Otherworld Girl Development Guide

The Chongming mobile suit is smaller than the J-15 Princess.

Total length: 22M

Full width: 13.2m with wingspan extended / 8.8m with wings folded

Total height: TARPS 9.75M when unfolded, 6.25M when folded

Empty weight 10.188 tons

With a maximum speed of Mach 2.5, the speed is too high for the driver to handle. In HIGH-G mode, the seat reclines to reduce the driver's burden.

The cruising speed is Mach 0.8. The reason for the subsonic cruising speed is twofold: firstly, to consider fuel consumption, and secondly, because Chongming is primarily designed for stealth, and excessive speed would generate heat.

Maximum ceiling 24000 meters.

Armed with one 23mm autocannon, with 200 rounds of ammunition.

The missile has two underwing hardpoints and two lateral hardpoints on the engine side.

The engine is a twin-engine, three-dimensional vector engine, not the variable-cycle spur engine of the Qingniao; it's more like a youth version of the Qingniao engine.

"Boss, when should we deliver this machine?"

"Send it over after this test is finished, so we don't have to keep nagging us."

"Huh? Boss... just send one over?" The Dou Zong expert gaped in astonishment; the boss was also dumbfounded.

"Do we have a second one? The Bluebird prototype still needs improvements."

Those who can't wait are always restless... We've only sent one, and not only the Navy, but even the Air Force is green with envy.

three days later.

Shangqiu Military Airport, Xinghuan Research Institute's special hangar.

The dark green-painted Chongming is preparing for its first test flight.

The top-level test pilot and electronic warfare officer inspected the aircraft's condition in the cockpit.

The pilot stared at the new cockpit, having trained many times in the simulator, but even when actually flying it, he still felt a sense of unfamiliarity...

Compared to other Flying Girls I've been on, Chongming's cockpit has a more futuristic feel. The three spherical displays include a human-computer interaction system, while the images on both sides project the data more clearly and intuitively. At the same time, the ergonomically designed side sticks are more comfortable to hold.

StarRing Research Institute is quite avant-garde in adopting new technologies, and after passing safety assessments, it puts them into aircraft.

The pilot started the left engine; after a high-pitched whistling sound, he checked the left engine's condition. Once the left engine was stable, he started the right engine...

As the aircraft's voltage gradually increased and the system performed a self-check, the pilot tested the side stick control surfaces.

The canards, main wing rudder surfaces, and tail surfaces are normal...

"Control Tower... Control Tower... This is Chongming... System normal, requesting takeoff..."

"Agreed... Runway One is ready..."

"clear."

The pilot slightly pushed the throttle valve, and then the plane was driven out of the hangar and headed toward runway one.

On the control tower, the air force and navy leaders were using binoculars to watch Chongming as he ran up the runway, preparing for takeoff.

The naval leader clicked his tongue: "Tsk... What's going on? Why isn't the front landing gear equipped with a drive motor?"

"Heh~ You're disgusted? Let the Air Force test it." The Air Force leader quickly said.

"Bullshit! When did the Air Force start folding its planes? It's okay if there's no motor, aircraft carriers have tractors, it'll just be a bit more troublesome." The naval bigwig said, puffing out his beard and glaring.

"Hey! You rascal, I have a jar of wine at home that's been treasured for 40 years..."

"No way!"

Chapter 109 A Big Business Worth Over a Billion

Shangqiu military airport, at the end of runway number one.

Wearing work gloves, the elite pilot pushed the throttle valve, boosting the engine power. At the same time, he released the brakes and the aircraft rushed forward.

After taxiing for a distance, the elite pilot gently pulled the side stick, and the front landing gear lifted off the ground, followed by the rear landing gear, and the aircraft flew into the sky.

"This is the control tower... How is the machine's condition?"

"This is Chongming... Everything is normal..."

"Continue testing..."

"clear..."

Soon, the top-level pilot maneuvered Chongming around the military airfield to conduct a simple test of the aircraft's flight performance.

After all, compared to the unmanned prototype Qingniao, which was codenamed "Chongming" and is likely to be the mass-produced J-XX in the future, the new technology has reached 30%, and its evaluation will be more stringent.

Without undergoing three to five years or even longer of testing, it is impossible to enter military service.

This is StarRing's first flagship product, a multi-billion dollar business.

"Control tower... This is Chongming... The machine is operating normally... RTB..."

"agree."

The pilot maneuvered Chongming towards the runway, and real-time data was displayed on the holographic projection in front of them. After the plane landed smoothly on the runway, the speed brakes on the wings deployed, slowing the speed down, and the brakes were engaged, bringing it to a steady stop on the runway.

The tractor immediately drove towards Chongming and pulled him into the hangar for inspection of various parts and systems.

Chongming is a manned aircraft, and its testing requires much more caution compared to that of drones.

“A good start…” Zhou Mingrui looked at Chongming being pulled into the hangar. On the nose fairing, the two characters “Chongming” were written in calligraphy, making them very easy to identify.

The Chongming's role is somewhat similar to that of the J-16D, but it is much more expensive to build. Apart from reconnaissance, battlefield surveillance and electronic warfare suppression, it is basically impossible to perform air-to-air/air-to-ground strike missions, so the missiles it carries are all for self-defense.

"It's getting late, let's go home."

It's already 4 PM, the boss should be leaving get off work soon~

In the Dongfeng Mengshi, Zhou Mingrui looked at the two little girls sitting in the back seat. As if sensing his gaze, the two kittens' amber eyes turned to him, and a smile appeared on their lips.

Zhou Mingrui looked away; they were smiling even more, which was a good thing.

"So, what have you been busy with in the kitchen lately?"

"Uh... I wasn't busy with anything..." Bell looked away, glancing out the window.

“I’m thinking about how to make better use of the kitchen space…” Theo said in a monotone tone.

--------------------------------------

Deep sea.

Xirang Base.

Level 4 Biochemical Research Institute, Special Laboratory.

Academician Lu, who is in charge of the Red Line Project, and his assistants are observing chimpanzees behind aluminum oxynitride glass.

The chimpanzee paced restlessly behind the glass, occasionally raising its upper body and pounding its chest muscles against the alumina glass with both hands, making a loud thud.

Perhaps due to biological instinct, humans have a natural aversion to other primates.

"How is the condition of experimental subject 001?" Academician Lu asked in a deep voice.

A week has passed since the chimpanzees, pigs, sheep, cattle, and other mammals used in the experiments arrived at the laboratory. After the experimental subjects have stabilized, the red line parasitism experiment will be carried out.

The 001st parasite, codenamed "Jerry," has stabilized after being parasitized by the red line and has not shown any discomfort so far. Over time, its physical condition has improved significantly, and even its lifespan is longer than that of other mice.

Jerry is not currently involved in any experiments. As the most important observation subject, he will continue to be observed to facilitate reference for the subsequent effects of the red line on the parasite.

"Everything is normal, very lively..."

Jerry isn't just lively, he's far too lively. He spends all his time jumping around in his aluminum oxynitride box. Due to safety concerns, Jerry will probably have to retire in a lab... But theoretically, Jerry's lifespan has been extended by at least five times.

Academician Lu nodded and said to his assistant:

"Then, let's prepare for the experiment."

"Prepare the hypnotic gas!"

With a pop, anesthetic gas was injected into the experimental chamber. The chimpanzee became restless and agitated. As the anesthetic gas took effect, the chimpanzee collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"Proceed to the second step of the experiment!"

The robotic arm held a large, finger-thick red thread that looked like a giant earthworm. This giant red thread was collected from the "Nautilus" and was even more vibrant than the red thread on the fishman's body.

As the robotic arm released its grip, the red line twisted on the ground a few times, then, as if sensing something, began to crawl towards the chimpanzee little by little.

Under the watchful eyes of Academician Lu and his assistants, the red thread slowly burrowed into the chimpanzee's nose, eventually entering its entire body.

"Prepare!"

Academician Lu made a gesture, and his assistant manipulated an X-ray scanner to scan the chimpanzee's body and observe how the red thread parasitized the chimpanzee.

After the red thread entered the chimpanzee's body, it did not go directly to the brain. Instead, it wriggled inside the chimpanzee's body, slowly making its way towards the spine.

It is not yet clear how the red thread breaks through the flesh to reach the spine, but research suggests that the red thread can paralyze the host's nerves and even secrete coagulants and biological enzymes that accelerate the healing of flesh, thus preventing the parasite from dying due to pain, blood loss, and internal trauma!

"Record...Observe..."

There's no way around it; studying the red line requires a lot of time to observe and carefully record its parasitic process.

It wasn't just Academician Lu's group; other project groups in the biochemistry lab were also conducting research at the same time, studying the process by which red-lined parasites in other animals.

"Master, we'll go and observe the rest. You haven't rested for several days."

"It's alright, my old bones can still handle it..."

The assistant opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. Their teacher, at his age, was working so hard, which made them, the younger generation, feel ashamed. Even when they relaxed, they felt like they were wasting their time.

"The first batch of bio-enzymes has been extracted?"

"Yes, Master... it was extracted from Academician Li Kang's group..."

Academician Lu glanced at the chimpanzee sleeping peacefully in the experimental chamber and said:

"I'll go check next door. You all stay here and keep an eye on things. Let me know immediately if anything happens!"

After speaking, Academician Lu walked out of the laboratory and headed towards the laboratory next door.
