My Doomsday Train

#135 - "Of course, Uncle Li. You really have many skills."

“Huff.”

After a long while, Chen Mang finally exhaled a breath and continued to control the train to drive towards the towering mountain peak that was already clearly visible to the naked eye in front of him.

Not bad.

After holding the wedding for Shan Maozi and obtaining another 500 Inheritance Points, he will see what good things he can buy with 600 Inheritance Points.

Among those four items.

There was only one item that he found quite peculiar.

「C-Rank Difficulty Skip Ticket」.

With this item, you can directly and unconditionally pass the C-Rank difficulty task in any challenging adventure map or task, such as the job transfer task of 「Mechanical Train」, or the maze task of 「Underwater Labyrinth」.

The other items were ordinary.

That Murphy Stone was even more useless to him, to be honest, he felt that choosing the Murphy Stone was not as good as choosing the 「C-Rank Difficulty Skip Ticket」, after all, this morning he chatted with Erdan, the conductor of the Azure Dragon Train.

The other party said that the C-Rank difficulty maze task in the 「Underwater Labyrinth」 adventure map can reward 5 Murphy Stones if successfully completed.

At the same price, buying Murphy Stones would only get you one.

Of course—

Hidden maps like the Underwater Labyrinth are not so easy to find, their locations are generally extremely hidden, and the way to get there is also quite harsh. Erdan is quite generous and directly sent him the coordinates.

Saying that this kind of hidden map is basically only useful for the first time for everyone.

He has already been there once, and it is no longer useful. If he has the ability to make the train dive in the future, he can go and take a look.

This hidden map is in the bottom of a lake in the Shahe Plain.

His Stellar Train does not have the ability to dive for the time being. When he has the ability in the future, he can go and take a look. He is also quite interested in this Underwater Labyrinth.

Half an hour later.

The Stellar Train finally arrived at the foot of this towering mountain. On the Tower of Babel, you could only vaguely see a black shadow of the mountain standing in the clouds, like a light stroke in a ink painting, it was not very conspicuous.

But only when approaching it can you truly see the magnificence of this high mountain!

Extremely slender.

The top is only about a few hundred meters wide, which naturally is not considered thin on flat ground, but compared to the height of this mountain, it appears particularly slender.

He naturally went to the library of 「Shahe City」.

This mountain did not exist before the apocalypse, it appeared after the apocalypse.

“.”

Chen Mang leaned out of the sunroof, looked up and observed for a long time, before returning to the control panel and switching out the spider legs to drive towards the steep hillside. Perhaps only he can come here.

All four sides of the mountain are extremely steep cliffs.

There are no mountain roads at all.

If the Rabbit Wheels are upgraded to the maximum level, the flying height would probably be 3000 meters, unless someone uses Murphy Stones to upgrade the Rabbit Wheels again, otherwise it would be difficult for anyone to reach here.

The moment the mechanical spider legs touched the cliff face, they firmly adhered to it, dragging the entire train upwards quickly as if walking on flat ground.

「Spider Legs」 are just a green accessory.

It's not very eye-catching.

But it has helped him a lot. This kind of mechanical green accessory can exert the greatest effect here. If others want to have his kind of effect, they need to spend 27 Murphy Stones on the 「Spider Legs」 accessory.

Climbing upwards continuously.

He controlled the speed, the climbing speed was not too fast. Twenty minutes later.

The spider legs at the front of the Stellar Train finally landed on flat ground, and the entire train also appeared on the top of the mountain.

The top of the mountain is an extremely vast and flat open space, and in front of it, is... a large mine.

“.”

Chen Mang jumped off the train, looked at the scene in front of him and smiled. He had detected that there was a mine on the top of this mountain when he was at the bottom of the mountain, a full 5 level 2 iron mines.

And they are all mines with rich ore content.

He knew it.

Places with harsh locations like this generally have hidden maps or dense resource mines.

These 5 level 2 iron mines can upgrade all the train's currently un-upgraded accessories.

Generally speaking.

Without using Murphy Stones, the 「Resource Detection Radar」 green accessory can only be upgraded to level 3 at most, which is a detection range of 3000 meters, and people have ways to detect iron ore underground.

For example, by driving a drill to a depth of 3000 meters underground, you can detect iron ore 6000 meters underground, but the efficiency is lower, and the driving speed underground is slower.

Including the canyon in the Abyss of the Apocalypse, it was once detected to have ore.

The Abyss of the Apocalypse is 6000 meters deep, and the Resource Detection Radar cannot detect it at all. It is said that two trains cooperated to find many steel cables in a steel cable factory in Taiping City, and tied a train head to another fully loaded train, and then slowly lowered it.

The train head that was lowered detected that there was ore at the bottom of the Abyss of the Apocalypse.

But that's all that can be done.

It is definitely impossible to go down. After all, a 6000-meter canyon sounds like nothing, but if you look at the extent of human exploration of the depths of the earth in history, you basically know how difficult it is to go to that 6000-meter deep canyon.

Now that the mine has been found.

It's getting late, rest tonight, and mine tomorrow morning.

However, the next second—

“Whirr.”

The doors of the carriages behind were suddenly opened, and a group of train residents rushed down excitedly carrying pickaxes, rushed directly to the mining area, spat twice into their hands, and started mining with their pickaxes.

“.”

Chen Mang, standing below the train, looked at this scene, was silent for a while, and then sighed lightly: “At this rate, Doba should soon stop saying that goblins are the most diligent race.”

Then he shook his head and walked towards his train room.

Let them mine.

Anyway, the living facilities in the train are basically maxed out. The level 10 supermodel effects of bread slices and mineral water both increase physical fitness slightly when taken for a long time. The level 5 supermodel effect of bread slices can also supplement vitamins, and the level 5 effect of mineral water is to remove kidney stones. There is also cola that can replenish physical strength.

With the perfection of so many living facilities, at least the situation of the train residents being exhausted to death will not occur.

How does that sentence say, soldiers and horses have not moved, food and grass go first, the Stellar Train's food and grass are currently maxed out.

Except

Except that it's always these things every day, and it's easy to get tired of eating them.

Chen Mang, sitting in the train room, looked at the four meat sandwiches Xiaofang brought up, waved his hand to signal Xiaofang to find the chef who claimed to be a five-star hotel chef last time, and use the remaining vegetables and the four cured ribs from the last harvest to cook him something special.

“The train has basic pots, pans, and utensils. Ask him what else he needs.”

If he's missing something like a spatula, he can create it with the Mechanical Heart, only needing to expend a bit of iron ore. But if it's things like seasonings, salt, or peppercorn powder, the Mechanical Heart can't make those.

Although the Mechanical Heart hasn't given a clear manufacturing range, it's basically limited to electronic products or household items made of iron, like pots and pans. It can't create food or tobacco.

If it could even make seasonings...

Then it wouldn't be the Mechanical Heart; it should be renamed 'Words Become Law'.

“I asked. He said he's missing everything except pots and pans. He doesn't have many side dishes or seasonings, so the taste probably won't be very good.”

“Then forget it.”

Chen Mang sighed softly: “Let's not waste those few preserved pork ribs. We'll figure it out later.”

“I built another carriage. Have Old Zhu arrange for people to handle the livestock and food seeds we found in Shahe City last time.”

“Roger that.”

The Hengxing train has a total of 14 carriages, with the 14th being the missile carriage.

Now there's one more carriage.

The latest novels are first published on 69shu吧!

The 15th carriage: the 'Breeding Carriage'.

“Are you sure you can handle this?”

Old Zhu frowned slightly, looking at Uncle Li standing to the side: “Weren't you a senior executive before? Making millions a year, proficient in accounting and management, and even started your own business? Do you know how to raise these animals?”

“There are six chickens, five ducks, four pigs, two cows, and three sheep here.”

“The care instructions for each animal are different. What was your major in college?”

“No problem.”

Uncle Li, with a serious expression, stood up straight and said earnestly: “I studied civil engineering in college. Before that, I came from the countryside. My family raised pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, and ducks. I've raised them all.”

“When I was a kid, I smelled like pig manure every day on my way to school.”

“Leave the feeding of these animals to me. There won't be any problems.”

“You can give me all those seeds too. My family used to farm and had an orchard. I've been helping my family since I was a kid. I know how to do all of this.”

“That's impressive.”

A hint of surprise flashed in Old Zhu's eyes: “Not bad, Uncle Li. It's good to have many skills.”

“Okay, I'll leave this to you.”

“See the sprayers in the corners of this carriage? Those are train accessories, 'Breeding Sprayers'. Mangye installed a manual button for you at the entrance of the carriage. Just press the button, and the animals inside will enter heat. Press it again, and they'll return to normal.”

“Don't worry, Train Chief Zhu, I've got this.”

Breeding Carriage No. 15.

Uncle Li looked at the twenty-odd various livestock in this simple carriage and the two refrigerators covered in soil. He breathed a long sigh of relief, the anxiety in his eyes completely disappearing, replaced by a relaxed exhale.

Then, he leaned against the carriage, lowered his head to light a cigarette, and casually said, trying to hide a hint of smugness.

“It's alright, just a small job.”

“Just managing one carriage for now. Gain some experience and move up later.”

“Awesome, Uncle Li!”

The young man standing next to him excitedly gave a thumbs up: “Mangye only implemented the iris chip this afternoon, causing you to be laid off. It's only just gotten dark, and you're back on the job so quickly?”

“I knew you could do it.”

“And Uncle Li, you know too much. You were making millions a year, yet you still know how to raise pigs. Your skills are too diverse.”

“Know?”

Uncle Li sighed deeply before throwing the cigarette butt on the ground: “What do I know? Which rural family farms, has an orchard, and raises chickens, ducks, cows, sheep, and pigs? That would be a landlord, right?”

“If they didn't have a few slaves, how would they dare do that? The old folks at home would be worked to death sooner or later.”

“When I was a kid, my family only raised a few chickens and a dog.”

“Ah?” The smile on the young man's face, which was full of excitement just now, slowly froze: “Uncle Li, you don't know anything, yet you dared to take over? If you mess it up, won't you lose your head?”

“Don't worry, if I lose my head, you definitely won't be able to keep yours either.”

Uncle Li took a deep breath before putting his arm around the young man's shoulder: “Take out our Hengxing coupons, pool them together, and buy a few packs of cigarettes. I'll take you to meet two people. When I was a slave, I chatted with them. One's family farms, and the other's raises livestock.”

“We'll try to get some information out of them, and basically, we'll know what to do.”

“This position…”

“Has a lot of room for error. It's just about learning some experience. As long as you don't let them die, there shouldn't be any major problems. Let's get into this position first, and we can learn slowly if we don't understand.”

“…”

The young man remained silent with a blank expression for a long time before saying hoarsely: “Uncle Li, can you tell me how you went from studying civil engineering to becoming an accountant?”

“Oh, you're talking about that.”

“When I graduated and went to a construction site as a safety intern, the building collapsed. I spent a few years inside. I met a lot of accounting bigwigs in there, studied for a while, got an accounting certificate after I came out, and then those people were willing to give me a hand, so I slowly got into this circle.”

“Uncle Li, you've had it rough.”

“Well, it's alright. I'm just barely making a living.”

“Is that true?”

“Yes, it's true.”

“I just feel like there's nothing truthful coming out of your mouth now.”

“Trust me.”

“But Uncle Li, I know why I could only earn a few thousand dollars before the apocalypse.”

“Why?”

“Because if it were me, in a situation where I didn't know anything, I definitely wouldn't ask Train Chief Zhu to sit in this position. Even if no one found out temporarily, I would be very flustered inside, and I wouldn't be able to get past that mental hurdle.”

“The bold are stuffed to death, and the timid starve. Do you think Train Chief Zhu is sitting in his position because he's really that proficient in management?”

Uncle Li curled his lips.

“I think if I were the vice train chief, I could definitely do better.”

“Given time, I could sit there too.”

“But…”

Uncle Li looked outside and whispered: “This carriage is newly built and doesn't have cameras installed yet. It's okay for us to chat here, but don't talk nonsense when we go outside.”

“Let's take it one step at a time, starting with this breeding carriage. If there are any other important positions open in the future, I'll apply to Train Chief Zhu.”

“Mm-hmm.”

The young man nodded seriously.

“Uncle Li, I believe in you.”
