Will the kemonomimi encounter Alien Ranch Story?

Two colossus armored vehicles sat quietly on the platform in a half-crouching position. The surface of the metal giants was painted with the blue and white police paint scheme representing the Guard Bureau, and the Guard Bureau's emblem was on the shoulder armor. The weapons that came with them were on the other two trailer racks, namely a spear and a sword and shield.

The only, and greatest, advantage of the machine giants is their striking appearance; when they move, they evoke a sense of awe, akin to facing a god. Other than that… they have no other advantages.

There is no mobility. Anyone who has ever trained to run knows that humanoid devices cannot have any mobility. The mobility that laymen imagine is actually a false proposition. Side jumps and the like seem wonderful, but they are actually useless.

Don't say that vehicles can't point their guns at you. The chassis can move sideways and left and right just the same. They have a faster start-up speed, more flexible acceleration, and their accuracy and stability are not affected by the impact and bumps of side jumps. They are much more agile at twisting S-curves than human legs.

It also lacks terrain clearance; generally speaking, whatever height your legs can step over, your tracks can also run over.

Moreover, without complex joints, and with greater impact resistance, it can even be rammed or pushed over with a bucket attached.

Urban warfare is practically a way to rack up kills for steel cables, high-voltage power lines, and anti-armor teams. The sound of footsteps and the earth-shaking effect are practically a warning to the anti-armor teams inside buildings and ruins—the big targets are coming.

However, the visual impact is a different story altogether. The metal giants come crashing down, their footsteps shaking the earth. Their towering figures obscure the view, as if ancient gods have stepped out of paintings and are charging at you, brandishing weapons.

For Terra, where melee weapons and crossbows are commonly used and engagements are relatively close, this is a significant advantage.

After all, once morale is breached and collapses, even if they have the full set of Covenant ground combat weapons, they will still be defeated.

However, that's about all it's good for. Not to mention the Star Alliance weapon systems that Lao Xia is used to, even a properly armed modern military wouldn't be affected much.

Because they will only notice an extremely conspicuous bright spot on the radar, then lock on and fire—the bloodless, tearless, and moraleless anti-tank missiles don't care about your image.

"The Atlas Armor comes in three types: Swordsman and Dragonman. The Swordsman type is cheaper at 1.5 million, while the Dragonman type is priced at 1.8 million because it uses our latest high-end technology (Talulah tissue culture) and rare materials (Frostnova's DNA). But please believe us, it's worth the price."

“It’s definitely worth the price—” Old Wei nodded, and the carefully selected Lungmen pilots were familiarizing themselves with the performance and weapons of the two mechs.

"It will be quite difficult to operate, so I suggest choosing a skilled high-level warlock. However, I don't think that's a problem, right?"

"Hmm—" Terra's large war machines all require warlocks to operate. It's perfectly normal for such large armors to need warlocks, so normal that Old Wei doesn't even think it's a flaw.

The dragon humanoid uses a spear, the tip of which can release dragon fire or cold air. It is a purely offensive unit. The temperature and output power of the cold and fire air can be adjusted, just like using powerful Originium Arts. It is even more flexible than Originium Arts because it only requires controlling the amount of pressure on the firing trigger on the control stick.

The swordsman type uses a large shield forged with hot-melt swords and the Flash Shield Alloy technology provided by the Shield Guard. Considering its thickness, it could probably withstand even the ballistae of the Ursus Citybreaker.

"Next, we will manufacture the Mirror model, which will be equipped with some new defensive and command technologies. If Commander Wei is interested, you are welcome to purchase it."

"Definitely, definitely!" It was a bit expensive, but Lao Wei felt it was worth it. It was like a high-level sorcerer with a body of steel casting spells at will on the battlefield.

The maintenance costs and expenses are a bit of a headache. However, considering the performance, he feels it's well worth it.

"Due to some well-known reasons, if you exchange Lungmen dollars for various minerals and processed raw materials, we can give you a 15% discount."

“No problem, the Great Yan is a vast and resourceful land, this is just a small matter…” Old Wei readily agreed. The other party would definitely make a profit. Maybe the price they quoted could be used to build two machines with the raw materials they took back. But that would be trouble for Ursus, wouldn’t it?

Moreover, this kind of thing is incredibly expensive, so he can't possibly buy many, and the demand from other countries isn't very high either.

Therefore, the other party must not be able to sell many, which is why they put this good product in a corner and focus all their efforts on promoting their mass-produced, cheap exoskeletons.

What Lao Wei didn't know was that the Ursus workers, under Lao Xia's remote technical guidance, had already started building proper high-power Originium engines and practicing manufacturing tracks. Some secretly recruited engineers with mobile town walking mechanism manufacturing technology were also being packaged up with Mr. Shesa.

Soon, they will be able to manufacture tracks, high-powered engines, servo motors, semi-automatic mechanical loading systems, Talulah firing tubes, and Originium-filled Dragonfire Bullets, as well as Originium cannons that fire Dragonfire Bullets, on the snowfield.

The cost of one Colossus Armor is enough for him to manufacture 5-7 such vehicles, and 5 such vehicles on the battlefield can theoretically unleash a barrage of dragonfire at the enemy at a rate of 2 shots per minute.

The only constraint they face is the limited activation time of bio-components like the Talulah firing tube, which results in a very short ammunition storage time, forcing them to manufacture and fire them on the spot.

Chapter Nineteen: Rabbit Air Conditioner, Powerful Cooling

Chapter 19

The steel that Master Ke made finally arrived. The moment Lao Xia got his hands on it, he went straight into the mechanical laboratory. He didn't come out until the day before the agreed engagement, with an expression as if he had successfully cultivated immortality. Behind him were parts that had been adjusted by the Great Tech Master and were made in accordance with the industrial manufacturing process standards of Terra. These parts were intended for armored units and vehicle-mounted weapons.

The 4.8-meter-long parallel steel rails are forged from a heterogeneous alloy. Each rail has a U-shaped structure with overlapping heterogeneous steel sheets inside the grooves. The processed D32 steel bars are embedded in the interlayer as tracks for transmitting Originium Arts.

Between the steel sheet and the track are synthetic jade contacts that provide Originium particles.

"what is this?"

"Originium Cannon Rails," Old Xia tapped on the enormous object.

"The way Master Ke operated the chain gave me an idea. I originally planned to launch a stream of Originium particles directly, but I found that the power was a bit low."

Although I can't determine its electron volt level without proper equipment, in terms of penetration, it can only penetrate less than eight centimeters of iron plate, and its lethality to organisms behind it is almost negligible—well, not counting inducing Oripathy.

"However, it can be used as a particle scalpel for specific surgeries on infected individuals. For example, it can be released into areas with excessive Originium accumulation to directly induce Originium particles to enter the final stage of proliferation, and then the crystallized flesh in that area can be removed to treat Oripathy." It's roughly similar to radiotherapy.

"Looking back, I discovered that Master Ke's metal material could drive the processed Originium parts. That's how his chain worked. I straightened his chain, turned it into a parallel track, and then used that method to launch kinetic energy projectiles."

"And its power?"

"I haven't tested it yet. I plan to sell this component back to China as an export. Back in the snowfield, Master Ke will help test its true weapon-grade power."

Old Xia simply managed to make the objects on the track move like an electromagnetic cannon; in essence, it's a kind of Originium Arts spell, or a super-enlarged version of GunPlus.

Moreover, it is obvious that etching bullets is much more troublesome than etching artillery shells. Although the principle is the same, the materials, processes and ideas used by Lao Xia are two different things. The difference is roughly like the difference between a firecracker and an intercontinental ballistic missile—the principle is the same, but the actual difference is huge.

"If we're talking about paper calculations..." Old Xia glanced at the white rabbit, omitting the long string of calculations in his mind, "The answer is Wa=Wz, the energy gained by the object is equal to the energy level of the Originium particles remaining in the orbit. From this, I can estimate the launch power under ideal conditions, that is, without considering air friction, Originium contact loss, the decrease in thermal conductivity of the heterogeneous steel, etc."

"If the launch were carried out according to the capabilities of the worker sorcerer tested previously, it would only have less than 1 MJ of energy. Considering the actual losses, it would probably only be a few thousand joules."

No wonder no one has considered the etching cannon issue; making it bigger not only didn't increase its energy but actually reduced its effectiveness. And why haven't Terra's firearms replaced melee weapons...?

"However, I didn't use the complete version. Some necessary parts are not available here, and I'm using regular synthetic jade contacts..."

After all, this kind of thing cannot be leaked. At present, it seems to be more like some kind of lifting and transportation device, which can make the slider move on the track at a moderate speed.

Compared to electromagnetic railguns, it could even move back and forth like a relay crane. Even the workers thought that Lao Xia was making some kind of sliding rail system, rather than a weapon.

"The next test needs to be completed in the snowfield. At that time, the contacts will be replaced with White Horse Alcohol two-patch RAM alloy composite contacts." White Horse Alcohol can store substances through solid-liquidation, mainly storing Originium particles, which is equivalent to the booster capacitor group of the electromagnetic gun.

"Then, by utilizing the transferability of D32 steel, the unused negative feedback Originium particles are transported forward from the rear track contact point to achieve a supersaturated state. This allows the ammunition to undergo progressively enhanced acceleration within it, which should result in a fairly high terminal velocity. The only problem is that this patch will become a consumable and can only be used a few times."

"You should have a solution by now, that solid-liquid relationship and dissipation problem..."

"Yes, negative feedback enhances the cold coil. I used the Boai condensate supercooling mode, which can absorb external heat energy and some waste heat to recharge Originium particles."

However, it mainly relies on the high-throughput particle flow transferred from the Originium Power Unit by the D32 steel. In this case, the heat generated by the D32 steel and RAM material is astonishing…”

"Waste energy is emitted in the form of Originium particles and waste particles. Therefore, there are pressure relief vents on both sides of the gun rail, which can spray out the alcohol compound gas that fixes the Originium particles. I have to say, the scene was quite beautiful."

Because of the Originium waste reaction, the emitted alcohol compounds will produce fluorescence after cooling, just like a large number of fireflies scattering from the surrounding area after firing a cannon - beautiful as it is, it is practically exposing yourself on the battlefield!

In particular, the muzzle does not produce smoke, but it produces a large number of high-energy Originium particles that are ejected forward. As they fall back into the low-energy state and release photons, they produce obvious light spots and light particle effects.

"After that, I will have Mr. Ke add a flexible tube inside to replenish the alcohol compound liquid while simultaneously transferring the hot and cold medium. I have designed a very beautiful mechanical, freely opening and closing deformable heat dissipation and recharging component..."

The entire orbit moves and changes rapidly and subtly, like the scales of a living organism, expelling exhaust gas and hot gas, and then cooling and recharging to the excited state.

It combines practicality with industrial aesthetics, although only tech-savvy guys like Mr. Ke can appreciate that aesthetic. Hopefully, he won't charge at it, because this thing is far more powerful than him when it does charge—literally, it can turn anything in front of its muzzle into mincemeat.

Therefore, Lao Xia didn't mention the high probability of people standing on the side getting Oripathy, because people standing on the side don't need to worry about this issue when firing at full power; they'll either break or get cooked.

"But how do you plan to fit all of that into the heat exchange, the process of heat energy being fed back into Originium particle energy, and the cooling unit? It would be too big."

Compared to the Originium Engine that I think is small and compact in Terra, Xia's thing is much bigger. Of course, its reliability and maximum power output are also much greater.

"Yes, so I put a biological cooling system inside. To put it simply, it uses you to cool down."

"Huh?" Rabbit was confused. What did it mean to use her to cool down? It sounded like stuffing her into a cannon.

"There's no way around it. The biggest problem with this system is the intense heat exchange during the charging and releasing of Originium. Without an efficient cooling system, it's almost impossible to recover Originium particles. I don't care about the energy itself, but the key issue is that the entire system relies on the interaction of Originium particle fields for firing. We can't just replace the entire rail patch after firing two shots, can we? Those things are high-precision products, and replacing them is extremely troublesome."

Artillery barrels are extremely precise objects, no matter where they are used. They cannot be used to ram walls, shoot people, or do anything else. If they are bent or misaligned, things will get very messy.

"Therefore, it is necessary to process the Originium and use alcohol as a means to transfer and fix the Originium particles. There is no need to replace the Originium contacts, but only to continuously replenish White Horse Alcohol and Originium Fuel."

“Ordinary cooling systems are inadequate for this task. After much thought, I realized that your Originium Arts are the most suitable. Therefore, I cloned a portion of your body tissue.”

"Wait, what body tissue did you talk about first? What part did you clone?!" After all, she's a girl, this kind of thing is too...

Well, she's not like Talulah, a real man or a tough guy, who can still show a smug expression of satisfaction at the fact that her abilities and body tissues are still useful when faced with Talulah tissue culture firing tubes.

"I cloned everything. To avoid having to replace it repeatedly like the Talulah tissue culture system, this time I made a long-term configuration that can be used for 3 to 5 years," Old Xia said matter-of-factly.

"The entire unit, including your 1.3% brain cells, mainly the cerebellum reflex area, and 7.9% spinal cord stem cells and spinal cord nerve cells used to transmit simple brain commands and maintain minimum life activities, is immersed in a liquid composed of 11% lymph, 60% blood, and 29% cerebrospinal fluid. The unit is equipped with oxygen decomposition machines and other equipment, and only needs to replenish complex consumable solvents such as sugars on a daily basis."

"My God!" White Rabbit covered her face; just thinking about that thing made her go crazy and lose her mind. So, feeling refreshed and clear-headed, White Rabbit punched Old Xia hard across the face.

[Look, the real Omega Kemonomimi Ranch you wanted isn't here—]

Then she saw something that dropped SAN even more than she had imagined. The bunch of grape-like growths in the workshop were already the most terrifying and twisted things she knew, but this White Rabbit brand cooling unit dropped SAN even more than she had thought.

To control the cooling power and power on/off, it is connected to the spinal nerve system of Originium Technologies. This technology comes from Dr. Kal'tsit's sharing of Rhodes Island's neural connection and neurotransmitter technology achievements.

One after another, Originium needles were plunged into a jar filled with amber-colored liquid, resembling centipedes coiled around it. The cables at their ends were connected to the operating system, and the contents of the jar... to be honest, if Lao Wei saw this, he would think Lao Xia was researching demons and developing a new internal security force.

The dense red biological structures grew into a net-like structure inside the jar, and then were guided towards the cooling box, turning into tentacles that could trigger the White Rabbit's cooling Originium Arts.

Although an outer layer of sealed white horse alcohol compound tubing was added, giving it a cyberpunk feel, it doesn't change the fact that this thing contains tentacles!

"Give me some respect for life!" The white rabbit angrily punched Old Xia to the ground and then ran away.

"What's wrong with this?" Old Xia scratched his head. The Star Alliance organ factory was even more expensive than this, not to mention tissue culture hematopoietic machines, which are common hospital equipment. What's wrong with this?

This is like how actions that were considered extremely rebellious and disrespectful to the natural order, as well as to the deceased, such as dissection, blood drawing, testing, blood transfusion, and even surgical removal, are commonplace in modern medicine. The difference in moral values ​​in this regard between different eras is enormous.

However, given Terra's traditional moral climate, the fact that the White Rabbit didn't immediately pull out a weapon to "slay the demons" already showed that she had been thoroughly impressed by things like Talulah's tissue culture fire tube.

While Lao Xia was busy comforting the "Mother of Rabbit Air Conditioning," the Imperial Guard was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.

After all, Swire is getting engaged, and they don't usually have any entertainment. It's a rare opportunity for the busy cops to have some fun.

Although engagement is not the same as marriage, it is relatively less formal, and you don't wear a proper wedding dress.

However, according to Victorian custom, the little tiger, dressed in a pure white gauze dress, with her honey-gold hair styled into a bun like a blooming flower, revealing her slender white neck and small, rounded shoulders, was still incredibly beautiful.

The lively and cheerful girl was now resting her chin on her hand, gazing out the window in a daze, which inexplicably added a touch of elegance and maturity to her demeanor. The police officers from the Royal Guard Bureau sighed, "Girls mature remarkably once they enter into marriage."

However, compared to Swire, the most outstanding beauty among the Guards today is actually Old Chen, who rarely changes out of her usual uniform and puts on her most gorgeous and beautiful little dress.

Her blue hair was tied into a single ponytail, and she wore a pair of light silver earrings. A pearl necklace accentuated her slender and graceful neck, and her figure, which was no less impressive than Swire's, was particularly prominent under the light blue antique-style dress.

With her long, flowing blue gauze skirt draped low, a light pink belt tied into a bow at her waist, and a string of jade rings adorning the end of the skirt, Old Chen, holding a round fan, seemed like a lady who had stepped out of an ancient painting from the Great Yan Dynasty, or perhaps a banished immortal who had fallen to earth.

Perhaps it was because it was rare for her to wear such classical Yan Kingdom attire, and she was preparing to attend a colleague's engagement banquet, that she wore a faint and slightly shy smile on her face, like a lotus flower with dew on its petals, hiding a touch of girlish shyness within her otherworldly and ethereal temperament.

As Sister Ta Zi's sister, when she dresses up carefully, Lao Chen does indeed have a beauty that starts at 1.5 feet.

If the contrast bonus is taken into account, it might reach the power of 2 stems. However... this breathtakingly beautiful scene, which even stunned Old Wei, lasted for less than a minute.

"What's wrong? Haven't any of you ever seen a beautiful woman before? Or is it that surprising that I'm wearing a skirt?" Her eyebrows furrowed, and she reverted to her previous Sima demeanor.

"Sigh—" Old Wei sighed. Why does someone with such heavenly beauty have to live like a man?

So why doesn't Hypergryph release a skin for Loli Chen with a high-waisted ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress)? If you can't draw expressions, then use a fan to partially cover her face, conveying a sense of feigned reluctance and shyness before her lips even part.
