System: My Doomsday Train-Chapter 576 - 290: "Without 9 lives, who would dare to play like this."_5
"That scene was overwhelming!"
"Countless wormholes appeared out of thin air, each one pouring out an army, meeting with a barrage of firepower, and every moment, many lives were lost."
"Is this from that AI database? Tuo Tuo has seen this before?"
"We watched it in real-time from the rear."
"What happened next?"
"The subsequent wormholes were blasted and collapsed, so the images got disconnected."
"That’s really lame, huh."
Let’s upgrade first.
Chen Mang looked at the control panel screen. From now on, besides upgrading "armor", he would try not to consume iron ore on other accessories. He wanted to save all the iron ore, use it in the Seven-Color Region, and upgrade the Seven-Colored Accessories.
That Level 6 iron mine yields 1 billion units of iron ore!
He looked at the conditions for upgrading the train to Level 19.
-
"Upgrade Requirements": Consume 100,000 units of Level 3 iron ore, all accessories inside the carriage must exceed Level 300, completed an ’S’-level difficulty mission, and need at least one gold-grade accessory to reach Level 20.
-
All conditions met.
Ready to upgrade to Level 19 train at any time.
There’s a very counterintuitive thing.
Most think the train should get harder to upgrade the further it goes, and the beginning upgrades are the simplest.
But actually, his Constant Star Train was hardest to upgrade at the start. Back then, without the resources given by Master Kun, it was basically like starting from scratch with no foundation at all, having to endure and build up little by little.
Once the train’s level started to rise, its foundation grew stronger.
With a solid foundation, its upgrade speed was significantly faster than when it was at a low level.
Seven days ago, he managed to upgrade the train 3 levels at once, and now he can upgrade again because he had met those upgrade requirements long ago...
He really didn’t feel there was any "hurdle".
The accessory level exceeded 300.
Isn’t that an insult?
He could randomly choose three white-grade accessories, and they’d already exceed Level 300.
Upgrade!
When 10 million units of iron ore inside the train turned into powder and melded into the carriage, a line of numbers appeared on the control panel screen again.
-
"Your train has reached Level 19."
"More buildable accessories will be unlocked."
-
Level 19 Constant Star Train.
The control panel now had an additional button, a new function that appeared after upgrading the train to Level 19.
"Civilization Legacy."
The button had only four words, but after pressing it, the screen displayed a lot of information.
"..."
Chen Mang slightly frowned, examining it closely. This button, rather than being a function, was more like the last words of the Mechanical Civilization, information entered by the highest leader of the "Mechanical Civilization".
A huge inheritance was left behind.
The Mechanical Train upgrading to Level 19 originally wouldn’t add any function, but during its demise, the highest leader of the Mechanical Civilization left its last words and a huge inheritance in the train.
A hidden space in a Time Rift containing many resources.
Different from Princess Tuo Tuo’s.
Princess Tuo Tuo’s was a personal act, and she scattered the resources in many parts, leaving one on each planet, whereas the highest leader of the Mechanical Civilization left behind the last foundation of the Mechanical Civilization.
To acquire the coordinates of this space, the prerequisite was to rebuild "Mechanical Civilization" and declare war on the "Insect Race Civilization".
"It conflicts with the information in the database."
The AI voice from the train said: "According to the database’s information, Mechanical Civilization was completely exhausted in its final moments, almost entirely depleted. If there had been any foundation left, they could have held on for a few more years, and they wouldn’t have been exterminated."
"..."
Chen Mang was silent, not speaking. He remembered the words in the "database", stating that any information received about the Mechanical Civilization conflicting with the stored data should be overridden by the database’s information.
Assuming the database was correct.
The so-called "huge inheritance" mentioned by the highest leader could very likely be a scam, just to cause trouble for the Insect Race Civilization after death.
However...
The Mechanical Civilization did one good thing: the train, originally exclusive means of the Mechanical Civilization, was open-sourced at the moment of its demise, spreading these means across corners of the universe, allowing many civilizations to skip core energy research and directly inherit these means.
That resulted in a technological explosion.
"I believe in the latter."
Chen Mang lit a cigarette, leaned back in his chair, and looked at the control panel screen, speaking softly: "Even if the former is true, I don’t want it. Who would dare play like that without nine lives, rebuilding the Mechanical Civilization and declaring war on the Insect Race Civilization?" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
"Declaring war..."
"In this lifetime, there’s no way I’d declare war. Can’t I just attack quietly without making a fuss?"
"Didn’t the Insect Race Civilization just go over and blast the ’Heaven-Slaying Civilization’ with their main cannon without any war declaration?"
...
