My Doomsday Train.

Chapter 40 "Train Radio".

The night wind in autumn is still a bit chilling.

After sitting in the wilderness for a while, Chen Mang stood up and walked into the train room. When he took off his clothes and was about to go to bed, he suddenly noticed out of the corner of his eye that the numbers on the control panel seemed to jump.
"Ok?"

He immediately walked forward to take a closer look. After checking around, he found that the remaining capacity of the "energy stone" embedded in the locomotive had become 61%.

"."

Chen Mang stared at the number expressionlessly and remained silent for a long time.

It still had 62% during the day today. The train stayed in the same place all day and the "blade" did not run. How could the energy capacity inexplicably decrease by 1%?

Think about it carefully.

This energy stone seems to be a big problem, but he hasn't had time to pay attention to it these days.

With the current load-bearing capacity of his train, one energy stone can probably keep the train moving at full speed for 100 hours.

When he was heading to Taiping City, the train's energy stone still had 72% remaining. The round trip took about 10 hours, and the energy stone dropped from 72% to 62%, which was normal.

Running at full speed for 1 hour consumes approximately 1% of the energy stone.

but.
Before he went to Taiping City, he didn't control the train to go too far. Just after the battle with the man-eating spider, it consumed nearly 30% of its capacity?

Originally, he had always thought that the "Car Blade" might be an energy black hole. After all, the energy consumed to keep the Car Blade rotating at high speed came from the "Energy Stone" in the locomotive.

I didn’t think too deeply about it.

But he didn't do anything today, and the energy stone inexplicably dropped by 1%, which is a big problem.

Could it be that the energy stone was affected during the battle?

"."

Chen Mang walked forward and carefully examined the "energy stone" embedded in the locomotive. There was no gap at all. How could the energy disappear inexplicably? After hesitating for a while, he did not fall asleep immediately. Instead, he turned on the newly made accessory "train radio" to see if he could get some information exchange.

He immediately put on his clothes again, sat on the console, and looked at a green button next to it.

After pressing it, a chat box in the form of a chat room will immediately appear on the screen.

The upper right corner shows that there are 397 people in this chat room.

At this moment, messages popped up on the screen from time to time.
-
"Bloodthirsty Bull Train": "Did that Level 3 Man-Eating Spider in Taiping City leave? I don't think there's been much activity in that area lately. There are even zombie wolves out there."

"Infinity Train": "I think I've left. I haven't been to the deserted wasteland. I've been staying in the Mohe Hills these days." "Hell Train": "The Mohe Hills are a good place for logging, but the terrain is too bad. My train can't run on it at all."

Infinity Train: "I can't run either. I'm parked at the edge, having the slaves go deep into the hills to cut down trees and then rush back. It's pretty inefficient, but there's nothing I can do. There are too few trees in the uninhabited wasteland, not enough. There are some in the city ruins, but I'm not planning to go near Taiping City until I get confirmation that the man-eating spider has left."

Hell Train: "I remember you had a level 3 cannon, why are you afraid of it?"

Infinity Train: "Hey, hey, hey, do you know how expensive level 3 cannon shells are? I have nothing better to do, why would I waste so many resources just to kill a boss? The Man-Eating Spider is a fire-attributed boss, and it only drops rare fire-attributed resources and fine spider silk. I don't have any use for either of these right now. Wouldn't it be better to save some resources for something else?"

"Bloodthirsty Bull Train": "Then you're wasting your time upgrading that cannon. If you don't use it after upgrading, it's a pure waste of resources. You might as well be like me and not upgrade it at all."

Infinity Train: "You know shit! Having something and not using it, and not having it when you need it, are two completely different concepts, okay? If we really catch up, I can still fight back, but you guys will just have to wait for death."
-
There are no chat records from too long ago, only chat records after the "Train Radio" was created.

Everyone's code name is the name of their train.

This is a chat room that only the train conductor can join.

The people in this chat room should all be from this wasteland, which means that there are at least 397 Class 2 trains in this wasteland. This number is more than he thought. After all, he has only seen a few trains since he traveled through time.

After carefully considering his words, Chen Mang typed a line of text into the chat box.

"Stellar Train": "Excuse me, can the energy stone in the locomotive suddenly drop by 1% when it's completely idle?"

He was worried that no one might reply to him, but he didn't expect that the people in the chat room were quite enthusiastic and responded quickly.
-
Infinity Train: "Well, basically not. The Energy Stone in the locomotive is basically only responsible for driving the train. Your other vehicle accessories that require energy support are basically provided by the generator. If there is a problem, it is probably because your circuit system is not well designed, and some vehicle accessories that require constant energy consumption are connected to the Energy Stone in the locomotive."

Hell Train: "+1, you must have just upgraded to a Level 2 train. Check your enemy detection radar or internal fire control system—those energy-consuming vehicle components—and see if they're connected to the energy stone in the locomotive. Just rewire the circuit and connect the socket to the generator."

"Bloodthirsty Bull Train": "The circuit system is a must for a Level 1 train. After upgrading to Level 2, it is best to re-lay the circuit so that the energy stone in the locomotive is only responsible for driving the train, and all other vehicle components are connected to the generator. This is better."
-
"."

Chen Mang stood expressionlessly behind the control panel, looking at the circuit system connecting the "search radar" and the "locomotive energy stone", and couldn't help but sigh.

It really is so.

This old pig seemed unpopular before, and it seems that he was not aware of this matter.

He immediately adjusted the circuit systems of the "Car Blade" and "Search Radar" components that required energy support. At this point, all the components on the train that required energy consumption were connected to the generator.

It should be fine this time.

There shouldn't be any more cases of energy stones suddenly losing their appearance.

This train radio is really useful. If no one told him this knowledge, he would have no idea how long it would take him to figure it out by himself.
-
"Stellar Train": "Thanks guys, the problem has been solved. It really was because the enemy radar was connected to the train's energy stone. One more question. I went through a battle yesterday that lasted less than two hours, and I lost nearly 30% of my energy stone. Is this normal?"
-
It seemed that these were the only people online in the chat room, and he soon received a reply again.
