My Doomsday Train.

Chapter 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 mineral information on the note, thinking without saying anything. The first thing to build now must be the carriage. At least two carriages need to be built first, one for slaves and one for storing these minerals, food and other tools.

It is also necessary to build a production line for the "Tamron Assault Rifle" first.

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

After pressing this button.

Several lines of text suddenly appeared on the screen.
-
"To build a standard carriage, 100 units of iron ore are required."

"To build a locomotive, you need 1000 units of iron ore."
-
This belongs to train construction, not "vehicle accessories". By building an extra locomotive, you can install a locomotive at the end of the train, so that the train does not need to turn when turning, and can directly use the other locomotive as the power source, which can effectively increase the flexibility of the train.

He tapped twice on the first option on the screen.

next moment--

He felt a slight tremor inside the train cabin. He walked out and saw that the locomotive, which had been sitting alone in the wilderness, suddenly had countless white rays of light emanating from the hook at the end of the locomotive, and these lines were woven into two carriages.

As the light of the lines gradually faded, the two carriages were officially formed.

It has been integrated with the locomotive.

Looking again, his train had taken shape.

of course.

These two carriages were bare, with nothing in them but iron sheets, but this was enough. How much better treatment could the slave carriages expect? These days, it was already a lucky thing for the survivors to have a train to rely on.

"Good."

Chen Mang stood in front of the train with a satisfied look on his face, looking at his train. He felt a sense of pride rising in his heart, and a sense of integration into this world. Perhaps one day, he could really build a doomsday train that roared like a long dragon across the wasteland!

200 units of iron ore were consumed.

He walked to the second carriage and took out his own 'Tamron Assault Rifle' production line blueprint*1 from his pocket. It was a light blue, translucent paper that felt like plastic and looked a bit fragile. Of course, he was not so stupid as to test whether the blueprint was sturdy.

With the blueprint, you can create some special vehicle accessories.

A train can be built with more than just the accessories displayed on the control panel, but those accessories do not require any blueprints, while some other more special vehicle accessories require blueprints to be built.

The grade of this production line accessories is green.

Crafting requires 500 units of iron ore.

After consuming 500 units of iron ore, the blueprint suddenly shattered and turned into green light spots, forming several green rays of light in the carriage. These rays of light finally slowly woven together to form a production line about six meters long.

The overall shape looks like the security equipment at a subway station.

Every 50 units of iron ore consumed can produce a "Tamron Assault Rifle", which is very similar in shape to the AK47 and requires a bullet caliber of 5.56 mm.

It is a bit regrettable that he currently does not have bullets of this caliber, nor does he have a production line that can produce bullets of this caliber.

But fortunately
Each production of this rifle will automatically come with three fully loaded magazines, and the gun has a bullet capacity of 30 rounds.

It’s enough for now.

I'll see if I can find a way to get a production line of this caliber in the future.

It takes 5 minutes to make a Tamron Assault Rifle. He made 12 at a time and paid another 600 units of iron ore.

It is worth mentioning that.

The iron ore consumed to build anything on the train will be automatically consumed as long as the iron ore is on the train, so there's no need to hold the iron ore in your hands. Chen Mang then exited carriage No. 2 and stood in the wasteland, hesitating for a moment before spending another 100 units of iron ore to build another ordinary carriage.

There's not enough space for things.

His production lines, iron ore, etc. need to occupy a separate carriage, and the remaining daily necessities such as bread, mineral water, etc. need to occupy another carriage.

Now there are three carriages.

Carriage No. 2 is tentatively designated as the warehouse car, which stores some production lines, ores and other things. Carriage No. 3 is tentatively designated as the living car, and Carriage No. 4 is the slave car.

that's it--

He currently only has 100 units of iron ore, and has almost returned to the pre-liberation era overnight.

Iron ore is needed for everything, and there is not enough iron ore!
As for the seven necessary parts for upgrading the train, he hadn't forged any of them and had no extra iron ore at all. The train didn't even have an electrical system, and there weren't even dim lights in the carriages, not even as bright as the one on the previous train.

Once the door of the slave car was closed, it was completely dark.

but
Both the "Circuit System" and the "Generator" consume copper ore.

After thinking 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 consumed 110 units of copper ore to make these two things.

He placed the generator in warehouse carriage No. 2.

The size is quite large.

It occupies nearly one-seventh of the area of ​​this carriage.

just
"."

Chen Mang stood in carriage No. 2, looking at the generator in front of him with an expressionless face.

"A power stone is required to activate the generator."

"Based on the current power consumption of the train, one Level 1 Energy Stone can probably provide continuous power for over 300 days."

Energy stone?
What a strange name.

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

After the world fell into doomsday, the main energy suppliers in the past, including oil, lost their dominant position and were replaced by energy stones.

When the train is upgraded to a Level 2 train, a new vehicle accessory, the "Crafting Table", can be crafted.

In the crafting station, you can consume iron ore to create energy stones.

But before that.
There is almost no other way to obtain energy stones. The drive of the train also requires energy stones as a source of energy. When the train is manufactured, it will come with a level 1 energy stone. If he wants to start the generator, he can only dig out the energy stone in the locomotive head and install it in the generator, but this is obviously impossible.

He looked at the novice instructions on the console again.
-
"There are currently three carriages, and they are unarmored."

"It is recommended that the train be armored as soon as possible to ensure that the train can protect the passengers to the greatest extent possible when attacked."

"Energy Stone status is 100%."

"Based on the current train's estimated weight, it can travel for up to 100 hours at a maximum speed of 100 kilometers per hour."

"As the train's weight increases, its maximum speed will decrease and the energy stone consumption rate will increase."

"Please take in as many survivors as possible to obtain sufficient resources."
-
These reminders will be displayed directly on the screen without pressing any other buttons on the console.

It is a bit like the novice guide in the game, which will guide the novice train conductor on what to do at the moment.
