Otherworld Girl Development Guide

"Take a look..."

A special report was placed before the elders. The eldest elder put down the report and said with some emotion, "...These kids are amazing."

[Thermonuclear Turbine Engine Technology Demonstration Unit Test Run a Complete Success!]

“This is five years faster than we planned…” another elder said with some emotion.

"Over the next few years, we will conduct repeated extreme tests on the thermonuclear turbine engine. It's only a matter of time before it's deployed. We should start planning the next step..."

From design to finalization, and then from finalization to deployment, it takes a long time to conduct various tests on the equipment to verify its reliability. Based on past experience, equipment using new technologies has at least a thousand problems, large and small, that need to be solved.

"The next-generation individual soldier system, which was developed not long ago, also needs time to undergo testing in various complex environments..."

"Therefore, we need to pave the way before testing, otherwise, once the thermonuclear turbine engine enters service, we will be hampered by helium fuel. Without a cheap fuel source, thermonuclear turbine engine technology will remain just a technology..."

The benefits of equipping aircraft with thermonuclear turbine engines are enormous. First, aircraft no longer need a place to store fuel, and the structure can be further optimized. This portion of the load can be distributed to armor, weapons, and avionics systems, which can further increase the survivability of fighter jets.

The electrical output provided by the thermonuclear turbine engine is sufficient to support the charged armor, giving the aircraft protection capabilities at least at the level of a light tank. This alone can disable most of the air defense missiles of other countries!

After all, anti-aircraft missiles aren't meant to hit tanks...

Secondly, it reduces logistical pressure. The design maintenance time of thermonuclear turbine engines is at least six months, which is a boon for ground crew. Moreover, its fuel is air, which is readily available. Whether it is a carrier-based aircraft or a land-based fighter jet, the risk of catastrophic explosion after being hit is greatly reduced because there is no fuel tank.

The carrier platform no longer needs to consider fuel issues; the saved fuel storage space can be converted into a hangar to increase the number of carrier aircraft.

Finally, there is the versatility of thermonuclear engines. All fighter jets use the same engine, or are optimized in different ways based on the same engine, which simplifies logistics and reduces engine costs.

Importantly, thermonuclear turbine engines are already standard equipment for sixth-generation aerospace fighters, eliminating the need to struggle with fossil fuels and allowing for a complete leapfrog development. Other countries would not be able to replicate them.

Thermonuclear engines are not something just anyone can handle. Let me see who still uses engines as a selling point.

"Speed ​​up the construction of the kilometer-scale space transfer station, and the mass accelerator..." The Grand Elder finally set the tone: "...seize the most valuable location on the moon before other countries do!"

Space exploration is another form of resource grabbing, and the threshold is extremely high. Whoever arrives at a planet first can be the first to "eat the crab" (take the plunge). The cruelest part is that later entrants can't even get a taste of the soup and can only beg for handouts from other countries.

However... this kind of charity is not cheap; it comes at the cost of humiliation, something the rabbit absolutely will not allow!

After this meeting, which was not really a meeting, ended, Rabbit quickly made minor adjustments to future plans.

The situation on Earth is not tense at present. First of all, China has slowed down the construction speed of the 006 aircraft carrier. After the chief designer of the 006 aircraft carrier mysteriously disappeared for a week, he returned and immediately carried out partial redesign of the aircraft carrier. The original fission reactor was quietly replaced with a small fusion reactor for the sake of conservatism. The aviation fuel hangar was reduced by 80%, and the oil depot is only used to provide fuel for small shipborne drones.

By the time we get to 007 and 008, we probably won't even need oil depots anymore... Transformation takes time, let's wait and see.

The development of China's sixth-generation aerospace fighter has also slowed down... The mysterious H20 has also been quietly undergoing minor adjustments in secret, with the fuel tanks removed and replaced with bomb bays. It is still publicly known as the H20, but with some optimizations.

Meanwhile, a new generation of upgraded Z-20 attack helicopters, featuring thermonuclear engines and comprehensively enhanced armor, with protection comparable to that of heavy tanks, has also been developed. The key phrase is "armed assault"... utilizing its powerful protective capabilities to seize beaches amidst enemy gunfire.

Almost all projects are undergoing adjustments, awaiting the finalization of the thermonuclear turbine engine, codenamed "Zhurong".

......

Something's not right...

Something's very wrong...

Based on their understanding of China, the United States, on the other side of the ocean, always felt that China was hiding something again!

It seemed there was no need for Ai to conduct any investigation; Rabbit quickly announced the next space program.

CASC (Carabinieri Space) will continue to conduct scientific research on the moon for some time to come and establish a permanent research base on the moon.

The Earth's reserves of helium-3 are limited, and purification is extremely complicated. It's not a big problem for scientific research, but it pales in comparison when it comes to large-scale use.

Under these circumstances, it was impossible for the rabbit to continue its desperate struggle on Earth, so it set its sights on the moon, the closest "helium-3 fuel depot" to Earth!

"Wangshu" has been the moon goddess of the Rabbit family since ancient times. The goddess's wealth is terrifying. Her helium-3 reserves are enough to support the development of Jupiter, a giant fuel depot!

The helium-3 contained in the lunar surface soil comes from the impact of solar wind and cosmic ray particles.

Because the Moon lacks an atmosphere, high-speed helium nuclei can directly bombard the lunar soil and accumulate there. Earth's upper atmosphere is also bombarded in this way, but because the atmosphere lacks the enrichment effect of solids, Earth cannot retain helium-3 from space.

One theory suggests that the Moon's helium-3 resources were "captured" and deposited over billions of years. The Sun's nuclear fusion produces large amounts of helium-3, which is ejected from the Sun's surface and dispersed into space as solar wind. Since the Moon's outer space lacks an atmosphere to block it, the helium-3 is blown towards the lunar surface and permeates the lunar rock layers.

This is a perfect collaboration between Xihe and Wangshu!

Almost as soon as China announced its lunar exploration plan, a certain world power couldn't sit still.

As the country that suffered the "least" loss in the meteorite disaster, India immediately announced that it would "build a city on the surface of the moon!"

Other countries around the world have also announced their own lunar exploration plans.

They lack the technological capability to go to the moon, but they certainly have the skills to scam funding under the guise of "exploring the moon," and they're quite adept at it!

Chapter 324 CNSC

In order to prepare for future space development, China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) underwent restructuring and optimization, with a large amount of funds injected into the aerospace sector. This brought tears to the eyes of the long-suffering aerospace workers, who had endured so many years of hardship... and now their suffering had finally come to an end.

Rabbit Aerospace was reorganized into the "People's Aerospace Development and Exploration Committee", abbreviated as "CNSC".

In order to cope with the complex space environment in the future, the CNSC, which had just been initially established and had not yet been fully integrated, immediately sought out DJI, the leading drone manufacturer in China.

"We hope that you will collaborate closely with CNSC, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the University of Science and Technology of China, and other relevant departments to conduct joint research and development..."

DJI was somewhat bewildered by the sudden appearance of CNSC, since CNSC seemed to be involved in space development. What was the purpose of contacting a civilian drone company whose main business was in the Middle East?

The supervisor sitting opposite was about to say something when the person in charge of CNSC interrupted him: "...I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, this is a matter for national coordination."

"I don't know what you mean?"

"We need a space launch drone, a commercial launch drone. Your company has extensive experience in the civilian sector. We can jointly develop it and leverage each other's strengths."

Each profession has its own expertise. CNSC mainly researches and develops high-tech integrated lunar rovers and satellites, which are high-value products. It lacks experience in how to build inexpensive "cabbage" products.

After a long discussion, CNSC discovered that the more we explore the universe, the more we realize the preciousness of human life!

In the cold and unforgiving space, an accident usually means the destruction of the ship and the loss of life, or even a deviation from the orbit that turns the ship into a coffin adrift in space, desperately waiting for death in a small and enclosed environment!

In this situation, the rabbit plans to prioritize human resources, using drones instead of human labor whenever possible. Even if there is an accident and the drone is lost, it will only be a slightly more expensive drone. Moreover, drones do not need to be kept alive, and the freed-up space can be used to increase cargo capacity. They can work 24 hours a day without rest.

Unfortunately, sacrifices are inevitable in space development, and CNSC can only try to minimize the chances.

At CNSC's aerospace design institute, the first 100-meter-class spacecraft is being designed.

This 100-meter-class spaceship is a modified version of the White Bird, but it will not enter Earth. The entire spaceship is designed with speed, space utilization, and endurance in mind.

Its main mission is to conduct space rescue, bringing astronauts lost in space home at speeds far exceeding those of other spacecraft, no matter where they are or what dangers they face!

The main body of the spacecraft is built on the ground and launched into space by rocket for final assembly. Normally, the spacecraft is docked at the kilometer-class space station under construction. After completion, it will conduct space scientific research and space rescue for stranded personnel.

The four main engines use thermonuclear turbine engines with propellant as the working fluid. In addition, for reliability, additional mounting positions for rocket engines have been added, and induction-type force-guided drive devices will also be installed.

The development of the Earth-Moon system is like the lunar spacecraft in the mid-20th century deviating from the moon and getting lost in outer space. The hope of rescue is infinitely close to zero. All CNSC can do is to do everything in its power to snatch people back from the clutches of death.

In the event of a space accident, a rescue spacecraft will arrive at the scene immediately to carry out a space rescue. In this cold space, the life of every rabbit is precious!

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

Inside a special department of CNSC, the bigwigs are having a special meeting.

"Regarding dealing with unknown dangers, we need to discuss here whether to establish a response team..."

The bigwigs present exchanged glances, some of them hesitant.

This special processing department mainly deals with potential "crises" that may arise during space exploration, such as "alien" creatures that parasitize the human body, or highly aggressive extraterrestrial life forms. In the vast universe, it would be too narrow to say that only humans exist.

A crisis won't happen when you're prepared; a rabbit needs to prepare before a crisis even occurs.

"Having no sword in your hand is not the same as having a sword but not using it... This is preparation for dealing with a crisis."

"If we do that, foreign media might use it to attack us..."

The US and its soon-to-be-fallen allies are classic examples of double standards; even the bigwigs present could predict how the US would promote this.

Space does not need force!

This is a trampling of democracy in the production and distribution of seed oil!

Aliens' lives matter too!

......

In the mouths of the US, China's security personnel are violating the space exploration treaty, and their security personnel are the guardian sword protecting "God's children," all based on empty words.

"Let them talk, it's all just sour grapes anyway..." another bigwig said dismissively, now the West can only resort to sour grapes: "...It's time to wake them up from their dreams!"

"We have said before that we are open to the international community. We welcome those who are willing to cooperate in development. It is mutually beneficial for both sides. If you are not willing to come, then that's fine!"

Establishing a security team is essential for space exploration, not only because of external threats, but also because the confined and narrow space poses a great psychological challenge to people. Although everyone who comes to space undergoes psychological training, a person's breakdown can happen in an instant.

If someone on the spaceship goes insane, it endangers the lives of everyone on board, and security personnel are obligated to intervene.

"What is the scale of the organization?"

Too much is a waste of resources, too little is worrying as it might not be enough...

"Considering rotation and rest, we'll form a platoon, with expansion depending on the situation. Recruits will be selected from the military and universities, starting with postgraduate students, and will receive targeted training later..."

Space security guards are not like neighborhood security guards; they need a great deal of theoretical knowledge, as well as psychological training, biological knowledge, space knowledge, and so on.

At the same time, they also need to undergo professional military intensive training. In the future, they may face threats that do not come from their own kind, so the requirements for military literacy and professional knowledge are very high!

After all, we can't just throw ourselves into the sea like in the movies, facing potentially dangerous space creatures... Space security personnel should be humanity's sharpest sword.

Conversely, these soldiers are equipped with the most advanced weaponry. Some weapons and equipment that are not used in other units are given priority to them, along with various enhancement drugs and physical enhancements.

"That's settled then. The first batch of space security personnel will be publicly declared as special scientific researchers."

Chapter 325 Neutron Annihilation

The Suirenshi nuclear fusion power plant in Shangqiu is operating stably, releasing electricity every day to supply the needs of Shangqiu.

Under the constraints of the gravitational field, the deadly neutrons cannot escape the pull of gravity, but... these neutron torrents do not disappear; instead, they are collected and activated by special gravitational field containers.

Fast neutrons are firmly bound in the gravitational field, but how to deal with these fast neutrons has become a difficult problem...

The best way is to use these neutrons to bombard areas with high levels of nuclear radiation, triggering a transmutation reaction, which is the process by which one element is transformed into another element or one nuclide is transformed into another nuclide. This reaction can quickly eliminate nuclear radiation, making it clean and hygienic.

The rabbit once subtly expressed to the Japanese that it possessed this technology and could help deal with a leaking nuclear power plant. After all... the Japanese are so close to the rabbit, and they emit nuclear radiation every day. Even if it can't affect the rabbit, it's still really disgusting.

Upon hearing this, the Japanese were immediately dumbfounded. "Rabbit, are you planning to annihilate me with a neutron bomb...? Do you really think I'm not a P-Snake player?!"

As the rabbits accumulated more and more neutrons, these neutron containers soon found a new purpose in addition to being used for physics experiments.

For example, to make the mice pass away more peacefully.
