Otherworld Girl Development Guide

The cost of the materials may be shockingly high, but who cares how expensive it is if it can be made?

And most importantly, faster-than-light travel is achieved by warping space with a strong gravitational field, allowing space to push the spaceship forward, thereby circumventing the speed limit of light and achieving faster-than-light travel!

"We're just a hair's breadth away from mastering gravity..."

"Yes, as long as we can study the working principle of Wangshu, we will have a preliminary understanding of gravity!"

Just as the academicians said, the orbal engine used by the native civilization on Mingrui Star shields gravity and is considered the foundation of the technology tree. As long as the principle is mastered, the rabbit can immediately turn the orbal engine into a gravity field generator!

Although the orbal engine is still a technological black box, once the principles are understood and there is a physical object, the rabbit will be able to create an orbal engine by hand one day by activating his Sharingan!

"that..."

"Could we first test a traction beam? Pengkun-1 is about to undergo its test flight..." Among a group of academicians, the old man asked in a low voice. He dared not speak loudly among these national treasures.

It was only then that the academicians present realized that there was also a naval general there.

"Just wait, don't even think about it for at least a year or two."

It takes time to transform technology into a physical product. It's impossible to research the principle today and build a physical product tomorrow. Design and continuous optimization are still required.

"How about we borrow one of Wangshu's to try out first?"

The old man thought for a moment and asked, "Since there are four Wangshu swords in total, it shouldn't be a problem to borrow one, right?"

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

Buzz!

Driven by electricity, the huge turboprop engine slowly rotates, driving the fan blades to stir the air and provide thrust for Pengkun-1.

The massive Pengkun-1 hull flew slowly through the air, like the most elegant whale swimming in the sea, leaving a long contrail behind it.

After a year of continuous construction, the main structure of Pengkun has been completed, with only outfitting remaining.

On the bridge of Pengkun, several captains looked at Wangshu in a box with suspicion. Standing next to the box were two people specifically responsible for her security, and a researcher.

Is this thing reliable?

"It should be fine. After all, according to laboratory tests, as long as it's secured, it can easily pull an object weighing one ton. Besides, the Bluebird being tested itself has a force-guided engine..."

The researcher explained from the side, which also dispelled the captain's concerns, since they were always skeptical of new gadgets.

The captains looked at it and finally nodded in agreement to the test.

"Clear the deck and allow the Bluebird to land..."

Soon, the flight deck of Pengkun-1 was cleared to avoid potential casualties in the event of an accident.

The researchers secured Wangshu to the frame to prevent her from being pulled away by the traction beam like that rat-man... after all, forces are reciprocal.

After preparations were completed, the Qingniao tactical reconnaissance aircraft slowly approached Pengkun-1 from behind and began the landing procedure.

However, this command is somewhat special, requiring the orbal engine to be kept running throughout...

Squeak... The optical eyeshadow in front of the bluebird slightly retracted, locking onto the landing aid and adjusting its flight path...

The two sides gradually approached each other... When they were still two hundred meters away, the researcher stepped forward and activated the switch on Wangshu, and a beam of traction light shot out and shone on the bluebird.

Guided by the beam of light, the bluebird drifted straight toward the deck...

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

The Bluebird's AI immediately calculated the flight path. After confirming that it would not crash into the Pengkun ship's hull, it manipulated the wings in conjunction with the traction beams and finally landed steadily on the deck.

In the flight control room, several captains' eyes lit up as they looked at the landing method, which was much simpler than arresting cables/grab arms.

That's how they are; they're skeptical of equipment that hasn't been tested, but if it's reliable, then it's a good thing!

When will this ship landing aid be deployed?

Chapter 301 Rat Extermination Operation

Shangqiu Institute of Physics.

Several academicians watched Wangshu's experiment—the effect of a tractor beam on ballistics—with tense expressions behind the alumina glass.

One experimenter, wearing a full-body bulletproof vest, fired a traction beam forward, while another experimenter held a pistol, ready to fire a bullet through the traction beam.

"Experiment countdown...5..."

The experimenter adjusted the gravitational field output power of the Wangshu (a type of ancient Chinese telescope), and fired a traction beam forward ten meters...

"3...2...1..."

boom!

Another experimenter pulled the trigger, and the 9mm bullet flew forward from the barrel. As it passed through an invisible traction beam, with a whoosh, the bullet was captured by the beam. Its kinetic energy was continuously dissipated, and finally, its trajectory was distorted, causing it to limply collide with the target...

"Very good, record the data and prepare for the next shot..."

After the assistant recorded the output power of the traction beam, the second test was conducted...

Through continuous testing, Wangshu's traction beam can easily restrain bullets fired from a pistol.

"Change to a rifle..."

The lab technician nodded and switched to a Type 95 assault rifle to continue the experiment...

The final data showed that Wangshu's traction beam could bind 5.8mm bullets within its beam, attracting them to the gravitational field. Then, as the gravitational field reversed its output, the 5.8mm bullets shot out directly, hitting the target with a thud. The unprotected target was riddled with holes.

After all, each 5.8mm bullet loses its static balance, which is equivalent to firing a dumdum bullet.

Then, the effect on 12.7mm bullets was tested. Although not as noticeable as on rifles, it still affected the bullet's trajectory, distorting it...

This gave the academician a bright idea: if this gravitational field technology could be miniaturized and mounted on a light vehicle or aircraft, it could create an effect similar to a deflection shield!

We rabbits are peace-loving rabbits, so I, the rabbit, have started building up defenses. What do you say, America?

Imagine a large group of American soldiers desperately firing at a quadrupedal mech, only to discover they're actually shooting at aliens... Suddenly, Bengbu was speechless.

I wonder what the Red Army will feel when facing the Great Demon King Manshaya, who may have been equipped with a "shield" and charged armor, during next year's large-scale exercise.

Not far from the Institute of Physics, at the Institute of Nuclear Research, academicians are studying the interference effect of tractor beams on neutrons... This is the most important research for the rabbit during its "awakening from ignorance".

If we can confine the neutrons in thermonuclear fusion reactions, then China may only be six months away from initially mastering controlled nuclear fusion!

Meanwhile, in another materials research institute, a new type of material slowly condensed under the interference of the traction beam. The academician and his team who were studying materials science couldn't help but shed tears of joy. This was an artificial "gravity well," a condition that no country on Earth could provide!

The academicians submitted their reports to the top leadership in Shangqiu. The titles of the reports were simple: Wang Shu's assistance to various physics research projects.

The next day, the academicians flocked to the top official's home for face-to-face briefings...

On the third day... various research institutes slammed some finished products manufactured in their laboratories onto the desk of their respective leaders. The academicians all looked at the leaders with smiles on their faces, the meaning being clear: There's not enough Wangshu (a type of medicinal herb)!

On the fourth day... the General Staff of Shangqiu began to formulate a military operation against the underground ruins, codenamed "Operation Rat Extermination".

The General Staff began to meticulously plan the entire rat extermination operation and conduct simulations, developing contingency plans for any possible unforeseen events.

Soldiers' actions are not blind; they require meticulous preparation.

Inside the biological research institute, biological dissections of the subterranean rat-men were also conducted to understand their internal structure, physiological weaknesses, and resistance to rat poison...

The entire system is preparing for the upcoming "rat extermination operation".

First, Shangqiu informed Mayor Doyle that these giant rats had frightened him. He never expected such a dangerous species to appear so close to the Kroborsky Autonomous Oblast.

Soon, the Klobel Autonomous Oblast granted official authorization for military operations in Shangqiu, but only around the underground ruins.

For the rabbit, there was no psychological pressure at all. Theoretically, this was not about starting a war, but simply eliminating the four pests. The rat people's behavior was too dangerous and aggressive.

The first thing to do was to conduct a detailed geological survey of the entire underground ruins, using blasting methods to detect the geological structure around the underground ruins and see how the underground ratmen's burrows were distributed... At the same time, a large amount of equipment suitable for underground warfare began to be stockpiled around the underground ruins via airships, transport planes and other means.

After a week of geological research, the rabbit quickly figured out the detailed geological structure around the underground ruins.

"No wonder these ratmen haven't escaped for so long... This is a huge rat cage."

Looking at the underground ruins, which are completely encased in a granite layer tens of meters thick, except for a few naturally formed cracks in the granite, it's clear that even if these rats worked themselves to death, they couldn't possibly break through the granite layer... However, it's also evident that the location of the underground ruins was chosen after geological surveying.

"However, it must be said that these rat-men are indeed mutated rats; their drug resistance is so strong..."

The commander in charge of the operation clicked his tongue. Some animals are just that amazing; their resistance to chemical agents far surpasses that of humans. Furthermore, several underground water tributaries exist beneath the ruins, some even flowing through the city of Krobel...

After careful consideration, the General Staff ultimately abandoned the idea of ​​using chemical agents to exterminate the ratmen.

In theory, thermobaric weapons are the best way to kill people in sealed places like underground ruins, but they could also damage some artifacts from ancient civilizations.

As for the idea of ​​depriving the creatures of air and causing them to suffocate, the General Staff had considered it, but the ratmen were probably hiding deep enough, and there were multiple ventilation ducts in the underground ruins, some of which were even operating independently, so the effect wouldn't be very good.

Finally, after discussions among the staff and experts, the plan for this rat extermination operation was finalized. Considering that the rat people might possess highly aggressive artifacts from an ancient civilization, the "rat extermination operation" was to be a clearing operation primarily using drones.

A large number of drones were deployed underground to attack the ratmen, with a small number of elite sergeants in charge of controlling the drones. The conservative casualty rate was two percent.

After all, there are always deaths in war!

Chapter 302 The Ratman's Fate...

The winch at the entrance to the underground ruins continuously sends the quadruped mechs underground.

Inside the underground ruins, more than a dozen large wireless charging stations were set up to charge the drones via wireless power transmission. As the drone corps advanced, the charging stations gradually moved toward the front lines of the battlefield.

The drones used in the rat extermination operation were incredibly diverse, ranging from large quadrupedal mechs that were equivalent to small armored vehicles to small reconnaissance drones that were only the size of a fingertip.

However, its most distinctive feature is that most of them use cluster laser weapons, which are suitable for protracted warfare because they can fire endlessly as long as they are powered.

There are also various inhumane but very rat-like weapons, such as short-range microwave weapons and infrasound weapons...

The General Staff planned to use two months to completely eradicate the underground rat-men in this rat extermination operation.

One hundred personnel participated in the underground combat operation, and the rest were all technical personnel on the ground. As for the drones... as humanity's best friends, they are not considered human, so even if they are lost, they are just lost.

Numerous fiber optic cables and superconducting wires cascade down, forming a small control network transmitter within the landing site.

Commanding so many drones simultaneously on the ground is a first for China. This rat extermination operation is not just about eliminating pests; it has important reference value for future unmanned warfare.

Supercomputers, high-speed communication technologies, new AI algorithms, novel human-computer interactions... To prevent artificial intelligence from becoming artificial stupidity, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Xinghuan Heavy Industry have provided maximum technical support.

The entire system is operating at high efficiency...

More than thirty Mountain Cat assault vehicles equipped with Pulse are equipped with squad automatic weapons and high-powered laser emitters.

More than forty quadrupedal mechs served as fire support points...

There are also more than twenty unarmed but crucial battlefield "nannies"—these mobile wireless charging stations are responsible for powering the surrounding drones, allowing them to continue operating.
