Otherworld Girl Development Guide

"Let's begin..."

As the electromagnetic pulse activated, the programmable nanomaterials, which were originally like dust, seemed to come alive and began to wriggle, quickly transforming from a solid state into a silvery liquid metal.

It looks like the liquid metal that makes up the T1000 in Terminator.

In a microscopic environment invisible to the naked eye, programmable nanomaterials, like "spirits," transform into desired shapes under the control of electromagnetic pulses.

"Put the general combat suit inside..."

The assistants excitedly immersed the general combat suits in silver "mercury," and then data lines flashed rapidly across the control computer.

Programmable nanomaterials begin to "attach" themselves to the outside of the universal combat suit according to a pre-set program.

Programmable nanomaterials have been incorporated into the gaps of the combat suit, further enhancing its airtightness.

Data points scrolled rapidly across the screen, and various parts were subtly contracted and adjusted to conform to the shape of the universal combat suit.

Everyone present was watching intently as the programmable nanomaterials slowly transformed.

A beep sounded, and then a line of text appeared on the screen:

Data transfer complete...

[Screen protector application complete...]

[The combat uniforms are currently undergoing optimization and upgrades...]

[Optimization complete...]

As programmable nanomaterials were attached to the general combat suit, the original silver color gradually transformed into matte black.

Suddenly, the general combat suit in front of me seemed to have really turned into the nanosuit from Crysis.

Seeing the success of his life's work, the academician rubbed his hands excitedly, like a child who had just received a piece of candy, and said to his assistant, "Quick, call a sergeant major over to give it a try!"

The nano-film is only attached to the outside of the general combat suit and will not come into direct contact with the skin. Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth; now it's time to put it to the test!

Chapter 348 New Clothes (9/10)

"How are you feeling?!"

The academician looked excitedly at the sergeant major who was wearing the "nanosuit".

If it weren't for the fact that the nanosuits in front of them had rabbit markings printed on them, the people present would have thought they had run into Area 51 of the United States, the smell was too strong!

The sergeant clenched his fist, feeling the difference between the general combat suit and the previous one.

"It fits better than before, and the performance seems even better..."

The sergeant turned to look out the window, and the world before him had undergone a dramatic transformation. The entire world had become dazzling and colorful, even displaying spectral frequencies invisible to the naked eye, such as ultraviolet light...

The sergeant's attention was focused on the sentry at the research institute's entrance. His visor automatically detected the pupil's focus and relayed the target's data, including but not limited to distance, weapon type, and threat level...

"This is?"

"Isn't programmable nanomaterial amazing? If we use it in our missiles, we can change the aerodynamic layout anytime, anywhere according to our needs and turn the F-35 into a turkey!"

The individual terminal of the general combat uniform is connected to the military network in Shangqiu via data link and satellite connection, displaying key information on the HUD... It can also accurately locate targets and integrate radar information to identify friendly and enemy units.

Individual soldiers can directly guide long-range firepower to strike target areas... When encountering locations that are easy to defend but difficult to attack, simply drop a laser-guided bomb on them... If one isn't enough, fire another!

The universal combat suit with the protective film can connect to a data link via a port to update the battlefield dynamics in real time, giving soldiers situational awareness.

"Now comes the main event!"

The academician waved to his assistant as if presenting a treasure, and almost instantly, the programmable nanomaterials attached to the general combat suit changed, and the sergeant slowly "melted" into the air.

One of the capabilities of programmable nanomaterials is optical stealth!

Programmable nanomaterials modify their own surface, and the nanomaterials recombine to form a crystal. The crystal can fully absorb and bend incoming light waves, and is enveloped in an invisible, curved light that emits specks of light, presenting a form that is completely invisible to the human eye and even the most sophisticated monitoring equipment.

The combat suit itself does not emit infrared radiation after the film is applied, meaning that infrared detectors cannot detect the combat suit that has activated its stealth function.

Humans' primary source of information is vision, and optical cloaking conceals one's existence to the greatest extent possible... However, programmable nanomaterials are currently scarce, mainly supplied to reconnaissance troops.

However, since the invisibility mode is formed by refracting light, the appearance of the "nanosuit" is inevitably somewhat distorted, especially when in motion, which increases the chance of being detected, just like looking at a walking mosaic.

Soon, the test caught the attention of the army officer, and an old man in a Zhongshan suit stood by and watched.

"Oh my! Honestly, why didn't you tell me sooner that you'd come up with such a treasure!"

An old commander from the army, his eyes shining as he looked at the sergeant major who slowly emerged from the air, stepped forward and shook the sergeant's hand. "Our old army brother has a new toy too."

Our army has invested in this project!

"Thank you for your hard work... I wonder, what other features does this equipment have?" the old commander asked like a curious child.

"Features?" The academician thought for a moment and said, "In extremely undesirable environmental temperatures, the nano-film suit will also maintain the user's body temperature, theoretically allowing the user to fight in various extreme environments, especially frigid environments."

Upon hearing about the frigid environment, wow, isn't this a printer?!

So here comes the question...

When will it be finalized? When will it be ready for deployment?

"This is still under testing... its protective capabilities have not yet been tested."

"It's okay, just tell me what you need, I'll provide manpower or money... You need to test the protection, right? Let's go!"

After saying that, the senior officer from the army pulled the academician toward the army firing range. The firing range had everything from pistols to 155mm howitzers. "Tell me how you want to test them!"

Our army definitely needs these combat uniforms!

Twenty minutes later, the academician's team was invited into the army's weapons firing range.

The universal combat suit, coated with a protective film, was put on a dummy made of ballistic gel and "armor mode" was activated.

In armor mode, programmable nanomaterials will form an impact-resistant structure at the microscopic level according to a pre-programmed program, and the surface will also be hardened, a typical structure with rubber filling under a steel plate.

The surface nano-coating absorbs the kinetic energy of the incident projectile and other destructive forces, such as heat and dangerous levels of radiation, effectively protecting the user from real physiological damage temporarily and thus enabling them to withstand what would normally be fatal impacts.

The most outrageous thing is that the nanomaterials are just a film applied on top. Theoretically, even if the nanomaterials in armor mode are penetrated, the underlying layer is still the ballistic plates of the general combat suit...

The attack pierced the enemy's armor, but not completely...

"Where to begin? The Type 95?"

"Let's start with the Type 89 heavy machine gun, testing it with armor-piercing rounds..."

Using 5.8mm toothpicks made of 95mm ammunition? Who do you think you are? If you're going to use them, at least use 12.7mm armor-piercing rounds!

"Row!"

With a wave of his hand, the army's senior officer summoned a squad of soldiers who, in less than two minutes, ran over carrying five Type 89 heavy machine guns and efficiently set them up.

The army commander nodded. The training was good, but now it was time to see how accurate they were.

The company commander stared intently at his soldiers. Anyone who failed to drag the target on the first shot would have to run five kilometers to calm down.

The machine gunner loaded the heavy machine gun bullets, each about the thickness of a finger, into the ammunition belt. After loading 200 rounds, he inserted the belt into the chamber, pulled the lever, and prepared to fire.

"Reporting, sir, all preparations are complete!"

The senior army officer asked with a smile, "Can we open fire now?"

"no problem!"

Boom!

The Type 89 heavy machine gun opened fire. Thanks to the gunner's superb marksmanship, the first 12.7mm bullet accurately hit the general combat uniform. Then, with continued firing, the trajectory of the Type 89's bullets began to drift, but it still managed to maintain firepower coverage...

"Not bad marksmanship..."

Although he didn't know much about weapons, the academician could tell that the machine gunner was quite skilled.

"Haha..."

The praised old commander laughed heartily: "These kids are really capable!"

Soon, the 200-round 12.7mm ammunition belt was emptied, and spent cartridge cases littered the ground, with smoke rising from the muzzle of the Type 89 heavy machine gun.

Chapter 349 Dirac's Reversal (10/10)

One hour of loading, a few seconds of joy... The machine gunner, having finished firing, stood up from the ground, stood at attention, and awaited instructions from his superior.

Soon after, the universal combat suit with the protective film was brought over, and the nanosuit's ability to withstand damage from a 12.7mm heavy machine gun was checked.

As for autocannons larger than 30mm... it's meaningless. Infantry usually face deadly heavy machine guns, and vehicles are often destroyed first, followed by urban warfare.

"Hmm...not bad. The nano-film withstood about eight shots from a 12.7mm heavy machine gun, but our bulletproof plates are of good quality; no vital areas were penetrated..."

After saying that, the academician laughed. Even a glancing blow from a 12.7mm heavy machine gun bullet would cause serious injury. The fact that the nanofilm can withstand 12.7mm bullets and allow a person wearing combat suit to maintain their human form is already quite impressive.

"Excellent, we are very optimistic about this project and will continue to monitor it..."

The old army commander decided to place an order first and reserve the spot, since it seemed that the production capacity of nanomaterials was limited, and he wanted to acquire at least a few more combat suits with nanofilm coatings.

At least in counter-terrorism operations, soldiers wearing nanosuits will let those terrorists know what an iron fist is!

"Alright, but this is just a test, and there are still many areas that need improvement..."

"Just tell me what you need; we do have some savings..."

Before the two could finish speaking, a loud bang suddenly came from afar, and a mushroom cloud rose up.

The old commander frowned slightly: "I remember that was the research institute, right?"

"Yes, that research institute that took the photos of the madman... it's exploded again."

"What is Academician Zhao researching?" the old leader asked thoughtfully.

"Dirac photon inversion!" the academician exclaimed, his expression changing.

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

"It exploded again... There's still a long way to go before we can achieve a perfect vacuum."

"master..."

The assistant looked at his mentor with a mix of amusement and exasperation. Although he had long known that there was only a fine line between a scientist and a madman, his mentor's research project had already blown up three research institutes. Fortunately, it was being conducted remotely.

Academician Zhao's institute focuses on photonic physics. Especially after the discovery of grating stones, the research projects have made rapid progress, and the institute has soon set its sights on "Dirac photonic inversion".

The so-called Dirac photon inversion refers to how matter and antimatter neutralize and cancel each other out, leaving behind non-material things like photons when they annihilate. If this process is reversed, the photons will become a pair of matter and antimatter.
