The solemn and silent black coffin slowly closed, and Jiang Zhou was once again exposed to pure darkness.
This is his third or second adjustment. Jiang Zhou, who already had previous experience, took a long breath, relaxed his body, and waited quietly for the uncomfortable experience.
However, when the adjustment started, he realized that the intensity of the adjustment in Depth 2 was not at the same level as that in Depth 1.
In an instant, he felt like he had transformed into the cow in the story of Pao Ding's work on the cow - all the joints in his body were cut open by the sharpness of the moment, and then... the bones were pulled away.
Although he blocked the pain immediately, the feeling of his own bones being pulled out of his body one by one still made his hair stand on end.
As each bone is pulled out, a numbing sensation will be felt in the original place, as if electricity is flowing through it.
Immediately, a new skeleton was reconstructed in his own body out of thin air - the material was strong and light, and the structure was stable and flexible. No longer just driven by the contraction and relaxation of muscles, this new skeleton itself has powerful power.
At the same time, a hot and sticky feeling enveloped his whole body. They slowly penetrate into the skin, and then begin to gradually solidify and form like asphalt...
Jiang Zhou felt his chest being opened, and a cold hand forcefully pulled out both of his lungs, replacing them with two shriveled replacements about the size of golf balls.
Immediately afterwards, a heavy, hot thing, beating as strongly as a heart, filled the empty space in the chest.
As for the changes in his brain, almost instantly, the world in Jiang Zhou's eyes was no longer completely dark. At this moment, he felt the existence of the magnetic field - truly and truly, he felt the magnetic field surrounding him.
Their arrangement follows a certain beautiful rhythm that induces feelings of joy.
Like a fugue, like a palindrome poem.
However, Jiang Zhou could not use the existing human language system to describe to others what he felt - language is born out of social consensus. For example, only after many people have seen and tasted apples, When the word "apple" is spoken, everyone knows what each other is referring to.
At this moment, Jiang Zhou's perception of the magnetic field was a brand-new perception that native humans had never had before.
Therefore, even if he looked through the language systems that humans had in the past, he could not find a suitable way to describe everything he could feel.
Perhaps compared to native humans, those migratory birds that rely on magnetic induction navigation and can fly thousands of kilometers to migrate are more similar to what I feel at this moment.
If this kind of perception is a natural evolution of human beings, then human civilization is likely to have completed the discovery of Maxwell's era a hundred years earlier than Newtonian mechanics, thereby establishing a completely different technological tree.
No, not only the technology tree, but also the human social form may be completely changed.
At least, Jiang Zhou could not imagine how much advantage he would gain when conducting research related to electromagnetism after acquiring this kind of perception.
This is equivalent to the advantage a sighted person has over a blind painter, or a hearing person over a deaf composer.
Upgrade path...
It was only now that Jiang Zhou truly felt why the promotion path was called the promotion path.
In the legend, the evolutionary path planned by Janus for mankind...
…………
Compared with the adjustment of Depth 1 of Icarus Path, the time required for Depth 2 adjustment is slightly longer.
About half an hour later, the black coffin floating in mid-air was reopened, and a naked figure fell from it.
With a muffled sound of "bang", the man knelt on one knee and fell to the ground, his head slightly lowered, and he made a fist with one hand and hammered the ground.
In fact, with Liao Qi's adjustment and modification of depth 1, at this height, he can stand firmly even if he falls on two steel wires.
However, because this adjustment and transformation involved subcutaneous armor, he took off all his clothes. Coming out naked like this, he squatted down to cover himself when he fell.
Secondly, in fact, he has wanted to do this kind of superhero style for a long time.
"Liao Qi, how are you? Are you okay?"
Seeing that the adjustment was completed, Booker, who had already activated the Aegis module, asked extremely cautiously from a distance.
At the same time, all the weapons on his body were already aimed at Liao Qi, just waiting to subdue him as soon as there was any problem.
Or eliminate.
Jiang Zhou's expression changed drastically as he landed.
He closed his eyes and gritted his teeth. After waiting for a long time, he reluctantly raised his right hand tremblingly.
"Let me take a break first. It's really too..."
His voice was dry.
"Too bright...too noisy...too painful..."
He struggled to find the right words in his mind, but no matter how he said it, Jiang Zhou felt that those fragmented descriptions could not accurately describe his true feelings at the moment.
Compared with the rhythmic magnetic field he felt in the multi-purpose printer, when he came to the outside world, the surrounding magnetic field was so chaotic that he felt uncomfortable.
It comes from the instruments around you, from Booker not far away, from yourself, and even from... the magnetic field of the earth itself.
If the magnetic field he felt when he was in the multi-function printer was a very regular staff, then the magnetic field he felt now was like the Gordian knot that could never be opened without a rope end. .
An extra dimension of dense information impacted Jiang Zhou's consciousness, making him feel mentally overloaded.
And more importantly, this kind of perception is like the feeling of hot, cold, dry and wet, and there is no way to actively block it.
It is foreseeable that from now on, as long as he acts from Liao Qi's perspective and is in a conscious state, his induction of the magnetic field will always be a part of his thinking and perception.
It’s no wonder that adjustment and transformation can lead to a sharp drop in mental index...
At this moment, Jiang Zhou, even if he had an extra brain to share the mental pressure, would feel bursts of madness.
Not to mention those ordinary people.
People with a slightly weaker will might be driven crazy by this feeling in an instant.
"Don't worry too much about that new perception now."
At this time, Booker on the side spoke:
"It's like 'defocusing' your eyes, diverting your attention away from the perception of the magnetic field, and first feel the other abilities you have acquired."
After that you will get used to it.
He said so.
Jiang Zhou nodded in agreement.
Indeed.
Just like when you realize that you are breathing, the act of breathing will switch from "automatic transmission" to "manual transmission".
Only by diverting his attention away from this newly acquired sense can he make it affect his mental state as little as possible.
After calming down, Jiang Zhou took the clothes from the hand of the robot on the side.
And when he was halfway through wearing it, he realized that the clothes had shrunk a lot compared to his current figure.
Jiang Zhou remembered that Liao Qi's height was 178cm, but now when he stood up, he felt that he was almost two meters tall.
Not only his height, but also his arm length and shoulder width. After the adjustment of the Talos-type power frame, Liao Qi's figure has now changed from being slightly thin before to being tall and burly now.
Looking at his whole body through the surveillance camera on the side, Jiang Zhou felt that Liao Qi's body was good enough for heavyweight boxing at his time.
Of course, this is just to say that the figure looks good enough... If he were to fight, it is estimated that the power of Liao Qi's current punch would be enough to blow the opponent's head like a watermelon.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhou tried to punch two quick jabs into the air in front of him.
Accompanied by two crisp "pop" sounds, the sonic boom ring... naturally did not fire out.
This is not something the human arm structure is capable of.
Even if it could be done, it would be a waste of engineering.
but……
With a thought, the two "scythe-footed" mantis knives buried in his arms popped out instantly.
With this, even with his bare hands, he is enough to tear apart enemies like Silver Skull.
I'll update early tomorrow. I'll go to bed today.
