Chapter 1: The Smoky Steam World: Prologue: Working for Cabot

The daily communication among a group of silly friends is often full of weird talk and nonsense.

……

【Let’s have some erotic pictures! 】

[If I turn you into a girl, there will be pornographic pictures. 】

【If we have to change, you should change first, and then I will turn you into a pornographic picture! 】

【】

So what about the picture?

[No picture, no truth??]

【Hurry up and post the picture!!!】

[Fast forward to turning all the group members into girls, and then becoming your porn pictures????]

[Just turning into a girl is not enough, it’s not cool enough!!]

【Why is there no picture? 】

However, the group members who were addicted to driving each other in their daily lives still did not realize the seriousness of the problem. As the silly group members shouted at each other in the group to turn each other into beautiful girls, everyone's mobile phones and computers emitted a burst of white light. Before the group members in front of the screen lost consciousness, they saw the last line of text, which was:

【All group members should turn into beautiful girls and post! ! ! !】

On the silvery-white beach, beside the dense forest on a deserted island in the sea, a purple-haired girl with a cross-shaped hair accessory on her head twitched her eyes as she looked at the three people standing in a circle in front of her.

"First of all, what is going on here? Can someone explain it to me? And who are you guys anyway?"

"I'm Aze. It seems like I've become my avatar?" The girl in the middle with a halo on her head who looks exactly like an Angel answered.

"So what are we doing?"

"It looks like they've traveled through time, and they've all become girls."

The girl with short white hair and dragon horns on her left head answered while looking at her slender hands and clenching them into fists.

"Look at your appearance...you are the Charcoal Grilled Renlong, right?"

"Yeah, you're Carlisle?"

"Yes, that's your idiot, commonly known as the leader."

The purple-haired girl with a cross-key hair ornament, who looked almost identical to Great Neptune, gave everyone a thumbs-up and grinned.

"Alright, alright. Everyone knows you're in charge of driving and being funny in the group chat. Let's first figure out how to survive on this deserted island with almost nothing, right?"

The purple-haired magical girl with a black bow hair accessory who had been silent the whole time said.

"Shouldn't time travel come with a built-in cheat code? Not to mention we're all traveling together!"

Aze, who looks like an angel, said this with an optimistic look on his face.

"Don't take things like this for granted, idiot!"

Kalisi looked at the extremely optimistic Sakota girl, covering her face helplessly, "After you became an angel, did your mind also become an angel?"

"However, didn't everyone feel like there was something wrong with their body from the beginning?" The white-haired dragon girl placed her hand on her chest and said seriously.

"What's wrong? Isn't it just a couple of extra lumps of fat on my chest? I'm a girl now, so it's not strange that my breasts are getting bigger, right?"

"No! It's a heartbeat! And a pulse!!" "I just realized that I can't feel any heartbeat or pulse in this body!"

"!!!"

.........

After a chaotic mutual body check...

"It seems like there really isn't one! Wait, there's absolutely no heartbeat or pulse. Doesn't that mean we're practically dead now?"

"At least we can still make fun of each other, which proves that we are still alive and well."

Carlisle calmly analyzed the current situation.

Upon hearing this, the white-haired dragon lady looked up at the sun in the sky and noticed something was wrong: "Wait a minute, the sun is so strong that a normal person would be sweating profusely after standing in the sun for so long. Why is it that we have been out in the sun for so long, let alone sweating profusely, and how come we don't even feel the heat at all?!"

"Yeah! Forget about the heat. I've been in the sun for so long and I don't even feel the temperature rising at all!"

…………

So... can this strange body with no heartbeat or pulse, and almost no ability to sense temperature changes, still be considered a human being?

When several people raised such a terrifying question, a young girl's voice suddenly sounded in everyone's mind, scaring several people present so much that they almost jumped up.

"Oops, I seem to have forgotten to give you the relevant knowledge and information. Sorry, I'll just cram it into your heads now."

Then, with the sound of something shattering, information and knowledge like a flood and tsunami instantly flooded into the minds of several people. The huge amount of information that came in at once made the four of them squat on the beach, covering their heads, unable to accept it for a while.

"So... our current body is actually... Gray Wind?"

"To be more precise, it is the sub-individuals of the nanomachine cluster that makes up Gray Wind." The pleasant girl's voice in my mind said

"By the way, let me introduce myself: I am the newly appointed Senior Star Governor of the Combined Fleet. You can call me Cabot."

"So what does a senior star governor of the United Fleet have to do with us traveling through time and being thrown onto this deserted island? Wait, wait, the United Fleet?!!! You actually exist?" Carlisle was shocked.

"Of course. I am the most famous and talented shipbuilder and senior star governor in the United Fleet. My talent and ability in designing new warships are unmatched."

"So what does this have to do with us being thrown onto this deserted island?"

"Of course, we've pulled you from your original world because we need your help with some tasks and missions."

"Wait a minute! Let me ask first. From what I've learned, isn't your combined fleet's technology and power nearly omnipotent? Why would you need the help of insignificant natives like us? Moreover, with the power to pull in people from other worlds and universes at will, why don't you seek out those more powerful than us?"

"Well... since I'm on vacation, I randomly picked a few of you to help me with some chores, including guiding and improving the interference of lower-level civilizations. Don't worry, there's no conspiracy."

Chapter 2: The group members who became Gray Wind tried to understand themselves

After confirming that Miss Cabot had indeed pulled everyone from another world simply to find some people to do chores and run errands for her during her vacation, and not to have any ulterior motives, the few people could only accept the fact that they had been transported to another world and would probably work for Miss Cabot and the combined fleet behind her. Although our great shipbuilder, Star Governor Cabot, repeatedly claimed that it was definitely not because she was too lazy to bother with such boring, entry-level novice missions as interfering in low-level civilizations, that she had captured several people from her original world to work for her, and used her status as a high-ranking Star Governor to guarantee that these unfortunate workers she had captured would receive sufficient wages and benefits.

After everyone fully realized that the guy who called himself Senior Star Governor and was talking in their heads might really just be a slacker and a corporate slave who wanted to slack off and take advantage of loopholes at work, several of them actually developed an inexplicable affinity for this guy.

"So, can't you find a way to communicate other than speaking directly into our heads?!!!"

"What's wrong? I think this method of communication is pretty good. It's efficient and convenient. If there's any complicated technical information or something that's inconvenient to say directly, I can just stuff it into your heads."

"You guys keep talking in my head, making me feel insecure and without any privacy!!!"

Kalisi shouted with a look of despair.

"Huh? So you guys can't accept this way of communicating? Then I'll try a different method. Don't scare me, please."

As Cabot finished speaking, Calisi found that her body and the bodies of several others suddenly glowed green. Green lines spread across their bodies, and several ribbons like silver sand separated from their bodies and met in mid-air not far away, forming a sphere made of silver sand suspended in mid-air, which kept changing and reshaping in mid-air, and finally transformed into a young girl with flaxen hair wearing a black combat uniform.

As the last bit of silver sand separated from the bodies of several people was absorbed by the flax-haired girl onto her outer clothes and assimilated into part of the black combat uniform, the girl opened her eyes and looked at the people in front of her.

"........."

"So you actually are the CV16 Lexington?"

"Actually, to be more precise, I'm Cabot, the shipgirl who inherited the name Lexington in the Combined Fleet. Of course, according to your understanding, that's fine too. But fundamentally, I'm very different from the shipgirls you know."

"So this means the Combined Fleet isn't just a figment of the imagination, huh?"

"Of course, the reason you have information about us is due to some kind of information disturbance and projection between different universes in the multiverse. Otherwise, how could you possibly be standing here talking to me in this body?"

"So you really turned us into gray wind?" Yuuna Yuuki, the purple-haired magical girl who was the fastest to accept and understand the current situation, said while grabbing her long purple hair by her ear and glancing at it.

"Each of you is now a collective consciousness, like Gray Wind, comprised of a vast number of nanomechanical sub-individuals. You can easily achieve telepathic communication, like I did before, speaking directly into your heads. As microscopic von Neumann-style self-replicators like Gray Wind, you can similarly utilize the properties of nanorobots to construct matter from the subatomic level down to the quark level, creating all the materials and equipment you need. I've already packaged and sent the instructions for this process to your brains and mind networks. Once you activate the protocols within your mind networks, you'll be able to control yourself and the nanomachines around you as easily as you control your own limbs."

"Wow, it really is! I feel like I can shape and change this thing in my hand as nimbly as my own fingers!"

As the protocol in his thought network was activated, Aze shouted in surprise as he watched the silver sand ball separate from his palm and float a few centimeters above his palm, constantly shaping into various geometric shapes as his thoughts changed.

"That's not all. I've also uploaded a multifunctional database onto your mind network that will allow you to easily create various technologies and equipment. There's a lot of good stuff in it."

Cabot looked at the people in front of him who were trying to use their own ideas to shape nanomachines into various shapes and uses and added.

After hearing what Cabot said, Calisi quickly found the so-called "database" on her mind network. The moment she opened it and read it, the content inside made Calisi, a technology geek and game geek, exclaim in surprise;

"Fuck! What the hell is this? No matter how you look at it, this is outrageous!!"

What appeared before Calisi ranged from the most basic and ordinary common mechanical equipment to a series of advanced technological equipment and products that were still in the laboratory stage, or even existed only in fictional works and imagination, from the most common steam engine internal combustion engine to the giant ultra-high power gas turbine and enriched uranium fission pressurized water reactor known as the jewel in the crown of industry, to the fast neutron fission breeder reactor and thorium-based molten salt reactor that almost only existed in laboratories and small-scale applications, as well as the deuterium-tritium controlled nuclear fusion reactor that was considered to exist only in fictional works and theories in the world before the time travel, and even the deuterium-deuterium reactor, deuterium-helium-3, pure helium-3 and even hydrogen-protium fusion reactor, which were almost considered impossible in engineering theory. In this database, almost all of them were manufacturable but lacked raw materials.

Chapter 3: Build Base X first, then eat

Carlisle looked at the production and manufacturing list in the huge database in front of her, which dazzled her. She kept flipping through and checking the information that almost felt like overloading her brain. As she flipped further, the things that appeared on the database list became more and more outrageous.

"Speaking of which, are you sure we can build these things listed as civilian weapons within the atmosphere?"

Kalisi asked with a twitch in her eye.

"You are now Gray Wind, a von Neumann-style self-replicator that exists only in theory and imagination, even within your civilization. You can even reconstruct and create matter that does not exist in reality, even at the most microscopic level of quarks. Don't underestimate yourselves now."

"But what the hell are these so-called civilian armaments within the atmosphere? Arsenal Bird, P1112 Aigaion, Gleipnir aerial fortress, SOLG strategic space-based railgun, OSL orbital satellite laser, Excalibur directed energy air defense weapon, Stonehenge orbital defense system, AtmosRing atmospheric ring ground-based pion cannon, Alicorn Alicorn-class submersible aviation cruiser, Banshee aerospace combat carrier, MQ101 multi-purpose combat drone, Arkbird SSTO aerospace multi-purpose transport platform. These things are extremely outrageous, let alone in reality, even in fictional games. And you tell me these things are "civilian" armaments within the atmosphere???"

"Um...actually, according to our standards, these should be considered...toys?"

Carlisle was about to retort, but then she remembered the technical prowess displayed by the Combined Fleet in the game that colored the galaxy, as well as a certain type of battleship with countless flaws designed by Miss Cabot, a self-proclaimed genius shipbuilder in the game. She decided to give up the retort and study her current strength and limits in depth.

"By the way, Miss Cabot, since you pulled us from another universe to do chores for you, shouldn't you at least tell us where we are?"

The white-haired dragon lady asked Cabot.

"Just call me Cabot. As for the planet you're on now, it's an Earth from a parallel universe that's extremely similar to the Earth you crossed over to, but slightly different in some respects. The island we're standing on is an uninhabited, deserted island in the Pacific equatorial region of this parallel Earth. As for other information, I didn't conduct a thorough investigation before coming here. I only know that this parallel Earth hasn't launched any artificial satellites or spacecraft, and no artificial aircraft has ever approached or reached an altitude above this planet's Karman line. Also... the path of technological development of the humans here might seem a little... strange to you?"

"Strange?" Aze asked, touching his chin.

"You'll understand this once you see it, and there's no need to worry too much. With your current bodies and strength, you're more than capable of protecting yourself in this world."

"However, although the power I've given you is sufficient to protect yourselves, I still suggest that, for both your own long-term safety and your future operations on this planet, you first build a base of operations with comprehensive infrastructure."

"Got it? It's just like an RTS game, so the first thing we have to do is actually farm?"

The purple-haired magical girl Yuuki said.

“You can understand it that way.”

Carly lowered her head to ponder Cabot's words, then raised her head and announced to everyone:

"Well, next, what we need to do is clear. Let's build a base of operations as the starting point for everything!"

"But before that, should we consider what to eat for dinner?" the white-haired dragon girl shouted, raising her right hand.

As Renlong asked the question, Aze's stomach started to growl.

"Kalici, I'm hungry too. How about we go to the woods and hunt some game?"

"If we all become nanomachines, will we still need to eat? Even if we just bask in the sun and convert it into heat energy, that would be enough to meet our energy needs, right?"

"Even if we don't need to eat right now and won't starve to death, we still have to satisfy basic needs like food, right?!"

"How about I try to make a fishing rod out of nanomachines and go fishing?"

The purple-haired girl Yuuki suggested.

"I don't think you can catch any fish with your skill and luck."

The white-haired dragon girl showed a questioning expression.

"Don't worry, I have my own way and I will definitely catch a fish." Yuki patted his chest and promised.

"Forget it, Aze. Since Yuki is going fishing, why don't we go to the woods and see if there's any edible game? Uh, what are you doing?"

Looking at Yuuki who was making a bet with Renlong on whether he could catch a fish, Carlisle turned and shouted to Aze, but found that Aze was concentrating on controlling a ball of silver-white nanomachines in his hand that was changing into a certain shape.

"Wait a moment, it will be ready soon."
