Chapter 174

In Carriage No. 7, Chen Sixuan led people to move and inventory all survival supplies in the storage room.

"172, 173... Little Li, put biscuits and the like uniformly in the C1 area." Chen Sixuan commanded while counting.

"Okay, Team Leader Chen."

Team Leader Chen? Chen Sixuan bit her lower lip secretly upon hearing this, a little joy flashing in her heart, but her face still maintained a serious expression: "Put the meat jerky in the freezer, be careful not to put it in the wrong place."

Seeing that all the train carriages were being busily arranged, she came to Carriage No. 4 to find Lin Xian.

"Quite a harvest. Food is very abundant for us, and we found quite a lot of medical supplies. As for those weapons..."

Lin Xian was currently manufacturing the soilless cultivation racks and plant cultivation cabins for Carriage No. 4. He nodded and said:

"Food and medicine are key. As for other weapons, just collect them for now. By the way, did you find any blood essence?"

With Lin Xian's mechanical manufacturing ability, he didn't currently need those mechanical equipment and firearms unless they were very high-level. Besides that, blood essence was the most critical.

Shu Qin also walked over at this time, holding a refitted radio: "It's very strange. Even the blood essence on the Dark Radio is gone, but the supplies don't seem to be missing anything."

Lin Xian's expression sank slightly: "Then it seems that some kind of monster really devoured the people along with it."

Both people and blood essence were gone, but important survival supplies and vehicles were left behind. Lin Xian felt a bit creepy. Even if they encountered eerie entities or zombie tides, it shouldn't be such a scene.

At least there would be some resistance...

Shu Qin nodded: "We arrived in Jiazhou a few hours earlier than you. The night here seems to be different from the one in Yubei."

"Different? Why?" Chen Sixuan asked.

"Maybe it has to do with the three Star Abysses." Lin Xian said at this time. This was also one of his guesses. Although the daytime gained by staying away from the Star Abyss tides was longer, entering the night and being influenced by No. 3, No. 5, and No. 7, things might become different.

At this time, Lu Xingchen ran onto the train. He had just been keeping watch and, seeing that they were busily assembling the train here, ran over to find Lin Xian.

"Brother Lin."

"Speak."

"Remember the tea-boiling machine I mentioned before? Help me get one. I see the water on our train is very good; it must be excellent for making tea."

Lin Xian was very surprised when he heard this and admired this guy's mentality, still having the mind to study the tea ceremony while fleeing.

However, Lin Xian didn't say anything, just smiled faintly: "After all these are assembled, I'll help you build a separate tea table."

These weren't difficult things for Lin Xian either. For example, Kiki, this little girl, was also scatterbrained. She had long ago thrown away the entertainment equipment he had obtained in Jiang City, only for that little girl to take it to Carriage No. 2 to set up an entertainment area, and she would even take Shasha to play games when she was free.

"Soulmate!"

Hearing Lin Xian's words, Lu Xingchen's eyes lit up, and he made an exaggerated expression of 'you understand me', lifting his fingers and saying: "With Brother Lin's care like this, I, Lu Xingchen, will definitely protect the human race for all eternity!"

How did it rise to protecting the human race for all eternity? There were less than thirty people on the train in total.

Lin Xian opened his mouth, but swallowed the words that came to his lips.

He thought that it was good for this guy to have such enthusiasm. Now that the entire train's firepower had been upgraded, there were evolution-level ability users like Kiki and Gao Ta on the train, plus a fire-type evolution-level Lu Xingchen, which had truly improved their sense of safety quite a bit.

【Preparation Factory: Material conversion complete】

Lin Xian opened his preparation factory at this time, and his eyes lit up immediately. So, he came to an empty carriage, preparing to try to build something new.

That PX-05 engineering robot! This kind of robot could do more precise welding and fixing work. When at the airport, Lin Xian had been very envious of this robot, as it could greatly improve efficiency and help Lin Xian do a lot of train maintenance work.

"Let's try..." Lin Xian took a deep breath.

Light flickered, many precise materials kept flying out, and began to assemble in front of Lin Xian's palm. But this time, the manufacturing speed was slow. Those materials kept changing in the air, and Lin Xian was already sweating on his forehead, but the robot's core processor didn't even have a prototype.

"Damn, is it this complex?"

Lin Xian's pupils narrowed, and he immediately stopped the manufacturing in his hands.

*Ding~* A small piece of black unfinished object fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.

Lin Xian wiped his sweat, picked it up, and found it was a corner of an unformed chip, and immediately clicked his tongue.

"Looks like the mechanical manufacturing level is too low."

【Mechanical Manufacturing: 2 (420/500)】

Lin Xian opened his Mechanical Heart panel. At this time, the mechanical manufacturing ability had increased from the previous 260 to 420 following the airport and the large number of train component manufacturing just now, approaching Level 3.

"Then let's upgrade mechanical manufacturing to Level 3 today, and try again tonight."

His concerns were right. Lin Xian had truly underestimated the manufacturing difficulty of such a robot. After all, it possessed a very high level of intelligence and came with Hall-effect anode layer thrusters. Although it was just an engineering robot, it wasn't a simple matter to manufacture it at will.

"Then it seems that even if one possesses the materials, the manufacturing difficulty is also a problem. I estimate the 1130 will also take quite a bit of time."

!

Lin Xian sighed and walked out of the carriage.

*Clang, clang, clang~*

At this time, the black "Infinity" began to be dismantled section by section, and the gantry crane kept installing new defensive protective plates. The upgrade work was carried out busily.

"Fine, do the rough work first, then handle those precision systems."

Carriages, armor, living areas, restaurants, supply collection and organization—these were the urgent problems. Get these done first, and if an emergency situation occurred, they could still run away.

Although precision systems like robots were very useful, their priority was definitely not as important as the external defense of the train, and they could be solved slowly later.

Many previous experiences told him how important the train's defense was. How many times had it helped the small team resist the disaster of total annihilation and survive to run away?

The feeling of having a whole day made all the fleet members of the "Infinity" feel a bit unaccustomed. The train assembly work went from morning until afternoon. With the help of dozens of people, the prototype of the "Infinity," which possessed 12 carriages and two sets of power locomotives, had basically been configured.

Black armor tightly covered it, and the two sets of explosion-proof automatic doors looked full of technological sense.

Inside the carriages, Chen Sixuan and several women from the fleet were organizing food and tableware in the dining car.

In Carriage No. 2, Kiki and Shasha were happily arranging their new space. The nuclear locomotive's onboard server had been moved here, and Lin Xian had specially built a weapon assembly table for Shasha to mess around with.

Gao Ta and Shu Qin were laying out the pipes manufactured by Lin Xian inside the carriages, connecting the vehicle's water tank, water purification system, and heating system.

In Carriage No. 4, Lin Xian found Zou Yunyao and several other young people from Shu Qin's original fleet to help Ding Junyi. These were all young people with relatively high levels of education before the doomsday. At this time, they were helping her arrange the soilless cultivation racks and plant cultivation cabins manufactured by Lin Xian.

*Click, click~*

Small explosion-proof surveillance cameras were slowly manufactured by Lin Xian and installed on one side of the train roof. This kind of surveillance possessed infrared night vision detection functions. After the entire train was installed, it could have comprehensive monitoring of the entire train and could also design emergency alarms.

Combined with the photoelectric observation and active phased array radar at the front of the train, the Infinity had clear and sharp external monitoring means, and its safety could also be improved quite a bit.

"Hiss..."

Lin Xian stood up and stretched, rubbing his old waist, feeling sore all over. But time waited for no one, and he had to get all the external defense devices done before dark.

"There's one last thing left outside: the outer armored electric blade device!"
