Chapter 343 Getting on the Right Track (Part 3)
As we all know, the road to experimentation is tortuous.
After hundreds of production safety accidents such as explosions and collapses, curses and injuries, and mass poisoning, almost all researchers' performance bonuses have been deducted.
But Augustus and Crocker spoke boldly and said that this was just a little test on the road to realizing their ideals - it didn't matter if the bonus was deducted, they still had attendance bonuses, a lot of room for salary reductions, and the benefit of free medical insurance at St. Mungo's.
Jian Yu felt that his brain had stopped thinking.
It was as if she asked them to pay for work and they would happily hand over the gold galleons.
"Accidents happen everywhere...If this continues, I'm really afraid that one day everyone here will be sent to heaven to see Merlin...or to Azkaban."
In response to her complaints, Dumbledore, who came to inspect and provide technical guidance and reinforce the ceiling and floor again, flipped through the safety accident record book with a relieved and empathetic expression.
"Raising a child... Only a researcher can understand the heart of a parent... The headmaster." He muttered softly, "Since we are bombing this place, we can't bomb the school... St. Mungo's and the Ministry of Magic..."
When the words came to his lips, he changed the subject and said earnestly:
"They are all going to pay to work, Yu, just let them go!"
Jian Yu simply couldn't believe that these words came from the mouth of the steady Dumbledore, and Snape, who had to come to clean up the construction debris every day and cast various silencing spells and prepare antidotes for researchers who were poisoned for various reasons, wanted to give his boss a hanging bell.
"At least you two have the self-awareness to not ask the troll twins to cause trouble." Snape comforted himself coldly, "Otherwise, if you put these five people together, this house will collapse like a nest of moles."
Before he could finish his words, the floor he was standing on made a creaking sound and several cracks appeared.
Snape frowned, and his expression seemed to crack along with the floor.
Jian Yu's heart also tightened and his eyes suddenly widened.
Before she could even say "be careful", the sound of stones and cement breaking could be heard!
The next second, the ground sank, and a big hole appeared directly from the first floor to the basement!
Fortunately, the three players standing here were all experienced and quick-witted. They started with a catapulting movement and easily moved away.
"Jade—surprise!"
Two identical heads with smiling faces and wearing anti-curse helmets poked out from the big hole!
But it only took 0.01 seconds for both of them to stop laughing.
With stiff faces, they raised their right hands with five fingers spread out to say hi to the Potions Professor whose frown could kill a fly and the headmaster whose smile revealed a nuclear-like kindness, and pushed and shoved their heads back below the horizon a second before Snape suddenly jumped up and delivered a sharp attack.
A hand stretched out from the hole again, and tremblingly grasped the wand and waved it vigorously. The voice revealed twelve points of despair and tension, and it sounded like the brain had been frightened to the point of shutting down:
"Repair...repair what...George? No, restore...restore pro max...!"
The bricks and pebbles scattered on the ground jumped up and moved reluctantly, filling the big hole in the wrong order, and it seemed that it would collapse again in the next second.
"It's back to normal! Fred!"
Another arm stretched out, and with the same trembling hand, it grasped the wand, corrected his brother's mistake, and the bricks, stones and gravel returned to their correct positions, and the big hole was finally filled.
This curse, which was far from the word "excellent", made their former professors and principal look even uglier.
"Uh... this situation... let me explain..." Facing Snape's glare, Jian Yu scratched his head awkwardly, "I just asked Fred and George to come up with some user suggestions - we previously made decoy bombs as joke products, and we plan to merge... to make magic grenades..."
For some reason, she suddenly felt that Snape's understanding of the twins had reached the pinnacle.
Only then can one's words come true and what he says come true.
"Very good advice, a wise choice. Perhaps Miss Jane felt that the bombing of this house was not flat enough, so she chose to hang out with the Weasley twin trolls."
Jian Yu's answer made Snape's anger on the verge of exploding. He turned around and looked at Headmaster Dumbledore:
"You won't agree, will you? The two Weasleys? If I were you, I wouldn't let them set foot in my house - I wouldn't even let a hair of theirs touch my Advanced Potions class - two fools who even had the guts to ask me how to improve the love potion -"
Dumbledore burst into a violent coughing fit, and with quick eyes and hands, he pressed Jian Yu's ear.
Jian Yu felt that his strength had never been so great. For a moment, she twisted her body but was unable to avoid the hand that was covering her ears tightly.
She could hardly hear the following words clearly—
I just heard words like "She's only two years older than me," "But that's also a minor and an adult," "You have to send her back to school," and "Weasleys and dogs are not allowed in."
Is there anything that is inconvenient for her to hear?
Jian Yu blinked in confusion.
…
In short, although the road is indeed a bit bumpy, the future is indeed bright.
With the joint efforts of all, the functions of the curse-proof hat and curse-proof clothing have become more diverse and complete:
Based on the magic runes provided by Jian Yu, she and Crocker combined the original powerful iron armor spell and the counter-spells and directional spells of some evil spells. After the researchers optimized and improved the stability of the spells many times, this set of equipment was improved into a set of anti-armor.
Although some poisonous curses aimed at the wizard's mind will still penetrate the defense, the wearer can withstand most physical and chemical impacts until the magic power in the clothes is exhausted.
After the Weasley twins kindly provided their father with a cloaking device that was secretly installed on the car and often failed, new cloaking functions are being developed by Crocker's team, striving to replace the time-consuming and expensive invisibility cloaks made from the hair of invisible beasts.
Augustus attached various spells to his clothes to protect his internal organs. He even got inspiration from the Weasleys' car and tried to add airbags containing distilled water mist to his anti-spell clothing.
With the work of several Unspeakables in charge of production day and night, the first batch of curse-proof hats and curse-proof vests were delivered to the Ministry of Magic.
The tense atmosphere in the laboratory that was originally caused by working overtime finally eased.
At the monthly summary meeting, Jian Yu had just finished the monthly review and looked forward to the future:
“…The above are the achievements and shortcomings of our research…Be cautious and keep moving forward…Safety awareness is not in place…Strive to reduce the frequency of accidents…”
As soon as he finished speaking, Augustus happily started to speak:
"The mission is over, we have won the first stage! This place is amazing! It's a holy place for research! A paradise for wizard and Muggle theory! Later I will tie up Hippocrates and do research on him, so that he can see the good results his good students have achieved - mmmmmmm -"
Jian Yu was so scared that she covered his mouth with her hand.
Although buy one get one free is a good deal...
But opening champagne halfway is the worst thing to do!
Sure enough, before Augustus could be happy for a few minutes—
Dumbledore's silver-white phoenix Patronus flew into the window and opened its beak:
"Jade, there's an attack on St. Mungo's Hospital - tell Mr. Pye to stay here and not go out."
