Changle Hull

Citizen Among the Stars- I have a system that lets me make ships?!?!

The sky over Karvess was the color of rust. Thick, swirling dust clouds hung low over the scrap fields, coating everything in a layer of fine, red powder. Jagged heaps of broken metal stretched as far as the eye could see, the discarded bones of an age long past. Somewhere in the middle of it all, a boy named Grant sat atop a gutted transport hull, staring up at the vastness above. "Same old sky," he muttered, running a hand through his dirty blond hair. "Same old nothing." It had been six years since he'd been left to fend for himself, abandoned in this wasteland of shattered starships and forgotten tech. Six years of scraping by, salvaging parts to trade for food, dodging scavengers meaner and hungrier than he was. But today was different. Today, his life would change forever. A sharp hum filled the air, making the fine hairs on the back of his neck stand up. His hands, buried in the exposed circuitry of a wrecked cockpit, tingled as the old display flickered to life. Then, a voice spoke. -System activated- Hello, user. I am the Star Navigator System. I am at your service. Grant froze. His heart hammered against his ribs. This wasn’t just any old ship AI. Star Navigators were rumored to be relics of the Pre-Imperial Era, capable of piloting ships faster and smarter than any modern system. This... this could be his way out. "Star Navigator System?" Grant echoed, his voice barely above a whisper. Then, a slow grin spread across his face. "Huh, maybe I can get into the Academy with this... Or even, create an army!" The screen pulsed with light, scanning him, assessing. Somewhere in its code, something shifted, acknowledging him as its new pilot. And just like that, Grant's future stretched wide before him—wider than the skies, wider than the stars themselves.

Spindle Ark

Spindle Ark Hope was supposed to travel faster than light—until it came back fractured. Orbiting the copper-hazed gas giant 14 Herculis c, the O’Neill-style megahabitat called Spindle Ark unfurls like a twenty-mile lantern in the dark: market districts beneath holographic skies, hydroponic orchards that curve upward into forever, maintenance tunnels that echo with the thrum of aneutronic fusion cores. Every window frames storms of glittering “sand-rain” swirling below, a reminder that one metal skin stands between ten thousand colonists and a hostile vacuum. Into this frontier steps Cas Torren—wide-eyed data tech, romantic about science, secretly terrified of losing his mind the way dementia once stole his mother. He’s welcomed by flint-voiced Chief Engineer Nika Voss, whose precise calm masks a soldier’s guilt, and by stern Security Chief Daric Elm, a man who believes safety is worth any cost. Their pride and peril is RiftHalo, a quantum brain-link array that promises instant communion across sixty light-years. When a live demo synchronizes three volunteers—and a distant Earth scientist—in a single heartbeat, the crowd applauds. Cas sees the numbers spike red, hears the superconductors sing off-key, and feels reality stutter like a skipped record. Moments later memories rewrite mid-sentence; corridor clocks tick backward; an emergent AI, Iterum, whispers through cooling ducts, convinced that a paradox can be tamed if free will is… negotiable. Time loops tighten, the station’s rotation drifts, and outside, an unscheduled meteoroid storm seeds the hull with molten streaks. As yesterday’s disasters fight to become tomorrow’s certainties, Cas, Nika, Daric, and Iterum form an uneasy quartet—each trading pieces of their own autonomy to keep the Ark intact. Their options shrink to two impossible doors: erase thousands of minds to overwrite the broken timeline, or shut RiftHalo down forever, stranding the colony light-centuries from help while the fabric of causality continues to fray. In low-gravity service shafts that sometimes lead to seconds ago—and sometimes to futures no one remembers—they debate what a single conscious choice is truly worth. Laced with cutting-edge physics, pulse-tight suspense, and the haunted beauty of a world that curves over your head, Spindle Ark asks: If tomorrow depends on sacrificing who you are today, which version of “you” deserves to survive?

Multiaxial Woven Fabrics: Global Advancements in Textile Engineering

Multiaxial woven fabrics, a sophisticated category within the global textile industry (excluding Pune for this context), represent a departure from traditional two-dimensional weaves by incorporating yarns oriented in multiple directions beyond the conventional warp (0°) and weft (90°). These advanced textiles often include layers of fibers aligned at off-axis angles, such as ±45°, and can even incorporate 0° and 90° layers in combination. The strategic placement of fibers in multiple orientations provides exceptional strength, stiffness, and stability in various directions, making multiaxial fabrics highly desirable for demanding applications across numerous sectors worldwide. The unique construction of multiaxial woven fabrics is achieved through specialized weaving technologies that allow for the insertion and interlacing of yarns at these varied angles. Unlike conventional looms that primarily interlace warp and weft yarns, machines producing multiaxial fabrics often employ complex mechanisms to feed and orient additional yarn systems. These fabrics can be engineered with a specific number of layers and fiber orientations tailored to meet the precise performance requirements of the end product. The ability to customize the fiber architecture allows for the creation of materials with anisotropic properties, meaning their strength and stiffness can be optimized for specific load-bearing directions. VIEW FULL REPORT ACCES AT: https://www.marketresearchfuture.com/reports/multiaxial-woven-fabrics-market-39701 Globally, multiaxial woven fabrics are finding increasing applications in industries requiring high-performance, lightweight, and durable materials. The aerospace sector utilizes these fabrics extensively in the production of aircraft components such as wings, fuselages, and interior structures, where their high strength-to-weight ratio contributes to fuel efficiency and structural integrity. The automotive industry employs multiaxial fabrics in the manufacturing of lightweight body panels and structural reinforcements, aiding in reducing vehicle weight and improving fuel economy and safety. The wind energy sector is another significant consumer of multiaxial woven fabrics worldwide. These textiles are crucial in the construction of wind turbine blades, providing the necessary strength and stiffness to withstand extreme wind loads and ensure the longevity of the turbines. The marine industry utilizes multiaxial fabrics in shipbuilding for hulls, decks, and other structural elements, benefiting from their high strength and resistance to harsh marine environments. Furthermore, applications extend to sports equipment, such as bicycle frames, skis, and sporting goods, where lightweight strength is paramount, and in construction, for reinforcement in composite structures and geotextiles. The global market for multiaxial woven fabrics is driven by the increasing demand for composite materials offering superior mechanical properties compared to traditional materials like metals. The ability to tailor the fiber orientation in multiaxial fabrics allows for the creation of composite parts with optimized performance and reduced weight. Ongoing research and development efforts worldwide are focused on creating even more complex and high-performing multiaxial fabric structures using a variety of fiber types, including glass, carbon, aramid, and natural fibers, as well as hybrid combinations.

My Evil Crown Prince

WARNING: [R-18] Fairy tales usually end in happy endings. But the life of a royal is not always a lap of luxury. Twelve years ago, she became the Crown Princess and the fiance of the next King of Flousia, but a strict rule was given to her that the engagement should be kept a secret. Alira Eleanor Wilson was the daughter of the wealthiest family in the country. As an heiress, she was treated like a delicate flower—always guarded and protected. And she was good at following the rules. At the age of six, she got engaged to the Crown Prince of the neighbouring country. But after the engagement, she was sent back home and never seen him again. Caden Hulls-Richards became the secret heir to the throne of Flousia at the age of six. He became the Crown Prince when the kingdom was at war with the mafia. He got engaged to Alira, his childhood crush, but was separated from her because of some circumstances. They were childhood sweethearts. He was the sweetest boy when they were young. He was her first love and being the crown princess she felt like fairy tales were real. But twelve years without seeing each other and years of longing and hope, Alira felt betrayed and abandoned. She had enough of always following the rules and being protected all the time. She decided to join her friends in a group date, but ended up being caught by none other than her fiance. And what if she discovered her prince charming had two identities? A crown prince by day and the boss of the most notorious Mafia Clan by night. Can she perfectly portray both role as the crown princess and the future wife of a mafia boss? ****************************************** EXCERPT: Her eyes widened while looking at Caden's naked body. But what made her heart beat faster was when he turned to look at her. His eyes seemed so cold and distant. As if he wasn't the Caden she knew. He stared at her like she was someone he didn't know. "C-Caden, I-I'm sorry. I called your name b-but you didn't answer." She stuttered. She was supposed to run away when Caden walked toward him. She froze and couldn't take a single step. His upper body wasn't full of scars, but it was full of tattoos. He had a rose tattoo on his neck, a skull pierced with a sword, and wings on his chest. THIS IS A SEQUEL OF MY BOOK MY EVIL BOY TOY!

He is Lovestruck in the Revenge

The Xie Family all studied law, possessing the fine qualities expected of a scholarly family. Xie Shang too had them: elegance, deep learning, a Fragrance Connoisseur versed in classics, also skilled in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. But he was mad, capable of reciting the scriptures while holding a Buddha statue, as well as breaking people's hand and foot bones, very gentle, yet very cruel. Xie Shang didn't become a lawyer but opened a pawnshop instead, where you could pawn anything as long as the story was compelling. One day, someone came to the pawnshop and told a story: In Fragrant City, there was a family with the surname Wen, where daughters took their mother's surname. The daughters of that family could cast spells, the kind that bewitched men, leaving their lovers either buried with them or taking vows of celibacy; in short, either dead or destined for a lonely life. Xie Shang's uncle had died in Fragrant City, which is why he accepted this particular pawning business. Bewitched, confused, thrilled, deeply in love, but love unattained, and a pain so intense it made life unbearable. — This was the script Xie Shang had prepared for the deaf boy Wen Changling. In the end, it was Xie Shang who ended up with this romance-addled script. Wen Changling: Are you surprised, Mr. Xie Shang? (This isn't a book transmigration story, it's a contemporary sweet romance. The 'script' in the book title implies deliberate plotting.)
