Otherworld Girl Development Guide

The battle that follows will not be as simple as it was before. The escaped ratmen will take the information back to the other ratmen so they can prepare for battle, which means a strong attack will be needed next.

The sergeants replenished their empty-firing tubes, with almost everyone carrying two tubes on their backs. If it weren't for the weight issue, they would have even carried more.

There's nothing a rocket can't solve; if there is... then use two!

Five minutes later, the team responsible for clearing out the underground ratmen continued on their way, with even more rats to be sent to the next cycle of reincarnation.

In the ground command center, the commander in charge of overall coordination watched the sergeant majors' positions without saying a word; the real frontline command had been delegated to the sergeant majors.

In the 3D projection of the electronic sand table, the sergeants formed a loose formation, with two sergeants holding shields in front and another holding a shotgun behind.

On the three-dimensional projection, there is a decreasing countdown, representing the AI's estimated cleanup time.

On the other side, some staff officers were reviewing previous combat records, watching intently as the sergeants efficiently exterminated the rats, marking out areas that required attention.

At this moment, some staff officers felt that the sergeants' firepower was seriously insufficient. If they could carry more firepower, it would be better. If the first round of attacks could cover all directions with firepower, so many ratmen would not have escaped to the depths of the underground, causing considerable trouble for the subsequent cleanup.

This kind of battle is a slow and painstaking process. Unless you directly overturn the table, you can only clear it little by little. Even for the collapsed caverns, the commander is very suspicious that the ratmen might dig the passages again. After all, rats are experts at digging holes.

Shangqiu Xinghuan Research Institute.

Zhou Mingrui glanced at the new universal combat suit behind the resin glass and couldn't help but curl the corner of his mouth.

"I said, who designed this thing?"

Goodness, this rabbit has completely let loose and taken the "borrowing" approach to the extreme.

If Zhou Mingrui hadn't known that the things inside were made by rabbits, he would have thought he had stumbled into Crysis.

It's almost exactly the same as the nano-bio-armor... the only difference is that the epaulettes have a rabbit symbol printed on them.

"Boss... how's it going? The prototype nano-biochemical armor combat suit." Dou Zong, who had gained some weight, explained from the side.

"How many modes does this thing have?" Zhou Mingrui asked curiously.

“Just two, strength and armor…” Dou Zong said from the side.

Zhou Mingrui nodded. Two modes are enough. After all, this "version ? bio-armor" is different from the original and is intended for mass production in the future. Too much complexity would be too costly.

"This can be considered the first generation of powered armor. The power comes from electromagnetic muscle bundles made of superconducting materials. When stimulated by electric current, it can provide soldiers with additional strength. The armor mode uses a weakened charging mode."

Unlike the exoskeleton armor worn by sergeants, this thing can be considered powered armor. It is powered by a superconducting battery located on the spine of the combat suit and can also be transformed into a humanoid tank by attaching "bulletproof plates".

"Come on, boss, let me show you my special skill..."

In the test field not far from the research institute, three sergeants who were assisting in the research and development were wearing "nano-biochemical armor," with clearly visible electromagnetic muscles. They were holding electromagnetic rifles and simulating urban warfare.

In Power Mode, the electromagnetic muscle bundles, under the control of magnetic force, simulate human muscle function, but with explosive power far exceeding human levels. Like a nimble cat, it leaps into the third-floor window using both hands and feet.

"How about that, impressive, right...? The new generation of human-computer interaction has a latency of 10-20 milliseconds. With the assistance of electromagnetic muscles, soldiers conserve more energy and have a higher survival rate."

10-20 milliseconds... While this latency isn't as extreme as neural connections, it's still within acceptable limits. You can refer to the latency in online games; even if you encounter enemies with quick reactions, your combat suit can withstand their bullets.

Zhou Mingrui imagined what it would be like for the enemy to encounter organized "super soldiers" in a street battle. Indoor CQB would be a massacre, and he couldn't help but silently mourn for the enemy for a second.

Chapter 321 Coronavirus

"However, why does this thing use the shape of a nano-biochemical armor?"

Looking at the cool sensors on the sergeants' masks, Zhou Mingrui had to admit that the sense of oppression was intense.

"There were existing references; the designer just used them as a reference..."

The rabbits have always been good at learning from the advanced, and now, as they've been learning, they're becoming more and more like the eagles. If Zhou Mingrui didn't know that the rabbit was inside, he would have thought he had wandered into Area 51 of the United States.

"How much does this cost?"

"Not much, just over 1.3 million."

Zhou Mingrui nodded, not surprised by the price. After all, it was an upgraded version of the exoskeleton armor, with the new technology being the addition of an energy core device.

This combat suit is not like the nanite bio-armor of the US military; it's versatile in all areas, including speed, strength, armor, and stealth.

Just like when rabbits make bulletproof vests, the only requirement is bulletproof protection. No matter how expensive it is, it won't make you kneel down. At most, it adds some extra functions.

"If it could be mass-produced, I estimate the cost could be reduced to 999,800..." Dou Zong thought for a moment and said with a wicked sense of humor.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mingrui rolled his eyes. If it really were 998, the army's big brother would probably be overjoyed.

Is this thing going to be shown at an airshow?

"Of course!"

It's okay to make an appearance, but what's hanging there is a high-quality replica, and it's in an inconspicuous corner.

The rabbit's meaning is simple: "Look, Eagle, I've come up with a new toy, this time a touch-and-play game~ You say it looks similar, and the functions are almost the same, right?"

Eagle: I'm not watching!

Rabbit: You really aren't going to watch?

Eagle: I'm not watching, get out!

This time, the US has been completely outmaneuvered... Zhou Mingrui looked at the research and development plan and couldn't help but curl his lip.

Next, based on the powered suit, we will continue to develop more advanced combat suits. For example, after wearing the powered suit, we can wear an additional layer of external armor, and then enter a personal vehicle...

The enemy finally managed to destroy the vehicle, and then a "Rabbit Captain" jumped out of it and wiped out the enemy... What kind of nesting dolls are these?

"Is the battery charged enough?"

Watching the sergeant blast the human target to pieces with an electromagnetic pulse rifle, Zhou Mingrui asked with some concern, "Now, everything from individual soldier equipment to large vehicles in the Rabbit region is starting to use electricity, especially voltage-type armor and energy-charged armor, which are almost all power-hungry."

"We provide the battery with heat exchange charging energy, which means that when the cooks are cooking, they can just throw it in to bake and it will charge, which is very convenient."

Zhou Mingrui nodded. After all, one can't ask for too much; one can't expect superconducting batteries to be used as bombs.

Spears and shields have always progressed in a spiral fashion; if a rabbit's individual equipment is upgraded, then its weapons will also be upgraded in the same way.

Zhou Mingrui picked up the electromagnetic assault rifle on the table. It felt very light. Except for the barrel, which was made of metal, the rest of the parts were made of composite materials.

The electromagnetic rail is 380mm long and can adjust the magnetic field to provide the bullet with the kinetic energy from the 12.7mm muzzle of the Barrett to that of the police pistol, greatly reducing the chance of accidental injury.

The gun's center of gravity is centered on the barrel, with batteries located on both sides of the stock. To increase sustained combat capability, a "dual-channel" mode is adopted, meaning that two batteries take turns powering the electromagnetic gun. This prevents the gun from running out of power after firing a few shots (when reloading), allowing enemies to rush in while the batteries are being changed.

Zhou Mingrui put down the electromagnetic gun and picked up the magazine to examine it.

“5.8mm?” Zhou Mingrui asked.

“Yes, considering the existing production lines, some compromises were made…” Dou Zong explained from the side.

The production line for bullets is already there; you can't just redesign the production line... Redesigning the production line isn't like inviting someone to dinner; the entire supporting mechanical processing system has to be redesigned.

One move can affect the whole situation. Besides, most of the current individual weapons still use 5.8mm bullets. When electromagnetic rifles are deployed on a large scale, as long as the existing production lines are upgraded, electromagnetic gun bullets can be produced, which is practical.

After all, there will be more and more new things in the future. We can't just add a new production line every time we produce a new piece of equipment. If we end up with all sorts of weapons, the logistics department will probably start killing us. China is not some world superpower.

Good heavens... Zhou Mingrui glanced at the magazine and exclaimed, "Good heavens!"

Because magnetic bullets do not require propellant, the bullets can be made smaller. A regular 30-round magazine can be specially designed to hold 60 bullets directly without burning the barrel or chamber, and there is no friction. The barrel life is far longer than that of a gunpowder gun.

"This is nothing, boss... When you have time, go check out the place next door. They have an electromagnetic Gatling gun that shoots blue flames, and its rate of fire is even faster than the 1130!"

The rabbit's weapons and equipment have begun to be upgraded gradually; it's just a matter of who knows what other outrageous things they'll pull out in the future.

However, Zhou Mingrui could foresee that the technology would develop in the direction of electromagnetic weapons.

China has mastered controlled nuclear fusion and is constantly developing new types of superconducting batteries. It's not impossible that fully electromagnetic weapons will be available in the future.

Traditional live-fire weapons are far too wasteful of materials. Take gunpowder gun cartridges and propellants, for example; they are both complex subjects that require continuous modification.

Once propellants are abandoned, or only a few indirect fire weapons are retained, research can shift to a few specializations, reducing the investment of human and material resources and allowing talent to be used in more practical directions.

However, the demand for electricity will likely increase in the future, which will truly test the battery's endurance.

However, when the topic of batteries came up, Zhou Mingrui seemed to remember something and turned to ask:

"I heard that our domestically produced mobile phones are going to use superconducting batteries?"

"Yes, we've partnered with Huawei and DJI to put the weakened superconducting batteries into civilian applications, hoping to recoup our R&D costs and move on to developing the next generation of batteries. We can't just spend the boss's money without making him any profit..."

"Uh..."

Zhou Mingrui touched his nose. All he wanted to say was: I'm not interested in money...

However, this is also good news, as it represents a positive cycle of military-to-civilian conversion. Moreover, even the most advanced superconducting batteries completely outperform current lithium batteries.

If Huawei phones had ten times the standby time, would anyone still buy one that had been chewed in?

Most importantly, on the entire planet, only the rabbits have room-temperature superconductor ore—something others can't learn even if they want to. If you're so capable, try synthesizing it artificially in a laboratory!

Chapter 322 Test Drive! (4000)

It was just another ordinary day in the solar system.

As it has for thousands of years, the sun continues to shine its light on the third planet, bringing it illumination.

At this moment, on the other side of the ocean, in a country shrouded in the darkness of capitalists, a relatively peaceful daytime is dawning.

In the streets and alleys, the seemingly ordinary daily shopping of zero-dollar purchases begins. They are scattered throughout the shops, choosing their favorite items... Some succeed, while others are unlucky and get eliminated by shop owners protecting their property.

The front-page headline reports celebrated the widespread availability of safe injection centers in the United States.

Today marks the opening of the 365th safe injection center in the entire United States! We have successfully saved tens of thousands of patients; this is a victory for democracy and freedom!

People no longer need to worry about death from overdoses; with professional injections, they have received God's blessing!

......

More than these headlines, the US is surprised by something else: they've discovered a rare substance in the high-end cables sold by the rabbits.

"My King, today is the brightest day in our beacon nation's history. I believe we have the key to nuclear fusion!"

"This is what the US military researchers studying nuclear fusion said excitedly."

"Oh? Sir, this is the best news I've heard recently. Please tell me, what is our key?!" Trump put down the Coke in his hand and asked excitedly.

Recently, China has been on some kind of rampant technological advancement, which has put immense pressure on the United States. After all, if the United States' technology and military strength are suppressed, it will be getting closer and closer to "THE LAST OF US".

Recently, experts around the world have been discussing the "collapse of the US," "when will the US collapse," and "will the US repeat the Civil War of centuries past"...

"It's a superconducting material, a very rare room-temperature superconductor!"
