Temperature Control in Academy City

Many experimental projects that attract students to participate are actually just projects disguised as super-power projects. The purpose is naturally to make the mice obedient.

Semi-wild or pure wild esper users like Natsume and Misaka are the exception. Of course, this exception does not include a certain strong-willed young man.

"I hope that the adults in Academy City are all good people, but in reality, there are still many cases where they would execute me without hesitation after completing the Exosuit."

"So I don't really believe that the internal evolution plan, which is also a talent house project, is really for the purpose of training people with esper abilities. What Mitsuari-san really wants to do may be the real purpose of the adults' internal evolution plan hidden behind the guise of training people with esper abilities."

"That's not necessarily true. Maybe Mitsuari-san thinks the two are the same thing. After all, that chocolate-colored hair looks a bit silly, so it's normal for her to be deceived and fooled by adults."

Shokuhou Misaki's starry eyes showed some thought, and her expression was a little dazed.

This was her real experience, and it also taught her to show her claws and face the ubiquitous malice.

Even though the artificial laboratory provided enough resources for Shokuhou Misaki to become a psychic, the next second, in order to protect herself, Shokuhou Misaki not only backstabbed the other party in advance, but also dragged the entire research institute into the abyss of bankruptcy.

But she suddenly became a little excited again, wanting to see if the guy who provoked her was still immersed in the lies woven by the adults. If so, she would definitely ridicule him without hesitation, and then retaliate severely against him for finding someone to attack her.

Even Natsume knew to throw people who disgusted her into the trash can, so how could she possibly show a good face to someone who wanted to attack her for no reason?

"This reminds me that maybe we can focus on the experiment that concentrated a lot of resources of the internal evolution plan, pretending to cultivate super-powered people but ended up causing an accident. Maybe we can find out the other party's real purpose."

"And that experimental accident was also the one that caused Hojo Ayane's brother to be injured."

As Shokuhou Misaki thought about it, her thoughts finally became coherent, as if she was connecting many things together.

Although she was not a member of the internal evolution program, she had read the memories of former members such as Hokaze Junko and Yujian Iruka, and quickly locked on to an accident that occurred in the Saigoku workshop.

It was also after that serious experimental accident that the Internal Evolution research project was defunded by the General Council, leading to the complete closure of the research institute, and the subsequent transfer of the Internal Evolution group and her to Tokiwadai School.

It was not difficult for Shokuhou Misaki to find specific information and data about the experimental accident because she inherited the inheritance of many talented people's workshops, including Hokaze Junko.

This kind of inheritance can also be seen as usurpation. The bully psychic Shokuhou Misaki fully exerted her subjective initiative and used her psychological control ability to secretly conceal the Unified Council.

However, the only legacy of the workshop she has preserved is probably Junko Hokaze, an empty building, and some sealed experimental materials and documents.

In the face of the recovery team that Academy City would inevitably send out, Shokuhou Misaki had already personally destroyed the most important part of the legacy, the external brain that was cultivated from her own cerebral cortex.

Thinking of this, Shokuhou Misaki prepared to search the remaining data of the artificial room again. However, in addition to the part about Mitsuari Aiyu, she also had to find the circulation channels of those normal Indian poker cards.

People like Kaiz, a foreigner with rich experience, and Jingce Kanqu, who has connections in the dark, are both good partners. The two directions can be developed at the same time.

"I almost forgot that Fanfeng's matter also needs to be put on the agenda."

Shokuhou Misaki frowned slightly, looking a little hesitant, and her eyes were on Hokaze Junko who was helping the attacker treat his injuries.

Chapter 469: Half Vitality

The afternoons in Academy City always make those who are strolling outside feel comfortable and tired.

The noisy cicada chirping of summer has faded away, the ambient temperature has gradually become pleasant, and there are more and more idle people occasionally enjoying life in the small park.

At this time, most of the school club activities have not yet ended. In addition to the stable traffic flow on the road, the only things you can see on the roadside are elementary school students walking in groups of three or four, and some middle school students who have skipped classes or simply returned to their homes.

Shaking his head, Natsume always felt that he was very different from those students who skipped classes or stayed home.

Although what everyone does seems to be similar, and she may even be a little more mixed up, she has legitimate reasons, and can answer with confidence no matter what others ask.

She is not only a disabled injured person now, but is also carrying out her own community activities, such as going out to collect folk songs.

In the Urban Legend Investigation Club, Natsume is an indispensable and important member of the four-member team, and even the next president has been decided to be me.

"It's so infuriating. No matter how you think about it, she must have done it on purpose."

"But after all, she is Shirai-san, so we can't ask too much of her."

On a sparsely populated pedestrian overpass, a guy with a bun-haired look sensed the movement of a space that was gradually moving away, with a dissatisfied expression on his face.

But at least he managed to dissuade the other party from asking the warden for help, otherwise his life would have fallen into a new crisis.

Such a serious public security incident had broken out in their own school, and perhaps the Shokuhou faction would soon define it as some other incident, but it had in fact caused many students to be injured and the situation needed to be investigated.

Even if some of the classmates are not from my dormitory, the dormitory supervisor may be busy for a while. It is really thoughtful of me not to disturb him at this time.

"Are we going to go look for Shigefuku-san now?"

"It seems that due to the riots that happened in the school, the swimming club's activities have been suspended. But I don't need to take care of such things at all."

With a frown on his face, Natsume put the thought behind him.

Besides the fact that it is really convenient to have someone to help run errands, Natsume doesn't want others to worry about her situation, as that would make her feel uncomfortable.

In fact, the girl with the bun-headed hair who knew Shigefuku very well could probably imagine the other person's worried look, so she opened her phone and sent him a smiley face. After all, the things happening in school were just too big a deal.

[I'm fine, don't worry]

With her eyes covered with gauze, the bun-haired student, who had exceeded the quota for being a pirate in the Caribbean, sent messages one by one. She found that many students from Tokiwadai who she had a good relationship with had asked about her situation.

Hmm, there seems to be a delayed text message for help. Judging from the time, it should have been sent when Shokuhou-senpai and the others were attacked. I remember that the sender, Natsume-san, was a first-year student in their class.

After simply dealing with some things, Natsume suddenly stopped on the overpass because a mysterious person flew over her head at high speed.

It must be that guy who cuts the board.

You seem so energetic every day. I really envy such an easy life.

Chapter 469: Sincere Intent

Sogiita Gunha flying overhead is just an ordinary embellishment of daily life. After all, no one knows what this stubborn young man wants to do.

It is said that the number of incidents that the other party has helped and handled is comparable to that of the discipline committee member with twin ponytails in his family. Perhaps they have something in common in terms of backbone and sense of justice, which is something that the bun-haired classmate who has no ideals and just wants to eat and wait for death lacks.

Sogiita Gunha's supersonic movement has exceeded the limit of ordinary people's vision. Fortunately, Natsume basically does not rely on his own eyesight to capture such a high-speed moving guy.

However, as the other party's moving trajectory disappeared at the end of the skyline, the guy with the bun-haired look suddenly came to his senses.

After just observing the other party for a while through the aim phase, Natsume-san obtained some important information that made her feel very concerned.

"No wonder Sogiita-senpai is included in the list of people with special abilities. I thought a rough diamond like him would be very special."

"The result is the same as that of most ordinary esper users. They also emit an AIM diffusion field. However, the AIM field released unconsciously by the other party is much stronger than that of a normal esper user. At least I have not seen an individual with a stronger AIM field than him so far."

Natsume, who originally thought that she would get different information from the raw stone, seemed a little uninterested. She finally became interested in doing some scientific research.

I heard that special ability users like Original Stone are the product of the stimulation of the earth's environment, and are very different from the ability users artificially cultivated in the Academy City. However, from the perspective of the aim force field, they are still similar.

With a dazed expression on his face, Natsume-san rested his hands on the railing of the overpass, his body leaning slightly on it involuntarily, making him look a little listless.

Speaking of which, a lot of things happened today. It was not until this moment that Natsume had some energy to recall what had happened.

But after thinking for a while, Natsume's teeth started to clench together, and he waved his fist towards the sky, attracting the curious attention of the elementary school students passing by.

"I still feel angry. He's even more infuriating than that guy Shirai-san."

"Because of this attack, there will be one less place where I can feel safe."

"I don't want to live a life where I have to rely on my abilities to protect myself all day long."

Natsume regained his expressionless look and just felt a little tired.

She abides by the rules of the Academy Garden because she expects its protection, and this can also be extended to the Academy City.

When she was in school, she could keep her abilities to a minimum without having to fill her radar all the time. She only had to pay a little security cost and could stay there comfortably.

Now, Natsume has to put in more effort to pay for the possible malicious intentions of others in order to prevent similar attacks from happening.

After all, she is not like Shokuhou-senpai, who was hit hard by reality and can only trust people who can read her mind. Natsume still has many pursuits in her life.

So when Natsume starts to envy others, he is most likely sincere about it.

Chapter 470 Auxiliary Tools

If destiny is a predetermined path that determines everything that each person needs to experience, then when someone deviates from the prescribed route, there must be an unstoppable force to correct it.

There seems to be no other way to break the shackles of this fate except the various magnificent miracles created by the world itself.

Natsume doesn't know whether she has a predetermined destiny, but the reality pushes her to constantly pursue more powerful strength so that she can adapt to more and more harsh environments and fierce battles.

Even though she does not have the urgent desire to gain more powerful strength, sometimes it has nothing to do with her attitude. In the end, she has no choice but to develop more and more abilities more frequently.

It was as if once she stopped developing her abilities, she would face more helpless situations, and even breathing would seem to become difficult.

"Maybe I can add a light intensity option to the constant temperature layer, and once a situation similar to today occurs, light refraction will be automatically turned on."

"The intensity of light can be identified by the temperature changes it causes on the body surface. Although light is just an electromagnetic wave, it will be converted into heat when it hits the air. It's probably the photothermal effect or something. But how can we distinguish it from normal temperature changes?"

Sitting at my small desk, I could no longer see much light outside the window. Only the street lights in the student dormitory were still outputting light steadily.

It was obviously dark.

There are more new things written in Martian language in the notebook. Natsume always likes to write down his inspirations, and whether these inspirations are developed or not depends entirely on demand.

The Martian language written by Natsume is becoming more and more bizarre, almost to the point where even she herself can't understand it. This is very necessary for Natsume because she doesn't want the possibility of leaking her own information.

As for why she specifically wrote it down in a notebook, it was probably because if she didn't write it down, she would completely forget about it in a few days.

But it seems that our classmate Natsume is also facing some difficulties now.

For example, she didn't want her body to become blurry due to light refraction every time she encountered the strong light trigger temperature she set after she developed this formula.

This can cause huge problems and can happen very easily, and if you’re not careful it can easily lead to social disarray and chaos.

It is also impossible to activate refraction after strong light hits your eyes, which would be completely meaningless. Therefore, a formula must be developed that is triggered in advance and runs in real time, which is similar to Accelerator's body surface reflection but very different.

In that case, Natsume would have to add some other identification methods besides the set refraction trigger temperature, but she hasn't figured it out yet, so maybe she still has to rely on her own microscopic perspective.

Although there is no such thing as light in the lightless phase that he uses to observe microscopic angles, light is actually a kind of electromagnetic wave, which is also within the range that Natsume can observe with the help of that phase.

At the same time, Natsume thinks another problem is that light travels too fast.

Even though Natsume herself is a person with extremely developed brain abilities, her brain can sense the temperature of light with a considerable degree of timeliness.

After setting the passive formula triggering conditions, the speed of activating the refraction formula is even faster than Natsume's mental reaction speed, but it is undeniable that there is still an extremely short time interval.

And this time interval is enough to determine the success or failure of the development of this formula.

The emergence of this problem also made Natsume curious about the brain circuit of the white-haired man. His head of white hair and overly fair skin were obviously the result of real-time reflection of light.

It's just that the other party should only reflect a part of the light components that he doesn't need, unlike Natsume-san who refracts all of it.

According to Natsume's idea, unless Accelerator turns his skin into a physical mirror, he can reflect all the unnecessary light. Of course, mirrors cannot reflect some invisible light, this is just a metaphor.

I don’t know how that guy with white hair dealt with this kind of problem. He could achieve such an exaggerated level. It’s simply... a miracle.

Or maybe the opponent's reflexes are not that thorough, and they only reflect those things that your ability can keep up with and deal with in time, which has an actual limit.

It’s just that because of many things that happened before, Natsume thought the other party was too mythical.

"So, in order for this formula to work properly, I need to increase the coverage of the constant temperature layer, or set up a few additional fixed temperature detection points outside the constant temperature layer."

"Even so, the feasibility is still uncertain. We still need more computing power to continue to deduce and trial and error this formula. And we must develop a more efficient formula to make the brain's reaction interval shorter."

There was a hint of helplessness on her face. Of course, Natsume's brain could not be used to develop formulas. That would be too inefficient and would greatly affect her life. She did not have the intention of becoming a formula development tool.

And the only thing she can rely on now is Lingzi's computing power. Lingzi is a super capable girl.

But she had already stuffed a lot of computing tasks with Lingzi, which would take at least half a month to complete, and now she had no extra computing power to do these.

"Oh, I really want a supercomputer."

"I really hope Mom can come here sooner."

Sighing, Natsume couldn't help but mutter.

For people with super powers, computing power is never too little.

"But when it comes to computers, many computers today still use the von Neumann architecture. The calculation foundation is built on binary, and the distinction between 0 and 1 is achieved by turning on and off the circuits in the internal integrated circuits."

"If we can find a way to represent 0 or 1 similar to the on-off of a circuit, then we can use that method to implement logical operations such as 'AND gate' and 'OR gate' in computers..."

After a slight pause, Natsume suddenly realized that his thoughts seemed to have deviated again, and to an extreme degree.

Rubbing her eyes that were tightly covered with gauze, Natsume gently put down the notebook in her hand. It was rare that this sudden idea was not thrown directly into the corner of her brain.

It seemed that the urgent need for computing power led her to have some strange ideas.

Natsume keenly discovered that she seemed to be able to achieve a way similar to turning a circuit on and off. The simplest one was like heating up and not heating up.

Going deeper, she could try to interfere with the two orthogonal polarization directions of light particles or the spin directions of electrons in a magnetic field with her microscopic perspective.

So, is it possible to use these 0s or 1s, the things around her and even various particles, to construct an auxiliary tool that can realize the purpose of a computer within her capabilities?

The idea is good, but how to realize several logical operations in the computer and what material carrier to use as the basic unit to realize logical operations like the silicon chip in the computer are some major problems that need to be faced.
