The stars, but they become the gray wind

But now, the two selves from different time nodes are completely identical time clones at the level of elementary particles. Although the memories of both parties will have a little deviation due to the relationship between different time nodes, it is undeniable that being able to stick to the past self or the future self is still quite wonderful.

If this kind of thing happened on Earth or in other civilizations, there would definitely be a debate about whether the individuals cloned from other time nodes are the original selves. However, for the Sky Star people, their self an hour ago and their self an hour later are essentially the same person. There is no need to debate this. You cannot say that the person a year ago and the person a year later are not the same person. The time cloning effect produced by the closed timelike curve allows the Sky Star people to use the time bridge to pull an identical self from other time nodes whenever necessary. They can even use the wormhole time bridge to perform some very outrageous operations, such as creating piles of time bridges connected to different time nodes such as one second, one minute, one hour, one day, one week, one month... The impulse time bridge at the point allows all selves at different time nodes to return to the present time point. Therefore, you will see such a unique phenomenon in the Sky Star civilization. A large number of individuals who are exactly the same person by definition are walking on the street at the same time, and these individuals are essentially the same individual in different time nodes. These individuals are very likely to be the same person from the past, future, and present. Although this was not impossible to do in the past Sky Star by activating multiple backup bodies, this is different from the way of existence of uploading and dispersing consciousness into different bodies. The closed time-like curve computer and time bridge have truly achieved perfect time cloning, allowing a person to have countless copies of himself that are exactly the same from the information level definition.

The people of Sky Star actually like this situation very much. Having several, or even dozens of identical selves from different time points makes it more convenient for them to do certain things in many aspects. For example, Anna's current thing is to stick with her past self, or go out to flirt with girls with her past self. Anna and her past self have even developed to the point where they can be frank and intimate with each other without any scruples. When Elena, as her younger sister, is still asking two or multiple clones of herself to help share certain things, Anna has already stuck to her past self on a physical level without any scruples.

Of course, Anna and Elena are not the only sisters who have multiple time clones. Yuuki, Calisi and others also have time clones of their present selves from multiple time nodes in the past. For example, Renlong is now talking with multiple versions of himself from the past few years on the Ultimatum.

"The time cloning phenomenon produced by the Time Bridge is really unique, right? Me?" said a Renlong from the version two years ago.

"I feel like there's something a little weird about seeing so many of me walking around on the boat," said another Renlong from the seven-year-old version.

"Essentially, we're all one person. We're just the same individual, the same object, or the same information in different states at different points in time. Just like every cell in your body is completely renewed every few months, you can't say you're not yourself a few months from now, right?"

"How did this become a problem with the Ship of Theseus again?"

"Anyway, the essence of our existence is elementary particles and information. The time cloning phenomenon produced by the Time Bridge is essentially nothing more than a perfect replication of quantum bit information."

A time machine manipulates space and time to move in the opposite direction of the time arrow, cloning objects and information to create a perfect copy. These copies created by the time cloning phenomenon will accurately reproduce every quantum bit. From all aspects, the created time clone is the same as the original object.

"Macroscopic closed time-like curve computers and wormhole time bridges can accurately replicate any object moving on the timeline, including all its quantum details." said Renlong, another person present who was from the version a month ago.

"From the moment we broke the threshold of the speed of light, it has been inevitable. This does not mean that superluminal speed is not allowed, but superluminal speed will inevitably lead to this state. For other civilizations in this universe, they cannot observe the inversion of space-time causality or even the disappearance of the phenomenon caused by the naked singularity. Naturally, they cannot use naked singularities to obtain true superluminal negative energy flow or negative mass exotic matter. The navigation speed of the entire civilization can only be limited to below the speed of light." said Renlong from the version three years ago.

"Okay, okay, I'm not so dull that I need the self from three years ago to explain science to my current self." The current Renlong gestured to his different selves from different time points to be quiet.

"Speaking of which, what about the others on our ship? Don't Yuki, Xixi, and Luoying all have at least one other version of themselves from another time? I saw them on the ship earlier. Where are they?"

"As for Kaleese...we recently discovered several brown dwarfs of suitable mass in a star system at the center of the Milky Way. The two brown dwarfs from Kaleese's past, five years ago and ten years ago, have both gone to that star system."

"Why is she going there?"

"That galaxy is a binary star system, with six brown dwarfs orbiting two central stars, as well as a larger number of rocky solid objects. She plans to ignite all six brown dwarfs, transforming them into true stars, creating a stable and extremely rare octet star system."

"Can such complex celestial orbits really exist stably for a long time?"

"Technically, there's no problem. It's just a matter of modifying the relative distances of the stars and the gravitational disturbances on the surroundings. Using artificial means, it shouldn't be a problem to keep an eight-star system like this stable over billions of years."

"Is she trying to inspire herself to learn from those sisters who are into nude art?"

"It's true. Now, in that strange binary star system, in addition to the two Kaleesi from different time points, there are also several sisters from the House of Celestial Art."

"They intend to transform this eight-star system into a work of art that will reveal at first glance that it is an artificial galaxy. It is almost impossible for such an eight-star system to maintain long-term stable operation under natural conditions."

"They want any third-party civilization capable of observing such a celestial system to be able to tell at first glance that such a celestial system is artificially created."

"Why do I feel like I'm following the same idea as those sisters in the Large Magellanic Cloud who are planning to broadcast a public screen typecast to the entire universe by arranging stars?"

"By rewriting the arrangement of the stars in the entire universe, you are declaring your own existence to the entire universe? I think this behavior is quite romantic." Renlong from the version a year ago muttered.

"Rather than being romantic, it's more like a reckless display of one's existence and technological prowess to the entire universe. Demonstrating to any third civilization that can observe this area the ability to alter the alignment of the stars?"

"I don't think this is arrogant. There are only a handful of civilizations in the universe that have reached this stage. If there truly is a civilization that, millions or even tens of millions of years from now, can detect the signals we are sending to the entire universe by altering the stellar arrangement, and then independently travel to and reach our galaxy, then such a civilization would undoubtedly be among the most advanced in the entire universe."

"For civilizations capable of traveling at speeds exceedingly close to the speed of light, reaching our Milky Way from tens of millions of light-years away would only take a few months to a few years, given the time reference frame of a ship traveling at speeds exceeding that of light. If they could truly reach this point on their own, we wouldn't mind sharing with them our wormhole superluminal transportation network, which connects every corner of the universe. This would allow them to enter an era where they can traverse vast distances between star systems at speeds and efficiency greater than that of light."

"But the question is... if a civilization were to observe the information we're sending by altering the stellar alignment and have the ability to come here... would they really dare to come?"

"Or more accurately, knowing that there's a civilization here that's advanced and powerful enough to alter the galactic arrangement of stars, wouldn't that scare any civilizations that observe this phenomenon? Would they be so scared that they wouldn't dare even come to our galaxy?"

"Uh... it seems... that this is indeed possible?" The Renlongs present from different time points fell silent all of a sudden.

"By the way, what time did you come to see me?" One of the Renlongs asked the Renlong who asked the question that everyone inadvertently ignored.

"Me? I am myself five days from now. Three hours ago, the present me opened a wormhole time bridge leading to five days from now. I came here from that point in time."

"I see...it's my future self? No wonder you raised this question that both my present and past selves accidentally overlooked." The present Renlong walked up and happily patted the shoulder of his future self five days later.

"There's no need for that. We're essentially the same person anyway. You, or I, only realized this issue, which I had overlooked at the time, two nights after this discussion. As my future self five days later, isn't it normal for me to be quite prescient?"

"Oh, and I know what you're going to ask next. Yuki's time clone from ten years ago went to the Fortuna galaxy, where the Tianyan Star Ring is, with Aze from ten years ago. As for Luoying and her three-year-old self? At this point in time... it seems... she's being molested and sexually harassed by Anna?"

“Ah???” All the Renlong present, whether they were the present or past versions of Renlong, were stunned.

"That Anna told me this three days later. She was quite proud of herself at the time, claiming she was just one step away from devouring that unfortunate kid Luoying."

"Ah... this..." The people present from different time points all made speechless sounds and expressions at the same time.

At the same time, in a place of enjoyment on Sky Star that Anna often visited, two Luoyings from different time points covered their chests with blushing faces. Now they were both wearing extremely revealing exotic dancer costumes that could even be called erotic lingerie. Their backs, chests, thighs, and large areas of white skin were exposed. But if they were just wearing revealing and shameful erotic costumes, it would be fine. What really made the two Luoyings find it difficult to accept was that in the room they were in, there was a large group of female guests and sisters from various branches of Sky Star with their own characteristics sitting around them, and they were all staring at their bodies with extremely lustful and aggressive eyes. Among them were some restless cat-eared ladies and girls, as well as a certain blonde lustful elf Anna, and several cat-eared ladies and elf girls who were sitting closest to the two Luoyings. She stretched out her hand as if nothing had happened and started to take advantage of Luoying in public, touching her thighs, chest and back. Our unfortunate Miss Luoying could only turn her head away and silently endure the little "punishment" and onlookers from Anna and a group of beautiful sisters around her who were eyeing her and trying to touch her.

"You... don't come over here!" Luoying, whose shoulders were being held tightly by Anna and another cat-eared girl, let out a scream.

"Dear sister Luoying, don't worry, we are all girls, it doesn't matter what happens." Anna gently picked up the soft blue hair on Luoying's head and put it to her nose to smell it.

"Dear sister Luo Ying, the sisters are very gentle!" After Anna said this, she made a gesture, and the other girls in the room seemed to be unable to hold back. Like hungry tigers, they pounced on the two Luo Yings who were surrounded and shivering in the middle with shining eyes.

"Quack! No! Elena, help!" The two panicked Luoying were grabbed by their limbs and pressed to the ground by the Sky Star sisters present. Seeing no less than a dozen devil's claws reaching out to them, the two Luoying screamed in pain.

Chapter 247: Gas Giant Planet Ignition Device (6000 words)

Luoying and her past self hugged each other with aggrieved expressions. Both of their bodies were covered with water stains and red marks from bites. Luoying from the past trembled as she curled up in the arms of the present Luoying. Although Luoying's own body was also covered with marks of being played with by the girls present, she still gently hugged her past self and gently stroked her past self's head. While whispering comfort to her past self, she looked at the culprit with a blaming eye.

Anna, who was stared at by Luoying, did not show any guilt or remorse. She just saw that their two "Luoying sisters" subconsciously thought that although they did not refuse to be intimate, they did not want to be taken away by Anna and some strange girls they had just met. So Anna and the other sisters present acted quite moderately and did not really let the two Luoying lose one of the most important things in life. They just watched with a dramatic look at the scene where two girls who looked exactly the same and were so lively hugged each other with aggrieved expressions and trembled to comfort each other after being toyed with by their so-called sisters.

Some girls with special hobbies seemed to enjoy watching such scenes. They continued to tease the shivering Luoying while admiring their "sister Luoying" seeking comfort from their current selves. The two of them exuded a slight fear and silently endured the harassment of the girls watching. Among the girls present, it seemed that a few more of them were aroused. They once again began to touch the two Luoyings. Luoying, who had no ability to resist and was almost eaten up by these so-called "sisters", could only be forced to endure the evil acts of these female guests and sisters. Although Luoying did not completely reject this slightly forced behavior subconsciously, it still made her feel a little uncomfortable and slightly scared.

Naturally, this emotion was also transmitted to the other girls present through the ability to share thoughts, emotions, and perceptions. They followed the last bottom line in the subconscious mind of "Sister Luoying" and did not cross the last line.

…………

"Hey, you're back?" Renlong looked at the two shadows from different time points who were supporting each other and walking out of the small wormhole portal with trembling legs, and stepped forward to support them.

"You guys...are you...being played a bit badly?"

Renlong said as he looked at the red marks and water stains on Luoying's body left by his sisters.

"That scumbag Anna... this time she brought over a bunch of strange girls who were close to her. Ugh... they were almost completely taken advantage of by the sisters."

"You've been fucked again? I think my future self was right about you..."

"At any time, I am the little bottom who can only be under other girls."

"Am I that weak? And at what point in time were you the Renlong?"

"Of course it's your time, that is, now. A person from five days later reminded me to take care of you now, saying that you should be being played with by a group of young ladies right now."

"Damn! You knew I was being bullied by Anna and the others, so why didn't you come and save me?"

"Why would they save you? If you were truly unwilling or completely rejected it subconsciously, they would never do this to you. The Sky Star people can no longer harm their fellow sisters. As long as you completely reject it subconsciously, they can't go against your wishes and force you to do anything like that."

"The fact that they can do this to you only means that you subconsciously do not completely reject them doing this to your body."

"Since this is a half-hearted and consensual thing, why should I save you?"

"So... you're just going to watch me being harmed by that scumbag Anna?" Luo Ying snorted and said in a bad mood.

"Okay, okay, at worst I can reward you by letting you sleep with Elena tonight as a consolation." Renlong gently patted the current Luoying's head twice to comfort her.

"Forget it, being able to sleep with Elena is not bad, and... being tricked by Anna into doing this kind of thing... It's not the first time. Even though it's a bunch of scumbag and philandering girls, as sisters between us... at least I'm not at a disadvantage, right?"

"You're quite open-minded, aren't you?" The Luoying of the past was surprised at the slightly changed thoughts of her present self.

"Even though we're always being bullied by our scumbag "sisters," as girls, at least we're not completely at a disadvantage, right?"

"This point...cannot be completely denied."

"But I prefer to be intimate with gentle girls like Elena. Anna and the girls she knows are too rough."

"What's more, those sisters often take advantage of their numbers and treat us this way and that. Not only are they rough, but it's also a bit uncomfortable."

"It's okay if it's just one person like Elena or Anna, but it's really unbearable if it's a group of people."

"Ugh... Damn it... I want to be on top too. It's a bit uncomfortable to always be pressed down."

"Hehe... the one on the bottom just needs to enjoy it. As for the one on top, there's a lot more to consider."

…………

"I think if you stay on Sky Star, you'll just be teased by your sisters. Why don't you go with me and Elena to see the eight-star system Xixi is working on?"

"If Elena goes with me, I have no objection. Staying with that scumbag Anna is too risky. She and the girls around her will do this and that to me at every turn. My Elena is better. She won't touch me at every turn."

"Well... you know Anna is just like that. It's not like she hasn't taken advantage of us before."

"You guys were also attacked by that scumbag?"

"Not really. At most, it just made Anna a lucky pervert a few times."

"To sum it up, she played with the horns on my head, touched Yuki's chest once, sniffed Xixi's hair once, touched Aze's legs once, and kissed me on the face once without warning."

"Have you all been victims in the end?"

"Although Anna is undoubtedly a scumbag, we don't particularly mind being taken advantage of a few times by a beautiful lucky female pervert, especially since this lucky female pervert is one of our nominal sisters."

"If you really think so, then wouldn't Anna be even more unscrupulous?"

"She's already unscrupulous enough, isn't she?"

"Besides, it's not a bad idea to occasionally have some intimate contact with my fellow sisters. Just think of it as a way to relieve some pressure on myself."

"I don't think that's relieving stress, it's adding pressure to yourself, right?"

"That's because you're a perpetual bottom. Occasionally, getting close to the sisters around us can really make us feel happier. Only you, a perpetual bottom, will unilaterally become the one who gets fucked every time you get even slightly intimate."

"Am I really that weak after all this time?"

"Yes... Look at Sister Kylias. Every time Anna dares to tease her, she always ends up at a disadvantage, right?"

"How can we compare? Sister Kylias is an old monster who has lived for nearly a hundred thousand years. Comparing me to her is like comparing a primitive man who just learned to use stones to an interstellar spaceship."

"I didn't say I had to compete with her, I just said that compared to Sister Kailias, your actual combat skills are really not good enough."

"Come on... Sigh... Why is it so hard to be the one on top?"

"You look like you're at the bottom of the food chain. There's no way you can get ahead of the powerful older sisters who are selling goods."

It's not just humans who can create time clones through the time bridge. Any matter and information can also be used to create a perfect time copy through the time-harmony macro-ctc computer. For example, a spaceship, a space station, a complete star system, or even an entire interstellar civilization occupying the Milky Way can all become the objects of an identical time clone produced by the macro-ctc phenomenon.

Now, the Ultimatum Light, driven by Calisi, who also comes from the past, is a living example of this. She is not the Calisi of today, but a version of herself from five years ago, and the ship under her is the one that was built by a

It was brought by a Renlong from the past from a point in time six weeks ago. In short, this is a Fantasy Light from a point in time three weeks ago.

"The six brown dwarfs are stable...all in stable orbits around binary star systems."

Calisi carefully reviewed the observational data of the stars and planets in this galaxy. The galaxy's central star is a binary system. Two red dwarfs orbit each other, and in their outer orbits are eleven planets in stable orbit. Six of these are brown dwarfs orbiting relatively close to the star. Of the remaining five planets, two are solid rocky objects, and the other three are Neptune-like ice giants. This is undoubtedly an extremely rare star system. The intriguing structure of six brown dwarfs in a single galaxy almost made Calisi wonder if this was another Cabot prank.

However, after careful scanning, exploration and observation, it was confirmed that the distribution of celestial bodies in this galaxy was naturally formed.

The six brown dwarfs orbit at a very low distance from the star, and are affected by the active solar flares and high-energy particle radiation from the binary stars of the red dwarf system. The gravitational disturbance of the six brown dwarfs orbiting in similar orbits has resulted in the absence of anything like an asteroid belt in the inner part of the entire galaxy. The remaining five planets are all distributed outside the snow line of the star system. The two solid rocky planets outside the snow line have no atmosphere, and their surfaces are covered with intermittent ice volcanoes and a part of the surface formed by silicates. The three outermost ice giants are rich in methane and appear dark blue overall. All three ice giants have a ring composed of a large number of ice crystals, dense dust particles, micrometeorites, and irregular asteroids.

After the unmanned fleet discovered this galaxy, it conducted rigorous scans and surveys of all celestial bodies in the entire star system, confirming that such a star system was naturally formed and that no form of life existed. For a star system with a very rare celestial body composition, the Tree of Life was naturally left to the astronomical artists of the Sky Star civilization to freely create.

The six brown dwarfs in the galaxy have inspired a series of fantastic ideas among the astronomical artists of Sky Star. For example, Calisi now plans to witness the wonderful process of astronomical artists igniting brown dwarfs into stars.

The one who participated in this creation was Noshalin, one of Nina's good friends and partners whom Yuki met at the House of Nudist Art: a cat-eared lady with a good figure. It is said that she is the sky star who likes to communicate with girls about art and feelings the most in the entire House of Nudist Art. In addition to her love of creating some spectacular planetary and stellar celestial projects, she is also a painter. It's just that her hobby makes some girls shy. She likes to let other sky star sisters brought back by her be her nude models, hanging or tied up without any clothes, so that she can create at will and relax after the creation is completed.

As one of her partners, Nina was naturally fortunate enough to experience such treatment. When chatting with Yuuki and several other sisters who had a good relationship with her, Nina also complained that Noshalin's creative techniques were a bit rough. Whether in celestial art projects or human body painting, she often liked to pursue some miraculous methods to create art. She and several other sisters were often unable to walk for several days because of her.

"Proton chain fusion reaction ray?"

"Isn't this what Aphro Swarm likes to use?"

"We also have related technologies. We have directed energy launchers that can instantly generate proton fusion reactions within an entire area of ​​matter below a critical mass. These have been used on a small scale in the fields of celestial engineering and celestial art creation on Sky Star."

"Avro's Hive Consciousness, because of the abundance of gas giant planets in the neighboring star systems surrounding its home galaxy, prefers to use and deploy this proton chain fusion directed energy device on a large scale."

"This directed energy device can directly ignore the gas giant planet's gaseous and liquid bodies composed of hydrogen and helium, which are too low in mass to produce a chain fusion reaction, and transform the entire gas giant planet into a star far below the minimum mass."

"As for the principle behind this device... it's the result of the long-ago Circumstellar Grand Unified Theory Collider. By adjusting and, to a certain extent, controlling the parameters of the weak interaction force within atomic nuclei, protons within the nuclei undergo nuclear fusion reactions, triggering a runaway chain reaction. A directed energy launcher built on this principle could ignite a brown dwarf or a gas giant far below the minimum stellar mass limit into a star."

"Although this process may seem a bit too rough, if the gravitational confinement of the ignited gas giant planet is not done well, the gas giant planet is likely to be blown into a discrete gas nebula under the uncontrolled proton chain fusion reaction instead of becoming a stable star."

"Therefore, before igniting the six brown dwarfs in the galaxy, we need to gravitationally constrain and control the main body of the brown dwarfs to a certain extent, otherwise the entire ignition process is likely to evolve into a small supernova explosion."

At this time in the star system, a large number of von Neumann self-replicators are already under construction, and a modified specialized gravity traction engineering ship has also been positioned in the orbit of Planet No. 1. After the von Neumann self-replicator completes the star ring equipped with a gravitational field constraint field for Planet No. 1, Noshalin's breathtaking gas giant planet ignition creation will officially begin.

…………

Planet One is a brown dwarf with a mass 30 times that of Jupiter and 50% of the volume of a common G2V yellow dwarf. Although its mass is less than 4% of the parent star in the galaxy where Sky Star is located, it cannot initiate fusion reactions to become a burning star due to its insufficient mass. However, its surface has a temperature of up to 2900 Kelvin (equal to 2626.85), which is enough to melt most metals including iron.

Because Planet One orbits too close to a binary star consisting of two red dwarfs, it is the planet most affected by the gravitational disturbances of the star, as well as solar flares and coronal mass ejections. The strong magnetic field of the brown dwarf interacts with the large amount of high-energy particle cosmic rays produced by the active stellar activity of the red dwarf, forming spectacular auroras in the upper atmosphere at the poles of the brown dwarf. The brightness of the auroras at the poles of this brown dwarf is comparable to that of the sun, causing the poles of the gas giant planet to always be in a state of almost permanent polar day.

At the same time, because it is too close to the star, the huge gravitational disturbance caused by the star's gravity well means that the brown dwarf, which is Planet No. 1, has no satellites. Even if Planet No. 1 had stable satellites orbiting it in the past, they were ejected from orbit by the star's gravitational disturbance or under the influence of the brown dwarf's gravity, the orbit gradually became lower and lower, and finally after exceeding the Roche limit, it was torn apart by the brown dwarf's gravity and fell into the brown dwarf's gaseous and liquid surface composed of hydrogen, helium and various molten metal elements.

Today, a gas giant gravitational confinement field ring with a diameter of 80 kilometers is nearing completion in the brown dwarf's equatorial synchronous orbit. After the ignition work begins, this ring will release a gravitational field inward that will wrap the entire gas giant, allowing the entire gas giant to undergo a stable fusion reaction after ignition, rather than directly turning into a small supernova that is powerful enough to destroy the entire galaxy.
