"Do you think we have been fooled?" Hidrifa gasped.

"What, you were fooled?" Eleanor asked tiredly.

"It's, this, damn, powered armor!" Hidrifa cursed intermittently.

They had no idea how many laps they had run along Fire Island... according to a rough recollection, it was probably several hundred laps, and that was even when they were equipped with bulky power armor.

Yes, bulky. Although power armor looks very powerful and domineering, and can also provide great defense and power bonuses, the price is a decrease in control and sensitivity.

Eggs that normal people can easily hold are always crushed accidentally when using power armor. I wanted to run to the front of the tree and stop accurately, but in the end I always failed to stop and crashed into the tree.

Also, although the body has obviously reacted, the actual action of the power armor is always half a beat slower.

Asker's explanation for this is that the decline in control stems from the power armor's bonus to its own strength.

For example, if a person can control the force of a punch at about 0.1N, then assuming that the power armor amplifies his force by 100 times, the force error becomes 10N.

In the same way, the decrease in sensitivity is also due to the longer reflection arc.

Normally, in humans, the brain sends a signal first, and then the body starts to move.

For a person wearing power armor, the brain first sends a signal, and then the body starts to move. Then the signal is captured by the servo system inside the power armor. The servo system issues instructions, and finally the corresponding parts of the power armor start to follow the action.

With so many extra links, the sensitivity naturally becomes slower, and sometimes the reaction time is even as high as 0.7 seconds. It wouldn't matter to an ordinary knight, but for leader Aske, who always has high demands and strict standards, it is simply an intolerable fatal weakness.

The solution to the former is very simple. Repeat and practice a lot to improve the operator's own control ability.

The solution to the latter problem is more complicated. One is to strengthen the awareness of prediction, that is, to calculate the advance amount to provide a buffer.

For example, when running to an emergency stop, the stop originally started 0.5 meters away from the finish line, but now it may be 1 meter earlier.

The supporting improvement measures are to improve the transmission sensitivity and signal transmission time of the servo system. To this end, Hood and Nora can only work together to improve the electrical signal system into a faster optical signal system and optimize the encoder. Conversion efficiency, and a lot of complex modifications that non-mechanical control majors can't understand.

Simply put, it sacrifices the stability of the power armor itself to improve the user's maneuverability.

Hilda and Eleanor suffered even more from this. There are more and more details to be mastered, and the originally obedient power armor has begun to "rebellion", making the two girls who have just gotten started almost going crazy.

Not to mention the "Trinity Tactics" and "Barbarian Tactics" they are still studying, even simple hidden second-stage attacks, or extreme emergency stops and changes of direction, etc., the movements that the body can easily perform are now It also becomes extremely difficult in power armor.

"All in all, you still have to practice." Asik concluded.

Eleanor and Sydliba stood up listlessly and walked towards the two powered armors again, preparing to start another practice.

Seeing that the two of them were in extremely low mood, Asik was also helpless. Of course he knew the shortcomings of exploiting the power of others, but now the two girls must master the driving of power armor as soon as possible in order to improve the overall survival probability of the team in the upcoming super war of expedition to the Holy See after the end of the empire's civil war.

"Remember." He said behind the two of them in a low voice, "It's not you who have to adapt to the power armor, but the power armor that adapts to you."

————————

The Wolf family envoys remained at Weisbach Palace.

After losing the knight fight, the nobles and knights in the principality looked at them much more friendly.

After all, there is no need to fear the weak.

More blatant temptations came one after another, and Viscount Heinrich was overwhelmed with dealing with them. He couldn't help but curse the Cangqing Sword mercenary group a hundred times in his heart.

He also wanted to scold Meyer, who lost to Aske. However, after Meyer failed to fulfill the contract, he returned the advance deposit to Envoy Wolfe early, and then ran away with his swordsmen.

Slip away...

He first came to the Richard Turner Swordsmen and apologized sincerely to the teacher - he finally understood what the shackles the teacher said were, and he also found the direction of progress and growth again, determined to be with the teacher and his former companions Bury the hatchet.

Richard Turner was so relieved by this that he wrote a poem at that time, which made the other swordsmen feel ashamed.

Facing Meyer, the former betrayer and the object of the teacher's sorrow, all they have ever done is curse and accuse.

However, Chief Asker just took action and taught Meyer how to behave again, causing the swordsmen to reflect on themselves in shame.

Sure enough, the chief is the chief after all. Even the swordsmanship has the effect of attracting people to do good. We are really ashamed of ourselves.

Then, the future cube swordsman ran to Asker and apologized sincerely to him.

"In the past, I really didn't know how high the sky was." Meyer shook his head calmly and said, "Now that I have been defeated by you, Chief, I understand the truth of 'my life is limited, but my swordsmanship is limitless'. I once thought I was invincible. That version of myself, now that I think about it, is simply ridiculous and despicable.”

"Yeah, it's good that you can understand in time." Asker was not surprised by this, because when he first dealt with Meyer in his previous life, Meyer was already like this normal.

On the other hand, this was the first time Asker had seen the young and energetic Meyer before, so he didn't have much ill feelings toward his arrogance.

"I hope I can come again to learn your clever tricks in the future." Meyer was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and reminded him, "Except for Viscount Heinrich himself, everyone among the Wolf family envoys is Extraordinary ones, please be careful.”

"Everyone?" Asik frowned.

"Yes, I have the 'Weakness III' sequence and can observe where other people's weaknesses are." Meyer said, "The weaknesses of ordinary people's bodies are only in the heart, abdomen, ribs, perineum, throat, etc."

"If you are a physical supernatural being, due to the strength of your physical body, you will have fewer weaknesses than ordinary people. If you are a spiritual supernatural person, the weaknesses in your temples and back of the head will be amplified, and hitting the head will have a greater negative impact on them. .”

"According to my long-term observation, except for Viscount Heinrich who leads the team, the weaknesses of all his attendants are very different from ordinary people. Therefore, it can be roughly concluded that these attendants are more or less extraordinary."

"So, can you tell whether it's the physics department or the mental department?" Asker asked. Since the other party had publicly informed the information, he did not hesitate to continue asking for useful details.

"They seem to be mostly spiritual ones." Meyer hesitated, "Also, I don't know if it's my imagination."

"On the way to Mingxing City, I seemed to see some of them talking to the field mice running along the edge of the field."

"dialogue?"

"Well, they seem to be communicating." Meyer said uncertainly. "Maybe I saw it wrong. They might just be teasing the animals."

"I understand." Ask nodded, "Thank you for informing me."

Meyer nodded and left. Ask looked at his back and heard Medea's voice coming from behind:

"Is it the 'rat' ability that Paige needs?"

"As far as I know, 'Rat I' can possess rats and carry out simple communication with rats. 'Rat II' can begin to influence the will of the rats and make them carry out the instructions issued by the transcendent."

"'Rat III' can even establish connections between multiple groups of rats, thereby controlling an entire army of terrifying rats. Of course, no matter how many there are, they are just rats after all, and their combat effectiveness will not be too strong, so there are very few people. Will be promoted to the level of 'Rat III'."

"Anyway, there is a high probability that he will have the ability of 'Rat I', right?" Medea confirmed, "In other words, there must be Hussites among them."

"At least according to my mind-reading results, what he said is indeed the truth." She shrugged and finally said.
