Alchemy professor at Hogwarts

Chapter 81 Forbidden Forest
After spending three days polishing the details of the structural drawings of "English Glitter", Hardy officially started the production of alchemy products on Wednesday afternoon.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, this time, he chose the Slytherin's secret room as the place to perform the alchemy.

It has to be said that the Chamber of Secrets built by Salazar Slytherin is far stronger than most of the rooms in Hogwarts.

Even if this place is changed to an unlimited duel place among wizards, there is no problem.

Hardy stomped his feet, and the thick dark gray brick made a dull sound of "bang bang bang".

He held the wand, and lightly cast "slumped" towards his feet, and a dark red beam of light burst out.

The curse that was originally enough to break ordinary stone slabs only left some shallow scratches on the floor tiles at this moment, "a brick body that is hard enough."

His eyes flickered, and Hardy commented objectively, "No wonder Slytherin chose to hide that huge portkey under here."

Thinking of the huge door keys under these floor tiles, Hardy couldn't help pursing his lips.

As one of Hogwarts' most controversial founders, it's hard to imagine what Salazar Slytherin's secret purpose in building the Portkey was.

If Harry hadn't accidentally pierced the floor tiles with the Gryffindor sword at the beginning, no one would have known about the existence of the Portkey in hundreds of years.

Walking in the empty secret room, Hardy calmed down his mind.

10 minute later.

He twirled his magic wand, and took out all the materials needed to make "English Glitter" from the suitcase he was carrying.

With a "stab", the tip of Hardy's staff began to shoot out an arc-like flash.

Referring to the huge formation formed on the design drawing, Hardy paced and began to patiently carve one chain after another on the floor tiles of the secret room.

The process of making "English Glitter" is not much more complicated than the magic cup.

In addition, this is an item developed by Hardy, so it is more handy to operate in practice.

The process of drawing the ring lasted for two full hours.

When a total of one hundred and three chains are firmly interlocked, they together form a harmonious and complete circle.

As Hardy tapped the ground with his wand, the entire formation began to emit a faint fluorescence.

In the sound of "buzzing rumbling", the fluorescent light on the refining array became more and more intense, like a full moon, illuminating the entire secret room.

Seeing that the Liancheng Array had begun to operate normally, Hardy walked up a few steps and officially started the production process of "English Flash".

A series of flying mantras shuttled in mid-air, and various materials fell into the fiery refining formation one by one.

They melt, deform, stretch, combine, and then cool to form, in turn, the individual firearm parts of the English Flash.

After everything was finished, Hardy turned the wand without stopping, causing the scales of the basilisk to fly into the formation formation.

In the firearms in the Muggle world, the general bullet is composed of four parts: projectile, cartridge, propellant, and cap.

The projectile is used to penetrate the target by fast flight, and the cartridge is used to connect the projectile and protect the propellant and seal the gunpowder gas.

The propellant is to give the projectile a higher muzzle velocity by burning, and the cap is used to fire.

When firing, the firing pin activates the cap (primer), which burns rapidly to ignite the propellant in the cartridge (casing), causing the propellant to ignite instantaneously.

Simultaneously high temperature and pressure are generated to force the projectile (warhead) out of the cartridge.

At this time, the projectile is pushed forward by the high pressure generated by the propellant, squeezed by the rifling, rotated, and finally pushed out of the chamber.

But this only refers to ordinary bullets. Other special bullets, inspection bullets, and auxiliary bullets are different, and the amount of ingredients will also vary depending on the bullet.

The bullet used in the "English Flash" uses the same pointed tip as the rifle bullet, and can reach a high speed of 500 meters per second after being fired.

At the same time, because of the ring refining effect on the bullet, and the out-of-control reaction of the compound decoction and the magic potion of the basilisk scale, the bullet's spell penetration has been greatly improved.

"Isn't this thing better than a magic wand?" Seeing that the first bullet was about to take shape, Hardy murmured to himself.

During the process of making bullets, Hardy maintained a speed of about ten bullets per hour.

It takes an average of 6 minutes to make a bullet with sufficient power.

With the proficiency of the technique, his production efficiency has improved a lot. In one afternoon, he produced forty bullets.

After going to the cafeteria for dinner, Hardy continued to return to the secret room to make the remaining bullets.

By noon the next day, he already had two hundred bullets in his hand.

With a "click", Hardy held the "English Flash", causing the wheel to pop out.

He put the bullets into the rotating wheel one by one, and then pushed them back to the gun body with all his strength. When he moved it with his palm, there was a clear and crisp sound of "cracking".

"I have to find a place to try its power, recoil and stability." Hardy held the "English Flash" and aimed for a while.

In order to be able to adapt to the use of firearms in advance, Hardy went to the Muggle world several times on the weekends of last semester, and got a lot of revolver practice.

After all, he has not yet had the luxury of using the "English Flash" for shooting practice.

Satisfied with the grip of the revolver in his hand, Hardy inserted it into the inside of the wizard's robe, and immediately left the Slytherin chamber.

Walking in the corridor, Hardy was thinking about the location of the gun test, and many young wizards who had just finished lunch were preparing to return to their dormitories to rest.

"Professor, professor!" Not far away, Hermione ran over panting, waving the journal in her hand excitedly.

"I succeeded, Professor!" She waved the things in her hands excitedly, "My thesis has been published in the alchemy publication "Alchemy Weekend."

Hardy took the publication handed over by the other party, and sure enough, on the catalog page, he saw the thesis that Hermione had handed over to him for review.

Although "Alchemy Weekend" is not as popular as the "Daily Prophet" in the British wizarding world, it is extremely well-known among wizards who are keen on alchemy.

Many of the first journal papers published by Wizard Life were accepted by "Alchemy Weekend".

"Well done, Miss Granger, twenty points from Gryffindor!"

Not far away, Ron and Harry, who followed after hearing this, immediately clapped each other excitedly, "We're so proud of you, Hermione."

Hermione pursed her lips with a smile. She raised her head and looked at Hardy excitedly.

"Professor Ollivander, this is inseparable from your guidance, and they even sent fifteen Galleons for the manuscript fee."

Hardy shook his head, "I just did what I should do as a professor of alchemy."

"The key to being able to publish your own paper on "Alchemy Weekend" still depends on your own efforts, Miss Granger."

After saying goodbye to the three cubs, Hardy walked through the corridor and came to the courtyard. From his angle, he just saw a hazy shadow in the distance.

"Forbidden Forest?" Hardy looked into the distance, and then smiled knowingly, "It seems that I know where to test the gun..."

The Forbidden Forest, also commonly known as the Dark Forest, is located on the edge of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry grounds.

As its name suggests, Hogwarts students are generally not allowed into the Forbidden Forest.

However, in special circumstances such as confinement or protection of magical creatures, little wizards can be temporarily allowed to walk into it for a first glimpse.

However, because there are many dangerous magical animals in the Forbidden Forest, most young wizards are not interested in them even if there are no school rules to prohibit them.

Except for a small number of trouble-making guys.
