My Doomsday Train.

Chapter 282: "Mechanical civilization is not yet extinct!"

He couldn't get a word in here, nor could he offer any constructive suggestions.

The only reason he can stand here is because Mr. Mang trusts him.

But he didn't want to appear to be brainless, so all he could do was agree with some arguments that he thought made sense.

"Li Shiji, do you know the population of Blue Water Planet?"

"The latest figure before the apocalypse was 147 billion people."

"Do you know how many Doomtrains there are?"

"do not know."

Chen Mang looked at Li Shiji and whispered, "Let me tell you, when we were still in the Tieling wilderness, we had 5000 million trains. Now that so much time has passed, this number may be less, or it may be more."

"All trains—"

"We need at least 100 residents to develop smoothly. Otherwise, the mining process will be very slow. We've only just started selling mining robots, but we haven't sold many."

"Let me clarify. The Mining Robot is a gold-grade accessory, extremely rare, and not available on every train."

"Just do the math. If these 147 billion people are evenly distributed across 5000 million trains, how many people can fit on each train?"

"294 people."

Before Li Shiji could speak, Xiao Ai gave an accurate answer.

In terms of calculation, no one in the entire train is faster than him!

"it is good."

Chen Mang nodded again. "The 147 billion population figure is the latest population data before the apocalypse. One year after the apocalypse, the number of trains carrying 5000 million people will be there. So, a lot of people must have died during that year, right?"

"You should be able to feel the death rate."

"According to the most conservative mortality rate, if half of the population dies, there is only a 50% mortality rate, which means a population of 73.5 billion. After deducting the population of 5000 million train conductors, the remaining population is exactly 73 billion."

"That means there are an average of 146 people on each train."

"It's no exaggeration to say that if every train had this number of people, I have reason to believe that 99% of the trains would have been destroyed long ago. This number of residents is hardly enough to maintain the normal operation of the trains. It's too small. It might be enough in the early stages, but it won't be enough after a little development."

"so--"

"I have two possibilities."

"The first possibility is that of the 5000 million trains in the Tieling Wasteland, two-thirds were newly built Class 1 trains. There were only a few people on these trains, and the remaining population was evenly divided among the remaining trains."

"Second Possibility"

Chen Mang paused and did not continue speaking.

A possibility flashed through Li Shiji's mind, and he took over the conversation, somewhat horrified, "The second possibility is that these 5000 million trains may not only include trains on the Blue Water Planet, but also trains on other planets?"

"Other planets also experiencing apocalypse?"

"Hmm." Chen Mang nodded and said softly, "That's a possibility. That's why I place so much importance on this 'Dead Tree Resurrection' adventure map. If that were truly possible, then the Mechanical Princess Tutu wouldn't just select the smartest individuals from one planet, but would screen across multiple planets."

"If only I could get in touch with the train conductors on other planets that are experiencing apocalypse."

"Then we can send out 'Neon City Tickets' and see if we can connect Neon City to other planets and make it bigger and stronger!"

"."

Li Shiji was silent for a long time with a complicated expression before he said quietly, "I really want to say this. Before the apocalypse, the Federation had not detected any planets with life forms near the Blue Water Planet."

"Civilization level crushing, not on the same level, so forget it."

Just as a few people were talking.

The token in the drawer that had been flashing suddenly shattered, and countless red dots emerged from the token, forming a deep red portal in front of the train. It slowly rotated, like a black hole stained with blood, extremely tempting.

Everyone is afraid of black holes.

but.
Who wouldn’t want to keep a black hole in the fish tank at home? It’s really beautiful and looks delicious, making you want to take a bite.

Chen Mang didn't say anything else.

Instead, he sat on the chair and slowly pushed the joystick. The train slowly drove into the crimson portal in front of him and once again entered the "Dead Tree Comes to Life" adventure map.

Just like a baby seeing the world for the first time, everything in front of him suddenly became clear.

The Star Train appeared in a square.

A huge square.

The square is as big as several football fields and is surrounded by white fog. At a glance, you can only see the square and the 19 trains of various shapes parked on the square.

The enemy radar is disabled.

Chen Mang looked at the control panel screen. His enemy detection radar and resource detection radar were disabled. He could not see the component levels of other trains, but they all looked very powerful.

These 19 trains have all been expanded.

However, the number of carriages is relatively short, basically six or seven including the locomotive, and nine at most. The number of carriages on the Star, including the locomotive, is 15, and this does not include the behemoth carriages.

His train is the largest here.

It looks extremely eye-catching.

Big and long.

It was as if he was the flagship of a fleet, and the other trains were just his frigates, not on the same level at all.

19 trains were located in a fan shape in the square. Although he could not see the normal situation inside the other trains, he could vaguely feel that many people were looking at him, or to be more precise, at his Star Train.

next moment--

A huge light curtain appeared out of thin air above the square, ensuring that every train could be clearly seen.
-
"Fellow pioneers, welcome to the second level of the adventure map 'Dead Trees Reborn'."

"When humans become archaeologists of their own civilization, the answers are often more chilling than doomsday."

"After 180,000 years of fierce fighting, the mechanical civilization was ultimately defeated."

"The fate of a defeated civilization is far more horrific than you can imagine. The machine civilization has been defeated, but the seeds of machine civilization will not be completely wiped out. One day, a seed belonging to the machine civilization will sprout again and declare to the entire universe—"

"Mechanical civilization is not yet extinct!"

"One hundred and eighty thousand years—this is a very symbolic number in the history of machine civilization. However, that happened so long ago that it can't even be found in the historical databases of machine civilization. Sadly, this symbolic number ultimately became the death knell of machine civilization."

"And in the Dead Tree Resurrection Adventure Map, there's a seed left behind by the mechanical civilization. This reward will only be given to those who deserve it. If you have the ability, please take it."

"And let it take root and sprout!"

"Second stage—"

"From now on, you need to reach the destination as quickly as possible."

"In this map, trains cannot attack each other."

"48 hours." "The first five players to clear the level will advance to the third level."

"Follow us, pioneers!"
-
next moment!
The white fog around the square suddenly dissipated, and a ten-thousand-meter-deep cliff surrounded the square. There were twenty one-hundred-meter-long bridges connecting the square to the other end of the cliff.

The white mist in the sky also dissipated.

As the white mist dissipated, tens of thousands of glass cabins appeared hanging on the ceiling dozens of meters above the ground. Each transparent glass cabin contained organs grown with flesh, blood vessels, human nerves and wheels.

Heart, liver, and lungs.

A mechanical heart is beating slowly inside the container.

The twenty bridges were made up of countless gears and steel blades, and were spinning rapidly like a metal storm. It was obviously not possible to pass through them normally.

There is a screen next to each bridge showing the name of a train.

Soon he saw "Fuck Everything·Star" on the screen next to the bridge in front of him.

obviously.

There are 20 bridges in total, and each train has its own bridge. Whoever passes through his or her bridge first can leave here first. The other side of the cliff is not the end, and there is still white fog behind the cliff.

Leaving the square means just leaving the starting point.

"."

Chen Mang in the train compartment quickly looked at the scene in front of him and remained silent. He had at least seven or eight ways to leave here!

Spider silk, spider leg jumping, bunny clouds, etc.

Where there is a puzzle to be solved.

How could a cliff a hundred meters wide possibly stop the Star?

but--

The problem is that the trains here are basically at least level 15 trains, and they are all in the red area. Trains of this level are basically high-level trains on the Blue Water Planet. How could they not be able to fly? It is no exaggeration to say that they can walk on the hundred-meter-wide cliff as if it were flat ground.

just
The second level had already started for a minute, and not a single train had moved. Everyone was staying quietly where they were, as if they had no idea the second level had even started.

"Two possibilities."

Li Shiji stood inside the train and spoke quickly, "The first possibility is that this is an obvious trap. Using other means to cross this hundred-meter-wide cliff could trigger a crisis that could destroy the train."

"The only way to decrypt it is to stabilize the bridge, which is spinning like a metal storm, and then allow normal driving."

"The second possibility is that this level rewards pioneers."

"This adventure map constantly emphasizes the concept of pioneers, which means that this adventure map values ​​the train that can be the first to face the unknown and choose to move forward. In this level, you might be able to fly directly through it."

"And most likely only the first train can fly through like this, while the remaining trains will have to continue to pass through the customs honestly and dutifully."

"."

Chen Mang nodded without saying anything. It was obvious to everyone, and the other 19 trains could naturally see it as well, but no one moved.

forerunner.
That sounds nice, but what's the difference between that and the Suicide Squad?

Moreover, he really felt that with his level 18 armor, he didn't need to be afraid of the metal storm on the bridge at all. He just didn't believe that the metal storm could even affect level 18 armor?

The experimental method is also very simple. Just dismantle a carriage and try it and you will know.

If he were the only one here, he would have tried it a long time ago.

But so many trains here.

He didn't really want to do something that would benefit others. He would pay all the costs and everyone would share the benefits.

For a while.

Everyone was frozen here. Ten full minutes had passed without a single train moving. Everyone stayed in their own train compartments, observing their surroundings, and seemed quite patient.

"Do you see anything?"

Chen Mang stared at the tens of thousands of mechanical organs on the ceiling and rubbed his dry eyes. He couldn't see anything. "I feel like these mechanical organs might not be clues to the decryption, but rather something like interference options."

Then he pushed the joystick and drove the Star Train slowly towards the bridge corresponding to the Star Train, preparing to conduct an experiment.

When the train is about to reach the bridge.

He had just stepped off the Star Train and looked at the rapidly rotating bridge in front of him, which was made up of countless gears and steel blades. He didn't like puzzles very much, so he planned to do a more crude experiment.

"Buzzing."

With a buzzing sound, a small drone from the "Swarm Platform" accessory took off from the Star Train and flew towards the opposite side of the cliff. This accessory can produce reconnaissance drones, but he rarely uses them.

Chen Mang stared at the drone.

unobstructed.

It was extremely easy to reach the other side of the cliff.

"boom"

The roar of the engine sounded inside the train, and a Viper unmanned fighter jet, using the interior of the carriage as a runway, shot out from the rear of the train. After circling half a circle in the air, it also successfully arrived on the other side of the cliff.

After completing these two experiments.

Chen Mang waited patiently for a minute. When he saw that the other 19 trains hadn't reacted, he couldn't help but sigh. This group of people were really patient. Then he turned his head and looked at Lao Zhu: "Bring it down."

soon--

A ferocious man who was satisfied with his cursing was dragged off the train by Biaozi and others.

These were the group of desperate criminals who attacked Biaozi in the ruined city of the "Stone Man Area". After being captured, they were never killed, but kept as consumables. Soon a train order was activated, and this strong man was stuffed into the newly built train.

This Class 1 train naturally couldn't fly over.

The spider's legs are non-detachable parts, but he has his own way.

next moment!
Chen Mang slowly raised his cane, and a strong magnetic force came from the "strong magnet". The Level 1 train slowly flew in the air and shot towards the opposite side of the cliff.

Can't fly?
He has too many tricks!

Whenever he wants to fly, he can perform different flying postures in several ways.

However.
Just as the train reached the top of the cliff.

The space above the cliff suddenly began to tear apart. Almost in an instant, the unarmored Level 1 train turned into countless iron filings, fell into the extremely dark space gap, and disappeared.

The dead can no longer die.

A split second!

The traps around the square turned out to be space shattering.
