Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 841 - 355: Machine Army (Part 3)

"As expected from the smartest daughter of the Catia family, Monica, it seems you have a deep understanding of Federation politics?" Mochizuki Masashi said.

Monica raised her eyes slightly, "I just habitually think about things with their kind of disgusting inertial thinking."

Mochizuki Masashi chuckled, "Well said."

"The plan named Interstellar Ark Train is classified as ’Sky Dome Level’ by Dawn City. It’s of a megastructure model and is said to be designed to accommodate over a million people. But in reality, the purpose of its construction should be as a resource transport ship for Dawn City, and also as Dawn City’s ’fourth fallback plan’ after the city walls, underground city, and starship."

"Pretty comprehensive consideration." Lin Xian crossed his arms and nodded, "If Dawn City and the Underground City fall, they can use this train to escape the darkness and, like the Phoenix Society, buy time for one last gamble?"

"That’s what Shinji and I think." Qian Suxun said at the moment, "However, according to our information, the construction progress of this thing is not even 15%. Miss Monica’s observation is correct, the ’conceptual’ and political significance of this construction plan currently outweighs its actual significance."

"Then they probably want a maneuverable Floating City like Silent City?" Chen Sixuan said.

"Well..." Qian Suxun said meaningfully, sipping his tea, "We don’t wish to conflict with Dawn City, but Dawn City’s been eyeing Evercity Port, and the forces stationed by Phoenix Society are gradually being pulled out, so when we get there, we can’t avoid interacting with Dawn City and Phoenix Society’s people."

"Lin."

Mochizuki Masashi then spoke to Lin Xian, "When we reach Jin Hai, perhaps I can use this thing to create something you desire, as a small surprise gift for you, how about it?"

Everyone was astonished at this statement.

"Weren’t we just saying we didn’t want to conflict with Dawn City?" KIKI, resting her chin on her hand, glanced between Qian Suxun and Mochizuki Masashi, "Aren’t you essentially going to war with Dawn City if you’re taking this?"

Mochizuki Masashi squinted and smiled, "Obtaining this doesn’t necessarily mean taking it by force. Actually, what I primarily need is a construction platform. Silent City is still too small; what Lin wants is certainly beyond this scale. Also, I’m not afraid of conflict with Dawn City. To tell the truth, they just created a big problem for us..."

As he spoke, the nano-pupils in Mochizuki Masashi’s eyes slowly converged, and a sharp intent, hard to perceive, shot out along with his smile, vanishing in an instant.

At 4:20 am, as the night wind began to stir, a simple evening banquet concluded and the group left the Harmony Hall, heading to the deck outside, though Lin Xian was asked to stay back by Mochizuki Masashi.

The few who went outside carried expressions faintly complex, as Mochizuki Masashi’s words seemed to reveal a significant relationship between Dawn City and the Deep Red World, while Jin Hai belongs to Dawn City’s Star Abyss outpost and heavy industrial base. Safely passing through here may not be easy.

At this moment, Shi Deyuan and Ning Jing were discussing, "Silent City is docking at Evercity Port; should we, after upgrading the all-terrain drive, head north from Jin Hai?"

"What a pity; I thought I could stay under the big umbrella. It turns out they don’t intend to keep moving." Qian Deli, listening to Shi Deyuan’s discussion, also sighed and spoke.

"There’s nothing to it. Their goal is also to fly into space. If you really want to stay, remaining in the city here means you don’t need to rush around." Monica said.

Qian Deli smacked his lips, frowned, "Then I’d rather see the sun for a few more months..."

"Captain Chen, what about your thoughts?" Ning Jing now looked at Chen Sixuan and his people.

Chen Sixuan directly replied, "We don’t want to enter Dawn City either; after all, we’ve had disputes with the Federation before. However, Lin Xian’s immediate concern is to resolve the vehicle issue, so specifically, we’ll have to see when this aspect can be settled."

"Ah, actually now we can only follow Silent City first; everyone’s vehicles need quite a bit of repair time. After fighting for so long, we should at least rest well for two nights." KIKI said.

Ning Jing nodded at hearing this, "True."

Then she said to the others, "We should each go back and handle vehicle team matters first; communicate through the devices if anything comes up."

"Okay." Qian Deli stretched lazily, "I still want to stroll in that mechanical city; it’s been a long time since I’ve mingled with zombies, a rarity these days."

Monica nodded, her gaze gently signaled to the others before glimpsing towards the direction of the high tower, then swiftly turning away.

Inside the Harmony Hall, only Mochizuki Masashi and Lin Xian remained now.

At this moment, a female robot approached with a tray, containing two items: a Conscious Memory for Digital Life and a Photon Storage Device emitting a blue glow.

"What’s this?" Lin Xian looked at the items and asked puzzledly.

"No misunderstanding, the Conscious Memory is empty, and it’s the largest capacity memory that can be manufactured in the current world. Once uploaded with consciousness via a brain-computer device, it can be used. You were able to manufacture brain-computer devices for the Deep Red World before, so this shouldn’t be difficult for you. Furthermore, this is something I believe you’ll find very interesting."

"What kind of thing?"

Mochizuki Masashi gestured with his eyes, thus Lin Xian reached out to take it, then placed it on the wooden table.

Instantly, the table’s sensor brightened with a light circle, locking onto the storage device, and then a holographic screen appeared in mid-air. Lin Xian looked at it, finding it filled densely with various drone blueprints!

"Thunder Prison" High-voltage Magnetic Storm Drone, releases high-voltage arc pulses.

"Destroyer" Self-exploding Swarm Drone.

"Ice Burst 166" Featuring a liquid helium fog sprayer, freezes then activates high-frequency vibrations to pulverize targets.

"Iron Rain" Ultra-high-speed Kinetic Strike Drone, carries tungsten alloy kinetic bullets for short-range pulse acceleration, achieving instantaneous speeds of up to Mach 6.

"Iron Curtain" Microwave Plasma Shield Robot, also equipped with heavy armor for bulletproofing...

Besides these attack drones, there are also numerous engineering drones.

"Ant Worker-7" Nano 3D Printing Construction Robot, self-fuses with liquid alloy, constructs uninterrupted for 24 hours.

"Steel Vein" Pipeline/Circuit Laying Robot, equipped with a plasma cutter, autonomously plans energy network.

"Cleaner 006" Cleaning Robot, responsible for surface cleaning and waste processing, capable of crushing and converting organic waste.

"Hive Guardian" Building Structure Monitoring...

"Silver Shuttle-α" Transport Robot, magnetic levitation container automatic loading and unloading...

"Sentinel 03A" Radar + Infrared Vision...

A multitude of drone blueprints, showcasing numerous functional systems, appeared before Lin Xian, including robots for medical, agricultural, educational, and psychological services. All were the types of robots Lin Xian had seen smoothly operating in White City West Mountain Bunker before, and it was precisely these massive drone groups Mochizuki Masashi leveraged to rapidly establish an underground fortress and manage the entire operation of Silent City, ensuring the safety and living arrangements of 100,000 people!

Seeing Lin Xian’s astonished expression, Mochizuki Masashi, with a serious look, said

"Being a Mechanical Superpower User, I’ve conducted numerous simulations of your abilities, concluding that although I don’t know your ability growth limit, what you need most should be a large drone group with an AI Smart Brain network for coordination and deployment to maximize your capacities. When you entered the West Mountain Bunker, I noticed you observing all the drones, so I guessed this would be what you wanted."

"Being guessed doesn’t feel great, but you’re an exception; you’re not human."

Looking at the dazzling blueprints before him, Lin Xian said in a deep voice, although he had originally come with the intention to request these blueprints, he didn’t expect Mochizuki Masashi to understand his intentions better and have them prepared in advance.

Mochizuki Masashi merely watched him with a smile, "You already have the AI Smart Brain, so now you can, according to your needs, create your own..."

"Mechanical army!"
