Chapter 356 Mechanical Army

Outside Shinji Mochizuki's private residence, rows of mechanical maids continuously presented all kinds of exquisitely prepared food to and fro, while inside the hall, the atmosphere was quiet at this time.

Everyone looked at Lin Xian in surprise. Even Chen Sixuan was puzzled. KIKI, who was standing beside him, frowned and looked at him. After a while, she said

"Oh my God, Lin Xian, you actually came up with this idea. That's great. You are getting bolder and bolder. Hehe, I'll be the first to agree with you!" KIKI raised her hand high, with an excited look of support on her face.

The others looked strange. Qian Suxun on the opposite side looked at Lin Xian.

"Lin, do you mean that you want to fight for the Nantianmen or Wangyue planetary ring?"

"Oh, don't get me wrong."

Lin Xian smiled slowly. Everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief when they heard this, but he just took a bite of the food and said, "But it sounds worth a try, doesn't it?"

Others: …

"So are you going to compete with Dawn City and Phoenix Society?" Qian Dele looked surprised.

Lin Xian shook his head and said with a smile: "Actually, I am just very curious about the giant sky curtain. What kind of thing is it that can cover the entire world? Also, are Dawn City and the Phoenix Society sure that the South Heaven Gate and the Moon-Watching Planetary Ring still exist?"

Shinji Mochizuki narrowed his eyes and smiled, sweeping his eyes over everyone with his sleeves rolled up: "So this is why Silent City is only going to complete the transformation and upgrade of the starship system and not make other meaningless guesses."

Monica glanced at Shinji Mochizuki indifferently. Everyone heard that compared with Aurora City and the Order of the Phoenix, Silent City was more like an independent hunting organization. Although Shinji Mochizuki maintained cooperation with the Order of the Phoenix, for him, improving his own strength was the main goal. So for him, he was considering how Silent City could survive in the worst case scenario where the whole world was destroyed.

"So, Silent City only goes to Yongcheng Port, and will not go north to meet up with Dawn Center, nor does it plan to go to the Polar Regions?" asked Shi Diyuan.

Shinji Mochizuki nodded slowly and said

"That's right. So if you are planning to go to the Dawn Center, you can transfer at Jinhai to minimize unnecessary trouble. Another point is that your train..."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lin Xian and said, "Although you have completed a beautiful train leap through the superconducting magnetic levitation array, this overload maneuver will definitely cause great structural damage to the train. Lin, if you don't consider joining the Silent City, you will definitely need to upgrade the train or replace the vehicle. Also, if this happens, you will be more worried about the track, right?"

Lin Xian nodded when he heard that. Shinji Mochizuki was right. Although the maglev leap was successful, the damage caused to the train was not small. Most of the damage came from the vehicle structure, the drive chassis, and metal fatigue caused by the deformation of the vehicle body. Even if Lin Xian could repair some surface damage, the Infinity was made up of various types of freight and passenger cars after all. Except for the No. 3/4 scientific research cars, the other cars were not brand new. After experiencing a series of heavy blows and two large-scale space transfers, the hidden dangers have become more and more.

Even the Infinity was in this situation, not to mention the other cars in the joint fleet. The car body was cracked, deformed, the track wheels were torn and fell off, the main structure was twisted, etc. Optimistically speaking, fortunately, the whole car came out. It was not torn apart when entering the maglev channel, and it did not fall from the sky during the space transfer. Most people survived, but the situation of the train was hard to describe. If it had not been for the alliance with the Silent City, even if they completed the space transfer, they would still be trapped in the deep mountains and old forests of Luling Forest, with no way out.

Another point is about the hidden danger of the track. Lin Xian feels that the time has come to solve it. Otherwise, the more people in his team, the greater the difficulties will be. Before, when there were few people and there were only a few carriages, KIKI could still use his telekinesis to lift them, but now it is impossible.

Hearing this, both Shi Diyuan and Ning Jing looked a little solemn. This was also a tricky problem for Longshan No. 1. On the contrary, Qian Dele and Monica were not too nervous.

Monica's train has all-terrain capabilities and is an integral structure. It performed the best during this magnetic levitation flight, and even the armor did not fall off. It seems that there is a reason for its high price. Qian Dele has no such worries at all. For him, trains and cars are fine. He now enjoys the comfortable feeling of not having to drive himself. Therefore, he is the only one here who is most interested in joining the Silent City. However, after hearing about the next arrangements of the Silent City, he seemed to give up the idea immediately.

"Yeah, I was thinking about how to make the train fly, but there is a giant sky curtain in the sky, so it should be safe on the ground. Then do I only have one option left?" Lin Xian said.

In addition to the main city and City No. 2, Silent City also has four small circular floating cities. In addition to being used for living, they also serve as the main city's launch engines and strategic extension platforms.

Before, Mochizuki Shinji was going to give one to Lin Xian, but now Lin Xian thinks that this thing is meaningless. Even the Silent City dare not take off easily. Other aircraft are not as stable on the ground as flying in the sky. After all, they can still run on the ground, but they can only crash in the sky.

"All-terrain?" Qian Suxun looked at him with a smile: "We can transform it for you. This is not difficult for Silent City."

"No."

Lin Xian looked at Sensu Shun and Mochizuki Shinji and said seriously, "Do you think it is possible that this train can travel and stop on the planetary orbit when it is safe, fly over the terrain to avoid danger when it encounters danger, and can go off-road at high altitudes like an all-terrain base vehicle. If the track breaks in the oceanic orbit section, it can sail on the water surface. If it encounters a storm or tsunami, it can dive into the deep sea and move with the ocean current. Finally, if the sky curtain can be broken, it can rush into the sky, cross the Karman line, keep up with the interstellar fleet, and reach the planetary ring of Mochizuki?"

quiet.

As soon as Lin Xian finished speaking, the room suddenly became quiet. Everyone, including Qian Suxun, looked at Lin Xian in shock. Even Monica looked at him with a curious expression, as if she found this man really hard to figure out.

Roads, railways, off-roading, sailing, diving, aviation...it sounds more complicated than Silent City. Is this some kind of transforming spaceship?

"Brother Lin..." Shi Diyuan looked at him in surprise: "Is this thing you are talking about a train?"

"I didn't say I wanted to build a train." Lin Xian replied calmly, "The world is like this now, so there must be many aspects to consider when it comes to vehicles."

Chen Sixuan turned her head and looked at him with wide eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Are you still planning to dive?"

Lin Xian also responded in a low voice: "The fastest way to get to South America is definitely to take the ocean track. If we encounter danger, we will definitely have to go into the water in addition to going up to the sky."

"It's easy to go up to the sky, but it's a bit more troublesome to go into the water." KIKI also said at this time: "Even the starship can't go into the water. It sounds very difficult."

Lin Xian looked at Mochizuki Shinji with a smile, with an expectant expression.

The person in front of him is the world's top mechanical genius, and now he has a quantum brain. Even if the current scale of Silent City cannot reach the Interstellar Army and Xinghua Heavy Industry Group, in terms of creativity, Lin Xian knows that he will not ask the wrong person, so he throws out his ideas without hesitation, wanting to see the other party's reaction.

Unexpectedly, when Mochizuki Shinji heard Lin Xian's words, he still looked at him calmly, with a smile slowly rising at the corner of his mouth. He looked at Lin Xian, as if he was examining him, or as if he was recalling something.

At this time, the old man who was fishing outside the window suddenly spoke in a hoarse voice:

“What an interesting idea~”

"It's really interesting." Mochizuki Shinji said to the old man.

After that, he turned to Lin Xian and said, "This was his childhood dream, an omnipotent spaceship, although from a commercial perspective, developing such a vehicle is meaningless."

"But he...still built the Silent City, didn't he?"

Lin Xian also looked at the old man's back outside the window and said with a smile: "A mobile city on land, sea and air. You never thought that such a large track would be useful. You can be willful if you have money."

"Technology and materials are constantly improving." Shinji Mochizuki stood up and said, "For example, interstellar-class armor can already do this. It can float in the air, dive into the sea, maneuver on all terrains, and has powerful firepower. It is just limited by its size. The larger the size, the harder it is to be comprehensive. The Phoenix Society's super-large mecha project is also limited by this. Otherwise, it would not be a mecha of more than 100 meters, but a mecha of 1,000 meters."

"That way we can actually fight against S-level monsters head-on." Lin Xian said.

"Silent City does not have the ability to manufacture medium-sized or larger starships. If you want trains, we can only help you convert them into all-terrain drives. However..."

"Forest."

Shinji Mochizuki looked at Lin Xian and suddenly said with a serious smile: "Jinhai has the world's largest rail train production line. I know there is something there that you may be very interested in."

"What?"

"That's a train that Shuguang City and Linglong Group are building... well, it has a 5,000-megawatt Star Drive nuclear power center, a floating engine and a space thruster, and an adsorption-type superconducting electromagnetic track wheel. It's quite interesting..."

"5000 megawatts? This thing is called a train?" Lin Xian was also surprised when he heard the name of Linglong Group. Lin Xian and Chen Sixuan both looked at KIKI.

Before in Yijin City, the woman named Tang Yun also mentioned that Jinhai was building an Eternal-class train, but what kind of Eternal-class train could use a 5,000-megawatt hub?

"Dawn City is planning to build a starship and run away, why build this thing?" Qian Dele on the other side couldn't help but ask.

"The purpose is the same as that of the Phoenix Society." Qian Suxun on the opposite side smiled and said, "The Star Port of Shuguang City is also not capable of building large starships, so it can only dock. The Xinghua Heavy Industry's starship base Yongcheng Port is occupied by the Phoenix Society, so they can only build medium-sized starships through Jinhai's construction base. However... the number of people that a starship can carry is limited after all."

"So they're planning to build a flying train?" Shi Diyuan frowned. "Are these people mentally ill?"

"They are very smart." Monica responded to Steve's words with clear eyes and an analytical tone.

"Let's not talk about whether they can break through the Sky Curtain. First of all, the starships they built can only carry less than 5% of the people. The heavy industrial clusters are all in the hands of the Phoenix Order. If Dawn City wants to prevent the 90% of people from causing trouble, it must have a 'concept' plan to stabilize those people at the bottom. I guess, even if this thing is built, the ticket price is not something they can afford."

"As expected of you, Miss Monica, the most powerful eldest daughter of the Cardea family, it seems that you have a deep understanding of federal politics?" Mochizuki Shinji said.

Monica raised her eyes slightly: "I'm just used to thinking with their disgusting inertial thinking."

Mochizuki Shinji smiled and said, "That's right."

"That project is called the Interstellar Ark Train, and it is positioned as the "Sky Dome Class" by Dawn City. It is a giant structure and is said to be designed to accommodate more than 1 million people. But in fact, the purpose of building this thing should be to serve as a material transport ship for Dawn City, and also as the "fourth backup plan" of Dawn City after the city wall, dungeon, and starship."

"That's a very thorough consideration." Lin Xian crossed his arms and nodded, "Once Dawn City and the Underground City are occupied, can we use this train to break out of the darkness and buy time for a last-ditch gamble like the Phoenix Society?"

"Shinji and I both think so." Senju Shun said at this time: "But according to our information, the construction progress of this thing is less than 15%. Miss Monica is right. At present, the 'conceptual' and political significance of this construction plan should be greater than its practical significance."

"Then they should want a mobile floating city like Silent City, right?" Chen Sixuan said.

"Well..." Qian Suxun took a sip of tea meaningfully and said, "We don't want to clash with Dawn City, but Dawn City has been keeping an eye on Yongcheng Port. The Phoenix Society's stationed forces will gradually withdraw, so if we go there, we will inevitably have to deal with people from the Dawn City Phoenix Society at the same time."

"Forest."

Shinji Mochizuki said to Lin Xian at this time: "When we get to Jinhai, maybe I can use this thing to transform it into something you want and give it to you as a little surprise. How about it?"

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

"Didn't you just say that you didn't want to have a conflict with Aurora City?" KIKI held his chin with his hand, and glanced at Sensu Shun and Mochizuki Shinji: "If you want to take this away, isn't it the same as going to war with Aurora City?"

Shinji Mochizuki narrowed his eyes and smiled: "You don't have to rob to get this. In fact, the most important thing is that I need a construction platform. Silent City is still too small. Lin must want more than this scale. In addition, I am not afraid of a conflict with Dawn City. To be honest, they just caused us a big trouble..."

As he spoke, the nano pupils in Mochizuki Shinji's eyes slowly gathered, and an imperceptible sharpness burst out along with the smile, and disappeared in an instant.

At 4:20 in the morning, the night wind was blowing. After a simple dinner, the group left the Japanese-style hall and came to the deck outside, but Lin Xian was kept by Mochizuki Shinji.

When the few people walked outside, their expressions were somewhat complicated. From Shinji Mochizuki's words, it seemed that Dawn City and the Crimson World had a close connection, and Jinhai was the Xingyuan outpost and heavy industrial base belonging to Dawn City. It might not be easy to pass through here safely.

Shi Diyuan and Ning Jing were also discussing at this time: "Silent City is going to dock at Yongcheng Port. Do you think we should upgrade the all-terrain drive and then go north from Jinhai?"

"What a pity! I was thinking of just leaning on this big tree, but it turns out they don't plan to leave." Qian Dele sighed as he listened to Shi Diyuan's discussion.

"What's the big deal? Their goal is to fly into space. If you really want to, you can just stay in this city and wait for them instead of traveling all the way." Monica said

Qian Dele clicked his tongue and frowned, "Then I'd rather see the sun for a few more months..."

"Captain Chen, what do you think?" Ning Jing looked at Chen Sixuan and the others.

Chen Sixuan said directly: "We don't want to enter Dawn City either. After all, we had conflicts with the Federation before. However, Lin Xian's top priority is to solve the problem of vehicles, so it depends on when this aspect can be resolved."

"Oh, actually, now we can only follow Silent City. It will take a long time to repair everyone's cars. After fighting for so long, we should at least have a good rest for two nights." KIKI said.

Ning Jing nodded when she heard this: "That's right."

After that, he said to the others, "Let's go back and deal with the convoy's affairs first. If there's any situation, use the communicator to contact us."

"Okay." Qian Dele stretched and said, "I still want to go to that mechanical city for a walk. It's been a long time since I've been with zombies. Days like this don't come often."

Monica nodded, gestured to a few people with a faint look, then looked in the direction of the tower and turned and left.

In the Japanese-style hall, only Mochizuki Shinji and Lin Xian were left.

At this time, a female robot came forward with two items on the tray in her hand. One was the consciousness memory of digital life, and the other was a photon storage device emitting blue light.

"What is this?" Lin Xian looked at the two things and asked in confusion.

"Don't get me wrong. This consciousness memory is empty. It is the memory with the largest storage capacity that can be manufactured in the current world. It can be used as long as the consciousness is uploaded through the brain-computer device. You were able to manufacture the brain-computer device of the Crimson World before, so this should not be difficult for you. In addition, this should be something that you will be very interested in."

"What?"

Mochizuki Shinji signaled with his eyes, so Lin Xian reached out and took it, then put it on the wooden table.

Suddenly, the desktop sensor emitted a circle of light and locked the storage device. Then a holographic screen appeared in the air. Lin Xian took a look and found that it was filled with blueprints of various drones!

"Thunder Prison" ultra-high voltage magnetic storm drone, releasing ultra-high voltage arc pulses.

"Destroyer" self-destructs swarm drones.

"Ice Blast 166" comes with a liquid helium mist ejector, which triggers high-frequency vibration after freezing, making the target brittle and shattered.

"Iron Rain" is an ultra-high-speed kinetic strike drone that carries tungsten alloy kinetic bullets for short-range pulse acceleration, with an instantaneous speed of up to Mach 6.

The "Iron Curtain" microwave plasma shield robot also has heavy armor for bulletproof...

In addition to these attack drones, there are also a large number of engineering drones.

"Worker Ant-7" nano 3D printing construction robot, self-melting liquid alloy, 24-hour non-stop construction.

"Steel Pulse" pipeline/circuit laying robot, equipped with a plasma cutter, autonomously plans energy networks.

"Scavenger 006" is a cleaning robot that is responsible for road cleaning and garbage disposal, and can also crush and convert organic waste.

"Hive Guardians" are responsible for monitoring building structures...

"Silver Shuttle-α" transport robot, automatic loading and unloading of magnetic levitation containers...

Sentinel 03A radar + infrared perspective...

Blueprints of various drones with countless functional systems appeared in front of Lin Xian. There were even robots for medical treatment, planting, education, and providing psychological services. They were all the same type of robots that Lin Xian had seen operating smoothly in the West Mountain Bunker in Baicheng before. It was with the help of these huge swarms of drones that Shinji Mochizuki quickly opened up an underground fortress, and at the same time managed and maintained the operation of the entire Silent City and the safe lives of 100,000 people!

Seeing Lin Xian's surprised look, Mochizuki Shinji said seriously

"As a mechanical mutant, I have done a lot of deductions on your abilities and finally concluded that although I don't know the upper limit of your ability growth, what you need most should be a large group of drones and an AI intelligent brain network to coordinate and dispatch, so that you can exert your greatest ability. When you entered the West Mountain Bunker, I found that you were observing all the drones, so I judged that this would be what you want."

"It's not a good feeling to be guessed at, but you are an exception. You are not a human."

Lin Xian looked at the dazzling blueprint in front of him and said in a deep voice that he had actually come here with the purpose of asking for the blueprint from the beginning, but he did not expect that Mochizuki Shinji knew his intention better than him and had prepared it for him in advance.

Shinji Mochizuki just smiled at him and said, "You already have an AI, so now you can create one of your own according to your needs..."

"The mechanical army!"
