Otherworld Girl Development Guide

The new assault rifle will abandon the traditional firing pin-fired bullet mode and instead adopt the same electrothermal firing mode as the new electrothermal chemical cannon. It can be seen as a super-miniature 125mm electrothermal chemical cannon, a youth version.

The propellant at the end of the cartridge caseless section is activated by a rectangular superconducting battery located above the stock. The propellant then expands into a high-speed plasma, propelling the projectile forward.

The problems of barrel burning and heat dissipation that existed with caseless ammunition have been solved by using crystalline heat insulation materials. The most troublesome problem is that the excessive barrel temperature causes the caseless ammunition to spontaneously combust.

In the rabbit's design, this portion of heat is recovered and reused, further increasing the muzzle velocity of the bullet.

A sergeant major, dressed in a general combat uniform with added armor, held an advanced assault rifle. The dark red visor on his helmet made Zhou Mingrui feel so cool that his scalp tingled. He then clicked his tongue, and a strong sense of eagleness wafted over him.

Honestly, if you wore this outfit out, 99% of people would think it was American gear... It's said that the latest camouflage style and color of the Chinese are almost the same as the American ones, and with the veil, it's impossible to tell whether it's the Chinese or the American underneath.

"Test firing begins!"

Click! The 60 cylindrical 5.8mm caseless bullets, pressed together, were inserted into the advanced assault rifle. Because it was not fired by a firing pin, there was no need to pull the bolt, thus avoiding the tragedy of the MP5 where the bolt broke due to excessive force.

With the safety disengaged, the electrothermal firing superconducting circuit on the stock is activated. It's worth mentioning that the only advantage of electrothermal firing is that it prevents accidental discharge.

The art style in Chapter 36 is getting weirder and weirder.

The electrically activated rifle... Zhou Mingrui seemed to hear a demonic whisper in his ear: "The capacitor is out of power..."

However, it's unlikely that a rabbit would make such a basic mistake. Current electrothermal chemical guns don't consume much electricity and have reliable supporting systems.

The superconducting battery is connected to the Rabbit individual combat system, and the battery level can be viewed in the helmet. If the battery is low, it will emit a buzzing warning, and you only need to replace it with a new battery... As for the waterproof issue, isn't waterproofing a basic requirement for rifle batteries?

Some designers are even considering more convenient battery charging methods, such as throwing them into a fire for thermal charging, or connecting them to the rabbit's individual soldier system for wireless charging, and so on.

Only after thoroughly understanding and maturing the energy system can we consider more advanced individual electromagnetic rifles, since those are far more power-intensive than electrothermal-chemical rifles!

The universal laser pod for testing is currently under development and will be tested on main fighter jets such as the J-10 and J-16.

In addition, if the photonic components made from fractal silicon pass the test, it is not impossible to develop a reliable laser rifle. After all, the biggest advantage of laser weapons is that they only need electricity. As long as there is electricity, they can fight. The absence of physical ammunition will greatly reduce the pressure on the logistics department.

Whether it's laser rifles or individual electromagnetic rifles, China is already conducting systematic research. They can only be deployed on a large scale after the energy system is reliable. Until then, electrothermal chemical guns will fill this gap.

Soon, humanoid targets were prepared. These targets were made of silicone that mimicked skin on the outside and filled with gel that simulated human muscles and composite material that mimicked bones on the inside.

The sergeant raised his advanced assault rifle, aimed at the target 200 meters away, and the laser rangefinder of the advanced assault rifle transmitted the distance to the helmet of the general combat uniform. Then, the electronic aiming system displayed the trajectory in the helmet.

"One test shot, get ready!" The commander raised the red flag in his hand.

In the combat rifle's optical sensor, it was as if an eight-times scope had been opened, and the humanoid target appeared right in front of him. The follow-up shot locked onto the humanoid target's chest cavity.

Real combat is not a game or a movie; headshots every time are just a dream.

In combat, the enemy's head has a very small impact area and moves erratically, making the hit rate quite poor. Compared to the head, the torso has a much higher hit rate.

As the commander waved the red flag in his hand.

The sergeant pulled the trigger, and the superconducting battery released current to the electrical excitation device. The propellant was electrically excited and quickly burned into expanding gas.

With the crystal insulation, the rapidly burning airflow directs all the heat energy toward the barrel, and the 5.8mm roundless bullet, designed like a caseless bullet, is propelled out of the barrel at Mach 4.5 by the expanding airflow.

The moment a 6g bullet hits a humanoid target, the shockwave from the bullet itself tears through the skin and bones. After being resisted by the bulletproof vest/artificial scales, the pre-made shrapnel shatters into eight pieces, each fragment penetrating the target like a sharp sword.

The moment it pierces the target, static equilibrium is disrupted; it tumbles, churns, tears...

The front only had a small hole, but the back of the entire human-shaped target exploded, with some holes connecting together. You can imagine what the effect would be if it hit a person.

"hiss..."

Looking at the footage captured by the high-speed camera, Zhou Mingrui couldn't help but shudder. The bullets exploded instantly upon hitting someone, literally.

"Next shot, implosion bomb ready!" The commander raised the red flag again.

Click, the sergeant switched the firing mode to the additional shotgun module.

"Implosion bomb?" Zhou Mingrui turned to look at Shi Qiang.

"The new rifles are mainly designed to deal with fishmen and the cult, who are not human."

Zhou Mingrui nodded, indicating that he understood... The 5.8mm bullets from the Type 95 rifle were sometimes not very effective against fishmen.

Modern weapons are designed to target their own kind; the human body is too fragile to be used with such power, and it would also raise disgusting issues of double standards and morality.

Whether or not they secretly abide by the rules, they should at least show some humanity on the surface, like that certain American...

Now, in the abyss of Mingrui Star, the Xirang Base is facing fish-men and sea beasts who are not human, while Shangqiu is mainly dealing with the cult that the rabbits consider not human. So, the moral issue of humanity can be put aside.

Bullets are being developed with high lethality, capable of killing you with a single shot, rather than requiring two shots to eliminate the target.

"An implosion bomb, with a warhead inside," Shi Qiang said softly.

Zhou Mingrui smirked, as if he had caught a glimpse of a weapon.

The commander waved the red flag again, and the 18.4mm smoothbore gun mounted under the barrel of the advanced assault rifle fired.

A gunshot rang out, sounding like a shotgun blast.

A 18.4mm slug shot was fired into the barrel and aimed at another humanoid target.

The slug has a built-in impact fuse. When it hits the slug target, the impact fuse is activated. The moment the bullet enters the target, the detonator activates the high-explosive warhead of the bullet.

High-explosive warheads don't contain much explosive, but an explosion inside the body is a completely different concept from an explosion outside the body. The energy released by an explosion inside the body will be completely transferred to the body. Imagine the power of a firecracker being put in your mouth and lit.

With a bang, the target's chest shattered, and the shattered ballistic gel scattered out, creating a trumpet-shaped wound. The target's chest was covered in a trumpet-shaped wound!

"Third shot, airburst bomb ready!"

The commander raised the red flag for the third time, and the sergeant replaced the 18.4mm external smoothbore gun under the advanced assault rifle with a 30mm external grenade launcher, and then raised the muzzle.

Electronic aiming quickly calculates the trajectory of the grenade and displays it in real time in the helmet, eliminating the need for complicated aiming steps.

With the red flag waving, a 30mm airburst grenade was launched with a thud, flying towards several humanoid targets behind the bunker.

Airburst rounds are designed for enemies hiding behind cover; they are incredibly useful when used by enemies behind cover.

The airburst grenade flew rapidly towards the top of the bunker. The moment it passed the bunker, the electronic fuse of the 30mm airburst grenade was activated, and the grenade exploded with a loud bang.

The pre-embedded fragments and internal steel balls on the grenade scattered in all directions, and the humanoid target hiding behind the cover was instantly riddled with holes by the densely packed small tungsten steel balls.

Chapter 37 History Always Repeats Itself

Advanced assault rifles will continue to undergo testing in various battlefield environments and harsh weather conditions. It is estimated that they will be difficult to catch the eye of the Chinese army without three to five years of testing.

However, small-scale testing and deployment are still possible, for example, with sergeants...

The rabbit's rapid reaction force is armed with advanced assault rifles and wears general combat uniforms with bulletproof plates. The brainwave connection device in the helmet is connected to the Type 59-X behind them, allowing them to issue combat commands directly to the Type 59-X via brainwaves.

Tsk... The rabbit has already transcended the PowerPoint presentations of the US and is moving towards the sci-fi movies of the US. When the sixth-generation fighter jet comes out, it will have completely entered the sci-fi movies of the US.

Another new day begins.

In the kitchen on the first floor of the villa, Zhou Mingrui, wearing a cartoon apron, was busy preparing breakfast for the two kittens.

Zhou Mingrui sighed. His two cats had already earned a doctoral degree... which made him feel like an idiot. The gap between people was just too big. They were even starting to talk about things that Zhou Mingrui could no longer understand.

Zhou Mingrui was also a modern young man with dreams. He had studied quantum mechanics and researched the quantum double-slit experiment... but then he had to accept the cruel reality that humans have limits!

Quantum mechanics is not something that ordinary people can access. Even if someone has the ability to teleport, they are still just a mortal, and there are some things they simply cannot learn.

With a sizzling sound of oil hitting raw meat, Zhou Mingrui stared intently at the golden-brown pork chops frying in the pan, turning them over and over, the aroma filling the air.

The meat chops are made from a type of animal from the kingdom, which is plump, juicy, and tastes good. Most importantly, it is highly productive.

These carnivorous animals have entered breeding farms in Shangqiu. Through scientific selection, high-quality males were quickly chosen, and the remaining males were all castrated. The process is guaranteed to make every man who sees it feel a pang of pain in his testicles.

After being raised in Shangqiu, these carnivorous beasts soon spread to towns in several kingdoms surrounding Shangqiu.

Modern breeding farms have been established one after another. All of the kingdom's breeding farms have Shangqiu technology as an investment, and the products are strictly controlled. At present, the meat has been supplied to Shangqiu City and is gradually entering people's daily lives.

Place the seared steaks on a plate, then pour the black pepper sauce that's been simmering on another stove over them.

The rich aroma of the black pepper sauce mingled with the fragrance of the pork chops, making Zhou Mingrui feel a little hungry...

Take out some seasonal fruits from the kingdom, cut them up and place them on a plate, squeeze on some salad dressing, and a simple fruit salad is ready.

Ding~ The toaster beeped. Zhou Mingrui took out the toasted buttered bread, cut it into small pieces, placed it on a plate, and served it on the table along with the meat patties and fruit salad.

The flour used to make the toast is also sourced entirely from a farm project jointly operated by the rabbit and the Kingdom of Bell. The high-yield wheat cultivated by the rabbit has had a profound impact on the kingdom's farmers, who have never known that wheat could be so highly productive!

As the main force of the transporters, Zhou Mingrui was pleasantly surprised to find that Shangqiu no longer needed to transport its food from Earth, achieving complete self-sufficiency. Even its fuel was self-sufficient, and occasionally some oils that needed strategic reserves, such as high-quality aviation kerosene, could be transported back to Earth.

All the capacity of the portal was allocated to various rare and precious minerals. Mingrui Star finally started to achieve a virtuous cycle and began to give back to Earth. The investment was paying off. How sweet!

Even if Mingrui Star is a Chinese alien colony, after more than a year of construction, the infrastructure in Shangqiu, such as power supply, tap water, roads, transportation, and medical care, has gradually met the minimum needs. As for fully meeting the planned targets... don't even think about it for less than ten years.

Building a city from scratch is no simple task, especially since Shangqiu's design standards are based on a future metropolis with a population of tens of millions.

As farms, mines, and various heavy industrial facilities gradually expand and the industrial chain takes shape, some high-tech products will roll off the production line, further enhancing the benefits given back to the Earth.

Once Krobel's chip factory is completed and the most important chip technology is mastered, China will no longer be held back by anyone!

China is not like Japan or India, countries that have been emasculated or lack complete industrial support.

As for the issue of supporting facilities, on Earth, China has no choice but to manufacture them since it can't buy them... But on Mingrui Star, while ensuring the integrity of its own industrial chain, China can learn from the US and achieve "global supporting facilities"!

The rabbit only needs to master the core technology, and the rest of the "dirty work" can be handled by partner companies in the kingdom or other countries. In any case, even if the parts are produced using the power-guided technology, as long as the quality is up to standard and they pass the inspection, they can still be used.

With the alien colony of Mingrui Star, China has the confidence to overturn the table and remain invincible. It is said that recently China has stopped using the word "please" when speaking.

Despite the US's constant boasting, they're actually quite fearful now.

Rabbit: Let's see who dares to raise their voice at me now!

After preparing breakfast, Zhou Mingrui took off his apron and hung it on a hook in the kitchen. He then took out the juice produced in Chenxi Town, poured it into a glass, and sat on a chair to wait for the two kittens to come downstairs for breakfast.

After taking a sip of freshly squeezed juice, which was similar to orange juice and full of vitamin C, Zhou Mingrui picked up the newspaper in his hand. Since the internet had not yet been established, the only way to learn about the latest current events on the mainland was through the official newspaper.

Zhou Mingrui nearly spat out his juice after glancing at the headline on the front page.

The front-page headline was written by journalist Kalva: "Why is Shangqiu so clean!"

The article records the observations and experiences of a Kalva journalist from the Kingdom during his month-long stay in Shangqiu, and writes extensively about Shangqiu.

The reporter described in detail how fulfilling a day is for the people of Shangqiu, how clean the food is, and even how sweet the air smells.

On one hand, they praise the high quality of Shangqiu residents, the cleanliness of the streets, the convenience of transportation, the freedom of life, the high efficiency of administration, and the integrity of the government; on the other hand, they criticize the bloated parliament of the Republic of Kalva, the dilapidated roads, the incompetence of government agencies, and the corruption and inaction of tax authorities...

There was a familiar feeling between the lines... Looking at it, Zhou Mingrui felt a little uncomfortable.

Seemingly to increase the credibility of their statement, the reporter also included several sets of photos for comparison. The photos of Shangqiu were unusually bright, while the photos of cities in the Republic of Kalva had been filtered with a dark, eerie effect – typical BBC style.
