My Doomsday Train.

Chapter 294. The Akaganon Photon Main Cannon. (Seeking monthly votes)
"."

Inside the Stellar train, which was parked at the edge of the "Equatorial Core" island in the Seven Colors region, Chen Mang sat in a chair and turned his head to look at the army of "mining robots" that had already headed deep into the island.

The robots have already begun today's mining operations.

Residents also joined the battle.

When there are plenty of mines, the residents will still come to mine, and everyone cherishes this hard-won opportunity.

Time changes many things.

He started out as a slave on other trains, mining every day like a walking corpse.

Even now, on the Stellar, mining is something that needs to be done in a rush.

The leading mining robots carried refrigerators on their shoulders to store the mined resources.

This colorful region is quite rich in resources, with four level 7 iron mines alone.

Four level 7 iron mines can yield 400 billion units of iron ore.

However, the highest level of a mine is only level 7.

Level 8 not seen.

At this time, only the Stellar train was in this area, which was also the final destination of "Water Blue Star".

He looked at the rainbow-colored blueprint for the "Wormhole Opening Device" in his hand. This would be the second rainbow-grade accessory in the Stellar Train. The first rainbow-grade accessory was the "Wormhole Radar".

There are also 69.5 billion units of iron ore inside the train.

He spent 100 million units of iron ore to build the "Wormhole Opening Device," and then spent another 4500 million units of iron ore to upgrade it to level 10 in one go.

"Wormhole opening device?"

Chen Mang sat in the chair and looked at the miniature dagger embedded in the table in front of the control panel. This thing was the wormhole opener, and it looked quite cute.

The effect of the wormhole opening device is self-explanatory.

It can explore the stability of space within a certain range, determine the landing point where a wormhole can be created, and create the wormhole.

The range of a level 1 scale is 1 light-years.

The range of a level 10 scale is 10 light-years.

Besides--

If he knows the coordinates of the end of a wormhole, he can directly create a passage to the end of that wormhole. For example, even if his current "wormhole creation device" is only level 10, as long as he knows the coordinates of a wormhole near the Zerg civilization's home planet.

He could then cut in line and directly create a passage to the wormhole near the Zerg civilization's home planet.

Even though the distance is more than 10 light-years.

It is for this reason.

In the universe, the coordinates of wormholes created by various civilizations are top secret. Once the coordinates of one's own wormhole are leaked, it is highly likely that the wormholes created by one's own civilization will hasten its own demise.

After reaching level 10, he also gained two supermodel effects.
-
"Wormhole Opening Device Level 5 Supermodel Effect": Energy consumption halved.

"Wormhole Creation Device Level 10 Supermodel Effect": The wormholes created have a higher stability rate.
-
"."

Chen Mang pressed a button on the control panel, and as the energy stone began to be consumed rapidly, the "wormhole opening device" started to operate. A few minutes later, it detected the mineral planet 0.3 light-years away from the Blue Star, and the stable spatial coordinates nearby where a wormhole could be built.

The nearest stable coordinate point to the mining planet where a wormhole could be built is 300 million kilometers away.

At its current speed, the Stellar would need 595 hours, or 24 days and nights without rest, to travel at full speed.

Then you can successfully reach the mining planet.

He glanced at the control panel screen. This probe had consumed 11% of his Level 5 energy stone's capacity, which was roughly equivalent to depleting a Level 4 energy stone.

Creating a wormhole from the blue planet to that coordinate planet 300 million kilometers away from the mining planet would require 5000 million units of iron ore.

"The price is a bit high."

Chen Mang glanced at the data on the control panel screen and said softly.

5000 million units of iron ore may not sound like much.

However, the wormhole he created is only 0.3 light-years away. If he were to create one further away, the price would be unimaginable.

What he created was relatively inexpensive—

"One-way, one-time wormhole".

Can be imagined.

A few days ago, the Zerg civilization created hundreds of thousands of one-way, one-time random wormholes, just to find that civilization. How much resources did they consume? At least trillions of units of iron ore!
"The Zerg civilization certainly couldn't have used up that many resources to create wormholes."

Chen Mang murmured with a confident tone.

The amount of resources consumed is a bit too exaggerated. If the Zerg civilization needs to consume so many resources to fight a third-rate, low-level civilization, then the Zerg civilization should have gone bankrupt long ago.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Mang decided not to continue upgrading the "Wormhole Opening Device," a seven-colored accessory. Level 10 was enough for now, and a distance of 10 light-years was enough for him to roam freely. He wouldn't go too far for the time being.

The resources saved can be used to upgrade other components.

such as
The rainbow-grade accessory "Akanon Solar Main Cannon".

Big killer!
At level 10, this accessory is far more powerful than the "Doomsday Cannon". He has been saving up so much iron ore to upgrade this type of firepower accessory. If you're going to upgrade, you should upgrade to the best.

While the doomsday machine gun may save energy, it's utterly useless in space.

It takes 100 million units of iron ore to create it.

Chen Mang got off the following carriage.

I looked at the huge, black main cannon on the front of the train.

After the train was expanded, its width reached 10 meters. However, the main gun not only occupied the length from the train room to carriage number 2, but its width also reached seven or eight meters.

This is the largest firepower weapon ever built for the Stellar.

But that's not the main thing.

After all, this size wouldn't even rank among the top firepower weapons in his previous world, let alone be suitable for going to space.

The cannon barrel was engraved with scarlet honeycomb-like lines.

He can not understand.

I just think they look great together.

Tier 1 firepower weapon, "Akanon Photon Main Cannon".

Chen Mang piloted the Stellar Train, flying through the air, leaving the "Equatorial Core" of the Seven-Colored Region, and arriving in the surrounding area. His target was a small island in the ocean, roughly the same size as the island in the Seven-Colored Region.
-
"To activate the 'Akanon Photon Main Cannon', you need to embed at least one level 3 energy stone."

"Do not look directly at the firing process with the naked eye."
-
He slowly pressed the scarlet button on the control panel.

The giant cannon muzzle on the top of the Stellar train slowly opened, and the honeycomb-like lines on the cannon body lit up with a ghostly blue light, as if it had been awakened from a long slumber.

The waves on the sea below were pushed aside by an invisible force.

The air was distorting wildly.

It was as if the entire ocean feared the impending judgment.

"Charging progress 67%"

"Charging progress 99%"

next moment--

A blinding white light pierced through the celestial pole. It was no ordinary light, but a torrent of plasma compressed to the extreme, with a core temperature comparable to that of a star's core.

Like a beam of light.

The moment the beam of light touched the island, the enormous island melted almost instantly, and the ageless foundations of the island, standing on the ocean, were evaporated in an instant.

There is no sound.

There was no sound of artillery fire; it was extremely quiet, so quiet that it didn't seem like war at all.

"boom!!!"

Only then did the sound finally arrive, but it wasn't the roar of the main cannon. Instead, it was the overpressure shockwave formed by the evaporated seawater and rocks, which first sank the sea surface beneath the island into a giant crater thousands of meters wide.

That's a scenario that's difficult for humans to achieve.

Immediately afterwards, a violent tsunami surged back, reaching thousands of meters high, and swept outwards in all directions.

The original location of the island could only be vaguely seen surrounded by a large amount of seawater, and a huge ball of lightning lasted for several seconds, turning the entire sky purple-red.

Even the seabed crust shattered under the aftershocks of the energy, and a large amount of seawater rushed in, forming a huge whirlpool that swallowed up all the debris on the sea surface.

"."

Chen Mang sat under the control panel, staring in shock at the scene appearing on the screen. Since he was warned not to look directly at it, he naturally wouldn't look at it with his eyes.

just
Its power far exceeded his expectations!

Keep in mind, this is only level 1, a level 1 "Akanon Photon Main Cannon"!

Even if you put all your efforts into giving a level 1 "Doomsday Cannon" a level 1 weapon, it still wouldn't be able to achieve this level of performance.

After a long time.

The lingering light in the air gradually faded, leaving only floating lava fragments on the sea surface. That empty sea once held an island.

However, all that remained was a still-spinning, boiling ocean whirlpool.

"Xiao Ai."

"I'm here."

"Are you sure that a level 1 attack of this level can't kill a level 2 zombie?"

“Yes.” Xiao Ai’s voice came from inside the train: “All the mainstream civilizations in the universe may manifest themselves in different ways, but the core is how to make better use of core energy.”

"Whether it's an attack or a defense, it's all generated through core energy, which has a strict hierarchy that cannot be surpassed."

"but"

"According to information in the mechanical civilization's AI database, when the level reaches a certain limit, it may break through this situation. However, this speculation is still in the experimental stage and there are no concrete results yet."

"."

Chen Mang didn't speak, but simply sat back down in his chair, gazing somewhat absentmindedly at the whirlpool on the sea.

"Akanon Photon Main Cannon".

This is the third rainbow accessory he has obtained. The previous two rainbow accessories were functional and it was difficult to demonstrate the strength of rainbow-grade accessories. This accessory truly showed him what rainbow accessories are!
What are capping components?

This single shot is enough to explain everything.

If he could upgrade this thing to level 100, he estimated that he could definitely bombard a planet with a single shot.

He consumed 45 billion units of iron ore to level up to level 50 in one go, gaining four overpowered effects.
-
"Akanon Photon Main Cannon Level 5 Supermodel Effect": Charge time is greatly reduced.

"Akanon Light Energy Main Cannon Level 10 Overpowered Effect": Attack damage does not decrease with distance.

"Akanon Photon Main Cannon Level 20 Supermodel Effect": Trackable.

"Akanon Photon Main Cannon Level 50 Supermodel Effect": Energy consumption halved.
-
This is the most expensive accessory he has ever upgraded. It only took him 45 billion units of iron ore to upgrade it to level 50. He basically squandered all the iron ore he mined in the pink area here!
but--

Complete! Worth it!
One level 3 energy stone is enough for the Akagan Light Energy Cannon to fire a beam attack with a level 1 attack strength.

A level 50 attack power requires one level 8 energy stone.

That is, 50 billion units of iron ore.

The price is extremely high, far exceeding the cost of manufacturing it.

Even with energy consumption halved, 25 billion units of iron ore would still be needed.

Although it's expensive, he can afford it. He really wanted to test the power of a level 50 "Akanon Photon Main Cannon," but he didn't dare to try.
Level 50.

This is not something as simple as bombing a small island.

He was a little worried that it might blast a giant crater into the planet, or even split it in two. The power of that was beyond what could be used for experiments on the planet.

When the opportunity arises, I'll try dropping one on the Zerg civilization's planet.

Of these four supermodel effects, the one he values ​​most is actually...
Level 10 Overpowered Effect: Attack damage does not decrease with distance.

The "Akanon Photon Main Cannon" attacks by firing a beam of light, meaning that theoretically, it could be used for some fun.
"Targeting complete, parameters adjusted."

"It can be launched at any time."

"Please have the train conductor issue the launch command."

"That's right."

Chen Mang stood inside the train, a smile playing on his lips, and slammed down the crimson button on the control panel. He fired a level 1 Akagan solar cannon at a planet on the very edge of the Zerg civilization's territory.

As the muzzle of the "Akanon Photovoltaic Main Cannon" on the top of the train slightly opened, the honeycomb-like lines on the cannon body once again emitted a ghostly blue light, and a dazzling white light pierced through the sky and shot straight into the sky!

In the blink of an eye, it pierced the atmosphere and disappeared into the world.

The level 20 supermodel effect is a tracking effect.

That planet is a full 57000 light-years away from Earth, meaning that, under a very low probability, this "beam of light" will accurately hit that planet in 5.7 years.

It brought a slight shock to that planet.

Throughout this long journey, the power of this beam will not diminish, it will maintain its tracking effect, and it will try its best to change its trajectory by observing the movement of that planet.

The attack strength is only level 1.

It's impossible to kill a Zerg monster naturally; I just thought it was fun.

Moreover, 5 years is too long; it would be difficult for him to live to that time, and who knows what might happen during that period.

The probability of hitting the target is also very low.

It is far less likely than the probability of a coin being tossed in the air and landing upright on the ground.

After all, the journey between the Blue Planet and that insectoid civilization planet was not entirely smooth.

"It's quite interesting, isn't it?"

Chen Mang chuckled and looked up at the beam of light that had vanished without a trace in the sky. He suddenly realized what the biggest advantage of this type of weapon, which uses "beams" as its attack method, was: the attack was at the speed of light.

Trains cannot travel at the speed of light.

However, the attacks he launches can be...

"Xiao Ai, adjust the target. This time, the target is that mineral planet that is 0.3 light-years away from Water Blue Star."

"Targeting complete, parameters adjusted."

"It can be launched at any time."

Chen Mang slapped the control panel button again, sending a small gift to the nearest mining planet. The attack was expected to reach the mining planet in 0.3 years, or 3.6 months.

By then, he should have already been located on the mining planet.

This is a good opportunity to observe up close what it's like to be attacked from 0.3 light-years away.

Then, as if he were getting addicted, he randomly fired 10 times into the depths of space without any target!
The "Akanon Photon Main Cannon" has a level 1 attack power and only requires one level 3 energy stone, which is equivalent to 5 units of iron ore, to fire once. It's practically free, and this amount of iron ore is insignificant to him.

"The universe is so much more fun."

Chen Mang looked up at the ten beams of light disappearing into the clouds above his head and a slight smile appeared on his lips. He somewhat liked this feeling, the feeling of randomly throwing beams of light into the vast universe.

No one knows which target the attack will hit thousands, tens of thousands, millions, or even hundreds of millions of years later.

Or perhaps it had just left the atmosphere of "Blue Planet" when it collided with a meteorite fragment in space.

but.
It feels very interesting.

It would be great if each beam could be equipped with a "mechanical eye" and a data transmitter, so that it could know the final outcome of each beam.

And he finally understood why the universe was so chaotic.

Even he, after obtaining the "Akanon Photon Cannon," couldn't resist firing a few shots into the depths of space. How much more so other civilizations? It's estimated that everyone would find it hard to resist firing a few shots. If you fire a few and I fire a few, how can the universe not be in chaos?
In addition, there are various other factors such as competition for resources, competition for legitimacy, and competition for civilization.

It's already a complete mess.

This is why his special tool, the "galaxy map," has a detection range of only 10 light-years. If the detection range were larger, reaching hundreds of millions of light-years, it might discover that the entire universe has already been completely in chaos.

Every civilization attacks the civilization closest to it.

There is no reason.

Let's get started.

A naked and pure desire to kill: If I don't destroy you, you'll have to destroy me once you grow stronger. That's the biggest reason to destroy you.

Of course, this is just his guess.

Perhaps the entire universe is peaceful, and only his area is in complete chaos. However, this possibility is unlikely, since under conditions of resource competition and civilizational conflict, it doesn't seem like a place where peace can be maintained.

"I finally understand what the sentence behind the 'Decree of Civilization' means."

"When the civilization level is higher than 1, you are officially on the poker table."

"Without the skill to be a hunter, you will only become the prey."

"It seems that only these two types of civilizations are relatively safe in the universe: either the strongest or the weakest."

"Then," Xiao Ai's voice rang out in the train cabin, "Train conductor, which type of civilization do you want to become?" "The weakest, of course."

Chen Mang said irritably, "The latter is controllable, but can I control the former? Even if I develop very quickly, what about the transition from a Level 1 civilization to the strongest civilization? Other civilizations don't seem like they can let me transition slowly."

"And didn't you notice?"

"In our galaxy, the Zerg civilization is the most powerful. There may be many other powerful civilizations around us, but they have all been blocked by the Zerg civilization. We are located behind the Zerg civilization's main base, which is certainly dangerous."

"But from a certain perspective, it can be considered as receiving protection."

"Other powerful civilizations will not come here."

"Under the protection of the Zerg civilization, we can develop slowly and secretly until we make a name for ourselves!"

"Let's try firing 10 more shots!"

Chen Mang, still somewhat unsatisfied, slammed the crimson button on the control panel again. If these beams were to actually hit a civilization, they would likely feel his goodwill, since he had only unleashed beams of level 1 attack strength, which wouldn't kill anyone.

That feeling.

It was like receiving a letter from a stranger from hundreds of years ago.

Time always imbues envelopes with a wealth of meaning.

Like fine wine, it is mellow and intoxicating.

After having his fill of fun, he piloted the Starship on its return journey. It was too late to test the attack intensity anymore. He would test the effect on other planets after leaving space and see how powerful the level 50 "Akanon Photon Main Cannon" was.

The only pity is.

The upgrade consumes too many resources.

It took a full 45 billion units of iron ore to level up from level 1 to level 50.

He had just glanced at it; the resources required for the upgrade would be even more expensive, requiring hundreds of billions of units of iron ore to reach level 100. However, he didn't need such a high-level main cannon for the time being.
The seven-colored region is located at the core of the equator.

A middle-aged man glanced around, and seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he put his pickaxe on the ground and started to dawdle. He looked at a man next to him who was working hard and whispered, "Buddy, the guards aren't watching this way. Who are you working so hard for? Nobody can see you."

"Why don't we take a break together?"

Humans are social animals.

The greatest significance of criminal gangs is not how much help the gang members can provide, but rather that they make you feel more at ease when you do bad things.

It's like if one person is punished by the teacher to stand in the corner, they might feel a little apprehensive, but if seven or eight people are punished by the teacher to stand in the corner, they might feel a bit emboldened.

This is the greatest significance of the existence of gangs.

Take this lazy man, for example. He wants to slack off, but seeing everyone around him working hard makes him feel uneasy. He desperately hopes someone can slack off with him, which would make him feel much more at ease.

"."

The man mining glanced at the middle-aged man, smiled, and casually said, "A newcomer to the Stellar from the pink zone 'Tropical Jungle,' right?"

"You missed the good times."

“Back then, residents’ benefits improved quickly. By your turn, there’s not much left to mine. Now that there’s such a lot of mine to mine, you should hurry up and mine more. Otherwise, I’ll worry about you. How are you going to upgrade your residents’ benefits?”

"They really do have a big heart."

“The residents are treated pretty well now. As long as they have enough to eat, they have a place to live.” The middle-aged man squatted on the ground and muttered to himself, “I know that in the neon city, one unit of iron ore can be exchanged for one star voucher.”

"You mined so much minerals, and all you got were those few star vouchers. I don't know what you were thinking."

The man hadn't intended to waste time arguing with the middle-aged man, but after seeing the pig driver walking towards them out of the corner of his eye, he said seriously, "Brother, your awareness is a bit low."

"first--"

"You need to understand that Neon City's target customer group is train conductors. Would you even need those train parts?"

"Secondly, you need to understand that the reason we were able to mine so much iron ore is not because we are so powerful, but because Master Mang was able to find so much iron ore. You can't assume that all the credit is yours just because you mined the iron ore."

"at last!"

"Master Mang protected my safety in the apocalypse, provided me with shelter and food, and allowed me to maintain basic dignity in the apocalypse. I feel that there is no problem with handing over some iron ore."

"Your awareness is not like living in the apocalypse, but more like living before the apocalypse."

at this time--

The pig-headed driver walked over with a smile, looking at the man with some surprise: "You've got a high level of awareness, no wonder you're a long-time resident of the Stellar."

Then he casually glanced at the middle-aged man who hurriedly got up and pretended to work.

“Take him away and give him a few days of political classes.”

"This guy's ideological awareness is a bit low and needs to be improved."

"Yes."

Two burly guards immediately stepped forward, hoisted the middle-aged man into their arms, and carried him toward the refrigerator not far away.

The neon-lit city was bustling with people on the streets.

As the number of people gradually increased, the originally designated area became insufficient, so an additional street was opened to accommodate more people.

at this time.

Many train conductors gathered in front of the notice boards on both sides of the street.
-
"The ownership of Neon City belongs to the Stellar Train."

"I regret to inform you."

"The planet Water Blue is expected to collapse and be destroyed within 2-3 years. This is an irreversible process. The Star Train is preparing to depart from Water Blue in January to escape the siege of the Zerg civilization and seek a chance to survive in the universe."

"Train conductors who are interested in joining the Stellar Train on its interstellar escape can travel to Sun City for more details."
-
This notice board has been displayed for over ten days.

They also told everyone in detail about the current state of the universe. They knew that the Blue Planet was located behind the Zerg civilization and that the Zerg civilization was a terrifying existence.

They had no choice but to flee.

Join or not join.

This has become a choice that all train conductors entering neon cities these days have to face.

"Two or three years."

A man with a full beard stood there with a complicated expression, looking at the information on the notice board and said hoarsely, "With the current strength of my train, we absolutely cannot achieve interstellar escape within two or three years. This means that if we don't join the Stellar Train, we may very well have to live and die with the Blue Planet."

“Me too.” A young man next to me said quietly, “I haven’t even gotten a bunny cloud wheel, how am I supposed to escape from space?”

"."

Sun City, high-rise buildings.

Chen Mang stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the bustling crowds on the street below. He silently leaned on his cane and listened quietly as Uncle Li reported on the specific data of the neon city in recent days.

He didn't know how many survivors were still alive on "Water Blue Star".

but--

He had calculated it.

The Stellar train couldn't carry too many survivors; it couldn't fit them all. Carrying an entire civilization with the efforts of a single person was an extremely costly endeavor.

Just like how Noah's Ark could only selectively take away one male and one female.

So does he.

He could only selectively take some of the survivors with him. He didn't know how long his "interstellar escape" plan would last, but he was certain that he wouldn't survive long on the planet Blue.

No one has signed up for those high-class trains these days.

obviously.

These people have been train conductors for so long and enjoyed so many privileges; they wouldn't want to be subordinate to others. He could completely understand that; it's only human nature.

After all, in the eyes of those high-ranking train conductors, the Stellar Train only gained the ability to escape into space after heading to the Rainbow Zone. They were already in the Red and Gold Zones and were not far from the Rainbow Zone.

Two or three years isn't enough time for them to reach the Rainbow Region?
This is the truth.

just
There is only one blueprint for the "wormhole cleaver" on a planet. Only the first train conductor to reach the Rainbow Zone can take this blueprint. How the other trains can leave the Blue Planet without creating a wormhole is a big problem.

He did not disclose this information.

He selectively abandoned those high-class trains.

In a few days, he planned to start his journey around the globe from the North Pole, trying to bring as many survivors of the lower-class trains as possible onto the Stellar.

His upper limit is 10 billion people.

This is already close to the limit that the Stellar can withstand. The daily food, drink and excretion of these 1 billion people is an astronomical figure. Even the most basic food consumption requires 10 million units of iron ore every day.

But the Stellar can handle it, since these people aren't just eating and drinking for free; they'll give back in other ways.

just
The train simply cannot accommodate so many spatial portals. Each portal would require the construction of numerous refrigerators and other facilities, and there would also be the need to manage a billion people within the train. The train is only so big, and the vast majority of people would essentially never have the opportunity to leave the spatial portals again.

Managing it presents many challenges.

Extremely chaotic.

He believed that these 10 billion people would undoubtedly play a greater role in rebuilding his civilization in the future.

However, in the early stages, he had to bear the backlash from the resources brought about by this 10 billion people.

This is the limit of what he can bear, which also means that he must selectively abandon some survivors. He cannot take all the survivors with him; he will conduct a certain screening and take as many qualified survivors as possible.

in fact
If all he needed to do was build the train, he wouldn't have needed to bring so many survivors.

But since he has the intention to rebuild human civilization and wants to appear in the universe openly as a human civilization, he must bring these survivors with him, and the more the better.

"Mr. Mang."

After reporting the data, Uncle Li began to report on other recent developments in Neon City: "The 'Neon City Free Entry Ticket' only guarantees that all train conductors on this planet can reach Neon City after activating the ticket."

"President Ai is currently researching how to allow train conductors from other planets to reach Neon City by activating the 'Neon City Free Access Ticket.' This is essentially creating a one-way, one-time wormhole, which is quite complex, and there are no conclusions yet."

"But according to Mr. Ai, even if the research is successful, the cost of creating these 'neon city free admission tickets' will rise rapidly, making it impossible to mass-produce them indefinitely as before."

"Ah."

Chen Mang nodded slightly. The main customer base of Neon City in the future will still be other planets, or rather, other civilizations.

He wants to facilitate trade between his different civilizations in his neon-lit city.

To achieve this, the key challenge is figuring out how to make the "Neon City Free Admission Ticket" work.

"There's one more thing. Mr. Mang, we've finally acquired the blueprints for the parts you specified last time."

He glanced at Uncle Li and took a blueprint from his hand.

Back inside the train, Chen Mang looked at the "Cyber ​​Mining Farm" screen. He now had 50 cyber mining machines, and after Da Mao's training last time, the success rate of shipping had increased significantly.

But it wasn't much higher.

after all
The drop rate for this item is inherently very low.

The main reason is that there are too few "cyber miners". If there are more cyber miners, the output probability will also increase significantly. Low probability is not a problem, as long as the data is large enough.

There is only one factor restricting the rapid development of Cyberminer: the shortage of "Dream Stone".

Apart from the first acquisition which went quite smoothly, each subsequent acquisition only yielded a few scattered pieces, and the quantity remained extremely low, making it impossible to quantify.

But that was before.

When the Stellar train had 6000 residents, it could only produce one Dream Stone per month.

That's equivalent to 18 residents, which can produce one Dream Stone per day.

His plan was to take 10 billion survivors with him when he left "Water Blue Star" and escape together. If there were 10 billion survivors on the train, about 5556 Dream Stones could be made that day!
You can get 5556 coins in one day!
At that time-

"Cyber ​​Mine" will be officially expanded and will officially reach its peak!
Chen Mang glanced down at the blue-grade accessory blueprint "Dream Spray" that Uncle Li had just given him. It was a good thing. It only needed to be installed in a carriage or a portal to make people on the train fall asleep quickly or wake up from their dreams.

That way, there's no need to prick your butt with a needle.

Although the latter was not seriously injured and was perfectly bandaged after leaving the Cyber ​​Mine, it still sounded somewhat inhumane, so this accessory is a good replacement for the needle tip.

"."

He remained silent and did not immediately upgrade the blue-grade component he had just acquired. Instead, he silently stared at the four remaining rainbow-grade components he had crafted on the screen, wanting to test how many units of iron ore were needed to upgrade the "Space Gate" to level 200.

He wanted to see if the Stellar train could actually fit so many people.

"Conductor."

Xiao Ai's helpless voice echoed inside the train: "I think you might be too optimistic. Your idea is that the Stellar Train can only accommodate a maximum of 10 billion survivors, and the rest of the survivors will be abandoned on this planet."

"It sounds cruel and heartless."

"but--"

"Train conductor, do you think it's possible that the current survivors on Planet Water don't even have 10 billion?"

"It's definitely worth at least 10 billion."

Chen Mang said calmly, "After all, there are tens of billions of people on the planet Water Blue. How could it be that not even 10 billion survivors could survive?"

"The problem now is whether the portal can accommodate so many people."

"And the management issues of so many people."

The most powerful spatial portal currently inside the Stellar Train is the Level 100 spatial portal located in carriage 10, which is 10,000 meters long and wide.

Creating this level 100 spatial gate consumed a total of 131 million units of iron ore.

He did the math.

如果挤一挤，按照人均10-20平方米的高密度的去容纳，大概一个100级空间之门可容纳500万-1000万人口。

This is definitely not possible.

After all, this is an idealized representation of data. Five million people cannot be laid out in the space gate as flatly and evenly as sand.

A Level 10 refrigerator is required.

A level 10 refrigerator worth 4500 units of iron ore was used to build a dormitory-style building to house the 1 billion survivors he was taking with him.

This allows the maximum population capacity of a level 100 space gate to reach 1000 million.

This is a space with activity areas, realistically accommodating the number of people.

One billion survivors.

One hundred level 100 spatial gates would be enough.

but.
The portals can be large or small. If all the portal entrances are built to the minimum standard, a single carriage can hold up to 20 portals, which is five carriages. With the addition of a large number of level 10 refrigerators, it is possible to accommodate a total population of 10 billion.

just
Their quality of life was so poor that they could only barely survive.

The number of sudden deaths every day is not small.

Moreover, it consumes a lot of resources.

仅一个100级「空间之门」里就需要至少安置5万个十级冰箱，才能安置的下1000万人口，20万个冰箱的打造价格需2.25亿单位铁矿。

100 portals.

That's 225 billion units of iron ore.
This is just the cost of building the refrigerator; it doesn't include the cost of the space door, daily meals, management costs, and so on, which would be an astronomical figure.

and so--

He wanted to give it a try and see if there would be a better outcome.

Chen Mang glanced at the data on the control panel screen and said softly, "Isn't the AI ​​database missing the supermodel effect of a level 200 space gate?"

He pinned his greatest hopes on the effect of the level 200 portal, hoping it would make the portal bigger and bigger, even larger based on the upgraded components.

That way he wouldn't need to build so many refrigerators.

Building a refrigerator is too expensive.

Moreover, the residents' living experience is very poor.

"No."

Inside the train, Xiao Ai's voice rang out: "The database doesn't have the supermodel effect of the Space Gate being upgraded to level 200. If nothing unexpected happens, it's probably because no one in the entire mechanical civilization has smashed the Murphy Stone in such a place."

"Too."

Since there's no answer, he'll have to try it himself.

Chen Mang looked at the "Space Gate" component in the 3D model of the Stellar Train on the control panel screen.

The number of Murphy Stones required to level up from level 100 to level 200 increases progressively, and the resources consumed for each level also increase significantly, far exceeding the resources required to level up from level 1 to level 100.

but.

He has level 0 privileges, and the only price he needs to pay is the latter; the former price can be ignored.

next moment--

"Upgrading a level 100 spatial gate to level 101 requires 3 Murphy Stones."

"Train conductor has been detected to have Level 0 privileges. No Murphy Stones required."

"Continue with the upgrade?"
