Otherworld Girl Development Guide

Ignition, rocket-assisted underwater vehicles launched in sequence, and the three vehicles flew straight toward the abnormal area 50 nautical miles away... Sometimes, by changing the warhead, a weapon can become a very useful tool.

With the rocket engine propelling it, the submersible charged and took off. Soon after, the rocket engine shut down, and the submersible flew to the target area by inertia.

After delivering the submersible to the designated location, the rocket engine detached, and the submersible deployed its parachute to reduce its speed before crashing into the sea.

After the submersible fell into the sea, it split into two sections. One section was a transmitting device that floated on the surface of the sea and was connected to the submersible through a 0.3mm reinforced optical fiber. The other section was the main body of the submersible, which was responsible for exploring the seabed.

One drawback of unmanned underwater vehicles is that they are not very flexible. Overly complex maneuvers can cause the fiber optic cables at the rear of the vehicle to get tangled. However, the advantage is that if an accident occurs, only three underwater vehicles will be lost.

Before the situation is fully investigated, the rabbit will not allow the researchers to go down; that would be tantamount to murder.

Under the control of researchers, the submersibles dispersed and began exploring the seabed.

The seabed, thousands of meters below the surface, is pitch black. However, the submersible does not rely on sight to search; instead, it uses sonar to explore the surrounding terrain.

The AI ​​program in the submersible allows it to automatically avoid obstacles on the seabed.

With the exploration of the three submersibles, the three-dimensional model of the seabed was quickly analyzed by the supercomputer.

One of the submersibles was exploring close to the seabed, using its scanner to scan for seabed minerals.

"This terrain is..."

The seabed has the same topography as land, with plains, hills, and trenches. The target area is surrounded by plains at a depth of 1000 meters, and there are several trenches around it. The depth of these trenches has not yet been determined.

"The magnetic field distribution is off..."

As the surveys continued, the data returned gradually became strange, showing a very uneven distribution of the magnetic field.

Unbeknownst to them, the arrival of the submersible caused ripples in the once calm sea, and shadows appeared one after another in the nearby trench, rushing toward the submersible that was emitting active sonar.

Just as the researchers were about to control the submersible to carefully search the nearby sea area, one of the submersibles suddenly became unresponsive, and the feedback image froze... In this day and age, it's practically impossible for the network to freeze.

"what's the situation?"

Before the operators even realized it, the remaining two underwater vehicles also quickly lost contact.

"What's going on here?"

The researchers didn't realize what was happening, but the escorting warships reacted almost immediately.

"This is Chongming. A giant shadow has been discovered on the seabed. Repeat... Multiple giant shadows have been discovered on the seabed... Location..."

The high-precision optical sensor below Chongming, a photoelectric distributed aperture radar, captured seven or eight shadows on the sea surface.

These shadows formed an orderly formation.

The Type 055L destroyer and Type 054L frigate responsible for escorting the ships adjusted their formation.

At 50 nautical miles, the target was quite far away, and judging from the other side's behavior, they did not detect the fleet 50 nautical miles away.

"Commander, should we attack the sea monster?"

The commander looked at the shadows beneath the water and fell into deep thought. Their mission was to escort the research vessel. These sea monsters were far from the fleet. According to the principle of minimum action, the escorting warships would not take the initiative to attack, travel 50 nautical miles, and go to attack the sea monsters that posed no threat to the research vessel.

"Strengthen anti-submarine warfare capabilities; these will be handled by Pengkun-1."

"clear."

In the sky, in Pengkun's hangar, the Qingluan drone was preparing for sortie.

Ground crew mounted the anti-submarine torpedoes on the heavy-duty pylons of the aircraft.

Immediately, the platform moved towards the launch deck, and after confirming that everything was normal, the fairing was opened and the drone took off!

Three drones carrying nine anti-submarine torpedoes headed straight for the exposed sea monster.

The aircraft's speed was immediately apparent, and it quickly flew to the area where the sea monster had appeared.

Chongming assigned the target information to Qingluan via data link.

Upon receiving the attack order, the Azure Phoenix swooped straight down.

Beep beep beep... The optical sensors on the machine have detected a sea monster still wandering on the seabed.

The torpedoes were dropped from under the wings.

After adjusting its center of gravity, the torpedo rapidly plummeted towards the sea surface.

After approaching the sea surface, the parachute opened, and it fell into the water with a splash.

This was like casting bait into a pond; the sea monsters swarmed towards the torpedo.

The parachute detached, the active sonar activated, and with adjustments to the control surfaces, it charged towards the sea monster.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Huge white columns of water, mixed with red blood foam, rose from the sea surface.

Chapter 345 The Wingman Plan (6/10)

At the Star Ring Research Institute, Bell and Tio are preparing to simplify the design of a small thermonuclear engine, which is three meters in size and has a thrust of 35 to 40 tons, based on RH0001.

This engine is primarily used as an auxiliary engine for small drones or heavy fighter jets.

That's right, our auxiliary engines have a thrust of over 35 tons!

The two were designing the engine's mechanical structure while exchanging ideas in the NT chat room.

(=￣ω￣=)?(=￣ω￣=)

"Tio, what are we having for dinner?" Bell asked absentmindedly, watching the computer simulation engine run.

"Just grab something to eat in the cafeteria."

Tio responded in a monotone tone.

Without Old Zhou as their nanny at home, and too lazy to cook for themselves, they figured they might as well just grab a bite at the cafeteria, since the food at the Star Ring Research Institute's cafeteria was pretty good anyway.

As a rabbit, I ask myself three questions every day: What to eat for breakfast, what to eat for lunch, and what to eat for dinner.

People who cook can rack their brains...

"Hmm, Bell, what do you think about us using a ramjet engine for our auxiliary engine?"

Theo looked at the simulation data on the computer and said softly.

As an auxiliary engine, it mainly improves the collective thrust and mobility... The main engine is a three-dimensional vector engine, and the auxiliary engine is also a three-dimensional vector engine. The maneuverability of such a monster machine is terrifying!

Although a powerful aircraft can fly, as a fighter jet, it still needs an aerodynamic shape within the atmosphere.

The advantage of ramjet mode is that it eliminates the need for a turbofan to pump air into the thermonuclear engine, which further simplifies the engine structure. It can even be used as a reference for hypersonic missiles, fixing everything in the engine in place, making the engine more robust and durable. The simpler the structure, the higher the reliability.

As for where the air needed for the ramjet engine comes from, isn't there also the 100 tons of thrust provided by two thermonuclear turbine engines?

With the engine smaller, the load on the wings will be much less. The way to solve the "vibration" of forward-swept wings at high speeds is to focus on materials science. However, in the Duck Rush mode, the forward-swept wings can be adjusted, for example, like the Bluebird, the forward-swept wings can be changed to backward-swept wings.

This small thermonuclear engine can even be crammed into a missile, making such a heavy missile virtually cruise indefinitely and a nightmare for all aircraft, since it's impossible to consume the missile's energy through flight maneuvers.

The electricity provided by the ramjet engine can power the voltage armor of the machine and the onboard ultraviolet laser, making it simple and practical.

“In that case, let’s use energy-converting materials for the frame and use electromagnetic pulses to strengthen the frame. We’ll also add 1mm of energy-converting armor to the integrated skin. Anyway, this weight is easy for the four thermonuclear engines to handle…” Tio said after thinking for a moment.

"The flight control system is more difficult..."

Lingdang gathered her long purple hair, narrowed her amber eyes, and thought, "Controlling two vector engines and control surfaces is enough to drive a programmer bald. Four vector engines, plus the program for variable-slip wings..."

Most ordinary programmers have already said goodbye to programming. Writing flight control programs still requires some professional knowledge, and I wonder how many programmers will go bald because of it.

After discussing for a while, Lingdang and Tio decided to try using a ramjet engine, since research is a process of trial and error.

If a normal thermonuclear engine is crammed into the wing, the aircraft will inevitably be enlarged, increasing the requirements for supporting facilities.

Of course, it's not impossible to fit four thermonuclear engines in, like the H20. As long as the machine can withstand it, fitting six thermonuclear engines in is no problem.

With a thrust of 300 cubic meters per second, as a bomber, there's no need to compromise on aerodynamics. Just maintain the most basic aerodynamic layout and focus on armor.

Voltage-type armor is combined with energy-charged armor, layer upon layer, and thrust is used to solve other problems.

However, this H20 has departed from the concept of a bomber and become a pure attack bomber... and an anti-gravity one at that.

“Since the thermonuclear engine has already been simplified, why don’t we design another model with a turbofan added, to prepare for small drones?” Bell thought for a moment and said.

“I think it’s a good idea…” Tio nodded.

“Codenamed ‘Wingman Project’,” Bell said, shaking her finger.

Drones? Cheap and practical... a thermonuclear engine with 40 tons of thrust, weapons like ultraviolet laser emitters, and maybe twenty or thirty can missiles.

The wingman program replaces manned wingmen with drones. In combat, drones are positioned in the forward positions to enter the most dangerous areas, while manned aircraft can take command from a safe rear.

"As for the mechs, let's modify the ones we already have. There are so many old mechs in our inventory; let's revive them and give them a second life..."

During their conversation, the two retrieved the penis and began making modifications...

First, the cockpit can be removed and replaced with a spotlight system covered by electromagnetic shielding. Then, the internal fuel tanks can be removed and replaced with an ammunition bay...

The J8's aerodynamic layout is well-suited for high-speed attacks, and with its 40-ton thrust engine, it can certainly be put back into service. However, the airframe structure needs to be reinforced, otherwise this "old man" might not be able to withstand the thrust generated by the thermonuclear engine and would fall apart during an overload maneuver.

The avionics system also needs to be upgraded, with a complete replacement of fiber optic cables...

Tick-tock...tick-tock...time passed by second by second, and the two of them completely forgot about the passage of time while focused on their design.

"Well..."

Feeling a bit sore, Lingdang got up and stretched. Her amber eyes glanced at the photo of herself and Lao Zhou on her desk, and she narrowed her eyes slightly.

"It's already twelve o'clock..." Lingdang said in surprise.

"Since Lao Zhou isn't home anyway, let's sleep at the research institute tonight," Tio said softly.

"it is good..."

As the "princess" of the Star Ring, the two's office is comparable to a seven-star hotel, with a rest room equipped with a shower and toiletries in addition to the research area.

After saving the documents, the two went to the washroom to wash up.

Amidst the buzzing of the electric toothbrush, Bell and Theo simultaneously looked at each other's height.

Half a catty, eight taels...

I compared their figures again...

The match is even...

"Tio, what do you think Old Zhou is doing now?"
