My Doomsday Train.

Chapter 281: Dead tree comes back to life with spring.

After the train is upgraded to level 15, the biggest change is
Xiaolu woke up.

Chen Mang turned his head to look at Xiaolu lying on the chair beside him. Besides that, there was a new function on the control panel: "Accelerated Growth".

"."

He looked thoughtfully at the introduction panel of this function. The general meaning was that it could accelerate the growth of various crops in the carriage and greatly shorten the maturity cycle. It could be considered a life-related function.

not bad.

It can make the crops and fruits in the breeding compartment mature quickly, but different crops require different soil environments. He doesn't know how Uncle Li handles it, so he doesn't care about it and leaves it to his subordinates.

He can't know everything, he's not God.

Secondly——

After the train is upgraded to level 15, an additional craftable accessory is added.
-
"Time and Space Leap": Red grade accessory, requires 50000 units of iron ore to craft.
-
There is only one craftable accessory.

However, this accessory is quite effective and works great when running away.

It can be activated once a day. After activation, a portal will appear in front of the train, and you will be teleported to any corner of the area.
but.
Being able to teleport to any corner of the area is a bit of a limitation, and you can't run far. Last time he encountered two trains with this red-grade accessory, he thought it was an accessory obtained from the adventure map. So is it a craftable accessory that every train can have?

“That’s a bit of a headache.”

Chen Mang murmured that if a train harassed him in the future, he would have to keep looking for it after the other party jumped through time and space, which would be a waste of time.

It immediately consumed 5 units of iron ore to produce it, and 775 million units of iron ore to upgrade it to level 20 in one go.

This accessory upgrade has no effect.

It can still only be activated once a day, but it gains three supermodel effects.
-
"Time and Space Jump Level 5 Super Model Effect": Consumption is halved.

"Space-time jump level 10 super model effect": can consume a large amount of energy to forcibly open a random wormhole, the wormhole landing point is unknown, in any corner of the vast universe.

"Time and Space Jump Level 20 Super Model Effect": You can open up a new wormhole based on the traces at the initial point of a wormhole that has just dissipated, and this wormhole will connect to the point connected by the previous wormhole.
-
"The mechanical civilization seems to have done quite a thorough study of wormholes."

Chen Mang looked at these three effects silently. The portal was actually the entrance to a small wormhole. No one knew where the "Goblin Tomb" was located. Maybe it didn't even exist on this planet. Mechanical civilizations could easily create wormholes of any size.

Among these three supermodel effects.

The first and third supermodel effects are more useful, especially the third supermodel effect, so that next time someone uses time-space jump to escape, he can just follow behind them.
Give him a big surprise!

As for the level 10 supermodel effect, judging from the panel alone, it is very powerful!

All it takes is a red-grade accessory and several million units of iron ore to appear at any location in the universe, which is equivalent to a random teleporter in the universe.

He looked at the consumption.

A level 8 energy stone.

That is the effect of 50 billion units of iron ore.

nmsl!

Who the hell can afford this thing?

"."

Chen Mang, sitting in the train cabin, shook his head and didn't look at the information of this accessory. There were still 1.422 million units of iron ore in the train. After the harvest of Neon City was counted, he would upgrade the armor once more to level 18, and then he could go to the red area.

The monster level distribution in the red area is, with the highest level being 18.

Although level 18 armor may not be able to withstand the attacks of all trains, it can withstand monsters in the red area without any hindrance.

"By the way, Xiao Ai."

Chen Mang suddenly thought of something. After thinking for a while, he said, "You still don't remember the time rift we discovered in the city in this area. At that time, that time rift caused the train radar there to not work properly."

"In the space of a few seconds outside, thirty years have passed inside."

"A middle-aged man went in and came out an old man. Moreover, in that time rift, there was no need to eat, drink, defecate, or urinate to replenish the body's energy and metabolism."

"Remember, what's the matter, conductor?" Xiao Ai's voice came from inside the train cabin.

"What would happen if we threw in a cyber mining machine that could operate automatically?"

"."

Xiao Ai paused for a moment before speaking again: "We can't deduce the picture, but the time rift is gone now. We need to find a new time rift and then conduct this experiment again."

"Is the gentleman not dead?"

"No, Uncle Li raised him very well."

"Use him as an experiment next time."

"it is good."

at this time--

Countless spots of light suddenly appeared in front of Chen Mang, and then countless spots of light slowly formed a panel in front of him, forming several lines of words.
-
"Sorry to have kept you waiting. This is the Dead Tree Resurrection Adventure Map. Remember the classroom challenge in the first level? You've successfully cleared the first level, and 19 other pioneers have also done so."

"After 48 hours, 20 pioneers, including you, will need to go to the second stage together to select the winner and compete for the final victory in the third stage."

"The winner will receive a gift that would make countless train conductors' hearts beat faster."

"This is a great gift bestowed by the little mechanical princess 'Tutu' upon the most intelligent being on this planet!"

"A little tip in advance."

"There's a gift called 'Galaxy Map', which contains a large number of legal wormholes and their coordinates. This will help you better find planets suitable for settlement and survival. Illegal wormholes are unsecured and are at risk of collapse. Landing in the wrong location will result in a wanted person."

"Second stage—"

"All train conductors will no longer enter alone, but will be required to control their own trains."
-
"."

Chen Mang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the panel that appeared in front of him and the token in the drawer that was flashing red light.

Remember, how could he not remember.

This adventure map is the most special one he has ever encountered, a map where failure can affect the safety of the area. It is also the map with the most generous rewards, giving him a full 50 level 4 mines.

This map is originally a map of the red area.

Normally, they would not have come into contact with this map before entering the red area. However, the map located in the red area of ​​"Twilight Coast" is at the intersection of the two areas and can be hit by machine gun bullets, giving the train in the purple area a chance to enter.

The second level is no longer entered by the train conductor alone.

mean.

There are fewer decryption elements, and more elements may be confrontations between trains. The other trains should be those in the red area, and he is a level 15 train in the purple area, so he feels a little uneasy inside.

He still really wanted the "galaxy map" in the final reward.

"Get ready. We'll go in after 48 hours to see what the situation is and try to capture it."

"I think Li Shiji will have to do a lot of work by then, so let him rest well and maintain his best physical strength and condition."

"Yes!"

"."

Chen Mang did not speak anymore, but looked at the control panel screen. He was about to enter the red zone. Above the red zone there were only three areas: gold, pink, and seven-color. In other words, he was close to the strongest and most dangerous seven-color area on the planet.

It's only a few steps away.

The end seems to be right in front of us.

But he didn't know what the end was.

I don’t know whether reaching the end will bring rewards or greater crisis.

Neon city.

The business had already ended, and the residents were partying in the neon city square. Not far away, a large group of residents were lying in a mess. These residents were all numbered in the first 1000.

At first, these residents were quite excited because they could arrive in Neon City a day earlier and attend the wedding of the train crew.

This gives them a sense of superiority.

This is the treatment for residents with higher numbers.

Especially in the end of the world, it is a very happy thing to be able to attend a wedding banquet with everyone. However, things soon became a little bit strange. After attending the first wedding banquet, there was a second wedding banquet, and after the second wedding banquet, there was a third wedding banquet.
that's it.

Attended twenty wedding banquets in a row.

After that, the people numbered before the first thousand became somewhat unconscious and like zombies. If the scene of the eighteenth wedding banquet were placed before the end of the world, it would look like a gathering of drug addicts who were high on drugs.

Just like the streets of Mexico.

There was a faint sour smell of burning in the air.

Many things will eventually develop in an extremely unexpected way.

"Mr. Mang."

Uncle Li looked at Mr. Mang's back as he stood in front of the French window, then glanced down at the tablet in his hand and began to report, "The net profit of the 'Wedding Hall' project today is 1160 million units of iron ore. This is almost entirely free of cost."

"Help 20 trains and successfully complete the Golden Wedding Anniversary."

“No one chose a silver wedding.”

"That's not nonsense."

Chen Mang stood in front of the French window, leaning on his cane, and whispered, "We're already celebrating our golden wedding anniversary. Who in their right mind would choose a silver wedding? How many mining robots did you sell yesterday? What was the total profit?"

"Yesterday, we sold 110 mining robots, generating a profit of 82.5 units of iron ore."

"Total profit is——"

"6779 units of iron ore."

"It's okay." Chen Mang nodded slightly. The sudden drop in the income of the "mining robot" was completely expected. After all, there were only so many people in his Neon City now, and all those who needed to buy it had been bought last time. This meant that none of the new people he brought in this time needed the mining robot.

"How many people came yesterday?"

"2312 people in total."

“When the number of visitors exceeds 5000, we will be prepared to operate daily.”

"Yes." Chen Mang was about to give some instructions regarding the construction of Neon City when Xiaofang's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Mr. Reckless."

"Ok?"

He subconsciously looked back and smiled when he saw Xiaofang: "Why are you here? Are you planning to come to Neon City to relax with everyone?"

"No, it was Mr. Ai who asked me to come in to see you. Mr. Ai said that the Cyberminer has been shipped."

Chen Mang tilted his head and looked at Uncle Li: "Take yesterday's profits out of Neon City."

There was no further pause.

The body immediately disappeared from the spot.

Chen Mang returned to the train room. Xiao Ai was already waiting nearby. He immediately said, "Captain, the Cyber ​​Mine shows that the goods have been shipped, but we don't know what they are yet."

"It's either a pickaxe or a level 9 ore."

Chen Mang walked into the bathroom and washed his hands carefully, as if this could get rid of the bad luck. Then he lit a cigarette and strode out of the train room towards carriage No. 2 with a look of faint anticipation.

"It's a 1 in 50 chance. It depends on who you run into."

It's been several days.

The Cyber ​​Mine finally shipped again, and almost all the residents on the train went to Neon City to relax, except for the fifty miners in the Cyber ​​Mine. After all, it was just after midnight, which was the working time for the Cyber ​​miners.

Chen Mang stood on the "ground elevator" in car No. 2 that he had built using his mechanical heart. It led from car No. 2 all the way to car No. 15, which could speed up the time it took to get from the front of the train to the rear.

The speed of movement when standing on a ground elevator is roughly equivalent to that of an adult man walking briskly.

However, when Chen Mang walked quickly on the flat elevator, his speed was equivalent to that of an adult man running. The rapid changes in the scenery around him would bring a sense of discomfort to his body, and his body and eyes were a little out of sync.

My body felt that I wasn't walking that fast, but my eyes told me that my brain was indeed moving that fast.

The elevator is directly connected to the generator through an electrical circuit system.

This is the advantage of the "Mechanical Heart". The mechanical products produced can be directly connected to the "generator" without having to worry about the problem of energy supply.

All the way to carriage No. 10.

Chen Mang pushed open the space door of the "Cyber ​​Mine" and saw a resident sitting on the head of the bed looking at him eagerly. He pressed his left hand lightly in the air, signaling him not to speak.

He walked to the head of the bed, placed his hand on the dream stone, and looked at a small portal that appeared next to it.

Stretched his hand in.

When he took it out again, he had in his hand a piece of crystal clear, level 9 iron ore that looked extremely gorgeous under the light, and the capacity of the dream stone at the bedside also quickly dropped to 5%.

"call"

Chen Mang took a deep breath, held the level 9 iron ore tightly, left it to President Ai to deal with, and strode back to the train room.

Inside the train.

Chen Mang sat on the chair, looked at the level 9 iron ore in his hand, and laughed.

The laughter grew louder.

He was not laughing because he had obtained 1 million units of iron ore, but because he was happy that he had invented an area where he could obtain iron ore stably and efficiently. Although he didn't know about the trains in other areas, he thought that the "cyber mining machine" should be the only one in his area.

If others want to make a cyber mining machine, they will need 98 Murphy stones to upgrade the "single bed".

The cost is extremely high, and Murphy Stone is not that easy to collect. Even if you have enough iron ore, it will be difficult to purchase 98 Murphy Stones in a short period of time.

The only regret is.

There are too few Dreamstones.

He now has two Dream Stones in a semi-scrapped state, with only 5% of their capacity, and can no longer be used to embed them in mining machines. There is a Dream Stone in each of the fifty mining machines, and there are 66 Dream Stones in reserve on the train.

He really wants to expand the "cyber mine" again, to 100 or 200 machines.

But
There are not enough Dream Stones. Only 4 Dream Stones were purchased in Neon City yesterday.

He needs to acquire more dream stones!
In order to acquire more Dream Stones, Neon City must have more trains with a level higher than 11, and they must be old trains. If there are only about 1000 residents on the train, it will take at least 6 months to produce a Dream Stone.

The apocalypse only lasted for nearly two years.

It's a bit too rare and difficult to buy in bulk.

"."

Chen Mang frowned, thinking about how to quickly acquire a large number of dream stones. This matter was very important and was related to whether the train could experience an explosive growth. His target group was the old trains above level 11. At this time, he could not rely on Mundo. Mundo was teleported completely randomly and had no control over where he would appear.

perhaps
In the second level of the "Dead Tree Comes to Life" adventure map that opens 47 hours later, you can purchase some Dream Stones from the other 19 trains.

But it was just a small-scale fight and did not amount to anything significant.

He needs a stable source of power.

"Xiao Ai."

"I'm here."

"Find a way to obtain Dreamstones in a stable and large quantity."

".yes."

Afterwards, Chen Mang looked at the total resource panel of the train. After this month's development, the resources in the train had experienced an explosive growth!
"3.1 million units of Iron Ore, 1.025 million units of Wood, 1.12 million units of Copper Ore, 1.23 million units of Red Heart Rock, and 107 million units of Titanite."
-
All the iron ore earned by Neon City last night has been moved to carriage No. 3. These 3.1 million units of iron ore also include a level 1 iron ore he just earned from the cyber mine.

Among them, the two resources of wood and red heart rock have basically overflowed and it is difficult to use them up in a short period of time. The 1 million units of copper ore can fully support him to fight several tough battles!

Iron ore is the most abundant.

But in fact, it is the least
As long as you want to use it, it will be gone in minutes.

such as--

He now needs to upgrade his armor again, bringing it to level 18.

From level 16 to level 17, the price of a carriage reaches 2000 million units of iron ore.

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

There are 16 carriages in total, and the manufacturing cost is halved to 2.4 million units of iron ore.

The 2.4 million units of iron ore in the train turned into powder and merged into the carriage.

Train armor has reached level .18!
Level 18 train armor!
With two more levels, you can get the level 20 supermodel effect of this accessory, but the price is that the originally huge number of iron ore in the train will only be 6999 million units.

“I’m back to poverty again.”

Chen Mang rubbed his temples lightly with a headache. The speed of earning iron ore was too slow. He had to go to the red area as soon as possible to see if he could find level 5 iron ore. The mining of level 4 iron ore could no longer keep up with his consumption.

Now that he saw the level 3 iron ore, he didn't want to stop. Those one or two million units of iron ore were just a drop in the bucket. It would be better to let the residents take a break so that they could dig harder when they encountered high-level mines.

"2.4 million units of iron ore!"

"If it were used to buy bread, it could buy 24 billion slices, enough to feed countless people."

time flies.

Soon it was 48 hours later. During this period, the search radar detected an unmined level 3 iron mine nearby, but it was not mined. Although he said he looked down on it, in fact, he had to dig it anyway since he couldn't find the mine.

It’s just that the residents have been mining for a month and are really tired, so they want to take a few days off.

"."

It was late at night, the sky was full of stars, and all the residents had returned to their residential areas. Chen Mang was sitting in the train room, looking at the flashing red token in the drawer.

We are about to head to the adventure map "Dead Tree Comes to Life".

to be honest.

It felt like a long time since he last went to the adventure map. Ever since he met Erdan, he hadn't been to the adventure map for a long time. He was only responsible for developing outside and exploring the adventure map. Such things had been left to Erdan to handle.

His think tank was already standing inside the train, also waiting with slightly nervous expressions for the adventure map to be opened.

Li Shiji, Lao Zhu, Uncle Li, Biaozi, Xiao Ai and others.

of course.

Biaozi is not considered a think tank here, he is just here to make up the numbers.

"Mr. Mang."

Li Shiji spoke first, "Ever since you told me about this two days ago, I've been thinking about this 'Dead Tree Resurrection' adventure map. First of all, the train levels in the red area are basically between level 15 and 18."

"Based on my speculation, a train of this level, even if it's not the first tier of Doomsday Trains, is definitely close to it."

"in other words--"

"These trains are definitely a minority, but as long as a train fails to pass the first level in this adventure map, a crisis event will befall this area. This is extremely unreasonable."

"The difficulty of the first level is not easy."

"According to this gameplay, for 20 people to clear the level, there must be at least 100 people who haven't. The red areas corresponding to these 100 people should have been destroyed by various crises long ago."

"This is irrational both in terms of data and logic."

"So I think those three 'event crises' are very likely clues to the second level."

"That's a bit far-fetched," Old Pig frowned slightly. "Not just a bit, it's way too far-fetched. It's strange that those three crises are connected to the second level. To me, this is just some cruel selection process orchestrated by some 'Toto' mechanical little princess."

“In this way, we can select the smartest person.”

"But he wants to select smart people. What's the point of the red area? According to her way of playing, if a train fails a few more times, all the trains in the corresponding red area will have to go to see their great-grandmother."

"Perhaps those three crises were merely superficial, not that serious. They were merely used to increase the psychological pressure on the contestants? To make them feel like if they failed, everyone else would die because of them?"

"Hey, Deputy Captain Zhu, what you said is quite interesting." Biaozi looked at Lao Zhu in surprise. He had never thought about this before, and he felt like he had suddenly been enlightened after hearing what Lao Zhu said.

He is not a think tank, but a warrior.
