Temperature Control in Academy City

Because there are too many professional words, Natsume Sonoko is a bit confusing to read, but the general content is still very clear.

Back to the point, one of the two options is the fully centralized option represented by the Fantasy Hand incident, which concentrates many sub-brains into one main brain.

Although these sub-brains can receive certain computing support and can lead normal lives, they are ultimately inevitably influenced and controlled by the main brain.

The other one simulates an operating mode similar to the Misaka network, where many individuals are parallel to each other but an administrator is established.

The administrator is a parallel member of the individual and cannot occupy the computing resources of other individuals. The main purpose of his existence is to serve as a regulating valve or safety measure.

Usually, the administrator can also input some things like programming or protocols in computer programs to achieve a resource allocation effect.

However, as long as the administrator is hacked or poisoned, all individuals will be affected involuntarily, and strictly speaking, the risk is not small.

Fortunately, this risk seems to be avoidable.

As long as the connection is not directly through the brain like the Misaka sisters, resulting in the individual having almost no ability to disconnect from the Internet alone, but is indirectly connected through instruments and equipment, there will be no problem.

Even if the administrator is affected, it won't matter as long as the connection is disconnected. At most, the computing power can no longer be shared, and there will be no situation where a virus is implanted that can affect all the sisters.

According to Mr. Kihara, Mr. Kiyama chose the one with more mature technology and simpler operation, that is, the main brain and sub-brain solution.

"By the way, if this method of transferring computing power through instruments is feasible, then can I lend my computing power to Ms. Saten?"

"It's not just Saten-san, but also Yuu-san. Or many people without abilities can try to get their own abilities."

“Besides, since there are instruments and administrators as intermediaries, both the party lending computing power and the party borrowing computing power can set some terms to agree on their own rights and interests. In the worst case, the network can be physically disconnected, so there is no need for the weaker party to have no room for resistance like the ‘Fantasy Hand’.”

Tilting her head, some thoughts suddenly flashed through Natsume Sonoko's mind. It was obvious that she still remembered the "Fantasy Hand" incident clearly.

If the 'Fantasy Hand' incident wasn't a hoax, Saten-san would probably be living a very happy life right now.

Moreover, Natsume Sonoko's head was once filled with a lot of distracting thoughts from people with no abilities, and she also personally experienced the inner thoughts of many people with no abilities. Until now, these things still exist in her mind.

Perhaps because of her compatibility with most ordinary people, Natsume Sonoko's mental state has remained relatively normal until now, but in some aspects she has become a very conflicted and twisted girl.

We were all developing our abilities together, but in the end, I was the only one who fulfilled my wish. This feeling of being "unique" and "special" makes me feel overwhelmed whenever I think about it.

All kinds of expectations and hopes, all kinds of despair and loss have flowed through Natsume Sonoko's heart. She actually very much agrees with everyone's desire to obtain their own abilities and the idea that hard work will be rewarded.

Of course, this tricky approach still cannot solve the most critical problem of capacity development.

If it can be truly developed and some rules can be established, it would be almost equivalent to a novel computing power rental platform, allowing many low-level ability users to get the opportunity to use the idle computing power of high-level ability users. It could probably be called "cloud power" or something?

The 15th School District is the most expensive area in Academy City and the birthplace of many popular elements. It is very suitable for companies or groups in the media and entertainment industries to move in.

Near the center of the area is a giant commercial building called "Diamond-like", which is also the main landmark building in the area. Radiating outward from this main landmark building is a core area composed of nearly a hundred commercial buildings.

The company headquarters chosen by the Daidoji Group is located on the edge of this core area, a small commercial area consisting of three adjacent buildings.

Although it is also located in the core area of ​​the 15th School District, the overall price has been reduced to an acceptable level.

However, because it is a marginal area, the business atmosphere has gradually merged with the atmosphere of life. There are often students and people passing by around, as well as a relatively lively consumer business district. Risk management and confidentiality security seem to be greatly compromised.

Of course, it’s enough for a toy company for now.

"Reducing the selling price by about 10% from the original price is already an ideal expectation in line with the current environment."

"It's just that the additional terms require the deal to be completed as soon as possible. Is it because you have no confidence in the future war?"

With a serene smile on her face, Miss Chishie had just emerged from a short meeting. She leaned tiredly against the French window, gazing at the 'Diamond-like' in the distance.

In fact, most of the communication had been completed before she came to Academy City. The opinions of both parties had long been exchanged through various intermediary companies or communication channels, and Miss Tomoyo's job here was just to settle everything.

In fact, Miss Tomoyo is also very satisfied with the current transaction conditions, which are about 200 million less than the previous price.

Combined with the establishment of factories, equipment, various channels and connections, the total cost can be saved by about 400 million compared to previous estimates, greatly alleviating the problem of fund borrowing.

But as we have considered before, this requires taking on the additional risks of war and increasing security considerations.

Once Academy City encounters a major setback outside, internal chaos is inevitable. For example, the approach of the three buildings in this area jointly forming a security force is a bit stretched.

Furthermore, according to some unknown intelligence, all the major groups in Academy City have begun recruiting additional security personnel, and even the price of hiring Anbu has begun to rise a lot.

"Chairman, we have already started recruiting researchers from several universities as required. Other positions have also been announced. Relevant interviews will also be arranged in the next few days."

"However...among these applicants, there are some very interesting profiles."

Coming up behind Ms. Tomoyo and changing into a slim-fitting women's suit, Shatora said uncertainly.

"A profile that people really care about?"

Ms. Tomoyo asked in confusion.

"It's about the Kihara clan."

"Chairman, in Academy City, only the Kihara clan is different."

After thinking for a while, Shatora, who was doing her secretary work seriously, finally spoke.

She was not sure whether her chairman knew about the Kihara clan, so all she could do was to remind him as much as possible.

At the same time, she was also very surprised that an ordinary company could recruit someone of this level, but after thinking about it, it might be related to the identity of the eighth person.

Moreover, the other party did not hide his thoughts at all and openly stated his identity as a member of the Kihara clan.

"Are there many Kiharas? Are there other people with the last name Kihara..."

Taking a tablet from Shatora, Miss Tomoyo restrained her expression and looked at several specially compiled introductions in a daze.

[Introduction: Many Kiharas]

Graduated from the University of Pinyu in Academy City, with nearly ten years of research experience, he has participated in the ability development of people with super powers, and has worked in institutions such as "Teri Research" and "Mist Hill Affiliated Research Institute";

In the photo, the other person has flexible mechanical prosthetic eyes installed in both eye sockets, not much hair on his head, and skin as white and smooth as a baby's...

The reason given in the introduction is that the eyeballs and facial nerves were severely damaged due to looking directly at extremely high-temperature objects, and many parts of the body suffered irreversible high-temperature burns. However, artificial organs and skin have been implanted and the body has returned to a relatively normal state.

"What a strange person."

Miss Chise's expression was slightly solemn. It was the first time she had met such a job applicant.

However, the job position the other party applied for was not a job in the research institute that he was about to set up, but rather the head of the security department of the "Dadao Temple Group".

"Chairman, what should we do with this brief?"

Shatora hesitated for a moment, her hands trembling slightly involuntarily, and she suddenly smelled a very unusual smell.

"Of course I refuse."

"This person is different from Shateora. Xiao Yuanzi won't like her. And the first priority for recruiting personnel is preferably cute girls. After all, this is a company that makes toys for girls."

With a self-righteous smile on her face, Ms. Chise turned to the end of the introduction, and a photo of a cute girl appeared.

[Introduction: Kihara Nayuta]

Currently attending elementary school, he is a student at the Advanced Education Bureau and Special Corporation RFO School, but he is also a current researcher at three research institutions and is also a member of the Kihara clan and the Discipline Committee.

......

"Haha, just rest assured, Natsume-san. Since the birth of mankind, if you want to visit a patient, you must have this kind of high-end nutritional supplement that is specially used to replenish blood and nourish the spirit."

"In terms of efficacy and actual value, it can be regarded as a superpower in the world of souvenirs."

An exquisite folding fan was stacked on top of the box of comfort items. Married Photon, who was holding several large boxes, freed up one hand and made a confident thumbs-up gesture towards a girl with a bun in the distance.

"Well, isn't this a bit too much?"

Natsume Sonoko, who had just walked out of a department store and was also holding a pile of boxes, said this with some uneasiness.

It feels great to go shopping in the supermarket with my senior, but I always feel like something is not right, and I buy too much.

"It's just a course of treatment. And nowadays, products always like to be over-packaged, so don't be fooled by the simplicity."

Feeling a little out of breath, Guangzi reached out and touched the bottom of the box. A downward airflow immediately lifted all the boxes accurately into the air, but accidentally blew her skirt rustling.

"is that so."

Natsume Sonoko asked somewhat uncertainly.

Originally, she wanted to spend some time with her mother while she was in Academy City, but today seemed to be the day when a senior who graduated from Tokiwadai was discharged from the hospital, so she had to take some time out to pay her a formal visit.

I heard that the other party's body has recovered more than half due to artificial organs, but he is unwilling to stay in the hospital any longer and will start the discharge procedures today.

That's right. No one wants to stay in a place like a hospital for a long time. Natsume Sonoko went back to the student dormitory to recuperate every time she was injured. She still understood the senior's thoughts.

Having said that, although it was not the first time that Natsume Sonoko visited someone when they were discharged from the hospital, the identity of the other person was somewhat different.

Strictly speaking, it was her fault that the other party's internal organs were crushed by the helicopter propeller and he almost died. Natsume Sonoko actually cared about his recovery. The god had done a lot of terrible things, and now she needed her help to clean up the mess.

There's nothing we can do about it. It's her own bad luck that she has to deal with so many troubles.

"After marriage, senior sister, I will definitely pay you back the money I spent on the nutritional supplements next month."

A crumpled bill was clenched in the fair and thin little hand. The price of two hundred thousand made the girl with the bun-haired hair feel breathless.

She had unknowingly accumulated all kinds of debts. If she didn't have a fixed income every month, she felt that she would have to work to earn money. Obviously, she was the type who didn't plan to work until she graduated from college.

And I heard that the way people with super powers work is different from that of ordinary students. A certain gray-haired man made a lot of hard-earned money by selling his body... and being studied in a research institution.

Senior Misaka actually has a fixed cooperative organization, and she has a lot of extra income every month.

For example, although Shokuhou-senpai does not have a part-time job like a psychic, she has controlled a large number of companies through her extracurricular activities, and there is a huge amount of funds in the Shokuhou faction's account.

However, these practices seem to have nothing to do with Natsume Sonoko, so she can only be an ordinary girl among the rich women.

"Don't worry about the bills. It's okay even if you wait until next year. Whenever you need anything, just rely on your best partner, the married photon."

"And being able to meet Natsume-san outside is what makes me happiest, right, little Catherine."

Just as he finished speaking, an oversized Elaphe snake named Catherine, as wide as a palm, appeared behind Guangzi, spitting out a forked pointed tongue as if saying hello to one of the girls with buns.

Today is Catherine's monthly physical examination day. After marriage, Guangzi would take Catherine to a special pet care agency and skip the school club activities.

Since Natsume Sonoko's club activity schedule is Schrodinger's, it is probably only at this time that they can meet each other.

"Good afternoon, little Catherine."

Her steps paused slightly, and an embarrassed expression appeared on Natsume Sonoko's face.

The girl with the bun hair couldn't handle the naked cold-blooded animal.

Chapter 726: The Three Great Factions and the Eternal Princess Sha Dan Shan

Snakes are cold-blooded animals, and their body temperature changes at any time depending on the room temperature. From this point of view alone, they are the type that Natsume Sonoko would avoid.

Even if you tie a big bow around your neck or apply beautiful fluorescent lotion all over your skin, a strange feeling like a natural enemy still makes you feel uncomfortable.

However, ordinary temperature changes have long lost any practical significance to Natsume Sonoko. She can easily distinguish the extremely slight temperature changes after two or three decimal places. There is always a specific image of this rat snake on her radar map.

This kind of improvement in accuracy seems to happen anytime and anywhere. Even after the growth of its own computing power is restricted, the ability of a certain ball-head is actually still steadily improving.

"Senior sister, aren't you going to check on little Catherine today? Is there nothing wrong with this now?"

Natsume Sonoko shook the box that was about to fall out of her hand and looked back with some concern.

She didn't have any good ideas for gifts. As long as the gift showed her heart, it would be felt.

"You can go anytime for a checkup or something like that. My appointment today is for the whole afternoon."

"Compared to these, I am more interested in the senior student that Natsume-san is going to visit."

His eyes were bright and he had heard a certain girl with a ball head mention the identity of visiting a patient. After marriage, Guangzi's face suddenly showed an expression of interest, and he spoke excitedly.

As if she had sensed her master's mood, little Catherine also climbed onto the head of the married senior sister. Her bald head was twisted into a pretzel shape, and she made a low "hissing" sound.

"Hey, is there anything different about that senior?"

Natsume Sonoko's expression tensed up, and she felt a strong shock coming towards her. Fortunately, she was not a country girl who had never seen the world, so she clenched her fists slightly and asked with some concern.

After marriage, the senior sister seemed to be very interested.

Thinking about it carefully, the injured senior student seemed to have said a lot of strange but well-intentioned words to her before.

For example, if Natsume is bullied or targeted by a certain Gilgamesh in Tokiwadai, she can help call people and make sure that Natsume Sonoko will not suffer easily.

It seems that even the seniors who have already graduated have a very bad impression of their own Shokuhou-senpai.

However, Natsume Sonoko had been feeling good until now, and had no intention of being bullied by Shokuhou-senpai, so it was natural for her to refuse.

"Of course there are differences. In every era, there are always people who shine like me in Tokiwadai."

"It seems that Natsume-san doesn't know much about what happened in Tokiwadai. This was a period of exciting factional fighting."
