Chapter 15: Hibiki Kawakami's Companions (4)
Hibiki Kawagami's ability is [Fluid Control], which is a fairly versatile ability.
A very simple way to explain it: in the normal state, the object has three states: solid, liquid and gaseous, and among them, the liquid state and the gaseous state are both fluid states, and the ability to [control] two-thirds of the state of matter can naturally do quite a lot of things.
As a result, the computational demands of this capability are terrifying. Basically, it's equivalent to computing power with dual superpowers at the same time.
However, combined with Kawa Kami's previous performance, it seems that he has completely mastered his abilities.
For example, when he rescued Saten's tears before, he manipulated the water molecules in the air and cleverly used them as prisms to deflect the light and make himself disappear from the field of view of others. This is the usage he has recently researched, its name is [Mirage], although it has the miraculous effect of stealth, but the disadvantage is that he can't move at will when he casts his ability, and it is the first time he has used this ability in front of people, and the result is that it is very good.
The two discipline inspection commissions are naturally not a problem, and they didn't even find the clues that Zuotian Tears were so close to him, which shows the success of his new trick [Mirage].
For another example, when fighting Mikoto Misaka, he skillfully used the power of fluid to deduce the electric current, or compressed the flowing water to a high degree for defense, all of which showed his excellent control as a superpower.
These are all written down quickly under the pen of the god of Sichuan.
He dragged a record board with the back of his still stabbing right hand, and held a ballpoint pen in his left hand to quickly write today's battle report. Although he is not left-handed, he can write very beautiful fonts with his left hand, and his left and right hands are equally flexible.
He's a researcher after all! Students have assignments, and of course a researcher like him needs to write an experiment report.
However, why not write it on your desk?
Because his location is in the kitchen.
Why in the kitchen?
Because he's going to make croquettes.
Why is he making croquettes with two hands?
I saw that the tip of the right finger of Kawajin Hibiki extended five crystal clear silk threads.
The threads hung down into the white porcelain bowl and swirled at high speed, and as it swirled, the pink pieces of meat were crushed and ground into minced meat in a field of pure white.
This is a technique called [Fluid Cutter].
In modern industry, steel is getting stronger and stronger, and if you want to cut steel, it is naturally very inefficient to use the "hard to hit" in ordinary people's thinking. At this time, [high-pressure waterjet] was born.
When the liquid is sprayed out in a small caliber, high pressure, or rapid manner, the slender stream of water will form an indestructible sharp waterjet, which can be of great help in cutting large industrial equipment.
Kawajin's fluid cutter is the same principle, by allowing the slender water to flow at high speed, in order to produce a strong cutting force, the ability to alternate five fingers makes the silk cutter quickly whirl, like a whisk, to crush the original large pieces of fine pork in the white porcelain bowl into a meat puree.
Although the name of the croquettes is Coke, the ingredients have nothing to do with Coke. Mash the meat and cooked potatoes into a puree, coat them with starch, spread them with egg wash, sprinkle them with breadcrumbs, and fry them. In this way, the golden meatloaf that is finally served on the table is a croquette. The prefix cola is a transliteration of the French word croquette.
However, there is a small problem here...... That is, the fluid cutter of the Kawajin is extremely sharp, it is a slender fluid waterjet that can be shredded even with steel, and it is self-evident what will happen if it comes into contact with the white porcelain bowl. However, the expected shredding of the bowl did not happen.
Although he was writing a report, Kawajin Hibiki also controlled the force precisely, so that the fluid cutter was retracted before it touched the bowl, and the structure of the white porcelain was not cut.
As Mikoto Misaka sighed before, Hibiki Kawajin also has a high degree of control over his abilities. Even the distraction of writing the report did not affect the accuracy of his ability.
After all, the Kamiya Research Institute is studying the [limit of the ability], to put it bluntly, it is the extent to which the ability can be used. He is more interested in how to improve the utilization of his abilities than in improving his level. As a result, a geek like Kawajin Hibiki was born.
"Hmm...... Speaking of which, let's include this paragraph as well. ”
In the evening, he met Mikoto Misaka and fought with him, during which he experienced the signature skill of the super electromagnetic cannon. It is the ability to use the principle of a magnetic coil to accelerate the coin to ultra-high speeds—about three times the speed of sound—to burst out with powerful attack power. If I use my fluid control to forcibly accelerate the coin to three times the speed of sound, I may be able to simulate the [Super Electromagnetic Cannon] in the result. Experimental conditions are hereby requested.
Kawajin thought so and added the last sentence to his report sheet.
"Brother Hibiki finished writing?"
Chiyuki Shimazaki, who had been waiting cautiously beside him, asked expectantly. Hibiki Kawajin is not the kind of person who is single-minded, and when he deals with multiple things at the same time, his efficiency decreases significantly, and if he finishes writing the report, he can devote himself to cooking!
Kawajin smiled, and the eyes under the red eyes were bent.
"Ah, no problem. Help me get it. Give me two minutes and I'll get them done. ”
As he said, Kawajin Hibiki also went all out, picked up a potato with both hands, and the two fluid cutters swept almost against the potato skin, and neatly peeled off the crust covered with dirt, revealing the fresh yellow inside. The fluid cutter brushes a few times, cuts it into uniform slices, puts it in a bowl ordinarily, covers it with plastic wrap, and Kawajin controls the gas in the bowl to heat up at a high speed, steames it, and fills the pot with cooking oil at the same time.
In cooking books, you often see a saying: control the oil temperature at how many degrees Celsius, this is very nonsensical, except for some specific countries, will anyone really develop an oil thermometer to measure the temperature?
Kawajin's ability is simply handy for this kind of thing, quickly controlling the temperature of the oil, and then concocting the same method of grinding cooked potatoes into mashed potatoes, and then mixing them with the meat puree and seasoning.
The process, which is quite troublesome for ordinary people, Kawajin made it with almost no effort, made one meatloaf after another, dipped it in starch and egg liquid, wrapped it in breadcrumbs, and directly slapped seven even meatloaf into the pot, listening to the sizzling sound inside, Shimazaki Chiyuki seemed to smell the sound of meatloaf.
This is one of the more common ways of thinking.
"It smells so good!"
"Ahaha...... Actually, there is no fragrance coming out yet! ”
Kawajin smiled, as if when it comes to his own affairs, Shimazaki Chiyuki is easy to look at himself, oops, it's really a great sense of companionship.
There are a total of four capable people here, among which Nakai said that he didn't need it, so there were 3 people, two for each person, and one was left for the director. Just right.
Kawajin Hibiki also distributed it like this, arranging the meatloaf one after another.
"Shimazaki, your share and Yushima's share."
"Ah, it's all mine? Thank you, Brother Hibiki! ”
"Forget it~ Give me my report, I have to go to the director to report in person."
With that, he left Chiyuki Shimazaki's sight, but the girl was now immersed in the crispy texture of the croquettes and the delicate ratio of meat to potatoes, and she couldn't help herself with happiness.
After all, if you have the most versatile ability, you can get the most delicious dishes if you cook at the optimal level.
Kawajin also took a bite of his own croquette and walked towards Director Kamiya's dedicated research room.
However, at the door, he stopped, took a deep breath, as if he had made an important choice, and then he knocked on the door of the institute.
"Who?"
"It's me, the director of Kamiya, Hibiki Kawakami."
"Oh oh oh, Kawajin-kun! Come in, come in, come in!! ”
