First, create an ordinary carriage again, consuming 100 units of iron ore, which he had long promised to these slaves, to give them a bit more living space. However, the ordinary carriage created at that time was scrapped in the boss battle.
Next, naturally, is... the "Crafting Table".
After consuming 500 units of iron ore, the green-grade accessory "Crafting Table" was also created, placed in the No. 2 freight carriage. Currently, the only thing that can be crafted is the "Energy Stone".
The crafting table is level 1, consuming 500 units of iron ore to create a level 1 Energy Stone.
Chen Mang left the train room, walked to the No. 2 freight carriage, took out a diamond the size of a pigeon egg from a crafting table resembling a square box, and played with it in his hand. This thing is the Energy Stone.
He then placed this Energy Stone into the generator.
The lights in all the carriages of the entire train suddenly lit up, even exuding a touch of warmth on the wasteland. The essence of human civilization cannot be without electricity. The existence of this thing makes human society look more like a civilization.
Currently, there is nothing that can use electricity in his train, just these light bulbs. The Energy Stone could support the generator for more than 300 days.
He also has no plans to make another Energy Stone.
The Energy Stone in the train head is still at 62%; when it’s nearly used up, he will make another. In case of any emergency, he can also completely remove the Energy Stone from the generator and install it into the train head.
These two items cost him 1000 units of iron ore.
The "Train Radio" is definitely something that needs to be prioritized; communication ensures that the train does not become isolated on the wasteland, consuming 500 units of iron ore.
The "Target Detection Radar" also has a high priority, as its presence can ensure basic safety when the train is stationed in the wilderness, also consuming 500 units of iron ore.
He has consumed 2100 units of iron ore, with only 151 units of iron ore left.
In the train room, Chen Mang, having almost squandered all of today’s mined iron ore, exhaled deeply and immediately looked at the panel of the green accessory "Target Detection Radar".
"Accessory Name": Target Detection Radar.
"Accessory Grade": Green.
"Accessory Level": Level 1.
"Accessory Effect": An alert will be given within a 1000-meter radius centered on the train for any non-train members approaching.
"Upgrade Conditions": 1000 units of iron ore.
On the left side of the control panel, a rectangular screen made up of countless white lines appeared out of thin air. When the white light faded, the screen was lit.
The screen displayed a green light circle, with a top-view three-dimensional map of the "Constant Star Train" in the center of the circle.
There were nearly a hundred green dots inside and near the train, but not a single red dot was seen in the entire circle.
Although the accessory effect stated that an alert would be issued when any living entity approached, it seemed that the living entities here only included other humans and monsters, not small insects and such.
This screen’s energy source relies on electricity, and he completed the entire train’s circuit system when the train was level 1.
There was also a small, palm-sized protrusion resembling a bump in front of the train head, which was the external Target Detection Radar.
When an enemy is detected, it will issue an alarm sound to warn.
However, he currently doesn’t have the "Car Sound System" accessory, so there’s no way to make a sound, only screen text and images for warnings.
Chen Mang raised an eyebrow and consumed another 100 units of iron ore to create the white-grade vehicle accessory "Car Sound System".
This accessory is a sound system.
There’s a large speaker mounted externally on the train head.
Inside the train room, six small speakers are embedded in the corners, and each carriage also has six speakers distributed in different positions at the front, middle, and back.
The warning, as well as the sounds of accessories like the "Train Assistance AI", will all come through the speakers.
And he can also use the speakers to immediately and accurately convey his commands to each train member’s ear. He could even imitate that level 2 train, playing DJ music as it roars arrogantly across the wasteland.
Now his pockets are truly empty.
Not a bit left, only 51 units of iron ore, leaving some for making food and water early tomorrow.
Everyone was already asleep, with a few thugs patrolling outside the train at night.
Chen Mang found himself unable to sleep. Instead, he leaned on his cane, stepped down from the train room, and walked to a clearing not far away, looking at his Constant Star Train, which lay quietly on the ground like a sleeping giant beast.
A sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart.
This train started with only a simple train head. Now, in his hands, the train has gradually developed and become more complete.
This feeling is indescribable, like watching a child grow up.
It’s worth mentioning.
The "Spider Legs" wheel, although it’s modeled after the structure of spider legs, isn’t made of real flesh but is a mechanical form with a steel structure throughout. At first glance, it looks somewhat out of place with the train, but after a few more glances, you can feel the power contained within the mechanical train and... the tension and charm of mechanical products.
Chen Mang sat on the cracked ground of the wasteland, his expression somewhat dazed as he looked into the distance at the sleeping giant beast beneath the night sky full of stars, the scarlet cigarette butt flickering faintly between his fingers.
Just quietly watched.
His mind emptied, simply appreciating his creation, as if admiring a rare artwork of the world.
He looked down to find the cigarette butt in his fingers had long since extinguished, casually threw it aside, and he suddenly understood why lions love to patrol their territory.
It’s a kind of... indescribable pride and satisfaction.
It’s truly wonderful.
Just then, his cane in his arms suddenly trembled slightly, and a tiny curved screen appeared on the surface of the cane, displaying the miniature screen of the Target Detection Radar, showing three red dots slowly approaching the train.
He didn’t say anything further.
He could see the thugs patrolling around the train were already armed and heading over.
After a few gunshots, the wasteland returned to silence, and the red dots disappeared.
Chen Mang chuckled softly, continued sitting, shook his head without speaking, seemingly noticing that through previous events, these thugs had become much more vigilant.
Today, during the day, there were also some scattered monsters that launched attacks on them.
Yet, this rather gave him a sense of reassurance.
At the very least, it indicates that there is no terrifying boss around here. The priority of the "Wind-Fire Wheel" must also be increased; speed in the wasteland often means survival.
Once all necessary accessories are crafted, he would then selectively upgrade a few high-priority ones.
He stood up, brushed the dust off his pants, and leaned on his cane, slowly walking toward the train head.
He hoped tomorrow would still be a peaceful day.
God bless, let tomorrow be uneventful.
