Chapter 427: Automating the Potions Class
The dueling club is a place where you can vent all your strength and really see your progress. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Not to mention, the monetary rewards that can be obtained for each match can be spent happily in Hogsmeade Village.
The students' pent-up consumption and pent-up emotions for many years are all vigorously unfolding in the dueling club.
Compared to Quidditch, compared to a play where only a few people can participate. Duel is a place where you can really fight with all your might.
Personal vendettas, college feuds. Weekday quarrels, years of grudges, everything can find a breakthrough here. The dueling club and the mutual aid club are really changing this thousand-year-old school little by little.
Among the mutual aid clubs, the most popular class is the Potions class.
It wasn't surprising that with a teacher like Snape, the students of several other houses had long hated it, except for Slytherin, who was able to barely learn something in Potions class.
Now in the mutual aid club, George and Hermione are teaching this course, and the students' enthusiasm for learning is stimulated at once.
"A serving of 3 hardness herbs needs to be boiled at a heat for five minutes. George instructed a Hufflepuff student, then pointed to a clock next to him and said, "Watch the time." โ
The clock was not like a normal clock, it did not show a scale, but a special label one by one.
Hardness, heat, concentration..... And all kinds of letters, all kinds of numbers.
What seemed completely unrelated to potions was now fixed on this particular clock.
It's an attempt by George in his spare time, considering potions automation, and it seems pretty good, at least for now.
He made some simple divisions of potions according to texture, absorption of heat, and need.
Under this division, some standardized potion recipes have a standardized process.
There is no need for students to memorize by rote or memorize harsh production techniques.
Just follow the instructions of the timer, at the specified time, at the specified heat, put the prescribed herbs in.
Potions, like Muggle-produced goods, were made in the same way that they were made on an assembly line.
The other students were stunned by this incredible scene, and no one believed that making potions was such a simple thing.
But that's all it was, no matter how much the others couldn't believe it, no matter how frustrated and angry the Slytherin people wereโit was the greatest advantage of their house, and for obvious reasons.
In everyone's hearts, the Mutual Aid Club has become a teaching place that is more knowledgeable and powerful than teachers.
George also seemed very satisfied with such a development.
The most special thing about wizards is that they have magical powers. They shouldn't be compared to ordinary people, to be compared with machines, that is a waste of talent, that is a meaningless thing.
Potions class should have changed a long time ago, and if Snape hadn't really had some ability, he would have degenerated to the same level as Hagrid in George's psyche.
His tireless class, in addition to burying his classmates' potions talents, can also teach them to make simple things.
Those simple things are completely unattractive to George. As long as he needs it, he can completely replace the basic potions that the students have mastered with the assembly line.
And now, he is even more direct to show this, he has completely changed the method of making basic potions with some small auxiliary tools.
He made no secret of his desire to let everyone know that basic potions were not needed at all, and should not be made by hand.
After all, when the two worlds began to connect, wizards didn't have the time and ability to rely on hand-crafting to meet the requirements of the whole world.
"First join Y1, now join Y2. A Gryffindor student muttered to himself, with six cauldrons in front of him alone.
Six cauldrons were brewing the same simple healing potion, and he carefully stared at the flames of the crucible, making sure that the temperature scale on the crucible was in the right place.
Then, following the instructions of the timer, he added the new herb to the six crucibles.
With these standard aids, even the most ordinary student can be like a potions master, refining multiple basic potions at the same time, which wizards could not have imagined before.
Until then, they had to calculate the time it would take to brew potions based on experience, according to their own estimates.
One more point or one less point will affect the efficacy of the medicine, and the slightest mistake will make the entire refining fail, and a large number of precious herbs will be lost.
And now, under George's influence, potions have become the most common commodity, and they are no more difficult than cooking.
George walked around his classmates' desks, watching for possible mistakes. He wasn't going to wait for the students to make a mistake before he sneered, like Snape.
This kind of cynicism means nothing to education, except to vent Snape's grudges, and it doesn't mean anything other than to make his classmates hate the course.
Real education is about timely feedback, the right standards.
"Yes, well done, the ginger root you use is relatively fresh, so the boiling time can be slightly shorter. It is also very smart to adjust the time slightly according to the changes in the herbs. George whispered praise to a Ravenclaw student for his production.
He continued, "However, if you're going to make multiple potions at the same time, I'm sure you'll be asking you to make special treatments for all of your herbs before refining them. Making sure that the herbs are in the same potency and state in advance will make it easy to craft multiple potions at the same time. โ
He turned around again and walked from the last row of tables to the front row.
At the front two tables were Hermione and Neville.
Neville's confidence had grown since he discovered his potions talent. He didn't care about Snape's cynicism at all, he had completely abandoned Snape's Potions lesson.
He transferred all the study of Potions to the Mutual Aid Society, which not only made his Potions level improve rapidly, but also the place where he took him to the Mutual Aid Society.
Neville has been bullied and ridiculed, and he has received little attention and respect. But here, with George in charge, the students' progress and feedback, George is watching, and he is happy to see the students discover their talents in the mutual aid club.
As much progress as Neville has, he has as much support. Now Neville is in the Potions class of the Mutual Aid Society, and even as a counselor, he has begun to tutor students in the lower grades, and this unprecedented attention and experience has made Neville completely different from before.
