My Doomsday Train.

Chapter 313 "The Banner of the Soul" (Seeking monthly votes)
"."

Inside the Stellar train, Chen Mang sat in a chair, looking at the screen.

On the surface of the planet housed inside the train, numerous meteorite fragments can be seen, including many impact craters near the city, but the thick cloud barrier is perhaps the most solid.

There were no signs of damage.

And the size of this city
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a long while, he said, "Go measure the size of the neon city, and then go measure the size of this city."

"clear."

He had a feeling that this unknown city was very likely the Neon City, since the Neon City had always been real. He just didn't know where the Neon City was located, and the only way to enter it was with a "Neon City Admission Ticket".

If this really is a neon-lit city.

That would be interesting.

This doesn't just mean that he truly owns the city—that's irrelevant now. The most important thing is that all he needs is a "Neon City Admission Ticket" to instantly travel from the Blue Planet, tens of thousands of light-years away, to this city!
In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of light-years have been traversed!
The resources required to create a ticket to a neon city are minimal!
So far.

In his understanding, there are only two ways to travel tens of thousands of light-years to a region.

"Wormholes" and "Refrigerators"!
The former requires a huge amount of resources to build. Even though the "Zerg Civilization" has the talent of infinitely drilling holes, and the resources consumed each time a wormhole is opened are far less than those of other civilizations, it is still not a small amount.

The latter is much cheaper.

Normally speaking, let alone crossing tens of thousands of light-years, hundreds of thousands of light-years would be easily traversed.

However, the drawback is that you have to send someone with the refrigerator first, or deliver the refrigerator first, in order to reach the destination in this way. You can't just put the refrigerator in the target destination out of thin air.

And now.

He learned of a third method: "Neon City Admission Tickets".

It consumes very little energy and can be mass-produced.

If this is indeed a neon-lit city, it means that the "mechanical civilization" of that time had already developed such low-cost, high-speed transportation components. The role of these components on the battlefield was undeniable. Every civilian component must have a higher-level military component. How could a mechanical civilization with such capabilities have been so easily wiped out by the Zerg civilization?

He became increasingly curious about it.

The more he learned about mechanical civilization, the stronger he realized it was than he had imagined; it wasn't as weak as he thought.

soon--

Xiao Ai's voice was heard in the train cabin.

"Conductor."

"Measurements are complete. The length and width of the two cities are almost identical, so there is a 70% chance that they are the same city. However, we don't know what those thick cloud barriers are. The robots will lose contact immediately after entering. I plan to send some demonic beasts in with ropes to check the situation."

"it is good."

Chen Mang nodded slightly, then continued, "Send me the robot number from the abandoned factory we just discovered. Go explore this thick cloud and try to get inside. I'll go check out that factory."

"Yes!"

He walked alone into the "combat training virtual space" to the side, lay down inside, and entered the robot's number. The scene in front of him instantly changed to the robot's real perspective.

It's like a consciousness traveling into a robot.

This is a new god-tier overpowered effect he obtained after upgrading the yellow-grade accessory "Combat Training Virtual Space" from level 10 to level 200 by consuming 13 billion units of iron ore.
-
"Combat Training Virtual Space Level 5 Super Model Effect": You can compete with other trains online and participate in qualifying matches to obtain leaderboard rankings. You can only connect with users of trains of the same level.

"Combat Training Virtual Space Level 10 Super Model Effect": Training in the virtual space will enhance physical fitness in reality.

"Combat Training Virtual Space Level 20 Supermodel Effect": Within the virtual space, the sense of realism is greatly enhanced, and all five senses become more realistic.

"Combat Training Virtual Space Level 50 Supermodel Effect": Pain sensation can be blocked.

"Combat Training Virtual Space Level 100 Supermodel Effect": Multiple custom modifications can be added.

"Combat Training Virtual Space Level 200 Supermodel Effect": Within radar range, train crew members can enter the combat training virtual space, synchronously control a robot, and obtain an immersive and realistic effect.
-
The supermodel effects for levels 20-100 are generally mediocre.

The level 200 god-tier supermodel effect allows him to control the robot with a more immersive experience. This effect could also be achieved before this supermodel effect was available.

However, it is basically controlled and commanded remotely by Xiao Ai, or by implanting set commands, which makes it difficult to achieve such flexibility, yet have a complete robot perspective, and not be affected in any way after death.

It's a god-level supermodel effect that has nothing to do with combat power.

But it works very well in many situations.

In a sense, he could have countless clones, each one a clone of himself; he just doesn't have the brains to handle it all.

If one were truly powerful enough, they could control tens of thousands of robots at once, transforming into the Zerg Queen. However, this is somewhat unrealistic. The human brain might be able to do this once it is fully developed, but it is certainly not possible now.

As for the level 100 overpowered effect, it sounds complicated. Simply put, it means that you can customize many things in the virtual space, such as "quests", "classes", "levels", "bosses", etc.

When world peace is restored.

He only needs to sell a large number of virtual game pods to create virtual game worlds, which will far surpass other virtual games in terms of realism and playability, making them a form of entertainment.

not bad.

Lying in the "combat training virtual space," Chen Mang controlled the robot to explore the abandoned square in front of him. The familiar factory gate and the familiar security booth in front of the gate were exactly the same as the factory structure he had encountered in the adventure map.

This gave him the feeling that he was having a conversation with "Tuotuo" from hundreds of years ago.

This feeling is unique.

Chen Mang walked into the factory with great interest, exploring each section. He was deeply impressed by everything that happened in the adventure map that day. After it ended, Zhang Yiren even adapted the map's contents into a script. When it was first made into a movie and shown for a fee on "Water Blue Star" some time ago, the response was quite good.

He also watched that movie.

It's actually pretty good.

Old Pig had reported this to him. This was the first movie to be shown for a fee on the Stellar, which was quite memorable. This meant that many entertainment activities, which were once monopolized by the Stellar, were slowly being transformed into entertainment for the people below.

A good activity is one that allows people to entertain themselves.

The movie's plot is a bit melodramatic.

There are also stories like the factory manager having an affair with a repairman's wife. Even people in a third-level civilization can hardly escape the four vices of eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling.

But just then——

"Eh?"

As Chen Mang controlled the robot, he walked to the "factory manager's" office, looked at a chip plugged into the computer, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

When he was in the Adventure Map, the factory manager's office computer didn't have any chips installed, which was the first obvious difference from the Adventure Map.

Curious, he found the chip on the desktop and clicked on it with the mouse.

next moment!
The screen suddenly went blue, followed by a line of text appearing on the screen.

"This is the diary of Princess Tuotuo of the Mechanical Civilization."

"I don't know who will see this diary. Perhaps no one will care about it, or perhaps it will be discovered as an artifact thousands of years later. But I hope you will take good care of this diary. It is the last trace I leave in this world."

"Thank u."

The opening consists of only three lines, simple and straightforward.

"."

Chen Mang walked out of the "combat training virtual space," sat back down in his chair, lit a cigarette, and looked expectantly at the robot's perspective on the screen.

In moments like these, a truly immersive experience becomes less important.

It's time to enjoy the show.

While enjoying the gossip, it's good to light a cigarette and eat slowly; one of the basic human desires is the voyeuristic urge.

Humans are naturally inclined to voyeurism; no one dislikes spying on others. This voyeurism isn't limited to voyeurs; it takes many forms, including tirelessly spying on your crush's social media posts until one day you discover she's blocked you.

In a fit of anger, you deleted your crush from your friends list, only to find that you can now see ten of her photos.

Strangers can see ten photos, but you can't see a single one.

Among the many forms of voyeurism, peeping into a diary is something that can release a lot of dopamine, especially a diary written by someone before they die, in which at least 70% of the words are true.

Yes.

Although it's hard to admit, humans are also beings who are inherently averse to being spied on. It's difficult to write too much truth in one's own diary, and even on the verge of death, when expressing genuine feelings, one will subconsciously conceal certain aspects.
-
"It's been a long time since I've typed on a physical keyboard. This product, which should have been eliminated by the times, is still widely used on a habitable planet within a mechanical civilization."

"This kind of gap can result from the rapid development of civilization."

"On a dozen or so main planets of mechanical civilization, keyboards and mice are displayed as antiques in museums for tourists to see, but on many other planets they are still commonly used."

"Times are changing."

"But it seems that the times have also abandoned many people, and abandoned mechanical civilization as well."

"Before I face death, I decide to design this microcosm as the last adventure map I design myself. I hope that through some of the emotional conflicts in this factory, people can understand the living conditions of people at the bottom of mechanical civilization."

"My AI is unaware of the following statement."

"It is the secret of mechanical civilization, and also its greatest shame. Before its demise, the higher-ups of mechanical civilization deleted all relevant information. I have recorded it so that future generations can know it."

"At that time—"

"Mechanical civilization has long since perished. You may scoff, misunderstand, or even think such a thing could never have happened, but I hope that the history of mechanical civilization can be passed down truthfully."

"I love my civilization."

"But I also hate him. He had so many opportunities, yet he watched them slip by, and even out of spite, he was willing to witness the destruction of civilization."

"This year marks the 295th year of war between the mechanical civilization and the Zerg civilization. What was originally a stalemate has crumbled after the Zerg civilization's military strength increased significantly, and the battle lines have been retreating step by step, making it completely unable to resist."

"Just as there are always many voices and groups within every civilization."

"My civilization is the same."

Many years ago.

"The mechanical civilization has two largest powers."

"Design institute, military."

"These two forces are the largest forces in the mechanical civilization, and they are also the forces that the government allocates a lot of funds to every year. The former is responsible for developing all kinds of train parts, both civilian and military, while the latter is responsible for expeditions and protecting the safety of the mechanical civilization."

"Initially, the former continuously developed various parts every year, which greatly improved the overall strength of mechanical civilization."

"But as time went by, everything changed."

"The two sides began to have disagreements and frequently clashed."

"The first conflict was really minor, so minor that everyone has forgotten about it except me. It was when the 'design institute' developed a new component and presented the finished product at a meeting. The military personnel commented that it was extremely useless and a waste of resources."

"I know why that military person made that comment. It's because the military applied for a batch of funding, which was rejected by the higher-ups, but then they approved a funding application from the design institute. So, in a fit of anger, they made some rude remarks."

"I have often been searching for the real reason for the demise of the mechanical civilization. I have thought of many reasons, such as the power of the Zerg civilization, the sudden surge in the strength of the Zerg civilization, and so on. But now I feel that the real reason for the demise of the mechanical civilization is that it was destined to perish."

"What is divided for a long time will unite, and what is united for a long time will divide again. This is an objective law that no one can stop."

"And the seeds of this problem were sown around that time."

"The two forces that were originally supporting and cooperating with each other gradually developed conflicts. When the design institute wanted to test the effects of the components, or to launch expeditions to a certain planet to mine special resources or hunt star monsters, it was no longer able to mobilize troops."

"And the military can no longer obtain new parts developed by the design institute."

"then--"

"The design institute allocated a large amount of funds to start building its own army."

"The military has allocated a large amount of funds to start building its own design team."

"Countless attempts by leaders to mediate have failed. This grudge does not stem from a few individuals, but from the long-standing resentment between the two sides who believe that the other side is acting arrogantly despite their own efforts. Replacing a few high-ranking officials from design institutes and the military would be of no use."

"And so it went on for over a hundred years."

"The two groups are completely separated."

"At its most exaggerated peak, the best design team in the entire mechanical civilization was located in the 'military.' This was the result of the military spending a lot of resources and funds to poach people and train them at all costs. Meanwhile, the strongest train in the entire mechanical civilization was located in the 'design institute.' This was the result of the design institute sparing no expense and pouring almost all of its research and development resources in recent years into a single train in order to gain an edge over the military."

"Extremely deformed."

"Although the military has the best design team, as a military, it cannot have too many resources for research and development, nor does it have a sufficient research and development environment. This best design team of mechanical civilization does almost no research work on a daily basis, and its role is only to put pressure on the design institute."

"The design institute doesn't have many combat missions on a regular basis, and this most powerful train of mechanical civilization spends most of its time gathering dust. Its only purpose is to be placed in the design institute."

"Both sides possess the most powerful mechanical civilizations, but neither can make full use of them."

"Several inexplicable conflicts then erupted, by which time the war had already been raging for some time."

"For example, when the 'army' train was besieged by the Zerg, although it managed to break through, it had no resources left and was severely damaged, with the risk of breaking apart at any time. It needed to find the nearest resource point and sent a request for help to the mechanical civilization. However, it failed to reach the nearest military resource supply point after seven hours, resulting in the mass death of tens of thousands of people in the convoy."

"Subsequent investigations revealed that there was a resource supply point for a 'design institute' about two hours away from the accident site."

"but--"

"No one from the design institute said a word about this from beginning to end. Even after the entire army convoy was wiped out, they secretly held a victory celebration."

"It was later claimed that these resource supply points were built for the design institute, consumed the institute's resources, and were not for use by outsiders."

"This deepened the conflict between the two sides."

"They almost regarded each other as mortal enemies."

"The design institute has no need for trains to travel outside the area, yet it still spends a lot of resources every year to maintain those resource supply points, just for the occasional train travel needs once or twice a year."

"This is an extreme waste of resources."

"Although I work at a design institute, I still want to say that even without the Zerg civilization, mechanical civilization would gradually perish."

"The war is drawing to a close."

"The advantages of mechanical civilization are getting smaller and smaller. That group of people finally realized that if they continued to play like this, something might not be right. For the first time, the design institute chose to bow its head and handed over the original blueprints for the two components, the 'Robot Research Center' and the 'Armed Black Hole Robot, which they had spent a lot of resources developing over the years."

"With these two components, we can defend against the swarm attacks of the Zerg civilization by consuming extremely low resources."

"The Zerg civilization likes to find a habitable planet during chaotic battles and then send out a large number of Zerg monsters to fight on the ground. This method of warfare will keep the mechanical civilization occupied, since this is the mechanical civilization's planet, which has a large number of its people and cannot be destroyed."

"Ground troops must be dispatched to clear out the Zerg monsters, and this process, along with the large number of casualties, will put considerable pressure on the mechanical civilization's logistics."

"These two accessories will be able to turn the tide of the battle to some extent."

"In order to get a suitable supermodel effect for these two accessories, the design institute has spent a lot of Murphy stones and resources over the years, and finally got the perfect original images of the accessories. They were hoping that the army would come to their door and beg them, but they never did, so they had no choice but to release them for free."

"but--"

"The design institute may have underestimated the military's toughness, as well as the animosity between the two."

"Even if the design institute releases the original drawings of the components for free."

"The military doesn't use it at all either."

"We would rather have a large number of ground troops dragged to planets, we would rather have a large number of people die every day, we would rather consume a large number of resources every day, we would rather die than use the blueprints developed by the design institute, and we would constantly urge the design team of our own army to develop the corresponding blueprints."

"Perhaps it was a stroke of luck."

Three years have passed.

"The military's own design team, after consuming a large amount of Murphy Stones and resources, also managed to obtain the original blueprints for the 'Robot Research Center' and 'Armed Black Hole Robot' components with perfect attributes."

"On that day, the entire army was very excited and held a victory celebration banquet."

"I sat on the top of the building, looking out at the troops celebrating in the suburban military district, my heart filled with despair. I was the princess of this civilization, but I could only watch helplessly as my civilization marched toward destruction."

"I want to do something."

"But they do nothing."

"Even my father couldn't help, so what can I do?"

All I can do is wait to die.

"For the same component blueprint, the mechanical civilization spent twice the amount of Murphy Stones, twice the resources, twice the time, and twice the number of deaths."

"Sometimes I'm glad that there are only two such forces in the mechanical civilization. If there were three, wouldn't it cost three times as much?"

"that's all--"

"The most terrifying thing is about to happen."

"It was also the biggest turning point." "Now, thinking about such things still gives me the creeps; I can hardly imagine that my own people did such a thing."

"After 239 years of war, the mechanical civilization was in a state of severe defeat. It was in this year that the number of the Zerg army increased dramatically, almost endlessly, and the mechanical civilization was unable to raise its head at all, and its resource supply was severely insufficient."

"This year marks the 295th year of the war, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will also be the last year."

"A full 56 years have passed in between."

"It wasn't until the 292nd year that the design institute announced to the public that the Zerg civilization's army did not suddenly increase in number, but rather that the Zerg monsters possessed the ability to resurrect infinitely. After research by the design institute, it was discovered that when the Zerg civilization deployed monsters, it would mix in a batch of level 1 monsters called Antennae Bugs."

"Extremely fragile."

"Almost certain death upon contact."

"This monster can grant an area of ​​Zerg monsters the ability to respawn infinitely, but it often hides in extremely safe places in the rear."

"The design institute has developed an accessory specifically for antenna worms, which can kill all antenna worms in an area from an extremely long distance."

"That's impressive."

"The design institute still has a solid foundation."

"but--"

"At this point, 53 years had passed since the mechanical civilization was overwhelmed by the Zerg. In fact, in the first year, when the Zerg army surged, the Design Institute secretly sent troops to capture several 'antennae worms' and spent a year researching how to kill all the antennae worms in a region of several light-years on the battlefield."

"If this tactic had been used on the battlefield back then."

"I believe the course of the war will definitely change because of this."

"Mechanical civilization will surely endure!"

"but"

"What terrifies me is that the design institute kept this news a secret for 50 years, without telling anyone, and just watched as the mechanical civilization's army and people were slaughtered like locusts."

"We watched helplessly as mechanical civilization veered ever closer to the brink of extinction."

"Perhaps the design institute harbored even more resentment because it was ridiculed when it tried to be friendly last time. This time, it became much more ruthless, until the mechanical civilization's army had a mortality rate of 70%, and they could no longer recruit anyone, and all the stockpiled resources were exhausted."

"The design institute has begun to hand over the original drawings of the components."

"Perhaps the people in the design institute sit in their offices every day and cannot feel the cruelty of war. Some naively believe that as long as they hand over the original drawings of the parts, they can make a final decision and let everyone know who is the most important and who is the one who can turn the tide."

"only."

"Even if the military were to equip itself with this accessory by now, it would be of no use."

"They're already on the verge of extinction."

"but--"

"What's even more outrageous is that even at this point, the military still chooses to ignore the original blueprint for this component, preferring to die rather than use it. I rarely swear, but as I write this part of my diary, I feel like cursing my civilization with the most vicious language I've ever used."

"I love my civilization."

"But my civilization is truly the worst civilization in the entire universe. I love my civilization more than anyone else, and I also hate my civilization more than anyone else."

"I am also extremely disappointed with the leadership of the mechanical civilization."

"From the beginning, we let it go unchecked, or even tacitly approved it, thinking that this competition would make both sides better. But as it developed, it became more and more intense, and we couldn't control it anymore, until it was completely out of control."

Who is ultimately responsible for the current state of mechanical civilization?

"Caused by the Zerg civilization?"

"No."

"The Zerg civilization was merely a trivial spark."

"If the mechanical civilization is united, the Zerg civilization will just be a defeated party on the road to prosperity and flourishing. The mechanical civilization has the greatest team of designers in the entire universe and the army that is most unafraid of death and willing to give their lives for the civilization."

"but."

"That's where the problem lies."

"The former is too great, therefore arrogant and intolerant of negative evaluations from others."

"The latter were so fearless of death that almost all of them died."

"I am not reconciled."

"But there was nothing we could do."

"As a powerless princess in a mechanical civilization, I haven't even seen my father for seven years. I can only silently watch this building tilt and slowly collapse, and endure the pain that comes with the collapse."

"Mechanical civilization is the civilization that has developed train civilization most prosperously within a radius of hundreds of thousands of light-years, and has intentionally or unintentionally led many other forms of civilization to also move towards train civilization."

"I left a lot of research data and experimental equipment from the design institute in this factory. If you have your own research team, it may be of great help to you. If you don't, selling it will also be a considerable fortune."

"certainly."

"I'm not sure if this planet can survive, and I'm not sure if anyone will see this final diary entry. I miss my AI a little, but unfortunately I've already sent him away. I hope he can find a good master in the future."

"I don't want to write anymore, I'm a bit tired."

"The physical keyboard made my hands hurt a bit, so I went to get my nails done. I used to look down on things like this, but before I die, I wanted to experience what other girls like."

"It doesn't feel very aesthetically pleasing."

"It's very inconvenient."

"It feels more like a symbolic label that represents that you don't have to work or do any labor, and I don't like this kind of showing off."

"Oh, I almost forgot to mention."

"The reason I didn't see my father for seven years was because I couldn't stand it anymore for the last seven years, so I chose to rebel."

"But I must say, although my father wasn't that good at management, he was very capable when it came to things like exonerating people. I had only just started taking action when I discovered that everyone around me, including my mentor, had been assassinated without me even realizing it."

"That's pretty impressive."

"This resulted in the 'Dawn Project' that I implemented in the last few years not being able to allocate more resources due to insufficient resources."

"Upon closer reflection, I realize I'm a parasite too."

"Given the extreme scarcity of resources at the front lines, I even distributed resources to various planets across the universe affected by the Zerg, hoping to save one planet."

"Including me."

"Everyone in the entire mechanical civilization is a beast."

"The demise of such a civilization was destined by fate."

That's fine.

I'm tired.

"—A princess of mechanical civilization, no doubt about it."

"."

Inside the Stellar train, Chen Mang sat in a chair and carefully underlined every word of the diary entry. It was very long and contained a lot of information, which helped him understand how mechanical civilization had perished.

A large number of factors are involved.

The internal contradictions within the mechanical civilization have almost reached an irreconcilable level.

usually.

Most civilizations, when faced with immense external pressure, will unite against external threats to temporarily alleviate their internal conflicts. However, it is relatively rare for a mechanical civilization, on the verge of extinction, to have such irreconcilable internal conflicts.

At this moment, several extinguished cigarette butts were already stuck in the ashtray on the table.

He suddenly realized that it seemed all the more powerful civilizations had significant internal conflicts.

Needless to say, the "mechanical civilization" has been internally conflicted for so many years without engaging in direct combat, splitting into two civilizations. He felt that his father had managed things quite well.

The "Kasa Civilization" is just as bad.

The overseers of Galaxy 27 orchestrated a Zerg invasion that slaughtered more than twenty Type I civilizations, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of billions of lives.

The commander-in-chief of the Western Theater Command completely ignored the central government's orders and insisted on leading all his troops to launch a long-range operation against the Zerg civilization.

The commander-in-chief of the Central Theater Command secretly colluded with pirates and slaughtered the family of the commander-in-chief of the Western Theater Command.

but--

He felt it was still much better than mechanical civilization.

At least after the Western Theater Commander insisted on launching the attack, the entire logistical force of the Kasha civilization was truly mobilized and put into operation. They were genuinely prepared to commit the entire army to the attack, rather than watching helplessly as the Western Theater was completely annihilated.

If this were a mechanical civilization, the people in the other four war zones should be preparing to hold a victory celebration at this time.

Everyone celebrates.

This comparison explains why the "Zerg Civilization" was able to dominate this region and had no rivals.

"Infinite Wormholes" + "Rapid Reproduction" + "Infinite Resurrection" + "Devour Evolution".

I won't even go into those four ridiculously overpowered abilities.

Now there's a fifth point.

"Absolute dictatorship".

There was no internal division within the civilization. Everyone obeyed the command of the Zerg Queen without any objection. They risked their lives to carry out the Queen's orders. Everyone was of one mind and focused their efforts on one goal. There were no corrupt elements within the civilization.

It's quite ironic when you think about it.

A Zerg civilization possessed a vast number of insects, all kinds of insects, but notably no woodworms.

And the historical lessons of these predecessors also taught him.

Those in power.

You must have absolute power to press all the buttons. Work can be delegated, but power must be firmly held in your hands and cannot be handed over to anyone. If any conflicts arise below that may affect the future development of the train, kill them all immediately.

Do not give it a chance to ferment.

However, whether it's because the atmosphere inside the train is quite good, or because of his personal charm, or perhaps because Old Pig's methods of appeasement are quite effective, there have been virtually no conflicts inside the train over this long period of time.

Perhaps the time was too short.

We've just escaped an environment where food was needed and safety was uncertain; we don't have time to think too much about it yet.

As time goes by and things gradually stabilize, things will develop in that direction.

However, he will definitely nip any signs in the bud as soon as possible, not giving them a chance to spread.

After a long time.

Chen Mang leaned back in his chair, stubbed out the nearly burnt-out cigarette in the ashtray beside him, sighed, and murmured, "This kind of advanced civilization is just too complicated internally."

When he first came into contact with mechanical civilization.

It's in the Tower of Babel adventure map on "Water Blue Star".

there.

He witnessed firsthand how an entire city's robots sacrificed themselves to cover the escape of a train, and the war between the robots and the insectoid monsters deeply moved him at the time.

Humans are inherently suspicious creatures.

Such loyalty, even unto death, is often deeply moving, and is considered by humankind to be an extremely noble quality worthy of the highest admiration.

But here it is.

He also saw the inherent selfishness and other flaws within mechanical civilization.

This gives a glimpse into the complexity of a civilization's internal workings.

To date, the second most peaceful civilization he has ever seen is the "Xuanwu Civilization".

Although both civilizations were forced to merge under external pressure, the merging was at least successful, with each side truly setting aside all grudges. The "peace-seeking civilization," on the other hand, did a worse job in this regard, choosing to start an internal war under external pressure.

Before the war even began, the entire civilization was wiped out.

As for the first peaceful
Of course, it's his own civilization.

In his civilization, there is only his voice, and he would never allow such a situation to occur.

ten minutes later.

Inside carriage 10 of the Stellar train, a large number of high-precision experimental instruments were transported out of the "Unnamed Space Gate" and placed on the ground elevator for transport to the "Mech R&D Center" in carriage 2.

"Mr. Mang!"

Standing to the side, Qi Kexiu looked at the instruments placed on the ground elevator with extreme excitement and said in a trembling voice, "These high-precision instruments are much more powerful than the batch we snatched last time!"

"As far as I know, even a research team from a Level 2 civilization cannot manufacture an instrument of this caliber!"

"They might not even have the Kasa civilization."

"With so much experimental data, I can quickly develop the first custom component for our Stellar!"

"Good."

Chen Mang nodded, then silently turned his head to look at Xiao Ai beside him: "Take the essence and discard the dross. Delete the dross from the experimental data."

"Understood." Xiao Ai nodded silently as well. He had read through the entire diary entry, but he couldn't understand it at all and was somewhat bewildered.

He never imagined that the real reason for the demise of mechanical civilization was that its internal contradictions had become so severe that they were completely irreconcilable.

These instruments were all found in that factory.

These are the most sophisticated experimental instruments of mechanical civilization.

It's definitely better than the Kasha civilization.

Although he had never seen the Kasa civilization, in this area, the "mechanical civilization" was the ancestor of all train civilizations, having almost reached its peak of development. The Kasa civilization was just a latecomer and certainly couldn't compare to the mechanical civilization in this respect. Otherwise, they wouldn't have treated the things they dug up from the mechanical civilization's ruins as treasures.

Even in such a highly contradictory environment.

Mechanical civilization continues to flourish, with new and highly effective components constantly being developed.

It is a time of great prosperity.

Until the stage was demolished.

That was the end of it; no one sang anymore.

Chen Mang returned to his train compartment, copied the diary entry, and entered it into Xiao Ai's database. This diary entry had to be preserved.

He suddenly felt that "Tuotuo" was very suitable to be a historian.

It diligently and objectively recorded all the true history of mechanical civilization.

Oh.

It's not objective either; it's still heavily influenced by subjective emotions, and it's even the opposite. Generally speaking, historians are thinking about leaving a lasting legacy and rarely think about "why don't I try to do the opposite and maybe I'll succeed?"

He originally felt that there were some blemishes in his rise to power, such as when he was just starting out.
