(This chapter has many settings, but they are all necessary career settings, so please read it patiently)
Before introducing the types and characteristics of individual mechas in detail, we have to mention the difference between native superpowers and technology-enabled superpowers.
First of all, I have introduced warlocks before and also talked about the classification of warlock types. Some people may wonder why there are no warlocks who can use mental power to control the attack of objects, which is often called an 'object controller'.
The answer is simple.
Because in this universe, controlling objects with mental power is only the most basic way to use mental power. Any warlock can use his own mental power to control the movement and attack of objects. This is a basic method that everyone knows, so there is no need to list it separately. A career comes out.
So, is it possible to control objects as long as you have mental power?
Actually, it's not...
The pilot also has mental power, but the pilot cannot control objects. Not only can the pilot's mental power not be able to control objects, but the pilot's mental power also has no affinity for any element, no control over puppets, and no unique sensing of beasts... Yes. Said that apart from improving one's own mental firewall and making neural connections, the pilot's mental power is almost useless.
As to why this phenomenon occurs, some people have already studied it and drawn conclusions.
Research has proven that although the mental power of the pilot and the mental power of the warlock are both mental powers, they do not belong to the same kind. The mental power of the pilot cannot be used like an arm like the mental power of the warlock, and cannot be controlled subjectively by the pilot. Under operation, it is detached from the body and is only suitable for consumption when it is connected to the nerves of mechas or other mechanical creations.
Warlocks are just the opposite. Their mental power can be released externally, and their development of mental power can be said to be to the extreme. There are all kinds of strange ways, and various methods emerge in endlessly. But correspondingly, the warlock's mental power is connected with the mechanical nerves. The effectiveness will be very poor, and the higher the mental power, the worse the mechanical synchronization rate. In experiments, there were even cases where senior warlocks piloted mechas and could not even coordinate basic movements.
Gradually, warlocks, pilots, and mechanics automatically distinguished the two types of spiritual power.
Warlocks still call their mental power spiritual power, while the pilot's mental power is called 'sub-mental power' by them.
...It is not difficult to tell from the title that the warlocks actually look down on the pilots. They believe that without mechas and machines, and without the technology of neural connection, the so-called "sub-mental power" of the pilots would have no use. , at the same time, naturally there is no qualification to compare with them.
As for the Pilot... maybe because they are all engaged in scientific research, they have not expressed much opinions on this kind of slightly discriminatory name. Internally, they all use their own usage. They call the warlock's mental power the same name. Mental power, the mental power of the pilot is called mechanical mental power.
In a similar situation, there are also genetic warriors who are technologically oriented superpowers like Pilot.
Most genetic medicines for genetic warriors are extracted and developed by biologists from the bodies of cosmic behemoths. After success, they are injected into the body of the person who has undergone transformation, destroying the person's original genetic sequence and integrating it into the behemoth's genes. Reorganization, this process itself, has a very high mortality rate. After the transformation is successful, the genetic warriors will be more or less affected by the genes of the giant beasts and acquire some strange habits.
For example, if a genetic warrior accepts the genetic modification of a python, then while he gains strength and the advantages of an animal like a python, he is likely to be affected by the hibernation habits of a python. In winter, I feel groggy and lazy.
To put it bluntly, ordinary people are ordinary people no matter what. If they want to gain enough power to compete with superpowers, they must pay a high price and endure impacts that are unbearable for ordinary people.
For example, the pilot's high dependence on mechas; such as the genetic warrior's changing habits and high mortality rate.
This is the price of gaining power.
Of course, this world is fair. Despite the irreparable disadvantages of the two major professions, it also gives the two major professions some special advantages.
Let’s talk about the genetic warriors first.
While being infected with the habits of giant beasts, genetic warriors also have a high probability of acquiring an innate ability of giant beasts. This innate ability is usually very powerful and can be used as a life-saving trump card, which greatly enhances the survivability of genetic warriors. and strength.
Let them have relatively top-notch combat effectiveness among the same level, especially at low levels. It can be said that they are proud of the rest. Even native superpowers such as warriors and warlocks have to temporarily avoid the edge, and they are quite strong.
And Pilot... is more interesting.
Under normal circumstances, in the superpower system, higher-level superpowers can sense the strength of the energy contained in the bodies of superpowers lower than themselves. This is true for warriors, warlocks, and genetic warriors.
The only exception is Pilot.
The pilot's mechanical mental power does not belong to the energy category that can be sensed by superpowers.
This is true no matter how high the level is.
To put it bluntly, as long as the mecha is not exposed, the pilot is no different from ordinary people in the eyes of other superpowers, except that he is stronger.
Don't underestimate this seemingly useless ability.
Just because of the inability to sense, there are too many pilots, creating too many classic cases of going deep behind enemy lines and pretending to be pigs to eat tigers.
When Lin Jie was performing missions in the army, he would often turn into the Sixth Man and sneak into enemy lines disguised as an ordinary person. The effect was... no one made a sound even after being beaten.
Okay, the superpower profession is almost introduced, let’s get back to the story.
In Lin Jie's Plan B, the reason for having such a cheap high-tech suit was also considered.
The first is the price.
After buying a top-of-the-line general-level individual mecha, he didn't have enough money left to buy another mecha, but if he bought a high-tech battle suit, he would even have some surplus.
It can be regarded as a deposit for accepting missions after becoming a hunter.
Secondly, the high-tech suit can be worn on standby and is not heavy in quality. It can be completely hidden under the coat. In times of crisis, as long as you exert force, the high-tech suit will automatically activate to provide you with strength, even if you are Even without armed individual mechanical armor, it also has a certain ability to protect itself.
"The highest one is only over three million, which is much more cost-effective than biological armor and symbiote armor..." Lin Jie flipped through the web page and murmured with a smile.
There are four types of individual mechas. In addition to high-tech armors, there are also mechanical armors with multiple combat methods, strong defense, and balanced far and near capabilities, biological armors that incorporate genetic technology, and very rare symbionts. Battle armor.
Lin Jie also considered the latter two, but after careful consideration, he still felt that high-tech suits were more suitable for him.
Because what he is best at is fighting with mechanical armor.
Biological armor cannot be armed with mechanical armor at the same time. To put it bluntly, if you want to wear mechanical armor, you must take off the biological armor.
But high-tech suits are not used.
Although they cannot be activated at the same time, the high-tech suit can indeed be armed with the mechanical suit at the same time.
In this comparison, high-tech suits are obviously much more convenient.
As for the symbiote armor... to be honest, it was too rare and Lin Jie didn't know much about it. There weren't even many people selling it on the shelves, so Lin Jie just ruled it out.
"A battle suit, a mecha..."
After reading it carefully, Lin Jie decided to adopt plan B.
Because the suit can be automatically adjusted according to the wearer's body shape and does not require special customization, Lin Jie first placed an order for a suit, then switched back to the mechanical suit interface and found the mecha he had selected previously. .
In contrast, the mechanical armor is more troublesome, because in addition to optional accessories, Lin Jie also has private customization needs for additional configurations, and there are many details that need to be explained clearly to customer service.
This step is more troublesome, because Lin Jie is too professional, and many terms and parameters cannot be understood by customer service. He can only be transferred to the manufacturer's professional mechanics. One of them makes the request, and the other talks about the price and difficulty, and it goes back and forth. Yes, it took more than two hours.
After everything was settled, the uniforms ordered by Lin Jie were delivered.
