My Doomsday Train.

Chapter 292 Gray-grade Accessories.

After the Stellar train is upgraded to level 19, in addition to this new function, it also gains two more craftable parts.
-
"Wheel Changer": A red-grade accessory that requires 50000 units of iron ore to craft.

"Special Materials Research and Development Line": Gray-grade accessory, requires 10 units of iron ore to craft. This accessory is a special accessory and cannot be upgraded.
-
Only these two accessories are available.

The first accessory was already quite familiar to him; he had obtained this red-grade accessory with a rare train token, and it was very useful, allowing for seamless wheel replacement. However, the second accessory...
"."

Chen Mang frowned slightly as he looked at the accessory panel.

The effect is——

It can create "special" materials, provided that such materials are available as samples, and can be made by consuming iron ore.

such as
The material is called "titanium alloy steel". With the current technology of trains, it is definitely impossible to create this material. However, if this material is used as a sample in the "Special Materials Research and Development Line", it can be mass-produced by consuming iron ore.

"This"

He stood there, stunned, and the scenario of using this accessory almost instantly flashed into his mind.

Currently, the "Cosmic Receiver" has 10 "receiving devices" and produces 480 million units of iron ore per day. The main limitation in manufacturing the "receiving devices" is the material, which is crucial if this special material can be mass-produced.

That means the "receiving device" can be mass-produced.

With 10 receiving devices, the daily mining output is 480 million units of iron ore.

What about 100? 1000? Or even 100,000?
This accessory might not be very useful on other trains, but on this one, it's a game-changer!
Moreover, this was the first gray accessory he had ever encountered.

Not upgradable?

"."

Chen Mang, somewhat skeptical, activated level 0 privileges, intending to try and force an upgrade. The next moment—
-
"You have consumed 270 million units of iron ore to upgrade the 'Special Materials Research Line' to level 10."

"And achieve two supermodel effects."

"Special Material R&D Line Level 5 Supermodel Effect": Reduces iron ore consumption by half when manufacturing special materials.

"Special Material R&D Line Level 10 Supermodel Effect": Reduces iron ore consumption by half when manufacturing special materials.
-
Two consecutive supermodel effects that reduce consumption by half.

Can't this be upgraded?!
Who said it can't be upgraded?

The resources required for crafting and upgrading are basically the same as those required for upgrading red-grade accessories.

"Xiao Ai."

Does the database contain information about gray-grade products?

"some."

Inside the train, Xiao Ai's voice rang out: "Gray-grade accessories are special accessories and are not among the white to rainbow grades."

"All components are created by scientists of a mechanical civilization who, by sealing a manufactured weapon within a 'component blueprint,' enable its rapid, mass production."

"for example--"

"Building a lithography machine consumes a lot of resources and is difficult to mass-produce. However, you can encapsulate it in 'component blueprints,' allowing others to build a lithography machine by investing certain resources, even without technical expertise."

"Different components consume different amounts of resources depending on their strength."

"The supermodel effect is a deduction, it's completely random."

The scientific name is "Cosmic Empowerment."

"It's essentially 'completely random and uncontrollable.'"

"When a component blueprint is created, no one knows what its overpowered effect will be. It exists randomly under the core energy. It may be very strong, very weak, or even non-existent. It is completely uncontrollable."

"At this stage, the blueprint for the accessory is the 'Original Accessory Blueprint'."

"After repeatedly copying this component blueprint, it becomes the original component blueprint we encounter. At first, it is only copied on a small scale. Scientists of the mechanical civilization will use the copied component blueprint to manufacture a component and upgrade it to level 10 or 20 to see what the supermodel effect is."

"If the supermodel effect is good, keep the original design of this accessory and put it on the market for widespread use."

"If the supermodel effect is poor, destroy the original accessory image, recreate the original accessory image, and obtain the random supermodel effect again."

Generally speaking—

"Neither the colorful accessories nor the white accessories will receive this treatment."

"The process of testing the supermodel effect requires Murphy Stones. White accessories don't need Murphy Stones to test the supermodel effect; as long as they work, that's fine. Even if they don't have any, it doesn't matter. For example, even the Mechanical Civilization doesn't know what the level 100 supermodel effect of the 'Refrigerator' is."

"Because in the entire mechanical civilization, even a princess would not upgrade a refrigerator to level 100, nor would anyone have that much free time."

"The Seven-Colored Accessories won't use Murphy Stones to test their over-the-top effect. Scientists in the Mechanical Civilization need to consume a lot of resources and time to develop a weapon or accessory that is judged to be 'Seven-Colored Grade,' and it's difficult to manufacture a second one in a short time. Therefore, even if the over-the-top effect of the first one is unsatisfactory after it's sealed in the 'Accessory Blueprint,' it won't be replaced in the short term."

Perhaps it's because there's a lot of information.

Xiao Ai paused for a moment before continuing, "It's worth mentioning that the 'Doomsday Machine Gun,' an accessory hailed as a beginner's must-have by all trains, was reworked 43 times before finally obtaining three 'half-cost' overpowered effects."

"With its blue-grade accessories, it can rival or even surpass some yellow and even red-grade firepower accessories."

"The entire remake process consumed 645 Murphy Stones. Even for a mechanical civilization, this is a considerable expense. The mechanical civilization is developing many kinds of parts at the same time, and it is impossible to put all the resources into one part."

"."

Chen Mang sat in his chair, lost in thought for a long time before softly saying, "I basically understand. It means the supermodel effect of the 'Original Part Image' is completely random, and if the randomly generated supermodel effect isn't satisfactory, the supermodel effect can be re-selected by remaking the original part image."

"And the biggest cost inside."

"Is it the Murphy Stones spent on detecting the supermodel effect of the original image of the accessories?"

"Yes."

"If I can upgrade indefinitely, can I ignore this cost?"

"That's it."

"Theoretically speaking, I can randomly generate a supermodel effect that perfectly matches the requirements of the Stellar, as long as there are enough explorations."

"Yes."

"Even a weapon with a seven-color accessory, as long as I detect it enough times, can guarantee that its overpowered effect from level 5 to level 500 will halve the ammunition consumption."

“It’s possible,” Xiao Ai continued, “but the prerequisite is that we need a research team like the mechanical civilization, with a large number of research chips, high computing power, rare materials, and massive amounts of experimental data, etc. It’s a very troublesome thing.”

"Trouble?"

Chen Mang suddenly laughed.

"If it's a research team, isn't the leader on the island a university professor?"

"Research chips, isn't that your little brother, Xiao Yi, the one?"

"Your computing power should be enough, right? If not, I'll upgrade you to level 500."

"Can't rare materials be created through a 'specialty materials research and development line'?"

"A massive amount of experimental data can be obtained from the ruins of mechanical civilization."

"Although there are difficulties, there are always solutions."

"Of course not."

Xiao Ai said quietly, "It's a bit far-fetched for a research team to rely on a university professor from a third-rate civilization. And what if he teaches philosophy? I'm talking about a large number of research chips. Currently, the Stellar train only has one research chip."

"My computing power is indeed not enough at level 100 if I need to manage these things."

"The specialty materials research and development line can create rare materials, but it also requires material samples."

"This is very difficult to achieve."

"But there's always a chance."

After pondering for a moment, Chen Mang said, "There will be opportunities to achieve this in the future. I'm entrusting you with leading this matter. You should first select some researchers and train them based on the basic information in the database."

"Go check how much iron ore is needed to build 1 'receiving devices'."

“A maximum of 100,” Xiao Ai explained. “The ‘Cosmic Receiver’ can only have a maximum of 100 receiving devices. Any more than that, and we’ll have to build an additional ‘conversion device’ within the Cosmic Receiver.”

"Building a conversion device is difficult to do for the time being."

"Then let's make 90 first. Also, did you mention what gray-grade accessories are?"

"It's not finished yet."

Xiao Ai continued, "Among all the quality-grade accessories, there is an extremely special type called 'gray-grade accessories.' In other words, they are also semi-failed products. They possess certain effects, but an unknown accident occurred during the blueprint creation process."

"This prevents it from upgrading and obtaining the supermodel effect."

"is it?"

"Yes, that's how it is normally. Your situation is an exception, though. Gray-grade parts, even at level one, often have good effects, but they are extremely rare. After all, most gray-grade parts are recycled."

"Only a small number of gray accessories with truly precious raw materials, and even those at level one can have a very strong effect, will have their original designs preserved and reproduced for the market."

"The gray accessory is very strong at level one, not because it was born that way."

"Only gray parts that are strong at level one can be kept; the rest are all reworked."

"clear."

Chen Mang let out a soft breath, lit a cigarette, leaned back in his chair, and looked at the string of information on the control panel screen. Perhaps it was because he had been a little tired these days, but he felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and he had a drowsy feeling that made him want to sleep.

He just lay there on the chair.

He sank into the back of the chair.

His chair wasn't the kind you see at a dining table; it was more like a spaceship chair, semi-enclosed, which would effectively protect the train conductor even in the event of an impact.

In a daze.

He fell asleep, and in his dream he didn't think about the original design of the parts, but he vaguely remembered his first love when he was 16.

That.
It feels like such a long time ago.

Back then, he could truly love someone. Relationships after graduating from university are often quite tragic. Two people who meet and get together in society, even if they get along well, lose the ability to fully love someone.

Both of them once had someone in their hearts whom they loved with 100% of their heart.

Just getting by.

Almost there.

Xiao Fang came up from inside the train, carefully picked up a blanket and covered Chen Mang with it, then tiptoed back down again.

"What a scheming woman."

Xiao Ai, who was in the "Mech R&D Center" in carriage number 2, couldn't help but sigh when he saw this. He checked the surveillance footage of Xiao Fang's interactions with everyone these days, but found no one giving Xiao Fang advice or anything like that.

She seems to have become much more cunning.

A bowl of scallion oil noodles made the train conductor so happy that he was immediately promoted to the treatment of a second-level senior talent.

Was it really not a deliberate act, but a genuine desire to do so, a childlike heart?
He doesn't understand humans.

From an AI perspective, however, he felt that Xiaofang's words on the train that day were a bit too mercenary, especially her statement about borrowing some Stellar Coupons to make just one bowl of noodles.
It sounds and feels very strange.

He didn't believe the train conductor hadn't noticed; he just hadn't paid attention.

Also.

Inside the train, everyone tries to curry favor with the train conductor, isn't it all for the sake of higher status and better treatment?
Thinking about it this way, he felt very noble, even though he had no such thoughts at all.

Xiao Ai shrugged at herself in the mirror before walking toward the "Special Materials R&D Line" in the distance, preparing to create a batch of materials for manufacturing receivers. Last time, the train conductor said that his shrug gesture was poorly designed.

This time he made some adjustments.

It looks pretty good.

Its daybreak.

After waking up from his chair, Chen Mang went into the shower to wash up before sitting back down, lighting a cigarette and looking at the train log. He had fallen asleep in the chair again last night.

The train log contained no noteworthy information.

Just a little bit.

His progress on all aspects of the Civilization Order has increased significantly.

"Humanities Progress": Increased from 62% to 78%.

"Cultural Progress": Increased from 77% to 89%.

"Military progress": increased from 78% to 84%.

"Agricultural Progress": Increased from 37% to 61%.

"Institutional Progress": Increased from 87% to 92%.

Once all five progress points reach 100%, human civilization can be rebuilt. Of course, the rebuilt civilization will not be a Level 1 civilization, as upgrading to Level 1 is quite difficult. This progress needs to be completed as soon as possible.

After rebuilding the "Blue Planet Civilization," he became the legitimate leader of this planet's civilization.

They possess many of the privileges that only leaders of civilizations have.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to take everyone off the planet. There are at least hundreds of millions of survivors on this planet. Assuming a minimum food standard of 1 unit of iron ore per day for each planet, it would consume hundreds of millions of units of iron ore every day.

He brought these survivors onto the train, but there were no mines to dig, and not many jobs available in the neon city; it was just a waste of their time.

This is something he has been thinking about.

I don't know what to do with these survivors.

How other civilizations did it.

Is it solely based on Dream Stone?
The increase in agricultural progress is quite astonishing, mainly due to the orchard that Uncle Li set up in the breeding carriage, which significantly accelerated the progress.

Stretched.

Chen Mang lazily stepped off the train, looked at the almost barren island, and walked towards the robots working hard nearby. He planned to upgrade the train again and head to the pink area after this batch of ore was mined.

Arrive in the Rainbow Zone as soon as possible.

It's not long-winded at all.

Ten days later.

All mines in the golden area "Deep Sea Island" have been successfully mined.

共有2座6级铁矿，1座6级铜矿，和二十多座5级、4级矿等等。

23 billion units of iron ore alone have been mined.

A figure that is almost astronomical.

Add to that the profits from Neon City, "Cyber ​​Mine," and "Cosmic Receiver" these days, and the train's resources have reached an astronomical figure!
"28.12 billion units of iron ore, 14 billion units of timber, 21.1 billion units of copper ore, 10.54 billion units of red rock, and 10 billion units of titanium concentrate."
-
The resources inside the Stellar have never been so abundant.

He had been on this isolated island for more than half a month and had already mined all the mines here. The fastest mine to respawn was a level 5 mine, which would be available in 13 days, but he wasn't going to wait any longer.

Head quickly to the "pink area".

It is also the last area before the seven-colored area.

These days—

A lot of follow-up work was done, such as explaining the situation in the outside world to all the survivors on the island, implanting resident numbers under the resident chips, etc. A total of more than 7000 survivors joined the Star.

Treat everyone equally, starting with the three levels of resident treatment.

Every era has its own period of opportunity and advantages.

Now that residents no longer need to mine, improving their benefits has become a difficult task.

Second.

All the large metal cans resembling amoxicillin on the island were stuffed into the train, and even the trees in the center of the island were transplanted into the 100-level "space gate" of carriage number 10.

They took everything they could.

Even the squirrels, earthworms, rabbits, and other creatures in the forest were all taken away, one by one. These creatures will live quite freely in the future, not to cultivate "star behemoths," but simply to protect the remaining ecology of the Blue Planet, which may never be seen again.

And today!
The day has come for us to set sail and leave this island.

What he needs to do now is to upgrade the "train" armor again. The train's armor is currently at level 20, so he needs to upgrade it to level 21 first.

The highest monster level in the gold zone is level 21.

Theoretically, he originally had level 20 armor, which was still somewhat dangerous in this area, but unfortunately he encountered no monsters and his armor was completely useless.

The highest monster level in the pink area is already level 24.

Monsters of this level still pose a considerable threat to the train.

It's not enough to just look at the level; you also have to consider whether the monster's skills are effective against the Stellar.

"."

Chen Mang narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the control panel screen.

The price of upgrading a carriage from level 17 to level 18 is 3000 million.

The price of upgrading a carriage from level 18 to level 19 is 5000 million.

Upgrading from level 19 to level 20, the price of one carriage is 1 million.

The range is enormous!

In particular, the price doubled when upgrading from level 19 to level 20, but the requirements for upgrading to level 21 were much lower, requiring only 1.2 million units of iron ore.

It only costs 19.2 billion.

After the upgrade material consumption is halved, it will cost 9.6 million units of iron ore.

When the 9.6 million units of iron ore inside the train melted into powder, the level of the "armor" accessory slowly reached level 21. This made people feel safer even when they went to the pink area. Level 21 armor can still bring a lot of security.

For example, if he were to encounter the same map again, he would simply stand still and not move, and not a single monster could break through his defenses, even though the real challenge of that map was how to kill all the zombies in a short time.

Perhaps there was enough iron ore inside the train.

Upgrading the "armor" components is always the biggest expense on the train, but even after upgrading the train's armor to the next level, there's still a whopping 18.52 billion units of iron ore. That's too much.

That's more than enough to get promoted to the next level.

"."

After pondering for a moment, Chen Mang decided to upgrade his armor by one level. Level 21 might not be enough in the pink zone, and level 22 would be about right. At this level, even a level 24 monster wouldn't be able to destroy the armor instantly.

And in this short period of time.

That was enough for his nine "Doomsday Machine Guns" to start roaring.

Since the two-headed monster destroyed one of his Doomsday Machine Guns in the train tunnel, he hasn't been able to replace it with a new one.

We've always just made do with it like this.

Let's save some resources for now.

Wait for the train to reach the Rainbow Zone, get the Rainbow-grade weapon, and then upgrade it.

Upgrade the armor again!
After he made his decision, some of the iron ore in storage car number 3 was consumed and incorporated into the car, thus raising the train's armor level to 22!
This upgrade consumed another 11.2 billion units of iron ore.

The little bit of savings we had just accumulated has been almost completely depleted, leaving us with only 7.32 million units of iron ore!

We'll keep these points for upgrading the train and for backup purposes; we won't upgrade the armor for now.

Level 22 armor is sufficient for the time being.

"."

He looked toward the upgrade requirements for the train to level 20.
-
"Upgrade Requirements": Consume 11 units of level 3 iron ore, all components in the carriage must be level 300 or higher, and any one train defense component and any one train attack component must each be level 18 or higher.
-
"It's over."

This was his first reaction upon seeing the upgrade requirements. The first few conditions were met and were quite simple. Only the last condition was that any one of the train's defensive components had reached level 18.

According to what he saw in the red area.

Most of the defensive components for Doomsday Train are difficult to reach level 18, and there are very few even at level 15 or 16.

This condition is extremely demanding.

The higher the grade of the accessory, the more iron ore it requires to upgrade.

The "Steel Armor for Train Carriages" accessory is a green accessory, which consumes very few resources. In addition, it has the super-powerful effect of halving the manufacturing cost. Even his train's defensive accessories are so difficult to upgrade, let alone others.

His current armor level is only 22.

How tall can the others be? Can they be taller than him? If nothing unexpected happens, there shouldn't be many people left in the pink area.

soon--

After 1100 million units of iron ore were crushed inside the train car, a familiar line of text appeared on the screen.
-
"Your train has been upgraded to level 20."

"No more craftable accessories have been unlocked yet."
-
Class 20 train!
Upgrading the train to Tier 20 doesn't add any new features or craftable parts; it's the same as usual. Aside from a slight change in train speed, there's basically nothing else different.

Is it excessive?

Chen Mang looked thoughtfully at the control panel. After entering the golden area "Deep Sea Island", he upgraded his train to level 19. Once he reached level 21, he should head to the pink area to upgrade his train again.

Level 10 is a hurdle.

He originally thought that level 20 would be a hurdle.

But to everyone's surprise, there was nothing there.

He then looked at the upgrade requirements for the Level 21 train. There were almost no changes, except that the upgrade required an additional 100 million units of iron ore. Apart from that, there were no other requirements.

That being the case.

Chen Mang didn't hesitate. After consuming another 1200 million units of iron ore, the familiar scene reappeared on the train control panel screen.

"Your train has been upgraded to level 21."

"No more craftable accessories have been unlocked yet."

"It seems."

He stretched lazily in his chair. The next hurdle was level 22, and the train mission to reach level 22 was significantly more difficult. Even the Stellar was not satisfied with that. This should be the hurdle encountered when upgrading the train to level 22 in the pink area.

There's one more special one.

"Use a 'doomsday death certificate' to hold a memorial service."

He has already sent people to Japan to buy this thing.

Anyway, he had never seen this thing before.

I wonder if this thing can be received in Japanese cities.

If we don't receive it, it will be difficult to upgrade to a level 22 train in a short period of time.

However, he can take his time and not rush things. What he needs to do now is go to the "pink area." The gold area is only connected to the pink area and is located on an island near the equator.

"Woo!!!"

As the Stellar, docked at the shore, sounded its horn, a large number of residents boarded the Stellar train in an orderly manner. The survivors on the island were also temporarily housed in several residential areas, though their living conditions were more crowded than those of the normal residents.

Ready to go.

Target: Pink area "Tropical Jungle"!
"Fortunately, things are normal here."

Sitting in his chair, Chen Mang gazed at the horizon and said softly, "High-level trains cannot travel to low-level areas. If there is no path from a high-level area to an even higher-level area, then he will be trapped in that area."

This possibility is theoretically very small.

Since he has this path, he won't block it.

But just as even the smallest probability event can happen, there's also a white area surrounded by high-level areas, so you can't go anywhere.

He looked at the train's dashboard, which displayed the more than 13000 passengers.

He picked up the walkie-talkie.

"Old Pig, how are the new residents who joined the train doing?"

"Very well-behaved."

"Hmm? They used to live in houses with several people per household, but now they're living in a refrigerator, and they don't complain?"

"It existed at first, but it was solved using the catfish effect."

What "catfish effect"?

"It's because Uncle Li got some zombies and let them roam around the residential area. The new residents suddenly felt that the dormitory was safer."

"."

Forget it.

"That's settled," Chen Mang said, hanging up the walkie-talkie.

These past two days, he went to that level 100 space portal and saw that the forest on the island had been almost perfectly transplanted there. When he stayed inside, he was completely unaware that he was on a train, just like being in a wild forest.

Good.

The journey through the universe is ultimately a long one, so it's nice to come here and browse around when you're bored.

It is worth mentioning that.

These survivors on the island did not face any major external crises, so their lives were relatively leisurely. However, they were not entirely without crises, so they did not fight each other or kill one another. Instead, they coexisted as families.

They formed quite a few couples.

I wonder what methods these people use for contraception; it seems like no woman's belly has swelled up in the last two years.

After all the residents boarded the Stellar train.

The Stellar began to slowly hover in mid-air and then shot off into the distance!

Destination.

The pink area is called "Tropical Jungle"!
Resident ID 11111

A young man sat in a residential area, looking at the resident number on the iris chip with excitement in his eyes. This resident panel was like the player panel in a game, which made him feel very novel.

I wish this existed before the end of the world.

He knew many people were somewhat dissatisfied with the restrictions on their freedom on the Starship, but he felt no dissatisfaction whatsoever. He had new clothes and food; what was there to complain about?
Sea salt has a strong rusty and bitter taste.

He was fed up with eating fish smeared with sea salt every day. Not only was it unpalatable, it also made him thirstier. He had to go to the island to collect dew or stored rainwater. At the beginning, there were more than 20,000 survivors.

Nearly two years have passed.

They froze to death, died of disease, drowned, fell to their deaths, or were killed by tigers.

Although there were no monsters, many people still died.

Especially in winter, they had to cover themselves with wild animal pelts and crawl into wooden huts to have a chance of survival.

Life was extremely difficult.

Life on the Starship is far more comfortable than anywhere else, not to mention that the world outside is already at its end. Even if they didn't join the Starship, how long could they survive on the island? If they caught a minor cold and it didn't get better, it could develop into a viral infection that would be very difficult to cure.

So what if I lose a little freedom?

There is nothing in this world without a price. He was extremely looking forward to his future life on the Starship, especially since his resident number was also very auspicious, with five 1s. He felt it was an auspicious beginning.

the most important is--

The young man's expression gradually became dazed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.

He thought of the cashier girl he had met at the local store a few days ago, and he felt that he might be in love. He hadn't seen a girl dressed up in clean clothes in a long time. Compared to the women on the island, she was so much better.

He heard that dating is encouraged on trains, and he thought he could follow the policy.

"Exploded?"

"Huh, it exploded?"

The Stellar is conducting directional cruising.

Chen Mang frowned and looked at the star map on the screen next to him. After the Zerg civilization destroyed the "Slaying Heaven Civilization" last time, the home planet of a small civilization had begun to flee.

Numerous thrusters were installed on the back of the planet.

Preparing to escape the Zerg civilization.

Very good idea.

However, without the help of a wormhole, given the speed at which that planet is escaping, it won't be able to distance itself from the Zerg civilization within a few hundred years. These days, he has been having Xiao Ai keep an eye on the planet's progress, wanting to see when that planet will give up.

result.

Just now, Xiao Ai told him that the planet exploded, and the civilization was destroyed as well.

"How was it destroyed? Was it by the Zerg civilization?"

"Probably not."

Xiao Ai's voice rang out inside the train: "After all, it was just a civilization at the level of a fraction of a second. Logically speaking, the Zerg civilization should not have been able to detect it at all, and should have had no reason to take action. The specific reason is unknown, but that planet no longer exists on the star map."

"Galaxy maps don't show that much detail."

"."

After pondering for a moment, Chen Mang stopped thinking about it. He figured it was best not to think about things he didn't know. He hadn't been optimistic about the plan anyway; the movement speed was just too slow.
Under full speed.

A few hours later.

The Stellar successfully reached the boundary of the pink area, the "tropical jungle".

What lies ahead is less like an island and more like a continent surrounded by the sea, much larger than the "deep-sea island." It is covered with a variety of tropical plants, extremely lush, and at first glance, it looks like there are many snakes.

The words "Tropical Jungle" appeared on a giant light screen in the air.

A line of text slowly appeared on the control panel screen.
-
"The area ahead is pink, a tropical jungle."

"Monsters up to level 24 can exist. The current train level is level 21, so the risk factor is high. Please be careful."
-
He is now a level 21 train and a level 22 armor.

As the Stellar slowly passed through the light curtain and landed on the open seaside area of ​​the pink "tropical jungle," Chen Mang looked at the information on the target detection radar screen and murmured.

"This is how it should be in a normal area."

There are many high-grade minerals.

Level 5 mines are everywhere, and there are three level 6 mines within the range of the resource detection radar, but no level 7 mines have been found yet.

They've only just set foot on this continent and have already seen over three billion tons of iron ore.

There are also many high-level monsters.

Within the range of the target detection radar, the strongest monster is a level 23 monster.

Just as he had guessed.

The radar did not detect a single train. If nothing unexpected happens, there shouldn't be any trains in the remaining areas he hasn't detected. He is very likely the first person on the entire Blue Planet to step into the pink zone.

They were either the first, or at least the first, to step into the pink area, the "tropical jungle."

A piece of good news and a piece of bad news.

Good news: This area has many high-grade minerals that have never been mined, resulting in not only high mineral content but also a large quantity of minerals, and no one is competing with him for them.

Bad news: There are a lot of monsters in this area, perhaps because there are no trains running through it.

There are quite a few high-level monsters.

Many monsters can break through the train's armor, but fortunately the Stellar has enough tricks up its sleeve and is fast enough, so it's not too intimidated. It just can't be as arrogant as it is in other areas at the beginning; it has to take it slow.

Once you upgrade your armor to level 24, you can start being completely arrogant.

Those 81 "Viper Unmanned Combat Aircraft" have just been recycled and turned back into titanium crystal ore. It was a much more ethical process than the Earth's Core Furnace, and 2 million titanium crystal ore were recovered.

Level 20 is not enough.

He needs to be level 30.

"Viper Unmanned Combat Aircraft Production Line," a red-grade component. He upgraded it to level 20 last time, and this time he needs to upgrade it to a higher level so that he can create a higher-level combat aircraft.

The upgrade and creation of this accessory consumes titanium ore.

He doesn't have much of anything right now, except for titanium crystal ore.

A full 12 billion units of titanium crystal ore.

After consuming 1.81 million units of titanium crystal ore, this red-grade accessory was upgraded directly from level 20 to level 100!
This is also the first red-grade accessory in the train to be upgraded to level 100.

Other accessories cannot be upgraded for the time being, but two more supermodel effects have been added!
-
"Viper Unmanned Combat Aircraft Production Line Level 50 Supermodel Effect": Ammunition consumption halved.

"Viper Unmanned Combat Aircraft Production Line 100 Supermodel Effect": The airframe will have subtle changes, be able to adapt to more combat environments, and have increased firepower.
-
The two supermodels looked rather ordinary.

There's nothing particularly eye-catching about it.

The level 5 overpowered effect of this accessory is to halve ammo consumption. Upgrading it to level 50 grants another overpowered effect of halving ammo consumption. Now, even with level 4 energy stones, the battle time can be extended by half.

However, not long after—

"You call this a minor change?!"

Upon arriving at the "fighter jet landing pad" space in carriage number 10, Chen Mang looked at the newly built level 30 "Viper Unmanned Fighter Jet" and couldn't help but raise his voice in disbelief.

"Is this even a drone anymore?"

"If you were to take a paternity test on a fighter jet, the similarity would definitely not exceed 10%!"

The original Viper fighter jet was 11.2 meters long and had a wingspan of 6.5 meters, requiring several carriages for takeoff.

And now.
The entire fighter jet boasts aesthetically pleasing and futuristic lines, resembling a silver spear. Its smooth metal shell gleams coldly under the lights, while the tail thrusters exude a powerful presence.

There are still fighter jets there.

It's clearly a "shuttle ship".

Previously, a catapult was required for takeoff; now, it can be launched directly from the spot.

With its compact and sharp shape, and folding wings that fit snugly against the fuselage, it resembles a space eagle poised to take flight.

It is much smaller than before.

It is 4 meters long and 1 meter wide, with only one tail thruster, making it look like a hummingbird.

It also has several additional functions, such as being able to share the wormholes of the "Starship" train. It can freely jump to any wormhole coordinates owned by the Starship.

Equipped with a stealth coating, it can penetrate radar detection of levels lower than its own, allowing it to slip into the enemy's blind spots like a ghost. Before the enemy can even see it with the naked eye, thousands of hummingbird-like shuttles have already arrived in front of them and launched a fierce attack.

It's completely different from the original.

The only thing that remains the same is that his "defense" is still very weak. Although his functions and attacks are almost maxed out, his weak defense means that he can only be used as a consumable.

but
With its reduced size and extremely high speed, it can evade a large number of energy attacks simply by relying on its own agility. From this perspective, its defense is not too low.

Like the tentacles of a "train", it carries the mission of the Stellar and reaches areas that the Stellar cannot reach.

It can be driven without human intervention.

The driver can sit inside the cabin and drive.

"."

Chen Mang admired the shuttle in front of him and couldn't help but grin: "It's cool, I like it."

He suddenly realized something.

That is.
Given enough resources, it seems that mechanical civilizations can also mass-produce troops.
