Chapter 544 - 399: The New Mode of Future Transportation, Decompose the Treasure Chest!_2

Until later, he found a car inside the Secret Realm, then found a dune buggy, and finally used the high-precision research workstation to break them down into blueprints and parts, and with great difficulty manufactured the only working car in the Otherworld.

Meanwhile, he kept collecting asphalt pavement, using the workstation to break it down into blueprints and successfully constructed the Otherworld’s first road.

Now, this road extends continuously from the main Shelter, passing through the vast Desert, reaching Belger Lake, and continuing eastward past it until it reaches the distant Nitrate Ore!

Covering a distance of nearly over a hundred kilometers, even Bai would need nearly an hour of long-distance flying, consuming considerable stamina.

Driving also takes about the same time, wasting an hour just on this, and during the journey, you must ensure not to encounter any mutant creatures.

Otherwise, even more time will be wasted.

Moreover, the highway is built almost right next to the Desolate ground, making it easy for mutant creatures to pass through.

If driving forward at high speed, and a mutant sheep suddenly appears from the front...

It would undoubtedly be a disastrous accident!

Fortunately, until now, Lin Yue has not encountered such an event, but that doesn’t mean it won’t happen later.

Ordinary fences cannot block those abundant and highly aggressive mutant creatures; perhaps one day he might encounter such an event while driving.

At that time, if an accident occurs because of this, it would truly be counterproductive!

Lin Yue does not want to encounter such a thing.

Now, with the "Medium-Short Distance Rail Rapid Train and Track Design Map" at hand, undoubtedly, his transportation measures will gain a further boost, allowing him to quickly reach the bases at the Nitrate Ore and Oil River!

Short-distance movement will also make resource extraction and collection more efficient, similarly raising his living standard!

"Who doesn’t want to sit and lay back to reach their destination?"

Lin Yue knows, if materials are sufficient, he soon will establish a dedicated railway in the Otherworld!

"Let me see what is needed... Steel rails naturally require steel, this stuff is still quite plentiful, especially from dismantling the Tokyo Tower last time, leaving much surplus. There is plenty of wood, and crushed stone can be made from stone materials..."

Materials required for a section of track aren’t many: carbon steel, timber, and stone materials. Of course, if you want to lay a whole stretch of track, it seems some wires are needed too.

But there is one problem needing a solution.

This Otherworld is not as peaceful as Earth.

The mutant creatures here are alarmingly plentiful.

Not to mention other issues, if they occupy the tracks as their habitat, then he will face an endless task of driving them away.

This task will severely occupy his already limited time, turning what should be convenient into a burden.

Thus, if he wants to establish this, he must consider a way that won’t be attacked, occupied, or disturbed by mutant creatures.

"Elevated Bridge!"

Lin Yue immediately thought of this solution to all problems!

Indeed, with an elevated bridge, everything can be resolved!

Originally on Earth, railway tracks often have elevated bridge settings, especially in the high-speed rail era, elevated bridges have even become the primary layout.

Through complex terrain, residential areas, rivers, mountains, elevated bridges become extremely useful methods, allowing tracks to extend forward, enabling trains to overcome terrain challenges.

In the Otherworld, elevated bridges taller than ten meters or more will pose an unmovable presence against the mutant creatures.

If talking about drawbacks, there are indeed some.

First is disaster, which cannot be completely avoided, which can only be mitigated by reinforcing and preparing defenses.

Second is giant creatures, although he cleared the nearby giant creatures, one never knows when Lizardmen might drag them out of nowhere.

If it’s giant creatures, they could indeed cause some damage to the railway.

Mmmm... There are no other ways?

After pondering for a while, Lin Yue realized, indeed, each method has drawbacks, but if he hesitates like this, he certainly cannot progress.

However, it is late today, time to rest, cannot stay here all the time, all chests are opened, aren’t they?

Bai and Xiao Meng are still circling the Mineral Resource Reserve Detector, seemingly still intrigued.

They seem to open so many chests, yet never seem to get bored of it.

Especially Bai, how many consecutive chests now, and always maintaining curiosity?

"Alright, let’s go up now, nothing more here, you two are truly patient."
