As the red nebula enveloped the train, the star ascension officially began.

In the distant spaceship, Chen An was making the next plan.

"After upgrading to five stars, my train will be invincible at this stage, and it must be done."

"That bastard Kaiden might rebel again at any time. He must not be let off."

"Fuyao, make some war plans for me. I'm too lazy to think."

A few seconds later, hundreds of plans appeared on Chen An's screen, and he looked at them carefully.

When he got tired of watching, he contacted Dale who was on the Silver Hand Star and asked for details about the Star Rising.

Dale replied, "The most important breakthrough in moving from a Sky Ascender to a Star Walker is your breathing method. Previously, you breathed through your mouth and nose, but now you need to use all the cells in your body. Your cells should be fully strengthened. Once you've adapted to your new breathing method, you're almost there."

"The most important breakthrough is a dramatic increase in overall body strength. This improvement will be sudden, manifesting as explosive growth. Once you achieve this, you'll be able to enter and exit the starry sky at will."

Chen An asked: "How do we find this kind of breakthrough point?"

Dale: "There's no pattern. It all depends on individual effort and luck. I once buried myself underground for ten years, relying solely on cellular respiration to survive, and I eventually achieved a breakthrough. I've heard that some people use stacked energy crystals, absorbing them crazily, to achieve a breakthrough. Some even travel around and achieve a breakthrough silently. There are all kinds of methods, and there's no exact standard."

Chen An suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. How long have you been breaking through?"

"Twenty-seven years. What stage are you in now?"

"I'm not sure. I can breathe with all the cells in my body, but I can't stop breathing through my mouth and nose. It always feels awkward."

Dale: "There's no need to give up. They're all important. You have a lot of energy crystals in reserve. I suggest you absorb a large amount of super energy next. A forced breakthrough might lead to success."

Chen An originally had doubts about this method, but since Dale gave him some experience, he was ready to give it a try.

For the whole day after that, Chen An did not go anywhere else. He stayed in his own private spaceship, protected by hundreds of warships.

Twenty-four hours later, the train successfully ascended to the star and the nebula dissipated.

Chen An was in high spirits. He looked at the train through the window and found that it was much bigger than before.

In other words, the trains have gotten fatter, but not longer.

"Fuyao, give me the summary of the information after the star upgrade."

The data on the screen changes rapidly.

【Train】Fuyao

【No.】D1314

[Level] Bronze (5 stars); Level 0.9 (Extraordinary Civilization)

【Master】Chen An

[Load] 50 million people

[Actual load] 11.42 million people

【Defense】Level 5

[Firepower] Level 5

[Power] Level 5

Energy: 58% (remaining)

[Status] 100% (Perfect)

…

The train's overall defense has reached level 5. The body's defense has been further enhanced, significantly reducing external vibrations.

[The train's firepower has been upgraded to level 5. The number of laser cannons on the train has been increased from eight to sixteen, and their strength has been increased by 50%. The strength of the electromagnetic railgun on the roof has also been increased by 50%.]

The train's power has been upgraded to level 5. The speed has increased by 30%, the braking time has been reduced by 30%, and the energy consumption has been reduced by 10%.

The train's energy reserves have doubled, and now more energy is needed to support consumption.

The train's carriages have been expanded, with each now seating 500,000 passengers.

[Train radar upgraded, detection range increased to 8 billion kilometers]

The train carriages will have a second-story structure and a quick access passage will be added on the top.

…

The intensity increased visibly, and Chen An was more interested in the doubling of the passenger capacity.

"It now looks like I'll be able to add nearly 40 million new passengers."

He first took the spaceship back to the train and carefully examined the changes in the internal structure.

The carriage was originally very high, and the top floor was empty.

But now there is a second floor, which is mainly used as storage space for passengers.

"Passengers' personal belongings are a real problem."

Chen An walked in carriage No. 1 and saw that the seats in front, behind, left, right and below were all filled with various supplies.

Passengers do not have separate storage areas and can only place their belongings not far from their seats.

Now, there are corresponding storage spots on the second floor, and everyone can put their things there.

The operation is also very simple. Press the button on the seat to open the gap on the top, then extend the platform and lift the things up by yourself.

"Actually, I don't think it's very useful. Passengers will always try to fill up the space around them to feel safest."

But too much stuff means the carriage is crowded and chaotic, and there is currently no solution to this problem.

Chen An went to the living area, which also had a two-story structure.

Unlike the passenger compartment of a train, the second-floor structure here is not used to store items, but is equivalent to doubling the living area.

"Passengers have long complained that the market is too small and they have to queue up for a long time every time they buy something. Fuyao, add a bigger market on the second floor."

"We can add more activity areas and create a park-like environment, and let Luoyu help with the greening."

"As for the remaining space, we will fill in whatever is lacking."

The space on the first floor is basically used up, and the expanded space on the second floor can relieve the pressure of crowded passengers.

"What's up with the expressway at the top?"

[There is a passage on the second floor of the passenger cabin to leave the train from the top, but there is no spacecraft docking station. It is prepared for star walkers.]

Chen An suddenly realized: "That makes sense. Whether the Star Walkers exit from the car door or the observation deck, it's slower. Going to the top is indeed faster."
