Hogwarts: Becoming a god from reselling fresh food

Halloween is coming.

Murphy sadly discovered that his goal of keeping healthy had not been achieved at all... Now he not only had to do research on his own, but also led students to do research, and he felt busier than before.

But fortunately there are rewards.

Two days ago, news came from the Magic Research Institute that after hundreds of model iterations and optimizations, they had found a super strong rod core antenna model that is expected to reach about 90% of the theoretical limit.

After matching the wand body model, the institute designed a wand.

Murphy was a little stunned when he saw the design drawing that the researchers nicknamed the "Supreme Wand".

Why does this thing look familiar?

From the outside, it looks like a sixteen-inch wooden stick, but it is different from ordinary wooden sticks. Like bamboo, it has a total of seven joints from beginning to end. In the cross-section, each joint has a large concentration of rod core coil.

Ah, this...

Isn't this the Elder Wand? !

Murphy has seen Dumbledore's wand. It cannot be said to be exactly the same as the one in the picture, but it is indeed very similar.

So the optimal structure that I put so much effort into calculating actually already exists?

Thinking of the biological characteristics of the wand, and the fact that the Elder Wand is passed down from generation to generation, if the subjective will of wizards believes that it is the strongest wand, then with the blessing of the power of the "Magic Network", the Elder Wand may be the strongest wand. The wand will optimize itself, and after countless generations of continuous optimization by its owners, it is very possible that it will eventually approach the theoretical optimal structure.

Isn’t this the magic version of the evolutionary algorithm?

Sure enough, compared to science, magic is still much more convenient, and its subjective initiative is really too strong.

With the wand designed, the next step is how to control the growth of the wand core by fusing the magic potion to make it look like the design drawing.

The wand core in the design is actually a phased array antenna tree. When magic flows through different branches, different harmonics will be formed, thus forming gains for signals of different frequencies and directions.

The antenna tree in the design is very complex. Under ideal conditions, there can be tens of thousands of branches. Even if it is simplified, it is necessary to control the growth of at least more than 60 main branches. The thickest of these branches is only about 10 microns.

Murphy doesn't have much clue yet on how to finely control the growth of the wand core, so he can only start with the shape of the wand core space.

He planned to dig the core space of the rod into the shape of an antenna tree.

If you can’t control the contents, then control the container first.

But if you want to create a fine structure of 10 microns in a piece of wood, ordinary methods are not feasible.

Murphy decided to use a magnifying spell plus laser engraving.

In order to achieve the best carving effect, he used snakewood with extremely high cell density as the staff material.

After the wand body is made through wood processing steps, first cut off the base and tip of the wand, use the magnification spell to enlarge the wand body ten times, and then start from the bottom or both ends of the head, use high-energy laser to drill holes, dig Create a tree-shaped wand core space.

For the coil structure of the joint part, gamma rays are used for internal engraving.

After the wand core space is completed, release the magnification spell and restore it to its original size. Then install the wand tip, inject the fusion potion in the clean room, finally put the wand core in, insert the base part, and wait for the wand core to be stimulated by the fusion potion. , growing along the core space of the tree-shaped structure.

But even with this method, the overall processing accuracy is only 10 microns. Only the more than thirty main branches can be carved to meet the requirements. The remaining branches with smaller diameters and higher precision requirements cannot be carved at all.

The coil structure of the joint part also failed to meet the design requirements, and the number of coils and turns were reduced by more than half.

However, this is already the limit of the current carving process.

Murphy wanted to know how the performance of the wand produced in this way compared with the Elder Wand.

…

On the last weekend of October, the core of the wand is finished growing.

The snakewood wand is finally complete.

It was sixteen inches long, dark red all over, and covered with snake patterns. It was heavy in the hand, and it felt more like a metal weapon than a wooden stick.

Murphy added a bird and snake feather to the wand - the reason why he did not use his own hair or the like was because he was still not sure whether his own body parts as the core of the wand would be affected by cell aging, etc. To reduce variables, first test with bird and snake feathers that are sure to be used as the core of the wand.

He tried it himself first, and it was indeed much stronger than the wand he had made before, but perhaps due to the nature of the wand, it still could not achieve the effect that satisfied him.

So after Murphy tested the magic properties of the wand, he handed it to Tom, who was the most suitable one in theory.

In fact, Harry can do it, but his first Quidditch match is about to start. Harry has been training very hard recently and has no time to participate in group activities.

"This wand is too new. According to some of my guesses, the new wand needs to go through a period of running-in with its owner. You can try it more in the next few days. After you feel familiar with it, we will compare it with you. The difference between the original wand.”

Tom hesitated.

He had just recently discovered a clue about Tom Riddle.

Not long ago, Draco told him that Tom Riddle was a student at Hogwarts fifty years ago. His special contribution award to the school was related to preventing a vicious case. Later, after Tom's many investigations, It was discovered that a Muggle-born student, Myrtle Warren, had been killed in that case.

He was currently trying to find out who Myrtle Warren was. He had to go to the library and spend a long time every day. He originally didn't want to take on such a test task.

But this snakewood wand is so beautiful.

After learning that he was a Parselmouth, Tom became very fond of snakes. This snakewood wand was tailor-made for him.

He took the wand from Murphy's hand, and the moment he took it, he felt a surging power filling his body, as if he could do anything he wanted to accomplish with this wand.

Powerful, undoubtedly powerful!

He just couldn't bear the chance to use this wand.

"Okay, Professor, I'll make good use of it."

…

Halloween.

The large restaurant was filled with jack-o-lanterns, countless bats were flying around, and the four dining tables were filled with food.

Harry and Ron sat at the Ravenclaw table and tasted pumpkin pie with Hermione.

"Where's Tom?" Harry asked. He felt like he hadn't seen several team members except Ron for a while recently.

"He suddenly ran out just now," Qiu Zhang said doubtfully, not far from them. "I just told Hermione about Weeping Myrtle, and he seemed very interested. I asked where Myrtle was. gone."

"Myrtle? That female ghost?" Ron also heard about this ghost from his brothers. "What's he doing to find a ghost?"

"Could it be related to our topic?" Harry asked.

"No, I've been with Tom a lot recently. He's been studying Legilimency. There hasn't been much research on ghosts yet..." Hermione said.

Several people were a little confused, but Tom was a Slytherin and was somewhat mysterious. It would not be surprising if he kept some secrets from them.

…

Murphy sat at the teacher's desk and slowly processed the stewed potatoes in front of him, feeling a little unappetized.

Although he had been accustomed to Daying's diet for so many years, he was really tired of having it every day.

If I had known earlier, I would have asked the students to do some experiments. Wouldn’t it be the end of growing vegetables? !

Even if you plant a few cabbages for me, it will still be better than growing potatoes every day.

He simply put down his knife and fork and glanced at the students below.

The Iron Triangle is all there.

Since Hermione was sorted into Ravenclaw, she didn't have to worry about two daredevils deducting house points, and she didn't have to be reminded of her fate every day. Therefore, her relationship with Harry and Ron was pretty good, and she wasn't disliked.

And she was also at home in Ravenclaw, and even made friends with Qiu Zhang. Naturally, there was no situation in the original book where she ran to the toilet to cry when Ron said he had no friends.

This may make the friendship between the three not as strong as in the original work, but it doesn't matter. The iron triangle is just for the plot. Harry is the protagonist of Dumbledore's drama, but it has nothing to do with his own script.

By the way, where is Tom?

He was about to observe Tom's movements through the mind seed, when suddenly, Quirrell ran in.

"Troll! The troll is in the underground classroom!"
