The stars, but they become the gray wind

"But... I'm a little itchy, I also want to play a real-life version of War Thunder..." Aze shouted absentmindedly.

"It's just a tank, are you so greedy?"

"But it's pretty cool, I want to fight it with armor-plated shells too!"

"What era is this? Why are you still thinking about fighting against armored vehicles? Be careful or you'll get yourself into trouble."

"But no matter how many turrets the Multi-Turret Cult has, they can't defeat a missile. If that's the case, why not just stuff a few more anti-tank missiles on the vehicle?"

"You're saying armor is useless! That's one-sided thinking!"

"Well... Actually, if you think about this carefully, it may be absurd to say that armor is useless for a 21st-century army. But the question is, is it really useful to just pile up armor in our current situation?" As she spoke, Carlisle controlled the nanomachines on her body and created a weapon that looked very familiar to Aze.

"Actually, a very crucial question is, no matter how thick the armor is, it will be useless in front of this thing, right?" Kalisi picked up the green weapon that looked very heavy.

"Uh... this... Gauss Disintegrator weapon... How can I refute this? Isn't this a bit too shameless?"

"It's not that stacking armor is useless, but at least for us right now, just stacking armor is really useless. As long as it's not a degenerate level substance, it will most likely be turned into powder on the spot if it encounters this stuff."

"Uh... never mind. I won't argue with you, but this is really a bit out of the ordinary."

"Actually, I prefer missiles. When the technology is advanced enough, missiles are often omnipotent."

"Are you Yumi Xiaofu?" Upon hearing this, Aze almost spit out the Coke in his mouth with joy.

On Taylor Island, Charlotte and her group are being taken around by Yuuki and Renlong. The island is full of things that no one has ever seen and unheard-of scientific and technological knowledge.

"This is the Stonehenge railgun, the most important defensive weapon for the airspace within a 1200-kilometer radius and even for space orbit."

"Its official name is actually the Space Guard Battery Network. The concentric circles of these batteries, like a ring, are reminiscent of the famous Stonehenge in Albion, hence the name Stonehenge."

"As you can see, these eight 120cm caliber cannons are all fully automatic fixed cannons that are accelerated by a mixture of chemical energy gunpowder and electromagnetic force. They can easily accelerate 1200mm caliber shells to an extremely high initial velocity of up to 17-18 Mach, or 6 kilometers per second. In the face of this caliber and speed, anything is fragile and vulnerable." Renlong acted as a very considerate tour guide for everyone.

Looking at the dragon lady with dragon horns on her head, Charlotte and the others were also very curious. When they first saw the Renlong, everyone, especially Mary, who was still a child, was completely attracted by the pair of dragon horns on the top of the Renlong head. Looking at the leisurely and contented dragon lady in front of her, the curious Charlotte resisted the idea of ​​asking the dragon lady if she could let herself touch her dragon horns.

"Um...this...Sister Long?" At this time, Mary suddenly asked shyly.

"Ah, what's wrong?"

"Can...can I touch the horns on your head, sister?" As a child, Mary obviously did not have as many concerns about politeness as Charlotte. Mary asked Renlong in a very direct way.

"Hehe... If someone made this request to me, I would probably beat him up. But considering that you are a good kid and a beautiful girl, since you want to touch me, of course I won't refuse." Renlong smiled and replied.

"What does this have to do with whether or not you're a good kid? I think the important thing is that the one behind is a beautiful girl," Yuki complained speechlessly.

"Well, I just like beautiful girls. If a pure and beautiful girl wants to touch my horns, I will be happy to do so." Renlong said with a mischievous look on his face.

"Uh…are you some kind of unicorn?"

"Hehe, this is my unique advantage. Aze's wings and the halo on his head are not physical, and you can't touch them even if you want to. But the horns on my head are my unique advantage." Renlong said with a very confident expression.

"Pfft! The advantage you're talking about isn't the advantage you get when flirting with girls, right?" Looking at the confident yet comedian Renlong, Yuki couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"A guy with no experience in this area is flirting with girls...give me some time." Yuki covered his mouth and smiled.

"So what if I don't have experience in this area? I can learn it on the spot." Renlong was obviously quite confident about this.

Note 1: In 1995, Germany conducted tests on a 105mm electrothermal gun, which was able to accelerate a 2kg projectile to 2400m/s. Due to the low efficiency of converting electrical energy into mechanical energy, the high-power pulse power supply required for "pure" electrothermal guns is even as large as the power supply for electromagnetic guns. Therefore, "pure" electrothermal guns are not a viable option for future tank guns. Therefore, research has focused entirely on electrothermal chemical guns.

In order to increase the initial velocity of traditional solid propellant guns, the propellant is burned in the barrel while a plasma generated by a high-power pulse power supply is injected. This can indeed increase the muzzle velocity to 2000-2500 meters per second.

Chapter 97: Six-Year Countdown to the Crisis and a Beach BBQ

After touring around the island, Charlotte and the others witnessed the technology and infrastructure on Taylor Island that far exceeded their imagination. At the end of the tour, Yuki and Renlong brought everyone to the coast on the south side of the island. Here, Charlotte and the others saw from afar the huge silver-white inverted trapezoidal hydropower platform standing on the sea.

At the bottom of the hydropower platform, the water inlet is continuously extracting seawater and pumping it into the separation and purification equipment inside the hydropower platform. In this process, the seawater is decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen. Part of the oxygen element is stored for emergency use, and the other part is directly discharged into the atmosphere. The separated hydrogen element is further purified into the isotope deuterium and sent into the fusion reactor reaction chamber. Here, the high-purity deuterium isotope is instantly heated to nearly one billion degrees Celsius. In the extremely high-pressure environment of more than 250atm, the deuterium element begins to undergo a fusion reaction and releases huge energy in the atomic nucleus. The helium-3, which is a deuterium-deuterium fusion reactant, is collected and stored as a raw material for future deuterium-helium-3 or pure helium-3 fusion reactors.

.........

"Ms. Yuki...may I ask why you had to bring us here?" Charlotte shifted her gaze away from the huge hydroelectric platform in the distance and asked Yuki curiously.

"Well... one of the main reasons is that I want you to have a good look at the spectacular sight of the hydroelectric platform generating electricity. As for the other main reason... Renlong!!" Yuki suddenly shouted to Renlong beside him.

"What's the matter?"

"I remember you had a barbecue party here when we were away? And you used a lot of bluefin tuna?"

"Uh...it seems so."

"Do you still owe us a barbecue?" Yuki reminded with a smile, rubbing his hands.

"So that's what you're talking about... I thought it was something else, and it made me a little nervous."

"Ever since we came to this island, we've been so busy that we haven't had time for leisure activities like barbecue parties. Now that Charlotte and the others are here, how can we not take the opportunity to have a barbecue party?"

"Didn't you say last time that you had a lot of bluefin tuna left? It's just right to use it to treat Charlotte and the others. Just treat it as a welcome party." Yuki said as he licked his upper lip.

"Why do I feel like you want to eat it yourself?" The little movements on Yuki's face did not escape Renlong's sharp eyes.

"There is indeed some reason for this...but the most important thing is to take this opportunity to have a fun barbecue party for everyone!" Yuki shouted happily while urging Renlong.

"Okay, okay, there's really nothing I can do about you. Wait, I'll call Kalisi and Aze to come over."

"By the way, speaking of this, Your Highness Charlotte and Miss Angel, you two must have never tried barbecue, right? Why not take this opportunity to try it together?" Renlong said.

"Barbecue... I've heard of this kind of thing, but as a member of the royal family, we almost never get to taste such food in our daily lives." Charlotte recalled carefully.

"And when I was a child, because of..." When Charlotte wanted to continue speaking, she suddenly remembered that Mary, Dorothy and other companions were still with her, and they didn't know about her past with Angel, so Charlotte subconsciously closed her mouth.

"Before I met Anjie, I was poor as a child, so I had no chance to taste this kind of thing." Charlotte added silently in her heart.

.........

A moment later, a barbecue grill was set up on the beach in the southern part of the island. Next to the grill was a pile of bluefin tuna that were at least two meters long. Charlotte and Angel were slightly surprised when they saw so many bluefin tuna. The two of them had lived in a closed environment for many years and had almost never seen such a scene.

Renlong was leisurely flipping the fish on the grill, humming a song happily. On the side, Charlotte and others were already sitting at a round dining table, waiting for the fish to be cooked through by high temperature and served on the table in front of them.

"There really are bluefin tuna this big?" Qianshi exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the pile of fish next to the grill that had almost formed a small mountain.

"There's still some time after the fish is grilled, so why don't we talk about your housing problem?" After hearing that there was going to be a barbecue party, Carlisle immediately rushed to the beach in the south of Taylor Island and asked Charlotte and the others.

"Housing problem?"

"Yes, the housing problem."

"All the materials that make up your white house have been recycled by me. As long as I need it, I can directly print out a white house, even a white house on the ground." The key is how do you plan to build such a house that has great ground significance?

"It's definitely no problem to restore it for you 1:1. It's a piece of cake. The key is where you want to build it? Or what kind of building do you want? I'll ask in advance so that I can modify it for you two."

"So this is the location for building a house. I don't really care about this. As long as I can stay with Charlotte, it's fine." Angel said to her lover with a gentle expression.

"So do you two have no objection?" Yuki asked Charlotte and Anhuo, the two parties involved, while looking at Renlong who was fiddling with the fish.

"As long as we can be with each other, we don't really care about where we live," Charlotte said to Yuki.

"Well, since both parties have no other opinions or ideas, let's build your white houses next to our camp." Yuki said jokingly.

"My fish fillets are ready, who wants some?" Renlong's voice came from the grill.

"Give me one! I can't wait to try what bluefin tuna tastes like." Carlisle raised her hand excitedly.

"But it's really rare to see so many people gathered together," Yuki said with emotion.

"Since we are all gathered together today, let's have a good party!!!" Renlong, who was sitting by the barbecue grill, also took the time to agree.

"After all, we've all been friends for so long, and if you think about it, we haven't even had a meal together yet. Let's take this opportunity and have some fun!"

"We are one of the 80 billion people scattered across the surface of the earth. Countless probabilities and coincidences have brought us together. This is fate, isn't it?" Yuki recalled that before he traveled through time, several of them were friends, but in fact they came from different corners of the world. It was because of various coincidences that they were able to meet and understand each other. They learned that they had the same hobbies, different life experiences and pasts as themselves, and they discussed together various perspectives on seeing the world.

And today, even though they are already in another world, these few people are finally able to express their own nature and ideas without any scruples on this small island, and freely unleash their creativity.

"Cheers!" Yuki raised a goblet filled with sparkling water.

"Anyway, I'm honored to meet you guys." The angelic-looking Aze also picked up his cup of Coke and toasted Charlotte opposite him.

Yi Yiqi IV witch on the lake————

During the happy barbecue party on the beach these days, while toasting and drinking, in the corner of the tank training ground on the island, Cabot was looking at the holographic image floating in front of him.

The holographic image in front of Cabot projected a star map of the entire Milky Way. As Cabot zoomed in on one area, more detailed stars were also displayed. On the star map of this area of ​​the Milky Way, dozens of light spots were already marked individually with red symbols. Without exception, these marked light spots were all celestial bodies such as massive stars.

"Using stellar brakes to slow down? This method is really simple and crude." After magnifying the image of one of the stars, Cabot carefully examined the tragic state of the star. More than half of the stellar matter was pulled out from the star's rotation axis, and under the influence of the star's own gravity, a noodle-like belt-shaped disk composed of plasma was formed around the star.

After carefully examining the other light spots in the image, Cabot confirmed that similar situations had occurred on almost every marked star. Cabot knew the cause of this incident very well, but she obviously did not intend to reveal the mystery for the time being. Even to her subordinates, Cabot did not intend to let them know about this for the time being, because that would obviously disrupt her plans.

Of course, Cabot took a laissez-faire attitude towards these subordinates, but she also did not want any unexpected events to interrupt her plans.

"The star's corona is braking and slowing down, but they are really... It looks like they have gone further than I expected."

"Obviously... the speed of light barrier is simply not enough to contain a group of people with such an overwhelming desire for exploration and expansion."

"And that thing should have already entered the solar system, but it's still far away from the Earth. They probably won't be able to find it for the time being." At this time, Cavot opened another holographic panel, which was showing a series of times. It was not the time shown on an ordinary clock, but a countdown.

这一串倒计时上显示的是一串随着时间不断减少的数字，这串数字目前显示的时间则是剩余6年5个月零9天8小时17分钟零4秒，如果按现在的时间1902年来算的话那么，在这串倒计时结束时，时间刚好会抵达1908年6月30日。

Cabot waved his hand, closed the countdown interface, and opened another holographic star map of the solar system. In the map, a red track was slowly passing through the aphelion at the edge of the outer solar system. According to Cabot's calculations, this track was approaching the sun in an elliptical orbit with a very large eccentricity. At its current speed, it would intersect with the Earth's orbit in June 1908 and directly collide with the Earth.

Capote manipulated the holographic star map again, calculating the impact point when the object intersected with the Earth's orbit.

"Desolate Siberia? Interesting... So, that incident in this world was caused by their things?"

Looking at the displayed calculation results, Cabot smiled instead.

"It seems that the interfaces I left in their genetic structure are still there, which means..."

"Actually... in a sense, beings like them are actually part of us. Interesting."

"For a civilization stuck below the speed of light to accomplish something of this magnitude is truly remarkable.

And to have actually gotten this far is far beyond our expectations,” Cabot commented calmly.

"According to this date, it would be June 30, 1908?"

"Tunguska is going to be uneasy. It looks like the consequences of the Tunguska explosion in this world will be very serious."

Looking at another holographic panel showing an emergency report of abnormal gamma-ray activity detected within the solar system.

"It leaves such a long gamma-ray tail that it's hard not to notice it.

Almost every piece of other data that Cabot detected told her that something quite unusual had appeared in the solar system.

Although the existence of this anomaly was almost completely meaningless to Cabot, it might not be the case for the others. Of course, the others were still unaware of what Cabot was hiding from them.

Cabot does have a secret, which is that he came to this universe not just for a vacation. There is a small gift he prepared for everyone in this universe, which can also be said to be a huge opportunity. It depends on whether the four of them can give full play to their talents and seize this opportunity.

Although Cabot expected his men to find themselves receiving expressions of great surprise during the future contact, it was obviously not the time to think about this. It was still nearly six years since the incident on June 30, 1908, and everyone still had plenty of time to prepare.

"But I'd like to know more about what my men would do in response to this situation, which at least seems urgent to them?" Cabot smiled playfully.

"Everything still needs time to be verified," Cabot said silently.

Just as Cabot was deliberately planning to hide some key information from his men, on the south side of the island, the foursome was having an extremely happy barbecue party with Charlotte and others.

"Give me another piece!" The purple-haired girl shouted as she looked at the tuna steak sizzling on the grill.

"You've eaten almost three hundred pieces of tuna steak, right? What kind of pig are you? Is your appetite a little too good?" Renlong on the side whispered to Calisi.

"It's only a 300 yuan fish fillet. Even if it costs several thousand yuan, I think I can eat it! Besides, our bodies are not human now, and the things we eat will essentially be directly broken down by nanomachines." The purple-haired girl said excitedly.

Charlotte and others were also eating happily. Having never eaten barbecue before, Charlotte, Angel and Mary ate the meat on skewers or grilled fish fillets with big mouthfuls, enjoying the greasy taste in their mouths.

"Everyone seems quite happy to see the chess game go up, but I have something to remind you guys: you might be busy in the next few years."

"Huh?" Beatrice seemed a little confused.

"Since you all want to live on the island, there's a lot you need to learn, including computer science, updated physics systems, and more mature biological cognitive theories."

"Everyone, even on the island, don't forget to learn knowledge. Moreover, this knowledge can ensure that you can come and go more freely on the island in the future."

"Otherwise, if you don't have this common sense, you may not be able to move forward on the island." Yuki reminded jokingly.

"After we finish eating, we can consider building a house for you two." The purple-haired girl said happily.

"Compared to the cold, airless, and makeshift environment of the white house in its original location, I promise to give you a sunny, warm house with a sea view directly facing the sea."

Carlisle raised the glass in her hand and said to Charlotte and Ange sitting opposite her through the bright sunlight.

Chapter 98 Modern White House and the Fighting Fairy Snow Wind (5000 words)

After the barbecue party, Carlisle and Aze took Charlotte and others to solve the problem of the house. They came to a small hill near the camp. Carlisle looked around and found that there were quite dense bushes and weeds on the hill.

"It looks like there are too many weeds. Let's clean them up first." Kalisi waved her right hand casually, and a wisp of silver sand separated from her right arm and floated towards the area overgrown with weeds and bushes.

After the silver sand came into contact with the weeds, the weeds were decomposed and devoured at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the fallen leaves on the ground were turned into raw materials for nanomachines.

"Done. Let's start solving the problem of the house." Carlisle took out a holographic projector from her pocket and uploaded all the three-dimensional data of the white stone house scanned by the drone to the projector as a reference during the construction process.

However, this time, Carlisle did not plan to restore the house herself. Three specially modified drones flew forward and began to spray nanomaterials on the cleared space. As the nanomaterials came into contact with the ground, a large number of nanomachines quickly penetrated into the soil and compacted and solidified the soil. After the foundation was completed, the three drones restored the walls, floors, roofs and even the interiors of the white house bit by bit according to the three-dimensional holographic images scanned before. After forming the walls, the nanomaterials sprayed by the drones changed and reorganized their own microstructure at the atomic level, transforming themselves into the most common cement composed of limestone in construction.
