Otherworld Girl Development Guide

AI uses data to continuously compare and optimize tactics, aiming to eliminate the most ratmen with the least self-inflicted losses.

Drones experience no pain or fear; the loss of an individual drone is meaningless to the whole, and the only loss is resources. With enough resources, drones can be produced like dumplings being dropped into boiling water, which can be considered another form of "human wave tactics".

However, drones are also divided into high-end and low-end combinations, with elite drone units paired with cannon fodder... for example, the B-1 combat robot, the "arch-enemy" of the Skaven.

These fighting machines, with the word "cheap" practically printed on their faces, formed battle lines in large groups and pushed towards the underground ratmen.

The B-1 robot has a very simple structure. Shangqiu doesn't even need to produce it itself. It can simply place orders with other countries on the mainland, and they will quickly produce the parts and send them to Shangqiu for final assembly.

In the assembly line workshop, locals who have received simple training can assemble the bodies of B-1 robots one by one. Then, as if "injecting a soul", the B-1 robots are connected to the wireless network and the "artificial intelligence" combat program is input into the robots.

Next, these B-1 robots will fight on the battlefield according to their programmed settings, and the Hive Network's AI will only need to issue tactical instructions, a simple F2A.

More than 300 B-1 robots, with ten robots forming a combat squad, engaged in battle with the Skaven.

The underground ratmen wield all sorts of weapons, a mix of primitive and advanced, with some even possessing energy weapons created by ancient civilizations.

The two sides were engaged in street fighting in the ruins of the underground ruins, repeatedly vying for control... The underground ratmen seemed to have realized that these "hairy things" had left them no way out.

After remaining silent for three or four days, the ratmen began to plan a counterattack. Regardless of casualties, they successfully pushed the battle line back two hundred meters. The ratmen captured B-1's laser gun on the battlefield, but they could not use it. Without the decoding program, the laser gun was less useful than a stick in the hands of the underground ratmen.

The strategists had anticipated the ratmen's counterattack and had prepared various contingency plans in advance. In case of any unexpected events, they could simply follow the established plans.

In the ground command post, the commander was explaining the key points of combat on an electronic sand table, and some officers who came to learn were taking notes.

If it weren't for the concern that the ratmen might cause trouble, the rabbit would even have planned an "underground rotation war" where officers commanded robots in battle, using the war against the underground ratmen to train the officers' abilities.

Although prolonged rotations are not feasible, the army should still try to delay the fighting as much as possible to hone the command's coordination and integration capabilities. After all, this kind of war without casualties is a rare opportunity.

On the electronic sand table, the ratmen and B-1 combat robots are intertwined. In the complex urban warfare environment, B-1 robots are taken down from time to time. Urban warfare has always been a problem. Even when they are suppressing the ratmen, they are sometimes ambushed by ratmen who are familiar with the terrain.

"The ratmen launched a counterattack from two directions..."

The commander looked at the direction of the ratmen's attack on the sand table and fell into deep thought.

The underground ratmen have virtually no tactics; their only formation is a "pig charge," where the rats huddle together and charge towards B-1, only to be wiped out by laser guns.

"They want to divide and encircle us?" an officer said, frowning.

However, judging from the direction of the ratmen's attack on the sand table, this was an organized counterattack; at least the ratmen's attack was pincer-shaped... Rats are very intelligent, and sometimes they can even show surprising wisdom.

"It's okay...we'll play a tug-of-war with them, draining their blood little by little..."

Compared to the terrifying upright apes, these ratmen were still a bit lacking. The command quickly devised a tactic to use cheap robots like the B-1 to drain the ratmen dry.

With mass production, a single 155mm shell could be exchanged for 20 B-1 robots. For a wealthy and powerful country like China, this is something they can afford!

Furthermore, these robots can be recycled after the battle, recovering some of the costs.

Chapter 316 Treasure

In the ruins of the underground ruins, the remains of the B-1 combat robot and the corpses of the ratmen lay intertwined on the ground.

The stainless steel chassis of the B-1 machine can be said to have taken the cost-effectiveness to the extreme. The CPU and electronic equipment use civilian versions, which are cheap and produced in large quantities, which reduces the cost of each B-1 to as low as 2500R.

The operators in charge of commanding the B-1 combat robot felt like they were playing an RTS game...

Hundreds of B-1 bombers formed a neat formation and advanced towards the ruins. The densely packed robots marched forward with synchronized steps, creating a powerful and awe-inspiring sight. The entire ground seemed to be experiencing an earthquake.

In the sky, a large gyroplane flew over the ruins, and the boxes it carried below opened, releasing teacup-shaped drones that were free-falling downwards... As these teacup drones approached the ground, their propellers began to spin, and they flew into the ruins.

The expensive quadrupedal mechs did not penetrate deep into enemy territory, but instead served as fire support.

Seven or eight underground ratmen hid in a collapsed stone building, holding shields in their left hands and sharp melee weapons in their right... The leader of the ratmen sized up the approaching lump of iron.

"Heavy metal, come closer! Come closer!"

Upon hearing this, the underground rats prepared for battle...

"That iron lump is amazing! Amazing!"

"Closer! DEA! DEA!"

The rats patiently waited for the metal lumps to approach, but just then, a buzzing sound suddenly filled the air...

The rats immediately remembered what the sound meant and quickly hid themselves in a safe corner...

Amidst the buzzing sound, the teacup-shaped drone was the first to be deployed into the ruins.

These drones began to autonomously search for mice and then automatically exterminate them.

The subterranean ratmen are no strangers to the teacup drones, but they still don't have a good way to deal with them. These little things are terrifying, just like the rat-eating monsters in the ratmen legends, devouring one ratman's life after another!

Buzz... The infrared sensors on the teacup drone began searching for suspicious heat sources, and soon fireballs exploded one after another in the ruins, killing some ratmen who hadn't hidden well.

After entering the underground ruins, the B-1 robots, under the control of AI, immediately dispersed into skirmish lines and marched forward in orderly steps.

B-1 was not responsible for the bunkers on both sides of the road, but rather for Spider Mines and Teacup drones, which were responsible for clearing the interior of the buildings, while B-1 was responsible for advancing.

Several ratmen hid on the second floor, their dark, intelligent eyes watching B-1 approach with terror, their grip on their spears tightening slightly.

Behind them, several bespectacled, trendy Storm Ratmen, armed with futuristic firearms left behind by an ancient civilization, prepared to attack B-1.

"A lump of iron! DEA!"

With a roar from the ratman leader, the ratmen wielding shields and spears charged forward, shields held in front of them, towards the B-1 robot.

Almost instantly, the B-1 robot raised its laser gun and fired deadly beams... The charging ratmen were instantly roasted by the lasers, collapsing to the ground in smoke, a stench of roasted protein filling the air...

Humans might be psychologically shocked by the sight before them, but for AI, it has no effect whatsoever. It mechanically advances and fires, fires and advances... until all the detected enemies are roasted by the laser.

The next second, Storm Rat poked its head out and fired its gun at the B-1 combat robot. These ancient weapons released gravitational waves invisible to the naked eye.

Several B-1 bombers were blasted away by gravity, but before the Storm Rats could retreat, drones in the sky dropped small-diameter bombs, killing the Storm Rats.

The remaining ratmen, armed with melee weapons, charged into B-1's formation, smashing several B-1s with their spears before immediately fleeing. However, their reaction was somewhat slow...

AI's reaction speed far surpasses that of humans. The instant the ratmen charged into the B-1 formation, the surrounding gyroplanes almost simultaneously launched blade missiles.

Guided by its warhead, the blade missile struck the fleeing ratman instantly. Six sharp blades ejected from the missile's midsection, spinning wildly and slicing through the ratman's body, turning him into minced meat before he could escape...

The exposed ratmen also became targets of the drones. One by one, the teacup drones approached the ratmen like dandelions, only to be blown to shreds by the steel balls and shrapnel inside.

After the first B-1 attack swarm reached its combat positions, hundreds more B-1 robots unfolded from their folded positions outside the ruins, and wireless charging stations began charging the B-1s...

Once fully charged, B-1 Group 2A entered the ruins... Drone warfare is that simple and unpretentious; F-2A moves on.

After the second attack cluster, there was a third attack cluster... a complete dimensional reduction attack. The B-1 robot, which the underground ratmen had gone to great lengths to "kill," only caused the rabbits to lose a little money.

The battlefield was like a meat grinder, where the ratmen were quickly drained of their blood by the terrifying upright apes, and a large number of their forces were killed.

Half an hour later, the battle in the ruins guarded by the ratmen intensified. The ratmen launched a desperate attack on B-1. Often, when they finally managed to break into B-1's formation, they would be met with concentrated fire from the B-1 robots next to them, completely disregarding the issue of friendly fire and killing "their own people" along with the enemy.

Deep underground, numerous spider mines are hidden in every corner, compressing the living space of the ratmen. These emotionless killing machines injure ratmen one by one, increasing their logistical burden.

"Leader, that hairless guy is amazing! Amazing!"

A ratman with half its ear blown off lay before its underground chieftain, reporting on the battle situation on the surface.

"Keep fighting! YES! YES!"

"Can't stop it! Failure! Failure!"

Upon hearing this, the chieftain of the underground ratmen roared and signaled his men to drag the unsuccessful ratman down to feed the rat giants, for the ratman tribe had no need for failures.

Amidst screams and the sounds of bones cracking, the rat-man leader rose from his throne and walked toward the back of his "bedroom."

There, the underground rat people possess a "treasure".

After entering the secret chamber of the palace, the rat-man chieftain looked at the cube floating in front of him and reached out to touch its smooth surface.

Suddenly, LED light strips lit up on the cube, and then the light strips flashed rhythmically, as if this machine belonging to an ancient civilization was starting up.

Chapter 317 Adaptive Catalytic Enzymes

Shangqiu Institute of Biology.

Behind the tempered glass, personnel in Shangqiu are preparing to conduct an autopsy on a subterranean rat-man.

The underground ruins are remnants of a battle between an ancient civilization and another. Furthermore, the discovery of red thread RNA within the ratmen suggests they are highly integrated with the red thread. Therefore, dissecting the ratmen will help Shangqiu understand what ultimately happens after the red thread parasitizes the organisms...

However, based on the information currently available, the red line has already caused the underground ratmen to evolve at a rate far exceeding the rate of natural evolution. Their bipedal walking ability is proof that the ratmen have reached a very high level of evolution.

On the experimental dissection table, the laboratory staff in white coats looked up at the monitor in the laboratory with their palms facing upwards and nodded.

Inside the monitoring room, security personnel were prepared for the experiment. If any problems arose, they would rush in immediately to eliminate the threat and ensure the safety of the experimenters.

"Let's begin..."

The researchers in charge of the dissection exchanged glances and nodded. After all, this wasn't their first time dissecting a Red Line parasite, and they were quite familiar with the Red Line. At least they wouldn't panic when the Red Line popped out of the body after being cut open.

Click... The laboratory's airtight door seals, the air filtration and circulation system starts, and the fully automatic disinfection device activates.

"Record..."

As the experimenter spoke, the monitoring camera on the head of the fully enclosed suit made of a new material adjusted its focus and focused on the rat-man.

The ratman in front of me is considered a "handsome guy" among the underground ratmen, at least more handsome than its kind. After being captured, it has been fed better, and its fur is much neater and shinier.

As is customary for rabbits, the food in the lab is quite good; at least they don't have to cannibalize their own kind or eat moss...

The rat-man in front of me was strapped to the experimental table. For safety reasons, he had been anesthetized, and his long incisors and fingernails had been removed to minimize the danger.

"Prepare the skin..."

The surgeon spoke softly, and his assistant stepped forward to prepare the ratman's chest, shaving off the fur to expose the skin beneath.

"Scalpel..."

The assistant handed the scalpel to the surgeon, who began to cut into the rat-man's chest cavity. The sharp blade easily sliced ​​through the skin and muscles, exposing the internal organs inside the chest cavity.

The moment the chest cavity was opened, everyone was mentally prepared for the red thread to emerge, but the red thread they had imagined did not appear.

"continue..."

The surgeon carefully cut open and enlarged the rat-man's chest cavity, revealing the colorful organs inside. Compared to X-rays, MRI, and CT scans, dissection was a more direct and visual method.

The optical sensors on the main blade head adjust the focus, recording every internal detail.

The beating heart pumps blood to every part of the body.

"The record shows that the heart accounts for a relatively large proportion of its volume..."

"Changes have been observed in the liver and lungs, and their function is currently unknown..."
