[HP] SF Department Harry

"Uh, Harry... can't we get close to these plants?" Hannah asked a little disappointed after finding that all the places where people could walk were separated by glass covers.

"Not in this area, this is the dangerous plant area," Harry replied, taking out a booklet that could be opened. "Didn't you all take a map when you entered the door?" Harry asked with some surprise.

"Eh? Is there such a thing?" "I didn't notice it at all!" Neither the professors nor the graduated students noticed that there was such a thing.At that time, they were worried about losing Harry, and they just followed Harry's back.

"Oh, all right then." Harry took out his holly wand, cast a Copying Charm on the map and handed it out to everyone. "This zoo and botanical garden can be completely self-guided. Now we are in the dangerous plant area of ​​​​the terrestrial rainforest. Well, this is here." Harry spread out his map and pointed it out to everyone. "The one in the middle is the rest area, where you eat and sleep at night," Harry pointed to the middle place again, "There are also marks on the map in other places. You can choose where you want to go, you don't need to follow me , It’s my first time here too.” said Harry, who finally understood why everyone followed him like a tour guide.

Although Harry said so, most still chose to follow Harry, and a few Slytherin graduates chose to go by themselves, such as Pansy Parkinson and Theodore Nott.

"You really haven't been here?" Salazar asked Harry in a low voice to confirm.

"Of course, the most time I spent on Peverell before was basically in the mansion on Peverell, and I haven't been to many places on Peverell either." Harry replied, this answer made everyone very surprised.

"Then Harry, how did you know about the attractions we visited this time?" Draco asked in surprise.

"Of course it's the Raiders!" Harry shrugged.

"Why is this a dangerous plant area?" Sprout was confused about the plants. She could tell that this was a tropical rainforest environment, but she didn't know why it was considered dangerous.The plants didn't even have the malevolent tentacles of the herbs in her greenhouse.Just as she was thinking this, a strange creature suddenly stuck to the glass in front of them.

The sucker treeworm, a moss and lichen-eating animal on Starwood, can fly, and the sucker has a strong suction that can be attached to any smooth surface.There are three subspecies of tree insects.Wild species are found everywhere in the southern hemisphere of Straywood where moss and lichen grow.The voice in the commentator spoke in standard English, and also mentioned its scientific name.

The wizards picked up the map in their hands and turned to the introduction part to look at it, and found that the division of the zoo and botanical garden is not a kind of division, but a complete ecosystem with a characteristic is counted as a large area.In other words, in an area, they can see both plants, animals, and even fungi.But what you can see depends on your own luck.

"There are so many, can you finish reading them in two days?" Ernie asked suspiciously after counting the number of partitions.

"Of course not, so you have to choose." Harry said, "Tourists here usually come multiple times. Its discount is that if you come for the second time within a month, the tickets are free. If you come once, it counts as a month." If you don’t come again, you can get half-price tickets for life. As long as you don’t change your eyes.”

"Why can't you just change the eyes?" Neville asked with some fear.

"If the iris is wrong, the system can't recognize it." Harry explained, a Cornish elf that looked as big as a human and looked like a blue hair attracted everyone's attention. Flying with wings and holding some purple mushrooms in two pairs of "hands", when it flew over the top of a bland tree that looked no different from the banyan tree on the earth, the tree's Suddenly, all the air roots were like arrows leaving the string, piercing the giant "Cornish Elf" into a sieve, and then pressing it into the soil.

"!!" Everyone finally understood why this is a dangerous plant area.It's full of monsters masquerading as harmless plants!Even after observing this area for 5 minutes without moving, they could clearly feel how ferocious the plants here are.Of course, there are some carnivorous plants on the earth, and even the Hogwarts greenhouse has poisonous tentacles that are malicious to people.However, the relationship between animals and plants is still mainly eating and being eaten.And the danger of those plants is mainly for their own defense.

But the plants in this area are completely reversed. They not only attack and kill animals that approach them, but also digest them as nutrient stores.Some are not even willing to sit on the sidelines, but take the initiative to chase and hunt animals!They even saw that a weak plant that looked like an orchid pulled out its root system and chased an animal that looked like a weasel but was as big as a wild boar for more than ten meters. Only an animal before it stops and sinks its roots into the soil of its new location.Even though they were wizards, it took a little while for everyone to accept that this area was a food chain that went against their common sense.

"Um, Harry, doesn't it matter if the animals here are eaten?" Hermione thought of Muggle zoos, where people went to great lengths to keep every animal in the zoo alive, because most of the animals there were priced at Not cheap.As for this artificial rainforest, Hermione knew through the narrator that the species in the entire forest came from another galaxy. Logically speaking, with so many creatures purchased and transported from so far away, every creature here Shouldn't be cheap either. "Will the animals not be eaten?" she added.

"No, because a relatively stable ecosystem has been established here." Harry replied, "The number of people who are eaten is just in balance with the number of new babies."

"That's amazing, then this ecosystem should be well-studied!" Justin said in admiration.

"Why do you say that?" Ernie asked Justin puzzled.Members of the Bombers Association know what they mean about the ecosystem, and they even each made a mini aquarium eco-bottle, when Harry not only got a super-sized bottle, but also the A mermaid cub was caught and kept in it, and it was not released back to the Black Lake until the end of the activity three months later.Those poor mermaids didn't dare to protest to Harry at all, but Harry didn't do anything to hurt the baby mermaid except keeping the baby mermaid in a big bottle.In fact, when the mermaid cub was released back to the Black Lake, it was still reluctant to let go after being conquered by Harry with delicious food!But even so, they still have a taste of the concept of the ecosystem, and the little fish in Ernie's own eco-bottle died in just three days, and Harry was going to fry it and eat it up.

"The more organisms the ecosystem contains, the more complex it is," said Padma, one of the Petil twins, pushing her newly-fitted glasses. Her sister Parvati is not short-sighted, but she was recently diagnosed. Very nearsighted. "A complete ecosystem can last forever without human intervention. But the more things involved, the more likely it is to go wrong. The absence of a species, or too much or too little, will make this whole in a short time. Ecosystems collapse. So it's remarkable to be able to make such a complex ecosystem work in an artificial environment like this that inevitably lacks conditions."

"What's inevitably missing?" Seamus still felt he couldn't figure it out.

"Such as the wind, such as the rotation of the planet, such as gravity." Harry said after taking a chocolate vanilla lollipop out of his mouth and licking it again.

"...I still don't quite understand," Seamus said blackly, and Dean, who had been their roommate for seven years, nodded in agreement with Seamo's opinion.Of course, it wasn't just the two of them, even several professors and librarians looked confused, not quite understanding why Harry mentioned these things.

"Take the earth as an example," Harry said after crunching the lollipop back into his mouth and eating it, "we know that the earth is in the right place in the solar system, and the heat brought by the sun keeps the earth from falling. Too cold and not too hot. However, the sun does not allow every corner of the earth to be heated evenly. Hot and cold air will flow and merge with each other, which forms wind. Because of the earth's revolution and rotation, there are monsoon belt."

"After Muggles discovered the American continent, they spent a long time researching why the Amazon rainforest, which is almost the most barren land on earth, can grow such a rich variety of plants and have such a rich biodiversity?" Haha Li paused, took a few sips from a bottle of water from the side pocket of his small backpack.And everyone was confused by the relationship between Harry’s two paragraphs, “It was only later that people discovered that even though the abundant rainfall almost washed all the humus accumulated in the Amazon rainforest into the Amazon River, the Amazon rainforest is known as the land of the earth. The rainforest of the lungs has nutrients that fall from the sky. And the dust rich in nutrients comes from the remote Sahara Desert.”

"Isn't the Sahara desert...I see," Hermione figured it out after a moment of confusion, "It's the wind that brought the sand from the Sahara desert to the Amazon."

"Well, that's it." Harry nodded.When they were about to leave the terrestrial dangerous plant area, those who chose to go by themselves turned back for some reason and left with Harry and the others again.

"Well, then the area we should go to next is..." Salazar, who had unknowingly become the leader of the team, picked up their next destination with his map, and Harry interrupted suddenly.

"Meow in the dining area!" Harry's strange eyes stared at Salazar expectantly, making it impossible to refuse.

"Harry!" Everyone shouted helplessly and amusedly.

"It's already twelve o'clock!" Harry moved out the time to prove that it was indeed time for lunch.Although most of them didn't think they were very hungry, they agreed to Harry's proposal to eat first, although most of them, especially the ex-Ravenclaws and ex-Hufflepuffs, Even the terrestrial rainforest dangerous plant area has not been seen enough.

The dining area is in the rest area, located in the center of the entire zoo and botanical garden. At the same time, it is also the exit of the zoo and botanical garden. In this area, there are restaurants, accommodation, and various snacks and souvenirs.If you buy souvenirs here, you don’t need to carry them yourself, as long as you fill in the address, not only the hotel they stayed in before, but even Hogwarts can be delivered to you.Almost as soon as they got here, the wizards began to stare at such a wealth of souvenirs, but at Harry's insistence, they went to the restaurant for dinner first.Because the food in the restaurant is also pre-booked and there is no need to pay for it. If he goes late, Harry will not leave any food.Although many of them are not short of money, even if they missed this meal, they can still pay for another meal at their own expense, but in this situation where they are not familiar with the food here, relying on Harry's food hobby It is the best solution for those who choose.Even though Harry eats so much, he still has nothing to do with it. Harry will never accept bad food.

The building of the restaurant of this zoo and botanical garden is also very interesting. It is surrounded by rectangular trees grown through a special cultivation method, and the walls and roof are alive.The ceiling is a net made of vines, and the translucent leaves shine through the zenith.The light red aerial roots hang down from the branches, becoming the most natural curtain.Obviously they are indoors, but in this zoo and botanical garden, people always forget this, thinking that they are really outdoors.

"It's so charming," said Professor Sprout fascinatedly stroking the tree trunks that grow into the wall. "I wish I had such a house!" The ex-Slytherins in the mansion also like it very much, but even if their house has a vast garden, it seems that such a tree house is not suitable to be placed anywhere in those well-kept gardens...

Pushing aside the light red "door curtain", the wizards saw that all the tables and chairs here were made of vines, and a piece of glass was added to the table top for the convenience of cleaning.On the ground of the hotel, there is no dirt, no cement floor, nor bricks, but a kind of lawn grass called velvet carpet grass that has the same touch as high-grade carpets, covering all the open spaces, as if the store is actually a shop. A full green carpet.

"It's actually more comfortable to step on than my Persian carpet..." Draco sighed in disbelief.

Not many people can sit at each table, so they sat in several seats. Because Hagrid and Mrs. Maxime were bigger, the waiter in the restaurant specially arranged the two of them to more spacious seats.After everyone was seated, the food came out quickly.It seems that it is not much different from the vegetables on the earth, but some foods that look like meat are fried from the fruits of certain plants.As for what these dishes were made of, the wizards didn't intend to ask Harry or the waiters in the store, as long as they were delicious, they didn't want to know what those raw materials looked like at all!

After half an hour to solve the lunch, they stayed in the rest area to take a rest.After that, they also stopped by to visit other places in the rest area.The place where they live tonight, the accommodation area of ​​the zoo and botanical garden, are all the traditional wooden tree houses built on trees.Most Muggle-born young people cheered when they learned that they could sleep in such a house overnight.This is almost every Muggle kid's dream!

There is also a big screen in the lounge area, which is far away from the accommodation area.The introduction of this zoo and botanical garden will be played in a loop here.Although it is actually on the map, everyone chose to stop and watch a more detailed introduction played here.This large-scale indoor zoo and botanical garden was not built for tourism profit at the beginning, and was only open to Peverell's own researchers at the beginning.It was gradually transformed later, allowing researchers and tourists from other planets to enter.Although tourism has been developed, the main income of the park still comes from scientific research funds, in addition to various products developed.These products can be bought in the souvenir area, as well as in the shopping malls outside, ranging from snacks, cosmetics to medicines, and even pets.Ron saw several Guguga beasts that looked like his pet's chubby ones.

Of course, there are books.Although Harry suggested that everyone buy souvenirs when they were about to leave, several of them couldn't help but bought a lot of things.Madam Pomfrey and Professor Slughorn both bought complete books on pharmacy and medicine.After much hesitation, Hermione also bought an atlas of plants and animals in the park.As a result, they had to wait for the buyer to get the item sent home before starting their afternoon trip.
