Otherworld Girl Development Guide

"Sure enough, mice like to hide good things in their nests..."

The commander narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the weapon in the ratman's hand. This was also why the B-1 was used to launch the final attack. Every sergeant was a treasure, and losing even one would be a painful loss.

Especially in the final attack zone, in order to obtain the artifacts left behind by the ancient civilization to the greatest extent possible, and since heavy weapons cannot be used, using cannon fodder to push forward is just right.

"...Continue the attack, don't worry about the losses."

"Understood... The order has been issued."

Upon receiving the attack order, the Hive Network's control AI continued to mobilize B-1 to launch an attack on the Skaven, seemingly intending to overwhelm them with sheer numbers.

With such exaggerated productivity, even the ratmen's reproduction rate cannot compare to that of the cheap fighting machines rolling off the production line.

The B-1 has made cheapness ingrained in its very being... even a violent impact would render them incapable of fighting, successfully reducing the cost to 1500R.

The Army declined to comment on the performance of the B-1 robot, after all, one cannot expect too much from a 1500R drone. As long as it can reduce troop losses, the Army will not be too concerned about losing any number of B-1s.

However, the loss of a single B-1 robot is meaningless to the swarm... Through continuous learning, the swarm network rapidly analyzes the war situation.

After discovering that B-1 was not suitable for clearing out the Skaven hiding in the palace, the tactics were immediately adjusted, and smaller attack units, teacup drones and suicide robots, were dispatched to launch a final attack on the Skaven.

A massive swarm of unmanned bees swept toward the ratmen’s last stronghold, a “palace” made of piled-up stone buildings.

Around the ratmen's palace, elite soldiers are putting on a final stand.

But no matter how much the ratmen struggle, in the face of emotionless machines, their annihilation is only a matter of time.

Boom!

The palace gates were violently smashed open, and then the B-1 robot marched in with orderly steps into the palace. Any creature that appeared before them and was not recognized by the IFF was eliminated.

"DEA! DEA!"

In the innermost room of the palace, the ratman leader muttered to himself about the cube in his hand while anxiously staring at the machine in front of him.

This is a giant cube with flashing LED strips on it, flashing at the same frequency as the small cube in the ratman's hand.

The rat-man leader, following the "ancestral instructions" of previous leaders, pressed a button on a region of the cube, seemingly trying to activate some device...

The squeaking sounds outside grew closer, and those lumps of iron were approaching the room, causing the rat-man leader to become increasingly anxious.

The switch on the cube was activated, and a scanning line shot out from the cube's surface, scanning the ratman's body from top to bottom.

Immediately afterwards, a double helix structure appeared in the void and merged with another double helix structure...

Suddenly, the green holographic projection turned red, and the activated cube fell silent.

The ratman failed its verification process... The cube is not under its control.

With a loud bang, the door to the room was violently kicked open. The ratman leader turned around and saw his guards lying haphazardly on the ground outside the door.

The metal lump looked at the rat-man leader and slowly raised the "flashlight" in its hand...

Chapter 330 Copy and Paste

Shangqiu.

A classified research institute.

Half a month has passed since the ratmen were eliminated. Apart from the tireless B-1 robots still cleaning up any remaining ratmen, Shangqiu's military forces are gradually withdrawing from the outskirts of Krobel.

This cleanup operation involved a significant investment, but the returns were substantial.

They acquired over a hundred still-functioning ancient artifacts, two hundred damaged artifacts, and most importantly, the cube, the goddess's "treasure"!

Inside the secret research facility, the treasures brought out from the underground ruins were placed next to the treasures previously obtained from the cult.

The cube in the rat-man leader's hand stood quietly on the research table to the side.

An elderly academician, with white hair, stroked the smooth outer shell of the cube like a child who had received his most desired toy.

"Prepare to start..." the academician said in a deep voice.

The researchers around them exchanged glances, ready to activate the treasure.

It can be said that this experiment was somewhat risky, and no one knew whether the two treasures would produce any unexpected reactions.

"Teacher, let me do this..." the researcher said softly, seemingly unwilling to let his teacher conduct such a dangerous experiment.

"Nonsense, do you know more than I do? Keep your little schemes to yourself. I've been to the gates of hell before..."

The academician saw through his intention to bring a doctoral student along, and his beard bristled as he glared at him. An academician who had lived through the war years, would he be afraid of danger?!

"...If my deduction is correct, the 'treasure' should be a complete 'industrial mother machine,' allowing a civilization to quickly recover and rebuild after being destroyed..."

After speaking, the academician picked up a smaller cube and pressed his hand onto its surface.

"...This small cube should be a key..."

With a buzzing sound, the previously silent cube lit up instantly, as if a start button had been pressed.

At the same time, the two "treasures" in the room also reacted, and the LED light strips on their surfaces lit up, and the flashing frequency gradually became synchronized.

Click... The treasure obtained from the underground ratmen slowly opened, revealing a large amount of constantly shuttling light inside. At the same time, another treasure also unfolded, revealing its internal "interface"... The two were connected to each other, the interface fitting perfectly, as if they were originally one.

"I guessed right!" the academician said excitedly, "Indeed, the treasure is an STC module, and each treasure has a different function!"

"The treasure the cult obtained should be the 'printing' module, this treasure is the 'control' module..."

For civilization to continue, it needs enough sparks. In addition to being able to manufacture them, it also needs energy and resources. Most importantly, it needs means of production, which are the foundation for a civilization to quickly recover its vitality!

The elderly academician examined the small cube in his hands, muttering to himself, "...So, that means there should also be a high-power energy module, an AI module, a data module, and other sub-modules..."

After the two treasures merged into one, a scanning line shot out and scanned the academician from top to bottom...

A spiral-shaped DNA projection appeared in the void, followed by the DNA scanned from the academician appearing on the other side. The two sets of DNA slowly overlapped...

“DNA identification!” an assistant exclaimed.

The fact that DNA scanning can be performed using only "scanning lines" without any physical contact is something that modern technology cannot match!

After the two DNAs completely overlapped, the green beam of light turned light green, and a void projection resembling a control panel was projected onto the surface of the treasure.

The elderly academician immediately stepped forward to study the text on the control panel...

"Huh? This is ancient script from the Kingdom of Bel?"

An expert observed for a moment and said that the writing system is continuous, and the influence of the Bel Kingdom's writing system can be seen in these characters.

The experts copied down the text on the control panel and interpreted it... The old academician watched the text expert with eager eyes, like a well-behaved child. He knew very well the difficulty of text translation; sometimes a single word difference could lead to drastically different results.

"Teacher, if this is a control module, how did the teaching group use the printer in the first place?"

The four-armed monster that the printer created left a deep impression on the rabbit.

"It likely used data stored in the printing module. The cult could only control it, but not modify the information. However, things are different now; the control module should have sufficient permissions to modify the printer's data..."

At this point, the academician's eyes lit up as he said:

"...As a creation of an advanced civilization, based on the previous DNA scans, I suspect it is absolutely capable of performing microscopic analysis of objects and then replicating them using a printer!"

As a remnant of an advanced civilization, it would be incredibly tacky to say that a treasure cannot be "copied and pasted." Moreover, judging from the four-armed monster, the treasure must have scanned its original form before and stored the data in a printer. What happened afterward remains unknown.

After repeatedly comparing the text on the control panel, the text experts recorded some of the translatable text. The remaining uncertain issues still needed further consideration.

"Let me see... this is the data selection..."

The old academician held the translated "dictionary" and pointed at the "data" projected in the void... Instantly, the void projection changed, and a lifelike four-armed monster was projected, with a series of data next to the monster.

"I guessed right!"

The old academician smiled happily, then began checking the data stored in the printer, only to find "four-armed monster"...

"Quick! Let's try copying and pasting..."

After speaking, the researcher placed an iron block in front of the Arcana. A small cube emitted scanning lines to analyze the iron block, and the data was transmitted to the Arcana in an unknown way...

As the supply of iron ore increased, another iron block was etched out from the void...

"As expected! But that's all it is..."

The old academician was both excited and helpless... Copying and pasting seems incredible, provided you can actually build it!

One begets two, two begets three, three begets all things... You need to have that one.

However, research on the "two-in-one" treasure is currently limited to this. Before the ancient civilization's text has been fully translated, any operation involving the "treasure" must be approached with caution.

Chapter 331 High-Yielding Competition Sows

Two days later, the latest report on the "treasure" was delivered to the desks of the Shangqiu leadership.

The report points out that as the ancient civilization's writing system is continuously deciphered, it is confirmed that the treasure is like an industrial hen that can lay golden eggs.

However, there is a limitation to Arcana items: they cannot be copied; they can only be used to print objects with a lower level of technology.

Regarding this, the academicians hold two views. One is that the treasure lacks the "permission" to self-replicate, perhaps this permission exists in a sub-module; the other is that perhaps ancient civilizations feared the treasure falling into the hands of enemies, and therefore it was unable to self-replicate...

However, regardless of which possibility is more likely, the treasure still has significant limitations, such as the inability to replicate very large objects. The academicians explained this by citing energy as the reason.

The Arcana's energy device doesn't allow it to print large objects unless it can find the Arcana that controls the "energy"... This gives the academicians the feeling of collecting "Dragon Balls".

Where to find the remaining treasure components... What Shangqiu needs to do now is to hold a meeting with Queen Estelle of the Bel Kingdom. The script evolved from the ancient script of the Bel Kingdom, so it must have a close relationship with the Bel Kingdom.

What the royal family has revealed so far may only be the tip of the iceberg; much more has not been shown. This is understandable, as even a rabbit wouldn't reveal its entire wealth to others.

"It seems...we need to have in-depth exchanges with the royal family of the Kingdom of Bel and pay a visit to Queen Estée."

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

"This thing... is it a creation of an ancient civilization? I've heard of it before..."

Zhou Mingrui stood outside the tempered glass, staring at the "treasure" inside. Researchers were exploring how to use the treasure, which was a completely foolproof "copy and paste" method. However, copying and pasting also required some skill... for example, copying things that were difficult to produce.

In front of the treasure is a thermonuclear turbine engine, RH0001, codenamed "Zhu Rong". The next step is to replicate this prototype and then conduct comprehensive testing.

Compared to ordinary engines, thermonuclear turbine engines are more difficult to produce, and accidents during the debugging process can easily lead to the failure of the reaction chamber. The ability to copy and paste makes things much simpler, reducing the time to finalization from 10 years to years.

Once the engine design is finalized, the rest becomes much simpler. The engine is the core of an aircraft, just like a warship with an engine mounted on it. The engine is the main component of flight, and the more powerful the engine, the more powerful the fighter jet.

"Old Zhou, if we could replicate the thermonuclear turbine engine, maybe we could make it to this year's airshow!"

Lingdang excitedly said from the side that the thermonuclear turbine engine was developed by her and Tio, and if conditions allowed, she would certainly like to show it off, just like showing off the talent of her "child".

Thermonuclear turbine engine, China has developed it! As for what it will be used on, you can guess, America!
