Otherworld Girl Development Guide

"Good~"

Reaching the wall on the first floor where people measure height, Lingdang stepped forward and stood there. Zhou Mingrui glanced at her and said, "You're already 163cm..."

"Old Zhou~" Seeing Zhou Mingrui's surprised expression, Lingdang puffed out her cheeks and said, "I'm sixteen years old this year. According to the laws of the mainland, I'm already an adult."

After the bell came down, Theo leaned against the wall. Zhou Mingrui glanced at him and was also a little surprised; Theo was also 163 cm tall.

Theo looked at Zhou Mingrui, who was stunned, tilted his head, and reached out to pinch his cheek.

"Tio has come of age."

"It's okay, let's go eat."

After saying that, the three of them went into the restaurant on the first floor. Zhou Mingrui brought the prepared dishes to the table, and then the three of them poured juice, raised their glasses and said:

"We've achieved some great results in celebrating our fourth year, and we need to roll up our sleeves and work even harder to commemorate this anniversary!"

"Yes, we plan to pursue further studies this year. We've made some good breakthroughs in materials science, and some things should be achievable..."

The bell gently touched Zhou Mingrui's cup and said.

What are you planning to build?

"It's a secret." Tio also lightly touched his glass.

"cheers!?"

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

On the third planet of the solar system.

The rabbits were also immersed in the joy of the Spring Festival. The inclusion of new drugs in medical insurance made the little rabbits cheer. At least cancer and neurological diseases were no longer so terrifying, and at least they could be cured with money.

However, a certain island nation company that specializes in selling adhesives wasn't so happy.

Suddenly, a video with completely low-resolution image quality began circulating online, showing a unicorn soaring into the sky propelled by a rocket backpack... What annoyed them the most was that the video was real!

Watching frame by frame, there are no flaws whatsoever, and the Mach rings spraying liquid oxygen and kerosene are incredibly realistic, meaning that such a machine really exists.

There's also a close-up of the armor exploding in mid-air, which is basically the Unicorn launching an NTD attack. In the end, the decisive factor is the Unicorn's beam rifle... The beam is so blinding, it doesn't look like a standard weapon currently in service.

A rubber company has actually entered the military industry. Whether others believe it or not, the US certainly does, and quite convincingly so. After all, even a rubber company needs to design internal frameworks and external armor...

This kept Bandai's minister awake at night. Although the US had withdrawn, who knew how many darling agents were watching him outside his villa!

More and more "career elites" are applying for jobs every day, some of whom are even "SSR" characters that are usually hard to obtain. However, Bandai is a bit hesitant and really doesn't dare to use them!

On the other side of the ocean, in the darkest land of hope on Earth.

Every day is the same routine: innocent civilians are shot every day, there are free shopping events every day, and there are legitimate online gambling sites.

Even the laws of each state are constantly changing; it's not an exaggeration to say that laws change frequently, and some state laws are even seriously contradictory.

At this moment, Ai Ai has taken emergency control of the minister of the Bandai Lighthouse Country office. Beside Ai Ai, there is also a technical expert from Boston Dynamics.

"Sir...I need an explanation!"

The agent turned the laptop in front of him toward the head of Bandai's office in the United States. The head glanced at the laptop, and the first thing he noticed wasn't the image playing on the screen, but rather, despite the Dell logo, why was "Made in China" printed in an inconspicuous corner of the screen after it was turned around...

"Ahem!" The agent coughed lightly, signaling the minister to focus.

In the video, the money-grabbing monster soars into the sky... The minister's mouth dropped open. Even though he wasn't a professional, he knew how difficult it was to make something so aerodynamically inefficient fly... It was like a brute force brick flying!

“We need an explanation that we can accept…” The Boston Dynamics expert leaned forward, asking with a palpable sense of urgency, “…How did this thing fly? What materials did you use?”

"Sir, are you joking? We're just a model seller, not an arms dealer! You know, making a shell isn't too difficult."

Even the most clueless minister would know how different a unicorn model is from a real mecha!

The Boston Dynamics expert nodded, seemingly accepting his statement, and gestured for his subordinates to play the next segment.

After the unicorn separated from the rocket backpack in the sky, the armor began to transform, revealing the internal "psycho-frame". The transformation method was exactly the same as the transformation method designed by Bandai UC.

The minister's eyes widened, and he stopped thinking altogether.

"Sir, is there anything else you wish to say?"

At this point, the agent, who was very fond of love, pushed an agreement in front of the minister, who picked up the contract and quickly flipped through it.

The agreement strictly prohibits Bandai from using its own technology to produce military products; otherwise, the Beacon Congress will impose unilateral sanctions on Bandai!

"Sir, we are not joking. You need to understand the consequences of violating the contract!"

"I understand... I'll report to headquarters immediately!"

The minister wiped the sweat from his brow, took out his phone to dial headquarters, and cursed his boss inwardly, wondering if he was really secretly involved in military production...

Chapter 275, 59H (63/65)

"My dear King, the rabbits have already developed mobile weapons that can be used in actual combat. We can't fall behind!"

Despite being the representative of the military-industrial complex, all that could be gleaned from Trump's words was the word "funding"!

"Sir, I must remind you that I consulted military experts, and they said this thing is useless."

"Yes, I understand, Your Excellency. The United States doesn't need this, but that doesn't mean it can't do without it. We've already fallen behind!"

The two men stared at each other, neither willing to back down. Or rather, the kickbacks couldn't satisfy everyone involved on both sides. As for whether it could actually be produced, who cared?

They just need a reason. There are plenty of ways to appease the public. For example, they could weld a shell onto the structure and then use military secrets as an excuse to prevent citizens from getting close. That would be a satisfactory explanation.

I tried, but I didn't finish...

"We not only need to do it, but we also need to do some embellishment."

"That's right," Trump nodded. He understood. Some data could be exaggerated to prove the superiority of democratic seed oil.

Seed oil, whose seed is it? Democracy, whose democracy? Those who know, know.

However, compared to the head of Bandai in the United States, the distributors of the Chinese company were overjoyed.

Sales of the "money-grabbing monster" surged in a short period of time...

Meanwhile, the official Rabbit (China) organization also announced that some new weapons and equipment will be showcased at this year's airshow.

This only made the little rabbits even more excited. Last year, the Bluebird appeared, and then the White Bird appeared during the meteorite disaster. Who knows what scary things will appear at this year's airshow?

Moreover, the Pengkun II that has been floating overhead recently has completed its main external structure, but no one knows the exact progress or dares to ask.

I wonder how many wives military enthusiasts will have this year... but you can imagine how difficult it will be to buy tickets for the airshow.

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

The Dongfeng Mengshi stopped at the entrance of the Star Ring Research Institute. After Zhou Mingrui got out of the car, he walked towards the Star Ring Research Institute with Lingdang and Tio.

I saw Dou Zong and his wife taking a walk, with Dou Zong happily pushing a stroller.

"Boss! Senior Sister Lingdang! Senior Sister Tio! Happy New Year!"

Dou Zong said to Zhou Mingrui with a grin, then looked happily at the baby in the stroller.

"Happy Chinese New Year! Bringing the kids out for some fresh air?"

"Yes, the weather is nice today, so I came out for a stroll."

Zhou Mingrui stepped forward and looked at the stroller. The baby inside was sleeping soundly, and Zhou Mingrui couldn't resist pinching its chubby little face. He looked up and asked:

Have you decided on a name yet?

"I've decided, her name will be Dou Shuchen..."

"A nice name."

Shuchen, Shuchen, this word represents a certain longing, a certain hope.

What do you hope she'll be when she grows up?

"What to do?" Dou Zong scratched his head. "I don't know either. As long as she's healthy, that's good. It would be even better if she could contribute to the country. When I pass away, I'll let her go and see the future for me...our vast universe!"

Upon hearing this, Dou Zong's wife frowned, stepped forward, gently took his hand, and said, "How old are you!"

Immediately afterwards, Dou Zong began to show affection for his wife.

Watching the young couple bicker, Zhou Mingrui reached out and touched Dou Shuchen in the stroller. The newborn baby's bright eyes were full of curiosity as it reached out and grasped Zhou Mingrui's index finger. Zhou Mingrui's eyes widened instantly, feeling an indescribable shock, as if something was being passed on—the inheritance of civilization.

Bell and Theo walked up to Dou Shuchen's stroller, leaned over to look, their amber eyes filled with curiosity and affection. Human babies are so cute!

"Aren't they cute? The senior sisters are so beautiful, their babies will definitely be very cute too, though not as cute as mine," Dou Zong said smugly from the side.

(=￣ω￣=)?(=￣ω￣=)

"Tio..."

"A bell..."

Secret communications have begun in the NT chat room.

"The boss is here just in time. Let me show you the new drone we're bidding on."

“Okay, but you won’t get paid for this overtime…” Zhou Mingrui said half-jokingly.

"Aren't you, this 'capitalist,' also working overtime for free...?"

The two entered the Star Ring Research Institute while chatting and laughing, while Bell and Tio chatted with Dou Zong's wife behind them. It was unclear what the three of them were talking about.

Soon, Zhou Mingrui entered a hangar. Inside the hangar was a tank. He went up and looked at the road wheels. 12345... five pairs. He wasn't sure if it was a Type 59, because the tank's appearance was completely different, especially the turret, which was somewhat similar to the Type 99A.

“Type 59… I guess it should be considered an H-type…” Dou Zong said somewhat uncertainly. He wasn’t sure whether it was an H-type or not, because there weren’t many letters left for the number 59.

"...It was improved on the original Type 59 chassis, using a new 105mm electrothermal-chemical gun, and the armor was replaced with the latest carbon nanotube composite armor. The electronic system uses fiber optic transmission and a photonic chip processor..."

"I remember we had charged armor, didn't we?" Zhou Mingrui asked.

"Boss, that stuff is too expensive. The military has to consider costs. Even the Type 99A can only have charged armor added to key protective positions. For full charged armor, we'll have to wait for the Type 99B..."

The 99A external charged armor primarily strengthens the tank's top defense, protecting against anti-tank missiles and terminally guided munitions that attempt to attack from above.

"...But the 99A and 99B are not the same thing anymore. They'll be equipped with electromagnetic railguns, a comprehensive electric power system, energy-converting armor, a new data link, and they should also have an active laser interception system added..."

Zhou Mingrui nodded. The territory of the rabbit is too large. Replacing everything with the most advanced equipment would be too costly. Upgrading the existing weapons and equipment is far more cost-effective than building new ones. At most, the elite troops can be equipped with the Type 99B, and the replaced Type 99A can be given to other units. This process can be repeated gradually and slowly to upgrade the existing equipment, while ensuring that no major problems occur.

As for where the retired Type 59s will go? Maybe they'll be repurposed and sold to the Middle Eastern dog-owning tycoons... For the same price, Chinese products can crush their competitors.

"...A preliminary calculation suggests that modifying the Type 59 into an H-type tank would cost around 25 to 30 RMB. It would be absolutely on par with other third-generation tanks, and crucially, it's cheap to build and also robust and durable..."

Zhou Mingrui had just nodded when he was stunned by the next thing he saw: five pairs of road wheels.
