Infinite Sun in the East China Sea

Chapter 193: Clothes of Restraint
When taking Xiangzi out of the factory, Xu Feng gave her his space bag.

After strengthening the Swallow-Swallow Fruit with storage capabilities, he no longer needed this space bag with a volume of only 3 cubic meters.

This item was previously used by Tifa.

After Xiangzi strengthened her telekinesis, Xu Feng felt that she also needed a storage space to carry equipment that could make her telekinesis more lethal, so he simply gave her this obsolete equipment.

This space bag contains a large mortar with a caliber of 150 mm and ten special shells.

——Miniature nuclear shells!

A miniature nuclear artillery shell with an equivalent of approximately 5000 tons.

Shoko's enhanced mental scanning skill is very suitable for weapons like mortars. She can launch attacks in a parabolic trajectory in places where the enemy cannot see or attack her. Her telekinesis can also adjust the trajectory of the mortar, further improving her accuracy; but the lethality of ordinary artillery shells is slightly insufficient for her now.

The power of nuclear shells can greatly increase her lethality.

Xu Feng has not yet planned to popularize nuclear bombs within the East China Sea team. This type of weapon has too much destructive power and can easily injure oneself by mistake, but he does not mind letting Xiangzi have a few.

"A mortar launching a nuclear bomb...it's a bit too crazy no matter how you think about it!"

Shouko used telekinesis to lift a small nuclear warhead and whispered softly, "Rumor has it that the killing range of this type of weapon even exceeds its range!"

As an islander, she is particularly afraid of this kind of weapon.

Xu Feng smiled and shook his head. "That won't happen. This mortar's range is thirty kilometers. If you use telekinesis to accelerate it, its ultimate range could even reach hundreds of kilometers. As for the power of this thing, its true lethal radius is only about one kilometer."

"One kilometer?" Shoko was stunned.

Xu Feng said calmly, "Don't overestimate the killing range of nuclear bombs. Space is three-dimensional, and the killing range is the cube of the equivalent. The killing range of a 5000-ton equivalent nuclear bomb is actually only ten times that of a 5-ton equivalent explosive."

"This one-kilometer lethal radius only applies to ordinary people. A nuclear bomb's killing range is even smaller for stronger individuals. For example, when dealing with monsters of the Abyssal level, only by dropping a nuclear bomb of this magnitude near them and detonating it can we have a chance of killing them."

"That's why I prepared this weapon for you. You can use telekinesis to continuously adjust the trajectory of the warhead's flight, and then directly control the fuse to detonate at the appropriate location. This is where conventional methods of use cannot reach."

Conventional missiles can only change their trajectories a few times, and it is extremely difficult to lock onto small, high-speed moving targets.

It cannot be as flexible as telekinetic guidance.

Xu Feng suggested, "Actually, your telekinesis is already very powerful. This weapon will only slightly enhance your ability to kill groups. Just spend some time training a few times and you'll be fine. From now on, you should focus your main energy on developing other aspects of your telekinesis."

"Also, the transforming mecha I'm going to develop will have an energy shield. It has a pretty good defense against nuclear weapons and can probably reduce the killing range of a nuclear explosion by more than half. This can also be used in combat."

Shoko nodded.

She now thought of two ways to use these nuclear warheads. One is to use a cannon to shoot the shells, use telekinesis to adjust the flight of the warheads, and attack distant targets; the second is to directly use telekinesis to throw the warheads out and attack nearby targets.

These two methods of using telekinesis are simpler than the skills she developed and are very easy to operate.

Telekinesis is a very complex enhancement.

In the process of strengthening telekinesis, Shoko discovered that from D-level to double D-level, and from C-level to double C-level, telekinesis mainly increased the coverage, and only secondarily the intensity; while from double D-level to C-level, the main focus was on strengthening the intensity of telekinesis, and the coverage did not increase much.

By strengthening telekinesis to level B, and adding the influence of enhanced mental strength, Shoko's current telekinesis can already lift materials weighing about 500 kilograms. The range where this intensity can be fully maintained is 100 meters. From 100 meters to about 1500 meters, it will decay to one tenth of the original range, and the final range that can produce an impact is 20 kilometers.

This figure doesn't sound high.

But this ability does not require much development. Simply throwing things can already unleash extremely strong destructive power.

When using telekinesis of this intensity to control a light flying needle, the flying needle only needs an acceleration distance of one meter to reach one kilometer per second. If it continues to obtain telekinetic acceleration within the full intensity range, the maximum speed can reach ten thousand meters per second.

This is not the maximum flight speed of the flying needle, but the speed at which Shoko can maintain high-frequency emission.

Limited by her nerve reaction speed, she can currently shoot out 12 flying needles of this strength per second.

According to Xu Feng's estimation, if Xiangzi activates the gene lock, the speed at which she throws flying needles can be increased to more than fifty shots per second!
Although the power of flying needles at this speed is slightly weaker than that of the Gauss sniper rifle, it is very flexible and can turn quickly. As long as it locks on the target, it can basically hit the target.

Even if the target can move at supersonic speed, she can easily hit the target's vital parts such as eyes, throat, heart, etc.

With this basic skill alone, Shoko can wipe out a reinforced battalion of super soldiers whose individual strength reaches the limit of human strength within a minute.

This simple and mindless "throwing things" using telekinesis can not only be used for attack, but also has many auxiliary functions.

500 kg of telekinesis allows Shoko to fly easily and gain an acceleration of about 9G until her flight speed reaches subsonic speed. After using simple equipment to reduce the resistance during flight, she can fly at supersonic speed.

She can also use telekinesis to control objects such as silk threads, mucus, and toxins, and use these objects to control targets.

In terms of defense, Shoko can use telekinesis to create a deflection field within a kilometer radius around her.

If live ammunition weapons enter that range, they will be deflected by her telekinesis, making it difficult for them to hit her.

Also due to the limitation of nerve reaction speed, her defensive ability can either be used to target a small number of attacks, deflecting physical attacks such as bullets, artillery shells or missiles so that they cannot hit her; or deflect a large number of attacks in a range, but if the enemy calculates the lead time well, it is possible to hit her.

And these are just the most basic applications of telekinesis...equivalent to throwing stones.

Combined with her understanding of mechanical structure, human body structure, etc., she can do much more.

Shoko intends to develop this kind of skill.

For example: Any explosive with a fuse installed can be detonated by her in an instant as long as she notices it after it enters a 20-kilometer range centered on her; even explosives without a fuse can be detonated by her after it enters a 1-kilometer range of her.

Of course, a considerable part of the credit for Shoko's ability to do all this is due to her mental scanning skill.

Without mental scanning, many of her operations would be greatly reduced.

Her one-on-one combat abilities weren't particularly strong on the Donghai team, inferior to Xu Feng and Park Changhao, but her combat prowess in complex environments was truly formidable. In the coming months, Xiangzi would not only develop her own telekinetic abilities but also assist Xu Feng in crafting another piece of "explosive equipment"—the restraint suit.

Simply put, it is a simplified version of the magic tuxedo.

Shoko once spent a C-level side story to exchange for the spy costume from Jackie Chan's movie "The Tuxedo". The strength of this prop is very average. The main god sells it for such a high price purely because it has the two abilities of "anti-gravity" and "optical invisibility".

Apart from those two abilities, the only remaining ability is to influence the wearer through the nervous system, allowing the wearer to possess multiple skills and develop physical qualities beyond that of ordinary people.

Xu Feng planned to imitate the "Restraint Clothes" that only had the ability to stimulate strength and control the body to use various abilities. It was not difficult to imitate this clothes when there was no need to consider the two advanced abilities of "anti-gravity" and "optical invisibility".

His purpose is simple: to control the wearer and allow newcomers or plot characters to become helpers of the East China Sea team.

The control authority of the normal version of the 'Magic Tuxedo' lies in the hands of the wearer himself, while the highest control authority of the 'Restraint Clothes' created by Xu Feng lies in the hands of him and Xiangzi.

The name "restraint" also comes from this.

As long as he prepares enough "restraint garments", every time he encounters a plot character in the future, he will have an extra soldier under his command who will absolutely obey orders, be able to burst out the limit of ordinary people's strength, have very accurate shooting skills, and have extremely strong fighting skills.

The 'soldiers' obtained by this special troop explosion mode are far less powerful than 'Destroyer Robots', but as long as they are used properly, they can definitely play a greater role than 'Destroyer Robots'.

Xu Feng didn't plan to spend too much energy on this set of equipment, so he left most of the more complicated work to Xiangzi.

He has too much to do on his own.

Even the time for 'practicing' the Highest Yoga Tantra must be compressed.

Xu Feng needs to prepare a large nuclear fusion reactor for himself, which is related to the charging efficiency and normal attack strength of the Yata Mirror.

During the time of his last exchange, he had used enough energy to test the upper limit of the magical legendary weapon, the Eight-foot Mirror.

The maximum output power of the Yata Mirror is 3.8×10^14J per second.

——Converted into TNT equivalent, it is about 90,000 tons.

It can store enough energy to support full power output for about 30 seconds.

But when it is half charged, most of the mirror surface will glow with golden light, and the overall temperature will continue to rise, so the weapon can no longer be stored in the Swallow Factory; when it is charged for about 20 seconds, it will even emit a temperature of thousands of degrees, making it impossible to touch.

According to Xu Feng's idea, this weapon should store enough energy to burst out at full power for about 10 to 15 seconds.

If it is too little, there will be a lack of energy during combat; if it is too much, it will no longer be able to absorb the excess energy in the reactor and will no longer be able to control the reactor.

It is difficult for normal reincarnations to feed this legendary magic weapon... Even if the internal force is strengthened to extract the most efficient energy, it is difficult to exert the power of the Yata Mirror. It can only shoot out a beam of light with moderate power. It is okay to deal with ordinary ghosts, but against creatures with physical form, it is probably equivalent to a D-level laser weapon.

If you really want this weapon to be powerful, you have to spend time on side quests to exchange expensive high-level energy stones from the main god.

According to Xu Feng's estimation, it would take an energy stone from a C-level side storyline to allow the Yata Mirror to unleash its full power for a few seconds.

Xu Feng managed to equip the Yata Mirror with a fission reactor that could provide a large amount of energy, allowing this item to slightly exert its corresponding power.

However, the fission reactor has not yet reached the upper limit of the Yata Mirror. His short-term goal is to create a large fusion reactor with an output power a hundred times that of the fission reactor to speed up the charging speed of the Yata Mirror.

Even if the energy in the mirror is completely exhausted, the Yata Mirror can still output for a long time by relying on the ultra-high power of the fusion reactor.

The process was not smooth. Although Xu Feng had exchanged the complete blueprints of the large fusion reactor from the main god, and had the ability of the Swallowing Fruit to help him achieve various BUG-level processing, he still encountered many difficulties in manufacturing the large fusion reactor.

At one point, he wanted to abandon controlled fusion reactors and build large-scale fission reactors - at worst, the quality would not be enough, so the quantity would be enough.

But after careful consideration, he gave up the mentality of giving up and continued with reverse engineering.

In addition to fusion reactors, his other research direction is to create a "biological computer" based on demon cells, and to create a "supernatural energy operation circuit" in the biological computer, and finally to fuse them to create a large computer driven by supernatural energy.

The computing power of this computer is not great and cannot be compared with a quantum computer; but when it is fused with the power of the Swallow-Swallow Fruit, it is more convenient to use.

Moreover, this kind of computer can effectively assist him in operating his extraordinary energy.

At present, a prototype of this "biological computer" has been produced.

This prototype can already speed up his research in other areas, which is one of the reasons why Xu Feng did not give up on continuing to study controlled nuclear fusion.

On the fortieth day of this return.

Xu Feng and Xiangzi created the original version of the "Restraint Clothes"

They didn't make any fancy tuxedos.

The most basic 'Restraint Clothes' are mesh-shaped, woven from the memory metal 'Wapo Alloy', with a core made of liquid metal CPU.

This thing was compressed into a rifle grenade by Xu Feng.

Just aim at the target and pull the trigger, it will spread out in mid-air like a fishing net, cover the target, and automatically fit the target's nerves to control the target.

The materials needed to produce this thing are very few. All of them are materials that Xu Feng can synthesize using the Swallow Swallow Fruit. The processing difficulty is also extremely low. Thousands of "Restraint Clothing" grenades can be produced in the blink of an eye.

Advanced versions of this clothing are equipped with protective materials such as natural silk, which can effectively protect against bullets fired from gunpowder weapons like a tights.

They will become essential equipment for the newcomers of the Donghai team.

Xu Feng is even considering giving them away for free...
