System: My Doomsday Train-Chapter 603 - 295: "Where the Hell Did That Damn Planet Go?" (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_3
Constantly spewing pale blue flames.
Ready for full power launch at any moment.
"3."
"2."
"1."
"Launch!"
Chen Mang heavily slammed the red button on the control panel, and the nitrogen nozzles on both sides of the train car exploded with blinding white flames. The Constant Star Train accelerated to an exaggerated speed of 50000 km/h, like a comet!
Shooting towards the outside of the atmosphere!
Chen Mang’s whole body was tightly pressed against the seat, feeling the immense thrust. He couldn’t help but grin with excitement—he liked it!
You can feel the thrust.
But there was no shortness of breath or chest tightness.
The "built-in space stabilizer" had long been upgraded by him to Level 100.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to accelerate like this. If it were only Level 10 or Level 20, such a wild acceleration would practically turn everyone in the train car into mush.
He wasn’t about to be foolish enough to play himself to death.
The Constant Star Train shot towards the outside of the atmosphere at extreme speed, with dazzling sparks caused by friction flying around the train.
...
Three minutes later.
The Constant Star Train hovered smoothly in the Star Sea of the universe.
This day was worth commemorating.
This was the Constant Star Train’s first arrival in the Star Sea, its first hover in the universe, its first observation of "Water Blue Star" from this perspective.
"Is this the Star Sea...?"
Inside the train car.
Chen Mang gazed out at the scenes outside the window, feeling somewhat dazed as his thoughts drifted away. As someone who had lived two lifetimes, his experiences far exceeded most of his peers, yet... he had never observed the universe from this perspective before.
It’s indescribable.
The first thing that enveloped his senses was boundless darkness. He had never worked in design; he didn’t understand whether the colorful darkness exists, but this blackness was even darker than the darkness he saw in the "Goblin Tomb".
It’s a pure, dense blackness, almost solidified.
As if it could swallow all sounds and temperatures.
And on this pitch-black curtain, countless stars were studded. The stars he saw with the naked eye far exceeded those displayed on the "Star System Map," like grains of sand across the sky.
At this moment—
These stars no longer flickered as seen from "Water Blue Star" when looking up at the sky, but instead solidified, sharp like coffin nails pinned on the curtain.
Brilliant?
Yes, it was indeed brilliant.
But more than anything, it was fear, or perhaps helplessness...
A fear of not knowing where to go or how to survive.
And from the train car’s right side, occupying an entire pane of glass, was a huge Water Blue Star floating in the universe, like a blue-white gem.
Cloud layers swirled thinly like gauze.
The continent’s outlines divided by the terminator, half bright and half dark.
No wind.
No taste.
No sound.
Not even a distinction between up and down; completely devoid of any sense of solid ground. Inside the train car, only the sound of his breathing echoed, with no point of reference and no gravity.
Thanks to the "built-in space stabilizer," he could stand calmly inside the train car.
But whether it’s psychological, there’s always a false sense of standing firmly.
Behind him.
Was a massive white flame, the sun, more intense than any flames gazed at directly, making Water Blue Star appear minuscule in its presence.
"..."
Chen Mang stood up and walked to the train car’s floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the star-filled Star Sea, lighting a cigarette and after a long silence, murmured: "As you get closer, beauty fades away."
When he was on Water Blue Star.
He adored looking up at the starry sky, as if those twinkling stars could guide him forward.
He even saw stars hinting in the Doomsday Abyss that Water Blue Star would become a Dead Star in five years.
But when he truly arrived deep in the cosmos, capable of observing these stars with his naked eyes, without atmospheric distortion, these stars lost all gentleness, leaving only raw, sharp truth.
Like when someone is amicable to others outside, but shows you a cold face at home.
He originally thought that upon leaving Water Blue Star, he’d be able to see those informative stars he saw in the Doomsday Abyss, but... upon truly arriving in the Star Sea, he found no trace of them. He didn’t even know who had left those stars, as the Mechanical Civilization AI’s database did not mention this matter at all.
Chen Mang stood by the floor-to-ceiling window in silence for a long time.
He found it hard to imagine how a high-level civilization existed, considering that the "Insect Race Civilization" territory shown on the Star System Map contained thousands of stars, a vast territory.
Extending over thousands of light years.
All that he saw amounted to less than 0.01 light years, yet it had already given him such a massive shock.
Can civilization really conquer the universe?
Before leaving Water Blue Star, while following the main line of its secret development, he also harbored ambitions to conquer the universe and create a Human Civilization, but at this moment... he started to doubt himself.
Is this truly something he can achieve?
Can he really...
Conquer this universe, or can he truly survive within it?
After a long while.
He laughed.
"I like explosive gals."
"It’s exciting to plow."
"Ai, time to get to work!"
"Yes!"
Ai’s voice quickly came from inside the train car, without a trace of hesitation, as if the shocking scene before its eyes didn’t influence Ai at all.
What an unromantic creature.
But as an AI.
It seems not to need romance.
Data began to emerge on the screen.
