Chapter 173

After communicating with Ding Junyi, Lin Xian gradually gained a vague understanding of the night.

Under the influence of this power, the surviving humans were all like Chen Sixuan, their bodies undergoing unknown evolution every day. This was also thanks to Teacher Chen's increasingly powerful heart and belief, which allowed a weak woman to persist until now.

Lin Xian also communicated simply with Chen Sixuan and Gao Ta. Currently, it seemed that Gao Ta's evolution, like Kiki's, belonged to the staged evolution of ability users.

It should have reached the 【Evolution Level】 in the previous Angel Project, reaching the primary level where one could truly develop one's own abilities. Even so, Gao Ta's entire person, whether in strength or recovery, was already at a very powerful level in the eyes of ordinary people.

And Chen Sixuan was undergoing subtle changes, the most important being her perception. She, who had kept watch in the middle of the night so many times, had become incredibly sharp regarding subtle movements and observation in the dark night. This point was something Lin Xian had completely not expected.

With Ding Junyi's research analysis, plus the changes in Gao Ta and Chen Sixuan, as well as the addition of the strong woman Hearing Shu Qin, Lin Xian felt his confidence had strengthened quite a bit.

Getting off the train, he began to quickly set about the train's refitting work.

Although it was daytime, because he had to dismantle the carriages and was in the wild, for the sake of safety, Lin Xian specially arranged for Lu Xingchen and several fleet members to go to the surroundings to keep watch, and even the little girl Shasha was actively patrolling everywhere.

*Ssh! *

With the help of Chen Sixuan and Kiki, the Infinity train began to separate each carriage.

This train refitting and upgrade was different from the past; it was a major project from the inside out. Fortunately, with the addition of Hearing Shu Qin's fleet, there was quite a bit more manpower. Men and women all perked up, and under the arrangement of Lin Xian, Chen Sixuan, and others, they began to work in an orderly division of labor.

Lin Xian directly had people move everything out of his Carriage No. 1, completely emptying it, and then put this carriage in the back, preparing to make it a defense carriage. The passenger carriages with high comfort and complete configurations were used to make the No. 6 dining car and the No. 8, No. 9, and No. 10 living carriages. One of the first-class high-end carriages inside was refitted to be used as his own Carriage No. 1 for refitting.

His first step was to refit the carriage body. Carriage No. 2, Carriage No. 5, Carriage No. 11, and Carriage No. 12 were to have carriage body openings made, which would be convenient for manufacturing lifting platforms, weapon bases, automatic explosion-proof doors, and lifting plates later.

Then there was the batch manufacturing of roof armor, side armor, and flap protective plates, reinforcing the entire train to build it into a complete steel fortress!

He didn't lack these materials currently. He also manufactured a simple gantry crane on the platform. After he manufactured the armor plates, Gao Ta would lead people to use the gantry crane for assembly, welding, and bolt installation, which greatly saved his time.

On the other side, Hearing Shu Qin led people to start moving the supplies from those 30-plus survivor vehicles. Lin Xian took a look and felt there were quite a lot of things: all kinds of firearms, bullets, food, equipment, etc., were all available. The remaining heavy truck was even fully loaded with daily necessities.

After these supplies were cleared, Lin Xian prepared to use those vehicles for mechanical devouring, which would be used to upgrade the Mechanical Heart while also obtaining more materials.

The 1130 close-in weapon system required quite a few high-level materials and also needed a large number of bullets. The PX-5 engineering robot was the same—they were all high-level things he hadn't built before, not something that could be built just by saying so, like a door panel.

*Clang, clang, clang... *

At this moment, Lin Xian was like a creator. Heavy armor plates were manufactured out of thin air by him, and they were hoisted away by the crane while still radiating residual heat.

Then there were the automatic explosion-proof doors for Carriage No. 5 and Carriage No. 11. Lin Xian used the blueprint of the explosion-proof door in the airport's internal garrison area.

With such a door, it not only had powerful protective capabilities but also made it convenient for personnel to get on and off the train, which was much more effective than the original way of only being able to enter and exit through the protective tail plate and the cockpit door. Then there were the lifting platforms for Carriage No. 2 and Carriage No. 5. The main purpose here was to use them for the roof machine gun fortress. However, Gao Ta had a mobile Gatling gun, and Chen Sixuan used a sniper rifle, so there was no need to build a separate machine gun turret.

Lin Xian's idea was to make a flexible personnel entry/exit. After the lifting plate came out, it would raise a bulletproof cabin cover that could be opened and closed, which could ensure airtightness. If it was necessary to shoot outward, one could just actively open it from the inside.

For Carriage No. 2, Lin Xian reserved a large area, preparing to subsequently install a G3 electromagnetic railgun. This guy, like the 1130, was not small in volume, and it had to be made into a hidden lifting type, making the complexity quite high.

Besides this, Lin Xian also accepted Kiki's suggestion to add some hidden shooting holes on the sides of other carriages, which could be completely sealed from the inside.

These all belonged to the train's external refitting. On the other side, Chen Sixuan and Kiki led people to empty the train from the inside out, preparing to re-inventory all supplies and then lay out the carriages according to the confirmed plan.

Inside this, the living area needed to build some bed frames, dining tables, chairs, storage cabinets, freezers, and the bathroom and water circulation system inside the train, as well as the heating system, all of which required Lin Xian to perform mechanical manufacturing.

In the eyes of others, Lin Xian was like a creator.

Those components inside the carriages that originally required complex industrial supporting parts were easily handled in his hands.

For example, in Hearing Shu Qin's original team, eating, sleeping, and cooking were basically all done on the vehicle. Many things were either spliced together with discarded materials or fixed with ropes—they were all simple facilities.

But Lin Xian didn't need that at all. Like the bunk beds for the space cabin-style living cabin that Kiki wanted in Carriage No. 2, they were actually the simplest mechanical structures for him. As long as there were materials and a blueprint was drawn, he could get it done in a few minutes.

The most critical thing was that they could be directly fixed to the train, just like they came out of a factory, completely without any shabby taste.

!

The newly joined fleet members were stunned.

At the same time, after Carriages No. 8, No. 9, and No. 10 living carriages were refitted, these people were even more excited.

The carriages not only had heavy armor on the outside, bringing a strong sense of safety, but were also clean and tidy on the inside, with comfortable beds in each compartment. For these survivors who had been squeezed into cars for a long time, it was simply like heaven.

"Wow, living on this feels so safe."

"Oh my god, we actually have our own rooms..."

"Can't believe it, Team Leader Lin is so amazing."

"I simply love this train to death."

In the living carriages, the newly joined survivors were excitedly arranging their new survival home, each of them extremely active, men and women alike, all busy in tacit understanding.
