Is it really okay to click on the Starry Sky technology tree in Star Railway?

Chapter 18 Are you still following the usual traditions? Come and see the new traditions!

Traveling in the stars is an extremely wonderful experience, as fantastic as a dream...

Almost half a month had passed since the train left the Black Tower Space Station, during which time it had made a long-distance jump. Chen Lin still couldn't forget the feeling of being in a torn space.

Inside the room, Chen Lin stood in front of the window sill of his room, raised his hand and aimed at a blue planet very far away outside the train, his eyes fixed on it.

[Build 'Mining Station' (80 Minerals)]

Only after the option popped up did Chen Lin retract his gaze and hand.

"put up."

After seeing that the minerals in his resource list in the upper left corner had been reduced by 100, Chen Lin nodded with satisfaction.

During these days of drifting with the train, using his own reconnaissance capabilities to find any planets with minerals became his primary goal.

Unlike in the game where one can obtain a planet as the capital at the beginning, now Chen Lin can only be a sucker and exchange the credit points obtained from the Black Tower for minerals, except for desperately building mining stations on some planets and circular stone formations that have been detected to have minerals.

Fortunately, there is no need to use scientific research ships to check whether there are minerals and research points on these planets. They can be seen at a glance as long as they are within the reconnaissance range.

After these days of development, he already has 4 space mining stations, with a daily net mineral income of 24 points, and energy coins as much as 33 points. Even alloys have a surplus of 1 point!

Seeing that his energy coins were almost 800 and would soon break the 1000 mark, Chen Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Resources can grow positively, which allows Chen Lin to accumulate slowly over time and use the resources at hand for development. This has to be said to be a great success in management!

The reason why he could build a large number of mining stations while ensuring the positive growth of resources was because he had accumulated a lot of cohesion of the Black Tower Space Station. Half a month ago, he pointed out his first very important traditional opening item, which was a brand-new tradition called "Control".

[Control] Adoption effect: All construction costs -20%, all construction speed +40%

At first glance, you may think that this traditional closed-door effect is only stronger for the later stage, but the project content is really useful for Chen Lin at this stage! The effect is so great that even MOD authors dare not write it like this!

‘先到先得’（开采站维护费-100%；开采站无法被摧毁、占领；研究站维护费-100%；研究站无法被摧毁、占领）→‘必要武备’（武器射速+20%，武器伤害+25^%）↗‘顺我者昌’（每次击杀敌人获得5能源、5矿物。每个敌对种族被灭绝时所有资源产出+5%）↘‘逆我者亡’（每次击杀敌人会记录该敌人种类，每次击杀对同种族敌人伤害永久+1%）

This is the first line, which is a bit violent, but there is another relatively friendly traditional line on the right, but it is of no use to Chen Lin for the time being.

‘礼仪之邦’（信任度无上限，外交支持上限+500%，信任度增长+200%）→ ‘谦和好礼’（改善关系时每日有极大概率获得1个外交支持；主动损害关系时该势力恶性事件发生率+1000%）→‘教导开化’（所有种类武器插槽+3；解锁贸易协定选项‘成为国家意志’；解锁宣战借口‘更替国家意志’）

[Control]: Completion effect: Improve relationship speed +30%; Claim cost -100%; Ascension talent +1

There are a total of 7 items under the tradition, which is one or two more than the classic composition of the Stellaris tradition. The advantage is that the chain effect within the same tradition will be better, but the disadvantage is that the cohesion required to max out the tradition will be greatly increased.

Chen Lin just clicked the first line, which is the traditional line of 'first come, first served' as the opening. The remaining cohesion can be used to click two more projects. However, Chen Lin did not click directly along the first line. Instead, considering that the subsequent projects would not affect his resource acquisition for the time being, he chose to leave them until needed.

Hamster behavior is always the safest choice. After all, the starry sky is full of unknowns, and no one knows whether the resources left behind can play a big role at the critical moment.

If he encounters any danger, Chen Lin would simply not choose this tradition and directly choose an extremely offensive tradition. Even if doing so would result in a huge loss of cohesion, it is still much better than losing his life.

"Alas... why can't this one be built?" Chen Lin sighed as he looked at the Earth-like planet under the train.

The Earth-like planet near which the train stopped was covered with 70 minerals and 85 energy points, but for some reason no construction could be carried out. No matter how hard Chen Lin concentrated, the option to build a mining station would not pop up.

At first Chen Lin thought it was because he did not have enough minerals, but now he has nearly 1000 minerals and still cannot open the construction option, which makes him very depressed during the days when the train stops.

You should know that the mining station of the stars can be described as magic. If it is initially built with a certain number of resource points, it can continue to produce resources at this amount, which is endless. Only the event chain can change the output of resources.

He is so jealous!!

dong dong dong.

"Passenger Chen Lin, are you in the room?"

The voice seemed to be Pam. Was it looking for her for something?

Chen Lin turned around and said, "The door is not locked, please come in."

The cute fluffy Pam pushed open the door with a "hey whoosh" and saw Chen Lin standing alone in front of the window sill, so he said:

"I'm here to inform you that the radio is unavailable due to an accident. The train's space readings are abnormal, and the star track stability rate has dropped to 12%. The stop in this star field has been changed from 7 days to indefinite!"

"Indefinitely?!"

"That's right. The train can't move forward until the anomaly is eliminated!"

Pam nodded vigorously. "You can ask Ji Zi for the details. She also asked me to ask you to go find her. Now everyone should be gathered in the lobby. In addition, passenger Chen Lin needs to be informed that this conductor is not responsible for any explanation or explanation."

After saying that, Pam turned around and left Chen Lin's room, closing the door behind her very politely.

After traveling for a period of time, the train will stop at a certain space node for a week. Chen Lin does not know why it needs to stop, but seven days is enough for Chen Lin to detect all the nearby planets, giving him enough time to accumulate resources to build a mining station.

The problem is that if the train stops here indefinitely, doesn't it mean that now I don't even have the chance to scout new planets? !

No way! He must go and find out!

After simply tidying up his appearance, Chen Lin hurried to the hall.

As Pam said, all the passengers gathered in the hall. When Ji Zi saw him appear in the distance, she waved and motioned him to come over to talk.

Before Chen Lin could take two steps, Sanyue came over with Xing and Danheng. Her lively and cheerful smile swept away the gloom that had lingered in his heart for a long time.

"Ah Lin, you came here after hearing Pam's notification, right? I asked, the reason for the blocked route is the star core, it's on that planet! We have to join forces to attack again!!"

Looking in the direction of March's finger, Chen Lin was stunned. Isn't this the huge Earth-like planet where he couldn't build a mining station?

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something...

Star core?

Could it be that this thing is preventing me from building a mining station?

Chapter 19: Indigenous Planet

The vast continent is covered with white snow.

Yalilo-VI is the planet full of minerals and energy in Chen Lin's eyes!

Half an hour ago, Chen Lin learned from Ji Zi and Walter the cause of the changes on the planet. After clarifying the destination of his and his team's trip, the four members of the pioneering team successfully landed on this planet covered with snow and ice in an airborne capsule.

The biting cold wind whistled past, and March rubbed her hands together and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really icy and snowy!"

"It's really snowy and icy!" Xing repeated March's words.

"Are you a repeater?"

After hearing Sanyue's ferocious words, Xing pouted and hid behind Chen Lin aggrievedly, no longer having the arrogance she had when she was repeating the lesson just now.

It has to be said that these two funny guys can sometimes really make the atmosphere relaxed. Chen Lin glanced at Dan Heng and saw recognition in the other's eyes.

"Okay, okay, we saw our location earlier and our goal is to go in that direction, right?"

Chen Lin pointed his finger at the ice field diagonally to the left and asked, "Did you guys need to pay attention to anything when you sealed the star core before? I have no experience so I need to learn from you."

Before landing, Ji Zi specifically asked him to take the initiative to grasp the team's action momentum, try his best to lead the team to explore, and avoid dangers that may endanger the lives of train members.

I really don't know what Ji Zi is doing, to choose a newcomer with no 'pioneering' experience to lead the team...

However, Chen Lin could guess something. Dan Heng was straightforward and taciturn by nature. He would never say a word about things that could be solved with action. If he met the natives of this planet, Dan Heng would most likely tell them all their actions and details, causing them to treat him with caution.

Xing usually doesn't talk much serious, but she talks a lot of sexy things. She likes to run around whether she has something to do or not. On the train, she wanders around like an energetic child.

As for March... forget it. There's no need to blame this simple-minded brother of mine. Just let her eat, drink and have fun every day and live happily.

When he thought about it this way, he seemed to be the most normal one in the team. Besides, Heita seemed to be in contact with Jizi frequently. It seemed that Jizi might have known about the knowledge exchange between him and Heita.

Carrying a heavy burden, carrying a heavy burden...

Dan Heng narrowed his eyes and glanced at Sanyue out of the corner of his eye.

"Do you want to tell me about the hole you made in the stadium or should I?"

"Ah hey hey hey! Let's not talk about it, anyway, we just have to land in an uninhabited area!" March scratched his head awkwardly and laughed wildly.

Although I don't know the specific situation, from the information provided by Dan Heng, the choice of landing site is particularly important, and it is necessary to avoid destroying the artificial buildings of the indigenous planet.

Chen Lin then asked, "Anything else? For example, are there any common etiquette in communication?"

Dan Heng thought seriously and shook his head.

“There is no set etiquette.”

"Then Dan Heng, how do you and Sanyue usually deal with star cores?"

"Explain your purpose, and then take action to deal with the star core."

Dan Heng had some doubts in his eyes. "This is the simplest and most direct way. You are also aware of the harm caused by the star core. Not only will it cause a rift in space, but it will also create many more dangerous rift creatures. Sealing the star core is in the interests of everyone. Chen Lin, do you have any other ideas when asking this?"

"I don't really have any other thoughts, but if I state my purpose so directly, won't I be treated as a strange outsider and cause trouble?"

Chen Lin imagined that if some strangely dressed and armed strangers came into the capital of the country one day, and went straight to Zhongnanhai, saying that there was a very dangerous item in your country, which was not good for you or us...

Wouldn't it be true that the guards would mistake me for a terrorist and arrest me?

How lucky were these two to not have gotten into trouble before...

"Hey, A'lin, you don't know this, right? In fact, the Interstellar Peace Company has connected the communications of many planets. There are almost no planets that are closed to the outside world, so they won't be regarded as bad guys!"

March proudly began to learn the relevant knowledge with Chen Lin.

It turns out that many Amber Ages ago, giant companies... Bah, in order to facilitate business, the Interstellar Peace Company pried open the doors of all planets with known life forms, adhering to the principle of harmony and mutual assistance, and transformed the originally isolated planets. Connected into a whole.

People on every known planet would not be confused by the existence of aliens in the world, because they themselves are also aliens to the natives of other planets.

You know, this is an era of great cosmic information connectivity, and interstellar trade is the main economic model of many planets.

"But I always feel that many things are not right..." Chen Lin held his chin and frowned.

When I learned the information from Jizi, Jizi said that several years ago, this planet named Yalilo-VI was still full of green fields, not covered by snow like it is now. At that time, Yalilo-VI was full of vitality.

Thousands of years? Could there be such a big change?

Although it is very likely that the sudden change in the environment was caused by the core of the star, this planet does not look like it can communicate with the outside world at all.

"But I always feel that many things are not right..."

Chen Lin knocked the girl next to him on the head in annoyance.

"How long has your repetitive symptoms lasted?"

"Humph!"

Xing put her hands on her hips proudly.

Ignoring the repeater girl, Chen Lin analyzed:

"Jizi said that the environment of this planet used to be very good, but look there."

Looking in the direction Chen Lin pointed, it was a dilapidated house, but it took a few more glances to barely recognize its original appearance.

Deep snow has covered the houses, leaving only the wooden boards above them for identification.Dan Heng was the first to realize what Chen Lin meant.

"The snow wouldn't be so thick in such a short period of time... This means that the low temperature disaster faced by this planet may have caused the death of countless lives. Even more serious is that it has lost contact with the outside world?"

"That's right!"

Thousands of years, many generations...

This kind of disaster, which can be described as a world-destroying level, will inevitably lead to an extreme compression of human living space. When the crisis comes, it will easily cause the death of a large number of laborers and intellectuals, the loss of various research materials and equipment, and the level of science and technology will naturally become very backward.

This is the situation that Chen Lin deduced using his common sense. Even if it is not very accurate, I believe it is not much different.

Xing tilted his head and asked, "Is Lin worried that we will get into trouble?"

"Well, that's pretty much what it means."

Chen Lin patted Xing's shoulder with relief, "I hope you can do less abstract things and be more normal in the future... What do you want to express with this proud attitude? Oh... Forget it, just be happy with you and Sanyue."

Chapter 20 We are a scientific expedition team!

After discussing his ideas with everyone, Dan Heng was the first to raise his hand to express his agreement.

"It's a good idea. We are exploring the unknown. We are extremely cautious in every step we take. We still know very little about this world."

After that, he said to the handsome young man beside him, "Jizi made the right choice to let you lead the team. I have never thought about this before."

Chen Lin waved his hands. He really liked getting along with these people. Although they were not normal, they knew how to respect each other. So he said:

"When facing the unknown, we should always be more respectful. I just have nothing to do and like to think about things. You don't have to listen to me. We are all good brothers and don't need to be polite."

Dan Heng rarely smiled and nodded. Sanyue patted Chen Lin on the back and said:

"Hey, we're all family, so we don't have to talk behind each other's backs! The four of us are determined to kill people!"
