My Doomsday Train

#12 - Train construction.

"A total of 1500 units of iron ore, 120 units of copper ore, and 100 units of wood."

Chen Mang looked at the ore information on the note, contemplating without speaking. The first thing to build is definitely the carriages. At least two carriages need to be built, one for slaves and one for storing these ores, food, and tools.

A production line for the 'Flying Dragon Assault Rifle' also needs to be built first.

He didn't say much, just walked into the train car alone, stood in front of the train control panel, and looked at the fifth red button labeled 'Train Construction'.

After pressing this button.

Several lines of text immediately appeared on the screen.

-

"Construct a standard carriage, requiring 100 units of iron ore."

"Construct a train head, requiring 1000 units of iron ore."

-

This belongs to train construction, not 'vehicle accessories'. Building an additional train head allows for installation at the rear of the train, eliminating the need to turn around. Using the other train head as a power source can effectively increase the train's flexibility.

He tapped the first option on the screen twice.

The next moment—

He felt the train car tremble slightly. Stepping out, he saw countless white lines suddenly emerge from the hook at the end of the train head, which had been sitting alone in the wilderness. These lines wove together to form two carriages.

As the light from the lines gradually faded, the two carriages officially took shape.

They were now connected to the train head.

Looking again, his train had taken its initial form.

Of course.

The two carriages were bare inside, with nothing but iron sheets. But that was enough. What kind of treatment did slaves expect? In this day and age, survivors were already lucky enough to have a train to rely on.

He walked into the second carriage and took out his 'Flying Dragon Assault Rifle' production line blueprint * 1, a light blue semi-transparent sheet that felt like plastic. It looked a bit fragile, but he wasn't foolish enough to test its durability.

With a blueprint, you could manufacture some special vehicle accessories.

A train wasn't limited to the accessories displayed on the control panel. However, those accessories didn't require any blueprints, while other more specialized vehicle accessories required a blueprint to construct.

This production line accessory was green grade.

Construction required 500 units of iron ore.

After consuming 500 units of iron ore, the blueprint shattered and transformed into green light, forming several green lines within the carriage. These lines gradually wove together, forming a production line about six meters long.

The overall shape looked like security equipment in a subway station.

Each consumption of 50 units of iron ore could produce a 'Flying Dragon Assault Rifle', which was extremely similar in shape to an AK-47, requiring 5.56mm caliber bullets.

Unfortunately, he didn't currently have this caliber of bullets, nor did he have a production line that could make this caliber of bullets.

But fortunately,

Each rifle produced would automatically come with three fully loaded magazines. The gun's bullet capacity was 30 rounds.

That would be enough for now.

He'd see if he could find a way to get a production line for this caliber in the future.

It took 5 minutes to produce a 'Flying Dragon Assault Rifle'. He produced 12 at once, paying another 600 units of iron ore.

It was worth mentioning that.

Any iron ore consumed to build anything inside the train would be automatically consumed as long as the iron ore was on the train. There was no need to hold the iron ore in your hand or anything like that.

Afterward, Chen Mang walked out of carriage 2, stood in the wilderness, hesitated for a moment, and then spent another 100 units of iron ore to build another standard carriage.

There wasn't enough space.

His production line, iron ore, and other things needed a separate carriage, and the remaining living supplies, such as bread and mineral water, also needed a carriage.

Now there were three carriages.

Carriage 2 was tentatively designated as the warehouse carriage, storing some production lines, ore, and other things. Carriage 3 was tentatively designated as the living carriage, and carriage 4 was the slave carriage.

Just like that—

He currently only had 100 units of iron ore left, almost back to square one.

Everything required iron ore, and there was simply not enough!

As for the seven accessories essential for upgrading the train, he hadn't built a single one. There wasn't enough iron ore at all. The train didn't even have an electrical system, and there wasn't even dim lighting in the carriages. It wasn't as bright as the train head just now.

Once the slave carriage door was closed, it was completely dark.

However,

The 'Electrical System' and 'Generator' both consumed copper ore.

The newest novels are at 6_9_shu_ba.

After pondering for a moment, he felt that these two things were still very necessary. He looked at the 120 units of copper ore he had seized and immediately spent 110 units of copper ore to build both of them.

The generator was placed in the 2nd warehouse carriage.

Its volume was not small.

It occupied nearly one-seventh of the area of this carriage.

Only

Chen Mang stood in the 2nd carriage, expressionlessly looking at the generator in front of him.

"Activating the generator requires an energy stone."

"Based on the current power consumption of the train, a level 1 energy stone can provide power for approximately 300 days."

Energy stone?

A very unfamiliar name.

He immediately ran back to the train head, stood at the train control panel, opened the novice tutorial, and began to explore again. Soon he saw the source of energy stones.

After the world was reduced to doomsday, the primary sources of energy in the past, including oil, had lost their dominant position and were replaced by energy stones.

When the train is upgraded to a level 2 train, a new vehicle accessory 'Crafting Table' can be built.

In the crafting table, iron ore can be consumed to create energy stones.

But before that.

There was almost no other way to obtain energy stones, including the train's drive, which also required energy stones as an energy source. When the train was manufactured, it would come with a level 1 energy stone. If he wanted to start this generator, he could only dig out the energy stone from the train head and install it in the generator, but that was obviously impossible.

He looked at the novice tips on the control panel again.

-

"Currently there are 3 carriages, the carriages have no armor."

"It is recommended to build train armor as soon as possible to ensure that the passengers in the carriage are protected to the greatest extent when the train is attacked."

"Energy stone status is 100%."

"Based on the estimated weight of the train at this moment, it can travel at a maximum speed of 100km per hour for up to 100 hours."

"As the weight of the train increases, the maximum speed will decrease, and the energy stone consumption speed will increase."

"Please take in as many survivors as possible to obtain enough resources."

-

These reminders will be displayed directly on the screen when no other buttons are pressed on the control panel.

It's a bit similar to the novice guidance in the game, which guides the novice train captain on what to do now.
