Hogwarts Crawler

Even though Professor Snape's time and energy were occupied by various things, he still became the youngest potion master in the world.

However, the one standing in front of Adam now was Professor Snape, who had lived a happy life and had a lot of time and energy to study potions on the basis of being a potion master.

But even so, it stands to reason that Professor Snape would hardly be confident that he could crush Professor Slughorn, so that the other party would voluntarily give up the position of dean. After all, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts, and Professor Slughorn also has to have face.

You may have a deeper research in this direction, but I also have my own areas of expertise. As a potion master, why do you say that I am worse than you?

Unless...

Adam's eyes were shining, and he looked at Professor Snape as if he was looking at a treasure mountain.

You know, the simple part of potion learning is very simple, and it is really complicated when it becomes complicated.

Especially when they reach the stage of potion master, what they need to study is far more than simply throwing several materials into the crucible in order and proportion, changing the heat, and stirring a few times.

The complex process can be compared to organic reactions.

Adam himself has never done this, but in his previous life, he met a senior who came to help his tutor as an assistant (actually, he took the tutor's elective course) in an elective course in college.

The daily work of this senior is to move bricks in the laboratory. Adam has a good relationship with him because he picked up his campus card in the cafeteria.

Because of this, Adam was able to glimpse some truths that he had never known before -

Organic reactions in high school textbooks:

A+B generates C

Organic reactions in the laboratory:

Dissolve A in the corresponding solvent C, put it together with B dissolved in another solvent D, add catalyst O, ligand P, oxidant or reductant Q, and it is known that this reaction will generate E.

Then, after the reaction has been going on for a while and the catalyst and ligand are removed, what is left in the reaction container?

The answer is: unreacted A and B, main product E and by-product F, substances A1B1 produced by various reactions such as oxidation and hydrolysis of A and B, new substances produced by the reaction between AB and their generated A1B1, new substances decomposed from the unstable above substances...

Moreover, the above situation will change randomly with the difference of various subjective and objective factors such as temperature, pH value, solvent catalyst used, etc.

The interference factors may even include the mood of the dog of the dormitory aunt downstairs during the experiment...

And whether you have offered milk and bread to Liebig every day during the experiment according to your oath.

Hahahaha——(The meaningless laughter of the senior student in the circle of friends at 2 o'clock in the morning)

The preparation of potions is also a similar process. The by-products in ordinary potions can be basically ignored, and a pot of potion that can be drunk can be boiled in half an hour.

But for those advanced potions, especially the top ones, there are many steps in the long cooking time to obtain effective potions and many steps to deal with harmful impurities. The changes are complex and delicate.

Just like the Felixir, if there is a mistake in the cooking process, it will become a pot of unknown effect but with a high probability of being poisonous.

You must know that potions are not organic chemistry after all. The effective or harmful ingredients in them are not real substances in the material world, but metaphysical magic. Physical means are not effective at all.

Maybe he needs to find someone to talk to after moving too much bricks. The senior talked about a lot of chemical knowledge with Adam, who was very free during his hospitalization. Although the knowledge was not systematic, the operation was quite complete.

Adam tried it with the little practical knowledge left in his memory, and gave up directly after finding that the knowledge was useless for potions. After all, his research on potions was mainly to make longevity potions rather than really loving potions.

But after Professor Snape discussed it with Adam, he showed a very interested look.

However, little Potter had more and more troubles at that time. Although Adam took away a lot of Harry's roles in the later period, Voldemort was resurrected in the later period. Professor Snape was so busy that 24 hours a day was not enough, and this interest remained just an interest.

It was not until Voldemort's death that Professor Snape picked up this interest again, but it seems that there was no news of any results.

Could it be that during this period in the parallel world, Professor Snape...

Seeing the change in Adam's eyes, Professor Snape raised the corners of his mouth, a gentle smile appeared in his eyes, and nodded:

"When I was there, my own knowledge of potions was already shocking enough, soI spent more time on those Muggle theories you mentioned... chromatography and other Muggle theories, and finally succeeded in achieving some results and improving the brewing methods of some potions. "

While speaking, Professor Snape took out a bottle of Felix Felicis from his pocket:

"The Felix Felicis brewed in the new way takes one month less than before, the success rate is greatly improved, and the side effects are also smaller than before... I think there is still room for improvement."

"My Merlin..."

Although he had already made a guess, Adam couldn't help but cover his forehead with his hand and gasped when he got Professor Snape's confirmation:

"Professor Snape, you are too modest. This is not a "little result"..."

Just pull a professor of potion science over and repeat what Professor Snape said just now to the other party. The other party will definitely think that Professor Snape is crazy or that he is crazy, and he may even shout something like "Potions no longer exist".

You must know that according to the previous generation, Felix Felicis It is not an exaggeration to call it the crown jewel of potion science. Its brewing method has been refined by countless potion masters and is the best solution that cannot be changed. This is the case with the Felixir, not to mention other potions.

This is a groundbreaking innovation for the entire potion science!

While his mind was a little confused, Adam couldn't help but reflect on whether there was something wrong with his previous thinking.

Before this, he paid more attention to those wizards who had made extraordinary achievements in magic, believing that they were leading the progress of the wizarding world. .

But now it seems that compared with the professors who have studied Tiamat and Abzu and have not found anything until now, it seems that talents like Professor Snape in potion science are more...

You know, physical means are ineffective against the magic in potions. The so-called chromatography can only provide Professor Snape with an idea. It is impossible to separate the magic in the potion into any effective ingredients. What can be studied from it is entirely Professor Snape's own talent and ability.

However, Adam then denied his own idea and could not be so arbitrary.

Although spells and potions are based on magic, they can basically be considered as two different systems, and Professor Snape would not have achieved the current results without the time in the parallel world.

But it is certain that Adam's previous ideas were missed, and his vision should be broader... Even relying on past geniuses is not enough. There may be wizards who can take a new path in the future.

For example, Professor Longbottom, who is currently vaguely about to take the path of druids?

At this moment, Adam is more determined to develop higher education for wizards.
