System: My Doomsday Train-Chapter 717 - 314: Final Battle, Officially Begins! (Requesting Monthly Tickets)_3
Biaozi took a deep breath and walked briskly towards Carriage No. 2. He had to quickly organize his mecha and weapons. This plan couldn’t afford to fail. As the most senior person on the Constant Star Train, with so many newcomers joining recently, he felt a heavy sense of crisis. He had to execute this mission perfectly!
Moreover, it was obvious that Master Mang was also looking out for him, assigning him to Extreme Night City, which was the city where "Master Mang" was located. If anything went wrong, Master Mang could support him immediately. In such a situation, if he failed, he might as well be dead.
"..."
The Celestial Secret Pavilion Master stood in place, looking at his colleagues inside the train room. With a complex expression, he remained silent, and the other seven leaders of the Black Tortoise Civilization forces were the same.
The pride they once held in their hearts was completely shattered.
Originally, they had taken out a total of nearly 10 trillion units of resources to support the Constant Star Train. Watching the Constant Star Train improve little by little, they felt very proud, thinking that they had greatly contributed to its development.
But...
When they learned the theoretical gains of this plan amounted to 170 trillion units of iron ore and 170 trillion units of copper ore.
They fell silent.
The resources their Black Tortoise Civilization had accumulated over nearly a hundred years, almost tirelessly, seemed like a joke.
Their "Apocalypse Plan" seemed petty, like child’s play.
Far less impressive than Master Mang’s unnamed plan.
Such a grand plan didn’t even have an action code name, unlike their Apocalypse Plan, which had such an ambitious name. The more they thought about it, the more ashamed they felt.
Luckily, they invested early.
Had they invested even a little later, with those resources, it would have been difficult to buy a ticket on the Constant Star Train, let alone escape with their planet when war broke out.
"Don’t let us down, everyone."
The Celestial Secret Pavilion Master softly said to the others, "We originally joined with capital contributions, but now our shares have been diluted to a very small part. At this time, we must at least demonstrate our individual combat capabilities. Without the train’s intervention, let Master Mang know that our combat power is not weak either."
"Show our potential."
"Perhaps..."
"We might even secure resource advantages in the future to oversee the ground combat forces within the train."
Initially wanting to be major shareholders, it now seemed impossible to be even minor shareholders.
They could only join with technology.
This time they must succeed and not fail. Otherwise, they won’t even have technology to contribute. Without capital and technology, their presence on the Constant Star Train becomes very ambiguous—promises?
When in the future Master Mang accumulates increasing resources, remembering their ten trillion resources might be forgotten, along with any promises once made.
They could not always pin their hopes on promises.
They also had to demonstrate their abilities.
...
Under the night sky.
Shrouded in darkness, "Extreme Night City," Chen Mang sat in a street-side café, continuously browsing the news on his tablet.
This city is permanently in extreme night, hence its name.
Perhaps in such an environment.
The light pollution in this city is particularly severe. The whole city appears like a cybercity, quite dazzling, and he likes this city. If he had the chance in the future, he’d also like to build such a city within his own civilization.
He was browsing news from the "Kasha Civilization."
It is worth mentioning that—
The domain of the Kasha Civilization spans tens of thousands of light-years. Managing such a vast area is highly challenging, such as in terms of message transmission.
In the world he crossed from, many dynasties with such vast territories in history eventually collapsed. A major reason was the territory was simply too large, and it took over a year for messages from the capital to reach the frontier.
Such untimely message delivery basically meant the capital’s control over the frontier was very low.
This often led to easy rebellion.
And that was just a part of a single planet’s area. The Kasha Civilization’s domain spans tens of thousands of light-years, many times over, and it uses the communications method called the "Collective Celestial Net."
Firstly, it links all civilizations within the Kasha Civilization Federation through multiple Wormholes.
Then, at the entrance and exit of the Wormholes, multiple bases of the "Collective Celestial Net" are built. Additionally, a base is built on the planet and in the nearby territory to use the Wormholes and bases as media for message transmission.
For instance,
when the Kasha Civilization leader issues a command to the 27th star system, the message first reaches the base at the Wormhole entrance from the "Kasha Civilization" to the "27th star system." It then passes through the Wormhole to the base at the Wormhole exit, and from there it can cover individuals within the range who can receive the message.
There are no requirements for receiving devices.
It supports multiple encodings.
Whether it’s the "Train Radio," a regular tablet, or the watches released by various civilizations, as long as they’re allowed to receive, they can receive the corresponding message.
However—
Information traveling from the Wormhole entrance base to the exit base cannot be transmitted wirelessly. The environment within the Wormhole is extremely complex, requiring a wired connection in this instance.
A long cable is needed to traverse the Wormhole, linking the bases at both ends.
With these devices,
any command from the Kasha Civilization can reach any area within the domain accurately and promptly within thirty seconds!
