However, Chen Mo did not adjust the shape of the mental energy wrapped around his body into a water drop shape.
Because although the water drop shape has the smallest drag coefficient, this is limited to normal speeds. Once the speed exceeds the speed of sound, the situation becomes more complicated.
When an airplane flies in the air, the front end will cause disturbances in the air. This disturbance propagates in the form of disturbance waves at the speed of sound. When the speed of the airplane is less than the speed of sound, the disturbance waves will propagate directly in all directions without affecting the airplane.
However, when an object moves at supersonic speed, the propagation speed of the disturbance wave is smaller than the forward speed of the aircraft. In this way, the subsequent disturbance generated by the aircraft will be superimposed with the previous disturbance wave to form a stronger wave, and the air will be strongly compressed.
And a shock wave is formed.
When a sonic fighter flies at supersonic speed, shock wave resistance will account for a large proportion.
In order to reduce shock wave resistance, fighter jets need to be designed in a shape that conforms to the "area ratio" as much as possible. Simply put, the cross-sectional area of the aircraft should increase as smoothly as possible starting from the nose.
When it gets close to the tail of the plane, it decreases smoothly until it reaches the very end of the tail.
Naturally, the overall cross-sectional area of the aircraft must be reduced as much as possible.
This is also the reason why the ordinary passenger planes we see are closer to a teardrop shape, while the supersonic fighter jets are flatter and sharper.
Therefore, after Chen Mo tried according to this rule, he finally controlled his telekinesis into a flat fusiform shape that could just cover his body. The largest cross-sectional area in the middle of the fusiform shape was basically the same as the cross-sectional area of his torso.
, the front and rear head and feet gradually shrink, forming two sharp angles like the tips of swords.
This shape was adjusted by Chen Mo after experiments based on the principle of minimizing air resistance and shock wave resistance to minimize flight resistance.
"Jarvis, report speed."
Chen Mo clearly felt that after changing the shape of the telekinesis shell, the speed of flight increased again. After the speed increased to the highest, he asked Jarvis again.
"Sir, your current flying speed has reached Mach 3."
When Chen Mo heard this, he shook his head with some regret. It had indeed improved a lot compared to before, but it was still far behind the Mach 6 top speed of the Steel Suit.
It seems that long-distance flying still depends on the steel suit. At least for now, his own flying speed is still not as fast as the steel suit, and he will continue to consume mental energy. Although the consumption is very small, based on his current
With his mental strength, it is no problem to fly at full strength for several hours, but after all, it is not as simple and convenient as a steel suit.
But thinking of the steel suit, Chen Mo quickly had a new idea.
He first slowed down and hovered in the air, and then with a thought, he released the steel suit directly from the space.
The dark Adamantium alloy steel battle suit instantly appeared in front of Chen Mo, directly wrapping the front half of his body. Then a low sound of mechanical transmission followed by the crisp sound of metal impact, and the two sides of the suit unfolded.
The armor quickly deformed and closed, completely covering Chen Mo.
Dressing up!
The whole process takes less than a second!
From the release of the suit to the deformation and closure of the armor, the speed was extremely fast, and the dressing was completed almost in the blink of an eye. This was the result of Chen Mo's continuous optimization and improvement, in order to shorten the dressing time as much as possible to avoid being caught by the enemy.
.
After putting on the steel suit, Chen Mo did not activate the thrusters, but still used his telekinesis to hold the suit and himself in the air. This time, Chen Mo clearly felt the increase in weight, although it was not as powerful as when flying at full speed just now.
Big, but not as easy as it was at the beginning.
Chen Mo himself weighs about 100 kilograms, plus the 200 kilograms of the steel suit, the overall weight reaches 300 kilograms.
However, Chen Mo just felt a little heavier. With his current telekinesis strength, there is no problem in lifting a weight of 300 kilograms. Although it has not been tested accurately, according to his feeling, the current power of telekinesis to control objects
The upper limit should be about one ton.
When it comes to adjusting the posture in the air, the steel suit itself is controlled by thrusters on the hands, feet, chest and abdomen. Although Chen Mo can completely control it flexibly with his control ability, it is far less convenient and faster than telekinesis. Chen Mo directly
He used his mind power to control the suit and adjust it to a flying position, with his hands still naturally stretched out on both sides of his body.
Then, under Chen Mo's control, the steel suit's legs, hands, and thrusters on the chest and abdomen were activated at the same time, spraying out blazing white flames, pushing the suit to fly forward at a rapid speed.
When the holographic projection inside the helmet showed that the speed reached the highest speed, Mach 6, Chen Mo once again applied telekinesis to the suit, adding another level of power to it.
After the speed stabilized, the steel suit accelerated again, and the speed continued to increase rapidly. Soon it reached a new speed limit, Mach 7!
Even though the speed is only increased by Mach 1, at supersonic speed, as the speed increases, the resistance will increase more and more, and the further back, the harder it will be to increase the speed.
In the real world, the fastest fighter jet is only Mach 3.2. NASA has built a hypersonic aircraft with a maximum speed of Mach 9.8, the X-43, but it was an unmanned aircraft specially used to study scramjet engines.
The test aircraft has no practical value at all. Its flight needs to be carried by a B-52 bomber to an altitude of 100,000 feet, and then a rocket will take it into a higher orbit and accelerate to a very high speed, and finally
Separated from the rocket, it relied on its own specially developed scramjet engine to provide power and continued flying for about 10 seconds. After briefly reaching the ultimate speed of Mach 9.8, it lost power and fell into the sea.
Compared with them, Chen Mo's current speed of Mach 7 is already shocking, and it's not over yet.
Although the appearance of the steel suit has been optimized and the wind resistance coefficient is already very low, its main function is to fight, so the appearance cannot be changed too much in pursuit of low wind resistance. Therefore, compared with a fighter jet, its flight resistance is
It is still a bit big. Although the powerful power allows it to maintain a high speed, if the appearance can be further optimized, it can still be greatly improved.
Therefore, Chen Mo once again used his telekinesis to form a new layer of "armor" on the outer layer of the suit, changing its dynamic shape into a spindle shape. The flight speed of the suit also increased again, finally reaching eight times the speed of sound! Also
That’s 9,800 kilometers per hour, nearly 10,000 kilometers per hour!
