Becoming a Wizard by Starting From the Mind Closure Technique - Chapter 30
Chapter 30: Chapter 30 “Scientific Research”_l
Translator: 549690339
Link had no idea that his accomplishments were being coveted by others.
He was fervently writing, engrossed in drafting his experimental plan.
In his previous life, Link had some exposure to scientific research and various projects.
Not much, and certainly not enough to consider himself expert, but enough to make some use of before he was introduced to the research system of the Wizarding World.
After all, in the past, he had relied on templates for writing and had never conducted a scientific research project all by himself.
What Link valued was not the plan written out, but the clarity of his own thinking during the process of writing that plan.
Regarding the Silver Star flower, Link had a few questions he needed to research and verify.
Firstly, he designed a simple experiment:
[Collect some normal Silver Star Flower Seeds and evenly distribute them into Group A, B, and C;
Group A uses an ordinary germination method without any added components (nutrient solution, potions, and magic skills);
Group B’s method of germination involves: daily use of a secondary Misty Rain Technique and a Birth Induction Technique, continued for seven days;
Group C’s germination method is: using the secondary Misty Rain Technique once every morning, twice every afternoon, with the use of the Birth Induction Technique once every two days (sandwiched between the two secondary Misty Rain Techniques), continued for six days;
Record the germination success rates of the three groups and perform data analysis and comparison.]
This experiment studies the effects of three different germination methods on the normal Silver Star Flower Seeds’ sprouting success under the same growing conditions (temperature, humidity, soil nutrients in the shed).
If the data supports it, the quality of the germination methods can be determined.
Secondly, he designed another simple experiment:
[Collect some Silver Star flower seeds whose life force is problematic, evenly distribute them into Group D, E, and F;
Group D uses an ordinary germination method without any added components (nutrient solution, potions, and magic skills);
Group E’s germination method involves: daily use of a secondary Misty Rain Technique and a Birth Induction Technique, continued for seven days;
Group F’s germination method is: using the secondary Misty Rain Technique once every morning, twice every afternoon, with the use of the Birth Induction Technique once every two days (sandwiched between the two secondary Misty Rain Techniques), continued for six days;
Record the germination success rates of the three groups and perform data analysis and comparison.]
This experiment studies the effects of three different germination methods on the problematic Silver Star Flower Seeds’ sprouting success under the same growing conditions (temperature, humidity, soil nutrients in the shed).
If the data supports it, the quality of the germination methods can be determined again.
After analyzing the data from all six groups, we can also determine the effects of the same germination method on sprouting of two different types of Silver Star Flower Seeds.
For instance, a comparison between group A and group D, group B and group E, group C and group F.
If we extend it a bit further, we can even discuss which aspects the more effective germination method has played its role in, so as to increase the success rate of sprouting.
Lastly, he designed another simple experiment:
[After the six groups have successfully germinated the seeds, each group has divided into two groups;
Al, Bl, Cl, Di, El, Fl would adopt a natural growing plan with no additives;
A2, B2, C2, D2, E2, F2 would adopt the current popular growth-boosting cultivating plan;
Record the good seed rates of each group after the seedlings grow into mature plants and drop seeds, and perform data analysis and comparison.]
The experiment can raise many issues.
For example, by comparing Al and A2, Bl and B2, Cl and C2, Dl and D2, El and E2, Fl and F2 respectively, investigate the impact of the popular growth-boosting cultivating plan on the good seed rate, asking whether it would increase or decrease as compared to natural growth, and what might be the aspects influencing it;
Or analyze the combined data of Al, Bl, and Ci; Di, El, and Fl; A2, B2, and C2;
D2, E2, and F2, to study the impact of the three different germination methods on the Silver Star flower’s growth and good seed rate under two different cultivating methods;
These three experiments, although not meticulously designed, suits the study’s purpose. After all, this is not a grand course, and conditions are limited by economic circumstances, knowledge level, and experimental conditions.
As long as he can research and verify his doubts about the Silver Star flower, Link is content.
It’s not for graduation or professional titles, right?
After revising and finishing his experimental plan, it was already quite late, and Link needed to return to his dormitory to rest.
After organizing his experimental plan, Link left the library.
On the way, Jasmine, who had been observing Link’s writing process all the time, finally couldn’t bear her curiosity after several pauses, and asked him, “Link, what were you just writing? It seems very complicated.”
“Complicated?”
Link asked back, completely forgetting the initial horror of being overwhelmed by independent variables, dependent variables, irrelevant/extra variables, and the resentment of having plans sent back for revising repeatedly.
All he knew was that his plans this time were quite arbitrary and not very rigorous.
“Is it not complicated?”
Jasmine also asked back.
Only then did Link realize and nodded his head: “It is indeed quite complicated.”
However, Link did not explain what experimental plans, the context of an experiment, experimental purposes, the significance of an experiment, experimental methods and procedures were…
The civilizations of the two worlds differed, their developments varied, and therefore their education systems and research systems were certainly different.
Link was striving to break free from the confines of his past life, so why would he trap Jasmine’s thinking in it.
He thought for a moment, then said seriously, “I just wrote it randomly, you don’t have to pay attention to it.”
Jasmine understood the implication of Link’s words.
That is, what Link just wrote might not be good, and it might not help her study.
So Jasmine didn’t dwell on it any longer.
The truth was, she had never seen such a thing and was just a little puzzled.
Thus, the two walked in silence.
Before long, Link had escorted Jasmine to her dormitory building, and then turned back towards his own dormitory.
In his study room,
After washing up, Link browsed the forum for a while, to relax his brain and keep himself from becoming too detached from academy life.
There wasn’t much happening on the forum.
But, there were a few sporadic discussions about the fight between Rivers and Erick.
After all, the scene was quite intense, and the result was intriguing.
Rivers was under arrest, Erick was crippled, and both sides ended up badly.
According to an insider, after Rivers was confined, there were problems with the incomplete meditation technique he switched to, and he now had no hope of becoming an official wizard.
Link had reasons to suspect, that this insider was Mina Havcheck.
However, this didn’t concern Link all too much.
He logged out of the forum, turned off his portable smart brain device, and started his pre-bedtime deep meditation.
As soon as his consciousness entered the Sea of Consciousness, Link noticed a difference.
Everything in the Sea of Consciousness had changed.
The once calm lake surface now had slight ripples, the structure of the library itself felt more real.
The meditation technique rune structure above the lake surface was more vivid.
All these changes derived from the tingle and enlightenment he received when the Silver Star flower sprouted..
