Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

Chapter 113 Magic Lamp Idea Selection

Who stipulates that lights must use combustion or electricity?

Who stipulates that light must be accompanied by heat?

Nature clearly provides us with the best example!

Bioluminescence!

Fireflies clearly tell us that living things can also provide light!

The luminous jellyfish clearly tells us that water is not a problem!

Sainz is considering developing a cold light source that is less dangerous and will not cause a fire even if it is thrown on ordinary combustible materials.

It would be even better if this substance could multiply on its own.

That is to say, he planned to develop a substance that could be produced either by animals or plants in order to get rid of the dilemma that ordinary alchemical items could not be popularized.

When the time comes, we can make a trigger device by simply applying the substance on the surface, or by letting it drip slowly and automatically from above like an hourglass, and it will be activated.

Alternatively, another excitation method may be used.

It's like wizards grabbing a handful of Floo powder and throwing it out!

By then, our luminous powder will become an indispensable necessity for thousands of households. In this way, the magic world will also have an industry.

Hehe, I feel a little excited just thinking about it!

So should we choose animals, plants, or luminous fungi?

Choose plants, of course!

Although luminous animals are more common, plants are more in line with market positioning if you want to cultivate them on a large scale.

In fact, there are many luminous plants in nature, the most famous of which is the African luminary tree!

There are also luminous trees distributed in North America and the Eastern countries!

There is also a tree in America called candle walnut by the locals, because its fruit is not only edible, but also can be used for lighting. When burning, it is smokeless and odorless, and the brightness is equivalent to that of a candle, hence the name.

In fact, several of the above plants are magical plants, but they are not taken seriously by the Ministry of Magic because they will not actively attack a wizard or Muggle like the Devil's Teng and the Christmas Cactus.

So that Muggles can also see the magic of these plants.

Especially the African Illuminating Tree!

You can tell its brightness from its name. It looks normal during the day, but at night, it emits bright fluorescence from the trunk to the branches, illuminating the surrounding area of ​​the tree.

Its brightness is enough for people to read books and newspapers under the tree, or even thread a needle and do fine needlework.

Isn’t this a perfect choice?

Muggle scientists have studied this and believe that the bark contains a large amount of phosphorus, which releases fluorescence through an oxidation reaction when it comes into contact with oxygen.

After Sainz had the idea of ​​developing the magic lamp, he specifically looked for information and did some research.

Are the Muggle scientists right?

Correct!

But it is not comprehensive.

I don’t know if they noticed a problem, or if they noticed it but couldn’t explain it so they deliberately left it vague.

That is, why do illuminated trees only glow at night?

It's impossible that the oxygen in the air only comes into contact with the bark at night?

Compared to this, wouldn't it be more acceptable for the lighting tree to release phosphorus into the bark only at night?

But is a tree so intelligent?

Put it away during the day and let it out at night?

unless?

Unless the tree is just that smart!

It's just magical!

Some people may say that it does not glow during the day because the light outside is too strong during the day, which covers up the fluorescence.

Please, which scientist would not think of such a simple truth? It has been verified long ago. Even if the lower half of it is covered with a black curtain, it will still not emit light.

Muggle scientists can't figure out what's going on and can only helplessly believe that there are many unknowns in nature that cannot be explained by current science.

If there was a wizard next to them when they were pulling their hair to study it, he would definitely tell them that there must be a reason why the Illuminating Tree is called the "Magic Tree".

In fact, it is a magical tree and a magical creature!

If it were other magical plants, it might not be easy to get them with Saiens's current limited network of contacts, but the illuminating tree was not one of them, because it was a tree species that Muggles also had!

It is not easy to get it from the wizarding world, but it is easier to get some from the Muggle world.

Sainz left home and found a Muggle town to make a phone call.

Living in Hogsmeade also has this disadvantage. The pure wizarding village did solve his problem of casting spells outside the school, but if he wanted to contact people in the Muggle world, he had to go out specially every time.

In this respect, they are not as good as the Weasleys. They live very close to the Muggle village, so it is easier for them to make a phone call.

"Hello, Mr. Autumn!" The flattering voice of Oliver Suaso from the law firm came over the phone.

"Did you know that there is a kind of lighting tree in Africa?"

"Well... I'm sorry... I'm not sure, but don't worry, I'll check it out right away. I have several friends who have business dealings with Africa."

"Okay, I'll give you a day to find out. I'll call you tomorrow!"

The next day, Oliver Suazo said to Sainz, "Mr. Autumn, I have learned about it through my friend, and I have to say that I never knew there were glowing trees before, they are so beautiful!

Sir, you are really well-informed!"

"Stop flattering me. Now that you know this, I need you to get me a few plants. They must be alive. Is that a problem?"

"When I saw the photos my friend sent me yesterday, I wondered if you wanted to transplant a few for ornamental purposes, because they are indeed very beautiful.

If they are transplanted into your garden, they will definitely add some color to your villa. Given your status, I think they will be very happy if they know that they have caught your eye."

"I told you, stop flattering me and just tell me if you can do it!"

"Of course! But..."

"Just what? Are there other conditions on the African side?"

"Not really. It's just that I have something to say. Please don't be offended, sir. I asked around and I haven't heard of this kind of tree anywhere else. It seems... it seems that they can't survive anywhere else except that damn place, so..."

"Oh...are you afraid that I will cause trouble to you when the tree dies?"

"Absolutely not! Absolutely not!

I'm just worried that if they don't add color to you, it will ruin your good mood." Sainz could imagine the hypocritical smile on the face on the other end of the phone.

“That’s none of your business. As long as the trees are alive when they come back, you don’t need to worry about what happens afterwards. Whether they survive or not is none of your business.

It just so happened that it was indeed worrying to let someone else do the transportation, so he simply spent 10 million from the music company to register an import and export company to handle this matter.

When I am not in use, the company can do some import and export trade.

If I let you be the general manager, I wonder if you can do it?"

"At your service, boss!"

"Okay, I'll wait for your news. I want to see my lighting tree appear on the sea near Dundee within a month and a half. Is there a problem?"

“I promise you won’t be disappointed!”

………………

Okay, the long-term plan has been laid out!

Now let’s look at the short-term goal: use the summer vacation to get electricity in my home!
