Otherworld Girl Development Guide

What is Mira? Mira is gold coin... That's right. As an element in the universe that is not the most stable but is still very stable, gold also exists on the planet Mingrui and has been chosen as its official currency.

The Mira is a gold-standard financial system, a monetary system based on gold as the standard currency, and also linked to energy and mineral resources. As the unified currency of the continent, the Mira is extremely stable, and its purchasing power is also quite astonishing.

Even more outrageous is that all Mira coins across the continent are minted to the same specifications, which is a great effort to avoid the bad driving out the good. Any individual or organization that counterfeits coins will be jointly sanctioned by the entire continent.

This native financial system has been operating stably for hundreds of years and is still used throughout the continent... It's very difficult to shake it with conventional means; "becoming dependent" on it is a wise choice.

If it were the United States, they would definitely try every means to destroy this stable financial system and establish a dollar hegemony, even if it means waging war. Then they would shift all the costs of the war onto the mainland and exploit it to their heart's content. At worst, they might carry out a high-tech genocide plan, like the extermination of Native Americans.

China is not the United States. China is preparing to integrate into this financial system. In the early stages of integration, it can only use gold. However, the Mira made of gold will only circulate as external currency, while the RMB will still be used internally. This will minimize the holding rate of Mira among the Chinese people, and concentrate all Mira capital in the hands of the state.

Furthermore, the Radiant Crystal, which serves as a source of energy, is the hard currency of the entire continent (oil + uranium). Coincidentally, the Kingdom of Bel is the largest producer of Radiant Crystals, and the Radiant Crystal mining industry is completely monopolized by the royal family. It's no wonder that the Rebonian Empire and the Republic of Calva covet the Kingdom of Bel.

We are also preparing to study this magical mineral that can generate conductivity, to find out exactly what it is and whether it is possible to integrate it into Earth's technology tree.

The rest were all minor details, but all the steps had a timeline set, specifying what to do when, and the plan was well-organized.

As the saying goes, a cold glint appears first, followed by a swift and powerful strike. A rabbit gives a subtle signal before getting down to business, and then starts working hard... By the time others realize something is wrong, it's too late.

When confronted with questions, the rabbit's most sassy response is, "I already said that... you just didn't notice, so don't blame me!"

The second floor of the villa.

In Black Rabbit's room, Bell closed her junior high textbook, a hint of disappointment in her amber eyes. This book was far too easy. Looking back at her high school textbook, she remembered Zhou Mingrui saying that it was quite difficult.

In Misi's room, Theo fiddled with the PAD in her hand. Like the bell, she had passed the Chinese exam. This PAD was a gift from Zhou Mingrui. Theo was very curious about how the PAD worked. If she understood its principles... then could Theo also control this machine according to her own wishes?

When it was 10 p.m., the two kittens walked into the bathroom on their own. (=￣ω￣=)?(=￣ω￣=).

The question flashed through my mind, and the daily conversations began in the NT chat room.

Goodnight, Tio...

"Goodnight, bell..."

"Yes, sister..."

"I refuse..."

Unfortunately, the two kittens failed to reach an agreement again.

After washing up, the two little girls returned to their respective rooms, placed their cat ear headbands on their bedside tables, snuggled into their warm blankets, and fell into a deep sleep.

A smile appeared on their lips simultaneously.

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

The sun rose as usual.

As the sun shines on this hopeful planet, a new day begins yet again.

An airship bearing the logos of China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom is undergoing final ground testing. Ground technicians are inspecting the airship's systems and structure to ensure there are no problems before it takes off.

Currently, communication satellites cannot be launched, so airships, which are inexpensive, have long loiter times, extremely low cost-effectiveness, and are easy to maintain, have come into view.

With the support of modern unmanned technology, such an airborne communication base station has been manufactured to temporarily replace communication satellites.

The streamlined airship is very beautiful. The TARPS pod and communication pod are integrated in a design that does not affect aerodynamics. New solar panels are distributed on the back of the airship, and there are two small wind turbines inside to ensure the airship's power supply.

The airship is buoyed by helium and powered by an electrically driven propeller, with a cruising speed of 80 kilometers per hour and a maximum speed of 100 kilometers per hour. The entire airship is completely unmanned and controlled by a ground base station, cruising along a predetermined route within the territory of Shangqiu.

Because the airship's buoyancy does not require power to maintain, the propulsion system only needs to operate at minimum power to ensure that the airship is not blown away. All electricity is provided to the TARPS pod and communication pod.

"Control station...control station...all normal operations on the Crossing-the-Loop 001..."

"Control station received, clearance for takeoff!"

"understand!"

Ground crew cut the charging cables for the airship's internal batteries and untied the cables securing the Yuejin 001 airship. The airship slowly rose into the air under buoyancy and drifted towards the high sky.

"001 vessel altitude 100, system normal..."

"001 submarine, elevation 1000, system normal..."

"001 submarine, elevation 10000, system normal..."

Half an hour later, the Yuejin 001 airship reached its designated cruising altitude. Sunlight shone on the photovoltaic panels on the back of the airship, and the high-altitude winds blew into the air intakes on both sides of the airship. The fan blades slowly rotated, driving the generator to cut magnetic field lines to generate electricity.

Electricity is supplied to various systems, and surplus electricity is poured into batteries to power communication base stations for nighttime operation.

"001 vessel has reached the designated altitude, system normal... communication pod is ready for power-on."

With the communication base station powered on, the signal immediately covered the entire Shangqiu area, and even the Kingdom Town, where transactions frequently take place, was included in the signal coverage area.

Chapter 86 The Wonders of Nature

"George, what are you doing here?!" A young man who looked to be in his twenties asked in surprise, looking at another young man carrying a gray bag.

“Of course I’m the same as you, Paige!” George straightened the cement bag on his shoulder and prepared to pull down the mask that was obstructing his breathing.

"Hey! George! Don't pull down your mask!" The safety officer wearing a yellow helmet on the other side immediately stopped George from taking off his mask.

"Hey hey hey!"

George chuckled awkwardly and quickly withdrew his hand, which was about to pull down his mask. Although he didn't quite understand why he had to wear this thin piece of cloth, nor did he know anything about inhalation hazards, the other party meant well. Besides, he was making money off people from Shangqiu, so he might as well do whatever they said.

Seeing that George no longer wanted to take off his mask, the safety officer looked at the other locally hired workers and felt a little helpless. These workers were simple and hardworking, but sometimes they were not "obedient" and always wanted to take off their masks. The air was full of cement, and not wearing a mask was bad for their lungs.

But they're much better than Indian workers! Speaking of Indian workers, the safety officer gets angry. Those workers are just too "peaceful," they can stretch a day's work into seven days' worth, and they're always talking nonsense. No wonder an aircraft carrier took over ten years to build before it was launched.

There were no arresting gears at the launch site, and all carrier-based aircraft were "disposable"...

"George, when did you arrive?"

"Haha, I just arrived yesterday. I was just bored, so I thought I'd come out and earn some money to help support my family. It's just selling some physical labor..." George patted his work clothes with his free hand: "...The pay here is fair, they even give us new clothes, and most importantly, we're well-fed!"

After saying that, George, carrying the cement, and Paige walked together toward the cement mixer in the distance. After placing the cement bag on the mixer, they quickly walked toward the transport truck and picked up another cement bag.

The local laborers can only do some simple manual labor, and the construction team accepts all comers. In order to meet the deadline, it is more cost-effective to hand over these simple manual labors to the locals.

"Lunch is ready!" a safety officer announced loudly over a megaphone.

Immediately, the local laborers who had finished moving the goods headed towards the construction site canteen. After being required to wash their hands by the safety personnel, they consciously picked up their trays and lined up to get their meals.

The lunches here are all made with locally sourced ingredients and are quite plentiful, with one meat dish and two vegetable dishes, and you can eat your fill.

George and Paige picked up the plates of braised pork, grabbed the water cups given to them by the construction team, and sat down in the shade to eat.

"Peppa, why are these people from Shangqiu so enthusiastic about building roads...?"

"I don't know. We're just selling our labor. Why should we care so much? As long as we make money, that's all that matters."

"I heard from Uncle Sam in the next village that this road leads all the way to Rice in the Kingdom..."

"Oh my god...it's so far!"

Les is a heavy industrial city in the Kingdom of Bell, and also the city with the most advanced orbal technology in the Kingdom of Bell!

Soon, after the two finished their meal, they placed their plates in a designated area, where farm women hired by nearby villages would quickly wash them.

Boom boom boom!

Several loud noises were heard, but the local migrant workers, unfazed, went about their business.

"The people from Shangqiu are playing with bombs again... Which mountain did they blow up this time? They can't possibly blow up that big mountain in front of us!"

Peppa remembers being terrified by the explosions at first, but after seeing so many, she wasn't surprised anymore. It's just an explosion, after all.

Soon, Paige and George felt the ground shaking, so they stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction from which the shaking was coming from.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

The safety officer, dressed in yellow, gestured for the local migrant workers who were watching the commotion to make way.

Before long, a giant "guide car" pulled a long cylindrical machine forward.

"My God, what is this? It's huge!" George's eyes widened. Compared to the pickaxes that the people of Shangqiu used, this was just a toothpick.

Under the astonished gazes of the local workers, the trailer pulling the tunnel boring machine drove towards the high mountain.

Earthen slopes can be cleared with explosives, but high mountains require tunnel boring machines to create openings.

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

On the nearby earthen slope, a group of technicians wearing blue hard hats were watching the construction site below. The chief engineer in charge of the road nodded in approval at the local workers' work attitude.

The biggest characteristic is that they don't take advantage of honest people. They work so hard, so they will definitely not shortchange honest people in terms of salary and benefits.

"Chief Engineer, we've now reached this point in the construction..." the supervisor said, pointing to the section on the blueprints.

The chief engineer took a look at the construction drawings and nodded. It was about 10% of the total length of the highway. Unfortunately, due to transportation capacity issues, it was not possible to carry out construction in both directions. The tunnel boring machine responsible for drilling the tunnel had only just arrived, and the amount of construction work was huge.

The road leading to Rice, a heavy industrial city in the Kingdom of Bell, is a highway with high requirements. It requires tunneling through mountains and building bridges over ditches, making the overall workload considerable. Even with the fastest speed and three shifts, it would take between one and a half to two years.

Next to the highway are dedicated railways for transporting goods and high-speed rail lines for transporting people.

This route has higher priority than the one leading to Rockbell. After all, the portal's capacity is limited. Once it connects to Rice, many materials can be purchased locally, freeing up capacity for more important things.

The road construction to Krobel will also stop 10 kilometers from the border... The rest is a diplomatic issue. Once the diplomatic issues are resolved, the road will be open to traffic.

"Chief Engineer, the space-based communication base station has been launched..."

The supervisor glanced at the message he received on his phone and said to the chief engineer.

"Hmm... the communication problem is finally solved. Send the data back here and let the logistics department coordinate the supplies."

The airborne base station was mainly prepared for the construction of this road. After leaving Shangqiu District, it will be out of the coverage area of ​​the ground base station. The airship will act as the main relay communication, so the airborne communication base station is required to be reliable.

"I really look forward to seeing the Bel Kingdom's royal family witness the true wonders of nature once the construction is complete!"

This road can be considered a model project for Shangqiu. Once it is open to traffic, will other countries be interested? And if they are interested, will they take action?

Once you take action, the money will naturally come, especially with the use of standard roads and railways.

Hehehe~ Those who know, know.

Chapter 87 Classic of Mountains and Seas (Revised Edition)

The magnetically levitated portal emitted a buzzing sound (audio) and various cool LED breathing lights, including breathing lights that were so bright they were blinding, literally blinding.

"This 'teleportation portal' is getting cooler and cooler..."

Zhou Mingrui sat in an inconspicuous machine, eating fruit and watching the immigrants walk out of the portal with a bored expression. This group of immigrants were mostly civil engineering students, as well as some railway academy students who were used to maintain the railway.
