Otherworld Girl Development Guide

......

After meticulously recording the condition inside the thoracic cavity, the surgeon continued cutting downwards, opening up the abdominal cavity to observe the distribution of the internal organs.

After a detailed examination of the chest and abdominal cavities, the surgeon turned his attention to the ratman's head, where they would now examine its brain.

After cutting open the scalp, a gray skull was revealed.

"Chainsaw..."

The assistant handed the chainsaw to the chief scalpel, who then began cutting into the ratman's skull. The chainsaw's sharp alloy blade rubbed against the ratman's gray bones as it spun at high speed, producing a sound that was unbearable for ordinary people.

The chainsaw slowly sliced ​​open the giant rat's skull. After putting the chainsaw down, the master saw looked at his assistants and signaled them to be prepared to handle any unexpected situations.

After preparing themselves mentally, the researchers lifted the ratman's skull, revealing his somewhat shriveled brain.

"The record shows that the brain is relatively small..."

Although they already knew that the rat-man's brain was far less developed than that of a human, the researchers breathed a sigh of relief when they actually saw the brain, which was not very large.

The ratmen are "manufactured" beings, and intelligence determines their potential. It seems that their potential is not very high now, but it is unclear what it will be in the long run.

After a detailed examination of the rat-man's brain, the rat-man was finally freed. The researchers euthanized the rat-man, removed its internal organs and soaked them in formalin, and then performed a more detailed dissection of the rat-man's body to search for traces of the red thread... The rat-man's research value is truly immense. Their association with the red thread lasts far longer than that of other animals, perhaps only comparable to the sea monsters of the deep sea.

A few days later, the report on the sliced ​​rat man was placed on the top leader's desk.

[On the high degree of integration between the red line and biological evolution]

The report states that after a long period of symbiosis with the Red Line, the Rat Man has become one with the Red Line!

After conducting nucleic acid tests on the mice, academicians from the Institute of Biology discovered that the RNA in the red lines was distributed in the cytoplasm of the mice...

It is not uncommon for a host and a parasite to merge into one another; such examples exist in the human body. However, it is relatively rare for an external "catalyst" to merge into an organism.

The report ultimately concluded that the red lines are likely some kind of "catalytic enzyme" that accelerates the evolution of species.

After the red thread evolves into the body of a species, it will secrete "catalytic enzymes" according to the needs of the host, thereby enhancing a certain aspect of the species.

This answer was obtained after multiple dissections of the underground rat-men.

Survival is the primary need for living organisms, and the evolutionary trajectory of rodents aligns with this need. Their reproductive organs are highly efficient, making their already prolific reproduction rate even more astonishing...

Their digestive capacity, lung oxygen supply capacity, liver detoxification capacity, and other organs that enhance their survival ability have all been strengthened to varying degrees.

The subterranean ratmen are highly adaptable to their environment, which is a result of the host's needs being specifically amplified!

On the contrary, the intelligence of the rat people was not enhanced, while the intelligence of the cats and dogs that were parasitized by the red thread was enhanced!

As research subjects in the laboratory, they do not face any "material" crisis; on the contrary, enhancing their intelligence can help them survive better.

Only obedient pets are loved by humans!

Finally, based on the readily available parasite, the experts concluded that the red line might be some kind of "adaptive catalytic enzyme" that accelerates the evolution of a certain "domain" according to the host's needs!

Chapter 318 The Power to Safeguard Peace

"Master, this is a report sent from Shangqiu..."

The assistant handed the autopsy report of the rat man to Academician Lu.

After receiving the report, Academician Lu began to read it, occasionally frowning as if he were pondering something. When he saw that the rat-man and the red line were highly integrated, his eyes lit up, and then he sighed.

His application was rejected by his superiors without hesitation. Every academician is a treasure to China, and they cannot be wasted so easily.

"Have the second group started training the little ones' intelligence?"

"Yes, Master. After receiving the report, the people in Group Two began targeted intellectual training for Tom, Jerry, and Spike. They can now do addition and subtraction within 50..."

Academician Lu nodded. Although the red thread could not be directly parasitized in the human body, the next research direction had been found: to find a way to purify this "adaptive catalytic enzyme" from the red thread's body.

In fact, his research has yielded good results. Both 1964 and 1967 were catalytic enzymes secreted by the red line. Academician Lu suspected that this was only a branch of "adaptive catalytic enzymes" and that it was extracted from animals.

The internal environment of the human body differs from that of other animals; perhaps only by parasitizing the human body can the most suitable catalytic enzymes be isolated...

It's important to accelerate the pace of human evolution!

Human beings have limits; this isn't just a joke, but a harsh reality!

If the muscle is pushed beyond its strength, it will rupture...

Exceeding the strength of your bones will cause a fracture...

Internal organs, the immune system, and so on, all have their limits!

These biological limits restrict humanity, but what Academician Lu values ​​most is the source of human wisdom: the brain!

The human brain is the most important organ, but the harsh truth is that the brain also has its limits!

Take advanced mathematics, for example. If you can't solve it, you just can't solve it!

Human civilization is constantly developing, and the types and branches of science are changing rapidly. Some disciplines can only achieve a little success even after a lifetime of research, which is considered a great achievement!

Only the most gifted individuals can drive technological progress, but such individuals are few and far between... Inserting a CPU into the brain is an "external object," while rabbits emphasize strengthening themselves and achieving harmony between humanity and nature.

Human lifespan is limited. Once humans spend a lifetime and still cannot learn a single subject, human technology will stagnate!

Thinking of this, Academician Lu shuddered. At this moment, he saw the scene a thousand years later. Rabbits must not be bound by this invisible shackle!

Perhaps adaptive catalytic enzymes could give the human brain a boost, increasing brain volume and learning ability!

The strength of a civilization is built up by the accumulation of individual people!

If all the rabbits had an IQ of 120 or higher, the eagles would probably suffocate instantly... although they're already quite intelligent now.

The prerequisite for all of this is to isolate this adaptive catalytic enzyme.

Academician Lu's first thought was cloning technology, but this involves some humanities issues.

The possibility that clones might evolve due to adaptive catalytic enzymes would also be a headache.

Ultimately, we still need to consider "human trials," but that path is not yet feasible.

Human parasitism experiments are not permitted until absolute safety to humans is confirmed. Rabbits are not like the US; even Academician Lu wouldn't do something like using students as test subjects for a virus...

Compared to Academician Lu's worries, Rabbit is troubled by something else: whether there are any rat-like species created by "adaptive catalytic enzymes" in the deepest part of the Abyss Sea!

Marine life is incredibly diverse, with some exhibiting remarkable intelligence. Furthermore, red lines have been discovered on the bodies of marine mammals. Based on this comprehensive analysis, it is highly likely that evolved species, or even descendants of another civilization that survived a battle with ancient continental civilizations, exist in the deepest part of the abyss.

"Old Zhou~ Look, it's here!"

Lingdang looked up at the sky through the binoculars, and through the lens of the binoculars, Pengkun-1 slowly flew over Shangqiu.

"It's truly spectacular..." Zhou Mingrui couldn't help but exclaim. In such a short time, rabbits have already entered science fiction movies.

Pengkun-1 flew around Shangqiu at low altitude for a week. As a peace-loving rabbit, it had no intention of showing off its power, and didn't even intend to fly out of the Shangqiu area.

Such a large aerial platform has a significant impact on the situation on the mainland. Sending Pengkun-1 to take a stroll around the Bel Kingdom, the Republic of Calva, and the Rebonian Empire is certainly enjoyable, but it will bring potential diplomatic risks.

The countries on the mainland are very self-aware and well aware of Shangqiu's strength. There is no need for them to act aggressively. Wouldn't it be better to make a little more money?

The official announcement also stated that Pengkun-1 would fly around the edge of Shangqiu City once before heading to the Abyss Sea to carry out an escort mission.

Pengkun-1 glided at a low altitude of 5000 meters outside Shangqiu. The thousand-meter-high aerial platform looked like Mount Tai pressing down on it, and the "81" on its wings was clearly visible, which made the people of Shangqiu feel safe.

Compared to Pengkun-2 on Earth, Pengkun-1 was nearing completion at this time, since the airship's carrying capacity far exceeded that of the transport aircraft on Earth.

On the bridge of the Pengkun-1, Captain Zhang Beihai observed the surrounding airspace through binoculars.

Compared to the Pengkun-2, which needs to operate in complex electromagnetic environments, the Pengkun-1, which is likely to fight against "advanced civilizations," has enhanced survivability.

The second system, which does not yet have a fully equipped "mobile close-in weapon system," was prioritized for installation on the first system, and also served as a weapon test.

Thirty-six spherical self-propelled laser gun turrets are deployed on electromagnetic rails embedded in the upper and lower decks of the ship.

The spherical turrets float silently on the magnetic rails, in standby mode. These turrets are controlled by AI or humans. Upon detecting an incoming threat, the AI ​​will automatically wake up the turrets. These turrets can fire independently or in groups.

The new composite material armor is covered with voltage-type armor, and underneath the voltage-type armor is a 1mm layer of energy-charged armor for vital protection.

Inside the hangar of the Pengkun-1, more than a dozen "Qingluan" unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) had their wings folded, and ground crew were conducting inspections. Meanwhile, more than thirty modified J-15 carrier-based aircraft were also on standby.

The production capacity of Qingluan is still somewhat low. At present, it can only supply Pengkun-1 and Pengkun-2 with all its might, and it has no share in the aircraft carrier.

After circling Shangqiu once, Pengkun-1 adjusted its course and flew towards the Abyss Sea, where it would work with the Xirang Base to monitor the Abyss Sea.

Chapter 319 Flames from Underground (4000)

"Commander, the underground ratmen's lines have collapsed..."

In the continuous quality war, the underground ratmen were drained of their lifeblood by Shangqiu's "quality war" and have completely lost the ability to resist.

However, the remaining ratmen, relying on the underground network tunnels, prevented the B-1 robot from deploying smoothly underground. Other artificial intelligences were also unable to handle combat in the complex environment of the underground network tunnels. This can be considered a limitation of the current "artificial intelligence." In the end, the commander had two choices.

One method involves injecting a mixture of combustible gas and oxygen into underground tunnels, then igniting the gas with an electric spark to kill the rats directly... This is basically the same as rat extermination methods used abroad.

The other option was to send elite combat troops deep underground to launch a final attack on the ratmen.

The commander pondered the pros and cons. The first option, directly overturning the table, might destroy the artifacts left behind by the ancient civilization underground.

The other possibility is that there will be personnel losses...

How resistant are rat people to hypnotic gases?

The adjutant glanced at the report sent back by the biological research institute; on some professional issues, he would still need to consult experts.

"According to the report, the rat people have some resistance to hypnotic gases, but large-scale injections should weaken their resistance..."

"...there are many natural ventilation shafts underground..."

"Then let's inject hypnotic gas first, and then send combat personnel into the underground network of tunnels to clear it."

In war, people always die; as long as their deaths are meaningful, that's all that matters.

The creations of the ancient underground civilization are worth the sergeants' risk.

Soon, the General Staff finalized the operational plan and sent it to the sergeants.

The entire operation plan is divided into two phases:

The first phase involves injecting hypnotic gas to attack the nervous system of the underground ratmen. The second phase involves sending in combat personnel to eliminate all the ratmen they encounter.

However, as they go deeper, the concentration of hypnotic gas may drop sharply in the core area of ​​the underground network, at which point the sergeants will need to launch a strong attack.

Now that the plan has been set, we need to equip ourselves with weapons and equipment according to the environment.
