Colonia Storm Tour

"Thunderbolt-1 has been shot down! Thunderbolt-2 takes over command." "—Shhh! Twin Feathers, denial! Thunderbolt Squadron can't do it! We're being chased by a bunch of fearless domain lunatics!"

Just as the Lionheart bombers entered their radar warning range, the battle in the airspace surrounding the domain formed by the warships had already reached a fever pitch and entered a stalemate. In fact, if it weren't for the domain generated by the warships' cores as a shield, and the formidable shipborne anti-aircraft firepower, the Thunderhawk and Storm Claw would have already gradually eroded and reduced the number of these Tengu. The one who has achieved the most kills so far is the taciturn Swiftrunner, because only he has the ability to continuously overtake G-class aircraft and ensure that high-speed strikes will end the enemy aircraft in one go.

After flying along the attack route for about 3 minutes, the Lionheart bombers had entered the range of the longest-range shipborne air defense missile SM-2RE and had begun to be locked onto by the Aegis radar of the Kongo-class missile cruisers. For the Lionheart bombers, which were not flying at normal supersonic cruise speed, this meant that they had entered the engagement phase before the bombing phase.

"Alpha Aurora Squadron, Trident Squadron, have passed checkpoint C. Please increase the afterburner output efficiency from 25% to 100% and enter maximum speed mode."

"Hahaha, this is the moment I've been waiting for! Come on! Let's prepare to give these Japanese idiots a big surprise! They'll never imagine they'll get this slapped in the face!"

After saying their piece, Sonic-1 and Sonic-1 let out a maniacal and extremely happy laugh, and pressed the button to increase the afterburner's operating power until the HUD displayed that the afterburner's operating power was 100%.

The Lionheart bomber’s single engine spewed out a huge plume of hot exhaust gas, followed by an even deeper blue tail flame burning in the engine nozzle. With the afterburner operating at full power, the Lionheart bomber’s speed soared once again, while the E-2D AWACS radar operator gave a heart-wrenching report in the last minute before the Lionheart bomber entered the bombing phase.

"Lieutenant Kuuga! The enemy aircraft group of unknown type, temporarily designated Group B, has increased its average speed from 700 meters per second to 1120 meters per second! Mach 3.3, my God! Are they planning to use kamikaze attacks?!"

In the minds of radar operators, there are no tactical bombers that can fly at speeds of Mach 3.3, nor have they ever seen a tactical bomber that can accurately drop bombs at that speed!

Life and death hung in the balance in the final two minutes. However, the emergency catapult launch of fighter jets on the aircraft carrier was no longer aimed at intercepting enemy aircraft. The enemy aircraft rushing head-on at that speed could not be intercepted by missiles. The reason for continuing to launch fighter jets despite the danger was simply to reduce the loss of fighter jets remaining on the deck due to the upcoming air attack.

The VLS hatch was open, and a large number of missiles rose into the air amidst billowing white smoke, heading towards the targets locked by radar and seekers. The MK26 twin-arm missile launchers also began launching missiles, while the CIWS had turned towards the direction of the incoming enemy aircraft. The Mind's Eye domain was already on standby, ready to capture targets entering the domain and provide dynamic coordinate data. However, the speed of the Lionheart bomber had exceeded the domain's tracking capability, and the flames spewed by the CIWS had no effect whatsoever on the Lionheart bomber.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The Lionheart bomber weaved through a barrage of missiles and cannon fire, its roar as it supersonicly cut through the air echoing across the sea. Just as Odin had predicted, the Lionheart opened its unique bomb bay and pulled up sharply. The massive EMP fuel-air explosives inside, propelled by the powerful jet's drop, crashed into the composite destroyers and cruisers—far more vulnerable than the steel-framed warships of World War II—at a speed that close-in weapon systems and the Mind's Eye could not withstand.

Meanwhile, the aircraft carrier Amagi received a warm welcome from the Trident Squadron, with 72 Venus missiles!

Boom! Sizzle ...

The Lionheart bombers of the Alpha Dawn Squadron shot almost vertically into the dark blue sky above, like arrows, with high-heat cloud shockwaves and deadly electromagnetic pulses spreading across the sea below.

After the high-temperature cloud shockwave and the instantaneous electromagnetic pulse dissipate, the destroyers and cruisers that had been cutting through the waves have become blazing torches on the sea. The duet of electromagnetic pulses from fuel-air explosives is enough to kill most of the crew and paralyze electronic equipment that is not protected against CNC series electromagnetic pulses. Now these burning warships are not so easy to sink.

The Amagi aircraft carrier, having been hit by 72 Venus missiles, had its island superstructure and flight deck ravaged by EMP fuel-air explosives, and other parts of the ship were in no better condition. With the addition of 72 Venus missiles, the entire Amagi aircraft carrier was completely rendered combat ineffective. If there were still qualified crew members on board, they could sail back, but Lin Haiyuan and his men had no intention of giving anyone the chance to sail the carrier back.

After 48 Lionheart bombers raised their noses and accelerated into the high altitude, they left behind enemy planes that had not yet fully reacted to the situation on the sea and friendly fighters that were cleaning up the mess. They dusted themselves off and sped back to their Paradox engines.

Book VII, Apocalypse of the Stars, Chapter I: The Jealousy of Time (Part I)

Chapter 1: Time of Envy

A time traveler is a time traveler after all. Traveling through multiple or countless worlds is always the destiny of a time traveler. And the calamities and happiness brought to the worlds they travel to are also equal according to the circumstances. But there is one thing that no one, including the time travelers themselves, can deny: they are natural disasters that are more powerful than the original protagonists of those worlds.

"I am the Fourth Calamity" — A Transmigrator

Theme song: The Golden Armada

Faced with an unexpected method of traveling back to the future, Lin Haiyuan, along with the two purifiers and the air base on the flank of Colonia, experienced the feeling of being pushed backward by G-force. Whether it lasted only a second or was eternal, Lin Haiyuan could see the streaks of light receding rapidly backward from the ship's hull on the holographic projection, realizing that he had entered a space of extraordinary significance.

This significant space is similar to a warp space, because similar scenes can be seen inside a warp space.

Could there be a basic error in the theory of relativism, mistaking the Leviathan warp engine for the Aurora plasma thruster? No, no, no, that's impossible. How could there be a mistake? Something must be wrong with the plasma thruster, but... that doesn't make sense either. Even if there were a problem with the plasma thruster, it would still push us into a space similar to warp space.

Just as Lin Haiyuan was feeling confused, this warp-like process came to an end, which was manifested by the disappearance of the backward-flowing light.

Near the orbit of an ocean planet that looked remarkably similar to Earth, Colonia's flank airbase burst forth from somewhere in space with a bright blue flash.

From the ground of the ocean planet, this flash of light looked like Sirius suddenly appearing in the sky and then disappearing.

As he looked at the planet in the holographic projection, Lin Haiyuan's tense nerves and anxious heart finally relaxed.

"Have we somehow made our way back to Earth? But judging from the continental structure, it doesn't look like it at all. Walker AI, check our current location."

Lin Haiyuan immediately started operating the holographic projection in front of him to try to understand the current situation.

"Yes, Master."

As requested by Lin Haiyuan, Walker.com's AI used all available functions to understand the current location.

Lin Haiyuan stopped what he was doing on the holographic projection. He picked up his bodyguard Bai Luo to calm himself down, and then watched the data flow on the holographic projection, waiting for Walker.com's AI to respond.

For a moment, he had the urge to hug the guard next to him, Bai Luo, to calm himself down, but he wasn't shameless enough to do such a thing in the command room.

The data flowing on the holographic projection is not data from the satellite, because how could the GLONASS satellite system still be online when we have arrived in an unknown place?

The most reliable way to confirm your location now is to compare it with astronomical data such as star charts and cosmological observation data of your current location.

"Master, based on our observations of the brightness variations of Type IA supernova remnants and Cepheid variable stars, as well as the pulse intensity and frequency of nearby pulsars, and through database comparison, we found that the difference between these and our known standard candles is 10%, and the pulse intensity and frequency of the pulsars differ by 35%. There is a discrepancy between the starry sky around us and the starry sky recorded on our star charts. However, even with this discrepancy, we can still identify any constellation we know. Although there is a discrepancy, we can still confirm that we are indeed located in the Milky Way galaxy."

However, by comparing the stars in our current planetary system with those in the system, we found through spectral analysis that this is not a G-type star (the Sun), but an F-type star.

Walker.com AI simultaneously displayed both the processed visual star map and the spectral analysis map in the holographic projection.

The first thing Lin Haiyuan saw was a super-giant plasma sphere that was burning fiercely, radiating a white-blue glow.

"Blue dwarf, huh? I should be glad I didn't walk past a pulsar or face a black hole."

Lin Haiyuan thought blue dwarfs were alright, because it wasn't impossible for blue dwarfs to have ocean planets. But if he encountered a planetary system composed of pulsars that also had ocean planets, then he could only marvel at the magic of the Swedish donkeys. Generally speaking, pulsars are born in supernova explosions. The energy produced during a supernova explosion can usually destroy its own planetary system and eventually affect several light-years away. The same applies to black holes.

"Measurements have shown that the ocean planet currently facing the Colonia flank air base is 5.12 AU away from their F-type star."

Walker.com AI responded.

"5.12 AU? This distance is just right. The fact that the ocean planet in front of us has not been evaporated by the high temperature of the star's radiation or blown into a barren planet by the star's wind is proof that we are not in the solar system."

Lin Haiyuan had no recollection of ever living in this kind of star system.

"Based on current information, we are indeed in a galaxy, but it is not the galaxy of the world we were in before. There is a greater than 95% chance that we have come to another universe."

Walker.com provides a summary answer.

"We've arrived in another universe..."

Lin Haiyuan's heart was already echoing with his unique voice expressing his feelings: holy shit shit shit shit...

"Master, please give instructions for the next step."

Walker.com's AI awaits Lin Haiyuan's next command.

"Alice, Gardenia, Artemisia, and my three daughters, I haven't even seen them running and jumping around yet, and I've already traveled through time again."

Lin Haiyuan looked at the ocean planet in the holographic projection, which was surrounded by a gray-white satellite similar to the moon, with a sense of frustration.

Just before he transmigrated, he was thinking about his three beautiful wives and his daughter who hadn't grown up yet. He hadn't had a proper long period of time before he was transmigrated alone again. How could he not be depressed?

Frustrated as he was, Lin Haiyuan could not allow Colonia's flank air base to drift aimlessly outside the orbit of this ocean planet's natural satellite.

"Walker AI, can you detect radio waves from humanoid beings communicating over long distances on this ocean planet?"

The first thing Lin Haiyuan needs to do is to determine whether there are any native inhabitants who have entered modern society on this Earth-like planet. If they are still in a primitive civilization, then Lin Haiyuan, the fourth calamity, can decide whether to raise the blade of slaughter called "purification" and declare that the planet belongs to them based on their appearance and inner nature, rather than guiding them to become a vassal state.

Of course, this was a joke. Lin Hai originally wanted to find a planetary base and satellite base for Colonia's flank to develop in this world, or to put it euphemistically, to seek a place to breathe.

"Yes, Master..."

Walker.com's AI has begun collecting radio waves on this planet that may be used for communication.

Lin Haiyuan, holding Bai Luochang, began to observe the ocean planet in the holographic projection. This ocean planet was not just a vast blue ocean covering the entire globe, but rather an ocean covering more than 90% of the planet's surface, with most of the land consisting of islands.

But this ocean planet is a bit special compared to other standard ocean planets, because it has visible continents instead of just a long string of broken islands.

Lin Haiyuan saw an outline similar to Asia in the visible continent, but this "Asia" was vastly different from the real Asia. The most obvious difference was the disappearance of Central Asia, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Xinjiang, Southeast Asia, and South Asia. The Heilongjiang River, which separated the northeastern border of "Russia" and "China," formed a sea similar to the Mediterranean Sea. However, the emergence of this Mediterranean sea resulted in the appearance of the Arctic region of "Asia," and the three northeastern provinces of China became part of that Mediterranean region, just like China was hit by a major Eurasian air disaster. However, that situation was not caused by the Qinling and Kunlun Mountains blocking the devastating impact; it was a natural formation.

However, the most prominent place in Asia is still the "Japanese archipelago," which is the place that most easily reminds people of Earth.

"Oceania" no longer exists; it is now entirely composed of a series of scattered, fragmented islands of varying sizes.

Below lies a super-large island similar to Australia and a string of smaller islands. Similarly, there is a separate ice-covered continent in the Antarctic region that looks similar to the Antarctic continent on Earth, except that it lacks the long tail (the Antarctic Peninsula).

"Europe" and "Asia" are no longer separated by the Ural Mountains, but by a narrow sea similar to the Red Sea, and the rest of the Eurasian continental boundary is separated by seas of varying sizes.

The locations of the "Middle East" and "Africa" ​​are only dotted with islands of varying sizes in the azure ocean, which look like mere buoys.

The continent Lin Haiyuan was looking at was currently in the dark: "According to the division conventions on Earth, what we should be seeing now is the eastern hemisphere of this ocean planet."

Just as Lin Haiyuan wanted to observe further, Walker.com's AI had already completed the task Lin Haiyuan had set for him.

"Master, our radio monitoring system has confirmed the collection of radio waves. After deciphering and interpreting their content, we have obtained basic information about this planet."

Walker.com's AI has begun to deploy a new holographic projection to list the collected intelligence.

The holographic projection displayed the continents that Lin Haiyuan had just seen, and the names of these continents were different from the lazy nicknames he had just used.

Asia — East Pacific

"The star was named Baiyang, the planet was named Hailanxing, the sea satellite was named Cangyue, and the continent was named Dongtaizhou. The outline of this continent is very similar to that of parts of Asia. There are two known countries on this continent, Donghuang and Chongying. Their language systems are almost identical to those of China and Japan on Earth, so the deciphering was quite smooth."

Walker.com AI marked two different colored boxes on the Eastern Pacific to distinguish the borders of two countries.

"I think it's Xing, huh? Why does it feel like I've heard that name somewhere before?"

Lin Haiyuan muttered to himself, "I feel like I've seen him somewhere before."

Europe ———→ Tricolore

"The continent's boundaries are wider than we imagined, comparable to East Pacific. On this continent of Whitewar, there are three countries: Northern Union, Lion King, and Iron Aca. Based on their languages, they can be identified as Russia, Great Britain, and Germany."

When Walker.com's AI got to this point, Lin Haiyuan finally realized that he seemed to have heard it somewhere before.

"Have we arrived in the world of Azur Lane...? Walker.net AI, is there another country called Eagle Union on the other side next?"

Lin Haiyuan felt that he had seen through everything on this planet.

"Yes, White Eagle is located in Baidra State, and there are no other countries in the world besides it."

Walker.com AI responded.

"It would be too easy for us to defeat everything on this planet. We might as well just set up our base on this planet as if we were on a picnic."

Lin Haiyuan didn't think the ship girls could pose a threat to them.

"Azur Lane, what's that?"

Walker.com's AI does not understand this mobile game.

"It's a game about anthropomorphic warships, which is quite interesting. However, I've only looked at the settings and haven't played it. What I can say for sure is that if a real war were to break out, we would be able to easily defeat a bunch of WWII-level opponents, who would at most be some kind of fantasy-enhanced enemies."

Lin Haiyuan really has too many ways to deal with ship girls. Even a pure naval team could send them all to take a bath without any mercy.

But things will never be as simple as Lin Haiyuan imagined.

“Master, but the intelligence we intercepted among the natives of this planet indicates that there is a force that does not belong to the native forces of this planet. This force is called the Ringed Messengers, and according to the communication with the local natives, it is self-proclaimed.”
