Otherworld Girl Development Guide

Since a native civilization exists, engaging in trade is an inevitable trend. With the existence of the Magic Horn Mine, there may be other precious minerals that have not yet been discovered... Just like the Dyson Sphere Project, only by venturing beyond the home planet can those precious minerals be found.

Given the threat at sea, it is imperative to launch the escorting warships as soon as possible.

"Miss Ellie, I have good news for you..."

Ellie gripped the seat nervously. Although she had ridden in airships before, this was her first time riding in such a thrilling aircraft. Her fingers turned white from gripping too tightly. She turned to look at Zhou Mingrui, somewhat confused about his meaning.

"...You might have to come home earlier."

...........

On the electronic map, large red dots dot the seabed, representing data sent back by sonar buoys.

The Xirang Command has entered a state of first-level combat readiness.

The drone sent back the situation on the sea surface, showing a large, dark "cloud" hovering over the location of the shipwreck beneath the azure waters. What exactly happened is unclear.

But the occasional dark shadow leaping out of the sea plunged the entire CIC into silence.

Those things are practically a combination of humans and fish, with the upper body of a fish!

Sharp claws and ferocious claws tore at the human corpses found in the shipwreck, quickly shredding and devouring them... Then, swarms of fish-men, forming dark shadows, approached the Breath of Earth base from the seabed.

This unknown species, which feeds on humans, was immediately classified as a dangerous beast by the Xirang Command and was not protected by any law.

Rabbits are very loving, but they absolutely cannot tolerate another species that feeds on humans. This has nothing to do with justice or evil; it's all about survival!

The order authorizing troops to fire freely was issued from the high command, but even free firing must be coordinated within the system to achieve the maximum destructive effect.

The CY-2 missile was powered on, and the launch crew, under the command of the launch officer, input the launch parameters into the CY-2 missile and adjusted the missile's gyroscope... Once ready, the Changying-2 rocket-assisted torpedo ignited, propelling the torpedo toward the place where these monsters were entrenched.

The drone hovering in the sky immediately began relay guidance. When CY-2 approached the sea area where the shadow was located, the rocket booster separated, the parachute opened to slow down, and the torpedo fell into the sea with a splash.

After splashing a small amount of water, the torpedo enters the water, and the combustion chamber starts working to provide energy for the torpedo. This energy is converted into electrical energy through a turbine and gearbox, which drives the pump-jet propulsion unit.

The torpedo's guidance system is activated, and it begins searching for its target.

After locating the enemy, the torpedo was steered with full-motion rudder to adjust its course and plunged into the "swarm of fish".

With a deafening roar, the torpedo's warhead exploded, sending up a water column nearly a hundred meters high. The water pressure instantly crushed the surrounding fish-men into a bloody pulp, turning the azure seawater red.

One after another, water jets splashed on the sea surface. In addition to the fishmen who were blown into bloody foam at close range, the fishmen in the distance also had their internal organs shattered by the aftershocks of the explosion. Their corpses floated to the surface as if they were dead, and were immediately devoured by their own kind.

Within just 30 minutes, all the Longying-2 missiles in the Xirang base were fired, but the shadow on the seabed was only reduced by one-third, with two-thirds still approaching Xirang.

"Prepare for beachhead control."

On the probing positions, Type 89 heavy machine guns were mounted on tripods. Because the enemy was a beast without intelligence or long-range attack capabilities, the machine gun positions were set up relatively densely, forming a dense crossfire.

Before these fish-like creatures entered firing range, the first to make contact with the fish-men were six Type 022 missile boats.

Six Type 022 missile boats, arranged in pairs, circled the fish-men at a distance of about 3000 meters.

The domestically produced AK-630M gun on the bow is a fully automatic computer-controlled machine gun, but since the fishman did not appear on the surface, it was changed to be remotely operated by the gunner.

After locking onto the area where the shadowy figure was located, the close-in weapon system roared and opened fire at its maximum speed of 3000 rpm, scattering spent shell casings into the sea as if they were free.

Long streams of flame shot from the cannons, and each 30mm machine gun shot created dense splashes on the sea surface. Blood surfaced, and severed limbs, along with internal organs of unknown purpose, rose to the surface.

The Z-9 helicopter, which was flying overhead, witnessed this scene. Ellie stared intently at the guns of the Type 022 missile boat.

This rate of fire completely overturned her understanding of weapons. If a magic weapon had this rate of fire, the barrel would probably have melted long ago!

However, compared to her shock, Zhou Mingrui was not so optimistic. An outsider talks about tactics, while an insider talks about logistics.

It seems that 022 is suppressing the Murlocs, but he knows exactly how much ammunition Xirang has. They came with the goal of launching Kaiming Ruixing, and Xirang has only kept its ammunition reserves to a minimum, with most of its transport capacity allocated to various infrastructure materials.

There are still 2 days until the next portal opens, which means they have to hold out for at least 2 more days.

Chapter 17 Beach Landing

Once a rapid-fire weapon fires, the amount of ammunition consumed is enough to make any logistics worker want to curse.

Just as Zhou Mingrui had expected, the AK630M cannons on the six Type 022 missile boats quickly emptied their magazines of ammunition.

Since the YJ-83 missiles on the missile boat could not hit underwater targets, the captain had no choice but to order the missile boat to keep its distance from the fish and monitor their every move from a distance.

"Command, this is 2209. The enemy is approaching the Xirang Base's 113 Shoal... Repeat... The enemy is approaching the Xirang Base's 113 Shoal..."

"Command received. Report enemy movements immediately!"

"learn!"

The dark clouds beneath the sea approached the beach of the Xirang base and entered the firing range of the Type 89 heavy machine gun. The machine gunners could see those menacing figures underwater with the naked eye.

"Fire!"

Boom! Boom! Boom! Long bursts of flame shot out from both sides of the muzzle as the heavy machine gun began to fire rhythmic short bursts.

12.7mm bullets pierced the sea surface, and the machine gunner continuously adjusted the trajectory of the bullets using tracer rounds, shooting down the fish-men floating on the surface of the water.

The 30mm rapid-fire guns on the eight-wheeled vehicles also joined the suppressive fire, and the 37mm anti-aircraft guns and 57mm anti-aircraft guns also opened fire.

It has been proven that anti-aircraft guns were far more effective at slaughtering fishermen than other weapons.

A deep roar echoed from the seabed, and under the control of its owner, all the fishmen's eyes turned bloodshot, and they charged towards the Breath of Earth like madmen.

In an instant, the entire beach erupted in chaos, with countless fish-men running wildly across the shallows, only to crash into the steel walls.

Fishmen have a layer of scales on their bodies, which do provide them with some protection, but these scales are useless against human firearms.

The beam of light pointed the trajectory, sweeping down layer upon layer of murlocs like wheat being harvested.

The murlocs hit by the heavy machine gun were almost instantly torn into pieces by the passive force, while those hit by the anti-aircraft gun were turned into a bloody mist.

The 03P amphibious tank spewed a ball of flame from its cannon, and a high-explosive fragmentation grenade exploded among the fish, blasting all the fish within the kill radius into dust.

Once the number of murlocs was detected to be increasing, the Type 97 93mm man-portable thermobaric bombs, under the aim of the gunners, began attacking the murlocs on the beach.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh... The individual thermobaric bombs flew towards the murlocs with the help of rockets. When they flew over their heads, some murlocs even jumped up and tried to grab the thermobaric bombs.

*Puff puff puff...* The individual thermobaric bomb exploded, the thermobaric agent was scattered and evenly dispersed in the air, mixing with the air to form an aerosol.

The next second, the aerosol detonated, and the overpressure generated by the massive explosion instantly crushed the nearby fishmen into dust. The air turned into a visible shockwave that spread in all directions, turning all the fishmen within a 50-square-meter area into roasted fish slices.

This was not a battle, but a one-sided massacre. The pool was littered with the corpses of fishmen, layer upon layer, their flesh and blood mingling with the sand, the deep red sand so glaringly bright.

Zhou Mingrui felt somewhat uncomfortable after watching for a while, while Ellie was intently watching the battle on the shallows, the bursts of fire from the explosions flashing in her gray eyes.

The bloody scene made her face slightly pale, but the combat power displayed by Star Ring deeply shocked her. Looking at the flags fluttering on the battlefield, she pursed her lips.

After realizing that they could not break through the enemy's position from the front, another low hum echoed from the seabed. As if receiving some kind of instruction, countless fishmen quickly scattered and rushed towards other small islands from all directions.

"The enemy has dispersed?!"

Based on the feedback, the fishmen's unusual tactical behavior immediately made the officers in command realize that there was probably a "commander" behind them!

"Immediately locate the source of the murlocs. Once discovered, destroy them without further instructions!"

"learn!"

............................

Buzz!

Shi Qiang piloted the helicopter to the airport on the central island of Xirang. The airport was located on a cliff with a wide view.

After shutting down the engine, Shi Qiang took a Type 95 assault rifle from under the helicopter and looked around warily.

Ground crew quickly rushed forward to check the condition of the Z-9 helicopter and refueled it, preparing it for takeoff at any time.

If problems arise on the central island, Zhou Mingrui will be transferred to the safer original island.

Da da da!

Suddenly, gunshots rang out from the cliff not far from the helipad, accompanied by shouts: "The enemy is climbing up the cliff! Take them out!"

Led by their officers, fully armed soldiers ran quickly toward the beach.

The eight-wheeled armored vehicle drove towards the cliff, while the 30mm automatic cannon and 7.62mm machine gun on the UW4 remote weapon station swept the mermen who climbed up, killing them.

With the support of vehicles, the well-trained soldiers around them quickly moved towards the eight wheels, using them as a fire support point. They knelt on the ground like they were playing whack-a-mole, firing at the fishmen who were climbing up the cliff.

Soon, the Type 86 vehicle-mounted 7.62mm coaxial machine gun and the Type 88 vehicle-mounted 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun also joined the suppression, continuously firing and killing the fishmen.

However, the mermen seemed endless. One after another, ferocious-looking mermen climbed up the cliff, trying to charge at the soldiers, but were quickly shot down.

This was Zhou Mingrui's first time experiencing the battlefield up close. The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder mixed with a nauseating fishy odor. The incessant roar of the 30mm automatic cannon had made him unable to hear what others were saying, and he communicated almost entirely through sign language and shouts.

Shi Qiang frowned as he glanced at the fishman's position. He was too close to the Z-9 helicopter. Activating the Z-9 would undoubtedly affect the soldiers' firepower suppression and create unnecessary risks.

"Let's go! Quickly, to the command post!"

Shi Qiang shoved Zhou Mingrui, looking around warily to prevent any escapees from getting away.

Zhou Mingrui glanced at Old Fugen and Ellie. One was a highly educated intellectual from another world, and the other was an old captain who knew the Mingrui Star route. They were both very valuable.

"Follow!"

The group walked quickly toward the command post on the central island, which was the second most heavily guarded place in the entire Xirang. It had ample supplies, and a company of guards had already built a defensive line there, enough to hold out for two days.

Once Zhou Mingrui's portal has cooled down, he can open a new portal on the central island and reinforcements will arrive. These murlocs will be no problem at all.

Chapter 18 Want to learn Chinese?

The command post is the most important location in the current Xirang base, and also the place with the strongest defense. The position, located on a high point, can suppress incoming enemies with fire from above.

Zhou Mingrui was placed in the basement of the command center, which was the safest place in the entire command center. If the fishmen broke through the position, they would have to break through layers of defenses and finally break through the protective door of the basement to find him.

However, two days had already passed by then, and what awaited these fishmen was the terrifying upright ape's fatal attack.

The faint sound of artillery fire could be heard from the basement, indicating that the area around the command post was not peaceful either.

Zhou Mingrui sat in front of the chair, watching the real-time updates on the electronic map, but he couldn't understand some of the technical terms at all.
