Otherworld Girl Development Guide

"...However, the 40mm is an export version, which probably wouldn't suit your taste. In the end, we chose the domestically produced 35mm caseless ammunition system."

Zhou Mingrui understood what the Dou Zong expert was saying. The 59-X was only so big, a four-meter-tall quadruped drone with a limited payload. Once the control system, observation and aiming system, phased array radar, active interception system, etc., were all crammed in, there wasn't much room left for weapons.

Furthermore, modern warfare is all about systematic operations. If the Type 59-X can't handle something, just leave it to the vehicles that can. If the 35mm caseless ammunition system can't penetrate it, how can the Type 99A's 125mm smoothbore gun possibly handle it?

If that really can't be solved, there's always the 155mm big bomb!

There's bound to be one that can destroy the enemy's cover.

"Alright, speaking of which, yesterday that middle-aged Dou Sheng expert proposed building a land-based cruiser? His imagination is even wilder than mine!"

What's the point of a cruiser on land? Its hundreds of tons of weight make it terrible for road maneuvering. But the technology behind it is valuable: new suspension systems, chassis systems... That's how scientific research is; some things require investing money to build up technological reserves.

For example, could we manufacture a large mobile research base in a low-gravity environment? Otherwise, by the time we need this technology, it will be too late to research it.

"I'll talk to the finance department later and ask them to allocate funds to middle-aged Dou Huang powerhouses, just as a technical reserve."

"A wise decision, boss."

After chatting with the young Dou Zong expert for a while, the exercise began: the blue team attacked, and the red team defended.

59-X took its first steps on all fours and slowly walked into the street.

The sergeant major stood close to the street, aiming his new smart assault rifle at every corner where there might be an ambush.

Suddenly, the thermal imager on the photoelectric turret detected a series of heat sources approaching, forming a semi-encirclement.

The information was immediately shared to the sergeant's helmet, enabling the controller to share battlefield information with the 59-X.

A row of information flashed quickly across the sergeant's helmet:

Target found...

IFF recognition...unknown...

20mm assault gun ready...

Open fire!

Boom boom boom!

The 59-X turned its guns around and launched a suppressive barrage of paint rounds. One after another, paint rounds exploded in front of the Red Army soldiers' bunkers. The splashing paint made it impossible for the enemy to raise their heads, and they dared not approach the bunkers. A 20mm caliber weapon is a cannon, after all, and it is easy to be judged as killed in action.

The Red Team's platoon leader gave a hand signal to his soldiers, preparing for standard infantry anti-vehicle tactics.

The attackers draw the vehicle's attention, while the others use rocket launchers to destroy it from another direction.

While 59-X was focused on the "decoy," the other fire team popped up, picked up their guns, and before they could even fire, thick smoke billowed from the smoke generator on their helmets... He was "killed" by the sergeant major.

At this moment, the infantrymen on the third flank suddenly stood up and opened fire on the 59-X with their pistols.

Whoosh! The engine ignited, and the rocket flew toward the 59-X. The two soldiers were immediately "killed" by the sergeant major.

Danger!

Danger!

The 59-X's spotlight turret detected the intense light from the rocket launch, and the active interception system was activated.

The advanced independent two-dimensional active phased array radar and infrared electro-optical detection system on the active interception system scan incoming rockets. Once a threatening target is detected, it immediately switches to precise tracking and launches interceptor missiles to intercept them.

Boom!

The interceptor missile was launched, accurately hitting the rocket and intercepting it, causing colorful dye to explode in the air; at the same time, all 12 rockets inside the rocket pod were launched, completely dyeing the interior of the rocket launch building blue.

As the number of infantrymen around them increased, the AI ​​of 59-X determined that they posed a threat to the sergeant major. It moved closer to the sergeant major while activating the micro-missiles.

Click click click~

A strange sound rang out, and then pieces of the 59-X chocolate bar flew out one by one. Then, QN-202 missiles were launched, heading towards the infantry hiding behind bunkers or in rooms.

With muffled thuds, the dye covered the room and the area behind the bunker in a colorful mess, much like a child's scribbles. However, if it were live ammunition, the scene would be unsuitable for children.

After "taking care of" the surrounding infantry, the exercise moved into its final phase: anti-vehicle testing.

The roar of the engine filled the air, and the 59-X immediately detected the approaching vehicle.

A few seconds later, an eight-wheeled vehicle appeared at the end of the street, and 59-X immediately entered anti-vehicle mode.

The turret locks onto the eight wheels, and the HJ-12 anti-tank missile on the shoulder is powered on and enters launch mode.

At that moment, the eight 30mm rapid-fire cannons opened fire on the sergeant's direction. The AI ​​on the 59-X immediately detected the sergeant's danger and, according to the underlying protocol, protected the safety of the connector at the first opportunity.

Boom boom boom!

The 20mm rapid-fire cannons opened fire on the eight-wheeled vehicles, attempting to draw their attention, while simultaneously launching HJ-12 missiles.

After confirming the destruction of the eight-wheeled vehicle, another eight-wheeled vehicle appeared, its machine gun firing at the sergeant's bunker. The 59-X unhesitatingly stepped in front of the sergeant. A dye-based bomb exploded on the 59-X's new carbon nanotube composite armor, while another HJ-12 missile was fired, destroying the eight-wheeled vehicle.

The exercise has ended.

The sergeant stepped out from behind the bunker, looked at the 59-X covered in dye, and silently analyzed the 59-X's performance in the battle just now.

After the AI ​​performs the backup, the 59-X will be taken to target practice for damage testing, which is a necessary procedure.

The test aims to determine how much retaliatory capability a unit can retain after being attacked and damaged.

After saluting 59-X, the sergeant walked out of the exercise area.

Chapter 50 Gundam is utterly useless

Zhou Mingrui handed the letter to the truck driver.

"Thank you for your help."

The truck driver took the letter and put it away. He then drove along the dirt road toward the nearest town in the Kingdom of Bel, where the convoy would purchase the food needed by Shangqiu.

After discovering that local food was also edible, the portal's precious transport capacity was no longer used for food.

Anyway, ordinary farmers can grow crops in Mingruixing. They can make do with local food for a while and then eat rice after the autumn harvest... However, they still have some emergency food reserves.

Overall, both sides had a good impression of each other. The villagers in the kingdom were quite honest, and the rabbits didn't bully honest people... The two sides got along very well.

Recently, due to trade with Shangqiu, the town's economy has been booming. Some small vendors have made a fortune and instinctively expanded their shops and business scope, selling vegetables and fruits from the kingdom to the fair-sellers and generous Shangqiu people. A virtuous cycle is forming.

It is clear that this small town will soon become a super-sized "supermarket," and Shangqiu is planning to build a proper highway connecting the town.

"Brother Qiang, when will we be able to launch all our satellites?"

After watching the convoy disappear into the distance, Zhou Mingrui turned to ask, "Although this kind of letter-style communication is very ceremonial, I'm used to the real-time messaging of modern WeChat, and I always feel that sending letters is too slow."

"Just wait, it won't happen within six months. The experts are also anxious. Without BeiDou navigation and satellite communication, not only you, but even the military feels insecure..."

Launching a satellite isn't like launching a skyrocket—you can't just launch it whenever you want. If you don't understand the orbit of a satellite, it will fall back down. China isn't like India, which can just do whatever it wants; rockets can send you flying out of Brownian motion.

"Mm." Zhou Mingrui nodded.

He can only contact Ellie through letters, which feels a bit like passing notes back in school.

The letter she mailed recounted her experiences as a "community police officer," which deepened Zhou Mingrui's understanding of Klopp.

Each member of parliament and the forces they represent are deeply rooted in Krobel, sucking its nutrients like the most voracious bloodsuckers.

The rich can indulge in pleasures at will, frequenting all kinds of high-end venues and vacationing in health resorts... while the poor can only eke out a living in cheap rental rooms, selling their labor, eating black bread, and earning meager wages.

Ellie's grandfather is trying to change this situation, to make sure the poor can afford to eat and survive...

Just by hearing about Krober's current condition, Zhou Mingrui knew that the councilors and the speaker, as beneficiaries of the system, would do everything in their power to sabotage the mayor; the councilors, the speaker, and the forces behind them only wanted to devour him.

As he was thinking, Zhou Mingrui passed by the newly built prefabricated steel structure.

Through the two open gates, the "money-grabbing beast" that I had spent a lot of money to create stood on the ground, its antennae pointing to the sky, as if it were about to gallop across the land at any moment.

On the weapon rack next to it is a large assault gun with a 35mm caseless ammunition and drum magazine.

122mm recoilless rifle...

A composite attack shield system equipped with a triple-barreled 12.7mm machine gun...

As for melee weapons... don't be ridiculous, are you watching an anime? One impact and the joints are instantly destroyed.

Fully armed? It looks cool, but it's useless because no one has signed up to drive it... It just gathers dust in the warehouse.

Army logistics personnel felt dizzy and shook their heads just from seeing it... They preferred the Type 59-X and XT-02 Mountain Cat assault vehicles.

The former demonstrated impressive combat capabilities when used in conjunction with infantry in urban warfare. The modular configuration of the Type 59-X allows for plug-and-play use of mechanical legs and weapon modules, and weapon combinations can be customized according to operational requirements. A single Z-8 helicopter can carry the Type 59-X for rapid deployment on the battlefield.

The Lynx assault vehicle is easier to maintain and uses interchangeable parts with the existing Lynx all-terrain vehicle. It can easily pass through narrow terrains that tanks and eight-wheeled vehicles cannot pass through. The McLaren gives it flexible mobility, and more importantly, you won't feel bad if it gets destroyed.

The Navy is actually very interested in the high-speed, high-maneuverability fighter jet project that Star Ring is researching. If they could get it onto an aircraft carrier, and the wings could even be folded, that would be even better!

As for the Air Force...? They wouldn't even glance at it. Would they just send such a huge metal lump flying into the sky to be a target? Low-orbit spacecraft have caught their eye. If they could be smaller and more stealthy (radar stealth)... purchasing a few dozen wouldn't be out of the question; and they could even install a mechanical shearing device, the kind specifically for cutting satellite solar panels.

Ultimately, it was the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology that was very interested in it, on the condition that the operation mode be simplified, the leg joints be strengthened, and the arms be modified into multi-functional robotic arms that can perform heavy-duty handling and welding, serving as a smaller SCV.

It also has great potential for applications in fire rescue, by installing hydraulic shears, cranes, and other equipment on it.

Whenever Zhou Mingrui thought of red and white fire trucks, he would inexplicably think of export versions of fire rocket launchers, the tracked kind.

Well... the combat mechs we spent a fortune building ended up being quite popular in the civilian sector... humans really do love nuclear peace.

...................

The green Liberation convoy drove along the dirt road toward the kingdom's town. The driver looked at the green crops planted on both sides of the road, and some villagers were working in the fields.

Upon seeing the convoy, the soldiers took off their hats and waved them twice, and the soldiers immediately returned the salute to the farmers.

Soon, the convoy drove into the town's "trading area," a specially cleared open space where the town mayor had been waiting for some time.

When the convoy stopped, the village children immediately surrounded the soldiers, asking them for candy.

"Hahaha..." The mayor laughed heartily as he watched the children stuffing candy into their mouths. "...Sorry for the trouble."

At first, the townspeople were very resistant to these Shangqiu people. However, one day, a two-story building in the town collapsed due to years of disrepair, burying a family of six in the rubble. This left the inexperienced townspeople at a loss.

Without saying a word, these people from Shangqiu, dressed in green, picked up their tools and went to rescue the family of six. In less than 20 minutes, they had rescued the family of six.

Since then, these people from Shangqiu have been very popular in the town.

"It's alright, here's the list..." The convoy leader handed the purchase list to the town mayor.

Not far away, a little girl with purple hair and dressed in a gothic outfit was eating a candy while looking at the convoy.
