Otherworld Girl Development Guide

It is clear that the descendants of the demons have controlled the sea creatures in an unknown way, and can even give them sufficiently clear commands.

“I think it should be related to the red line…” an academician said, “…Sea mammals come in all shapes and sizes, but their only commonality is that they are all parasitized by the red line. Lao Lu specializes in studying the red line, so he knows more about it.”

"According to feedback from the research fleet, our anti-ship missiles did not sink the enemy's transport ship. After submerging, the enemy left the area through unidentified means..."

At this point, the room fell silent. The enemy had survived, which meant that they had likely obtained intelligence about the naval forces of Shangqiu. The next battle would not be as simple as this one.

Similarly, it also allowed Shangqiu to learn about the technology of these remnants of evil.

"We need to change our tactics; our weapons are simply not powerful enough to deal with these enemies, especially against human-made aircraft..."

The video shows an aircraft being hit by a HQ-10 short-range air defense missile. The enemy aircraft was only shaken slightly, without causing any effective damage.

"...Its power is a bit lacking!"

Upon hearing that the firepower was somewhat insufficient, the bigwigs present became somewhat uneasy.

"Replace the missile's warhead as soon as possible, even if it costs more!"

"In addition, neither the 1130 nor the 730 close-in weapon system is well-suited to dealing with these aircraft. We need to replace them with a secondary gun that can provide sustained firepower."

Weapons are designed for the enemy. Human weapons are good against human weapons, but they are somewhat ineffective against these aircraft whose principles are completely different from those of human aircraft.

However, the greatest advantage of the Chinese is its ability to learn. As a branch of the military that will soon be engaged in close combat with the enemy, the next step for the navy should be to upgrade its weapon systems in a timely manner.

"In that case, I suggest that the close-in weapon system be replaced with a small-caliber electromagnetic railgun that can fire continuously for precise point defense, and the main gun should also be replaced with an electromagnetic railgun. If there were electromagnetic railguns in this battle, the enemy's carrier ship would have already been sunk," the academician from the Institute of Weaponry Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences said softly.

"The Type 005 aircraft carrier also needs to be commissioned as soon as possible... But before that, we need a powerful underwater attack weapon. The existing conventional submarines did not perform well in this battle, and judging from the way the transport ships appeared, underwater combat will become the top priority."

At this point, the naval leader couldn't help but feel a little helpless. Humanity's only underwater attack weapon is the submarine... and the only way to attack is with torpedoes. If you really want to fight more fiercely underwater, conventional submarines are still not enough.

"I remember Xiong Jiang's family recently had a few Typhoon-class submarines sitting in the harbor rusting. How about we buy them?"

The Typhoon-class, also known as the Type 941 strategic nuclear submarine, began construction in 1977 and entered service in 1981. The last one entered service in 1989. A total of 6 were built. Currently, only one of them is still in operation. The high maintenance costs have long been a source of great distress for me.

Exchanging a few inoperable Typhoon-class ships for a small amount of money is a good deal... as long as some adjustments are made in the process.

"They might not sell, right?"

"It's alright, we'll just buy the shell. The torpedo launching method should also be changed. Vertical launch modules can launch missiles, so there's no reason why they can't launch torpedoes!"

Chapter 363 Demolition

The 941 nuclear submarine, as the largest submarine in human history, could be easily modified to serve as a main force in underwater combat. Moreover, its hull design is a high-pressure resistant structure, far exceeding that of ordinary submarines.

In the field of nuclear submarines, the Russians' technology is truly unparalleled; in some aspects, even the American would have to exclaim that they are from another planet.

The Typhoon-class submarines are perfectly suited for conversion into attack nuclear submarines. In the old man's words, tonnage equals combat power. With the Typhoon-class's massive tonnage and firepower coverage, it only needs a few minor modifications to become a major underwater attack force.

Firstly, in terms of propulsion mode, it was directly changed to magnetohydrodynamic propulsion, and then an internal "force field actuator" was installed, so that it could still have a certain degree of maneuverability when the main engine was stopped.

Then comes the energy system, which is the Shenguang series laser confinement fusion reactor. Finally, there's the firepower system, which is the ballistic missile launcher that has been modified into an underwater vertical launch module, allowing for a saturation torpedo attack with a single salvo.

Not many, just two are enough to change the current situation of somewhat weak underwater combat capabilities. Then, we can develop our own large attack nuclear submarines. The Typhoon-class is just for emergency use.

"In that case, we need to change our weapon design approach. The 533mm diameter is too conservative. Let's replace them all with the 650mm heavy magnetohydrodynamic propellant N2 torpedoes..."

The enemy is no longer human, so there's no reason to play the humanitarian card. Just keep pushing the explosive charge up to the maximum, and there's also the new N2 explosive torpedo. The 533mm explosive charge can't keep up with the 650mm. With a 533mm torpedo, the sea monster might still have a chance to breathe, but with a 650mm torpedo, one shot will kill the sea monster.

"To ensure compatibility with weapons on Earth, we should make the 650mm torpedo tubes as compatible as possible with 533mm torpedoes, which would make them more flexible."

While it's possible to design more advanced submarines with larger displacements, the only underwater weapons humans can currently use are torpedoes. Space warships can be equipped with laser cannons; for underwater warships to use laser weapons is no longer science fiction, but fantasy...

Boom... Crack...

Inside the bridge of the Pengkun-1, the captain frowned as he looked at the thunderstorm clouds below the ship. In this kind of weather, reconnaissance was extremely difficult, and the satellites in the sky were practically blind... The aperture radar was interfered with by the thunderstorm, and the optical sensors could not penetrate the thick clouds.

The captain glanced at the clock on the wall. In less than fifteen minutes, Pengkun-1 would contact the fleet to confirm its status.

"Time's up, inquire about the fleet's situation..."

The other party replied that everything was normal.

"Tell them to watch out..."

The captain was so concerned because the research vessel wanted to open the spacecraft that the big shot had boarded to see if they could capture the aliens inside.

After the report was submitted, the Shangqiu authorities agreed to their request after considering various factors, the main reason being their concern that the pilot inside the aircraft might be trapped and die.

The instructions given were to treat prisoners of war well, but those who cooperated were called prisoners, while those who did not were called diehards!

Inside the hangar of the research vessel, researchers are cleaning the aircraft that came aboard, which is one of the biggest gains of this expedition; another find is the salvaged ancient civilization vehicle.

This scientific expedition made Shangqiu realize that there are indeed remnants of demons in the depths of the Abyss Sea, and their technological strength. The next step is to make contact with individuals of this civilization.

"Prepare!"

Inside the hangar, soldiers in NBC protective suits stepped forward, armed with hydraulic shears and other tools, preparing to pry open the aircraft.

The aircraft's outer shell was covered with marks from shrapnel impacts after the missile explosion, and several connecting rods were deeply embedded in the shell.

"It was shot down by HHQ-9..."

"Alright, stop discussing it. If we keep going, the aliens inside might die."

At this point, the group glanced at the security personnel inside the hangar.

A platoon of sailors in general combat uniforms occupied the hangar exit, setting up fortifications in squads, with 12.7mm heavy machine guns aimed at the aircraft's position... and even recoilless rifles were deployed on the fortifications.

Chemical defense soldiers carry flamethrowers and will immediately step forward to purify everything with flames should an unexpected situation arise.

"Let's begin recording!"

On the helmets of the demolition workers, monitors showed the drone in preparation, and then the demolition operation began.

The operator, wielding hydraulic shears, first circled the aircraft, roughly analyzing its internal structure in his mind, before finally focusing on the leaking water damage to the outer shell.

"Let's start here..."

The hydraulic shears probe into the edge of the damaged area. As the hydraulic pump operates, the shear blades begin to work and slowly close.

Creak... The aircraft's metal hull slowly deformed before the hydraulic shears, eventually breaking...

With a "poof," a large amount of transparent liquid flowed out from the breach. Some researchers analyzed the liquid and found that it was seawater, which is ubiquitous in the area.

"Uh... just how much seawater got in here?"

"Don't just stand there, continue..."

The workers used hydraulic shears to create a cross-shaped notch, and then switched to hydraulic pliers to widen the opening, just like opening a can.

However, as the opening widened, the liquid inside didn't decrease; instead, it increased...

"Wait, something's not right! Stop..."

A technician nearby signaled to the workers to stop the dismantling, glanced at the load scale under the aircraft, and frowned slightly.

"...The aircraft's weight is decreasing, and the data is somewhat abnormal..."

Upon hearing this, the technicians present put down their tools, exchanged glances, and finally looked at the person in charge on site.

"If the weight is relatively low, does that mean the spacecraft will be entirely filled with liquid?"

"It's all water, how can we breathe?" another person asked instinctively.

"Who said aliens need to breathe?"

"Don't the humans on Mingrui Star breathe oxygen...?"

"The problem is that this is the ocean, and the species might have changed. If they start breathing with gills, and we drain the water, they might really suffocate!"

At this point, those present were taken aback, realizing they had fallen into a misconception, mistaking the liquid for seawater seeping into the spacecraft, and perhaps the creatures inside really did breathe with gills, just like fish...

"...These aliens in the abyss sea are likely different from humans. Let's put a pinhole camera in to see what's inside!"

Chapter 364 Starfish

"Prepare a hidden camera to check the situation inside the aircraft..."

Seeing the aircraft leaking water continuously, the personnel in charge of the demolition decided to check what was inside the aircraft before deciding how to open it.

Treat people differently based on their status...

Soon, a thin, pinhole camera, resembling a gastroscope probe, was brought over, inserted into the breach in the aircraft, and slowly entered the interior along the moist passage.

"Slow down...be gentle..."

The person in charge repeatedly told the operators to go slower.

"Don't worry, I'm an old hand!"

As the pinhole probe penetrated deeper, the interior of the aircraft was revealed to the group.

First of all, the internal structure is much simpler than that of human aircraft, without complex wiring and fuel supply networks. This is probably related to the principle of aircraft; they do not need engines to provide thrust, and can control the flight direction of the aircraft directly with gravity.

With the probe penetrating deeper, researchers gained a general understanding of the object's internal structure, but more detailed information requires further investigation.

Not only vacuum cameras, but if possible, they also plan to use ultrasound to explore the internal structure and further analyze the aircraft's structure... for example, its weaknesses.

After spending over an hour gaining a general understanding of the aircraft's internal structure, and following instructions from the personnel, we prepared to delve deeper...

"Let's go inside the cockpit and see what's piloting this thing..."

"OK..."

The probe began to move towards the oval-shaped compartment of the aircraft, which, according to researchers, is likely the aircraft's cockpit.

"I bet the person piloting this thing is a mermaid..."

When mermaids are mentioned, the operators next to them can't help but think of the stories about "Man and Seafood".

"...If it's a mermaid, those who study biology will go crazy."

As they spoke, the probe reached the outside of the oval-shaped cockpit. After probing it, it found the cockpit to be very solid, with almost no gaps the probe could penetrate. It turned to the commander and asked:

"Drill it open?"

"Drill it open."

Dismantling will inevitably have some impact on the aircraft, as long as the overall structure remains intact.

"it is good..."
