Abyssal Wanderer

Chapter 97 NO.0060: Ability Test

A workshop in the abandoned factory was transformed into a testing site by the organization. Jiang Zhou came here after recovering from his nerves.

He needs to have a more intuitive understanding of his current abilities.

The first is strength.

A solid steel bar about the thickness of two fingers was twisted into rebar by Jiang Zhou like a toy, and he didn't even feel much resistance during the period.

He casually weighed the steel bar in his hand, and only heard the sound of "whoosh" breaking through the air, Jiang Zhou threw it out suddenly.

With a muffled "click", the steel bar sank deeply into the concrete pier beside it, as if it should have been there in the first place.

Afterwards, Jiang Zhou sprinted to the concrete pier, and then punched...

"Wow!"

Even if he didn't use all his strength, the concrete pier that was used to test the power of the firearm was smashed into pieces by this punch. Numerous fissures spread around like lightning, and finally covered an entire pier as thick as two people hugging each other.

If it wasn't for the support of the steel structure inside, I'm afraid this punch could shatter it to pieces on the spot.

A world as fragile as ceramics...

Feeling the steel structure being bent under his fist, and the concrete shattered into powder, Jiang Zhou couldn't help but have such an idea in his mind.

Most of the buildings, utensils, and tools designed according to the standards of native humans are too fragile for his current strength.

At depth 1, although one's strength is great, it is still in the category of "human beings" or "land mammals".

But right now, his own strength and strength have already reached the level of some industrial-grade equipment.

With a little forceful stomping, most floor tiles can be crushed; similar to the door of an ordinary house, you only need to push hard to open it; even when you pick up a cup, you need to be careful, and you may crush it if you don’t pay attention in hand.

In other words, from now on, if he wanted not to hurt the ordinary people around him, he had to tighten his nerves all the time. Otherwise, it may be just an inadvertent and subconscious action, which will cause a tragic tragedy.

"The key is to control your emotions."

Seeing Liao Qi staring at the concrete pier in a daze, Booker, who probably guessed what he was thinking, said:

"Precise control over one's own strength is actually obtained along with adjustment and transformation. In theory, as long as you don't lose control of your emotions, generally speaking, there will be no major problems... There are many adjustment people who will go through deep meditation , or practice yoga to stabilize your mind.”

Imagine everyone around you as a weak baby - a baby with adult thinking ability, who may offend you, and who may overwhelm you and provoke you.

Imagine that you are in such a world, how cautious and restrained you need to be every day.

Many people will lose control of their emotions and can't help but slap the idiot in front of them.

It's just that a slap by an ordinary person can slap out at most one tooth of the opponent. As far as Jiang Zhou is concerned now, his slap might kill two people—one of the person who was slapped, and the other killed by the former's head that flew out like a cannonball.

And this kind of killing that doesn't want to kill people is likely to cause the adjusted person to gradually get used to the advantages of his own power over the native people, thus ignoring the control of power in daily life, and starting to go his own way with a superhuman body.

Commonly known as broken pot broken fall.

"In short, keep one principle in mind, always kill with a clear intention to kill."

Booker finally concluded this way.

Jiang Zhou nodded, and then drew his fist out of the broken concrete pier.

The skin on his fist is like a layer of rags, but under the skin, the subcutaneous armor called "Gift of Minerva" is not even scratched.

The improvement in defense ability mainly comes from it.

Covering 90% of the limbs and torso, apart from the head, it provides almost no dead angle protection for other vital parts of the body. At the same time, the light and extremely ductile plastic steel material will not have a great impact on the flexibility of movement.

And as for the specific defensive capabilities—calculated according to the parameters on the technology blueprint, a .45-caliber rifle bullet can only hit a slight depression on it, and a high-energy pulse weapon like the Scorpio needs to focus on the same target at the highest power. It takes about 1.5 seconds to break the defense.

In Jiang Zhou's era, it was basically the same as invulnerability - people who installed this kind of subcutaneous armor were like living kings in urban street fighting.

But in this day and age, it's still not enough.

Compared with those heavy alloy outer armors, the "Gift of Minerva" subcutaneous armor actually sacrificed considerable protection strength in order to ensure flexibility-only for individual weapons, similar to plasma weapons, Heavy firepower such as hot melt weapons and rail guns will definitely not be able to withstand it.

Not to mention far away, like the defensive power of the Aegis individual combat module on Booker, even if I flatter myself, I can't keep up with it-it is a defense that can survive a plasma bomb.

When encountering high-energy weapons, I can only rely on anticipation and maneuvering to deal with them.

In addition to other adjustments and transformations - bioelectronic lungs, Liao Qi's body can hold his breath for about half an hour, and he can gain a certain degree of underwater breathing ability.

The broad-spectrum energy core, the universal battery that can supply energy to all prosthetic bodies, can be charged only with a stable heat source - any stable heat source, even if the charger is placed on a gas stove, it is no problem .

"Sickle-foot" mantis knife, made of low-entropy alloy, strong and sharp. Whether it is used as a killing weapon or as a three-dimensional maneuvering tool, its efficiency is terrifyingly high.

And the last last...

Jiang Zhou stood still and closed his eyes.

He refocused on sensing the surrounding magnetic field.

Multi-use magnetic wax control system - the adjustment and transformation that gave him a new perception.

In fact, the ability given to him by this adjustment is not just the perception of magnetic fields...

Slowly raising his hand, the iron filings scattered around Jiang Zhou began to tremble slightly with his movements.

Then, not just iron filings. The iron nails, steel bars, and even the abandoned machine tools around him began to vibrate slightly.

As the surrounding metal vibrated more and more, Jiang Zhou's brows became more and more wrinkled. At the same time, many fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Finally, he clenched his hands and lifted them over his head, as he did when the conductor was leading the orchestra to close the beat at the end. And all metal products within five meters around him vacated with his movements.

Pausing in mid-air for a moment, they fell to the ground again.

Opening his eyes again, Jiang Zhou looked at the mess around him and didn't make a sound.

Not only the perception of the magnetic field, but also the ability to manipulate the magnetic field.

Of course, this is definitely not to the extent that the villain with the superpower of magnetic field manipulation in a certain series of old movies can extract the iron element from the human body from a distance, or directly dismantle the Golden Gate Bridge as a means of transportation.

In fact, rather than manipulating the magnetic field, it is better to say it is the rotation of the magnetic field—a kind of electromagnet implanted in the body affects the surrounding magnetic field, thereby achieving the effect of deflecting the magnetic field.

This process requires intense consumption of the energy in the broad-spectrum energy core, and both in terms of accuracy and output, there is a visible upper limit—anyway, there is definitely no way to be accurate enough to extract the iron element of the human body, and there is no way to get rid of it. It is impossible to raise the Golden Gate Bridge, or even raise the car as a bomb.

Roughly... think of it as a "magic hand" that only works on surrounding metal objects.

"It's just too difficult to control..."

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Jiang Zhou let out a long breath.

Previously, he planned to make the surrounding metal products float, and then revolve around himself like an asteroid. But in the end, just controlling them to float to a similar height at the same time is almost exhausting my mental strength.

Imagine that hundreds of thin threads are tangled into a mess, and you need to accurately identify the end and end of each thread, and then untie them one by one.

This roughly equates to the difficulty of precisely manipulating the magnetic field.

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much. For the ability to manipulate the magnetic field, Corrett also practiced for more than two years before entering the room."

At this time, Booker walked up to Jiang Zhou and comforted him.

"Then what is the approximate level of Mr. Corrett's 'entering the room'?"

Hearing what he said, Jiang Zhou couldn't help asking curiously.

"Uh... As I remember, he can directly deflect the bullets and rockets fired at him, of course, the speed or mass cannot be too exaggerated; he can accurately paralyze power armor without electromagnetic countermeasures; he can also use multiple weapons like a floating cannon ...

"Thinking about it now, it's a pity that he didn't burn a tactical memory back then."

Booker replied with some regret.

"Can you use tactical memory to adjust people's combat experience?"

Jiang Zhou asked in surprise.

"Of course, you can even buy it on the black market, but it's hard to come across it—only those who are short of money and quick-sighted will sell their battle memories. Of course, some guys who plan to wash their hands will also sell their memories. The body is used as a coffin book. There are also those that flow out from within the enterprise, which are generally of the best quality, mainly because they are rarely mixed with private goods.”

Hearing what he said, Jiang Zhou secretly wrote it down.

He didn't know if he had more than two years to practice slowly. Anyway, his ability to absorb tactical memory was far stronger than ordinary people, and a fool would not go if there was a shortcut.

"How do you feel now?"

Booker asked.

"Never felt so good."

Clenching and opening his fist, Jiang Zhou said.

Compared to Depth 1, how much more than doubling his combat power right now?

Seeing Liao Qi's confident expression, Booker nodded, and said:

"Then it's better to hit the sun than choose the day, let's try connecting the universal printer now?"

Jiang Zhou was at a loss for words for a moment, but before he could say anything, suddenly his eyes changed as if recalling something.

"That's right, choosing a day is worse than bumping into it."

He immediately nodded and said:

"But let's go through the process first, and wait until I finish the mental test. I'm not in a hurry now."

At the same time, in Tartarus, those who had participated in the deep dive a week ago were suddenly called out by the company's security personnel.

Everyone, including Jiang Zhou, Qianxia Ying, and 136, was notified that they needed to return to the third deep dive compartment and conduct another deep dive—a deep dive hosted by Cerberus to verify the previous dive. The accident really had nothing to do with them.
