Chapter 116: Neville in a coma

Originally, Glitter was still immersed in studying the mystery of the explosion master, but because of one thing, he had to put this matter on hold for the time being and leave it to someone else.

The cause was Neville Longbottom, who had high hopes from Gretel, and during the experiment, something went wrong.

During this time, Glitter basically stayed with Seamus, after all, except for him, no one else was able to study Seamu's problems through magic particles for the time being.

So, the other projects have always been led by themselves, and Glitter is to provide them with the materials they need, as well as enough funds.

Neville Longbottom, who chose to induce the seed to evolve in the direction he wanted, is also the end project that Dawning has been working on recently.

For all overlapping projects, Glitter will share the research data of Dawn and Dawn with each other from time to time.

This will not only help them avoid detours and be inspired, but also promote healthy competition among them.

Everyone knows that Gretel, the leader, has always attached importance to research.

No matter who it is, no matter what the project is, as long as the research comes up with practical results, no matter how big or small, the rewards arranged are always rich.

This project, Dawning has been working on for a long time, although so far, there have been no real results, but the practical and effective data, they have saved nearly half a person.

Thanks to the convenience of magic, they don't have to wait for the results like Muggle scientists.

Whenever a new seed is cultivated, it is thrown into the nutrient solution, and it is silently spawned by magic.

Slow is a day, fast is a few hours, germination and stripping, flowering and fruiting, and you can verify your ideas in one day.

So, when Dawn shared the data with Neville, who was also in charge of the Seed Evolution, Neville's progress jumped to the top of Daybreaker.

However, Neville has eaten the Oblivion Charm since he was a child, and now he forgets what he has at hand from time to time.

As a result, his progress is not as fast as expected.

Gretel didn't care, although this kind of thing is good for the present and beneficial for the future, but it is not as urgent as imagined.

According to Gretel's calculations, if he really wants to cultivate the seed of his dreams, three or five years, or even more than ten years, is not too long.

Who would have thought that even Neville, who was suffering from the after-effects of the Forgetting Curse, would still rely on his outstanding talent in herbology to overwhelm the researcher of Dawn.

In the magical herbs, I found a plant that matched the characteristics of the seed.

Grass, a magical plant with an extremely developed root system, generally only grows on the plateau above 3,000 meters above sea level, and its living environment is cold and arid.

In order to survive, they dig their roots deep into the rocks, intercepting water and nutrients through the spreading root system.

In the wizarding world, the root system of the small-leaved grass is regarded as an essential material for the preparation of growth potions.

More appropriately, Neville studied the Muggle World Plant Classification Guide provided by Gretel and determined that the plant belonged to the grass family.

The plants he is currently studying belong to the same family, which will greatly reduce the problems he may encounter in the course of his research.

Neville cultivates seeds from the direction of high yield.

If you want to have a high yield, it is essential to absorb more nutrients and provide the plant with growth.

If the root system of the small-leaved grass can be transferred to the crop seeds, it can not only solve the problem of nutrients, but also solve the problem of lodging of crops.

Researchers at Sugon also approached from the direction of high yield, considering that the plant can produce more fruit ears, more fruits, and naturally high yield.

This kind of research is not problematic, but there is a big problem that cannot be avoided, because when it comes to farming, it is impossible for farmers to provide crops with as much nutrients as in the laboratory.

In other words, the more crops are fed, the more grain they will bear.

For this reason, for such a period of time, they have been studying how to reduce nutrient consumption, but they have no clue.

Their thoughts triggered Neville's flash of inspiration.

Since there is no way to reduce the consumption of nutrients, is it possible to increase the utilization rate of nutrients?

The less there is waste, the more it will be used.

After that, Neville set his sights on the magical plants he was most interested in.

The researchers at the Dawning Research Institute have not considered magical plants.

It's just that they tried many times, and finally found that the ordinary plants in the Muggle world are really a little weak compared to the magical plants in the wizarding world.

Many times, they watched as the seeds they had cultivated were consumed by the magical properties of the magical plants as they grew.

In the end, it was not a high-yielding and disease-resistant crop, and even the magical properties of the original magical plants had become unstable.

Over time, they put this idea behind them and concentrated on using magic to hybridize and induce the seeds in order to breed the perfect crop.

Neville has also seen multiple failures in their research record.

But unlike the disappointed Dawn researchers, Neville saw the possibility of success in their failures.

The magical properties of magical plants are ingrained and difficult to change by external forces.

However, mixing with ordinary Muggle crops can destroy this trait, which means that they have already begun to fuse.

In addition, for the time being, he has no other ideas, even if he follows the Dawning Research Institute to study multi-fruit to increase yield.

It is not always possible to catch up with the progress of others, after all, when Glitter provides research records to both parties, it is done on a weekly basis.

In order to avoid duplicating work with the research of the Dawn, Neville resolutely carried the properties of the magical plant transformation on his shoulders.

He always had a feeling that he might not be on the wrong side of the sword, and that the first person to submit the results would be himself.

Also, on the day of dawn recruitment, what Gretel told him, he could help himself save his parents.

As Harry said during the night talk, Glitter is able to operate on people's souls.

He was so eager to see his parents return to normal.

If it were possible, he would have liked to chat and eat with his parents at home, instead of being in St. Mungo, watching them go crazy and crazy from a distance, through the glass.

Perhaps, the sooner the results are made, the sooner I can ask Gretel to go to St. Mungo's to cure my parents.

Relying on this belief, Neville has spent so many days squeezing his sleep and spare time to devote all his energy to cultivating good seeds.

For some reason, the more immersed he was in the study of plants, the more Neville felt that he could read plants.

The leaves gently swaying in the breeze and dew are they rejoicing, and the branches and leaves are hanging low, which is their sorrow for the fallen leaves......

Neville didn't know if it was a hallucination, but he didn't have the energy to care about anything like that.

Anyway, it's not a bad thing to be able to understand plants and understand plants, and even better, it's more conducive to the research he's doing.

As with the recorded research on Dawn's side, none of the seeds he cultivated grew according to his own ideas.

Either withered halfway, was devoured by magical properties, or turned out to be inedible at all.

Until, Luna, the girl who didn't seem to care about anything, wandered around the various research rooms at dawn every day, came to his side.

"They're messed up." Luna is always like this, saying things that are inexplicable and no one can understand.

Neville didn't understand at first, until he saw Luna gently lift the completely drooping plant, which he had judged a failure.

When she lifted it up, she moved very gently, as if she was taking care of a child.

She whispered to it and sang to it.

After getting Neville's permission, he jumped with cheerful steps and ran out with the plant.

……

After another herb class, Neville was on a mudflat by the Black Lagoon and saw Luna crouching there.

A sudden and intense curiosity drove him closer there.

The lodging plant, which he judged to be dead, is still alive and strong, even though it is still lodging.

The roots are rooted in the mudflats, and the stems and leaves lie on the grass next to them, crawling forward.

This time he heard what Luna meant by messing up.

The plant that he had cultivated with his own hands shouted for fruiting, germination, and flowering, as if they didn't know what time it was.

The 'consciousness' of the magical plant itself is entangled with the 'consciousness' of the crop seed, and they can't figure out what their mission is.

All they left behind was the plant, whether it was a magical plant or a Muggle plant, with the common consciousness, "Grow, grow to the end of its life." ”

Neville returned to his own lab, one that specialized in the evolution of seeds.

The records of his failed research here add up to almost a thousand.

In order to ensure that the results are produced as soon as possible, he usually casts a wide net, at least three or five at the same time, and at most from morning to night, hundreds of copies are more than enough.

This time he didn't rush into action, and he no longer thought about asking Gretel to help him treat his parents.

It was as if he had come into contact with the artifact herb class for the first time, and he honestly took out all the books he had read, and considered them bit by bit, word by word.

After reading herbalism, he began to look at Muggle materials, and when he encountered unclear questions, he would contact Penelope, who was far away at the Dawning headquarters, and ask her to help collect scientific literature about the Muggle world.

Gretel told them that they could contact Dawn when they needed help.

However, because both sides are parallel organizations that operate independently, there is a need to pay for asking for Dawning's help.

But there is no need for them to worry, as the organizer and biggest financier of Dawn, the resources they spend are not as small as a drop in the bucket on Gretel.

Once everything was settled and everything he needed was ready, Neville was on his hands again.

According to records from the Muggle world, the crops he studied belonged to the Poaceae family.

Following this trait, he set his sights on a series of magical plants led by the microphylla grass.

This cultivation was much easier than his previous aimless trials.

Let's not talk about the results, just talk about the survival rate of these plants, which is much better than before.

Even if he failed, he was never upset, and simply planted them in pots one by one and filled his laboratory.

I don't know what day it was, but many of the plants in the lab were blooming, and Neville listened to them bloom and shout happily as they bloomed.

Manually cross-pollinated and recorded, Neville followed the process of scientific research in the Muggle world, step by step.

On the day the seeds appeared, Neville soaked them in a nutrient solution as usual, and magic spawned.

After that, Neville 'heard' the 'shout' that resounded almost throughout the laboratory, "More more, more more, not enough to eat~"

The slender plants are depressed by the plump ears of the stems, and the blue nutrient solution has become clear and transparent.

Looking at the plants again, it is clear that they still want to continue growing, but the active ingredients in the nutrient solution have been absorbed by them.

——

When Glitter heard the news and came to the lab, he saw Neville, who had just fallen into a coma.

After hearing what the people in the adjacent lab were saying, Glitter turned on the Silver Pupil Observation and observed Neville as he fell to the ground.

The crops he had cultivated with his own hands spewed magic particles at Neville on each of them.

In front of Neville, a bridge was built that only Glitter could see.

It's not so much a bridge as a funnel.

At the other end of the funnel, the magic particles that were usually tired of floating in the air seemed to be stimulated by something, and they frantically drilled into the mouth of the funnel, and the other end was constantly 'watering' at Neville.

"Don't worry, it's fine."

In the worried eyes of everyone, Glitter leaned in.

He only knew that good things would happen when he made a result, but he didn't know that Neville would cause such a big sensation.

Glitter called the wave of this magic particle a gift of world consciousness, or a gift.

After all, Dawn had been studying for so long, and every time he produced results, he could observe this kind of thing happening.

All research that has been done for the benefit of humanity will receive this gift.

However, compared to Neville, that bit of movement is a bit inadequate.

Now it seems that Neville should have made a system of results that can be passed on.

Food, clothing, shelter and transportation, from ancient times to the present, the food surrounding human beings may be solved in the hands of Neville.

Come to think of it, it really should be such a big move.

Sometimes I think that if such a big contribution is just like a few drops of rain in the desert.

Who still wants to promote social progress.

After thinking about it, Glitter stepped forward to help him out, otherwise, he felt that Neville might not be able to wake up all day today.
