Chapter 323 Train Modification and Upgrade
Buzz buzz buzz.
In the basement of the Black Rose Bar, Lin Xian could clearly hear a low humming sound of electricity, which seemed to be caused by the strange bullet that Hu Lushou took out.
"Forbidden items? How do you know?"
Lin Xian suddenly became confused. If the thing in front of him was really some kind of taboo, then this should be the second thing Lin Xian had encountered in a short period of time.
Hu Lushou looked a little strange. He quickly closed the special storage box and waited until the space around him was a little more relaxed before he spoke.
"Actually, I didn't know it at first. After I got lost in the polar night of Xingyuan, one of the people in the caravan brought this to me to exchange for supplies. At that time, I knew at a glance that this thing must have some origin. Although I have never seen a real forbidden object, this thing is very strange when it is taken out. The light around this thing will become very dim. I wondered if it could be the legendary forbidden object?"
"But the rumors about forbidden objects say that they are either weird or dead, so who would dare to touch them? But that person said that as long as we put them in this lead box, there will be no problem, so..."
"So you think this might be some kind of treasure that can be used to exchange for some benefits from the Federation or other forces, right?" Lin Xian saw through Hu Lushou's thoughts at a glance. He didn't have the courage to suppress bandits, but he had the courage to make money in the name of suppressing bandits.
Hu Lushou was well-informed, so he naturally knew that no matter whether it was a disaster plant or a taboo object, it had extremely high research value to the government or various organizations at the moment. Ordinary people stayed away from it, but he, Hu Lushou, was not an ordinary person. Even if he didn't understand what it was used for, it was okay as long as someone understood it.
“Hehehe…”
Hu Lushou, whose thoughts were guessed, did not blush: "Yes, that is what I meant, but..."
As he spoke, his face fell again. "I didn't expect that even though this thing is in a box, the power of darkness is so strong. I'm afraid that I'll be killed before I find someone who knows the value of it. So I thought that Team Lin has a lot of power and talents, so why don't you take it and study it?"
Hearing this, Lin Xian sneered in his heart. This excuse was completely ridiculous. First, this guy came up with the Emperor Plan, and then he even knew about the activities of the mysterious Adventist organization like Holy Revelation. How could he not find someone who knew what he was doing? He guessed that this guy must have realized that someone was targeting him and didn't want to get into trouble, so he wanted to hand this hot potato to Lin Xian, and also wanted to repay Lin Xian for saving someone's life, so that Lin Xian would thank him. His calculations were really well thought out.
Taboo objects are much more troublesome than disastrous plants. He knows nothing about their characteristics, hazards, and methods of containment. Brother Huo's gold bracelet is still in his attention. He is not at ease at all and doesn't know what state the bracelet is in. What's more, as soon as this thing was opened, the uncomfortable darkness almost filled the room. It is obviously not a good thing.
So Lin Xian was a little hesitant for a moment.
"Open it again and let me see."
Thinking of this, Lin Xian asked Hu Lushou to open the box. He was going to use his mechanical powers to test it out.
Hu Lushou nodded upon hearing this, and quickly opened the lower box again. In an instant, Lin Xian felt that the space around him seemed to be much darker, and the dizziness of the radiation and the chill of the darkness came again. Lin Xian gritted his teeth, immediately activated the mechanical heart, and tested the silver bullet.
【Scan failed, non-mechanical energy detected.】
Lin Xian frowned. It was indeed a taboo item...
So, Lin Xian prepared to use the devouring skill again.
But what was different this time was that when he started to devour, the silver-black bullet immediately began to vibrate violently, and black and red arcs of electricity rose up on it like a corona. The strong air pressure caused the debris in the basement to continuously fly towards the direction of the bullet, like a black hole.
At this moment, a terrifying prompt appeared on the light screen of Lin Xian's mechanical heart!
[Swallowing failed, the mechanical heart cannot respond to the content! 】
Lin Xian was startled and immediately stopped the operation of the Mechanical Heart.
Wow! Wow!
Scrap of paper and dust flew everywhere. Hu Lushou stared at the scene in amazement and quickly shouted to Lin Xian, "Captain Lin...something is wrong!"
Lin Xian looked at the silver-black bullet that kept moving and immediately closed the box. In an instant, the electric arc disappeared and the basement returned to calm.
Lin Xian let out a long sigh and was secretly shocked. No matter what this thing was, it was currently in an unknown dangerous state and even the Mechanical Heart could not devour it.
The Mechanical Heart gave different reactions each time it encountered the forbidden object, which made Lin Xian even more curious about it.
"How much do you know about taboos?" Lin Xian looked at Hu Lushou and asked.
Hu Lushou immediately shook his head: "These are just some bits and pieces of information. Only the Phoenix Society, the Federation, and organizations like Divine Revelation are specifically researching it. This thing is still very mysterious to us at the moment."
"good."
Lin Xian thought about it and decided to take the box. Even if he didn't take it, the result would be the same if Hu Lushou followed them this time. If he was really targeted by some Advent organization, it didn't matter. Lin Xian had more than one forbidden item in his car anyway. He had dared to confront the people of the Federation over the Hell Black Chrysanthemum, so it didn't matter if he was targeted by some Advent organization. It was impossible for him to give away the Heterogeneous Rubik's Cube and Brother Huo's bracelet together like Hu Lushou did to avoid trouble.
Seeing Lin Xian accept it, Hu Lushou's eyes lit up and he looked suddenly more confident.
Coming out of the Black Rose Bar, Lin Xian held the special alloy box in his hand. After thinking about it, he made another lead box and prepared to put it in the special box of the Gemini nuclear-powered locomotive for temporary storage. Later, he planned to learn more information related to the taboos and then solve it.
As soon as he got into the car, Lin Xian used the Heterogeneous Rubik's Cube to detect it. Fortunately, the Heterogeneous Rubik's Cube did not issue an alarm, which means that the thing sealed in the box still has a certain function.
Many people on the bus were assigned to clear out the bandit's lair. After Lin Xian put his things away, he immediately prepared to assemble and connect the Sun with Li Yi and the others on the table at the Aksai platform to facilitate team deployment later.
At this time, many people got off the train at Aksai platform and on the joint train far outside the platform to move around.
This was the first time that the joint train was free to move around without any risks after emerging from the polar night. Although it was only one afternoon, each team took advantage of this time to start repairing the damage in Xilan City and Yijin City. At the same time, after experiencing such a long night, everyone needed to bask in the sun to remove the toxins of darkness from their bodies. In the city, several teams were also taking the time to clean up the battlefield and clear out the usable supplies left over from the war with the sand bandits. This made the area around the originally abandoned and desolate Aksai City become lively.
There were people busy on the Infinity side. Chen Sixuan was not there, so Xiao Yuan helped and led people to clean the inside and outside of the car. At the same time, dozens of middle-aged strong workers from Li Yi's side all came down to help Lin Xian reorganize the train.
Most of these people were Liang Lei's former co-workers in the mechanical engineering team. After the apocalypse, they brought their families together and formed the Pao Yuan Camp. All of them are honest people who can work hard and hold the fort. There are more than 60 of them who can stand in the front to resist the strange bodies. There are 110 people in the whole team, plus the college student team on Luo Yang's side, the entire Infinity has a configuration of more than 180 people, close to 200 people.
With so many people, the train is more than 800 meters long and has 27 carriages. Lin Xian has to consider many issues.
For example, the configuration of the living carriage, the supply of the dining car, the sanitary environment, the deployment of weapon stations, and the personnel management of the carriages, etc.
At this point, Lin Xian and Shi Diyuan exchanged experiences and talked about how the Longshan No. 1 carriage with thousands of people can operate, and then decided to manage the members by function in small groups.
The first thing is the distribution of internal affairs on the train.
Internal affairs, housekeeping, hygiene, medical care, and meals are managed by Chen Sixuan, while Miao Lu and Li Yi assist in the allocation of carriages.
Electronic information, defensive weapons, monitoring, intelligence, etc. are managed by KIKI, and two technical experts, Luo Yang and Xiaobai, are responsible for assisting.
Weapons, ammunition, equipment, etc. are managed by Shuqin and Dalou, and Sasha, the little arms genius, is also there.
The train engineering department and maintenance team were composed of a large team led by Liang Lei, including a group of engineering team workers from the Pao Ben Yuan Camp and a group of technicians from the Zhui Ri Team. Several people from Lu Chang's side who had followed Lin Xian and were familiar with the condition of the train also joined in to assist.
The last ones are the scientific research and planting carriages. Normally, the scientific research and medical care of the entire train are managed by Ding Junyi. However, now that there are enough people, Lin Xian assigned Xiaoyuan and several young people from the Infinity and Sun Chasing Teams to Ding Junyi. At the same time, Lin Xian also plans to expand a train of carriages for planting purposes.
The reason is simple. Under the influence of the current darkness invasion, the team members have a higher demand for green plants and vegetables. Experiments have also shown that the Infinity's planting carriage can play a certain role in resisting the darkness invasion. Although it is not as good as the Heterogeneous Rubik's Cube, Lin Xian thinks this is crucial. Even Longshan No. 1 has learned from the experience of Infinity and set up some equipment for growing plants in each carriage.
Not only them, in fact, ever since the news of Phoenix Club's vegetable juice came out, growing plants has become a pursuit and obsession for almost all survivors.
It's not just for vegetable juice, it's more of an obsession. It seems that as long as the green is still growing, people will not despair about the end of the night and will be full of courage to chase the dawn.
So for a while, even in the tragic and suffocating escape, countless caravans around the world were trying to find ways to collect the only remaining plants and seeds on the blue planet, using simple containers to filter water and soil, and plant green seedlings of hope.
Then came the Infinity's battle sequence. Lin Xian also grouped the team members according to their experience in the Doomsday Escape and their unique abilities and special powers to facilitate subsequent deployment.
The first to be affected was the technical team headed by Lin Xian and KIKI, who were responsible for electronic information technology, hacking, mechanical devices, radar and other tasks. Luo Yang and Shasha also joined.
Then the train needs to have a team responsible for reconnaissance maneuvers.
The reconnaissance team is led by sniper Chen Sixuan and her deputy Miao Lu, together with several action experts including Luoluo Amin. When necessary, they are responsible for flying aircraft to conduct regional reconnaissance.
The mobile team is composed of Shu Qin and Lu Chang, with the addition of demolitionist Li Guangwen and 20 physical masters wearing power armor. Their characteristics include climbing/parkour ability and strong environmental adaptability. Lin Xian will make special arrangements for their equipment, including grappling guns, high-fiber ropes, reconnaissance drones, etc. They are mainly responsible for rapid support and mobility.
Next, Lin Xian divided the remaining main combat forces on the Infinity into two assault teams!
Led by two war gods like iron towers, Lou Da and Liang Lei, they are Assault Team One and Assault Team Two respectively. Each team has about 50 people, all equipped with Lone Wolf S tactical-grade power armor, individual arc pulse guns, Roarer K23 electric rotary machine guns, Thunderstorm A1 grenade launchers, rocket launchers and various pre-expended explosives. They are the main force of the Infinity when dealing with crises. Lin Xian is ready to equip them with all the heavy weapons that can be equipped for individual soldiers, and the firepower is fierce!
Lin Xian also arranged a flying assault team and let Brother Huo Lu Xingchen lead the team. Lin Xian planned to expand this team after he could manufacture individual flying vehicles in the future. Currently, there is only Brother Huo.
But after Lin told him, Brother Huo instead looked very confident, claiming that he was an army all by himself, and that was all right!
Finally, there are KIKI and Lin Xian. Strictly speaking, the technical team is more responsible for internal and defensive aspects, but Lin Xian will still flexibly deploy KIKI, Luo Yang and Shasha according to different situations.
For example, KIKI is so comprehensive. Whether it is technology, reconnaissance, or mobile assault, this girl is completely versatile...
Luo Yang's weapon is also a long-range combat capability, and even if it stays in the car it is comparable to a heavy weapon.
There is no need to talk about Sasha. She has almost turned a Vulcan into a Vulcan Arsenal. This little girl would go to Lin Xian to learn all kinds of mechanical knowledge whenever she has time. She has studied all the weapons on the car and almost took apart the electromagnetic cannon. For all this, Lin Xian not only did not stop her, but also responded to her requests and showed love and care to this little girl. Whatever she wants, as long as Lin Xian has the blueprint, he will help her make one. Don't look at her small age of 12, but she is more ferocious than her brother, the building, in driving the Sally to kill everyone in the monster tide.
So Lin Xian was thinking that if he could make more powerful mechas or mass-produce several of them, he could then form a mecha squadron like the Seventh Survey Corps. With such a steel barrier, the safety level of the entire vehicle could be raised to a higher level.
After the staffing was settled, Lin Xian began to prepare the carriage configuration of Infinity. This gave him a bit of a headache. The situation of Infinity was somewhat different from that of Longshan No. 1. There were too many functional carriages. There were now two nuclear-powered carriages, a Gemini 11R nuclear-powered electric locomotive (intercontinental-level 290 MW) and a Linglong engineering-level nuclear-powered electric locomotive (200 MW).
In addition, there are two Weilong-class electric traction locomotives, one Huanxing 10, and one Dabaobei Jujing 03E heavy-duty gas turbine locomotive...
Lin Xian was sitting in carriage No. 12 with a gloomy face, adjusting the layout of the carriage with a mobile terminal in his hand. Standing next to him was Grace. He glanced at the graceful robot and sighed inwardly. He had originally thought that if he could use this Crimson No. 3 intelligent AI to directly design a train layout for himself, he would have less worries. However, it turned out that the computer at the information center needed several days just to parse the program of this intelligent AI, and it might not be solved perfectly. Thinking of this, Lin Xian was quite troubled.
"If we want to solve this problem perfectly, the Dragon-class traction locomotive and the Gemini 11R nuclear-powered locomotive must be modified..."
"The Dragon class is simple, but the nuclear-powered vehicle requires the entire control console to be removed. Instead of that, it is better to put both nuclear-powered vehicles at the back for traction. I will connect the Dragon class and put it in the front, so that the power traction will not be rear-heavy."
At present, both power and electricity are very important to Infinity. Lin Xian will not consume them easily. Perhaps there will be a better plan after going to Jinhai, but under the current circumstances, this may be the best way.
"That's it!"
Lin Xian's eyes fixed on it, and he immediately picked up his mobile terminal to start arranging the new layout of the Infinite carriage.
The front of the vehicle is still the Giant Whale 03E heavy-duty gas turbine locomotive equipped with a thick shield, which is equipped with driving radar, active phased array radar, optoelectronic probe, sentry system, and horizon gateway.
Lin Xian will connect the two Wynn-class traction locomotives obtained from Xilan City behind car No. 2 and car No. 3, and repeat the aisle armor. With a power of up to 70,000 kilowatts and combined with gas turbine locomotives, it is enough to tow the combined train even if the hundreds of carriages behind do not output power!
The two traction locomotives are now equipped with YJ03 anti-aircraft guns and an automated Vulcan machine gun turret on their roofs, all of which are controlled by the information center's integrated fire control system.
The fourth section is still the main carriage No. 1 where Lin Xian and Chen Sixuan live, and the information center of No. 2 for KIKI and Sasha. In addition to the two girls living here, there is also the integrated circuit system of the entire train and a G3-rail electromagnetic gun.
No. 3 and No. 4 are the Cole 3 type biological science research cabins that were originally opened from the No. 9 underground city. They are also Ding Junyi's residence and scientific research as well as Lin Xian's planting carriages. Lin Xian plans to put the Sun's dining car behind carriage No. 4 and add a planting carriage to supply the needs of the entire car.
In this way, the building and Brother Huo's original carriage No. 5 became carriage No. 6 (Section 9 of Infinity), where Lin Xian successfully manufactured a G3-electromagnetic railgun when he was in Yijin City. At the same time, Lin Xian also planned to install an 1130 here to allow the [Weapon Station] to truly have strong firepower coverage, but because of this, very few people can live in the weapon station.
Carriages No. 7 and No. 8 are still the core supplies and dining cars of the entire train. In fact, most of the dining cars of Infinity are also used to store supplies, because there are relatively few times when large-scale dining is really needed. Most of the supplies are prepared in the dining cars or directly supplied in cans, and people solve the problem themselves.
Carriage No. 9 is the living carriage. It is also equipped with a YJ03 anti-aircraft gun and an automated Vulcan machine gun turret. Shuqin, Miao Lu, and Lu Chang mainly live here, with a total of 26 people. Shuqin herself has a larger single room.
Carriage No. 10 is quite special. Lin Xian arranged Duoduo and 22 other children in this carriage, and this carriage has been thickly armored.
Lin Xian arranged carriage No. 11 for Li Yi to live in, and it would be relatively convenient for some of the families and women in their team to live there.
Carriage No. 12 is still a weapon station, equipped with a 1130 close-in weapon system. Lin Xian also plans to build another G3-electromagnetic railgun here. At the same time, he arranges Luo Yang and Xiao Bai, the technical backbone of their team, here to guard the weapon station.
Lin Xian had left an empty tool carriage in carriage No. 13, which was to be used to manufacture a fully automatic bullet punching machine and to store all the weapons and ammunition on the train. This location was in the middle of the train and was relatively suitable.
The five carriages from No. 14 to No. 18 are all living carriages, with nearly 100 people living here. Lin Xian arranged for No. 14 to be occupied by 16 girls including Luoluo Amin, who were originally from the Luo Yang team, while No. 15 is occupied by 18 boys including Li Guangwen. The further carriages No. 16, 17 and 18 are all occupied by members of the Pao Ben Yuan camp. Most of them are Liang Lei's former co-workers, and there are also some families rescued on the road, so not all of them are men.
Although in this doomsday, something might happen between men and women, especially those who are single, and that is their freedom, for the convenience of daily life, Lin Xian still tries to arrange men and women other than families to live separately. At the same time, he also takes into account the deployment of some combatants. Some women in charge of internal affairs will almost always be closer to the dining car, along with the children and the supply car, which are in the central area protected by the Infinity.
Next, in carriage No. 19, Lin Xian converted the previous tool carriage into a vehicle carriage to park the two Night Star hypersonic aircraft. The carriage here needs to be converted into a fully automatic openable one to facilitate the aircraft to take off, but at the same time, armor must be taken into consideration, which is quite troublesome.
Carriage No. 20 was the previous mechagna cabin, where Sasha's Sally and the 6-axis robotic arm used for lifting were placed.
Carriage No. 21 is the last weapon station car of the Infinity, used to protect the Silver Star 10A traction locomotive and the Gemini 11R and Linglong nuclear-powered locomotives behind it. Similarly, Lin Xian also needs to manufacture an 1130 and G3-electromagnetic railgun here.
This No. 21 carriage together with the 6 power carriages make up the new 27-carriage Infinity train set. Except for the gas turbine carriage, Lin Xian has arranged a PX05-maintenance robot for daily maintenance, inspection and ammunition supply in the other power carriages and weapon stations.
After completing the configuration of the carriages, Lin Xian decided to start the renovation immediately and use the current time to complete the modification of the train. He estimated that he should be able to complete the modification of the Dragon class, the armor of the new planting carriage, and the No. 19 aircraft storage carriage in this afternoon. For the rest, he would have to do it slowly on the road. Lin Xian had not slept for two days and two nights. He had to rest tonight no matter what, as the train would enter the no-man's land tomorrow. He also used the gravitational lens once today, so his energy was really not enough.
"Carriage 6 is missing a 1130 close-in weapon system, weapon station 21 is missing a G3-electromagnetic railgun, and weapon station 12 is still empty. Both sets need to be built..."
"Then the original armor of the Sun needs to be improved and upgraded to the level of the Infinity. However, this is the least urgent. We must first develop the fully automatic bullet punching machine in carriage No. 13, and then the ultra-high temperature plasma beam cutting array to replace the outer armor electric blade device..."
"There is also the vehicle's power supply, water supply, and information system..."
Lin Xian closed his eyes. Expanding the team was not an easy task. Fortunately, he now had the help of partners like Luo Yang and Liang Lei who understood both engineering technology and mechanics. Lin Xian only needed to complete the manufacturing, and everyone could help him with the rest, which saved him a lot of worry.
Thinking of this, Lin Xian looked at the time on his watch and stood up immediately.
“Let’s get started!”
Please give me a monthly ticket!
