My Doomsday Train.

Chapter 312 This is fucking illogical! (Seeking monthly votes)

The "Kasa Civilization Federation" consists of nearly 10,000 Level 1 civilizations, more than 200 Level 2 civilizations, and Level 3 Kasa civilizations.

It spans a region of approximately 10,000 light-years.

Occupying an extremely large area, the mining rights for almost all the mineral planets produced within this region belong to the Kasa civilization. Even a small mineral planet contains at least trillions of units of resources. Given that the Kasa civilization has been around for so many years, one can imagine how terrifying the amount of resources it has accumulated is.

Yes.

Indeed, there are quite a few corrupt elements within the Kasha civilization.

However, the prerequisite for woodworms is that the granary is full enough; if the granary is not full, it is difficult for woodworms to be present.

Although things happened somewhat unexpectedly.

Not to mention the Zerg civilization, even the Kaisa civilization was caught off guard, but the higher-ups quickly made a decision.

beat.

It's impossible to sit idly by and watch the entire Western Military District be wiped out; that would be extremely dangerous for the Kasha civilization. Since they can't be called back, the only option is to fight.

In a decisive battle between such top-level civilizations, there is no room for small-scale probing.

Once war breaks out, it will almost certainly be a decisive battle.

Until one civilization is completely destroyed.

Once the leadership of the "Kasa Civilization" issued the order, this long-dormant machine, like a colossal behemoth, began to slowly start operating, and the entire civilization entered a state of first-level combat readiness.

Resources are being cleared and consolidated.

The military began to expand its recruitment, and all government troops from Level 2 and Level 1 civilizations were forcibly conscripted.

People began to freely answer the call.

Production lines began working overtime to produce essential strategic materials at a rapid pace.

under such a circumstance.

Chen Mang set off.

In the vast universe, the Starship sails through the darkness, with countless stars dotting the pitch-black curtain of night in the distance.

Behind them followed more than thirty high-class trains.

These trains all belong to the "Philia Pirate Group." To be called a group, it must have more than one train. The highest-class train is Pulu Pulu's ride.

The "Aka Energy Light Cannon" is level 100.

The energy defense shield even has a level 40 rating.

This level of equipment is practically useless against the Starship, but in the vast universe, it is considered a very powerful pirate force. The "Philia Pirate Group" ranks twenty-third on the Federation's bounty list.

This demonstrates its strength.

"The bounty is 978 billion units of iron ore."

"A bit too little."

Sitting in the chair, Chen Mang looked at the bounty list on his wristwatch, then turned to look at Pulu Pulu beside him: "What did you do to warrant such a large bounty on you from the Kasa Civilization?"

"no."

Pulu shook his head and explained, "This bounty list wasn't issued by the Kasa civilization, but by a powerful level-two civilization. It's a civilian list, and the bounty isn't paid by one person."

"For example, if you want to offer a bounty on someone, all you need to do is take a piece of iron ore, contact the organization, hand over the iron ore to the organization, and then you can start offering the bounty."

"The agency will take 10% of your commission."

"That means if you put up a 1000 million bounty, the actual bounty amount is only 900 million."

"Once someone completes a bounty mission, they can use their evidence to claim the reward from the organization, which will then give you the bounty amount that has been stored in its coffers."

"It is possible to offer a collective reward."

"Therefore, the pirates with the largest bounties on the leaderboard are basically wanted by many people at the same time."

"I see." Chen Mang said thoughtfully, "Then you have quite a few enemies. 978 billion units of iron ore, it must have been taken by several forces, right?"

"this."

Pulu Pulu coughed lightly, a hint of smugness in his voice: "In our line of work, reputation is paramount."

"Robbery and murder are not only risky, but also have low profits."

"We mainly rely on our reputation to get the big families in the area to pay us protection money. This reputation has three aspects."

"The first point is credit."

"Only a pirate with integrity can earn everyone's trust, and only then can everyone believe that after paying protection money, you will not go back on your word or raise the price at any time."

"The second point is the method."

"Rumors of your ruthlessness must spread for people to fear you."

"The third point is prestige."

“I put a 500 billion bounty on myself, plus the 479 billion units of iron ore bounty I’ve accumulated over the years, which has secured me the 23rd spot on the bounty list. That’s prestige. Being able to sit in this position is enough to prove my strength.”

"Those of us in this line of work."

"We have plenty of cash flow; we can definitely come up with 500 billion."

"."

Chen Mang looked at Pulu Pulu with a slightly strange expression: "You seem to be quite proud of your past as a pirate?"

"You should love what you do."

"Besides, I did a pretty good job, not bad at all."

"Then why don't you take more and make yourself the number one on the list? That would give you even more prestige."

"That won't work."

Pulu shook his head: "Prestige can be somewhat inflated, but if it's too inflated and doesn't match your actual strength, you'll face many crises, such as being hunted down by bounty hunters or by that organization."

"That organization often hunts down pirates who are ranked high on the bounty list, issuing their own bounties and profiting from both sides."

"Twenty-three is a perfect spot."

"It has a certain prestige, but the amount is not so flashy that it will attract the attention of certain people in the shadows."

Chen Mang nodded silently. After chatting for a few more minutes, he told Pulu Pulu to contact him directly if she needed anything in the future. Then he looked at Pulu Pulu's back and felt a little emotional.

This was the first time he had ever met someone who could let go so quickly.

He is, after all, the head of a large corporation, and his strength is not weak in the entire Kasa Civilization Federation.

I let it go as soon as I said I would.

I'm giving up being a pirate for good.

He wants to go and build a new home for the goblins together with Doba. If you look at it from another perspective, he definitely can't let go of it. Even if he wants to rebuild his home, he must ensure that he has a say in this home.

He didn't want to become an outsider after his home was built.

Just as he saw Doba at the beginning.

The goblin civilization is arrogant and somewhat clever, but lacks any grand ambitions. They only want their own little home and play house games at the village entrance every day. The path of vying for supremacy is not suitable for goblins.

Goblins have no ambition.

Without ambition, it's impossible to keep going.

"."

Then he looked up ahead, his target being "Xuanwu Star." This place was located on the very edge of the western region, and in the event of war, it would almost certainly be the first place to fall. It was far too dangerous.

The Kasha civilization today is probably too preoccupied to care about losing a planet.

Let's take Xuanwu Star to a safer place first.

As for the batch of luxury clothing from the mechanical civilization "Lieyang," it will be temporarily stored on the train, to be sold at a later opportunity, or simply kept as souvenirs.

Anyway, it's only a few hundred billion units of iron ore.

After receiving a generous gift from "Xuanwu Star", his standards became somewhat high.

All the spoiled second-generation rich kids in the "Western Military Region" were killed.

Not many people buy this stuff anymore.

However, people in other regions still buy them, but traveling thousands of light-years to other regions is too expensive. Wormholes do exist, but they are not free for these Free Army soldiers.

Second-hand dealers are unwilling to buy from you, and it's hard to say whether you'll make a profit or loss in the back and forth.

He didn't want to go either.

The Kasha Civilization Federation has very strict background checks and jurisdiction over trains that cross regions. They need to board the trains and check them bit by bit. Their trains can't withstand such checks.

but.
Before leaving "Hibiscus Star", he placed four level 200 refrigerators on four "inter-regional freight trains", which were expected to arrive in ten days. This way, he could use these refrigerators to travel freely to these four regions in the future.

Although the train can't go, people can.

That's already enough to do a lot.

For example, selling clothes, middlemen, and instant communication.

The Federation's current wartime communication methods mainly rely on wormholes, which have drawbacks such as unstable signals and insufficient coverage. However, they are fast enough that it would be even better to directly use refrigerators.

Even assuming the worst-case scenario, where the "Stellar" is truly doomed on the battlefield and all its trump cards are rendered useless, it can at least escape with the main crew members through the refrigerator, leaving behind a spark that can ignite a wildfire in the future.

at this time--

A voice rang out inside the train.

"Master Mang, the AI, Pulu Pulu, has completed the information integration. I've compiled a few important pieces of information. Shall we talk about them now?"

"Speak."

Chen Mang leaned back in his chair and lit a cigarette.

Pulu Pulu's cooperation was outrageous. When he suggested asking Pulu Pulu for some important information, Pulu Pulu simply said to copy the AI's database over so that Xiao Ai could read it and choose which information was important.

He would never allow anyone to copy Xiao Ai's database in his lifetime.

That would expose a lot of information.

AI is arguably the most familiar person with the train, even more so than the train conductor, since the conductor cannot monitor the condition of every component in real time.

"The first piece of information."

"Plop plop, we once found a habitable planet of a mechanical civilization in the ruins of a mechanical civilization. Of course, it has already derailed and become an uninhabited planet, no longer suitable for habitation."

"If such a planet were sold to the Kasa civilization, it could fetch at least three trillion units of iron ore!"

"The Kasa Civilization has always announced that any relics related to mechanical civilizations can be exchanged for resources. If a planet can be found that is a mechanical civilization, it will be purchased at a minimum price of three trillion units of iron ore."

"After the defeat of the 'Mechanical Civilization,' almost none of its planets remained intact. On such intact planets, a wealth of artifacts related to the Mechanical Civilization can be unearthed, making them invaluable for research."

"This is something the Kasha civilization treasures."

"but--"

"Pulupulu chose to conceal the information and implanted a positioning device inside the planet so that it could be found again in the future."

"First, we don't trust the Kasa civilization and don't believe that the Kasa civilization is willing to give us these resources."

"After all, it's easier to kill someone to cover it up."

"He wasn't really keen on gambling a fortune on horse bones."

"Secondly, we also hope that if there is an opportunity to rebuild the goblin civilization in the future, we can make this planet a habitable planet for the goblin civilization."

"good."

Chen Mang nodded, his eyes narrowing slightly: "This information is very important. After we take Xuanwu Star away, let's go there and see if there's any other information."

"The second piece of information."

"Once upon a time, a high-ranking leader of the 'Kasa Civilization' sent an intermediary to commission them to intercept and kill the family members of their rivals. Pulu Pulu inadvertently learned the name of that high-ranking leader and preserved the entire evidence, thinking it might come in handy someday."

"."

Chen Mang frowned slightly, pondering, "Which high-ranking leader?"

"The commander-in-chief of the Central Military Region of the Kasa Civilization holds a slightly higher rank than the commanders of the other four regions, and is considered the core leadership within the Kasa Civilization."

"However, perhaps you, Mr. Mang, would be more interested in the victims of this incident."

"Who?"

"The current commander of the Western Military Region is Li Wei."

"Oh?"

Chen Mang leaned back in his chair, tapping his knuckles lightly on the armrest. He was indeed more interested in this news: "It seems that Commander Li is unaware of this matter."

"They should be unaware of it, otherwise they wouldn't have launched an attack on the Zerg civilization, but instead would have simply waved their banners and started a rebellion."

He remained silent and did not speak again.

He could understand why the core leaders of the Kasha civilization would entrust a pirate group with tasks through intermediaries several times. After all, in many cases, it was impossible to use their own people or those with vested interests to do such things, so it was more appropriate to let pirates do it.

However, the fact that Pulu Pulu was able to deduce the identity of the person behind it shows that this middleman cannot be described as unqualified.

Pure imported goods.

Soon.

The Stellar spacecraft has arrived near the "Black Tortoise Star".

At this time, there were still many merchant trains coming and going around, and the area was quite lively. After all, it was a planet in the star system and a tourist destination, so it was impossible for it to be deserted. It was just that there were no troops stationed by the Kasha civilization.

The Kasha civilization's garrison has been led by Li Wei to launch an attack on the Zerg civilization's territory.

of course.

There are still troops stationed on the ground.

"Now that they've taken it, they really have to run away."

Chen Mang looked around at the rather lively scene, sighed softly, got up and walked towards the refrigerator next to him. He couldn't possibly leave "Xuanwu Star" behind. The war was about to begin, and this place would be very dangerous. He just hoped that the Kasa civilization wouldn't notice the commotion here.

You should worry more about your Commander Li.

They're practically attacking the Zerg's territory.

After counting the interest.

Chen Mang appeared inside the "Tianji Pavilion," where the Pavilion Master, who had already received the information, and the leaders of the other seven forces had been waiting for a long time.

"Everyone."

He glanced at everyone: "Xiao Ai has already sent someone to tell you the specific information. The decisive battle between the Zerg civilization and the Kasha civilization is about to begin, and this place will become a war zone. It is extremely dangerous for you to stay here any longer."

"Preparing to remove the imprint of civilization."

"I've added 'Black Tortoise Star' to the Stellar Train."

"Yes!"

The Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion nodded solemnly. This was the first reward they had received. If it weren't for Chen Mang, they would have been stuck here, hoping that the Zerg civilization would ignore them.

"What about the travelers from other races in Zhongzhou City? Should we drive them away?"

"It's too late to drive them away."

"Be quick, pack them all up and take them away. Lock them all up first."

"clear."

next moment--

Inside the "Kasa Civilization Federation," the Xuanwu Star, which originally bore the mark of the "Xuanwu Civilization" on the special item "Galaxy Map" of all trains, suddenly lost its civilization mark and disappeared from the Galaxy Map, becoming an extremely ordinary star in the universe.

just
No one noticed what happened.

The galaxy map shows a range of 100,000 light-years, within which there are numerous homeworlds of civilizations. No one would constantly pay attention to the affiliation of a Type I civilization.

Followed by.

A powerful suction force emanated from the black hole that was slowly forming above "Xuanwu Star," causing all the nearby trains to accelerate to maximum speed as if they had seen a ghost, fleeing at breakneck speed.

Is this a black hole?

The birth of a black hole is conditional; how could a black hole suddenly appear out of nowhere?

This is absolutely unreasonable!
but.
A black hole did indeed appear, and the entire Xuanwu Star was completely unable to resist its suction force, being slowly swallowed by the black hole. This scene was witnessed by many people until Xuanwu Star was completely swallowed, at which point the black hole also quickly disappeared.

They came quickly and left quickly.

There is no trace.

There were no strong energy fluctuations, and the only difference from before was that Xuanwu Star was gone.

At this point, many people realized that this was definitely not a black hole. If it were a black hole at such a close distance, the train would have disintegrated, let alone exert any suction.

Meanwhile, the Stellar train, which had been hiding in the distance, had already returned to "Hibiscus Star" and embarked on an unknown journey.

So far——

Inside the Stellar train, in addition to "Mining Planet No. 1" and "Blue Planet", there is a third planet, "Black Tortoise Planet"!
"It's a pity."

Chen Mang sat in his chair, looking at the Xuanwu Star slowly rotating inside the newly created space gate on the train screen. A level 200 space gate can only hold one planet at most.

He also considered putting the three planets together.

It looked like a galaxy.

It's great that we can still communicate with each other frequently.

This is what makes his own civilization look like.

Let's wait and see. After upgrading the "Space Gate" component to level 500, maybe it can accommodate more planets. There's no limit to its upgrades. Maybe one day, it can fit the entire universe into its train.

Good.

From the master of trains to the master of civilization, and then from the master of civilization to the master of the universe.

The Stellar train soon arrived at "Hibiscus Star" again, preparing to travel through the wormhole of Hibiscus Star to the "Mechanical Civilization Ruins Area".

The distribution of power in this entire region is roughly as follows.

The westernmost point is the "Zerg Civilization".

The easternmost point is the "Kasa Civilization Federation".

Interspersed among them are some scattered first-level civilizations and a large number of second-rate civilizations, while the northernmost part is the "Mechanical Civilization Ruins Area," which is tens of thousands of light-years away from Furong Star. The cost of this wormhole is not cheap.

"600 million units of iron ore."

Chen Mang silently waved his hand, signaling Xiao Ai to take a bag of iron ore to the window and hand it to the outstretched robotic arm. The price was really expensive, 600 billion, equivalent to the market value of two "Jimei Tourism Companies." That was the round-trip price.

There are no fees to pay when you return.

of course.

Whether they can come back alive is another matter entirely.

This is really not a place that ordinary people can afford to go to.

just
"."

Chen Mang turned his head to look at the several trains around him, each with thousands of carriages, and sighed. These people are really ruthless. The fee is charged per train, 600 billion for a round trip.

then--

This led to a situation where many trains were combined into one, with everyone pooling their money to go there, and then they could simply be put back together on the way back.

This even gave rise to a completely new profession: "stable driver".

That is, the leader.

After all, if the leader ran away after they went there and there were no payment receipts, the rest of them would have to pay a large sum of money to come back. He didn't try to piece things together; the process was too complicated.
The car was packed with people.

They crammed in some people who didn't have a train, explorers who had paid a fee to the coachmen. These people were basically risking their lives. They didn't even have a train, yet they went to explore outer space. It was pure gambling with their lives.

In addition, there are time restrictions on when these teams return; they usually come back together after about a year.

Not free.

He chose to go it alone, at the cost of spending an extra 600 billion units of iron ore.

in this world.

Freedom is often extremely expensive and requires a considerable price to pay.

After completing the payment.

After traveling through space for about a minute, the slowly rotating wormhole came into view. The constantly distorting starlight inside the wormhole was like a girl's diary, captivating and making one want to explore it.

After entering the wormhole.

The interior was like the wormholes he had experienced before.

This wormhole is extremely short.

In just one second, they drove out of the wormhole and arrived at the other end almost instantly.

There's something counterintuitive about wormholes: it's not that the farther you travel, the longer you stay inside a wormhole. Instead, it depends on a variety of factors and is in a semi-random state.

We just drove out of the wormhole.

Then you can see trains, guided by shuttle buses, heading towards the nearest planet.

The Stellar also has its own shuttle bus.

A train with only an engine led the way and transmitted a message over a long distance, which gave a general overview of the situation.

The Stellar train was moving very slowly, and the shuttle bus ahead seemed to understand, also driving very slowly with great patience.

After all, driving too fast could cause it to fall apart.

Yes.

The Stellar also temporarily served as a disembarkation vehicle, with many trains connected to the back of the carriages, but they were all trains belonging to the "Philia Pirate Group." After all, they still needed to rely on the clattering trains to locate that mechanical civilization's planet.

It didn't take long.

Guided by the shuttle bus, the train headed toward the nearest planet, which orbits a star and is the only transit point in the vicinity. All explorers would replenish their supplies here before continuing their adventure.

"Is this the ruins of a mechanical civilization?"

Inside the train, Chen Mang sat in his chair, gazing at the distant scene with awe in his eyes. He had thought it might be like the Terracotta Army, but it was completely different. This site was not only static, but also dynamic.

in the distance.

Countless pieces of space debris float in space, including train fragments that have survived to this day. According to the information provided by the shuttle bus, there are many places floating with large amounts of space debris in this area spanning tens of thousands of light-years.

Besides.

A small black hole can still be seen with the naked eye. It was created by the heavy bombing during the great battle. There are many such black holes in this battlefield site. Some have disappeared over the years, while others have been preserved.

In addition, you can see a beam of light passing by from time to time.

That's not a comet.

Yes, it's a light-based attack.

Yes.

Although the mechanical civilization has been extinct for many years, the traces left by it have not completely disappeared. During the racial war, countless light-energy cannons were fired. Not all of these cannons hit their targets, but continued to travel through the universe until they collided with a planet and exhausted all their energy.

Tens of thousands of light-years doesn't sound like a very large number.

However, if an "Akanon solar energy cannon" were fired from one end to the other, assuming it did not hit any target along the way, it would take tens of thousands of years to reach its destination.

The mechanical civilization was destroyed less than a thousand years ago, so naturally a large number of attacks are still scattered in this battlefield ruins.

If you're unlucky, you might get hit on the spot.

Then you can only accept your bad luck.

Don't gamble with your life in your next life.

Besides these crises, there are all sorts of other crises. It's almost like there's a crisis at every step. On the other hand, the rewards are also very generous. If you find anything left behind by a mechanical civilization, you can exchange it for a lot of money.

"Lucky Star", No. 1 resettlement city.

This place was originally just a gathering place for a few adventurers, but as more and more people came, it has become a city.

It attracts a large number of train conductors who come to take risks, as well as middlemen.

The round-trip travel expenses amounted to 600 billion.

Many people who come here simply don't go back. They stay here until they've earned enough to retire before going back. Many of the treasures they bring back from their adventures are sold directly to middlemen in the city.

There are more people.

There must be service items.

A large number of people rushed over. These people were passengers mixed in with the "horse driver" train, replenishing their supplies and so on.

that's it.

Despite the harsh environment, a planet was gradually created.

That's human nature.

Sometimes we have to admit that the human race really has a talent for exploring the universe; no matter how difficult the environment, we can always build a city.

The shuttle bus took them to the planet and then left.

The train then began to disintegrate.

Dozens of trains were disassembled and returned to their original positions. Since the "train" did not have the function of combining multiple trains, it could only adopt a relatively primitive method, binding them together with steel bars and the like. This binding method was naturally not strong and could not withstand too high a speed.

"Detected."

Inside the train, Xiao Ai's voice rang out: "Pulu Pulu said that the planet is currently 867000 kilometers away from us."

"At the current speed of the Stellar, it would take about 14.2 hours to travel at full speed."

"It's not too far."

Chen Mang nodded thoughtfully. If the Stellar train were to run at full speed, it would reach a speed of over 6 km/h. He had upgraded the green-grade accessory "Nitrogen Exhaust" to level 200.

This single component alone provides the train with a maximum speed of 51000 km/h.

Furthermore, the supermodel effect can draw on the core energy drifting in the universe, greatly reducing the energy consumption when the train is running, and it is estimated that energy consumption will be reduced by 99.9%.

The train could travel through space with almost no energy consumption.

It's almost a perpetual motion machine.

This speed is already very fast.

but
He could be even faster!
He also has an acceleration accessory, which is of a higher grade, a yellow-grade accessory called "Super Power Tail Boost".

It consumed another 13 billion units of iron ore to upgrade it from level 100 to level 200 in one go!
This accessory is awesome.

The maximum speed limit has been increased by 102000 km/h.

A new supermodel effect has been added—
-
"Super-powered tail nozzle 200 level supermodel effect": It can draw on the core energy floating in the universe, greatly reducing the energy consumption when the train is running. It is estimated that energy consumption will be reduced by 99.9%.
-
"The supermodel effect was a bit mediocre."

It's a bit redundant with the "Helium Exhaust" supermodel effect.

The combined effect of the two supermodels reduced the iron ore consumption of the Stellar Train during its journey through space to near zero, but it was still not zero.

With the added benefit of this accessory.

The Stellar train has now reached its maximum speed of 163000 km/h, which is an extremely exaggerated speed.

"Xiao Ai."

Chen Mang smiled with satisfaction and said, "Help me convert the speed of light to how many kilometers per hour. See how far I am from achieving that speed. I feel like I might be able to try to get close to the speed of light in my lifetime."

"Okay, the speed of light is converted to 10.8 billion km/h, which is about 6621 times the maximum stationary speed of the Stellar train. It took the Stellar about three years to develop from scratch to its current state."

"If the Stellar can make steady progress every year."

"In about 18000 years, we will be close to the speed of light."

"."

Chen Mang remained silent with a blank expression, but saying the speed of light never really gave him a sense of it. After converting the units, the feeling became much more intuitive.

It seems that wormholes are still the best way to travel in space.

Its own speed and such are simply not good enough.

Not to mention, even if we did have the speed of light, it would still take a lot of time to travel, barely keeping up with the speed of the universe's expansion, which is roughly the speed of light.

Therefore, the speed of light is also a way to balance the entire universe.

Theoretically speaking.

Once you break the speed of light, you can exceed the speed of the universe's expansion, and then you will have the opportunity to break out of the universe and see what the places that have not been swallowed up by the expansion of the universe are like.

However, this is only in theory.

The Stellar did not linger on the "Fortune Star" for long.

Instead, it happens after the specific coordinates are detected.

He then led the Philia pirate group further into the Star Sea.

After a leisurely journey of about one or two hours, we arrived at a deserted area. There were no more trains around, and the place was relatively quiet with no debris flying around.

Chen Mang then released "Xuanwu Star" again, stopping all of the Philia pirate group's trains on the planet before recalling Xuanwu Star to the trains.

From Chen Mang's perspective, there was nothing special about the whole process.

But for the residents living on "Xuanwu Star", it was as if the sky had fallen. The sun would disappear for a while, and polar night would fall. Then it would suddenly reappear, just like a god showing his power.

After doing all this.

Chen Mang pushed the control lever all the way, and the Hengxing train sped toward the target point. Just over five hours later, it successfully arrived at the target.

in front.

It is a star that drifts freely in the universe.

The radar detected no signs of life.

There are no traces of civilization inside.

And so it drifted along.

The "Kasha Civilization" did not only build this one wormhole in the ruins of this battlefield; it also built many similar wormholes in other areas for explorers to discover.

Such planets would never appear on a galaxy map.

If they're lucky, they might be discovered within a few days.

If you're unlucky, it might go undetected for years.

The universe is too big.

This place is so big it's perfect for playing hide-and-seek.
-
"The surface is uninhabitable, severely damaged, and the surface temperature is extremely low, around -256°C, making it impossible for humans to survive and extremely difficult to explore."

"The atmosphere has been completely shattered by cosmic radiation."

"Only faint geothermal heat remains inside the planet."
-
Chen Mang glanced at the control panel screen, ignoring Xiao Ai's assessment: "Unsuitable for living."
As long as it's not some kind of gas giant or other weird planet, there's no such thing as an uninhabitable planet here. Even if it can't be transformed into a habitable one, it's still quite simple to transform it into a place that can be explored.

soon--

A black hole reappeared above that planet.

They swallowed this dead star whole, as if it were a date swallowed whole.

These rogue planets in the universe are like stray cats, without a fixed location. They are mostly in darkness, occasionally illuminated briefly by nearby supernovae, neutron stars, or the background light of galaxies, but most of the time they are in absolute darkness.

Extreme loneliness.

but
Now, this planet has a home.

It became the fourth planet on the "Stellar" train, which Chen Mang named "Unnamed Planet". He not only wanted to explore the ruins on this planet, but also to try to transform it.

Transform it into a habitable planet.

Water supply for future immigrants to Blue Star.

This planet was originally a habitable planet with a very good foundation. However, all of its core energy has drifted away into the universe without the protection of an atmosphere.

It is an existence that even the giant beasts of the starry sky would not deign to devour.

Absolute loneliness.

Nobody cares.

Transforming it into a habitable planet will take time, and this cannot be done simply by providing a star. However, making it exploreable will not take long. In fact, at the very least, a robot army could be sent out to explore it in all directions within a day.

Within the universe.

"."

Chen Mang looked out the window at Little Green, who was excitedly leaping through the sea of ​​stars. A smile appeared in his eyes. Although Little Green was not yet an adult, it already had the rudiments of a giant star beast.

Feel as free as a fish in water in the sea of ​​stars.

He was looking forward to seeing how Little Green would perform after the train's armor reached level 180 and it officially came of age. In its combat form, its width could reach 0.1 light-years, at which point the Starship would be nothing more than a speck of dust in its presence.

I wonder what it will be like.

The universe is truly vast, capable of giving rise to all sorts of civilizations and all sorts of beings. He likes the universe.

I prefer to explore these unknown things.

The premise is.

He needs to be in a safe environment to explore.

It's like how many people enjoy sitting in an armored vehicle on the African savanna to get up close to leopards that move with lightning speed and groups of crocodiles basking in the sun on the shore.

But probably not many people would enjoy riding a shared bicycle to the African savanna to get a close look at the graceful hunting posture of a leopard.

All that's left to do is wait.

After waiting a day, we will explore this "unnamed planet" to see if there are any traces left behind by a mechanical civilization.

One day later.

The planet's temperature has recovered, and a large number of robots, controlled by Xiao Ai, have gone to the planet's surface. At this time, the planet's surface is riddled with holes, and there are not many traces of human survival.

but--

"and many more!"

"Lock this viewpoint!"

Chen Mang sat on the control panel, looking at the dozens of robot perspectives on the screen. He paused for a moment, then pointed to one of the screens and spoke.

When the screen is filled with this image.

A mechanized factory appeared on the screen and dissipated into the atmosphere, but the structure made of reinforced concrete remained clearly visible as it stood there.

There are many meteorite craters in the area.

Those are the scars left from being hit by meteorites during the years of drifting.

The factory was fortunate to avoid all the meteorites. Although the building structure cracked due to thermal expansion and contraction at low temperatures, the overall structure remained intact.

"This factory."

"It looks so familiar."

This factory was the map of the most difficult adventure he encountered on "Water Blue Star" that day, where he received a reward left behind by Princess Tuotuo of "Mechanical Civilization".

This factory was the final hurdle, and he remembered it clearly; there were more than thirty tasks in this hurdle.

Although the specific details are different, the factory in the secret realm looks more well-preserved, but overall they are basically the same. This factory is the prototype of the factory in that adventure map.

"That's really... peculiar."

Chen Mang murmured in a daze, which gave him a sense of disorientation.

The Adventure Map has always had a semi-fictional feel to it. After all, you know that those things are created, but this is the real reality. It's like encountering a building in a game and then suddenly meeting it in real life, which creates a strange sense of disorientation.

"Go in and have a look."

After a while, he lit a cigarette, leaned back in his chair, looked at the screen, and said softly, "Is the factory inside the same as the one we encountered in the adventure map?"

at this time.

He had given up hope of discovering any technological ruins; this was clearly a habitable planet, unlikely to have any advanced technology.

But just then——

"Train conductor, another robot has also found a very strange city."

"It should be a city."

"The city was enveloped by a huge, cube-shaped, thick cloud, and the surrounding ground was charred black, looking like a sugar cube thrown into coffee grounds."

"Those thick clouds are moving slowly."

"The radar was unable to detect its interior, leading to the suspicion that there may be signs of life inside."
