaked them in the nutrient solution as usual, and the magic was born.

After that, Neville ‘heard’ a ‘shout’ that almost echoed through the entire laboratory, “More, please, it’s not enough~”

The slender plant has its stems lowered by the plump fruit ears, and the blue nutrient solution prepared has become clear and transparent.

Looking at the plants again, it is obvious that they want to continue growing, but the active ingredients in the nutrient solution have been absorbed by them.

——

When Gretel heard the news and came to the laboratory, he saw Neville who had just fallen into a coma.

After hearing what the people in the adjacent laboratory told him, Gretel decisively turned on the Silver Eye Observation and observed Neville who fell to the ground.

Each of the crops he cultivated with his own hands spat out magic particles towards Neville.

In front of Neville, a ‘bridge’ was built that only Gretel could see.

It’s more of a funnel than a bridge.

At the other end of the funnel, the magic particles that usually floated in the air tiredly, seemed to have been stimulated by something, and crazily drilled in from the mouth of the funnel, while the other end was constantly ‘watering’ at Neville.

“Don’t worry, it’s okay.”

In the worried eyes of everyone, Gretel moved closer.

He knew that good things would happen if he made results, but he didn’t know that Neville would cause such a big sensation.

Gretel calls this wave of magic particles the gift of world consciousness, or a gift.

After all, Shuguang has been researching for so long, and every time he produces results, he can observe this happening.

All research that is beneficial to mankind will receive this gift.

However, compared with Neville, that little movement was a bit lacking.

Now it seems that Neville should have made achievements that can be passed down in a systematic way.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation, from ancient times to the present, surrounding human food, may be solved in the hands of Neville.

Thinking about it, there really should be such a big movement.

Sometimes I think about what if such a big contribution was just like a few raindrops in the desert.

Who is willing to promote social progress?

After thinking about it, Gretel stepped forward to help him calm down. Otherwise, he felt that Neville might not be able to wake up all day today.
