"My clothes burst apart just from running?"
Chen Jue stood at the finish line, momentarily stunned, feeling a chilly draft down below.
When he had returned to Chen Village before, he had also sprinted from the town back to the village. But he had not gone all out then, and the air friction against his body as he ran had not been nearly as intense as it was now.
Once the Mach number of flight exceeded 3.0, the temperature on the surface of the body would rise to around 350°C.
At that temperature, an ordinary person's bodily tissues would rapidly dehydrate and carbonize, then begin to spontaneously combust.
Because the human body contained large amounts of fat, spontaneous combustion would occur as long as there was enough oxygen and the temperature reached the ignition point of 260°C.
Someone burning away to nothing while running-probably few people would believe anything so absurd if word got out.
Chen Jue had only escaped spontaneous combustion at such high temperatures thanks to his hard-body conditioning, along with the [High-temperature resistance] status.
After all, this guy had bathed in magma at 1,200°C. The frictional temperature generated at over Mach 7 was merely on par with the temperature of magma.
His flesh had withstood the heat, but the ordinary fabric of the clothes he wore could not. They had simply vanished as he ran.
If the supply trucks Zou Ying had brought had not carried a few sets of the latest Aerospace Combat Suit, Chen Jue would probably have had to turn around and run back to the base to find something to wear.
A human at the peak of the Transcendent Level streaking between the firing range and the base-just imagining that scene was something else!
"Engineer Zou, good thing you brought spare Combat
