My Doomsday Train.

Chapter 45 "Departure to the rally."

Inside the train.

Chen Mang had already thrown the pistol and magazine into the "Earth Core Furnace". As for the handheld zombie perception blocker and train order, he washed them and put them away, just in time to trade them at the rally in a few days.

However, there was one issue he was undecided about and needed to discuss with Lao Zhu.

"Old pig."

Chen Mang sat at the console, thoughtfully saying, "I plan to attend a rally in six days to exchange for some materials. Do you think we should keep these slaves for our own use, or sell them directly when the time comes?"

"Master Mang," Old Pig said tentatively, "Are you worried that the atmosphere on the train has been quite good so far, and the slaves have been working very hard? If there are a bunch of outsiders coming in, the previously peaceful slaves might start to have some undesirable thoughts?"

"Ah."

Chen Mang nodded slightly. He was indeed a little worried about this matter.

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much about this, Mr. Mang."

Old Pig took a deep breath and began to explain, "First of all, the treatment of slaves on our train is one of the best in the entire wasteland. If the apocalypse had just arrived, many people might have had strange thoughts."

"But our group of slaves may have passed through several train conductors. They are very familiar with the treatment of slaves on other trains. Not to mention the distant past, Master Kun's incident happened just a few days ago."

"and"

"We'll definitely gradually change the term 'slave' to something that can bring more cohesion to the train and motivate production, like passengers. But before that, I think we can divide slaves into three levels."

"For example, first-level slaves, second-level slaves, and third-level slaves."

"The higher the rank of the slave, the better the treatment they can enjoy."

"The promotion mechanism will be based on the total amount of iron ore handed over. As the train develops in the future, we can also change it to first-class passengers, second-class passengers, third-class passengers, etc."

"As for these newcomers, let them be third-level slaves, and our veterans will be second-level slaves. This way, after the second-level slaves have enjoyed corresponding treatment, it will be difficult to incite them to anything. After all, the price of rioting is different."

"And we will definitely accept more slaves in the future. We can't refuse to use them just because they are of a bad origin. In the wilderness, humans are an extremely scarce productive force. And how many people can survive in the wilderness with a good origin?"

"With this system, it will be much easier for us to recruit slaves in the future, and we can slowly integrate them into the Star Train."

"besides."

"I can also set up some reward mechanisms. If you meet a certain level of contribution, you can redeem a lot of things, such as women, delicious food, a day off, etc."

"."

After listening patiently, Chen Mang suddenly laughed. He finally understood why even a hero like Cao Cao needed his adviser Guo Jia's theory of ten wins and ten losses.

In fact, he also had this idea in his mind, but he always felt something was wrong. After listening to what Lao Zhu said, he suddenly became confident. Many times, people still need to absorb some confidence from the outside world.

"Good."

"Let's do it this way. You can come up with the promotion mechanism and corresponding contribution value yourself."

"You will receive these slaves first and give them some simple training."

"clear."

Lao Zhu said seriously, "I'll do it right away."

Time flew by and six days passed.

It was already late at night, and the slaves were returning from the mines carrying their pickaxes. They would have to set out early tomorrow morning to attend a meeting at coordinates "239, 1923", which was more than 600 kilometers away from him.

The journey is several hours long, so you need to set off early.

The past few days have been relatively peaceful, with no major incidents except for being chased away by the zombie horde twice. A total of 8100 units of iron ore were obtained.

With the addition of this group of new slaves, the mining speed has increased a lot.

This batch of iron ore has been almost spent by Chen Mang.

「恒星号」列车目前除了列车头以外，共拥有4节车厢，分别是2号货物车厢、3号生活车厢、以及4号和5号奴隶车厢。

Chen Mang spent a huge amount of money, spending a full 4000 units of iron ore, to build "carriage steel armor" for these four carriages.

"."

On the wasteland.

Chen Mang stood in the open space with his cane, looking at the thick and dark armor on the dragon-like train in front of him, his eyes full of satisfaction.

After being armored all over, the train's appearance has a more ferocious and heavy aura.

It looks strong.

Unlike the original, it looks like a newbie.

Of course, they are all level 1. He doesn't have enough iron ore to upgrade the "Carriage Steel Armor" to level 2. To upgrade this thing to level 2, it requires 5000 units of iron ore.

Besides--

He also built a total of three heavy machine guns, plus the one he had captured, and installed one on the roof of each carriage. It looked powerful and intimidating, and it consumed a total of 3 units of iron ore.

However, he only has a few hundred rounds of heavy machine gun bullets, so this thing is not used in most cases, and it basically only serves as a deterrent.

He also consumed 1000 units of iron ore to build an "internal fire control system", a level 1 internal fire control system. A heavy machine gun is embedded in the ceiling at the rear of each carriage. Although they are both heavy machine guns, this thing is much more cost-effective than building an external heavy machine gun, but it can only fire internally.

Yes, we don’t have any bullets yet, it’s mainly for deterrence.

Before he found the "copper mine", his heavy firepower weapons could basically only be used to deter external forces.

At present, he has basically made all the accessories that can be made for the level 2 train. The subsequent steps are to gradually upgrade it to a fully equipped level 2 train. There are now 1600 units of iron ore in the train.

He consumed another 1000 units of iron ore to upgrade the "Search Radar" to level 2, increasing its detection range to a radius of 2000 meters.

He kept the remaining 600 units of iron ore.

Used to make food and water on a daily basis.

Lest all the iron ore be used up, and no new iron ore be found for a while, and no other train be found, all the people on the train will starve to death in the wilderness.
"call"

After sorting out the harvest of the past few days, Chen Mang looked at the mine that was gradually collapsing not far away. He felt a little reluctant for a moment. As all the slaves left the mine, the mine also met its end.

All resources have been mined and the mine has been merged back into the wilderness.

Perhaps after a period of time, this mine will reappear here.

But next.

They need to find new mines.

After taking a deep breath, Chen Mang stuck the cigarette that was about to burn out in the soil, stood in the wilderness, clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and muttered.

"God bless you, everything will go well tomorrow."

"As long as we successfully exchange enough spider silk at the gathering, we can go to the Doomsday Abyss to mine Level 2 Iron Ore and Level 1 Copper Ore."
