Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 177 - 172 Outer Armor Electric Blade Device

Carriage 7, Chen Sixuan was leading people in the storage room, moving and counting all the survival supplies.

"172, 173... Xiao Li, put all the biscuits in section C1," Chen Sixuan was commanding while taking inventory.

"Understood, Captain Chen."

Captain Chen? Hearing this, Chen Sixuan secretly pressed her lips together, feeling a slight thrill of joy, but her face remained serious: "Put all the jerked meat into the cooler, and make sure not to put it in the wrong place."

Seeing that each carriage was bustling with preparations, she went to find Lin Xian in Carriage 4.

"We’ve harvested quite a bit, food is very plentiful for us, and we’ve also found a lot of medical supplies, weapons, and such..."

At this moment, Lin Xian was working on the hydroponics racks and Plant Cultivation Chambers of Carriage 4 and nodded,

"Food and medicine are crucial. As for other weapons, we can just collect what we find for now. By the way, did you find any Blood Essence?"

With Lin Xian’s Mechanical Manufacturing ability, he didn’t need the mechanical equipment and firearms at the moment, unless they were of a very high grade, other than that, Blood Essence was more critical.

Shu Qin came over at this time, holding a modified radio: "It’s strange, even the Blood Essence from the dark radio is gone, but it seems like none of the supplies are missing."

Lin Xian’s expression darkened slightly: "Then it seems likely that some kind of Monster has devoured everything, including the people."

The disappearance of people and Blood Essence, while the important survival supplies and cars were left behind, sent shivers down Lin Xian’s spine. Even facing an Abnormal Body or a corpse tide shouldn’t have resulted in this scenario.

At least there would have been some signs of resistance...

Shu Qin nodded: "We arrived in Jiazhou a few hours earlier than you. The night here seems different from Yu Bei."

"Different? Why?" asked Chen Sixuan.

"It might have something to do with the three Star Abysses." Lin Xian said, this was also one of his guesses. Although being far from the Star Abysses gave them longer daylight, entering the night would be influenced by the 3rd, 5th, and 7th Abysses, which could make things different.

At this time, Lu Xingchen ran onto the train, having just been out scouting. Seeing that the train was being actively equipped, he hurried over to find Lin Xian.

"Brother Lin."

"Go ahead."

"Remember the tea brewing machine I mentioned earlier? Please remember to get me one. The water quality on our train seems great for brewing tea. It’ll surely be outstanding."

Hearing this, Lin Xian looked at him with surprise, admiring his state of mind. In the midst of fleeing, he still had the interest in pursuing the art of tea.

But Lin Xian said nothing and just gave a faint smile: "Once all these are assembled, I’ll make you a tea station."

These were not difficult tasks for Lin Xian. Like KIKI, she was carefree and had long forgotten the entertainment equipment he acquired in Jiang City. Instead, she took it to create an Entertainment Area in Carriage 2, occasionally playing games with Sha Sha.

"A true friend!"

Hearing Lin Xian’s words, Lu Xingchen’s eyes brightened, he made an exaggerated ’you get me’ expression, wagged his finger, and declared: "With Brother Lin looking after me like this, I, Lu Xingchen, will surely protect our Human Race for all eternity!"

How did it escalate to protecting the Human Race for all eternity? There were barely thirty people on the train.

Lin Xian opened his mouth as if to speak, then swallowed his words.

He thought to himself it was good for this guy to have such enthusiasm. Now, with the upgrades to the train’s firepower, and having KIKI and Building, both Evolution Level Superpower Users, along with a Fire-type Evolution Level Lu Xingchen, the sense of security had indeed improved a lot.

[Preparation Factory: Material conversion complete]

At this moment, Lin Xian opened his Preparation Factory and his eyes lit up. So he went to an empty carriage, ready to try making something new.

The PX-05 construction machinery robot! He had been eyeing this robot quite greedily during his time at the Airport as it could perform more precise welding and securing tasks. It could greatly improve efficiency and help Lin Xian with various carriage maintenance work.

"Let’s give it a shot..." Lin Xian took a deep breath.

Light flickered, and numerous precision materials kept flying out, starting to assemble in front of Lin Xian’s palm.

But this time, the construction was slow, the materials in the air kept changing form, and Lin Xian’s forehead was already sweating, yet the robot’s core processor was nowhere near even a rudimentary shape.

"Damn, is it that complicated?"

Lin Xian’s pupils tightened, and he immediately stopped the manufacturing process.

Clink~ A small, black unfinished object fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.

Lin Xian wiped off his sweat, picked it up, and saw it was an unformed chip fragment, clicking his tongue immediately.

"It looks like my level in Mechanical Manufacturing is too low."

[Mechanical Manufacturing: 2（420/500）]

Lin Xian opened the panel for his Mechanical Heart and saw that his Mechanical Manufacturing capability had increased from 260 to 420 due to the recent manufacturing of a large number of train parts at the airport, nearly reaching level 3.

"Then let’s first level up Mechanical Manufacturing to 3 today, and try again tonight."

His concerns were valid; Lin Xian had indeed underestimated the difficulty of manufacturing such a robot—a robot with an extremely high level of intelligence and equipped with a Hall thruster. While it was only an engineering robot, creating one casually was not so simple.

"So, even if I have the materials, manufacturing difficulty is another problem, and I estimate it will take a significant amount of time."

Lin Xian took a deep breath and stepped down from the carriage.

Clang clang clang~

At this moment, the black ’Infinity’ began to be disassembled section by section, and new defensive plates were continuously added to the doors by the crane; the upgrade work was proceeding vigorously.

"Alright, finish the rough work first, then deal with those precise systems."

Carriages, armor, living areas, dining car, material collection and sorting—these were immediate needs. Sort these out first, and if a critical situation arises, there’s still the option to flee.

Systems as intricate as the robots are very useful, but their priority definitely can’t compare to the importance of the carriage’s exterior defense, which can be dealt with slowly later.

Many past experiences had taught him how vital the train’s defense system was. It had helped the team resist disasters that could’ve wiped them out completely and allowed them to escape and survive.

Having a whole day made all members of the ’Infinity’ train crew feel somewhat unaccustomed. The assembly work of the train carried on from morning till the afternoon. With the help of dozens of people, the outline of the ’Infinity’—with its 12 carriages and two power locomotives—was already basically in place.

The black armor was tightly covered, and the two sets of explosion-proof automatic doors looked exceptionally high-tech.

Inside the carriage, Chen Sixuan and a few women of the team were organizing food and utensils in the dining car.

In Carriage 2, KIKI and Sha Sha were happily setting up their new space. The nuclear-powered locomotive’s onboard server was moved here, and Lin Xian had specially created a weapon assembly station for Sha Sha to tinker with.

Building and Shu Qin, among others, were inside the carriage, setting up Lin Xian’s manufactured piping, connecting the vehicle’s water tanks, water purification systems, and heating systems.

In Carriage 4, Lin Xian had called over some young people from Shu Qin’s team for Ding Junyi to assist. They were all well-educated young people before the apocalypse, and at the moment, they were helping to set up the soilless cultivation frames and Plant Cultivation Chambers that Lin Xian had made.

Click click~

One by one, small-scale explosion-proof surveillance cameras were slowly being manufactured by Lin Xian and installed on one side of the train’s roof. These cameras were equipped with infrared night vision and, once installed across the whole train, would allow comprehensive monitoring of the entire train and also design emergency alarms.

Combined with leading car’s photoelectric sighting and active phased array radar, ’Infinity’ would then possess clear and sensitive external surveillance capabilities, significantly enhancing safety.

"Hiss..."

Lin Xian got up and stretched, rubbing his weary back, feeling sore all over. But there was no time to lose; he had to finish all the external defense installations before dark.

"Just one last thing left for the exterior—the Outer Armor Electric Blade Device!"
