After Amelia·Bones took office, he fully took over Ministry of Magic.

She has enough power to push through any bill, but she doesn't rush it.

She knows very well that it is easy to destroy the old order, but it takes a lot of patience to rebuild a new one.

Therefore, she adopted the safest method - dismantling the old laws at a gentle speed and rebuilding the foundation of Wizarding World step by step.

She understands that as long as she does not take the initiative to abdicate, this country will be the testing ground for her and her nephew Ian·Alvin·Bones.

--

Time has entered the Christmas holiday of 1992.

The snowy night in Hogwarts was quiet and peaceful, while Ian did little research during the entire semester.

He spent a lot of time studying "genetics" and "magic genetics" to lay the theoretical foundation for the research on the next First Tier segment.

The only result was to successfully analyze the structure of Basilisk and create a Basilisk of its own in the laboratory.

As for the improvement of Werewolf's medicine, it was completed by Severus·Snape and Damocles·Belby.

The latter is the original inventor of "Wolfsbane Potion".

In the early morning of the first day of vacation, Ian received a letter.

The letter paper is white and the sealing wax is engraved with the imprint Alchemy.

His eyes brightened slightly, and he immediately grabbed Floo Powder and stepped into the green flames.

The flames dissipated and he came to an ancient mansion in France.

In front of the fireplace, a lady with stunning appearance and elegant manners was smiling.

Ian was startled and almost blurted out teasing words, but quickly restrained himself.

"I have to say, Mrs. Perenelle is even more beautiful than I imagined."

The lady smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment. But unfortunately, I already have a wife - and I am hundreds of years older than you."

"What a pity." Ian spread his hands with a look of regret on his face.

He turned around and saw a middle-aged man with an elegant face waiting.

"I think I understand why you were able to marry such a beautiful wife back then."

Ian smiled and stretched out his hand, "You must have been a romantic figure when you were young, Mr. Nicolas Flamel."

"Just call me Nico."

This great Alchemy master is still not used to regaining his youthful appearance--

If it weren't for the sake of matching his wife, he would rather continue to look gray-haired.

After greetings, the three of them entered the laboratory.

The air is filled with fluctuations of magic power.

On the stone platform in the center, there is a huge stone glowing with green light.

Ian's breathing was slightly rapid.

He stepped forward, raised his wand and touched it lightly, instantly understanding the energy flowing in the stone.

"Sure enough..."

He raised his head, his eyes flashing with uncontrollable excitement.

"This is Philosopher's Stone made with emotion as the core, not a prototype stone at the cost of soul."

"The blueprint you gave is indeed of great reference value."

Nico responded with a smile, "But it's not as simple as you think."

"Don't be modest." Ian shook his head, "This achievement will rewrite the course of magical civilization - and your names must be on the signature."

Nico was silent for a moment, then looked at the stone again, a rare fire burning in his eyes.

"What's the result?" Ian asked.

"As you might expect, this stone cannot produce 'Elixir of Life', but it can still extend life.

Although it is far inferior to the True Magic stone, it is enough to allow humans to cross the boundary between life and death."

"Then call it--Lesser Philosopher's Stone." Ian said.

"Indeed, it is completely different from the True Magic stone." Nico nodded.

"Yes." Ian thought thoughtfully, "I once thought that the True Magic stone was just a high-purity magic crystal condensed by the soul.

But now I understand that the union of soul and magic leads to a deeper transformation - a miracle that we do not yet understand.

Lesser Philosopher's Stone takes emotion as Cornerstone, which is only a part of the soul.

Therefore, its power is limited, but it is enough to push civilization forward."

He stared at the green stone, his voice calm and powerful:

"With it--

We can break Gamp's 'Basic Transfiguration Law' and make food appear out of thin air.

From now on there will be no hunger in the world.

With this as the core, we can cure almost all diseases and extend life.

We can create all metals, magical and non-magical, through transmutation.

It will become a medium that connects magic and technology, pushing civilization into the interstellar and dimensional era.

What's more, it is renewable energy.

As long as Magic Circuits exists and as long as humans still have emotions, this stone will never dry up.

True Magic stone is eternal, and Lesser Philosopher's Stone can last for hundreds of years.

--This little stone will become the Cornerstone of civilization."

Silence fell in the house.

Flamel and his wife looked at each other, shocked in their hearts.

They knew Ian was ambitious, but they didn't expect to witness this step with their own eyes.

Nico sighed with emotion, "Fortunately, I agreed to your invitation.

It's just a pity--it would be great if my old friend Albus could see it too."

After a brief silence, Ian continued to ask, "What are the side effects of emotional refining?"

"Almost not." Perenelle replied, "As long as the amount of control does not exceed the limit, the person whose emotions are extracted will not be affected.

Moreover, we use group extraction and draw evenly from different people, so it is safer."

Ian nodded and asked, "What about the samples made using dark emotions?"

Perenelle took out another dark green stone.

"Other than the color difference, which shows a stronger resonance effect when casting Dark Magic, there is almost no difference."

Ian carefully reviewed the experimental data, and after confirming that it was correct, he included the records in his magic book.

"Very good."

He raised his head and smiled, "Then let's start with the First Tier section - 'Magic User Plan'."

Nico took the document and was in a daze after just reading the title.

"Are you serious?"

Perenelle took the document, flipped through a few pages and said in surprise, "

You actually want Muggles to be able to use magic?"

"Theoretically it's possible." Ian replied calmly.

Nico mused, "If we can let them have 'artificial Magic Core', it is indeed possible.

But you know, it's almost reshaping human biology."

"I don't need all Muggles to awaken their magic." Ian smiled slightly,

"Even if only 1% of people succeed, it will be enough to reshape the world.

Muggles has a population of seven billion--

As long as one person can cast spells, their number exceeds the entire Wizarding World.

If I want to build True Magic civilization, population is the primary issue.

Natural reproduction is too slow, I don't plan to wait hundreds of years.

--So, this is the most direct path."

Flamel couple looked at each other and finally nodded at the same time.

"We will do our best to assist."

"Contact me anytime if you have any questions."

Ian smiled slightly, turned around and stepped into the teleportation array.

After returning to his residence, he first sent a letter to little Susan.

The letter contained an apology:

"I'm sorry, I have to miss this vacation. But I promise to compensate you with a bigger surprise next time."

After doing this, he walked into the underground laboratory and locked the door.

The new experiment has officially begun.
