Otherworld Girl Development Guide

The mountains have water sources and abundant food, and the vegetation is perfect for hiding... but the cult members would never have imagined that infrared radiation would betray them.

"Activate the infrared scanner..."

After the infrared mode was activated, the electronic warfare officer immediately detected an abnormal area of ​​infrared radiation within the mountain.

The bright red area stood out starkly against the dark background.

"Abnormal infrared signals detected, quantity 4..."

The cult also needs to eat, drink, and relieve themselves. With so many people hidden inside the mountain, there must be air intakes and exhaust vents. The exhaust vents would carry away the heat from inside the stronghold, creating a stark contrast with the temperature in other areas at night.

"Location recorded... Recording complete... Now hand it over to ground reconnaissance... Wait, something's up!"

Suddenly, a hole appeared in the mountain, and a guided airship took off. The high-precision optical sensor captured the cult's insignia on the airship, and the electronic warfare officer's lips twitched involuntarily.

"Follow!"

The pilot, Chongming, performed a roll maneuver and followed behind the cult's airship, monitoring it from high altitude.

The airship was very slow, and Chongming had to slow down in order to keep up with the cult's airship. The electronic officer didn't even need to lift a finger; the human-computer interaction system on the universal combat suit read his brainwaves and converted them into electromagnetic signals to interact with Chongming's onboard AI.

Soon, the supercomputer on Chongming calculated the airship's path...

Location: Republic of Calva, Altair.

Chapter 115 White Bird Low Earth Orbit Spacecraft

In the Shangqiu Joint Command Center, Mayor Doyle was quite old, and Corliss still needed to study. The two had already fallen asleep in the command center's lounge. Yuri and Ellie, representing the Kingdom of Bel and Krobel respectively, were watching the operation closely.

As the bright spot representing Chongming approached the border, it relayed signals through several large base stations deployed in the Kingdom of Bel.

"Bird's Nest... Bird's Nest... This is Chongming. The Order's airship is about to enter the airspace of the Republic of Kalva... Repeat... The Order's airship is about to enter the airspace of the Republic of Kalva... Over."

Based on Earth's airspace, the altitude is 30-40 km. Chongming's maximum altitude is only 24 km. Entering the Kalva Alliance means entering their airspace. The representatives of the Bel Kingdom and Krobel are still watching... The commander-in-chief ordered:

"Chongming...This is the Bird's Nest...RTB...Over."

"Understanding...RTB...complete."

On the holographic combat map, the letters RTB appeared on the bright spot representing Chongming, and then it immediately returned to Shangqiu Airport.

“Miss Ellie, Ms. Yuri... the military units in Shangqiu are not authorized by the Republic of Kalva and cannot enter their territory.”

“I understand.” Yuri nodded.

"The good news is that it can now be confirmed that there is a cult stronghold around Altair City, but it is unknown whether the Republic of Calva will be able to help."

"My lord, we're back!" The hunter leader bowed slightly to the old man in the gray robe.

"You weren't discovered, were you?" the old man asked earnestly, putting down the book in his hand.

"No, we chose to go at night, and we only set off after making sure there was no one around."

"Hmm... well done. We need to be cautious at this stage. According to information from our inside sources, the entire continent is preparing to strike the cult... what a bunch of foolish mortals!"

"Our research into truth has reached a bottleneck. Once we successfully break through that bottleneck, hmph!"

The gray-robed elder curled his lip in disdain. They simply did not understand the lofty ideals and goals of the Order. The D∴G Order was far more idealistic and ambitious than those noble lords of the Rebonian Empire!

"...But before that, let's find something for the Empire to do. Thanks to our clever Duke Helmut, he did us a great favor!"

The D∴G Cult has quite a few friends in the Rebonian Empire!

The Kingdom of Bel, with its capital city of Gran.

Queen Estée listened to the report from the head of the intelligence department with a grim expression.

"Are you sure it was the Empire that did it?"

“Yes, Your Majesty… Even without any survivors, we have determined from the clues that it was the Imperial’s disguised hunters who did it!”

Queen Estée took a deep breath, and was about to call for Yuri when she remembered that Yuri had gone to Shangqiu.

"Let's suppress this matter for now, and then negotiate with the Empire after we have eradicated the cult."

The Queen said with some helplessness, "The Bel Kingdom is currently focused on eliminating internal cancers. If we were to clash with the Empire at this time, it would affect Operation Fox Hunt. If any members of the Order escape, the subsequent handling would be extremely troublesome."

However, this matter will not be left unresolved; the Empire must provide an explanation!

"Strengthen border patrols; I don't want this to happen again!"

Operation Fox Hunt was handled by professionals, and Zhou Mingrui continued his ordinary daily life, such as making dinner for his two kittens.

As the fish fillets in the frying pan gradually turned golden brown, Zhou Mingrui hummed a little tune in a good mood.

On the second floor of the villa, an unused room was converted into a small superconducting supercomputer, using a large number of chips made from fractal silicon to provide hardware support for the two little girls.

Lingdang is programming the flight control for Project 650's "White Bird." Compared to Project 666's unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, the flight control for low-orbit spacecraft is much more stringent, since this spacecraft is intended to carry people.

Tio is writing the AI ​​for the White Bird, which is based on Chongming's AI but optimized in a specialized direction... The reason for not using the Blue Bird's AI is that the two kittens are worried that the AI ​​will turn the White Bird into a "coffin".

Compared to ordinary people, these two kittens with unusual brainwaves program at an incredible speed. Through cat-ear headbands, they interact directly with the computer with precision and speed... their coding speed would leave even seasoned programmers scratching their heads.

How can it be written so quickly?

Why can't it be written this fast?

Why are there no bugs?

Why can't a program run based on bugs? (doge)

......

Lingdang examined the design drawings of the White Bird. The White Bird was very beautiful, with a streamlined fuselage that resembled the Concorde's supersonic airliner.

However, the fuselage design is more rounded, adopting a buoyancy design, with a white, flat, triangular fuselage and wings swept upwards, giving it a certain degree of maneuverability within the atmosphere.

A medium-sized orthogonal engine reduces the effect of gravity on the machine, while five engines provide power.

Two twin-engine rocket propulsion units are installed below the tail and on the sides, using liquid oxygen and kerosene as fuel. Two compound cycle engines are mounted on top, and there is a large auxiliary thruster on the back of the fuselage in the center.

The Shiratori low-Earth orbit spacecraft carries a large megawatt-level laser emitter powered by a superconducting battery, which can be considered a PLUS version of the Bluebird laser pod.

Lasers in a vacuum are unaffected by factors such as air humidity and dust particles, making them far more powerful than those on the ground.

If this method is effective in burning the tiny space debris launched by India from a certain major world power, then the sky debris from other countries can also be burned, thus building a clean and hygienic space environment together.

Another perspective... The White Bird, as a commercially used low-Earth orbit spacecraft, can also send satellites into their designated orbits. It is extremely cost-effective and efficient, complementing China's space power transmission project and greatly reducing transportation costs. This is an unparalleled advantage!

It seems there will be a new profession in the future: space sanitation worker.

slap~

Tio and Bell pressed the Enter key almost simultaneously, and then the system entered a self-check... The two kittens stared blankly at the progress bar on the screen, but their minds were already in the "chat room".

(=￣ω￣=)?(=￣ω￣=)

"Tio, the bell is finished, what about yours?"

"Ding-dong, Tio is done too."

"Hmm..." Bell was silent for a moment, then said, "...Tio, that woman is here!"

“Tio knows that Tio doesn’t like her.” There was a hint of displeasure in Tio’s tone.

"The same goes for bells!"

The two kittens reached a consensus: what child wants a stepmother!

"Lingdang, Tio, dinner's ready. I fried fish fillets today," Zhou Mingrui's voice came through the home walkie-talkie.

The two kittens looked at each other the moment they opened the door.

"Let's unite!"

Chapter 116 The debt is almost halfway paid off (24/50)

Shangqiu had made ample contingency plans, but things just don't always go as planned. The truth can't be hidden forever, especially when someone is stirring things up.

The next morning, Zhou Mingrui squinted as he looked at the news on his phone.

"Shocking! Such a thing has actually happened in the Kingdom of Bel! Men are speechless, and women are in tears!"

The title sounds cool, but the content is like a depth charge, causing a huge uproar on the mainland.

This report came from a shady newspaper. It said that a village on the border between the Kingdom of Bel and the Empire of Rebonia was massacred by unknown people. The article was practically blatantly trying to identify the empire.

No one, young or old, was spared; all the men were killed, and the women were raped and then silenced...

After a week of brewing, the relationship between the Kingdom of Bell and the Empire became somewhat delicate. The Kingdom of Bell increased its border defenses, while the Rebonian Empire also pushed its mech legions toward the border.

At this critical moment of "Operation Fox Hunt," this kind of thing has come to light... The Shangqiu government has issued a statement expressing its concern about the incident and calling on all parties to calmly and jointly investigate the matter to get to the bottom of it and severely punish the perpetrators.

In the Kingdom of Gran, Queen Estelle is meeting with the head of the intelligence department.

The head of the intelligence department lowered his head slightly, not daring to look at Queen Estée. This incident could be attributed to the intelligence department's mistake!

"Who did it?" Queen Estée asked coldly.

"It's still unclear, but it's very likely that a third party did it... We investigated that newspaper, but just the day before yesterday, the newspaper's owner died... The trail went cold."

"Dead?!" Queen Estée frowned. It was clearly a case of killing to silence witnesses—simple, brutal, and effective.

"Prepare for a press conference. Since there's no way to suppress this, I can't remain silent any longer."

"Your will..."

The following day, in the reception room of the Queen's palace, Queen Estée, dressed in the mourning attire of the Kingdom of Bel, stood on the podium to deliver a speech.

"Regarding the incident in Mel Village, the Kingdom's intelligence department has launched an investigation, and the details will be released to the public as soon as possible..."

"...The kingdom already has suspects regarding the murderer, is working to identify them, and aims to apprehend them as soon as possible for a just, fair, and open trial..."

"...Next is the Q&A session."

The Q&A session was something Queen Estée Chalamet learned from Shangqiu, which minimizes suspicion. If things are suppressed after they've been exposed, it damages the credibility of the royal family. The Queen must step forward to give an explanation and state the royal family's position on the matter.

A reporter asked, "Your Majesty, could this incident provide a reason for war between the Empire and the Kingdom? As far as I know, the Empire's mech legions are already gathering at the border of the Kingdom of Bell... Does the Kingdom of Bell have any countermeasures in place?"

"I believe that at this time, the Empire is assembling mech legions on the border in order to prevent the same tragedy from happening again, and the Kingdom has also strengthened its border patrols."

Queen Estelle said shrewdly, "At this time, the entire continent is besieging the cult, and it would be unwise for the Empire to cause trouble now."

"Your Majesty, Princess Corliss is approaching marriageable age. Are there any suitable candidates?"
