【字幕滚动】REVERSE OPERATION: SALT-BAKED CHICKEN FOR EMBEDDED ENGINEERS

【英】Scene: A kitchen counter at 16:47. Winter light, low angle, cuts across a whole chicken resting on ceramic tile.
【中】场景：厨房操作台，16:47。冬日的低角度光线，切过置于瓷砖上的整鸡。

【英】Narration: Standard protocol suggests brining for moisture. We will perform a reverse operation: desiccation.
【中】叙述：标准流程建议盐水浸泡以保水。我们将执行反向操作：脱水。

【英】Step 1: Pat the chicken surface until the skin takes on a matte, paper-like texture. No moisture reflects light.
【中】步骤1：拭干鸡皮表面，直至呈现哑光、纸张般的质地。无水分反射光线。

【英】Visual Cue: The translucent sheen of raw skin disappears under a clean kitchen towel. It now absorbs the 4500K LED light.
【中】视觉提示：生皮半透明的光泽在厨房纸下消失。此刻它吸收着4500K的LED光。

【英】Step 2: Instead of stuffing aromatics into the cavity, we embed them subcutaneously. A needle, a length of kitchen twine.
【中】步骤2：不将香料填入内腔，而是皮下嵌入。一根针，一段厨用棉线。

【英】Node Expansion: Ginger filaments,沙姜 filaments, tied to the twine. Thread through the gap between skin and breast meat. A network of flavor is woven, not placed.
【中】节点展开：姜丝，沙姜丝，系于棉线。穿过鸡皮与胸肉间的缝隙。一张风味网络被编织，而非放置。

【英】Lighting Shift: The sun dips. We switch to under-cabinet warm light (2700K). The chicken’s color warms from pale pink to a faint gold. This is not cooking; this is color calibration.
【中】光线切换：日落。转为橱柜下暖光（2700K）。鸡身的颜色从淡粉校准为浅金。这不是烹饪，是色彩校准。

【英】Core Operation: Salt baking, but the medium is not coarse salt. It is a 1:1 mixture of salt and dried, powdered 黄泥 (from a Zhejiang riverbank, an engineer’s precise ratio).
【中】核心操作：盐焗，但介质非粗盐。是盐与干透的黄泥粉（取自浙江河岸，工程师的精确配比）1:1的混合物。

【英】The paste must have the specific gravity and viscosity of a certain solder paste. It should droop, but not flow, from the spatula.
【中】泥浆必须具有特定焊锡膏的密度与粘度。应从刮刀上垂落，而非流动。

【英】Encase the chicken completely. No contours remain. It becomes a smooth, ovoid geological object. A firmware shell.
【中】完全包裹鸡身。不留轮廓。它变成一个光滑的卵形地质物体。一个固件外壳。

【英】Baking is re-flashing. 160°C for 80 minutes, not a degree more, not a minute less. The thermal mass of the shell creates a uniform, adiabatic environment. Moisture is driven inward, not outward.
【中】烘烤即重新烧录。160°C，80分钟，一度不多，一分不少。外壳的热质量创造一个均匀的绝热环境。水分被向内驱动，而非向外。

【字幕滚动】BREAKING THE SHELL: DATA READOUT

【英】The shell cracks with a sound like stepping on dry pine needles. The released steam carries a scent spectrum: mineral, faintly metallic (from the iron in the clay), and the sharp, high note of 沙姜.
【中】外壳碎裂，声如踩踏干松针。释放的蒸汽携带气味频谱：矿物味，微弱的金属味（来自泥土中的铁），以及沙姜尖锐的高音。

【英】The skin has transformed. It is now a taught, amber membrane, with a fine grain like the surface of a well-soldered circuit board. No fat glistens. It has been rendered into the texture itself.
【中】鸡皮已转化。它现在是一层紧绷的琥珀色薄膜，纹理细腻如焊接良好的电路板表面。无脂肪闪烁。它已被渲染为质地本身。

【英】The meat fibers run in clear, parallel lines. When pulled apart, they separate along natural seams with minimal resistance. The juice that wells up is clear, not cloudy, with a viscosity close to a light syrup.
【中】肉纤维呈清晰、平行的线条。撕开时，它们沿自然接缝分离，阻力极小。涌出的汁水清澈，非浑浊，粘度接近轻质糖浆。

【英】The subcutaneous network has dissolved. Only faint, greenish-gold traces of 沙姜 oil map the original pathways under the skin.
【中】皮下网络已溶解。只有沙姜油留下的微弱、绿金色的痕迹，标示着皮下的原始路径。

【英】On the plate, under neutral white light (4000K), the color contrast is defined: deep amber skin against off-white meat. The visual weight is balanced at a ratio of approximately 1:3.
【中】盘中，中性白光（4000K）下，色彩对比度被定义：深琥珀色皮 vs 灰白色肉。视觉重量以约1:3的比例平衡。

【英】The remaining half-bowl of salty clay mixture is on the counter, already cooling. Its surface is cracking in a hexagonal pattern. I am considering its thermal properties, and whether it could be used as a temporary heat sink for tomorrow’s overclocking test…
【中】剩下的半碗盐泥混合物在台面上，正冷却。其表面正裂开成六边形图案。我在考虑其热学性质，以及它是否可作为明日超频测试的临时散热垫… 🔧 → 🌡 → ?
