"..."
Er Dan stood somewhat bewildered inside the Fixed Starâs second carriage, looking up at the hundred heavy machine guns on the ceiling, eyes full of confusion; it wasnât his first time inside the Constant Star Train.
But...
But he remembered the last time he came, the interior of the carriage was somewhat exaggerated, but he recalled it only had 10 machine guns...
Why did it increase to 100 this time?
He knew about the accessory "Built-in Fire Control System," a part that could be crafted for a level 2 train, itâs available for every train, but itâs a green-grade accessory, even at max level, there should only be 3 heavy machine guns on the ceiling of each carriage.
This is already more than enough.
Donât be fooled by the mere 3; these heavy machine guns mainly target slaves, which are humans dressed in cloth, in a narrow confined space. If thereâs any intention, forget 3 heavy machine guns; even one is enough to slaughter the place clean.
Isnât 100 a bit of overkill?
Could it be...
An idea popped into Er Danâs mind: "Master Mang, did my original batch of slaves cause trouble after coming to the Fixed Star?"
"Not at all."
Chen Mang said with a laugh, "So far, thereâs been no riot or trouble on the Fixed Star; everyone is very harmonious and well-behaved."
"True."
Er Dan nodded; he distinctly remembered how excited the slaves from the Azure Dragon were during their farewell, almost thrilled to piecesâhow could they cause trouble?
Just, if this carriage has 100 heavy machine guns, that means the others are similarly equipped.
Total of 15 carriages plus a locomotive.
Thatâs 1600 heavy machine guns internally...
Nice.
Heâs actually curious to dig through history to see what scale of battles utilized 1600 heavy machine guns.
"Wait!"
At this moment, Er Dan snapped out of the shock and asked somewhat puzzled, "Hey, Master Mang, arenât we supposed to complete my Adventure Map task?"
"Follow me."
Chen Mang, leaning on his cane, walked towards the Gate of Space on the wall of the second carriage, known as the "Armor Research and Development Center," and Er Dan quickly followed suit.
...
The moment they opened the door and stepped in.
Er Dan stared at the somewhat hugely exaggerated space gate in front of him, momentarily stunned. Why does it feel much larger than his gate? Okay, he quickly understoodâif itâs Master Mangâs, it totally makes sense.
But upon seeing the things inside, he was once again frozen in place.
Mecha, hundreds of robots.
Various experimental instruments he couldnât understand.
All kinds of materials neatly piled up to one side.
He hasnât seen anything like this inside; does the trainâs upgradeable accessories have these things, or are they blueprints?
"Hey... Master Mang, isnât this place supposed to be top secret?"
"Can I look?"
Chen Mang didnât mind this, just tapped gently with his cane on a nearby red instrument and smiled, "Little gadget, âCosmic Receiver,â wonât explain the specific principle."
"Explanation would be intricate."
"Simply put, it can manufacture low-grade iron mines, making a level 1 iron mine for youâvery easy."
"Let me see..."
At this moment, the screen on the red instrument displayed a progress.
"67%."
"Pretty fast, already 34% in a momentâs work; letâs head outside the train and chat for a bitâshould be finished shortly. Then Iâll temporarily transfer some residents back to your train, and when you go mining, the task will be completed."
"Pretty simple."
"The mine gets generated inside the train... inside the train?"
"Yup."
"..."
...
Crisis Valley, outside the Constant Star Train.
Chen Mang sat on a camping chair, admiring the train he crafted in recent days, as if appreciating a piece of art.
"Master Mang..."
Sitting beside him, Er Dan sighed deeply, "Iâm suddenly very grateful to be able to join the Fixed Star, otherwise just thinking about my old Azure Dragon competing against a train like the Fixed Star feels incredibly pressured."
"Completely different league."
"Not bad."
Chen Mang chuckled, not saying much.
What a pity.
That dwarf man isnât here; donât know why, but he feels the emotional value he got from the dwarf was the highestânot that the guy was good at praise, perhaps... maybe simply because the dwarfâs train was the first powerful train he saw upon arriving in this world.
Counted as a predecessor.
The shock from a predecessor is the most gratifying.
Perhaps he should find the predecessor to chat sometime, once he breaks through even more.
...
About ten minutes later.
"Level 1 Iron Mine" has been thoroughly created.
Inside the second carriage, Chen Mang pointed towards the mine inside another space gate, "Hereâs the level 1 iron mine."
Then he waved.
Residents already waiting outside the carriage swung their pickaxes and rushed into the carriage, quickly entering the space gate one by one.
Now these residents are "Traveling Frogâs" slaves.
"Hey."
At this moment, Er Dan stopped a strong man passing by, "Arenât you Da Mao? Howâs it in Fixed Star? Getting used to things?"
"..."
Huddled among the crowd, the strong man lowered his head deeply, looking instantly dejected; heâd tried to blend in, hoping not to be noticed, but was still caught.
