Otherworld Girl Development Guide

After watching Mr. Jin and his entourage board the airship, which slowly ascended into the air, it marked the end of Shangqiu's informal visit to Krobel.

Once the airship was out of sight, Ellie took a deep breath, a spirited smile spreading across her face. She was off to continue helping the citizens of Clobell.

Inside the airship cabin, Mr. Jin, who was flipping through his notebook, felt his right foot touch a hard object. He closed the notebook and looked down at his feet.

There was an exquisite gift box placed unobtrusively at my feet, with a closed card stuck in it.

Mr. Jin picked up the card thoughtfully, opened it, and saw a greeting written in the common mainland Chinese language:

"To the guests who have come from afar..."

"...It is with great regret that I was unable to personally see Mr. Jin off at the airport due to official duties. I can only offer this small token of my apology as a token of my gratitude for not fulfilling my duty as host..."

"...Krobel is a beautiful city, full of business opportunities..."

"...Looking forward to our next meeting, your most trusted friend, Hart."

The card was signed by Hart, without any honorifics such as Speaker or Member of Parliament. In the lower right corner, a line of small print read: "When looking to the left, it is also good to look to the right."

Mr. Jin frowned slightly. It seemed that this Congressman Hart was not as simple as he appeared.

But this is also a typical black-and-white way of thinking... Is it only possible to choose one side to cooperate with?

As for the issue of taking sides, should one support Mayor Doyle or Councilor Hart?

Sorry... We don't interfere in other countries' internal affairs on this matter, and we won't comment on it. (What's it to me? I'm just here to do business.)

If we have enough patience to wait for the road to be built to Crobel, then our influence in Crobel will rise sharply. We can also build a civilian airport near Crobel within the Kingdom of Bel to transport urgent packages.

At that time, it will be: truly, right at your doorstep.

However, a large amount of Mirabena is needed to support this first, and it seems that China has already begun to take action quietly.

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

Another new dawn is breaking in the solar system! Soon! The light of hope will shine upon this land full of hope!

Here, you don't need to worry about not being able to afford food or a place to live... a private prison awaits you.

Here, you don't need to worry about what tomorrow will bring, because you may never see the sun rise.

The political center of the US.

President Trump is looking in the mirror and adjusting his signature curly hair to a perfect physical geometry.

During yesterday's White House open house, Trump's fans went wild. Some enthusiastic fans were so reluctant to leave that they were eventually politely asked to go by security guards. Before leaving, they took some souvenirs with them.

Trump's reaction was very much in line with his fans' wishes: "Let him take it, what are you going to do with him? It's all going to be reimbursed by Congress anyway, $8000 for a coffee cup, $3000 for a regular cup... the more the merrier."

After ensuring the curly hairstyle was completely fixed on the micro-light structure, Trump, with a stubborn expression on his face, straightened his red tie!

Bang!

The door to the president's office was suddenly pushed open, and a presidential aide strode quickly to Trump's desk with a serious expression on his face.

"My dear King, the United States is now facing a new challenge."

"Hmm?" Trump looked at his serious-looking staff and became nervous as well. He felt a dryness in his throat and pressed a red button on the table.

A moment later, a waiter placed a can of Coke with a straw on the table and winked at Trump before turning away.

Trump picked up a can of Coke, took a sip through the straw, and instantly the sweet taste filled his mouth. Trump felt a surge of pleasure.

Let artificially sweetened Coke go to hell! Even if a health consultant says Coke is bad for his health... what do health consultants know about Coke? Coke without sugar is soulless!

"Alright, now tell me what happened?... " Trump took a deep sip of his Coke and asked with a satisfied look, "...The husky is jumping around again? Or has India become the third largest economy in the world?"

“My Lord Trump… things are far more serious than this!” The aide took a deep breath and said gravely, “...the low-key, small-scale acquisition of precious metals is already making the Federal Reserve nervous.”

"Aren't you guys being a little too tense?" Trump took another sip of his Coke. Which country doesn't have adequate gold reserves? It's not like we're buying gold on a large scale.

"My Lord, this is no small matter; you must understand its significance!"

The staff felt that lately, he seemed to be all smiles, eating and drinking as usual, making big and small profits, and engaging in large-scale infrastructure projects... he was incredibly busy.

But behind all this, as a long-time adversary, the US feels something's off... it feels like they're hiding something...

The US's paranoia about having treacherous subjects plotting against them has reached its late stage. With a large amount of US dollars in hand, buying gold at this time would be tantamount to killing the US... Although it's only a small-scale purchase, the signal it sends has made the US very nervous.

To put it bluntly, if China were to launch a large-scale offensive... it would truly put the US on the hot seat.

"My dear King, I think we should figure out what the rabbit is up to."

The King nodded seriously, opened his office computer, entered the website address of the rabbit's official website, and pressed enter.

After selecting the English version, I searched intently and soon found something unusual in an inconspicuous corner: a short line of letters that, when translated, read:

In order to cope with the complex international situation, after careful consideration, I decided to buy some gold to calm my nerves.

Chapter 96 Electrothermal Chemical Gun

Zhou Mingrui was frying fish fillets of a local specialty fish. This fish not only has no fishy smell, but also has a natural sweetness, which the two kittens especially love to eat.

After frying the fish fillets until golden brown and placing them on a plate, put on oven mitts and take the homemade cheese bread that has just been baked in the oven out of the oven. Slice it and place it next to the fish fillets, then add some simple vegetable salad... and two simple breakfasts are ready.

After placing the breakfast on the table, Zhou Mingrui took off his apron and hung it on the special hook, then glanced at the calendar on the table.

It's been almost a year since I came to Mingruixing, and the Chinese New Year is just a month away. The whole of Shangqiu is already filled with a festive atmosphere.

On the second floor of the villa, two kittens were brushing their teeth with electric toothbrushes. Amidst the buzzing sound, Bell looked at herself and Tio in the mirror and realized that she seemed to have grown taller, a tiny bit taller than Tio... And so began their daily NT (Non-Telepathic) interaction.

(=￣ω￣=)?(=￣ω￣=)

"Tio, Bell seems to be taller than Tio, so Bell is the older sister..."

"No way! Tio's grown taller too, and he doesn't think he's shorter than Bell..."

The two little girls once again failed to reach a consensus on the question of "who is older and who is younger"... What a pity.

Bell and Theo sat in their chairs, picked up their cutlery but didn't start eating. Instead, they looked at Zhou Mingrui, who was standing at the door, seemingly preparing to leave.

Stare at X2!

Two pairs of amber eyes stared at him, and Zhou Mingrui immediately understood what they meant: Aren't you going to have dinner with us?

"An important guest is coming to visit today, and I need to be responsible for receiving them... I'll come back tonight and have dinner with you all."

After saying that, Zhou Mingrui opened the door, waved to the two kittens, and walked out of the villa.

After watching Zhou Mingrui leave the room, the two kittens ate their breakfast. After finishing their breakfast, they put their plates in the sink, put on their new school uniforms, and carried their schoolbags to the bus stop leading to the school.

...........

*Snap!* Zhou Mingrui snapped his fingers, and the portal slowly opened. First, a car bearing the logo of the Central Propaganda Department passed through the portal, followed by a truck carrying supplies.

After exchanging supplies with the Rabbit, the team drove past a huge flatbed truck. On the flatbed truck was an unremarkable main battle tank that looked very much like the Type 99A, except that the tank's gun barrel was covered with a snakeskin bag.

"Ok?"

This tank looks impressive, but what's the Central Propaganda Department doing here?

"Brother Qiang, is the Central Propaganda Department coming to film a promotional video?" Zhou Mingrui asked half-jokingly.

"They are not from the Central Propaganda Department, but comrades from the Strategic Deception Bureau stationed at the Central Propaganda Department," Shi Qiang said seriously.

Good heavens... If you're talking about the Strategic Deception Bureau, Zhou Mingrui sees right through it; this is clearly a strategic deception operation.

Take some misleading photos here, and then "accidentally" post them online. The netizens will spread them from one to hundreds, then hundreds to hundreds of thousands, and the news will spread at a terrifying speed. Sooner or later, the US will see them, so as to achieve the strategic goal of deceiving the US.

As you can see, with just a few words from the General, the US military was completely fooled (F-22)... But what is there to film in Shangqiu?

With a creak and a thud, the cart slowly came to a stop, and the portal slowly closed, entering CD mode.

The car door opened, and a big shot stepped off the cart. A deputy quickly went to the big shot's side and handed him the list.

The leader glanced at the list, confirmed it was correct, signed his name, then boarded the flatbed truck and headed towards the firing range.

Zhou Mingrui recognized the big shot "Magneto" at a glance... No way? This big shot is here too? Does that mean...?

"Brother Qiang, can we go take a look?" Zhou Mingrui asked expectantly.

"Okay, get in the car."

Zhou Mingrui sat in the Dongfeng Warrior and followed behind the flatbed truck. The guards accompanying the team frowned, but after consulting their superiors, they pretended not to see it. The other party had a higher level of security than them... so why ask?

After the flatbed truck slowly drove into the firing range, the Dongfeng Warrior stopped 100 meters away.

"Why don't you go over and take a closer look?" Shi Qiang asked softly.

"No, this is fine. There's no difference between using binoculars and looking up close."

Zhou Mingrui, being quite sensible, didn't get out of the car, but instead used binoculars to observe the main battle tanks on the flatbed truck from inside.

It's classified, so be it. It's good enough that you came along to take a look. If you actually get out of the car and ask all sorts of questions... that's just being too self-important.

First, Zhou Mingrui almost instinctively started counting the road wheels: 1...3...6...7, seven pairs of road wheels? Is it a newly developed chassis...or is it a next-generation chassis that was pre-developed long ago?

"Brother Qiang, what model of main battle tank is this?"

"It's not finalized yet; the development code is Project 206..."

The bridge behind the flatbed truck was laid on the ground, and the new main battle tanks drove off the flatbed truck.

The crew members then quickly stepped forward and removed the snakeskin cover from the gun barrel, revealing a somewhat peculiar tube. However, Zhou Mingrui noticed something different about this gun barrel.

"Electrothermal-chemical cannon?"

"Correct."

An electrothermal chemical gun consists of a power source, a pulse shaping network, a plasma generator, a combustion chamber, the gun barrel, and its carriage, etc.

The gun barrel and carriage structure are similar to those of traditional artillery, but the breech and breech firing mechanism are different. The power supply electrodes and insulation components must meet the special requirements of withstanding high voltage and strong current.

This is also due to the discovery of superconductors, which solved a large part of the problem.

When the switch is closed, the strong pulse current output by the high-power pulse power supply G is regulated by the pulse shaping network to make it a pulse high voltage with a waveform that meets the requirements of the internal ballistic optimization design, and then applied to the electrodes at both ends of the capillary discharge tube of the plasma generator to discharge it.

The discharge current heats the working fluid inside the capillary tube, ionizing the working fluid to generate high-temperature, high-pressure plasma, which is then injected into the combustion chamber at high speed. This ignites the gas generated by the combustion of the propellant, which, together with the plasma, propels the projectile, giving the artillery a high initial velocity.

Although the electrothermal-chemical gun has broken through the engineering speed limit of artillery, from the perspective of the development trend of kinetic energy weapons, it is still a transitional weapon in the development of electromagnetic launch weapons towards electromagnetic guns.

As for why electromagnetic guns weren't used directly, Zhou Mingrui believes it's because the energy system for new combat tanks hasn't been fully developed. After all, main battle tanks don't have the same amount of space as warships to carry generator sets.

Whether it's 59-X or his unicorn, the batteries they use are all produced in the laboratory. Before the problem of industrial production of new batteries is solved, they can only use electrothermal chemical cannons as a temporary solution.
