Chapter 493: Analysis of the Elixir
Ryan pulls Hermione out of the common room door and finds that many of her classmates are struggling with their homework. In a completely different way from Ron's previous impression of the kind of free use between classes, with the exception of a few students who may have a mine at home and only choose one or two advanced courses, the vast majority of students need to work hard to complete the after-school academic tasks assigned by the teacher.
These academic tasks were a little easier than last year's exam preparations, and Ryan found that everyone he knew was struggling to write.
"Ryan, Hermione, what are you going to do?" Ron, who had boiled a pot of asphalt in Potions class, was having a headache with today's potions homework, only to find that the outside help he could call for help was moving away from him. As he looked up to ask his own question, Harry looked up at them with the same hopeful eyes.
"We need to look at a very important issue. Hermione said, "You know that Ryan got access to the school's alchemy lab from Professor Dumbledore this year, so he could go there and work on some problems. I'm his research assistant, because some research projects need help. β
"Oh, it looks like all the time before dinner is going to be spent on homework, and I thought I could practice Quidditch. Ron said in frustration, and Harry made a worried face.
"You need to learn to educate yourself and not always look to others. Otherwise, it will be difficult to get the desired score in future exams. Hermione raised an eyebrow and raised her tone before pulling Ryan out of the common room with Harry's eager eyes.
Following the familiar road, he came to the door of the alchemy laboratory on the fifth floor, opened the door and entered, and as soon as the door was closed, Hermione turned around and looked at Ryan excitedly: "I really can't believe that just some ordinary raw materials can change people's fate by mixing potions according to ordinary methods." The operation of the rules of the world was not touched at all during the whole production process, but the final product can hook some of the rules of the world, which is simply incredible. β
"yes, that's why we're here now. Ryan said as he took out the elixir from his bosom and put it on the alchemy table along with the bottle, and then asked Xiaoqing to take out all the alchemy equipment that he had put in the Wanjie grocery store before.
Many of these alchemy equipment were made by Ryan under the guidance of Teacher Luo Zhen using precious materials collected from multiple worlds. If you release magic and observe, you can find that this batch of alchemy equipment is not low-level alchemy products. With these special alchemy equipment in place, Ryan began to study magic.
He nodded to Hermione, who waved his hands knowingly to release a black shadow. The shadows soon spread over the entire alchemy lab, with a faint aura of death in between. This shadow with the power of rules is used to isolate the entire laboratory from the outside world, which can prevent the magic splash from hurting other people after an accident inside, and naturally it can also isolate the snooping eyes of people outside. The most important thing is that the medicine that can make people lucky is likely to involve rules, and it is very important to isolate from external influences at this time.
After the shadow with the aura of death completely sealed off the laboratory, Ryan took out a handful of fluorite balls the size of pinballs and placed them on the energy nodes of the alchemy array, and then stroked them one by one with his hands. Each fluorite ball that was touched emitted a faint blue light, illuminating the entire laboratory in shadow.
"Here we go. Ryan said as he directed the elixir in the bottle to float on the alchemy array in the middle of the pile of instruments, and then quickly activated those alchemy instruments in turn.
The instrument began to spin, glowing, and trembling with a buzzing sound. A large number of parts were in motion, and colorful lights and runes encased the small stall of elixir in the middle. Soon, a silver mirror that was placed in front of Ryan flowed through a large amount of data, and the first round of analysis had already come out.
"It's too fast. Ryan muttered to himself, then looked at the analyzed data. The data shows that this thing is a special neurodepressant, which can suppress people's emotions to the greatest extent, so that people can face everything they encounter in the most calm state. Similar to the mechanical psychic magic that Ryan learned from Luo Zhen.
"It'sβthe elixir shouldn't be that simple, right?" said Hermione, looking at the data that had been analyzed. "If it were that simple, the elixir wouldn't have become an extremely precious potion. β
"Of course not. Ryan said, "I'm just analyzing the basic effects of these potions, and I don't have to deal with the rules." However, it must be admitted that this base agent is very helpful in achieving the desired goals. β
Looking at Hermione's inquisitive eyes, Ryan paused and explained, "The elixir is believed to be effective when drunk in small quantities, but if taken in excess, it can cause vertigo, recklessness, and dangerous arrogance, and too much will be very toxic. At the same time, he can't make people defeat powerful magic, but can only make people succeed in doing things within their own capabilities. In other words, this potion allows you to maximize your abilities, but you can't do anything beyond your abilities. What does this mean?"
Ryan habitually sold a pass, but Hermione, who was hung up on the appetite, slapped her hand directly on the arm. "Hurry up. β
"Alright, alright, I'll continue. Ryan rubbed his arm and said, "This shows that the elixir has the ability to reduce the user's ability to regulate emotions, allowing the user to enter a state where they are not controlled by their emotions and can act accurately in extreme situations." β
"So this thing actually affects the brain?" Hermione squinted at the golden liquid floating in midair.
"Of course, didn't the professor say that an overdose can lead to vertigo, recklessness, and dangerous hubris, and too much of a dose can be very toxic. Ryan shrugged. "As far as I know, there is a similar approach in the world of ordinary people. It is called transcranial magnetic stimulation, which is the treatment of mental illness in the past two years. It uses magnetic signals to stimulate different neural regions of the brain through the skull without attenuation, and achieves different effects on the brain through different frequencies. β
According to the user's feedback, after being stimulated to certain parts of the brain, the psychological depression begins to mysteriously disappear, the subjective morality begins to waver, and an absolute self-confidence will dominate all his actions, in this case he will complete the task at hand with great efficiency, and the success rate of doing the same thing is much higher than usual. You don't think it's like what Professor Slughorn described after drinking the Elixir, except that the potion is more effective and perfect. β
"Don't tell me that the elixir is a psychotropic drug that affects the brain. Hermione looked a little decadent, she couldn't believe how simple this legendary drug was.
"Of course not. Ryan said as he turned the red ball of light in his mind with all his might, and then used countless runes to form an alchemy realm and envelop the liquid. After the entire field was closed, an intricate pattern of the same color appeared on the golden liquid.
"This is the power that belongs to a part of the rules of fate. Ryan carefully examined the pattern and said, "Although there is only one point in the contact rules of the potion, if you use the potion itself, the lucky effect will be magnified to the extreme. It's no wonder that this potion is known as the Luck Potion. β
"However, the success rate of the Elixir is unlikely to be too high, because the rules for obtaining luck in the last step are random. In other words, the elixir that has been screened out by luck in the last step is the elixir of blessing. β
"In the production process, there are not many semi-finished drugs that can successfully end half a year of boiling, and in the end, they have to go through the screening of fate. It can be said that every successful potion is a miracle, and the elixir born from this miracle can also bring miraculous effects. β
From the analysis of the elixir, Ryan further understood the rules of change he mastered by analyzing the rules related to fate, and also knew that in the world he was in now, he could use low-level power to leverage high-level power in some cases. It also opened a new door for him to study and master magic.
And while isolating from and out of the lab, Hermione also used the shadow barrier to block out techniques that could have an impact. This brought her one step closer to mastering the fusion of shadow magic and death rules than before, and it was also a gain.
After finishing their research, they packed everything and walked out of the alchemy lab's door. It happened to be dinner time, so the two of them went downstairs to dinner.
