Temperature Control in Academy City

Although it is possible to create high-tech such as nuclear power plants in reality, it is unrealistic when applied to humans.

Humanoid self-propelled nuclear power plant? If it really reaches that level, temperature control will be called nuclear energy control, but let alone level 5, whether level 6 can be achieved is still under discussion. If so, whether it is a high temperature of tens of thousands of degrees or even higher, or a low temperature close to absolute zero, it is not impossible to achieve.

After reading so much information, it has benefited someone a lot.

Not to mention the development of derivative (horizontal) capabilities, the practical level of thermal-kinetic conversion derived from the above speculation about such capabilities (kinetic and thermal energy conversion) is something that makes one unable to take their eyes off.

This has transitioned from conjecture to reality, and has achieved certain results.

From knowing how to use it to knowing its principles, even if it is just a guess, the gap is still very large, and this guess can be reversely proven through practical aspects.

Natsume Sonoko had also written about the development of this thermal conversion ability in an unknown notebook, thinking that she would be amazing if she could develop this ability. However, she did not expect to see similar research here today.

This research is still in its early stages. After reading the above information word by word, Natsume Sonoko now looked like the silly son of a landlord, with a silly smile on her face.

This smile didn't last long before a big hand patted him twice from behind.

"Ito, I can't say your experiment today was bad, but I always feel like something is wrong. The actual effect of the formula is at least one third weaker. Is there something wrong with the horizontal formula?"

Researcher Hirosue Asuka looked at Natsume Sonoko with a serious look on her face. According to her memory, the board of directors was already impatient with their progress, and if they could not produce satisfactory results, they might reduce staff and expenses next year.

"No, the airflow barrier formula is very useful. I just feel a little unwell." Natsume Sonoko explained hurriedly with an apologetic look on her face.

Just after the researcher walked away, Natsume Sonoko couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and touched the non-existent sweat on her forehead.

In fact, it is not that you are physically uncomfortable, but that the formula was not developed for you, so its applicability is a bit problematic.

Even though my ability is a little similar to that of Ito, I am already very powerful as I can understand it and turn it into a formula that I can use in a short period of time.

Suddenly, Natsume Sonoko felt an inexplicable sense of helplessness. While she was still studying the formula alone, there was a group of people in Academy City who had an entire research institute or even more resources to squander. Although the price was not small, she was being studied all the time as a guinea pig.

"See if I can copy some information. Half a month is not enough." Natsume Sonoko couldn't help but think. Especially the practical knowledge of thermal energy conversion, these are the most important things. Compared with this, other things are nothing.

"Current research only involves the conversion of kinetic energy into thermal energy. As for the conversion of thermal energy into kinetic energy, there has been no progress. But it is enough for me." Natsume Sonoko thought secretly.

Moreover, in terms of converting kinetic energy into thermal energy, only two materials, copper and iron, are currently involved, but it can basically defend against various bullets and cold weapons.

"Ms. Hirosue, I have been very interested in thermal conversion recently. I think we should start this type of research first." Natsume Sonoko ran to the female researcher and solemnly expressed her opinion.

"No, the institute has its own plans, you just need to cooperate." Hearing this righteous answer, Natsume Sonoko silently felt pity for this student named Ito. Although he seemed to be the center of the institute, he unexpectedly had no status at all.

Maybe this is the difference between LV5 and non-LV5.

She stayed in the research institute until very late, and when the researchers started to go home one after another, Natsume Sonoko finally realized what was happening and sat down in her seat.

Today's harvest was unprecedentedly great, saving Natsume Sonoko a lot of time that should have been spent on researching, organizing and reading materials.

My head was in a mess at this moment, but because it was filled with things, I felt a little dizzy.

"I really have to thank Shokuhou-senpai very much. I owe you a huge favor." Standing up, Natsume Sonoko stuffed a pile of her notes into her schoolbag, planning to return to the dormitory to continue reading.

Speaking of the dormitory, Natsume Sonoko suddenly reacted. She looked through the window at the sky outside that had turned dark and gloomy, and she felt as if she had been poured with cold water.

I almost forgot that it’s almost time to turn off the lights, and the warden should be standing at the door ready to catch someone.

"It's so late, do you want to take a taxi home?" Several researchers around me were chatting in a relaxed manner, which made people envy the freedom of adults.

"Take a taxi? Taxis in Academy City are terribly expensive. It's better for me to walk back."

Natsume Sonoko hurriedly walked out of the research institute, but she didn't have any spare money to take a taxi.

When they arrived at an intersection, Natsume Sonoko stretched out her hand and pushed and pulled forward, and a cleaning robot struggled to stop at someone's feet.

Chapter 72: Half a minute faster than Shirai

At night, a common cleaning robot walked alone on the empty street, stepping through shallow puddles. Suddenly it stopped and sucked the cans and bottles on the ground into its stomach.

The cleaning robot, loyal to its duty, seemed not to sense anyone's anxious gaze and moved towards a student dormitory in Tokiwadai at a normal speed.

"Can you please not litter the streets? It will cause trouble to others."

Natsume Sonoko glanced at the cans on the ground with some anger. It was nothing special when the cleaning robot stopped to clean.

But the situation now is very serious, and Natsume doesn't want to be blown by the wind at the door of the student dormitory in the middle of the night.

Sitting on the cleaning robot, as it was almost lights-out time, Natsume Sonoko's anxious look became more intense, and she looked at the robot under her with a melancholy look.

Suddenly, a small tornado appeared out of nowhere, immediately rolling up the garbage and dust on the ground. Without the interference of garbage, the speed of the cleaning robot immediately began to increase.

"Boss, please give me a plate of chicken gizzards, a plate of pork elbows and peanuts."

"Okay, sir. Please wait a moment."

At a late-night roadside stall in the Seventh School District, a short and cute teacher in pink was drinking a glass of bubbling beer in big gulps and couldn't help but let out a satisfied sigh.

There was still some blush on her face, obviously she was a little drunk, and she was holding some skewers of meat in her hands.

"Boss, I also want some takoyaki and teppanyaki tofu. Oh, and beer, too."

"Good customer."

After patting Tetsuzo Zuiri and Tsukuyomi Komeng beside her, Yomizukawa Aihui, whose face had turned red, smiled with satisfaction, squinted her eyes and picked up the beer and continued drinking.

"Don't drink anymore, you've already drunk enough." Teacher Tiezhuang advised with a little concern. His tone was as soft and weak as usual, and had no deterrent effect at all.

"Tie Zhuang, you're exaggerating. We only drank a little." Teacher Xiao Meng said with a chuckle, tilting her head.

"But Huang Quanchuan is the type of person who gets drunk as soon as she drinks. Xiao Meng, you must help send Huang Quanchuan back."

"Tie Zhuang, you are so cunning. Hey, why is it so windy suddenly?" The skewers of meat in Teacher Xiao Meng's hand were blown away, but fortunately they did not fall to the ground.

"Strange, am I dazzled?"

Suddenly I felt a strong wind blowing around me, causing the stall to sway, and the only person still awake in the iron suit showed a surprised look.

"what happened?"

Having passed out completely on the table, Mr. Huang Quanchuan asked in a daze.

"Nothing, I seemed to see a small tornado circling around a cleaning robot." Teacher Tetsuzo said uncertainly.

There were still ten minutes before the lights were turned off. Someone roughly estimated the speed of the cleaning robot and thought it was okay, so it should be able to catch up.

"I think I saw Teacher Xiao Meng and the others just now. It's great to be a teacher. I don't have to worry about lights out."

Natsume Sonoko looked at the roadside stall behind her with some concern and said with some emotion in her heart.

If I grow up, being a teacher would be a good choice. But I don't have the patience to take care of students, but it's not difficult to get a teacher's license in Academy City.

The robot whizzed past, and strange winds blew around it, making it impossible for the bad boys passing by to open their eyes.

The familiar gate of the student dormitory finally appeared in front of her. Amidst a burst of rapid and heavy breathing, Natsume Sonoko jumped off a white cylinder.

After a short jog, Natsume Sonoko finally entered the door of Tokiwadai dormitory just half a minute before lights out.

"Great, I caught up."

Natsume Sonoko breathed a sigh of relief, a look of joy appeared on her face, and she couldn't help but glance at the dorm supervisor who was pushing up his glasses and looking thoughtful not far away.

"You're lucky, Natsume-san."

The voice of the dorm supervisor rang in Natsume Sonoko's ears, making her shiver uncontrollably.

"But some people may not be so lucky. They have exceeded the time limit by three seconds."

The dorm supervisor put away the watch he was holding, and suddenly reached out to lock onto Shirai-san who was about to sneak in while the two were chatting.

"Do you have anything to say? Shirai-san, I think this is your fourth time being late this month."

The dormitory supervisor used her cold and indifferent eyes to examine the sweat-drenched space mover in her hands. A faint murderous aura permeated the entire dormitory hall, and the lights around seemed to dim suddenly.

"Shirai, I want to commend you on one thing. You were wise enough not to use your ability to sneak into the dormitory. Otherwise, you would have been the focus of attention during the ward inspection today."

The words of the dorm supervisor made people's scalps tingle. Even for the level 5 senior sister Misaka, she couldn't bear such special care from the dorm supervisor, let alone the movement of ordinary students.

"Door supervisor, I was only three seconds late. I will pay attention next time." Shirai forced a smile, and her brown twin ponytails seemed to droop down.

Judging from the dormitory supervisor's tone, it seems that Shirai-san has a history of using his abilities to sneak into the dormitory.

"Are you bargaining with me?" The dorm supervisor stared at Shirai with a cold gaze.

"No, I just..."

"What are you still doing here? Do you want to go out and see the moon together?"

The dorm supervisor turned his head and looked at the girl with a bun who was watching the fun nearby. He was so scared that he hurriedly ran to the second floor.

"Okay, now that all the outsiders have left, it's time to settle your problems, Shirai." The dorm supervisor put his hands around Shirai's neck and whispered in his ear.

There seemed to be the sound of a door closing and a heavy object falling to the ground, the wind was whistling outside the door, and a certain moving being was squatting at the door of the student dormitory, crying but unable to cry.

"I almost forgot your bag."

The door of the student dormitory suddenly opened, and under Shirai's expectant gaze, the dormitory supervisor stretched out his arm and threw out a black schoolbag.

After silently praying for Shirai-san for a while, Natsume Sonoko, still a little frightened, staggered up to the second floor, with a trace of relief still on her face.

Only after returning to her dormitory 210 did Natsume Sonoko feel relieved.

I took out my cell phone and silently set an alarm, reminding myself not to forget the time, so as not to end up like Shirai.

I spent two hours digesting my gains today. In addition to thermal-kinetic conversion, I also gained a lot in other derivative abilities. Even the idea of ​​nitrogen armor has a little possibility of being realized.

Of course, gains are just gains. It will take a lot of effort to transform them into abilities that you can use.

According to the current data on thermal-dynamic conversion, in order to construct a series of formula combinations that can be barely used, Natsume Sonoko will need at least half a year to repeatedly modify and calculate the formulas. If there are multiple supercomputers working together, the time may be greatly shortened.

Natsume Sonoko planned to write down the sorted and summarized information in a notebook, but she still had to be careful considering the origin of the information.

After thinking about it, they decided to give up using normal written records and instead used some kind of Martian language from an unknown world. They split various symbols, traditional Chinese characters, simplified Chinese characters, Japanese, cuneiform, etc., and reshaped them with an unpredictable combination, forming a type of language that Earthlings could not understand.

"Well, it's a very good design." Natsume Sonoko nodded, seeming very satisfied with her masterpiece. Looking at the strange words under her pen, an inexplicable look appeared on her face.

After finishing the work at hand, Natsume Sonoko felt sleepy. Just as she was about to go to bed, she heard a knock on the door next door.

"Onee-sama, Kuroko finally sees you again." As the door next door opened, Shirai's aggrieved words were heard.

"Keep your voice down, everyone is asleep. Remember to bring your keys with you next time." This was the voice of Senior Misaka, suppressing her emotions.

Chapter 73: The Research Institute Abandoned Early

In a classroom at Tokiwadai Middle School.

It is now the last class on Friday afternoon, and tomorrow will be the much-anticipated weekend.

At this time, Natsume Sonoko was listening to the class while writing furiously on her desk. It took her about ten minutes to finish all the homework that the teacher had not assigned.

As usual, Natsume Sonoko is always good at time management, studying hard when she needs to study and not wasting any time.

"Natsume-san, the exam is in a week. Shall we go to the library to review together today?" Wannei, a classmate next to him, carefully leaned over and asked softly.

"Review? But I'm very busy lately, so I can't go with you." Natsume Sonoko put down her pen and showed an apologetic expression on her face. She was indeed very busy these days and had to go back to the dormitory on time every night.

Although there are many courses in Tokiwadai, there are not many subjects that require examinations. Many courses are graded directly in class, and only a few courses require examinations.

These courses include Chinese, mathematics, physics and the like, but considering that it is only the first exam to enter junior high school, it does not involve too much content and is not actually difficult for Natsume Sonoko.

"I see. Natsume-san really works hard." Wannei-san nodded and said with emotion.

This class is a physics class. The physics teacher teaches very fast. He turns over more than ten pages in just a few minutes. A thick book can be finished in just a few classes.

Natsume Sonoko listened to the lecture and compared the content in her head, and time passed by unknowingly.

As soon as the get out of class was over, Natsume Sonoko, who was not bound by any club activities, hurried out of the school gate.

Since I leave school faster, I often run into Shirai Kuroko recently.

At this time, Shirai was tidying up her appearance, putting on the discipline committee armband on her arm neatly and combing her hair and draping it behind her shoulders.

"Shirai-san, please don't be late again tonight."

Suddenly hearing a familiar voice, Shirai Kuroko turned around and saw a guy walking hurriedly with a schoolbag.

"It's none of your business. What have you been doing lately, you bun-head? You're so secretive." Shirai classmate often sees this guy returning to the dormitory on time recently, and she can't help but feel a little concerned.

"I have my own things to do."

The daily life of being studied in the research institute is so boring, but someone does not dare to relax at all and cooperates with the researchers' work seriously.

There was no way to take the materials from the research institute away, but no one stopped Natsume Sonoko from taking out her notes. She spent the days studying and taking notes.

Similarly, this research institute was not equipped with a supercomputer, let alone obtaining the computing quota of the top supercomputer that the tree diagram designer used, which made Natsume Sonoko a little regretful.
