Otherworld Girl Development Guide

To celebrate the opening of the "Safety Center," large numbers of people took to the streets in an organized, disciplined, and premeditated manner to launch a zero-dollar shopping spree.

Luxury stores were patronized, and tobacco shops and supermarkets were emptied.

In the Presidential Office, Trump is meeting with NASA officials.

“My esteemed King…” the head of NASA headquarters in Texas said solemnly to the King, “…we need funding, a lot of funding!”

Trump frowned slightly... but still gestured for the other person to continue.

"The rabbit has already built a mass accelerator in a certain spring! My King, do you know what this means? It means that we have fallen behind in the exploration of the universe. This is the darkest day for democracy!"

Meanwhile, on the other side of the ocean, there's a rabbit.

Just as the little rabbits were discussing online what new gadgets would be unveiled at this year's international defense exhibition.

Not far from an important satellite launch center in the northwest of the rabbit.

A ten-kilometer-long "quality accelerator" of the Great Wall is under construction, with the construction unit being the China Nuclear Industry Group.

As for why it's a nuclear industry group, the main reason is the nuclear power plant that supplies power to this mass accelerator.

The entire mass accelerator is ten kilometers long. The mass accelerator itself is not a weapon; it was originally a space transportation device developed using the principle of electromagnetic projection.

Simply put, this is a giant multi-stage railgun that uses the Ampere force to accelerate spacecraft step by step to the first cosmic velocity, and then is recovered by the Rabbit space station in satellite orbit.

Once this mass accelerator is put into use, it will be time for China to build a kilometer-level space station.

After all, compared with traditional rocket launches, it is not only more efficient but also cheaper. By accelerating the special cargo container to a certain speed, the energy consumed in the journey to space is reduced, the payload is increased, and a lot of costs are saved.

For transporting cargo alone, mass accelerators can accelerate directly to speeds that allow them to escape Earth's gravity.

The 10-kilometer-long acceleration track has a straight acceleration section at the beginning to accelerate the cargo, and a high-angle section at the end to adjust the angle of the cargo.

This mass accelerator has a very nice name: "Asking the Heavens".

Three kilometers away from Wentian, a special airport is under construction. The most eye-catching feature is the four 5-kilometer-long high-standard runways, and the bird nests prepared for white birds at the end of the runways.

In the newly repaired Bird's Nest on Runway One, the first White Bird low-Earth orbit spacecraft, codenamed BN-2, delivered by Star Ring Heavy Industries to CASC, is undergoing takeoff preparations.

On the wings of the white bird, the huge rabbit-shaped aerospace logo is clearly visible. The white fuselage with blue lines gives it a distinctly rabbit-themed feel.

"Dear viewers, hello, I'm Bingbing..."

The sweet-looking reporter Bingbing is live-streaming from inside Shiratori, and it's being broadcast live on a small, obscure website. The chat is flooded with comments calling her "waifu"...

"...It's an honor to be one of the lucky audience members to personally experience a low-orbit journey..."

"...But first, I need to change my clothes."

After speaking, Bingbing entered the changing room inside the White Bird building. A short while later, Bingbing, wearing an anti-gravity suit, came out of the changing room.

A large number of comments floated across the screen, most of which were: "Unlock new skin".

"What I am wearing now is the spacesuit that my country has recently developed. It can be used not only as a spacesuit but also as an anti-G suit."

"Hmm...much lighter than I expected..."

Bingbing took a few steps inside the cabin and said with some surprise.

"Next, let's have an expert introduce this new spacesuit..."

After he finished speaking, the camera turned to a shy-looking young man who looked to be under forty.

"Hello, Mr. Liu, what new technologies are used in our new spacesuits?"

"Hello everyone..." Engineer Liu greeted everyone somewhat shyly before beginning his introduction:

"...The new spacesuit is woven from carbon nanotubes and polymer materials, with a special heat-insulating coating on the surface. Its temperature regulation and communication systems can ensure astronauts have four hours of time for off-site activities..."

"...Not only that, considering the possibility of dangerous situations, the new spacesuit also has a life support system inside. In the event of danger, it can be activated actively. The system will inject hibernation fluid into the body to minimize the body's consumption. The life support time of 72 hours is enough for our White Bird to bring the astronauts home."

"Thank you for the introduction, Mr. Liu. Next, the White Bird will take off, and our viewers will experience with me how it flies into space."

After speaking to Bingbing, they passed through the various cabins and entered the cockpit.

Inside the cockpit, the six crew members were conducting final pre-flight checks, while Bingbing sat in the special VIP seat and fastened her seatbelt.

"Hmm... Ladies and gentlemen, the seats are quite comfortable. If I didn't know we were going to space, I would think I was in the first class of an airplane."

As Bingbing spoke, she broadcast live using the camera on her anti-G suit. As a low-orbit spacecraft, the instruments on the control panel looked similar to those in civil aviation, but the truly confidential information was projected onto the pilot's pupils, which was invisible to outsiders.

Some cabins inside the aircraft will not be pixelated, except for a few important departments, such as the laser cluster pod. Once you enter, the image will automatically switch from 4K to full-definition quality.

Fifteen minutes later, the crew completed the self-check of the White Bird II, confirmed that there were no abnormalities in the aircraft, and the ground crew confirmed that the White Bird's shell was not damaged before quickly leaving the vicinity of the White Bird.

The captain opened the communication channel:

"Tower...Tower...BN-2, all clear. Requesting takeoff...Over."

"BN-2, this is the control tower. The flight path is cleared for takeoff!"

Chapter 280 Breaking Free from the Shackles of Gravity

"Airway cleared, BN-2 is cleared for takeoff!"

"BN-2 received."

As the control tower issued takeoff clearance, the crew conducted final flight checks, and the tow truck pulled the White Bird II towards the end of runway one...

"Dear viewers, look over there..."

Bingbing turned the camera toward the "Wentian" mass accelerator. Although it was far away, she could still vaguely see the track rising from the rear half of the mass accelerator. An epic feeling welled up in her heart, as if the track would keep climbing, breaking free from the shackles of gravity, and directly entering the universe.

"Dear viewers, the name of the Wentian Quality Accelerator is taken from Qu Yuan's 'Heavenly Questions'... It embodies the spirit of bold doubt and the pursuit of truth."

During Bingbing's commentary, the tow truck finally pulled BN-2 to the takeoff position on the runway. The tow truck then drove away, and a small yellow pickup truck would accompany it in another lane parallel to the runway, observing and recording the takeoff of the white bird throughout the process.

hum!

The engines of the BN-2 started, and a roaring sound filled the air as the crew began preparations for takeoff.

"I am the captain. 120 seconds until takeoff. All personnel, please prepare."

Following the captain's instructions, the passengers checked the securing of the equipment and tools inside the containers before taking their seats and fastening their seatbelts.

"Takeoff countdown...10..."

A soft female voice sounded in the cabin, and Bingbing's heart began to race. Her face flushed as she said:

"Dear viewers, I'm a little nervous right now. Although I've received training, I'm still very excited... This is our own low-Earth orbit space shuttle!"

"3...2...1...Takeoff!"

As the captain pushes the throttle valve, he releases the brakes...

hum!

The BN-2's engines emitted long exhaust plumes, propelling the White Bird along the runway, its speed increasing rapidly...

"Dear viewers, I'm off! I have some great news to share: thanks to the use of the new satellite, I can broadcast the entire process live for you!"

The BN-2 taxied for over 3500 meters on the high-specification runway before its front landing gear finally left the ground.

"BN-2 report: All normal!"

After the information was announced, the captain pulled the side stick, and the white low-orbit spacecraft, like the most elegant white swan, raised its neck high and flew into the sky.

The white bird flew higher and higher.

"Entering HG (HIGH-G) mode, everyone get ready..."

The co-pilot nodded, reached out and pressed a button in front of him, and the seat reclined to reduce the pilot's workload.

"Prepare the rocket engines..."

The captain gave the order, and the co-pilot began to check the status of the rocket engine. After confirming that everything was normal, he quietly started the large orbital engine on the BN-2, where gravity was shielded.

"Countdown before ignition..."

"Phew... Ladies and gentlemen, to be honest, I'm a little nervous..."

Bingbing's breathing became a little rapid. It wasn't that she hadn't ridden a high-speed roller coaster before, but compared to this, a roller coaster was just a toy.

The comments section immediately filled with "Hug my wife!"...

"Countdown 3...2...1...Rocket engine ignition!"

The moment the rocket engine start button is pressed, the liquid oxygen-kerosene rocket engine on the White Bird starts, while the conventional engine shuts down.

Suddenly, everyone felt their bodies being heavily pressed onto their seats, and every movement required them to fight against the G-force pressing down on them. The crew members who had undergone long-term training were fine, but Bingbing felt that she was already having trouble breathing, but she still gritted her teeth and persevered.

The sun shone on BN-2, which, like the brightest new star, flew steadily towards a lower orbit. Looking out the window, one could see the curvature of the Earth...

Soon, as her body gradually adapted to the G-force, Bingbing felt better, while the crew members next to her were checking the flight status of BN-2.

It is unknown how much time has passed. Bingbing, in her interaction with the audience, did not notice that the co-pilot had shut down the propulsion engine. At that moment, BN-2 also flew out of the atmosphere and entered outer space.

At this moment, HG mode was deactivated, the seat returned to its original position, and at the captain's signal, Bingbing unbuckled her seatbelt and immediately felt her body float up.

"Dear viewers, whew...ha...this feeling...is truly, truly unforgettable. I feel like I've broken free from the shackles of gravity..."

Bingbing turned the camera towards Earth, and the blue planet was so beautiful.

Inside the cabin, the other passengers unbuckled their seatbelts and began bustling about. They were about to put on a spectacular show, and in front of the entire world, so they had to be fully prepared!

"It's so beautiful, this is our home..."

After interacting with the comments for a while and incidentally killing off several chuunibyou (delusional) comment groups, Bingbing continued:

"We have already left the atmosphere and are using inertia to fly towards our space station. This time, BN-2 will resupply the space station and bring our astronauts home."

Time passed second by second, and suddenly Bingbing felt that the white bird's flight posture had changed; it had flipped over...

"Dear viewers, what follows is a gift from the rabbit aerospace team to the people of the whole country... As for what it is, we'll keep it a secret for now!"

After saying that, Bingbing put on her helmet, entered a compartment in the middle of BN-2, and secured herself with a safety rope.

Then, with the hum of the engines, the back hatch of the White Bird opened to both sides. Through specially treated tempered glass reinforced with carbon nanotubes, Bingbing watched as a platform slowly emerged from the back of the aircraft...

The platform's two-way stabilizer was activated, and then, with adjustments made by the operator, the adorable "big eyes" looked towards the Earth.

Meanwhile, on a 10,000-ton flatbed ship in the territorial waters of the Rabbit, white-painted metal plates were laid flat on the deck.

In Bingbing's live stream, Honghong appeared in the live stream room, and not far behind her was a white steel plate.

"Hello everyone, I'm Honghong. Behind me is the location for today's demonstration. Let's wait and see what happens next!"
