My Doomsday Train.

Chapter 378 Virtual Online Game 'New Universe'. (Seeking monthly votes)
After giving the instructions...

Chen Mang sat down in the train cabin and stopped his current work of collecting stars. The efficiency was too low, and without a powerful magnet to help him complete the task, it would take a lot of time.

Even if a strong magnet doesn't work, he has to find another way.

Simply harvesting without proper care is definitely not an option.

He looked at the wonder of civilization he had just seen on the train screen.

"New Universe".

This is the fifth wonder of human civilization, obtained when the "Gate of Space" is upgraded to the maximum level. It is also located in carriage 13, appearing directly inside the train and placed there by him.

The first four are—

"Silent Insects", "Silent Gods", "Miracle Descends", "One Finger".

Suspended in mid-air above carriage 13, it resembles a galaxy and displays countless faint points of light, appearing like a 3D projection in the air. It is highly visually appealing and a remarkable exhibit.

Its effect is...
-
"A special wonder. For every planet a civilization possesses that it brings into the train, a point of light will be lit on the wonder of its civilization."
-
"Oh?"

Chen Mang raised an eyebrow and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He had wondered why some of the "new universe" civilization wonders floating in the air above carriage 13 looked brighter. It turned out that some of the points of light were lit up by existing planets inside the train.

interesting.

I didn't expect there would be a collaborative effect.

If the "powerful magnet" can randomly attract planets, then he can not only possess a large number of stars, but also completely illuminate this civilization's wonder. It is unknown what use it will be after it is illuminated.

Now all that's left is to wait for the original design of the powerful magnet to be manufactured.

The pressure was placed on Qi Kexiu.

Then he looked again at a new panel that appeared on the train control panel screen.
-
"Human civilization, civilization empowerment: For each civilization wonder built that is recognized by the rules of the universe, you will receive a box containing a random mysterious reward, up to a maximum of nine." (Seven Colors)

"Human civilization has successfully created a marvel of civilization recognized by the rules of the universe, and the universe has named it the 'New Universe'."

"Successfully obtained a box containing a random mystery reward."
-
Time to unpack again.

This is the fifth box he has obtained.

The time before that it was cigarettes, the last time it was a lighter, I wonder what it will be this time.

It can't be a bar, can it?

As Chen Mang pondered this, he opened the box on the table. The next moment, he stood there silently, expressionless. Inside the box was indeed a beer.

Is it really alcohol?

Does this thing have telepathy?
He picked up the bottle of beer without any logo and fiddled with it in his hand. It was a special item, a special item targeting civilization. The special items that came out of this box were mostly targeted at civilization, and very few were targeted at individuals.

After all, in the face of civilization, the strength of an individual is insignificant.
-
"Item Effect": When your civilization issues a 'prohibition order' and the enforcement is more than 90% effective, a drop of nectar will be produced in this beer bottle every 10 years. After consuming it, you will receive the power of immortality from the universe and will never die of old age.

When the 'prohibition order' is lifted, or the actual enforcement of the prohibition is less than 90%, the item will become invalid, and all those who consume the nectar will lose their immortality.
-
"interesting."

Chen Mang looked thoughtfully at the item's effect. He didn't really need the elixir of immortality, but he found the item quite interesting. It was tied to a civilization's policy and could potentially alter the course of a civilization's development.

"Train conductor, should human civilization implement a prohibition on alcohol?"

"Need not."

Chen Mang waved his hand. Although he didn't particularly like drinking, there really wasn't a good substitute for alcohol when people were happy, and it was truly indispensable for a civilization.

The main thing is
10 years.

It would take 10 years after the Prohibition Act was enacted before a single drop of nectar could be obtained.

He couldn't wait that long.

At the current pace, in 10 years, if he doesn't want to eat beef, there won't be a single cow left in the entire universe, so he won't need this prop at all.

As for the transaction.

No need for that at all.

He no longer needs to make deals with any civilization. The entire universe is a land waiting for him to conquer. Everything born in the universe belongs to him. There is no reason for him to trade with himself.

All that's left is to wait for the original blueprints for the "powerful magnet" parts to be developed.

At this point, Chen Mang seemed to be deep in thought.

"Shouldn't we find a new research team?"

"Human civilization is now at level eight. Qi Kexiu's research team was actually found within the level one civilization, the 'Peace-Seeking Civilization,' so they might indeed be falling behind in terms of advancements."

"We need to go to those advanced civilizations and find a new research team."

"A god-level civilization like 'human civilization' is pretty good."

"Go and have a look first."

One day later.

Chen Mang successfully arrived at a prosperous commercial planet called "Annie Star" on the god-level civilization "Human Civilization" by creating wormholes and making multiple transfers.

The entire process went unnoticed.

His trains and wormholes are absolutely concealed, and no one can detect them. Even the god-level civilization "human civilization," which also possesses fully-equipped radar, cannot detect them; they are a level higher.

As their train slowly made its way through the official channels to the train transfer station on "Annie Star," they easily passed the verification process by scanning.

They were an inspection team from a large corporation.

For a civilization of god-like level like "human civilization," the operation of its society is inevitably inseparable from the management of advanced AI. And Xiao Ai, who has already reached the maximum level, can easily infiltrate the AI ​​of all trains and create false information that can be verified in the database.

Basic operations.

"Good."

Chen Mang stood on a bustling street in the heart of Annie Star, gazing at the vibrant crowds. People of all skin colors were there, and his yellow skin didn't seem particularly out of place. However...
The difference is truly enormous compared to his human civilization.

From a visually intuitive perspective.

Every now and then, a person would walk by on the street, completely transparent and composed of countless blue and white codes. There was no flesh, no organs, no blood and flesh. The person looked like a programmer who had stayed up all night writing code and died suddenly.

He learned from a nearby billboard that these people were called "mechanical people".

simply speaking.

It means it has abandoned all organic carbon-based forms, has no flesh and blood, no disease, no life and death, and of course, it cannot have sex, and it has no penis.

By completely energizing itself, with its data stored at the data center, it can travel to another planet tens of millions of light-years away in seconds via data transfer.

The activity area has increased many times over.

The billboard detailed the benefits of this format, and it could even be free!
Completely free, not a penny charged.

"Conductor."

Xiao Ai, who was standing nearby, quickly obtained detailed information about this form by accessing the database: "This form does indeed have no drawbacks. Even sexual intercourse can be realistically simulated through data input. Theoretically, it is indeed possible to achieve immortality."

"The only drawback is—" "The data must be stored in a 'data center.' Once your data is deleted from the data center, you are truly dead. However, storing your data in a data center is expensive."

"Transforming oneself into a mechanism is essentially equivalent to becoming a slave to the data center."

"You have to keep working until you can't earn any more money."

"The advertisements say that after becoming a Mechanism Person, you don't need to buy a house, you don't need to rest, you don't need to sleep, you don't need to buy a car, you can go wherever you want, and you can go to any place through the data transfer center."

"In reality, once you become a mechanism user, you have to work all the time to ensure that you can afford the next period's storage fees."

"Ah."

Chen Mang nodded slightly. From this perspective, it was clear that the god-level civilization "human civilization" did not control capitalism within its own civilization. It did not mind marketization; for a civilization to develop and prosper, marketization was essential.

In his civilization today, a commoner can buy many things at a supermarket, things that are either impossible to make themselves or would be too costly to make.

This is a product of market forces.

This is valuable.

However, if the enterprises within a civilization are not properly managed and are too focused on making money, this situation will occur, and he does not want to see this happen to the enterprises within his civilization.

but
Based on his observations and the information on the communication platform of the god-level civilization "Human Civilization," it is clear that the people of this civilization have a strong sense of identity with their own civilization.

That's a bit of nonsense.

What god-like civilization would lack a sense of identity with its own civilization?

Besides.

He also saw many interesting things.

such as--

Some clothes that can be changed in style and color at will.

An expensive earring is essentially a miniature black hole.

A university student's graduation project is to design a working universe model.

"History repeats itself" has become a popular immersive theater format.

It's essentially "time travel," but it's become more popular here. Older couples often like to go back and look at how they used to hold hands and fall in love when they were young.

It's kind of like a debriefing.

Many people enjoy downloading replays to review and appreciate their performance when they play exceptionally well in a game. Similarly, in history replays, people can also reflect on the highlights of their own lives.

These are not differences in combat strength.

It's not a fully upgraded radar, nor is it fully upgraded armor.

It's just everyday life.

It must be admitted that human civilization is currently weak in foundation and has a long way to go before reaching the level of a god-like civilization. To put it simply, if you randomly pull someone out of their civilization and ask them what level of civilization "humanity" is, they will be somewhat uncertain and stammer.

no way.
Human civilization has developed too fast.

Every time a civilization advances, all textbooks and official websites regarding the current civilization level must be updated.

The foundation must be solid.

"Oh?"

at this time--

Chen Mang noticed something that attracted him, so he walked to the most bustling part of the city, where the same advertisement was displayed on the exterior screens of the tall buildings on both sides of the street.

"The virtual online game 'New Universe' is now officially in open beta!"
Virtual online games.

This is a concept that's nothing new. He had already seen it in lower-level civilizations. In fact, virtual reality games were already quite developed in his own civilization. In the god-level civilization "Human Civilization," virtual reality games were naturally a common form of entertainment.

The promotion for this virtual online game is quite interesting.

Claimed to be the largest "virtual online game" in the entire universe ever, it features a fully-fledged AI with 10000 levels of AI and utilizes 100% of that AI's computing power. It also boasts a map that is one-to-one with the observable universe and countless planets for players to explore.

It offers countless unexpected events for players to discover.

It offers countless unexpected encounters that will surprise players.

The game format is very simple.

It's a development model called "Train Civilization," where players need to start from scratch, collect various resources to build their own trains, and gradually join other people's civilizations or establish their own to conquer the universe.

This gimmick is already pretty impressive.

Using 100% of the computing power of a fully-level AI is far more impressive than Xiao Ai. So far, there is nothing on the Stellar Train that is worth Xiao Ai consuming 100% of its computing power for.

Putting a fully-leveled AI into a single game is clearly not the kind of capability a company should have.

No company, not even one from a god-like civilization, could possibly create an AI with a capacity of 10000.

Even if there were resources to create it, civilization would not agree; all resources would be confiscated, and civilization would have its own uses for them.

the most important is--

This game has even more explosive gimmicks!

The virtual reality game "New Universe" is jointly launched by 27 god-level civilizations and offers multiple races to choose from, each with its own racial talents, except for humans, of course.

It is an almost perfect one-to-one replica of the structure of civilizations in the current universe.

This gimmick is explosive enough.

With 100% computing power provided by a fully-level AI, and the data center capable of accommodating enough players, using a fully-level AI specifically for gaming is truly overkill.

"This isn't right."

Chen Mang narrowed his eyes slightly. This situation was clearly not as simple as a game. He had a feeling that there was something he didn't know.

"Xiao Ai, go and find out what the real purpose of this game is."

"Yes."

Having Xiao Ai is like having an intelligence center with you wherever you go.

just
Many god-level civilizations possess fully-level AI, which means that everyone is aware that their AI databases are at risk of being hacked. As a result, they tend to prefer physical storage methods, making many classified information undetectable.

soon--

Xiao Ai said somewhat strangely, "I found some information about our civilization."

"In the game's backstory, there is an eighth-level civilization called 'Human Civilization,' led by Chen Mang, which is a chaotic civilization."

"Belongs to the villains."
