System: My Doomsday Train Chapter 998 376: The First Decisive Battle!
Previously on System: My Doomsday Train...
The train currently contains 7475.56 units of iron ore.
Sufficient resources exist to max out nearly all components.
Maybe...
Further development isn't necessary.
Human Civilization is now primed to officially enter the fray, beginning by purging their own kind, the Human Race. Throughout the universe, only a single civilization can claim the name "Human Civilization." His adversaries believe this principle, and he shares the same conviction.
"..."
Chen Mang's eyes narrowed faintly as he accessed the Constant Star Train's 3D blueprint, rapidly fortifying the leftover parts in preparation for an all-out clash.
...
Starting with the seven-color level component "SPY-7 Doppler Tail Spray"!
By expending 1100.5 units of iron ore, it leaped from level 1000 directly to level 10000, reaching maximum level and unlocking multiple supermodel effects instantly.
-
"SPY-7 Doppler Tail Spray Level 2000 Supermodel Effect": Speed surge.
"SPY-7 Doppler Tail Spray Level 5000 Supermodel Effect": Speed surge.
"SPY-7 Doppler Tail Spray Level 10000 Supermodel Effect": Speed surge.
-
Three consecutive supermodel effects that match exactly.
Nothing extraordinary.
However—
It suffices!
At level 1000, this part granted the train nearly one-third light speed, with velocity rising per level, and the supermodel effect delivering a massive speed boost.
Now at full level.
The result? The train achieves 10 times light speed!
In plain terms, the Constant Star Train covers 10 light years in a single year at peak speed—seemingly modest in description, yet 10 light years remains trivial amid cosmic vastness.
Remember, the Energy Cannon reigns as the universe's swiftest weapon, holding steady at light speed to dodge hits effortlessly. But at 10 times light speed, virtually no armament can touch them.
Impressive indeed.
For the Constant Star Train, though, strikes mean little anyway.
Press on with upgrades!
Likewise, 1100.5 units of iron ore were spent to elevate the "SPY-7 Doppler Radar Shield" from level 1000 to level 10000.
No supermodel effects were gained this time.
Prior supermodel effects for this part were absent as well.
Boosted by Civilization Wonders, its effective level hits 10001, rendering detection impossible for anyone—save for exposed resources.
The Constant Star Train transforms into an ethereal specter across the stars.
Key components stand fully upgraded.
Now for auxiliary parts inside the train.
Such as...
Yellow-level component "Gate of Space"!
Extremely vital inside the train, it lags at merely level 500, clashing awkwardly against the many maxed-out train components.
Time to upgrade!
153 units of iron ore later, a level 10000 "Gate of Space" became his.
As a standalone item, every Gate of Space requires separate upgrading.
Plus, fresh supermodel effects emerged.
-
"Gate of Space Level 1000 Supermodel Effect": The volume of the Gate of Space increases significantly, allowing it to simultaneously accommodate 10 planets with a diameter not exceeding 100,000 kilometers and one Fixed Star, forming a planetary group inside.
"Gate of Space Level 2000 Supermodel Effect": The volume of the Gate of Space increases again, accommodating planets with a diameter of up to 1,000,000 kilometers and three Fixed Stars.
"Gate of Space Level 5000 Supermodel Effect": Resources will be born on planets within the Gate of Space.
"Gate of Space Level 10000 Supermodel Effect": Living beings who die inside the Gate of Space have the chance to be resurrected and imprisoned on a planet, never able to leave it.
-
At the same time—
A new alert popped up on the train's control panel display.
-
"Human Civilization becomes the first in the universe to obtain a full-level 'Gate of Space' component, and this component automatically upgrades to 'Holy Hall' level."
"Thus obtaining the Civilization Wonder 'New Cosmos'."
-
"Gate of Space 'Holy Hall' Supermodel Effect": The internal space will be infinitely large, capable of accommodating countless planets.
-
"Good."
A faint smile tugged at Chen Mang's lips. One full-level Gate of Space was plenty for now. This maxed Gate of Space alleviates numerous concerns.
The Fixed Stars gathered previously from the Kasha Civilization ruins fall short once more.
He had amassed a substantial number before.
Yet firing that level 5000 Akanon Light Energy Main Cannon drained nearly all, leaving them nearly extinguished on the display.
More Fixed Stars are essential.
Luckily, for any life-bearing planet, its neighboring Fixed Star acts as the vital origin of life, immensely valuable, yet throughout the cosmos, Fixed Stars exist like endless grains of sand on a shore, innumerable and ever-plentiful, never depleting.
Moreover—
He had figured those basic components must already be fully upgraded. Shockingly, this one—requiring merely 153 units of iron ore to max out—remained unupgraded by anybody.
In contrast, the seven-color tier parts 'Radar Shield' and 'Doppler Tail Spray' were both maxed out by various civilizations, denying him the Holy Hall supermodel bonus.
'Set sail!'
Chen Mang maneuvered the train, darting swiftly into a fresh Wormhole nearby, escaping the flattened two-dimensional zone, back to the Rough Civilization's abandoned domain.
Next!
The train surged rapidly through star systems, devouring like a ravenous serpent all habitable planets and Fixed Stars into the Constant Star Train in its path!
Chen Mang spent another 306 iron ore units to forge two additional 'Level 10000' Gates of Space, which, at full level, also carried the Holy Hall supermodel effect.
His trio of Gates of Space.
One solely for hoarding Fixed Stars as power stockpiles.
Another focused on gathering habitable planets to build his civilization's ecosystem within the train.
The last one holds diverse mineral worlds as resource stockpiles.
This represents a massive undertaking.
Before long—
Ai delivered precise figures.
'Rough Civilization controls 37 star systems total. At our present pace, it'll take about 879 years to haul all Fixed Stars and prime planets from the first system into the train.'
'Extracting every high-value planet across all 37 star systems would demand roughly 37,920 years.'
'Train Captain, no need to fret excessively.'
'Human Civilization's current power ensures your lifespan stretches effortlessly to tens of thousands of years. Waiting is no issue.'
'...'
Chen Mang stared quietly at the stats, realizing he'd misjudged the scale. A lone star system holds almost a trillion Fixed Stars.
Though he could spawn countless Wormholes and use the train's blistering speed to raid a system's top planets swiftly.
But...
The required time remains staggeringly huge.
He can't linger here for ages.
A faster approach is essential.
He sparked a cigarette, pondering in silence, eyes narrowing slightly, ideas sparking—perhaps enlist Xiaolv's mother?
She's a master at obliterating star systems.
Gulp all planets into a replica first, then scoop them into the Gate of Space?
No...
Still too inefficient.
Not rapid enough.
Hold on—
Maybe...
A long-forgotten component came to mind.
'Powerful Magnet'!
