Chapter 2610 Psionic Technology

The mind flayer can flexibly dance the "tentacle extender" like manipulating its own tentacles, using it as a melee weapon, or to manifest those psychic powers that require physical contact to conduct.

In addition, the catheter inside the "tentacle extender" can also transport the lytic enzyme secreted by the mind flayer to the end of the blade, dissolving the flesh and blood tissue of the prey, so that the brain of the prey can be normally absorbed when the "tentacle extender" is equipped.

Turning to the next page, what caught Joan's eyes was a rather complex large-scale psionic device called the "Master Brain Communicator".

When mind flayers go out for a long time, in order to keep in touch with the mastermind, they need a device to increase the range of telepathy, and the "mastermind communicator" was invented for this purpose.

This device requires the joint operation of nine mind flayers. The main body is a hollow egg-shaped cabin with a height of 8 feet. Tentacle-like cables extend from the bottom of the cabin to the eight surrounding water tanks.

To use this device, one mind flayer sits in the egg-shaped pod, and the other eight each sit in the surrounding tanks, using those tentacle-like cables as a medium to focus their psychic energy into the central egg-shaped pod.

The mind flayer responsible for communication in the egg-shaped cabin gathers the psychic energy of all its companions, and can communicate with intelligent creatures in any corner of the world, including of course the mastermind far away in the city of Odes.

In addition to the "psychic sword", the mind flayers of Odys also invented a long-range weapon for psionic creatures called the "shock gun".

The impact gun is made of star iron, and its shape is similar to a short-barreled shotgun in the surface world. It does not need to be loaded with bullets, and can directly convert the mental energy of the holder into shock waves.

The impact gun comes with two modes.

The "sniper mode" has a range of thousands of feet, and consumes 1 point of psionic energy to cause 4-level force field damage.

"Shotgun mode" has a range of only 60 feet, and its advantage is that it can simultaneously bombard all targets within a 60° cone-shaped area in front of it. It consumes 1 point of energy, and its basic lethality is also 4 energy levels.

Similar to the spiritual sword, the impact gun made of star iron can also be strengthened by the manifester's spiritual attributes, and additional spiritual damage will be added.

The last artifact is the "power armor", also cast from astral iron, and the mind flayers also call it "psychic exoskeleton".

There are several models of this device, the smallest one has only a few mechanical parts, and is fixed on the inside of the knee or arm joint, which can enhance mobility and arm strength; there are more large ones, at least enough to hold an adult mind flayer , the largest model is 30 feet high, it is said to be "armor", but it actually looks more like a metal construct.

Large power armor can provide complete protection for the wearer, but the weight is too heavy, unless a macho with super high strength attributes, wearing this armor will not be able to move at all.

Mind flayers are not a race known for strength, and the developed "power armor" certainly does not rely on brute force to control it. As long as one point of psionic energy is injected into the armor, within the next hour, this heavy armor will be able to It is temporarily activated and communicates with the manifester, like a light coat worn on the body, which can manipulate the armor to move and fight at will.

In addition to this basic type of psychic power armor, there are also styles with higher enchantment levels. The top-level power armor can even temporarily increase the wearer's strength and speed. The manifest level of the wearer is similar to the "amplification" mechanism of psychic powers.

The first time Qiao An saw the information on the psychic power armor, he thought of the mechanical armor he had seen when he was traveling in the Far East. Both are semi-intelligent constructs that need to be operated by a driver, and the design concepts are quite similar. It's just that the former uses psionic technology, while the latter uses magic technology.

From the perspective of overall performance, the psionic power armor is better than the mechanical armor, especially the mobility and flexibility. It is far from the performance of the bulky mechanical armor, but the requirements for the driver are also more stringent.

The psychic power armor can only be activated by psychic creatures, and it needs to be continuously supplied with psychic energy. Once the driver runs out of psychic energy, this thing will turn off on the spot and turn into a large tin can.

The biggest advantage of the mechanical armor is that anyone can start it, and I can do it myself, the difference is nothing more than reflected in the driving skills.

In addition, the mechanical armor is powered by the magic crystal steam engine. The advantage is that the power output is more stable, but the engine structure is complex and the failure rate is higher.

Qiao An once learned the construction technology of mechanical armor in Baiou Port, and later borrowed this technology to manufacture the magical mechanized soldier "Zaku". Taiwan to play.

However, seeing the price, he retreated.

Without any enchanting special effects, the price of the basic medium-sized power armor is as high as 500 honor points!

Joan now only has 200 honor points inherited from the Gnostics, which is far from enough.

If he could pay the bill with magic crystals or gold coins, of course he could afford such an expensive big toy, but the problem was "the source of the huge amount of property is unknown", and he dared not spend it even if he had money!

Fortunately, the mind flayers adhere to "open source doctrine", and all spiritual weapons, including psionic power armor and impact guns, are open source design drawings within the community.

As long as it is a mind flayer born in Odis, even a probationer like the Gnostics who has been deprived of his citizenship, he can still download the spiritual weapon design and a full set of craft tutorials from the mastermind's knowledge base for free.

There is such a good thing, of course you can't miss it!

Joan immediately used the teleportation technique and went straight back to the stone tower on the outskirts of the city. He dug out the Gnostic "portable brain aid" from the desk drawer on the second floor, quickly checked the archives, and hung it around his neck after confirming that there was no abnormal information. Go up, and cast a spell to teleport back to the "Tower of the Mastermind".

Back in front of the brain pool, Joan once again established a spiritual link with the master brain, picked out the spiritual weapons he was interested in, found the corresponding design plans, packaged and downloaded them all, and saved them in the "portable brain aid" for future use when he was free. study in depth.

The technical data that Joan packed was too large, and it would take five minutes to download all of them to the "Portable Brain Aid". While waiting, he opened Odis's private order list and casually looked at it to pass the time.

One of the reward tasks aroused his curiosity.

The person who commissioned the release was Metatron, the most popular mythical mind flayer elder in Odis. The content was to seek a right-hand man to help her hunt down an enemy named "Cain".

To Qiao An's surprise, Metatron's commission has been announced for more than half a year, and it has not yet been completed. The inside story is really intriguing.
