Chapter 71

The feasibility of thermal conversion

Academy City established the fourth thermal energy research institute.

The female researcher who received Natsume Enako was called Hirose Asuka. She had been in Academy City for seven or eight years.

It was also three years ago that she took over the research institute in front of her under the appointment of the Academy City Council. The work she had just started was to cooperate with other thermal energy research institutes to analyze pyrokinetic ability.

The pyrokinetic ability users are much stronger than these ability users of the same category. Ordinary lv3 pyrokinetic ability users can release high-temperature flames of more than 500 degrees.

The most powerful pyrokinetic ability users in Academy City can even easily reach the melting point of steel.

Even though the pyrokinetic ability users are extremely strong and there are a large number of research institutes cooperating, they still have not successfully produced lv5, so they turned to research other ability users of the same type.

Some research institutes turned to research low-temperature ability users, some to research heat-insulating ability users, Others are ability users who study heat transfer.

And Mr. Ito’s ability is heat transfer, which is the direction of the fourth Research Institute now, and is similar to Natsume Enako’s ability.

He can easily transfer heat from here to somewhere else, which is full of potential in all aspects, but the problem is also obvious, that is, the loss during the transfer process is too serious.

In a room in the Research Institute, Natsume Enako looked at a pile of documents in front of her with a little surprise, which recorded various research processes and results from the past three years, as well as speculations about ability users like Mr. Ito and Natsume Enako.

Although the personal reality developed through drugs and other means is created out of nothing, it is still inseparable from the real reality.

Generally speaking, energy usually refers to the sum of mechanical energy and internal energy, while temperature is the expression of the activity level between molecules in an object.

And the temperature increase in this type of ability is speculated to be through controlling this activity level, converting the kinetic energy at the molecular level into observable heat energy.

And cooling is to convert the manifested heat energy into kinetic energy between molecules, Without human control, some of this kinetic energy will be lost in irregular collisions between molecules.

“If these speculations are true, no wonder the temperature value I control has been difficult to increase, and it is still hovering around more than 100 degrees Celsius.”

“The energy between air molecules is limited, and with the loss, it is extremely difficult to improve it later in development.” (I am incompetent in physics, more imaginary than practical, and it is very troublesome to write novels based on physics)

Natsume Enako shook her head helplessly, but it was nothing. Natsume Enako had long felt that the temperature limit she controlled would not increase indefinitely.

However, the following content surprised Natsume Enako even more. The development at the molecular level reached a bottleneck, so it turned to the research at the atomic level, and the atomic level was completely part of the Academy City technology tree.

“Atomic-level research, is this really meaningful? It can’t be that a starting formula will take several years to study.”

Natsume Enako showed a look of disbelief in her eyes. This is different from studying atomic substances such as hydrogen, but studying atoms themselves.

Although it can create high-tech such as nuclear power plants in reality, But it seems unrealistic to put it on a human.

A 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 debatable. 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 do it.

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

Not to mention the development of derivative (lateral) abilities, from the above speculation about this type of ability (kinetic energy and thermal energy conversion), the practical level of thermal conversion directly makes someone unable to take their eyes off.

This has gone from speculation to reality, and there have been certain results.

From knowing how to use it to knowing its principle, even if it is just a guess, the gap is still very large, and this speculation can be reversely proven at the practical level.

Natsume Enako also wrote about the development of this thermal conversion ability in an unknown notebook, thinking that if this ability is developed, she would be awesome, But she didn’t expect that she would see similar research here today.

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

This smile didn’t last long, and a big hand patted him twice from behind.

“Ito, your experiment today can’t be said to be bad, but I always feel that something is wrong. The actual effect of the formula is at least one third weaker. Is there something wrong with the horizontal formula?”

Researcher Hirose Asuka looked at Natsume Enako with a solemn look on her face. According to her memory, the board of directors was already impatient with her progress. If she could not produce satisfactory results, she might reduce the staff and expenses next year.

“No, the formula of the airflow barrier is very useful. I just feel a little uncomfortable.” Natsume Enako explained hurriedly with an apologetic look on her face.

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

In fact, it was not physically uncomfortable at all, but the object of the development of this formula was not herself at all, and the applicability was a bit problematic.

Even if she had a little similarity with that Ito’s ability, she was already very powerful to be able to understand it as a formula that she could use in a short time.

Suddenly, Natsume Enako felt an inexplicable helplessness in her heart. While she was still studying the formula alone, there was also a group of guys in Academy City with an entire Research Institute and even more resources are squandered for her. Although the price is not small, as a guinea pig, she are studied all the time.

“See if you can copy some data, half a month is really not enough.” Natsume Enako couldn’t help thinking. Especially those knowledge about the practical level of thermal kinetic energy conversion, these are the top priority, and other things are nothing compared to this.

“Current research has only involved the conversion of kinetic energy into thermal energy, as for the conversion of thermal energy into kinetic energy, there is no progress, but it is enough for me.” Natsume Enako thought secretly.

And in terms of the conversion of kinetic energy into thermal energy, currently only copper and iron are involved, but basically they can defend against various bullets and cold weapons.

“Ms. Hirosue, I am very interested in thermal kinetic conversion recently. I think we should start this kind of research first.” Natsume Enako ran to the female researcher and solemnly expressed her opinion.

“No, Research Institute has its own plans, you just need to cooperate.” Hearing this righteous answer, Natsume Enako silently felt pity for this student named Ito. Although she seemed to be the center of the Research Institute, she surprisingly had no status at all.

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

Natsume Enako stayed in the Research Institute until very late. When the researchers started to go home one after another, she finally realized what was happening.

Today’s gains were unprecedented, saving Natsume Enako a lot of time that she should have spent on researching, sorting and reading materials.

At this moment, her mind was in a mess, but because it was already filled with things, she felt a little dizzy.

“I really have to thank Senior Shokuhou. I owe her a huge favor.” she stood up and stuffed a bunch of her notes into her schoolbag, planning to go back to the dormitory to continue reading.

Speaking of the dormitory, Natsume Enako suddenly realized and looked through the window at the dark and gloomy sky outside. She felt as if she had been doused with cold water.

She almost forgot that it was almost time to turn off the lights, and the Dorm Supervisor should be standing at the door ready to arrest people.

“It’s so late, do you want to take a taxi home?” Several researchers around him were chatting and talking in a relaxed manner, which made people envy the freedom of adults.

“Take a taxi? Taxis in Academy City are terribly expensive, I’d better walk back.”

Natsume Enako hurriedly walked out of the Research Institute, but she didn’t have the spare money to take a taxi.

At an intersection, Natsume Enako stretched out her hand and pushed and pulled forward, and a Cleaning Robot struggled to stop at someone’s feet.
