System: My Doomsday Train-Chapter 561 - 288: "Vast Civilization"! (Seeking monthly votes at month’s end)_2
But soon, he suddenly paused slightly, realizing that the highest level of monsters in the red zone was only Level 18, and Level 16 monsters were already quite high, while the capacity of a Level 4 mine was generally around ten million units, which was not negligible.
He then gave a wry smile, feeling somewhat helpless.
The "Withered Wood Spring" adventure map had raised his spirits so high, he had killed 1,000 Level 19 zombies, how could he possibly take Level 16 monsters seriously, he had already mined 50 Level 5 mines, a single Level 4 mine could hardly excite him anymore.
People, indeed.
Once they’ve tasted the better things, it’s hard to go back.
Under the canopy of stars.
The Constant Star Train slowly stopped on a cliff, the deep blue to pitch-black seawater almost merging with the sky, carrying a sense of extreme oppression, the salty sea breeze as if a Stellar Giant Beast had opened its bloody maw.
"..."
Chen Mang walked down the train cabin alone and stood at the edge of the cliff, overlooking the undulating water in the distance.
It had been a long time since he had seen the sea.
Perhaps because he was born inland, he had long yearned for the sea since childhood.
He liked this area.
Just then—
Ai walked down from the train cabin and quietly said, "The target detection radar has detected many high-level monsters and some rare minerals at the bottom of the sea."
"..."
Chen Mang looked expressionlessly at Ai, and after a long silence, he softly said, "I am the Train Captain; if you know about it, how could I not?"
"Do you really have to report work when I’m trying to relax?"
"Really it’s just..."
"Forget it, let’s go back."
Returning to the train cabin, Chen Mang looked at the information on the screen. In the depths of the sea in front of him, there were many Level 18 high-level monsters, which were the limits of this area. This sea was not entirely within the "Dusk Coast" area, just a small part of it; the rest of the sea belonged to other areas.
And at the bottom of the sea, there was a unique mineral he had never seen before.
"Sea Green Ore."
About ten thousand meters from the coastline, thirty thousand meters deep at the seafloor, there was a Level 5 "Sea Green Ore."
"The seafloor is indeed quite deep..."
Chen Mang murmured softly, then spoke: "Does your database contain the uses of ’Sea Green Ore’?"
"Yes!"
Standing beside him, Ai hurriedly spoke with eyes full of grievance. He knew the value of this "Sea Green Ore" was exceptionally high, which was why he couldn’t help but get off the train to remind him, only to be scolded, feeling deeply wronged.
"Before this, I need to roughly explain the formation of mines to Master Mang."
"Mines originate from planetary ’Core Energy’ leakage, which Master Mang is aware of, but mines on Water Blue Star are artificially matured, with Mechanical Civilization’s shuttle ships injecting an agent into the earth core, accelerating various mines’ maturity in a short time."
"But—"
"The level of mines formed this way is generally not very high, and they aren’t plentiful."
"Water Blue Star’s ’Core Energy’ originally didn’t leak, and only planets where the core energy didn’t leak and was locked within the earth core had the basic conditions to become habitable planets."
"Such planets are rare."
"Most planets have leaking ’Core Energy,’ which seeps into the universe and serves as nutrients for Stellar Giant Beast, etc. A few planets, though their core energy leaks, are contained within the planet, and these planets are ’mineral planets.’"
"Mineral planets generally have a large number of high-level, abundant mines, with the richest mines producing resources step by step."
"Mines are classified into many types, such as iron mines, copper mines, etc., with iron mines being the most important and in demand, while some rare minerals are used in limited fields, and such ’Sea Green Ore’ is one of the rare minerals, only found deep in the ocean on some planets."
"The upgrade and crafting of the seven-colored accessory ’Annihilator Ion Cannon’ require Sea Green Ore."
"..."
Chen Mang slightly frowned, contemplated for a while, then said: "Annihilator Ion Cannon?"
"Yes, it’s very powerful!"
"How powerful?" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
"In the database, Princess Tuo Tuo’s train has a main cannon that is a Level 78 ’Annihilator Ion Cannon,’ very powerful."
"Describe the effect."
"What effect?"
"In your database, what effect did Princess Tuo Tuo have with this weapon? Did it kill a Stellar Giant Beast or destroy a planet?"
"Uh..."
Standing nearby, Ai hesitated for a moment before saying, "No effect, Princess Tuo Tuo never fired it, just knows it’s very powerful, most firepower accessories consume iron and copper, but this one consumes ’Sea Green Ore.’"
"Damn waste of resources."
Chen Mang couldn’t help but sigh again, questioning why Princess Tuo Tuo kept hoarding resources on the train that never saw battle, but then quickly remembered something.
"What’s the upgrade limit for seven-colored accessories?"
"Red-grade accessory limit is Level 20, gold-grade accessory limit is Level 30, pink-grade accessory limit is Level 50, and seven-colored-grade accessory limit is Level 100."
"Level 100..."
Chen Mang nodded thoughtfully: "The highest it can upgrade to Level 100, Princess Tuo Tuo only upgraded to Level 78, not too much of a waste of resources."
"Upgrade!"
He took a deep breath, temporarily ignoring the matters of the "Sea Green Ore" lying deep underwater. That mine couldn’t be extracted for now, his train could dive, but how would he mine it, as the mining robots would essentially turn into steel pancakes upon leaving the train’s ’waterproof shield.’
