The Star Train's Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 154 Star and Moon Ship, Conversion
"What should we do with these demon wings?" Meng Huaifeng asked, looking at the enormous demon wings with a headache.

Meng Huaifeng has seized full control of Demon Wings, meaning Demon Wings now belongs entirely to Meng Huaifeng and has nothing to do with Morgana anymore.

The train crew did Blue Star a huge favor by driving Morgana away; they would never give the Demon Wings to Blue Star for free again.

The train crew are good people, but they're not easy targets.

Even if they sold the entire Earth, they still couldn't afford to trade it for something.

Give it to the angels?

They should be quite willing to offer some resources in exchange.

But Meng Huaifeng was a little reluctant to part with it.

Although Meng Huaifeng is not a tech genius, he is a hacker, and an advanced computer can greatly enhance a hacker's abilities.

Demon Wings has at least gotten close to celestial-level computers, which is of great help to Meng Huaifeng.

Unfortunately, the Demon Wings were too big to fit in the ticket space, making them difficult to take with me.

“Huaifeng, do you know about the cave-heaven technology of the Immortal Ship?” Walter asked.

“Of course I know,” Meng Huaifeng nodded.

“Actually, the Cave Heaven technology train also has it, but maintaining the Cave Heaven requires a lot of energy. As you know, the train used to be in a situation where it simply couldn’t afford it, and there was no need for it, so it wasn’t used. It was just that the space expansion technology was used to expand the space inside the carriages,” Walter said.

"So that means..." Meng Huaifeng's eyes lit up slightly, he could take it with him?
“That’s right. If you want to keep the Demon Wings, you can discuss it with the train conductor and Himeko and create a small cave in one of the carriages to house them,” Walter suggested.

"Thank you, Uncle Yang. I'll find the train conductor and Sister Ji Zi right away." Meng Huaifeng immediately contacted Pam and Ji Zi and explained the situation.

“I didn’t expect the time to arrive at the Cave of Demand so soon. I agree, Pam.” After hearing Meng Huaifeng’s words, Pam agreed without hesitation.

"Thank you, conductor. You're so kind. I bought you a lot of special gifts on Blue Star. I'll bring them to you next time I return to the train." Meng Huaifeng readily offered compliments.

"Ahem, no need to be so polite, it's what I, the train conductor, should do. As the number of passengers on the train increases, we'll eventually have to create a new space so that passengers will have enough room to move around and practice during the long journey." Pam said somewhat shyly after being praised.

Even if the Star Train can perform jumps, a significant amount of time will still be spent traveling between stars.

Being confined in a small carriage for such a long time is not a problem if there are few passengers.

As the number of passengers increases, some people will not like indoor activities, or they may find the practice too noisy and want to spar or fight with others.

Even the expanded carriages couldn't withstand the antics of restless and troublesome anonymous passengers.

It would be better to create a safe haven for them to run wild.

"I'll finish modifying one of the carriages before we return, Huaifeng. Don't worry, I'll definitely be able to let you take the Demon Wings with you," Himeko said.

"It's no longer called Demon Wings. I've decided to rename it Star and Moon to commemorate Ah Xing and March's contributions in working for me and retrieving this computer from the demons. Oh, and their contributions will also be needed for the major redesign of Star and Moon's appearance later," Meng Huaifeng said.

“Xiao Sanyue and A Xing will definitely like this name, but we shouldn’t tell them why we chose it.” Himeko chuckled. “I looked at the performance parameters of the Star Moon you sent me. They’re pretty good, ranking among the top in the galaxy, but given its hardware, there’s still a lot of room for improvement.”

"When we return to the universe, I can ask Black Tower and Screws to help you upgrade and optimize it. Black Tower has created a simulated universe and has extensive research in computer science, while Screws is the king of machines. They definitely won't let you down."

"Sister Ji Zi, you are my god!" Meng Huaifeng was overjoyed. With these two geniuses helping out, even if the Star Moon is not as good as a scepter, it should be close enough, right?
They've taken another step closer to surpassing Silver Wolf Teacher.

The Silver Wolf is not backed by computer support comparable to a scepter.

"I might need to use the Starship from time to time to do some calculations, is that alright?" Himeko asked, as this would speed up her research considerably.

"Sister Ji Zi, do we need to talk about borrowing? You can use it if you want. Others can use it as they please," Meng Huaifeng said nonchalantly.

After hanging up the communication, Meng Huaifeng announced to March 7th and Xing that Demon Wings had been renamed Star Moon.

March 7th and Xing were overjoyed and took the initiative to take on the task of modifying the appearance of the Star Moon, which Meng Huaifeng could not stop them from doing.

In short, they acquired two top-tier bulls and horses.

Meng Huaifeng only needs to make a request from time to time, and doesn't need to worry about anything else.

In the past two days, March 7th and Xing have been busy, turning the huge Demon Wings upside down and obtaining several Lightning Halberds, several God-Slaying Bullets, countless technological weapons, as well as a large number of divine bodies and rare computer-related materials.

Although it was of little use to the train crew, the two were still filled with the joy of having gained something.

Most importantly, these things aren't only useful in this universe. Those rare materials are also very valuable throughout the world. Selling them all to the company could yield who knows how many credits you could get.

Meng Huaifeng maneuvered the Xingyue to land near the Hai Shang Juxia.

March 7th and Star were still designing modification plans, and the Star-Moon was still full of demonic darkness. Coupled with the tragic traces left during the battle, its appearance was even more terrifying and ferocious.

The soldiers on the Giant Gorge were all on high alert, and the Super Soldier Company also quickly assembled.

Dukao stood on the deck, looking at the Star and Moon in the sky with a solemn expression: "Could this be the legendary Demon Queen's ride, the Demon Wings?"

"The train crew reported the day before yesterday that they defeated the Demon Queen Morgana and occupied Demon Wings, but unfortunately Morgana was rescued by Death God Karl in the end," Lianfeng reported.

"Since we defeated them the day before yesterday, why haven't the train crew returned? Did something else happen to them? Besides, these are Demon Wings. Who else but the Demon Queen can control them? Super Soldier Company, prepare for battle!" Dukao commanded.

Occupying and controlling such a celestial-level computer are two completely different things. Even if Denos acquired a celestial-level computer from another civilization, it would still take at least half a year to break through the firewall and gain initial control over it.

The Demon Wings flew here on its own; how could the train crew have taken control of it in just over two days?
It must be controlled by the Demon Queen!
Meng Huaifeng used EtherEdit to hack into angels, demons, and Death. They all knew how powerful Meng Huaifeng was in information technology, surpassing most celestial-level computers on his own.

Only the Great Clock and the Sacred Treasury of Knowledge could resist Meng Huaifeng's invasion.

The only survivors of the Deno clan knew that they couldn't detect any secret information about Meng Huaifeng and his group, but they didn't know just how strong Meng Huaifeng really was.

Due to insufficient energy, Deno III only retained its basic functions and was completely unable to detect Meng Huaifeng's intrusion.

Moreover, Meng Huaifeng didn't invade Deno III. He knew about the situation of the Deno survivors, so why would he invade them?

Dukao's analysis was reasonable and well-founded, and the Super Soldier Corps couldn't help but grip their weapons tighter.

"I always thought our first battle would be against the Taotie, how did it suddenly turn into a demon?" Ge Xiaolun swallowed.

Demons sound much more powerful than Taotie. They haven't even defeated Taotie yet, so how could they possibly defeat demons?
"Could something have really happened to my brothers?" Zhao Xin asked worriedly.

"The teachers are so powerful, they were crushing the Demon Queen, how could anything happen to them?" Rui Mengmeng instinctively retorted. "If something really happened, with their strength, it's impossible for all four of them to be injured. Old Du is just overthinking it. Don't worry, everything's fine," Lena said nonchalantly.

"We'll find out the specifics soon enough. Don't let your guard down now," Rose said in a deep voice.

Under the tense gazes of everyone aboard the Great Gorge, five figures flew down from the now-stationary Demon Wings.

"It's the teachers!" The Super Soldier Company breathed a sigh of relief and said excitedly.

"See? Wasn't I right?" Lena said with a hint of pride.

"What are you all doing?" Meng Huaifeng asked, looking at the crew of the Juxia who had all taken out their weapons.

"I know, it must be because you haven't had any real training with me for three days, and you're getting impatient." Xing said, holding a Thornton in his left hand and taking out a baseball bat in his right, eager to try it out.

"No, no, no!" The three buddies immediately dropped their weapons and shook their heads like rattles. The others also put down their weapons and stopped pointing in the direction of the Star and Moon.

"Lift the alert," Lianfeng waved to the soldiers.

"Old Du thought the Demon Queen had arrived," Sun Wukong said, leaning against a pillar with his arms crossed.

"Didn't we tell you that?" Meng Huaifeng asked, puzzled.

"You...you've already taken initial control of Demon Wings?" Dukao asked incredulously.

"It's not preliminary, it's complete. And it won't be called Demon Wings anymore, it'll be called Star and Moon from now on," Meng Huaifeng corrected.

"Completely?" Dukao gasped, "Making a contribution to global warming."

If they took over Demon Wings so quickly, doesn't that mean that Deno III was completely defenseless in their presence?
The super gene sequence of the Galactic Force and the God of War of Nors... Dukao broke out in a cold sweat.

No, the super gene sequences of Galactic Force and Norshen are encrypted to the highest degree. Ordinary intrusions cannot see them at all. If they did see them, Deno III would definitely be able to issue an alarm.

Meng Huaifeng had no idea that Dukao was outsmarting thin air; he only saw Dukao's expression suddenly change and then break out in a cold sweat, which was completely inexplicable.

"Teacher is awesome! Not only did he drive away the Demon Queen, but he also snatched back their iconic Demon Wings!" Liu Chuang said casually.

"What is this crocodile?" Zhao Xin asked, looking at the honest-looking Thorton being held in Xing's hand.

“Brother Monkey, this crocodile is your native god, and it’s quite powerful. It surrendered decisively, so we didn’t kill it. We’ve left it to you. You handle it,” Meng Huaifeng said to Sun Wukong.

Xingyi raised his hand and threw Soton in front of Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong's eyes emitted a burst of golden light, enveloping Soton.

Soton fidgeted, squeezing a fawning smile onto his ugly-cute face: "Um, Brother Monkey, hello, my name is Soton."

After a long while, the golden light in Sun Wukong's eyes faded, and he said to Meng Huaifeng, "The mountain demon king is uncivilized, has eaten people, and also sheltered some tribes during the invasion of the blazing sun. I will try to convert him on behalf of my master. If I can convert him, that will be good; I will protect Blue Star in the future to atone for his sins. If I cannot convert him..."

Sun Wukong glared at Soton with murderous intent.

"Yes, yes, yes, I'm sure I can be converted." Soton was startled and nodded repeatedly.

The baby crocodile has an extremely strong will to survive.

"I hope so."

The Juxia has been restored to its previous state.

However, there was one more crocodile that Sun Wukong constantly trained against.

During his spare time, Sun Wukong continuously transmitted Buddhist teachings to Soton.

Thornton, somewhat exasperated, said, "Brother Monkey, what you're saying sounds so complicated. Can I not learn it?"

"Not going to learn?" Sun Wukong narrowed his eyes. "Then what do you want to learn?"

“I don’t want to learn anything. My sister told me that I can do whatever I want.”

Do you think she's right?

"What's wrong with it?"

"Then I want to eat crocodile meat." Sun Wukong looked at Soton with a wistful expression.

"I'll go catch one for you right away." Soton got up and left, but Sun Wukong's gaze was fixed on him, making him feel uneasy as if it were materialized.

"Brother Monkey, you...you don't want to eat me, do you?" Soton suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked somewhat stiffly.

"is it not OK?"

"No, no, I can't eat it. My meat is too tough and dry, I can't chew it." Soton shook his head repeatedly in fright.

“Why not? Your sister is right. If you can do whatever you want, then I can do whatever I want too. Right now, I want to eat crocodile meat. I like it chewy.” Sun Wukong said expressionlessly.

"No, what my sister said is nonsense, it's completely wrong, Monkey King, you can't eat me." Soton instantly understood the situation.

"Do you really think what she said is wrong?" Sun Wukong asked again.

"Really! Now that I think about it, I still think what you taught me just now was right." Soton nodded hurriedly.

"You're teachable." Sun Wukong nodded in satisfaction. "Remember, rules don't just protect the weak; they also protect yourself. If you don't want to follow these rules, then I don't need to explain them to you anymore."

……

Upon learning that the train crew was to be modified into the Star and Moon, the higher-ups immediately dispatched designers from various related fields to assist, and all kinds of building and decoration materials were transported over as if they were free.

After the designers refined and optimized March 7th and Star's renovation requirements and obtained their approval, the renovation project began in full swing.

The computer's main body is located in the core of the Star and Crescent, occupying about 50-60% of its volume. Everything on the outside serves only a protective and decorative purpose, with at most an operating console, and has little impact on the main body of the computer.

The demon-themed buildings on the surface of the Star and Moon were all demolished and replaced with training grounds, tennis courts, cinemas, cafes, swimming pools, bamboo forests and other recreational facilities.

　I only realized this problem now; I chose the wrong time period. I should have chosen after the war started, then the train crew's intervention would have been justifiable. Now, although we know someone is planning an invasion, they haven't actually invaded, so it seems like we're interfering too much. But letting the invasion continue unchecked isn't in the train crew's style either. My writing is a bit poor; I apologize.
