Chapter 812 - 330: Civilization Broadcast

The only pity is—

This "Fixed Star" can only support the train by providing energy for speed, it can’t be used for other components. If it could be used for the "Akanon Light Energy Main Cannon," that would be great. A single fixed star is equivalent to massive amounts of ammunition; imagine how many shots you could fire.

Directly equipping the Akanon Main Cannon would turn it into a rapid-fire cannon.

The next step is to upgrade the Tail Spray!

The strongest seven-color level tail spray within his train is the "SPY-7 Doppler Tail Spray," which he upgraded to Level 200. This is a component purely based on numerical value, without any mechanisms. From Levels 5 to 200, the supermodel effect at each level is a sharp increase in speed, with no additional mechanisms.

Absolute values bring absolute numbers.

With the support of this component, the train’s speed has reached 3.37 million km/hour!

This is an extremely frightening number.

But there’s still a limit.

It can still be improved.

As long as it is upgraded to Level 500, and with the support of the Gate of Space, this number will experience another large surge.

The next moment—

After consuming 100 trillion units of iron ore, the seven-color level component "SPY-7 Doppler Tail Spray" was upgraded to Level 500 in one go!

The train now contains 197 trillion units of iron ore internally, and just this one component has consumed half of the train’s iron ore reserves.

This already represents the resource reserves on Gemini Star.

But!

This is also the first Level 500 seven-color level component on the Fixed Star Train!

The enhancement it brings is also enormous!

-

"SPY-7 Doppler Tail Spray Level 500 Supermodel Effect": Sharp speed surge.

-

And the train’s maximum speed has now reached—

"98.77 million km/hour"!

This is an extremely astonishing speed, almost close to the speed at which extreme celestial bodies move in the cosmos, equivalent to one-tenth the speed of light.

To give an example.

If he were to return to Blue Star before his traversal, using this speed from Blue Star to the Moon would only take 14 seconds, and to the Sun would take less than two hours.

Theoretically speaking.

If his train armor is hard enough, the train itself would become a deadly weapon at this moment, already approaching super-high speeds of science fiction level.

This is the change brought by Level 500, seven-color level components!

"..."

Sitting inside the train cabin, Chen Mang contentedly admired these values, pure values, pure aesthetics, approaching one-tenth the speed of light.

In this light...

The train’s lifetime ambition to achieve speeds close to light speed doesn’t seem too difficult.

After all—

This is just Level 500!

All components are like this; from Level 1 to Level 100, values slowly increase without any exponential rise. Level 100 is a small threshold with significant change.

Level 200 is a big threshold, often bringing qualitative changes at this level.

Taking the "Doppler Radar" distance as an example, the detection range at Level 199 is still 199 light-years, but at Level 200, the detection range becomes 100,000 light-years.

And from Level 200 to Level 500, values increase slowly until Level 500 brings another transformative change!

That means.

If resources are insufficient, it’s entirely unnecessary to upgrade to Level 300 or 400, as they’re not much different from Level 200.

Unless it can be directly upgraded to Level 500, otherwise it’s better not to upgrade!

The higher the level.

The greater the changes brought by each threshold crossed!

Normally, upgrading seven-color level components from Level 50 to 200 only requires consuming 1 trillion units of iron ore, but upgrading from Level 200 to 500 requires consuming 100 trillion units of iron ore.

The resource consumption during this period has multiplied countless times.

But it’s worth it.

The effects achieved are worth the price.

The most important thing is—

Chen Mang glanced at the train control panel screen, which displayed that this fixed star could sustain the Fixed Star Train at full speed for 7.6 million years!

"Looks like there’s no need to change fixed stars for a short time."

7.6 million years...

This fixed star is truly durable.

He suddenly found that the cosmos is still the best; fixed stars are just there for anyone to take, high in value and free.

The efficiency utilization rate of fixed stars by the Level 500 Gate of Space can reach 90%, which is quite good.

He’s very satisfied with the supermodel effect brought about by this upgrade, and feeling somewhat addicted, he glanced at the other components, hoping the batch of mining stars could be mined as soon as possible.

It’s not enough.

There is never a point where resources are sufficient; even though he is now wealthier by many times compared to his time on Water Blue Star, he still feels it’s not enough.

He needs a major haul.

A much larger one.

A haul to make him completely satiated; the Nia Star System is too barren, and his mining stars are practically all the mining stars within the Kasha Civilization Federation’s range, just this much.

As for the mining stars in other regions of the Nia Star System, the Kasha Civilization has not built wormholes, and he doesn’t plan to build wormholes either, because the resources acquired from mining stars wouldn’t be enough to construct wormholes.

That means.

The Nia Star System, spanning across 100,000 light-years, actually only has this little resource sufficient for him to consume.

What is a truly good resource zone?

It’s not just about the level of mining stars, but also the density of the mining stars. As long as a large number of mining stars gather together, a wormhole can be established to consume this resource zone, this is a good resource zone.

Otherwise, if they’re scattered here and there.

It’s not even enough to cover the fly wormhole costs.

"First, conquer the Insect Race Civilization!"

"Going to be absolutely broke!"

...

The train currently only has 97 trillion iron ore left.

Expensive seven-color level components are definitely not affordable, but the cheaper components can still be upgraded.

For example—

"Hmm..."

"It’s you!"

Chen Mang targeted the "Medical Cabin," about to make his move when suddenly Ai’s voice came from inside the train.
