Hogwarts: Becoming a god from reselling fresh food

"That's good." Murphy patted Andrew on the shoulder to encourage him.

He had already heard the other party's special report before, and this time he came specifically to support it.

"Thank you, director, for your support, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to progress so fast." Andrew flattered him a little.

It seems that this period of time as the team leader has really brought about a lot of changes in him. He would never be willing to say such things before.

"Don't be so polite to me." Murphy said.

Although these researchers are also doing scientific research, on the other hand, they are actually working for Murphy's dream, and Murphy has always been friendly to people who can help him.

"Do you have any other needs for follow-up research?"

Revealing and accelerating the process of ordinary Animagus is certainly a very good result, but for the current Murphy, simply turning into an animal is unlikely to bring any effective improvement. Therefore, he is still eager to continue advancing research.

"There are indeed some." Andrew said with some embarrassment, "Although we now have a certain degree of understanding of the principles of Animagus deformation, it is still far from enough."

"Animagus transformation actually has two interrelated steps: potions and spells. As for potions, we have fully tested the changes in each stage and have accumulated a lot of data. But in terms of spells, we have fully tested the changes in each stage. However, the information on this aspect is still very lacking.”

"The most important reason is that the wizards who are undergoing Animagus transformation do not work in the laboratory. It is difficult for us to monitor their physical changes in real time."

"Therefore, we would like to ask the director, can we recruit a few more wizards into the research institute to cooperate with us in our research on transformation?"

"This..." Murphy was a little embarrassed.

The Animagus potion obtained by the Transformation Research Team was made by Murphy who arranged for the wizards in the Watchman Security Store.

Although they are already Murphy's clerks, they are not directly recruited by him like the Alex siblings. They are not loyal enough to Murphy, and Murphy does not know them well enough. Therefore, Murphy does not want them to Know that the institute exists.

"Is there any other alternative?" Murphy asked.

Before the safety verification of the soul seed has been completed, recruiting wizards is still a risky matter. The Magic Research Institute is the core of Murphy's plan, and there must be no problems. Any behavior that may expose it to the wizarding world is It's something Murphy wants to avoid.

"Hmm..." Andrew thought for a moment and said, "At least, we must be able to monitor the physical changes and magic power of the wizard when he uses spells in the morning and evening."

"Body changes are easy to handle. Some Muggle monitoring equipment can do it. But the magic situation... The spell research team's magic tester should have some results in miniaturization. I will ask them to make a batch later and give it to the wizards first. .”

"Thank you, Director, but these data may still be insufficient..."

"I understand. I'll try to help you get some wizards into the group as soon as possible."

…

the next day.

In the chip research team, Derek Preston lost a lot of weight. He held Murphy in his eyes with excessive cultivation, "Director, we need wizards!"

"What's the situation?" Murphy was confused, "Please tell me in detail."

"As you know, our chip research and development is based on a combination of science and magic that bypasses the manufacturing process through amplification and reduction spells." Dairich said, "But since no wizard has been involved in this process, we had to use house elves to complete the magic first. part."

"Yes, what's the problem?" Murphy asked.

The house elves' magical abilities are not bad, and their loyalty is guaranteed. If it weren't for the fact that the Animagus transformation was originally to prepare for his future promotion, and he needed to use wizards as a template, he would have wanted the house elves Replacement wizards participate in the research of transformation pathways.

"House elves are very good. They are very enthusiastic, obedient, and very well-behaved. Although they are ugly, they are also quite cute sometimes..."

After Dai Ruiqi praised him a lot, the topic changed.

"However, they are not suitable for the job."

"Oh? Can't they also use the magic of zooming in and out?"

"Yes, they can indeed be used, but their magic is too random. The magnification spell used by the same elf can sometimes magnify the wafer more than ten times, and sometimes it can only magnify it two or three times... …”

"The fluctuations are too big. We try to use various methods to stabilize their magic effects, such as drawing them to enlarged sizes, designing a mold for them, and only need to enlarge the wafer until it just fills the mold, and then Just enough so that it won’t be crushed…”

"But, in the best case scenario, their spell magnifies the wafer five times and there is still an error of two to four inches."

"You know, this is only an eight-inch wafer originally. If it is still about four inches short after enlargement, after shrinking, the process difference may reach about 0.1 micron, and the yield cannot be guaranteed at all, not to mention the different sizes. The resulting difficulty in packaging and testing..."

Murphy also frowned, "What is the specific cause? Have you analyzed it?"

"Yes, we have done a lot of analysis and communicated with several experts from the Conjuration Research Group. We guess that this is because the house elves use magic in a very crude way."

"The magic of house elves does not require spells or wands. It is very convenient and at the same time very difficult to standardize. The magic occurs in a primitive manner, just like a spherical bullet shot from an unrifled barrel. It is precise. Very low.”

"What about teaching them spells?"

"We also tried it. Maybe they have become accustomed to our own way of casting spells. Letting them use spells will cause the magic to fail. We also found a few old wands and let them experiment. Now they can't use the magnification and reduction spells. After taking the wand, you can't even use their best cleaning magic."

This was a situation that Murphy had not expected.

However, the fact that house elves cannot use spells and wands to cast spells may not necessarily be due to habit. There may be selfish considerations on the part of the wizards.

After all, house elves are creatures created by wizards, and the "loyalty" brand engraved on them may not take effect every time - such as Dobby - then add another layer of restrictions that cannot use spells and wands to ensure that wizards respect them. Slavery is entirely possible.

Murphy was not a little girl and didn't care much about the rights of house elves, but house elves couldn't be used, which meant that he had to recruit some wizards.

Research on deformation pathways does not happen overnight, and can be done slowly, but the chip...

He was burning hundreds of thousands or even millions of pounds every day, and he couldn't afford to wait.

Besides, a place called the Magic Research Institute, including the boss, only has three wizards, which is indeed too unworthy of its name.

Expansion, must be expanded.

Murphy came to the mind magic research team and he wanted to collect money.

"Funes, Omid, it's been half a year, have you achieved any results in your research on the mind?"
