System: My Doomsday Train-Chapter 633 - 300: "Geek Pirate Group" (Requesting monthly ticket)_3
"..."
Chen Mang looked at the business card in his hand. After a moment of silence, he suddenly laughed. Sometimes things just happen like this: "Old Pig, look up this person, Zhou Shen."
"Yes!"
Old Pig stood by with his tablet, quickly searching.
The port authority, it should be the person most aware of when Feiyang Technology Co., Ltd.’s batch of goods will arrive in Sanshui City. He needs these high-precision experimental instruments to build his research team.
The "research team" is something used to raise the ceiling. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
In the short term, it won’t have much effect, and could even waste resources.
But in the long run.
When all the parts of his train are washed to have perfect supermodel effects, what a scene it will be.
"Found it."
Old Pig, standing with his tablet, spoke: "According to the official website, Zhou Shen is set to assume the role of General Manager of Sanshui Port in three days. He is currently in the last three days of the public notice period. Tonight, Zhou Shen will invite friends and family to his private residence, along with all chamber of commerce presidents in Sanshui City, to hold a ’promotion party.’"
"This position’s benefits are mostly gleaned from the chamber of commerce."
"It seems he’s trying to engage with various chamber presidents before officially taking office."
"Daring to buy luxury goods during the public notice period? Bringing a mistress to shop?"
"The Peace-Seeking Civilization... has rather loose management on these matters."
"Quite good."
Chen Mang looked at the young man and his sister standing nearby: "Have you picked?"
"Picked."
"If you’ve picked, then let’s go."
Saying this, Chen Mang led Old Pig and others out of the store.
"Sir, you haven’t paid yet." A shop assistant hurriedly chased after them.
"Didn’t you hear? Put it on Zhou Shen’s tab."
...
Exiting the mall, Chen Mang lowered his head, inputting the phone number left by Qiu Yisao on his watch. Shortly after, the other side answered.
"Senior."
Qiu Yisao’s respectful voice came from the watch.
"Hmm, tonight the port authority Zhou Shen is holding a celebration at his private residence in Sanshui City. Were you invited?"
"Eh?" There was a trace of surprise in Qiu Yisao’s voice: "Senior, your information is quite up-to-date. I only received the invitation an hour ago. This guy is newly appointed. Tonight is clearly a Hongmen banquet, wanting to give us a show of strength and discuss cuts from the profits."
"I was just pondering how to respond. The last person in charge was taking a 2% cut from the total cargo value, and it’s said this one is more greedy."
"If the cut isn’t enough, they might casually plant something prohibited in the cargo during inspection. Generally, they won’t confiscate the goods—it’s too straightforward—but could hold the goods at the port for a year or longer, causing a chamber of commerce to collapse."
"What do you plan to give as a gift?"
"Haven’t decided yet."
"Come see me before the banquet tonight, and I’ll go with you."
"This..."
There was an evident hesitation in Qiu Yisao’s voice, laced with unease: "Senior, the firepower of the Peace-Seeking Civilization is not weak... If anything unexpected happens, leading to a planetary closure, it could be a major incident."
"Hmm, I understand."
...
After hanging up with Qiu Yisao, Chen Mang finally let out a sigh of relief, lazily stretching, and looked up at the gradually darkening sky with a light smile.
His luck had always been good.
When sleepy, someone sends a pillow.
Just then——
Old Pig leaned over and whispered: "President Ai has retrieved all recent intelligence related to the Peace-Seeking Civilization. So far, the firepower of the Peace-Seeking Civilization is organized as follows."
"The Law Enforcement Bureau of each city."
"Generally speaking, a city’s law enforcement headquarters is equipped with a Level 10 train. Its main means of attack is the Level 10 Doomsday Cannon, and it has Level 10 armor. The enforcement personnel are equipped with standard weapons, with an attack intensity generally at Level 1."
"Going further up."
"There are the base weapons of each city, such as the anti-aircraft guns around Sanshui City and the harbor, which are generally at around Level 30."
"Besides those——"
"The stronger ones are the ’Interstellar Main Cannon’ and the ’Train Army.’
"The former mainly protects the planet, with the Peace-Seeking Civilization owning three, all with an attack strength at Level 50, used to defend against invasion by external civilizations and high-speed meteoroid fragments breaking through the defense net to collide with the planet."
"In addition, there is a large robot force, a small armored ground action force, and the mainstream ’Train Army.’ The active number of trains is 1,600, with the highest-level military train being Level 30."
"The strongest weapons equipped are the Level 99 ’Akanon Light Energy Main Cannon.’"
"Mainstream weapons are still pink components, ’Rattlesnake Fluctuating Cannon,’ considered auxiliary cannons, generally with an attack strength of Level 50."
"However..."
Old Pig paused and continued: "Of these 1,600 mechanical trains in service, 1,086 belong to private family arms of the ’Peace-Seeking Civilization.’ Their policy is that any family that places their train in the army will receive fifty percent government coverage for their train upgrade costs."
"On normal days, these family trains are used by the respective families themselves and are only requisitioned during wartime."
"The Peace-Seeking Civilization hasn’t experienced war for many years now."
"Hmm."
Chen Mang nodded slightly, taking the tablet from Old Pig and leafing through it. Upgrading a seven-color level component to Level 100 consumes a lot of resources, but a civilization can still afford it overall.
But after Level 100, the resources required skyrocket to astronomical figures.
The Peace-Seeking Civilization’s strongest weapon is its Level 99 ’Akanon Light Energy Main Cannon,’ which means... even with all methods unleashed, they couldn’t break his train’s defenses.
