CHAPTER 513: CHAPTER 278: "SIMPLY A GENIUS IDEA."_3

After all, the production lines are theirs, so adding a bit of customization is perfectly normal.

...

Once all the residents returned orderly to the Resident Carriage, the Constant Star Train began to start slowly, ready to go home.

This is the downside of having many people.

Getting on and off the train is such a hassle. If there’s too much iron ore in the future, each person should just have a "train ticket" and crush the ticket to return to the train, which would be really convenient, though it feels a bit like taking your pants off only to fart, self-defeating.

The next moment—

A giant Teleportation Gate slowly appeared in front of the train.

The Constant Star Train didn’t stop, it crashed directly into it!

The scene opened up before them.

The familiar sun.

The familiar wasteland.

The familiar air.

And... the familiar zombies.

"Haven’t seen zombies for a long time."

Chen Mang glanced at the control panel screen, looking at the zombies crushed by the train, and sighed, "It feels kind of nostalgic."

Although the space has no monsters, it’s extremely safe, but that’s not good either.

After all, the armor on his train is Level 17 now!

He worked so hard to upgrade the train armor to protect against monsters. If the monsters are gone, what is he defending against? What’s the point of upgrading the armor if there’s no sense of achievement?

Some monsters are necessary.

Just not too strong...

The Constant Star Train slowly drove out of the Teleportation Gate, resettling on the wasteland, taking a day off today, and heading to Neon City at midnight to hold a wedding for two couples. After the wedding, the train can be upgraded to Level 15.

Then...

"My little Xiaolv."

Chen Mang picked up the little Xiaolv on the chair beside him, playing with it in his hands, constantly fiddling with its soft mouth, "You can wake up soon, after sleeping for so long, it’s time to come out and stretch."

Then he turned his attention to the Train Radio.

To see if anyone had contacted him in the month he had gone missing.

No one contacted him.

Even Er Dan didn’t send him any messages, obviously everything went smoothly, nothing gained, Er Dan only contacted him if there was an unsolvable problem or a gain, but Er Dan hadn’t even come to Neon City these past few days, so there was indeed nothing major.

He casually sent an invitation to Er Dan.

Inviting him to join the "Fucking Everything" fleet.

Soon!

Er Dan sent a message.

"Master Mang, who named this fleet?"

"I did."

"Great name, so bold! It’s obviously your style, Master Mang!"

"Spray the fleet prefix on your carriage with paint."

"Huh?"

"What, is there a problem?"

"Not really, it’s just that my ’Traveling Frog’ only has one train head, not even expanded, just a tiny train head. Won’t spraying so many words make it look a bit crowded?"

"Spray it even if it’s crowded."

"Alright, no problem!"

Excited voices soon came through the Train Radio from Er Dan again: "By the way, Master Mang, was that Neon City your doing? I went in there once, dear gosh, I haven’t seen such a modern city in ages, especially with the Fixed Star Coupons, made my few thugs itch."

"They kept asking me when they could have a formal status, with a resident panel of Fixed Star and Fixed Star Coupons."

"Master Mang, you should have seen it."

"Those thugs of mine held their heads high, acting like they owned Neon City, when in fact... I kind of want a resident panel too, otherwise, I always feel a bit distant from the Constant Star Train."

"That’s not urgent; we’ll discuss it later. I’ll figure something out."

"Oh, tonight Neon City is opening; remember to come. There’s a wedding with directional guides, tonight, two couples are getting married on my train."

Chen Mang added another line before hanging up the communication.

After pondering for a moment, he spoke: "The iris chip can’t be used by other Train Members, right?"

"No."

Ai, standing beside him, shook her head and said, "The iris chip can only be used by train residents, and train residents must be near me; otherwise, real-time updates can’t be done. Er Dan and his group are so far from me, so real-time updates are impossible."

"Unless..."

"Unless they first transfer to be Fixed Star Train’s residents, then have the iris chip implanted, so even when they go back to Traveling Frog, as long as they come near the Fixed Star Train, I can connect to their iris chip for real-time data updates."

"That can work too."

Chen Mang nodded, "Next time Er Dan and his group come over, let’s implant iris chips for them all. What Er Dan said makes sense; without a resident panel, it feels a bit distant from the Fixed Star Train."

"With the iris chip, although remote updates can’t be done, at least when returning to Fixed Star Train, there’s a sense of home, making it easier for me to reward them with Fixed Star Coupons."

"In distant scenarios, although real-time updates can’t be done, the resident panel can still pop up, right?"

"Yes."

"That’s enough, remember this, remind me if I forget about it later."

...

The mining trip ended.

The "Cyber Mine" had been running for over ten days now, and after obtaining that Level 9 iron ore, there was nothing gained in the remaining six days.

No.

Can’t say there was nothing gained.

Brought out a Level 9 pickaxe.

This thing, you say it’s useless, but this Level 9 pickaxe is quite expensive, just its look is different, extremely heavy yet semi-transparent, needs to be forged from the "Pickaxe Production Line," and quite a fortune is needed.

But you say it’s useful...

The highest-level ore encountered in reality is Level 4 ore, not even seen Level 5 ore, where to find Level 9 ore, this thing definitely won’t be used in the short term.

Selling it is impossible.

Who can buy a Level 9 pickaxe?

He really wants to know, which train can find Level 9 iron ore? Where did they find it? How come he can’t find it?

However—

He’s not in a hurry.

After this Neon City event ends, while upgrading to a Level 15 train, he plans to expand the "Cyber Mine" once again, low probability only has one reason, which is the number not being enough.

As long as the quantity is increased, he doesn’t believe in this probability issue at all.

There’s still some time before it gets dark.

The residents lay around the train in the wilderness, chatting noisily and sharing their aspirations for the future, after all, this was a purple zone, where the highest could be a Level 15 monster, not many trains dared to let their residents lie around chatting in the wilderness.

An accident and it could be a major casualty incident.

But, the Constant Star Train, fears nothing.

All the Black Hole Armored Robots began patrolling the boundaries, as for Biaozi and others, they were still in the Combat Training Virtual Space, they had been practicing for a full month, and the results were impressive.

...

Inside the train room.

Chen Mang stood before the control panel, looking up at the Viper Unmanned Combat Aircraft still circling overhead, speaking softly: "Looks like no one’s hands are idle."

"No, someone must have had idle hands."

Ai said quietly, "The Viper Unmanned Combat Aircraft’s Level 4 Energy Stone has only 72% capacity left."

"Without the Mechanical Eye, I can’t understand the combat process. The drone’s power supply comes from the solar energy panels on its wings, it doesn’t consume the Energy Stone’s capacity, but without the Mechanical Eye, I’m not sure what happened during the operation."

"Why is it still flying there then, if it was attacked, it should have crashed already, I remember its defense is only Level 4."

"The Viper Unmanned Combat Aircraft does have low Energy Stone capacity at only 72%, which indicates it’s fired before, but without the Mechanical Eye, I can’t know what the combat was."

"If someone did attack it, but since it’s still flying, that means they missed."

"Defense is indeed low, but its maximum speed is something. It’s 5040 km/h, and without anything hitting it, it will still fly there unaffected."

"Is it that powerful?"

"Yes, indeed, the highest speed is 5040 km/h, even if it would break upon contact, they would have to catch it first."

"Is it really that weak?"

Chen Mang sighed deeply, the purple zone is only one level lower than the red zone, yet the trains in these two regions have such a significant power difference, in the red zone, each train is a powerhouse.

"Truly weak."

Standing beside him, Ai shook her head: "This Viper Unmanned Combat Aircraft has only 72% capacity left for the Level 4 Energy Stone."

"Without the Mechanical Eye, I don’t know how the battle progressed."

"Are there few that can defeat a Constant Star Train’s battle machine at high speeds."

"Really weak."

Chen Mang sighed, there was only one level difference between the purple and red zones, yet the battle ability of the trains in the two zones was so different. In the red zone, each train had much more firepower."

But it’s enough.

After returning from this trip to Neon City, he’ll recycle these lower-level guards and then create a batch of high-level robots, Level 20 should suffice.

Then heading into the red zone, both flying in the sky, running underground.

He will have it all.
