Otherworld Girl Development Guide

"Which fighter jet do you plan to put Zhu Rong on?"

"It should be the Bluebird. As a tactical reconnaissance aircraft, if it were to be powered by a nuclear engine, it could become a strategic reconnaissance aircraft... and the kind with energy-charging armor."

"However, if the thermonuclear turbine engine can be finalized ahead of schedule, the current main fighter jets will probably have to be discontinued. According to our tradition, the airframe structure should be optimized, the fuel tank should be removed, and a letter should be added to the end."

Tio, speaking in a monotone tone, said, "If the J-20 is equipped with a thermonuclear turbine engine, the J-20 will become the J-20A... On paper, it may seem like an improved version, but in fact, it's not the same thing at all!"

The academician skillfully manipulated the small cube, the scanning lines aimed at the thermonuclear turbine engine to perform a microscopic scan...

The feed inlet on the side feeds the corresponding raw materials into the printer. After consuming the raw materials, the void printing begins, and another thermonuclear turbine slowly appears... The working principle of the treasure is still within the academicians' understanding. If the treasure can create things out of thin air immediately after scanning, the rabbit will probably have to consider leaving Mingrui Star immediately.

Creating something out of thin air without using any material is too frightening; rabbits are timid and can't handle being scared.

"This must be the technological singularity."

Zhou Mingrui looked at the slowly printed RH0001 and said with some emotion.

"Hmm... I heard they only gave us a quota of thirty units, and for the rest we just need to print 'Nine Stamps.' The teacher said we need to make at least one hundred copies, and then there's the laser confinement fusion reactor..."

Once the Nine Chapters is replicated as a quantum computer, it can be used for research in various fields with its powerful computing capabilities. For example, Nine Chapters III can be used to build Nine Chapters V, and then Nine Chapters V can be replicated to study Nine Chapters VI, and so on, until the limit of the "treasure". What truly tests researchers is the architecture of the quantum computer.

Now... Rabbit not only has Sharingan, but also the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan! Not only can I copy others, I can even copy myself!

"Unfortunately, we can't print organisms..."

"If they could print organic matter, that would be terrifying," Zhou Mingrui said softly. Although the previous four-armed monster looked frightening, it was essentially an inorganic robot.

As the words were spoken, the RH0001 copy was printed out, and the staff pushed the printed RH0001 out, immediately moving on to printing the next thermonuclear turbine engine...

Zhou Mingrui glanced at the time. It took twenty minutes to print the thermonuclear turbine engine. This production efficiency was terrifying. Normally, it would take more than a month to produce a thermonuclear engine, and it would also require a long period of debugging. Now the time had been compressed to 20 minutes... The productivity of advanced civilizations is terrifying!

With such productivity, one would imagine that the material life of a higher civilization would be very rich, and that every member would be freed from physical labor and pursue the meaning of life.

The printed thermonuclear engines were returned to the factory, where workers engraved serial numbers on them to identify each engine.

After the crane loaded the thermonuclear engine into its crate and placed it on a flatbed truck, the second thermonuclear turbine engine was pushed out as soon as the first engine was secured...

The bigwigs from the Navy and Air Force standing nearby nearly grinned from ear to ear. They had initially thought the allocation of thermonuclear engines would be a point of contention at the dinner table... but now, wow, they were producing them like a sow.

The only limitation on thermonuclear engines is the fuel—Helium-3!

Chapter 332 Heavy Fighter

Ten thermonuclear turbine engines were printed in 200 minutes; the remaining quota will be printed next time...

The flatbed truck, pulling the thermonuclear turbine engine, headed towards the research institute, completing half a year's or even a year's worth of work in just three hours... It has to be said that with each leap forward in civilization, productivity has undergone earth-shattering changes, even increasing exponentially.

After the ten thermonuclear turbine engines were delivered to the research institute, the institute immediately conducted test runs on them...

Secure the engine, inject expensive helium-3, and then ignite it...

Amidst the distinctive whistling sound of the thermonuclear turbine engine, a thermonuclear fusion reaction occurred within the reactor chamber. High-temperature plasma mixed with air was ejected, generating thrust almost identical to the prototype—50 tons...

Over the next half day, the remaining nine engines were tested, and the data showed almost identical results. This was nothing short of a "miracle," because nothing produced by humans is exactly the same. Engines of the same model may have different problems due to tolerances and manufacturing errors. And the Void Printing of the Treasure is simply a microscopic copy.

Soon, the data from the ten engines was collected. Zhou Mingrui sat in his office, where he rarely sat for more than eight hours a month, listening to Dou Zong's report.

Bell and Tio frowned as they looked at the data of the thermonuclear turbine engine, searching for potential problems.

"Boss, the ten thermonuclear engines that were printed out, after testing the thermonuclear turbine engines, showed that the data was exactly the same. Fortunately, we have tuned the Zhurong prototype to its optimal state."

"My goodness, is this a complete copy?" Zhou Mingrui clicked his tongue. "This is too exaggerated. Doesn't it mean that if we have one, we have ∞?"

“Old Zhou, don’t be so optimistic…” Bell interrupted Zhou Mingrui’s fantasy, saying, “…Treasures can only be manufactured; the design still depends on us.”

"Even so, it's still cheating."

Ten engines can be used to directly test twin-engine and single-engine fighter jets, and to conduct various extreme tests on thermonuclear turbine engines, greatly accelerating the process of finalizing the design.

"Old Zhou~ I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear?" Lingdang blinked her amber eyes and asked playfully, squinting her left eye.

"Let's hear the bad news first..."

"If one engine has a problem in a certain part, then other engines will also have problems in the same part, and it will also have a certain impact on optimization and improvement..."

"So, what's the good news?"

"The good news is that the most crucial part of the Zhurong reactor is the reaction chamber. The internal mirror magnetic field is extremely difficult to manufacture. We can directly print the core part, and we'll manufacture the remaining components ourselves. This will take about five minutes to print, meaning our engines will have to wait for airplanes in the future!"

Compared to printing the entire engine, replicating the key components is more cost-effective. After all, this is a rare treasure, and China has so many projects waiting to be completed. It's impossible to spend all our time printing thermonuclear turbine engines; not a single minute can be wasted.

"So now that we have the engine, when will it be attached to the machine?"

"Boss, you don't need to worry about that. There are people even more anxious than us..."

Dou Zong wasn't worried about this issue at all. The Air Force and Navy were even more anxious than they were, and they directly brought in the chief designer and deputy chief designer.

"A nuclear-powered engine... I never thought I'd see it in my lifetime..." the deputy chief engineer said with some emotion.

In the workshop of the research institute, Versailles-style expert looked at 10 thermonuclear turbine engines, constantly thinking about how to adjust the aircraft after removing the fuel tanks... This involved his knowledge "blind spot," and the absence of complex fuel supply lines made him feel a little uncomfortable.

However, if Princess 10 were to be equipped with a thermonuclear turbine engine, her combat power would definitely increase significantly, making Princess 20 a true "galactic battleship".

“Sigh, designing airplanes is too difficult. The airplanes we just developed are about to be obsolete! How about we reposition the ‘heavy’ fighter jet…” Boss Yang said to the deputy chief designer, “...Anyway, we don’t need fuel supply lines and fuel tanks. We can make some improvements based on the Qingluan.”

As the deputy chief designer who had worked with Mr. Yang for many years, he seemed to understand what the chief designer meant: "200 tons of thrust?"

"Yes, a heavy fighter jet with four multi-role engines, four thermonuclear turbine engines, and a thrust of 200 tons."

If light fighter jets are single-engine, then medium fighter jets are twin-engine, and China's heavy fighter jets will be four-engine to carry more missiles!

If the US fighter jets launch two air-to-air missiles in the first round of attack, then China would have to launch four PL-15 missiles. If a fighter jet doesn't carry at least a hundred or so missiles, it wouldn't be worthy of being called a fighter jet.

As he spoke, Boss Yang had already devised the aircraft's layout. Besides the two thermonuclear turbine engines at the rear of the fuselage, two more could be mounted on the wings. Installing engines on the forward-swept wings would allow the aircraft's center of gravity to be closer to the center of the fuselage...

The forward-swept wings have bomb bays mounted on the top and bottom of the engines to increase the aircraft's payload. The four engines have a total thrust of 200 tons, and the aircraft weighs about 20 tons... This requires even stronger materials, otherwise the aircraft itself would not be able to withstand such thrust.

The advantages are obvious: 200 tons of thrust allows for the loading of missiles onto the aircraft, with conformal weapons bays holding nearly a hundred missiles of various types...

The addition of two thermonuclear turbine engines to the wings means the aircraft can perform more complex aerial maneuvers and has greater survivability. As long as one of the four engines is operational, it can land on the runway.

With four engines, the airframe has more energy and stronger electronic warfare capabilities. The freed-up space can be used to install an integrated electronic warfare pod. Voltage-type armor is added to the surface of the airframe's integrated skin, which can use the engine's ample power to vaporize anti-aircraft missile shrapnel and linkages. After all, apart from China, no one else has that much tungsten.

The voltage-type armor on the surface of the aircraft can also act as a plasma generator, absorbing radar waves and achieving stealth at the radar level.

"Humans can't control this kind of machine..." the deputy chief engineer said from the side.

The Chongming tactical reconnaissance aircraft was already the limit of what humans could control. If it were replaced with a four-engine heavy fighter with 200 tons of thrust... would it be a pilot killer?

“How about we try Deep Sea Fluid?” Boss Yang said while stroking the engine’s casing. “Look, we’ve removed the fuel tank, so we can try filling the remaining space with ‘Deep Sea Fluid’ to put the pilot into ‘Deep Sea’ mode to counteract G-forces. I remember that the Xirang Base seems to have made some promising research results.”

To pilot the monster mech with four heat core engines, the pilot must undergo a certain degree of human enhancement.

Chapter 333 New Type of Omnidirectional Air Combat Missile

Rabbit Northern Weapons Research Institute in Shangqiu.

The institute director stepped forward and shook hands with the man carrying the briefcase, saying somewhat apologetically, "Hello comrade, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting..."

"It's alright... I brought what you wanted."

The man shook the metal box in his hand, and the director's face immediately lit up with a smile. They had been waiting for this for far too long, and now they had finally gotten it.

"Follow me..."

After passing through security, the two entered the research institute and soon met the chief designer of the PL series air-to-air missiles.

"Academician, I've brought what you requested!"

After the man placed the box on the table, he entered the password and fingerprint. The metal box slowly opened, revealing seven or eight fist-sized "inductive gravity field drive devices"...a mini version.

Take out a cylindrical drive device that is 15 cm long and 12 cm in diameter and start it. The device immediately floats on the table, and gravity has no effect on the drive device.

"Regarding our latest advancements in gravity technology, we used that to replicate several samples..."

When that was mentioned, the man clicked his tongue. The production line of "Zhibao" is almost booked until the year after next. People can rest, but Zhibao has no holidays. Every minute and second of Zhibao is squeezed out.

A large group of academicians tried every means to "jump the queue," because verifying their research earlier meant that their direction was correct and they could continue their research.

The worst thing about research is going astray!

The department that manages Zhibao receives several cases of Moutai every day... The department head doesn't dare to go out, because he'll be dragged out for drinking contests.

If we win, that's fine, but if we lose, who's going to cut in line?

Computer scientists say that computational power is the only way for humans to understand the truth; mathematics does not lie!

Materials scientists say that new materials are the cornerstone of human progress. If your materials science isn't up to par, how can you expect to make progress?

......

PL's chief engineer reached out and picked up the miniature inductive force field drive device, feeling absolutely no weight.

A few days ago, Yang met with the chief designer of PL. The two discussed the matter and the gist of it was that since they were going to develop a four-engine heavy fighter, they should also upgrade the missiles. Although the PL-15 was very useful, now that they had a preliminary understanding of gravity technology, they wondered if they could apply it to the missiles.

A heavy fighter jet can carry less than 100 missiles in a single salvo? That really makes me feel insecure!

He's also trying to find a way to improve the engines on the wings, to see if the thermonuclear turbine engines on the wings can be compressed, which would allow for a 2 main/2 auxiliary engine layout, and the weight of the fuselage would be better coordinated.

The thrust will definitely decrease, but a decrease in thrust is a good thing, at least it will reduce the demands on people.

The overall length of the aircraft is kept within 20 meters, so that the fuselage is about the same length as the J-20, and there is no need to design a special "chicken coop" for it. The fuselage will also be equipped with a gravity drive device. Like the Bluebird/Azure Phoenix, it can be regarded as a precursor to China's sixth-generation fighter jet.

PL's chief engineer thought about it and finally decided to ask the research institute first to see if there was any breakthrough research. As it turned out, the replicated sample was sent over the next day.

How much weight can it drive?

"Currently, it can only handle 50KG..."

"50KG? That's enough!"

The chief designer has already planned out the parameters of the new missile in his mind. Its size is compressed to the size of the "Tianyan". With the assistance of the gravity drive device, the missile is not affected by gravity. Under the propulsion of the rocket engine, it can even reach the range of the PL-15. Moreover, since the internal gravity drive device can replace the missile's control surfaces to provide additional omnidirectional driving force, the missile can be designed directly into a cylindrical shape.

In other words, the new missile not only has a binary pulse rocket engine, but also the maneuverability of a dogfight missile!

"What suggestions do you have from the combat department?"

Missile design cannot be completed by one person alone; it requires collaboration among various research institutes and is a systematic project.

"The N2 warhead can compress the warhead volume as much as possible. The electronics institute has designed smaller electronic components using grating stone and fractal silicon as materials, which should meet the requirements of the missile guidance system."

The technology used in China's QN202 micro-missile has proven that missiles can be made smaller and smaller, with the only difference being their power and range.

"Hmm... I'll contact the Institute of Electronics later to see how they're doing."
