System: My Doomsday Train-Chapter 617 - 297: One Person, One Civilization! (Seeking Monthly Votes)_5
That is, there’s no mine underground.
Otherwise, he’d have to hollow out the ground too.
"Accompany me to see how the construction on Water Blue Star is going."
Chen Mang was in a pretty good mood, leaning on his cane as he got up and walked out of the train compartment.
He arrived at Carriage No. 10.
After pressing the button on the door frame, a small, single-person wormhole appeared in front of him. Stepping inside with Ai, he found himself in front of a city ruin on Water Blue Star.
...
Tieling Wasteland, "Taiping City".
Originally a city in ruins, devastated beyond recognition, it was now bustling with construction. A large number of survivors were clearing debris in an orderly manner and rebuilding it.
"Quite lively."
Standing on the outskirts of the city, Chen Mang looked at the city not far away and chuckled.
The city had a special significance for him.
It was where he had started.
The data had already been compiled.
The survivors on "Water Blue Star" numbered 760 million, much fewer than he expected, as he thought there would be a billion. The death rate over the past two years since Doomsday was quite high.
By now, all these 760 million survivors had been implanted with "Iris Chips", becoming the residents of the Fixed Star train.
At first—
According to his plan, these survivors would be assigned to various city ruins to mine those renewable mineral fields, which would also be a resource.
But now.
With these one million mining robots, which were so cheap, there was no need for these people to mine anymore, yet he still arranged it that way.
He had to give them something to do.
But there were no mandatory requirements anymore.
It was half work, half entertainment.
The main task was... to have children and pass on civilization.
Once the cities were rebuilt and civilization began to take shape, free love would gradually emerge, and human civilization would continue once again.
"Let’s go back."
The city was still under reconstruction, and there was no need to go in. After watching for a while from the edge of the city, Chen Mang returned to the train car.
The Divine-level supermodel effect of the Level 200 "Gate of Space" was truly too overwhelming.
It could fit a planet inside a train.
The Level 200 supermodel effect was already so outrageous.
He was really curious about how ridiculous the Level 500 supermodel effect would be.
...
For the One-Sweep Business Association.
The past fifty days were merely a tedious and monotonous journey.
But for the Fixed Star.
These fifty days were a qualitative transformation.
If fifty days ago, the Fixed Star had just barely qualified to travel in the universe, then after mining this batch of fields, the Fixed Star would have some degree of self-protection even if it went to the "Kasha Civilization Federation".
"I love Mineral Stars."
"Mineral Stars love me."
Chen Mang returned to the train compartment, sitting in his chair and looking at the data on the screen. He couldn’t help but smile, full of joy in his eyes. Although the conditions were a bit harsh, he couldn’t feel anything unusual inside the train.
And there were no monsters.
Mining was extremely at ease.
Like a mouse falling into a jar of oil, or a kitten falling into a fishpond, there was more than enough to consume, simply inexhaustible.
The original plan was to go to the "Kasha Civilization Federation" after mining this Mineral Star.
But now the plan had changed.
He’d tasted the sweetness of a "Mineral Star" and wanted to taste it again!
Near the Star System Map, there was another Mineral Star, 378 light-years away, the one he detected from Water Blue Star. He planned to build a wormhole from here to that Mineral Star.
It required 63 billion units of iron ore.
A round trip would be more than 120 billion.
He calculated it.
As long as that Mineral Star could be mined normally, it would definitely be profitable. A Mineral Star couldn’t possibly have only a little more than 100 billion units of iron ore.
Unless...
That Mineral Star was even harsher and simply unmineable.
Otherwise, it was a sure-profit deal.
He was definitely going to see it, as he could afford the trial cost of more than 120 billion units. After mining this current Mineral Star, he would have nearly a trillion units of iron ore.
...
days later.
The convoy of "One-Sweep Business Association" arrived late.
As soon as they entered the misty atmosphere of the "Mineral Star", a piercing warning sounded inside the train.
-
"Warning, Warning..."
"Energy Shield consumption speed is extremely fast..."
"Recommend immediate retreat."
-
"..."
Qiu Yisao looked somewhat grim as he quickly pushed the control lever, steering away from the Mineral Star in front. This Mineral Star turned out to be a "Wandering Mineral Star", which was frustrating...
Any wandering Mineral Star that doesn’t come into contact with a Fixed Star has extremely low temperatures above.
It’s impossible to carry out normal mining operations.
This Mineral Star must not have been wandering for long, or else it wouldn’t have just given a warning—it would have completely shut down. When he realized there were no Fixed Stars nearby as he approached this Mineral Star, he already had a bad feeling. It turned out to be a real Wandering Mineral Star.
Where did the Senior go?
Just then—
A voice suddenly echoed inside the train cabin.
-
"Wait outside for me, I’ll come to find you after I finish mining."
-
"Is this... the Senior’s voice?"
Qiu Yisao was slightly taken aback, looking at the information on the Train Radio screen, the audio suffix was... "Unknown Civilization, Fixed Star."
So the Senior’s train really was called Fixed Star?
Fixed Star...
The number of Fixed Stars in the universe is vast, innumerable, utterly beyond count.
But it’s precisely the light and heat created by these Fixed Stars that have allowed many living beings to survive.
Could it be—
This is the meaning behind the Senior naming it this way?
He hoped his train would be like a Fixed Star, bringing light and heat to other living beings. The reason he resolved to follow the Senior wasn’t just because of the Senior’s strength and background, but mainly because the Senior was genuinely very gentle.
