Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 1057 - 403: No Resistance Allowed
Lin Xian didn’t know how hard sailors worked, but he thought this tradition was pretty good.
Sailors, thank you.
Since the banquet in Silent City, Monica’s judgment of the situation made him realize that she wasn’t just a queen who dominated men but truly possessed formidable wisdom.
Lin Xian indeed considered it a kind of wisdom, although he was also captivated by Monica’s cheongsam.
Yet in the latter half of the night, Lin Xian indeed felt as if the speed of his devouring had increased, not knowing if it was a psychological effect or if Queen Mo’s offensive was truly impactful.
[Current Level of Mechanical Heart LV.6 (6720/50000)]
Mechanical Devouring: 6 (1100/5000) - Increase devouring efficiency
"This efficiency is acceptable."
By 4 a.m., Lin Xian had almost devoured half of the harbor’s old cars. Although the mechanical source points and devouring proficiency gained from devouring cars weren’t high, the large quantity was advantageous, and Lin Xian was remotely operating, covering a vast area just by sitting atop the port crane.
After dealing with a large batch of cars, Lin Xian looked at the silhouette of zombies below, then set his sights on an almost toppled ship in the harbor, which still had several carriages of the Ring Star Train on it.
"This thing probably has a displacement of tens of thousands of tons, let’s give it a try..."
Lin Xian did not hesitate and directly initiated Mechanical Devouring. In an instant, he seemed to hear an echoing ’empty’ sound from the massive ship, and immediately, Lin Xian felt his spiritual power being gradually drained as it covered the scan.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
At this moment, three Phase Rainbow Rings of the Superstring Reactor lit up behind Lin Xian, starting full power operation. Lin Xian’s eyes glowed, and with the support of the Superstring Reactor, he almost had an inexhaustible source of power.
"As long as there’s enough time, no matter how many tons you are, I’m a nuclear-powered beef now!"
[Devouring Progress 1%]
Finally, the devouring progress bar flashed in front of Lin Xian. Through the progress bar, he immediately estimated that to devour this tens of thousands of tons ship, it would take over 10 hours.
This was somewhat beyond Lin Xian’s expectations. He originally thought that the ship’s mechanical structure could not possibly be as complex as a Dragon Transport Ship or a Dreadnought Level, and since his devouring level had been raised to Level 6, it shouldn’t take this long, but once he started devouring, he found it would still take about 10 hours.
"Could it be because I haven’t devoured a ship before?"
Lin Xian slightly frowned, feeling a bit hesitant at this moment. After all, this ship looked like nothing but an iron lump, but since he had already started, he simply gritted his teeth and continued devouring.
Crash crash!
The waves rolled in the harbor, the sea roared, as if Lin Xian’s action had triggered a violent reaction.
Meanwhile, the Heavenly Calming Ship, Starry Sky Research Room, composed of hundreds of astronomers, information domain experts, radio astronomy technicians, and interstellar molecular astrophysics engineers, had formed the ’Star Gazing’ research team. The team leader, Yang Xu, aged 47, was tall and thin, originally an academician at the Dragon Country’s National Astronomical Observatory and a specialist in astrophysics.
"Deep Space Monitoring Station reports, target: South Heavenly Gate near-Earth defense platform, orbital data locked, geostationary position: longitude 15.5°W, latitude 51.6°N, altitude 52,660 km (error ±2 km), orbital inclination: 51.64°, drift rate 0.02°/day, consistent with predicted model."
"Optical tracking shows no abnormalities in the main structure of the South Heavenly Gate platform, which autonomously deployed all 12 solar wing arrays 6 hours 41 minutes ago and is currently stable in the observation orbit position."
Yang Xu frowned, leading a group of people to the command center, where Chu Yan was relaying information from Grace to the others.
"Captain Chu." Yang Xu approached and asked, "Have you reached Captain Lin, and confirmed if the deployment of the solar wing arrays was his operation?"
Chu Yan responded, "Chief Yang, I confirmed from Grace that it was Lin Xian’s operation. His purpose in shutting down the Nuclear Power Core is probably to prevent nuclear radiation from attracting Abnormal Bodies in the deep space Dark Energy Storm Zone. We’ve encountered this many times in Star Abyss, there won’t be any mistake."
"However, shutting down the Nuclear Power Core means that the South Heavenly Gate cannot launch an attack in a short time." Another engineer, surnamed Chen, said with some confusion.
Chu Yan explained, "Grace discovered a massive microbial invasion on the platform, and there might be some kind of deep space Abnormal Body on the outer module platform. This issue definitely needs to be resolved first."
Hearing this, Yang Xu nodded: "Indeed, was there any outcome on the dark matter information decoded from the gravitational wave?"
"Soon."
Chu Yan took a breath and said, "That information is placed in the fourth layer cipher and needs to be decrypted."
"The fourth layer cipher?"
It was a slightly chubby middle-aged person speaking, who was Wu Junping, a former engineer at the South Heavenly Gate Information Center, looking puzzled: "How did the information end up in a black box?"
"Is there a problem?" Chu Yan asked.
Wu Junping immediately replied, "The fourth layer cipher, commonly known as the Falling Black Box, is mainly used to extract physical reserves after a space unit crashes or malfunctions. All platform information would be synchronized there, and it generally isn’t stored separately. If the fourth layer cipher contains it, the other parent storage units should have it too."
"That’s right, the existence in a black box alone is indeed very strange..." Other engineers also remarked.
"But isn’t black box decoding not that complicated? Grace’s computational power should be able to solve it instantly." Another engineer mentioned.
