Otherworld Girl Development Guide

Looking around, the surrounding seawater was much clearer, and one could see clearly what was around them. However, looking down, the seawater below was like a black abyss, giving one the feeling that it might open its gaping maw at any moment and swallow one whole.

Wang Fugui quickly suppressed these thoughts, as random thoughts can leave psychological suggestions and could potentially develop into mental illness.

Reach out and select the playlist; "Good Luck" will appear. Press play.

Suddenly, a joyful song reached his ears, lifting Wang Fugui's spirits. He turned to look at the location of the ancient civilization vehicle, where an indicator light of unknown function was still flashing.

Chapter 355 The Heavenly Gate Plan

The foreman kept a close eye on the depth data, as he had to send the news of finding the "treasure" to the research vessel as soon as possible.

Even though it might only be ten minutes early, it's a matter of every second, and we have to hurry.

"We discovered an ancient civilization's vessel underwater, and the still-functioning devices on it appear to have been activated..."

The foreman explained everything in detail, and then the research vessel quickly got ready. The crane lowered the ropes into the water, and Wang Fugui and his colleagues began hoisting the vehicle.

Lifting is also a technical skill. When hoisting ropes onto objects, it is essential to ensure that the ropes do not slip, while also maintaining the stability of ancient vehicles. After all, ancient vehicles are not like iron balls, which have dedicated mooring positions.

After more than ten minutes of busy work, the hoisting was completed, and the crane then lifted the ancient civilization's vessel from the sea...

The academician stood on the deck of the research vessel, watching the crane lift the ancient civilization's vessel from the seawater, muttering to himself:

"careful!"

"careful!"

"Slower!"

Although he said that, the academician had no intention of interfering at all. After all, he was not an expert in hoisting and other such matters, and the hoisting should be done by experts.

Under the expectant gaze of the academicians, the ancient vehicle was hoisted onto the deck.

The first person to go up was not a researcher, but a chemical defense soldier wearing a chemical protective suit. He first used a Geller counter to test the radiation level and, after confirming that there was radiation, began to spray disinfectant.

After all, this is an ancient vehicle; who knows if there are any unknown dangers on board...

After the disinfection process was completed, the academician and his assistant stepped forward to examine the ancient artifact that had been salvaged from the sea.

"Oh..."

The academician looked at the constantly flashing indicator lights on the vehicle. Despite the wear and tear of countless years and varying degrees of damage, this creation of an ancient civilization was still able to keep operating.

The quality is truly excellent, which may also be related to the fact that it has been submerged at the bottom of the sea for many years.

Thinking of this, the academician examined the damaged parts of the ancient civilization's vehicle again. It seemed to have been pierced by something, and seawater was still flowing out of the hole...

Just as we were about to check what was inside, the 055L destroyer escorting us suddenly sounded its horn.

This is a signal to all deck personnel that, except for essential personnel, everyone else should take refuge inside the ship.

The academician clicked his tongue, suppressed his desire to conduct research immediately, and walked towards the interior of the ship. The alien vehicle was hoisted by the staff and would be transported to a sealed compartment inside the research vessel.

This is a high-security compartment, not only airtight and under negative pressure, but also with security personnel observing the interior.

Who knows if some strange and unusual things might emerge from the creations of ancient civilizations, just like Resident Evil is a realistic record of the US.

After the ancient artifacts were safely contained, only the staff who had contained the underwater iron ball and a few security personnel armed with assault rifles remained on the deck of the research vessel.

This research vessel is not a dedicated iron ball transport ship. The method of containing the iron balls is somewhat inefficient and needs further improvement to increase the ascent speed and make deployment more convenient.

After all, the water pressure in the deep sea is too great. Deep-sea submersibles need a transition period to reach the open sea. Otherwise, the speed is too fast and the microstructure of the submersible can be easily damaged, leaving hidden dangers. To put it bluntly, it's because the materials science is not up to par.

In contrast to the relaxed atmosphere on the research vessel, the fleet was on edge because the thing that had surfaced from the sea was not the sea monster they had imagined, but some kind of metallic object!

After the 200-meter-long man-made metal structure emerged from the water, several shadows appeared in the surrounding sea. A huge 50-meter-long figure emerged from the sea, with countless thick tentacles slapping the surface.

Soon, the sea monsters seemed to receive some kind of instruction and immediately rushed towards the fleet.

The appearance of metallic artifacts in the Abyss Sea, and those that seemed to be under command, immediately caught the attention of the fleet commander. As the ship's commander, he had the authority to make decisions on the spot, and judging from the attitude of the other party, it was not so friendly.

The Abyss Sea is not a place for civilization. The battle with the sea monsters has been going on for more than two years. Even though these sea monsters have shown that they can be controlled, they still have to show their strength.

The ship's commander said in a deep voice, "Prepare to engage. Also... send a radio signal and see if we can communicate with the other side!"

"understand!"

"This is the Shangqiu Navy! Halt immediately! Repeat... halt immediately!"

Upon the first warning, the 200-meter-long artificial deck opened, and strangely shaped aircraft were launched from it, flying straight toward the fleet.

These aircraft do not focus on aerodynamic shape, nor do they have obvious propulsion devices. They appear to use force-guided technology, using gravity to generate driving force to propel the aircraft for maneuvering.

Seeing the enemy's posture, the ship's commander abandoned the initial dialogue, picked up the microphone, and loudly announced, "Pengkun 1, this is the scientific research fleet. We have encountered an unknown enemy and need support..."

"Pengkun-1 received..."

Almost instantly upon receiving the request for support, the fighter jets on combat readiness duty on the flight deck of Pengkun-1 entered the sortie procedure.

Meanwhile, Chongming, who was constantly monitoring from high altitude, also sent the unidentified flying objects back to the Shangqiu Integrated Command Center via data link.

Inside the command center of the integrated command post, the high-ranking officials from Shangqiu fell silent as they watched the enemy emerge from the seabed.

They were not in charge of combat command, nor would they interfere with battlefield command; instead, they were discussing future deployments.

"Finally, we've met it..." one of the leaders said in a low voice, looking at the aircraft flying nimbly in the sky.

The legends surrounding the goddess, along with the existence of treasures and other items that could prove their authenticity, suggest that one might encounter the descendants of "demons" in the Abyss Sea.

After all, the descendants of the goddess have continued to live on, so there is no reason why the "demon" would not have any remnants. Therefore, the possibility of encountering the "demon" during the second expedition was also part of the contingency plan.

"Since there are indeed enemies in the Abyss Sea, and they have shown malice, we must prepare ourselves. The Abyss Sea concerns our development for the next hundred years; there is no room for retreat..."

The resources discovered in the Abyss Sea include, but are not limited to, oil, magic horn ore, grating stone, thorn crystals, copper ore, natural gas, and combustible ice, etc., all of which are abundant enough to make a rabbit step into the sea of ​​stars.

The hope for peaceful communication is slim, but there is no room for retreat or compromise!

"It's time to implement our previously prepared contingency plan... Project Tianmen!"

Chapter 356 Soaring Ambitions

At an altitude of 18,000 meters, the Pengkun-1, with its enormous wingspan spread, soared gracefully through the sky like a ray in the ocean, leaving a long contrail trailing behind it...

Ding!

Ding!

The urgent warning echoed inside the Pengkun-1 ship, and the crew members who were resting in various compartments immediately jumped up and ran towards their combat posts.

Inside the ship, counterweights, controlled by a quantum computer, begin to adjust the balance of various areas of the ship, maintaining a certain balance even against anti-gravity.

The shipborne high-power X-band radar detected an "unknown flying object" in the sky. After being identified by the IFF, it was deemed "unknown" and marked as an enemy.

On the huge holographic tactical sand table, areas were marked out with Pengkun-1 as the center. At the same time, the carrier-based aircraft on duty in the air became an extension of Pengkun-1's field of vision, and the depth on the tactical sand table continued to extend... The real-time situational awareness system displayed the enemy's every move on the tactical sand table.

"All ships are on high alert. Deploy your aircraft, with this ship at the center. Azure Phoenix Squadron, depart immediately..."

The officers at each post below began to proceed with the operational procedures according to regulations.

Alarms kept ringing in the CIC, indicating that this was not an exercise, but a real combat situation!

Inside the hangar of Pengkun-1, the carrier platform began to rise toward the flight deck. On the platform was the Qingluan UAV, ready to strike at any time. It is also the sharpest sword so far, apart from the sixth-generation fighter jet currently under development.

After the platform carrying the Azure Phoenix ascended to the flight deck, the complex procedures were simplified. Following a successful self-check, ground crew pressed the fairing switch, and the fairing opened to its designated position...

"The flight path is cleared; Azure Phoenix Squadron is ready to launch..."

Upon receiving the sortie order, the Qingluan UAV's engine emitted a long plume of flame as it glided less than forty meters off the flight deck and took off, followed by a second, a third...

Three Azure Phoenixes formed a three-plane formation and quickly flew towards the fleet to provide air support.

At this moment, all departments of Pengkun-1 are preparing for battle. Like naval vessels, the combat power of Pengkun-1 is not that of any one person, but of the entire group.

"Air traffic control contacted all scrambled aircraft..."

"Notify all personnel to their combat positions..."

"Firewall blocked..."

With firewalls shut down in all channels, we must be fully prepared for battle. Even if Pengkun-1 is unlikely to be attacked, we must prepare for the worst. The biggest concern for warships is a fire breaking out on board.

"Firefighters in position, no unauthorized movement within the ship... Repeat, all ships on Level 1 combat readiness..."

The command center of Pengkun-1 issued orders one after another, and Pengkun-1 started operating like a precise machine.

Amidst the blaring alarms, pilots clutching their golden helmets rushed towards their respective aircraft, while the hangar's intercom system continuously broadcast deployment orders...

The Qingluan UAVs act as the vanguard, while the other UAVs provide fire support. Unless necessary, manned aircraft will not enter the combat zone, but will only be responsible for launching PL-15 missiles from the rear, using a "A launches, B detonates" method to strike the enemy.

"Shipborne fire control system activated..."

"Yes!"

The weapon modules on Pengkun-1 are activated, the laser close-in weapon system moves rapidly on the electromagnetic rail, and the cute big eyes look towards the direction from which the attack may come. In the vertical launch module, the anti-aircraft missiles are powered on.

Voltage-type armor charging, charging armor activates...

The radar enters aperture (radar beam convergence) mode and begins tracking the target detected by the radar. The fire control radar is activated and ready to guide anti-aircraft missiles...

As a large aerospace carrier platform, the Pengkun-1 has three times the number of fire channels (referring to the number of targets the system can simultaneously engage) of the Type 055 destroyer. With the assistance of its internal supercomputer, it can almost simultaneously capture all the spacecraft released by unknown civilizations.

"Chongming, calling Pengkun... Enemy is approaching the fleet... Over."

Chongming is like the eyes released by Pengkun, constantly monitoring the battlefield situation, preparing his troops for mid-course guidance of missiles...

"Anti-submarine and air defense operations commence. Firing authority is granted to the research fleet!" The captain of the Pengkun-1 forwarded the order from the Shangqiu Comprehensive Command.

"After recovering the underwater personnel, the research vessel shall immediately withdraw from the combat zone and, until further orders are received, maintain its course and return to the Xirang base..."

Meanwhile, at the Xirang base's airfield, the KJ-2000 airborne early warning and control aircraft on combat readiness is moving from the runway to the ski-jump ramp and joining the combat system. It is connected to the combat network via data link to alleviate the combat command pressure on the Pengkun-1 aircraft.

The Pengkun-1 coordinates operations, while the KJ-2000 early warning aircraft commands squadron-level air units, increasing command efficiency...

The main reason why modern air forces no longer engage in aerial combat with hundreds of aircraft as seen in World War II is that their command systems are outdated. What kind of computer can simultaneously command so many fifth-generation fighter jets in combat, and what about the air-to-air missiles they launch...?

After the KJ-2000 took off, two J-10s with external fuel tanks followed closely behind the KJ-2000 like bodyguards with swords, their PL-15 safety devices on their wings already deployed, ready to launch at any moment.

"This is KJ-02, you have connected to the command link..."

"Pengkun received. All aircraft, maintain your original deployment and proceed to designated positions for combat... Repeat, all aircraft..."

Soon, on the flight deck of Pengkun-1, the next six Qingluan fighter jets, having completed their combat readiness, took off and connected to the command network.

"Azure Phoenix Squadron Two, depart from the flight deck..."
