Flying with the Flesh!
As it turned out, Chen Mo's estimate was correct. Lifting his weight was not only no problem, but also very easy, demonstrating that the limits of telekinesis were far beyond what was shown.
Controlling his mental power to keep himself steadily suspended in mid-air, Chen Mo looked down and found that the mountaintop platform he had just been on was right beneath his feet. As for the distance, Chen Mo made a rough estimate and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
"J.A.R.V.I.S., how far did I teleport just now?"
Hovering high in the sky, Chen Mo asked J.A.R.V.I.S. on his wristwatch.
"Sir, it's exactly one hundred meters."
J.A.R.V.I.S.'s respectful voice rang out in the vast, empty sky.
One hundred meters, which was about the same as Chen Mo's own estimate, much farther than the John Wraith, and Chen Mo was very satisfied with it.
The John Wraith's teleportation distance is only about 20 meters, which is enough for ordinary close-range combat, but overall it is still a bit too short. Chen Mo's teleportation distance of 100 meters is much better, basically meeting Chen Mo's needs in combat and greatly enhancing his role on the battlefield.
After answering Chen Mo's question, J.A.R.V.I.S. continued.
"Sir, congratulations on learning to fly!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Mo couldn't help but smile. That's right, with telekinesis, he could float in the air at will, and even fly in the air, just like he could control a pen to fly in the air, except that the object of his telekinesis was himself.
Thinking of this, Chen Mo temporarily stopped his plan to teleport and directly used his telekinesis to control his body to fly in the air.
Telekinesis is the manifestation of mental power. It allows one to directly transform mental power into an invisible force that acts on objects, whether they are other objects or Chen Mo himself.
Chen Mo first controlled himself to ascend, descend, roll, and turn in the air, familiarizing himself with the flight ability "bestowed" by his telekinetic power.
After getting used to the feeling and control of flying with telekinesis, Chen Mo stopped and hovered quietly in the air. He then adjusted his body and slowly rotated ninety degrees forward, lying face down in the air like Superman in flight. However, Chen Mo did not strike a pose with his hands forward like that guy who wore his underwear on the outside.
Having gotten used to the way Iron Man suit flew, Chen Mo simply placed his hands naturally behind his sides. Although the posture wasn't particularly cool, Chen Mo felt that raising his hands forward looked like surrendering from below, and besides, it would be tiring to do it for a long time.
"J.A.R.V.I.S., get ready to take notes."
After Chen Mo finished speaking, he controlled the Vibranium combat suit to cover his body and eyes together.
"Yes, sir."
Once prepared, Chen Mo immediately chose a direction, abruptly increasing his psychic power output to the maximum, using it to propel himself forward at an accelerated speed.
The immense force acted on Chen Mo, propelling him forward at an acceleration far exceeding that of free fall. He quickly reached a very high speed, but the faster Chen Mo went, the greater the air resistance he felt, and the slower his speed increased, eventually stabilizing at a certain point.
"J.A.R.V.I.S., speed!"
The loud wind-blowing noise from the outside world did not prevent Chen Mo from communicating with J.A.R.V.I.S. using the communication device built into his Vibranium Nanotech Combat Suit.
"475 kilometers per hour!"
In terms of physical flight, this speed is already very high. Generally, Mutants with wings, such as "Angel," do not fly at speeds exceeding 200 kilometers per hour. However, Chen Mo was not satisfied with this data, as he knew that the effects of telekinesis were far more than that.
Chen Mo quickly realized the problem: drag coefficient.
He is now flying at high speed using his body directly, which has a much higher drag coefficient than an airplane. Naturally, he experiences greater resistance, and a large amount of his power is used to counteract this resistance, so his speed cannot be increased.
Thinking about this, Chen Mo had a new idea: since telekinesis can be materialized to generate power to control objects, could it be further materialized to change airflow?
Without hesitation, Chen Mo maintained full-speed flight while slowly controlling his psychic power to cover his entire body. He gradually adjusted the shape of this psychic power, forming a cone that completely enveloped Chen Mo.
Next, Chen Mo tried to materialize the cone-shaped ball of psychic energy. He didn't need to exert any force; he just needed to make it as hard as a real object so that it could withstand the oncoming strong wind.
It must be said that the potential of telekinesis is truly enormous, or rather, it was originally part of the materialization of telekinesis, but it just hadn't been used before.
With Chen Mo's conscious control, the cone-shaped psychic energy that enveloped him solidified. Although it was still invisible, Chen Mo could clearly feel the air resistance in front of him suddenly decrease, and his flight speed, which had been stagnant, rapidly increased again.
Chen Mo was overjoyed. It seemed to work. Now, he not only solved the problem of high resistance during physical flight, but also discovered a new way to use his mental power: materialization!
This materialization is different from telekinesis. Previous telekinesis did not involve materializing telekinesis and then using the materialized telekinesis to move objects. Instead, it involved directly applying telekinesis to objects. To use an analogy, telekinesis is more like using the wind to blow objects up, while materializing telekinesis is like turning an invisible but powerful wind into a wall. As it stands, besides being able to shape objects at will and change wind resistance, materialization should also be used to defend against attacks. As for how strong an attack it can defend against, that will require further testing.
In any case, Chen Mo discovered a new use for telekinesis, which can be considered an unexpected gain.
This time, after changing the shape of the flight and reducing the drag coefficient, Chen Mo's telekinetic flight finally broke the sound barrier and reached supersonic speed. However, that was all. After breaking the sound barrier, the drag increased even faster with speed, and the speed increase became slower and slower. When the speed reached Mach 2, it finally stopped completely and stopped increasing.
Chen Mo then tried to change the shape of the outer cone.
The cone shape is not the shape with the lowest drag coefficient; Chen Mo simply chose a shape that was relatively advantageous for flight.
If we're talking about things with the lowest drag coefficient, besides airplanes, it has to be the water droplets, which are the most common things in nature.
The drag coefficient of the fastest sports cars is generally around 0.3, while that of airplanes can reach 0.08, and that of raindrops falling from the sky can reach 0.05, making it the shape with the lowest drag coefficient of all known shapes.
