"5: New reward, ’AI Database’."

"To clarify, the fifth reward is my addition. Although I have destroyed the code that makes up my soul, I have left the database for you, with selective deletion of memories regarding Princess Tuo Tuo, as well as some of my own emotions. The remaining data is completely preserved."

"You can let your train’s AI read it."

"However, even though I’ve deleted a large amount of memories about Princess Tuo Tuo, the remaining database is still extremely vast. It might take several years for your train’s Level 3 AI to read through the entire database."

"Well then..."

"Until we meet again in hell."

"..."

The text on the screen gradually vanished, and a pillar emerged from the stage floor, displaying the gains of this Adventure Map event. Meanwhile, a Teleportation Gate was slowly appearing in the square.

...

Purple area, Stone Man area.

The Constant Star Train was parked on the wilderness as usual, it was late at night, with stars sparkling in the sky.

Inside the train.

The residents were excitedly discussing the experiences from this Adventure Map. It was their first time contributing personally, witnessing and participating in the victory of the Constant Star, which inherently strengthened the unity of the Constant Star.

Everyone was very excited.

"I just pushed four zombies into the Gate of Space."

"Four is nothing, I pushed six!"

In Resident Area No. 1, everyone was excitedly gathered together discussing, except for a young boy hugging a laptop and curled up in the corner under the pavilion, his body slightly trembling.

"Alright."

Old Pig approached unnoticed, opened a beer in his hand and handed it over, crouching down to pat the young boy’s shoulder and said with a smile: "Master Mang said you did well and shouldn’t blame yourself too much. The difficulty of this Adventure Map was indeed very high, and you’ve done an excellent job."

"Not everyone is the protagonist who turns the tide."

"We’re actually all just ordinary people."

"Join the conversation, everyone wants to hear your story, lots of residents are very curious."

"I..."

The young boy raised red-rimmed eyes to look at Old Pig: "If it wasn’t because I got a word wrong, we wouldn’t have encountered that wave of zombies."

"No one was hurt, you shouldn’t bear excessive responsibility for a failure that wasn’t yours."

"You don’t have the ability to bear such a big responsibility."

"Get up."

"Relax, everyone’s waiting for you, Zhang Yiren even mentioned wanting to make this experience into a movie." Old Pig said with a smile, "Master Mang told me that tomorrow at the celebration banquet in Neon City, you’re going to be on stage to receive an award, so it won’t be pretty if your eyes are red from crying."

...

"..."

Inside the train compartment, Chen Mang lit a cigarette, sat in the compartment quietly staring at the Star System Map on the screen, without speaking for a long time. This was one of his gains, the Special Tool "Star System Map."

It can update in real-time.

In the Star System Map, "Water Blue Star" is located at the center, the map shows a range of ten thousand light-years.

It marks planets with life, mining stars, etc.

For example...

The nearest mining star is 0.3 light-years away, marked with an iron content of 78%. If fully exploited, this star will yield a large amount of iron resources.

Additionally, there are two planets with life, one 0.4 light-years from Water Blue Star and one 0.8 light-years away, both in a Doomsday state.

The Star System Map even shows the positions of the "Insect Race Civilization" main fleet in real-time.

A bit of a problem...

They are located at the rear of the Insect Race Civilization, surrounded by low-ranking civilization planets for ten thousand light-years, none higher than Level 1, while Water Blue Star Civilization is marked as... Level 0.2.

He once pondered how the train could reach a distance of one hundred thousand light-years.

Even at light speed, it would take a hundred thousand years.

Now he had the answer.

It requires a wormhole.

A wormhole is almost a planet’s lifeline. Once a wormhole near a planet is exposed, that planet will instantly face mass invasions by enemies, but as long as it remains hidden, no one can approach your planet.

Too far away.

By speed alone, it’s impossible to reach Water Blue Star.

Just then——

"Train Captain, absorption is complete."

"So quickly?"

Chen Mang glanced at the screen on the control console: "Only two hours have passed."

"After all, I am a Level 100 AI. This amount of content doesn’t take long. I’ve extracted some important information."

Ai’s voice sounded in the train room.

"In the universe, wormholes roughly fall into two types."

"Natural wormholes, and artificial wormholes."

"The former are randomly generated and unstable, with a constant risk of collapse, and their destinations are unknown."

"The latter are civilization-created wormholes, typically more stable, like an underwater tunnel used over the long term, but needing regular maintenance, and often linking two points via a wormhole."

"The coordinates of created wormholes are top-secret."

"Once wormhole coordinates are known, there’s a risk of invasion."

"Before exposure, a planet is almost absolutely safe, without risk of being annihilated by any civilization."

"The Insect Race Civilization has created many random wormholes, throwing countless insect eggs into them for rapid reproduction and... exploring."

"Similar to games like StarCraft where map exploration occurs, here a special existence called the ’Ant Bug’ will contact the ’Mother Empress’ remote in the Insect Race’s base, inevitably sending the planet’s coordinates there. If they require resources, the Insect Race will open a wormhole to bring their army near the planet using the provided coordinates."

"The growth cycle of an Ant Bug larva is about five years."

"So we have about three years left?" Chen Mang frowned.

"No... perhaps even longer."

Ai pushed open the train room door and walked in, switching her voice from the Car Sound System to the speaker in her throat: "The Star System Map shows nothing of high value near us."

"The Insect Race army likely won’t visit us here."

"But——"

"Mechanical Civilization’s methods rely on a planet’s Core Energy. This planet’s Core Energy will be depleted in three years, so we still need to leave Water Blue Star within three years."

"We need to head to the other two livable planets within three years; those planets are larger, likely lasting longer."

"However, those mining stars, though not attractive to the Insect Race Civilization, are an immense fortune for us."

"Exploiting a mining star demands numerous mining robots and logistical measures, a daunting task."

"How do we reach those stars?"

After a long silence, Chen Mang stretched his hand to enlarge the Star System Map on the screen: "The nearest mining star is at 0.3 light-years away, using that Seven-color Level component ’Wormhole Radar’?"

"Yes."

Ai nodded seriously: "Wormhole Radar can detect naturally formed wormholes or coordinates of wormholes made by other civilizations; the higher the level, the greater the detection range, even cracking higher-level wormhole coordinates."

"In theory."

"As long as Train Captain you possess enough resources, wormhole coordinates throughout the universe won’t be a secret, enabling travel to any part of the universe, given the Wormhole Radar’s high enough level."

"Although it’s much faster than we anticipated..."

"Clearly."

"The interstellar journey is about to begin, Train Captain. We are about to embark on a brand-new adventure."

"Will there randomly be a wormhole near that mining star?"

"Most likely not, we’ll need to create this wormhole ourselves."

"Phew..."

Chen Mang stood and stretched languidly, walked lazily to the floor-to-ceiling windows, put his hands in his pockets, and looked at the distant starry sky, silent for a long time before gently laughing.

"Sounds like it’s not a simple project."
