Otherworld Girl Development Guide

After finishing his glass of soda water, Zhou Mingrui said to the waiter.

"Don't drink too much, you'll need to go to the bathroom soon," Shi Qiang reminded him from the side.

Time ticked by, and finally Zhou Mingrui saw a glittering silver figure at the doorway. Ellie, dressed in an evening gown, was helping a sprightly old gentleman as they walked toward Zhou Mingrui. Shi Qiang and the surrounding security personnel consciously dispersed.

Zhou Mingrui quickly stood up and went to greet him. He immediately felt Mayor Doyle scrutinizing him with a critical eye. He hurriedly said, "Hello, Mr. Doyle, nice to meet you. My name is... no... cough cough, Zhou Mingrui!"

A clear gaze, impeccable attire, a confident smile, and a slightly nervous expression... This made Mayor Doyle nod in approval. Nervousness was a normal reaction; if he were too calm, it would actually make him a little worried.

"Hello, young man, Ellie and I have mentioned you. Don't be nervous."

"You mentioned yourself?" Zhou Mingrui looked at Ellie next to Doyle and saw that her face was slightly flushed and she glanced at Zhou Mingrui.

"Young man, this is not the place to chat."

"This way, Mr. Doyle."

Zhou Mingrui led the two to the reserved private room.

After Mayor Doyle and Ellie were seated, Zhou Mingrui sat down and gestured for the waiter to serve the food.

What we eat isn't important; what we talk about is!

"First of all, as Ellie's grandfather, I am very grateful for the care Ellie received in the Abyss Sea."

Doyle said from the bottom of his heart that as an old man, Ellie was his only granddaughter, and if anything happened to her, it would be a fatal blow to him.

"So, young man... I hope you can understand that Ellie is my only granddaughter. Regarding her choice of a future partner, while I respect her personal opinion, I also have some concerns. Can you give Ellie happiness?"

Happiness is not so easy to obtain; even if you have money, you may not necessarily feel happy.

"Mr. Doyle, please rest assured, I will do my best to give Ellie happiness, both materially and spiritually."

Zhou Mingrui said seriously that he was quite confident about this. Ellie had a great personality, was very beautiful, and had silver hair! She was well-educated and didn't have any spoiled princess attitude. As a partner, Zhou Mingrui was very satisfied.

"Young man, I have another question. Ellie's father married into the Doyle family. I wonder if you would be interested in developing a career in the political arena in Krobel?"

"Uh..."

Zhou Mingrui was stunned. Ask him to be a live-in son-in-law? If he were to become a live-in son-in-law, Rabbit would probably go crazy!

This is a matter of principle, and also a matter of a man's dignity. Zhou Mingrui will absolutely not become a live-in son-in-law!

"...I'm sorry, Mr. Doyle, but I'm from Shangqiu, so could you leave Ellie there?"

After Zhou Mingrui finished speaking, silence fell over the dinner table.

Rise of the Apes (Episode 122) (26/52)

"Old Zhou, what's wrong?"

"Old Zhou?"

Bell and Theo looked at Zhou Mingrui, who was sitting on the sofa in a daze, and went over to sit on either side of him, their amber cat eyes looking at him with concern.

"It's nothing, I'm just contemplating life."

Yesterday's meeting with the parents could be described as both a success and a failure. It seems that Mayor Doyle wants Zhou Mingrui to marry into the family, but that's impossible. However, Mayor Doyle didn't object to his relationship with Ellie... Does that mean he tacitly approves?

"Oh..."

Bell leaned against Lao Zhou, and Theo leaned against the other side, just like two kittens comforting their human.

"Old Zhou, you're still young, you can wait a little longer..."

"?"

What are you waiting for?

The Abyss Sea.

Level 4 Biochemistry Research Laboratory, Project Group 1.

Behind the aluminum oxide glass, a gorilla with red lines parasitizing it sat in the experimental chamber eating fruit, looking up at the humans outside the chamber, a hint of wisdom flashing in its eyes from time to time.

To ensure the chimpanzee could survive the upcoming experiments, the experimental subjects had been fed until they were plump and round.

"Academician Lu, the red line has completely parasitized '101' and is now stabilizing. Data shows that its condition is completely normal. Through testing, in terms of intelligence, it is already equivalent to a 15-year-old human and is constantly improving. It is currently unclear what the upper limit is."

"Unsure of the upper limit..." Academician Lu frowned slightly. From a human perspective, this chimpanzee could never leave the laboratory. Humans are at the top of the food chain, and no creature can shake that position!

The scenario depicted in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is absolutely impossible. Anyone who dares to challenge it will be stripped of all humanity and morality, and shown what a terrifying upright ape truly is!

"Prepare for the truth experiment."

"clear."

A pill of truth, with a precisely calculated dosage, was delivered by a robotic arm into an aluminum oxynitride-sealed experimental chamber.

The chimpanzee stopped what it was doing, looked up at Academician Lu behind the glass, and showed a human-like happy expression on its face.

Academician Lu stared coldly at the chimpanzee, his eyes devoid of any emotion. For him, compassion was a luxury.

Previously, researchers had used red sugar cubes to paralyze chimpanzees multiple times. The chimpanzees slowly approached the red pills, and after discovering that they were sweet, they grabbed them and stuffed them into their mouths.

A few seconds later, the chimpanzee showed a painful expression on its face, fell to the ground and began to convulse violently. Truth was undergoing a genetic mutation, and after Red Line discovered the abnormal state of the host, it immediately secreted biological enzymes in an attempt to stabilize the host's condition.

"Record the data!" Academician Lu said coldly, his eyes filled with anticipation for what reaction the truth and the red line of precise dosage would have.

The truth is that the gene mutation occurred, and the biological enzymes secreted by the red thread, together with the mutated mitochondria, stabilized the state of the DNA, preventing it from collapsing. The two sides reached a certain balance. In order to maintain this consumption, the fat in the gorilla's body was quickly converted into energy to replenish the energy consumed by the body.

During this process, the gorilla's genes gradually converged, and eventually the gorilla's body gradually became thin and slender... Academician Lu narrowed his eyes slightly, as if the gorilla had been genetically optimized.

"Draw blood for analysis..."

"understand!"

The robotic arm swiftly pierced the paralyzed chimpanzee's body and extracted a vial of blood for comparison with the blood before and after the mutation.

Four hours later, the assistant knocked on Academician Lu's office door and entered.

"Master, we've discovered another special biological enzyme and are trying to isolate it and study its function..."

Academician Lu nodded and looked at his deputy, asking, "How is 101 doing?"

"He's awake. I anesthetized him with anesthetic gas and conducted a full physical examination. The MRI revealed that his nervous system is more responsive, his internal organs are stronger, and his physical condition has significantly improved..."

At this point, the assistant paused, and after Academician Lu had processed the information, continued, "...theoretically, physical fitness has doubled."

Academician Lu pondered. If 101's body had become stronger, then if the Red Thread and Truth were used properly, they could theoretically enhance the human body. However, the risks were too great. The nature of the Red Thread was still unclear, and it was also unclear what materials the Truth was made of.

"Continue to observe 101's condition. Note one thing... 101 is now physically strong and intelligent. If it were to explode and injure people, it would pose a great threat to our researchers. Also, the standard anesthetic dosage may not be suitable for 101. Increase the anesthetic dosage!"

"Understood, Academician Lu! I will request security from my superiors immediately to ensure that no accidents occur during the experiment."

Just as the assistant was about to leave, Academician Lu called him back.

"By the way, how effective is our anti-cancer drug 1964 in clinical trials?"

"Master, the results are excellent. The pancreatic cancer is under control, and the patient's condition is now stable..."

The clinical effects of 1964 were unexpectedly good. Not only Academician Lin, but other academicians who had been exposed to radiation for a long time also received 1964. Those with cancer stabilized and gradually recovered, while those without cancer experienced a preventive effect.

1964 was great in every way, except for one thing... it was too expensive!

You can't just open a pig farm, right? Other pig farms raise pigs, but this pig farm has all the pigs infected with red line parasites, which are used to separate 1964... It's not that it's impossible, but as I said before, red line is something that humans don't understand. If you take too big a step, you'll end up with something terrible!

The top brass of the rabbit (referring to a group of leaders) always have a long-term vision and would never do anything that is short-sighted or opportunistic.

"...However, Academician Lin can't stay idle; he's already started working. The Shangqiu Commercial Controlled Nuclear Fusion Reactor is about to undergo an ignition test."

"If you count the time, it's been two years already, and we should be ready to start the experiment by now."

Shangqiu does have plans to build a mass accelerator. The reason why we still use rockets to launch satellites instead of building a large mass accelerator is because of the electricity problem. How much electricity would such a large mass accelerator use!

If all of Shangqiu's electricity were supplied to the quality accelerator, then every time the quality accelerator was used, the city's commercial/industrial power supply would be severely disrupted.

Countless programmers smashed their tables, countless authors smashed their computers...

Once Mingrui Star achieves a breakthrough in controlled nuclear fusion technology and can operate stably, then the rabbit on the other side of Earth will reduce its reliance on coal-fired power and decrease carbon emissions.

"We are walking on the main road, and the scenery ahead is incredibly vast!"

Chapter 123 Awakening from Ignorance

In the kitchen on the first floor of the villa, Zhou Mingrui, wearing an apron, hummed a little tune as he made breakfast, showing no trace of yesterday's confusion.

Tap tap tap... The sound of slippers clicking on the floor came from the kitchen doorway, and there was Lingdang, wearing a little bunny pajama.

One of the straps of her nightgown slipped down slightly. Lingdang rubbed her eyes, her amber eyes scanning Zhou Mingrui. Seeing that he had perked up again, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Old Zhou, what's for breakfast?"

"Fish fillet".

"OK..."

After saying that, Lingdang went back to the second floor. A little while later, Theo came down wearing Misi pajamas, stared at him for a while, and then went back upstairs to wash up.

Breakfast was placed on the table, and two kittens dressed in casual Hanfu sat opposite them.

"Let's eat. After we eat, I'll take you to see the stars!"

"Stars?" Tio asked in a monotone tone.

"Yes, light up a star!"

(=￣ω￣=)?(=￣ω￣=)

Immediately, Theo and Bell's expressions became expectant... Most importantly, it seemed that the woman named Ellie hadn't come today, which meant that this was their trip with Old Zhou's family.

After breakfast, Zhou Mingrui, along with Lingdang and Tio, drove towards the "Suirenshi II" controlled nuclear fusion experimental reactor in Shangqiu.

The Suirenshi No. 2 experimental reactor was launched by China Nuclear Industry Construction Group after the emergence of room-temperature superconducting materials, and the experimental reactor was re-optimized.

Because Earth is not conducive to secrecy, while the rabbit was tinkering with experimental reactors on Earth, it had already shifted its research focus to Mingrui Star.

The "Suirenshi-2" uses a DT stellarator structure. A stellarator is a magnetic confinement fusion experimental device with an external helical winding.

In addition to room-temperature superconductors, crystalline thermal insulation materials are also used. The photonic chip/particle bandwidth, made of fractal silicon, not only transmits information faster but also has a larger bandwidth, assisting AI calculations and coping with plasma turbulence.

The experimental reactor uses a strong magnetic field from a room-temperature superconductor to confine the violent plasma energy, or helium generated by the fusion reaction, which exists in the form of plasma at temperatures of hundreds of millions of degrees... The nuclear waste produced by fusion is itself helium at hundreds of millions of degrees.

The sun is a natural, controlled nuclear fusion star; stars use gravity to bind their raging energy, while humans use magnetism.
