Otherworld Girl Development Guide

A rat wielding a strange weapon fired at a fleeing ratman. The ratman struck was propelled like iron filings drawn by a magnet, flying straight towards the powerful ratman and crashing into the spikes at the weapon's tip...

With a soft thud, the ratman, pierced by the spikes, struggled for a moment before falling silent.

"Charge! YES! YES!"

Seven or eight rat-men, each wielding a strange weapon, charged forward.

"Attention! Watch out! Take cover!"

The platoon leader in charge of commanding the support troops quickly noticed the anomaly; the ratmen carrying "guns" made him more vigilant.

Upon receiving the order, the soldiers quickly concealed themselves behind the quadrupedal mechs and opened fire on the special rats. After shooting down three or four rats, the remaining ratmen immediately chose to lie down on the ground.

It was obvious that these ratmen were more skilled in combat than their kind; at least they knew to crawl forward... After using the flesh and blood of their kind as cover to get within a hundred meters, they pulled the trigger on a four-legged mech.

A powerful attraction emanated from the guns in their hands, but it was clear these rat-men with limited brain capacity didn't understand that forces are reciprocal; if the opponent's mass was too great, it would produce the opposite effect...

To the bewilderment of one of the rat-men, instead of being pulled towards him, he was dragged along and crashed headfirst into the carbon nanotube composite armor of the four-legged mech.

With a crisp snap, the ratman's fragile neck bone broke, and it fell to the ground convulsing. However, a soldier quickly stepped forward, kicked away the weapon beside it, and then ended its suffering with a 5.8mm bullet.

The soldier stepped forward and glanced at the weapon in the ratman's hand, then frowned. These were no ordinary soldiers; each of them had at least a postgraduate degree and naturally understood the relationship between civilization and productivity.

The weapon in the rat-man's hand appeared to be some kind of firearm, but several sharp spikes were haphazardly tied to the front with rope. However, the manufacturing processes of the two sides were almost thousands of years apart...

The ratmen, whose technology is almost stuck in the Stone Age, could never possibly produce such a futuristic weapon.

"Platoon leader, something's up..."

The platoon leader quickly stepped forward, glanced at the futuristic-looking weapon, then waved to the chemical defense soldier, nodded to him, and took out a portable disinfectant spray to spray the weapon from front to back to disinfect any viruses or other harmful substances.

After confirming that everything was clean, the platoon leader bent down, picked up the gun from the ratman's hand, removed the unsightly spikes, and sent the complete image of the gun to his superiors via the battlefield monitor on his helmet.

At this moment, the superiors finally understood why they hadn't found anything useful in the excavation site... After being swept up by these ratmen, anything of value had long been taken away.

However, this is also a warning; who knows what advanced weapons might be lurking in the rat's nest that they are unaware of... It feels like a baby holding the button to launch a nuclear bomb.

Chapter 299 The Kiss of Gravity

Half an hour later, the underground ratmen's attack was repelled by reinforcements.

Hundreds of ratmen corpses lay scattered across the excavation site, and soldiers used nets to finish off the ratmen on the ground.

Each ratman will be shot once more to ensure the other is completely dead.

Soon, the chemical defense troops that arrived later began to disinfect the rat-men's corpses to ensure that they were inactivated and to prevent viral and bacterial infections.

"Let's go, we're safe now..."

The team leader spoke to the research team members hiding in the spire, and then withdrew from the spire under the protection of soldiers.

As they emerged from the spire, all members of the expedition team felt a tightness in their throats. Countless gray rats lay dead in the excavation site, each emitting a foul stench. Their festering skin, multicolored entrails, and severed limbs formed an abstract painting...

"Shen Jing, don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Liu Xin leaned closer to Shen Jing and gripped the shovel in his hand.

"Thank you!"

Shen Jing said softly, drew her pistol, and fired a final shot into the head of a rat-man that was still twitching.

"Hahaha..."

The team leader next to him burst into laughter. Who was protecting whom was still unknown. He knew that Shen Jing had trained in martial arts and had taught several ungrateful hooligans a lesson with Bajiquan when she was on Earth.

Compared to the relaxed state of the scientific expedition team, the security personnel inside the ruins were far from relaxed. While they were diligently cleaning up the ratmen, they remained on high alert.

The ratmen likely possess weapons left behind by ancient civilizations, which would cause them considerable trouble.

During the sweeping operation, three or four special firearms were seized.

These futuristic firearms, with their casings made of some unknown metallic material and featuring LED-like lines on their bodies, were transported to the ground after undergoing basic disinfection procedures.

These firearms and armor were delivered to Shangqiu overnight, where experts will study them.

After the research team members arrived on the ground by winch, they immediately entered the isolation procedure... First, they underwent full-body disinfection, followed by a month-long isolation period.

Shen Jing walked towards the isolation cabin. Just then, the sound of propellers churning the air came from the sky. Several large gyroplanes were seen continuously transporting quadruped mechs to the top of the ruins.

"Ok?"

She noticed that these mechs were different from the ones she was used to; their weapon systems were more like they had been completely replaced with laser weapons... For example, those iconic, cute big eyes that could kill anyone they glared at.

As she saw it, the next step would be to clear out the ratmen. Considering that the ratmen might have some highly lethal weapons, almost all the personnel involved in the clearing operation were drones, while the personnel on the ground would operate the drones.

In addition to considering the logistical supply issues in underground operations, all drones involved in the operation were equipped with cluster laser weapons that could fire continuously as long as there was electricity, in addition to rockets and conventional munitions, in order to reduce the logistical burden.

One by one, the quadrupedal mechs descended into the underground ruins via winches. These highly aggressive underground ratmen are not protected by law, and it is unlikely that any environmental organization will step forward to speak for them.

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

Shangqiu.

Institute of Physics.

On the laboratory's testing table, four weapons seized from the ratmen were laid out, and an expert in a white lab coat was studying them.

Of course, the first thing to do is to remove all the unsightly things that the ratmen are tied to... In the words of experts, it's simply a desecration of technological creations.

First, an X-ray scan was performed. In some areas, the X-ray could not penetrate, but in others, the internal structure could be clearly seen.

"Does this place look familiar to you...?" an expert said, stroking his chin as he looked at the internal structure.

"It seems somewhat similar to Orbal Technology?"

"Hmm...but it doesn't seem like a magic gun; it looks more like some kind of tool?"

......

The experts quickly concluded after discussion that the weapon, or rather the tool, was powered by a force.

After determining the basic purpose of this object and repeatedly watching the battlefield recorder footage of how the ratmen used it to commit suicide, the experts began testing it.

He picked up the force-guiding tool in his hand, pulled the trigger towards the weights on the test platform, and an invisible energy field was immediately generated. The weights on the test platform were then attracted and suspended in front of the force-guiding tool.

"Is this a magnetic field?"

This effect has led experts to think of magnetic fields, but further testing is needed to determine the exact principle behind it.

"It's still unclear. Let's try using ceramic items instead."

Before long, a ceramic artifact was placed on the test bench. When the ancient civilization creation was restarted, the ceramic block was also attracted to it, which made the experts present look at each other in bewilderment.

After continuous testing, experts discovered that once activated, this ancient artifact would attract objects regardless of whether they were magnetic or not, and its operating principle was somewhat similar to that of a gravitational field.

"This is a gravitational field! A traction beam!"

"That's right. Since the orbal engine can shield gravity, there's no reason why this principle can't be reversed!"

The academicians had already begun researching the indigenous people's orbal energy engine, but that thing was a black box. Forcibly disassembling it wouldn't destroy it, but it would also render the orbal energy engine unusable... This made the rabbits cover their eyes while getting a little angry, which affected their Sharingan.

You know, the rabbit is a master of "Reverse Engineering V". Now that he can't activate his Sharingan, the petty rabbit is a little resentful.

However, experts still speculate theoretically that the orbal engine is definitely not as simple as just shielding gravity.

The appearance of such ancient artifacts now proves their conjecture that the ancient civilization of Mingrui Star has come into contact with "gravity" and is able to make preliminary use of it!

"hiss..."

The experts present all gasped in shock. What did this mean?!

This means that if they can grasp this principle, then in addition to having a basic understanding of magnetism, one of the four fundamental forces, the rabbits will also have a grasp of gravity!

This is a major breakthrough in physics!

All the experts present had red eyes, especially the academicians who studied fundamental physics. This was gravity, one of the ways to access the "truth"!

"Then let's use Wangshu as the code name for this tool."

Wangshu, meaning the moon, also represents universal gravitation.

Chapter 300 Traction Beam

Three days later, the academicians were working day and night on the research of "Wangshu". If it weren't for the sanitation worker's coaxing and cajoling, these old children would probably have wanted to live in the laboratory forever.

The working principle of the Wangshu gun has been preliminarily determined: it uses the gravitational field generated inside the muzzle to emit a beam of traction to pull objects within a 100-meter range.

The so-called traction beam is actually a high-density stream of gravitons that can generate high-intensity gravitational waves and gravitational fields, attracting the target object.

Humans on Earth can already fire tractor beams, but compared to the Wangshu... it's like the difference between the most primitive bow and arrow and an electromagnetic cannon.

"Wangshu must have been some kind of transport tool..."

The researcher used a gravity gun to pull a 250kg box in front of him... Seeing the box floating in the air, the academicians present became excited.

"Quickly, reverse the force field!"

The researcher in charge of the experiment nodded, flipped the switch on the Wangshu, and the Wangshu was launched with a thud, hitting the steel plate with a thud.

Several experts quickly took out nitroglycerin tablets and fed them to the patients.

Wangshu can not only attract, but also launch!

It has a complete gravity conversion device, plus a mature traction beam! It's like opening the door to a new world for them.

Once the rabbit understands Wangshu, it can suck all the feathers off the eagle.

While the US aircraft carriers were still using arresting cables, our Chinese carriers were already using tractor beams for landings!

As Feiji approached the aircraft carrier deck, it landed steadily under the attraction of the traction beam. It didn't even need the electromagnetic catapult at the front of the deck; the force field generated by the device buried under the deck propelled the aircraft out.

This is the key to entering the interstellar world!

The effect of tractor beams in space is much greater than on a planet!

Furthermore, once gravity is mastered, controlled nuclear fusion, which was supposed to take "five years," could be reduced to "one year"!

If stars use gravitational fields to confine their raging energy, then if humans combine gravitational and magnetic fields, there's no reason they wouldn't be able to control fusion reactions.

Once the first controlled nuclear fusion reactor is operational, all that remains is continuous optimization and patching!

Several academicians researching fundamental physics had bloodshot eyes. They knew all too well how difficult it was to make progress in materials science, which was almost entirely achieved through trial and error.

They know exactly how certain materials are composed, but the external environment doesn't allow it. If an artificial gravitational field exists, they can synthesize some special materials directly!
