Chapter 371 Interstellar Train (Seeking monthly pass at the end of the month!)
Everyone's heart was filled with excitement. Lin Xian, Chen Sixuan and KIKI exchanged surprised glances with each other, and then walked towards the No. 1 loading line factory. Before they entered, dense robots appeared above their heads, going in and out in an orderly manner, and countless mechanical assembly and welding sounds came one after another.
The moment Lin Xian and his group stepped into the No. 1 loading plant, they couldn't help but hold their breathing for a moment.
This factory is not a workshop, it can be said to be an artificial canyon. The steel supports on both sides are like towering trees, supporting the curved dome. In the center of the canyon, a behemoth comes towards you with a majestic epic feeling!
The entire body of the starship is made of black armor plates, and the pitch-black hull of more than 2,000 meters stretches across the entire assembly area. It is difficult to see the word "train" here, and it is completely a large floating starship.
The most peculiar thing is that this behemoth is divided into four modules, with slight differences in size and appearance. But when they are fully connected, it is like an interstellar heavy sword drawn from its sheath, which is daunting.
"Wow, is this a train?" Sasha's eyes widened.
"This is even larger than any starship in the Far Star class." Shu Qin said in shock.
At this moment, whether it was Dalou, Liang Lei, Luo Yang, Li Yi and others, they were all extremely shocked. Young people like Miao Lu, Lu Chang, Xiao Yuan and others were so surprised that they were speechless.
"That's very domineering. I like it." Lu Xingchen said to Lin Xian with pride in his eyes and a surge of emotion: "Brother Lin, we should take this ship, fly into the sky, and head for the endless stars..."
"Don't get crazy yet."
KIKI raised her hand to interrupt him, looking at the black starship and asked, "Can this thing run on orbit?"
"Definitely." Lao Mo looked up with emotion, pointing at the two strange black energy-conducting slots under the starship. "That's called an orbital bow. It can self-generate a levitation force field to attract the star orbit. The design of the star orbit has the use standards of magnetic levitation and horizon gateways. This is completely possible."
"That's right."
The old engineer beside Jian Xuwei introduced at this time: "The original plan to build the circumstellar orbit was to build it in space for the construction of the Moon-Watching Planetary Ring. The Moon-Watching Planetary Ring serves as a space city and also as a transfer station connecting to the moon. The Sky Dome Interstellar Train is used to transport materials between the earth and the moon. The transportation efficiency is extremely high. However, due to the limitations of technology and some problems in regional cooperation at the time, the Moon-Watching Planetary Ring chose the equatorial space elevator plan for its construction. The current circumstellar orbit belongs to the first phase of the ground project, and the global magnetic levitation transportation has also greatly improved the efficiency."
"Now this Sky-class interstellar giant train, code-named "Ark-7", has four core hulls. The first is the core drive ship, which is where the defense weapons and intelligent central system are located. The second functional ship at the back includes orbital guidance, space navigation system and gravity ring. The 5,000-megawatt [Star Drive]-class nuclear power center of the Sky-class train is here, but the gravity ring has not been completed yet. At the same time, it is also a low-temperature hibernation chamber and a civilization embryo room, which can store a lot of supplies. The third ship is the crew living area and the main bridge. It is mainly where the interstellar train operation and maintenance and technical crew members are located. Finally, there is the power compartment of the fourth ship, which has 8 Eternal Space Propulsion Devices. You must know that a 500,000-ton Far-Area starship only has 4 of them!"
The old engineer raised his glasses and continued, "Besides that, because it is used for transportation, including the airborne engines and 2,000 propulsion arrays, this combined interstellar giant train can be connected to more than 1,000 standard ship modules that you just saw. If this type of ship module is used for living, each ship can accommodate at least 1,000 people!"
"So why is this thing called a train..." Lin Xian didn't understand, but he was shocked.
"Didn't I tell you that it can run close to the track?" Jian Xuwei said calmly at this time: "In an extreme case, as long as the structure allows, all your trains can be directly towed into the sky by it."
"Isn't that crazy?" Shi Diyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Our train doesn't have a levitation engine. Being dragged into the sky by this thing is just like being on a rope."
"I'm just describing it this way." Jian Xuwei said, looking at Lin Xian: "Although we can't go to the sky now, if we use this as a traction vehicle in the circumstellar orbit, there will be no orbital problems. If possible, we can form an alliance and cross the Pacific Ocean together. Even if we break the sky curtain one day, you are also qualified to do so."
"I think it's very good." Qian Dele walked up first and looked at Lin Xian with a smile: "Lin Xian, take me with you. I want a room with a porthole."
"Then I'll operate the orbital star cannon!" Sasha raised her hand excitedly, looking eager to try.
"Then I'll still be in charge of the information center!" KIKI giggled.
"I'll be the helmsman!" Luo Yang volunteered.
"Haha, then I'll be the chief engineer!" Lao Mo said with a smile.
"Oh no, if there's a guy like this, then I don't have to bother upgrading Longshan No. 1." Shi Diyuan crossed his arms and looked at Lin Xian: "Brother Lin, let's form an alliance together. There is strength in numbers. What do you think?"
For a moment, everyone was very excited. After seeing this huge interstellar train, everyone was extremely yearning for it.
Everyone here has experienced the despair of being trapped in orbit in the Star Abyss, but the current world is obscured by the giant curtain of the sky. In this case, this interstellar battleship that can run in orbit and float in the air at critical moments, and has extremely powerful firepower and functions, is simply a doomsday safe city tailor-made for them!
Lin Xian felt a little hot in his head as he watched this scene.
The day before yesterday, he had mentioned at Shinji Mochizuki's dinner party that he wanted a vehicle that could fly, dive into the water, and run on orbit. He didn't expect that this interstellar battleship would appear in front of him like this, making him doubt his life.
"How many standard ship module cabins are there in that picture?"
"Three, and another one is under construction, but it will soon be stopped." Jian Xuwei looked at everyone nominating Lin Xian for the alliance, her eyes slightly changed, and she said, "This is also the reason why I want to seek help from Silent City and form an alliance with you."
"You want him to help build a few more?"
Jian Xuwei nodded: "There are also weapon systems and gravity rings. The problem now is that all the resources in Dawn City have been withdrawn. My original plan was to build at least 10 standard ships, but at this rate, it is definitely impossible."
"Ten ships? You have 10,000 men now?"
"The alliance between Jiang Yun and I currently has more than 60,000 people in Dawn City," said Jian Xuwei.
"You have 60,000 people!!!?" Lin Xian said in surprise: "You want to revolt."
Jian Xuwei smiled and said, "In addition to our Finger Group members, some have joined from Yubei Airport, and most of the others have united in Jinhai and Shuguang City. The purpose of forming an alliance is to deal with the Crimson World. So if they leave Shuguang City, I will coordinate these people through the Finger Group's alliance fleets and then enter the polar region. You forgot, I still have the Silver Star."
Lin Xian nodded: "I'm not surprised when you mention Jiang Yun."
Speaking of which, Lin Xian still admires Jiang Yun very much. This guy can call on friends wherever he goes, and it is definitely not easy for him to form such a large alliance.
"How is it?" Jian Xuwei looked at Lin Xian at this time: "Now the movement of Xingyuan has intensified, and time is running out. If the Dawn Center has crossed the Qionggu Strait, our fastest way is to cross the ocean orbit to enter South America, but if we want to enter the polar region, we can only cross the sea or fly. Your Infinity should not be ready."
"I have this plan." Lin Xian shrugged. "It sounds good. Even if there is no room for people to stay, they can stay in the ordinary train temporarily. With the help of Silent City in the construction, the expansion capacity of this interstellar train can be continuously improved."
"good."
"But Shinji Mochizuki and the others are not planning to cross the Pacific Ocean," said Lin Xian.
Jian Xuwei frowned slightly: "What?"
Lin Xian briefly explained Mochizuki Shinji's idea. Jian Xuwei took a deep breath after hearing it: "I understand. Can you at least help us complete the fourth standard ship now?"
"Can."
Before Lin Xian could say anything, a holographic screen on his communicator lit up, and Mochizuki Shinji appeared in it with a leisurely look on his face and spoke.
"Not only can I help you build a standard ship, but I can also build the weapon system and gravity ring. I promised Lin that I would help him build this train."
"Have you planned this a long time ago?" Jian Xuwei looked at Mochizuki Shinji and asked.
"Yes, strictly speaking, Silent City and Lin Yongyuan are allied. I will accomplish what he wants for him."
"Hey, you owe me a favor, how come you're talking like we're having an affair." Lin Xian grinned, "Come here quickly and study that colonial suit. Also, Jian Xuwei just mentioned that the underground construction factory connects many areas, so you'd better let Qian Suxun's mecha army and drones to explore the whole city, otherwise we will definitely not be at ease staying in Jinhai."
"Okay, okay~ We'll be there soon." Mochizuki Shinji said lightly, then closed the communication.
Jian Xuwei on the opposite side looked at Lin Xian in surprise. She originally thought that Lin Xian's joint convoy entered Jinhai under the protection of Silent City. But now it seems that Mochizuki Shinji still has to listen to Lin Xian's arrangements.
"What does it mean that Silent City owes you a favor?" Jian Xuwei asked at this time.
"Oh, nothing."
Lin Xian said casually: "It's just that I saved Silent City from the Star Abyss, and helped Silent City escape disaster, so in all, Mochizuki Shinji owes me a favor."
"What did you say? You saved Silent City!?" Jian Xuwei's cold and proud face changed color rarely at this moment. Monica in the crowd saw this scene and raised her lips slightly.
"This is a very interesting story. Chairman Jian must listen to it."
After hearing what Monica said, Jian Xuwei's eyes flickered slightly when she looked at Lin Xian, and she felt a little complicated for a moment.
Jian Xuwei had obtained information about Yubei Airport, breaking out of the snowfield, and the Xilan War from the Phoenix Order, but she could never have imagined that Lin Xian actually rescued the Silent City with a population of 100,000 and the joint train from the No. 5 Star Abyss.
What is so special about this man?
"Modular standard hull, that sounds really good." Lin Xian didn't notice Jian Xuwei's look at this time, but said: "So we can tow the combined train together, so we don't need all-terrain drive."
"That's definitely not necessary!" Hu Lushou's eyes lit up and he came up excitedly: "We can all fly, so we don't need to worry about encountering any slopes or bumps!"
“That makes sense.”
Lin Xian took a deep breath, and the direction of the next train upgrade became clear at once. Compared with the modification or addition to ordinary train carriages, this tailor-made vehicle that can track and float is simply perfect. With this Sky-class vehicle, he basically doesn't have to worry about the track problem in the future. Moreover, the huge hull can also support him to carry out a large number of weapons expansions, such as 1130, electromagnetic railguns, plasma bubbles, orbital star cannons, long-range missiles and even space-based weapons, which can be fully equipped.
With a 5,000-megawatt nuclear power center, he can open a farm or a breeding farm in it without having to worry about electricity at all.
"So what do you say, Brother Lin!" Steve came up eagerly and said, "How about we form a big alliance?"
"I agree." Ning Jing nodded.
"I agree too." Qian Dele said.
"I agreed a long time ago." Monica said with a smile.
At that moment, the captains of more than a dozen other train teams all excitedly expressed their willingness to join. Jian Xuwei looked at Lin Xian from the crowd and said seriously, "Can my Silver Star join, Captain Lin?"
"I couldn't ask for more." Lin Xian looked at her with a smile: "If it weren't for you, this Sky Train has been taken away by the Federation people. I should be thanking you."
Jian Xuwei shook her head: "In times of crisis, cooperation is better than division, and we need to do our part. There are some things I can't do, but if we work together, we can do it."
"good."
Lin Xian nodded thoughtfully: "Then please ask Chairman Jian to introduce us to the detailed parameters and functions of the Sky Train, and then we will discuss the division of labor in the alliance. This interstellar train will be ours in the future!"
"Great!" KIKI smiled excitedly.
For a moment, everyone on the United Train was in an uproar.
Buzz buzz buzz. At this moment, a huge roar came from the heaven and earth. Above the sky of the Star Ring Train loading factory, a giant floating city came with a momentum that covered the sky and the sun. Countless people looked up and saw a giant deck full of heavy weapons coming into sight.
Silent city.
Then, a large number of transport ships landed continuously, and countless drones entered the factory in groups.
On one of the transport ships, the hatch opened, and Shinji Mochizuki got off the transport ship with the backbone members of the Silent City, including Shun Senjuku, Ran Amano, Ryunosuke, and Shiori.
"I know you don't like to waste time, so let's start the construction now."
Shinji Mochizuki smiled, and then signaled to Sensu Shun with his eyes: "Shun, the underground search is now left to you."
"OK."
Qian Su Xun tapped on his body, and the nano armor quickly covered it. At the same time, with the assistance of the ACS robot, a large number of silver mechanical dogs and search drones densely filed out from the transport ships in the rear, followed them into the previous underground colonial equipment construction factory, and then began to search along the freight channel.
Lin Xian, Jian Xuwei and a group of members of the "Infinite Alliance" boarded the main bridge of the Sky Train from the connecting channel to discuss the joint plan and detailed division of labor.
It's not complicated here. The core backbone is still these people, but there have been certain adjustments in the crew's living arrangements, separating the combat personnel and technical backbones, and then they are managed by hierarchical managers.
However, before the construction of a large number of modular standard hulls is completed, the original joint fleet remains unchanged and continues to follow up on the train. Due to the uncertain time period, Lin Xian cannot know from Mochizuki Shinji how much construction progress can be made. However, this does not matter to him much. After leaving the Silent City, he can also start construction on his own. This is why Lin Xian is confident in the Sky Train plan.
Because the blueprint already exists, he does not need to worry about modifications, but can instead build on the modules, which is much easier than the original independent design.
Therefore, after discussion, it is currently decided that the core members headed by Lin Xian, together with the engineers and technicians needed for the interstellar train, will land on the main ship to operate the interstellar train, while children will be given priority as residents, while other train members will remain unchanged, because each train car needs the support of combatants, and if the living module hull cabin is not enough, moving the combatants up will mean having fewer people.
After that, Lin Xian will gradually reduce the length of the joint train and continue to move more people onto the interstellar train. At the same time, he will be able to mechanically devour the originally vacant joint train.
The time soon came to 7 o'clock in the morning. The sky was still dark, and the sound of the tide of zombies outside the industrial area had become much less.
After completing the alliance discussions, the captains of each train returned to the train excitedly and passed the good news to their teammates. When they learned that they were about to board the interstellar train, thousands of people became excited and looked forward to it.
Lin Xian got off the interstellar train and was about to go back to the Infinity to rest, but Jian Xuwei called him into a factory room to talk alone.
"Seizing this Sky Dome-class machine from the Federation is just a plan for my self-preservation and also a way out. I didn't expect you to cooperate with me before." Jian Xuwei looked at Lin Xian: "To be honest, I admire the feats you have accomplished along the way very much. I fully approve of your decision to be the leader."
Lin Xian looked at the cold and proud woman in surprise, frowned and said, "Do you have anything to say to me?"
Jian Xuwei looked at Lin Xian with flickering eyes, and after a while, she said
"From the perspective of the starship management system, you are no longer a captain, but a captain."
"It doesn't matter, you can call me whatever you want." Lin Xian smiled and said, "We are just an alliance united for survival in the doomsday, so there is no need to do that."
"You don't understand me."
Jian Xuwei raised her chin slightly and said in an unquestionable tone
"If you are the captain, please allow me to be your first mate."
"Why?" Lin Xian smiled slightly.
In fact, he had seen through Jian Xuwei's thoughts before, because when Jian Xuwei brought them into the factory, Jian Xuwei formed an alliance against Lin Xian with herself as the core.
Lin Xian could fully understand this.
Jian Xuwei is the head of the Finger Group. Even a Silver Star manages thousands of people. Her team is also the main force in the construction of this Sky-class train. In addition, she and Jiang Yun now have an alliance of 60,000 people. In this case, Jian Xuwei spoke completely with the direction of "recruiting" Lin Xian, but after some discussion, everyone supported Lin Xian as the leader. Lin Xian saw that Jian Xuwei was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything during the whole process. The Sky-class train needs to be constructed and controlled, which only Silent City and Lin Xian can do. In the end times, this "Sky Infinite Train" only needs one person to have the final say, so he will not try to please or cater to him, and just wait for Jian Xuwei to make a direct proposal.
Jian Xuwei was indeed a little caught off guard by the alliance and division of labor, but when she learned that Shinji Mochizuki of Silent City was Lin Xian's ally, and even Silent City was rescued by Lin Xian, Jian Xuwei acknowledged this point. In addition, she had witnessed Lin Xian's ability to turn the tide at Yubei Airport before, which shocked her.
Therefore, for Jian Xuwei, Lin Xian is a special person in her heart. Jian Xuwei does not think that this is a low-level interest such as admiration or affection, but an appreciation that is difficult to hide in pride and a hint of curiosity in reason. However, for her, the most important thing is that she has to answer to more than 60,000 people from the Finger Group and the Dawn City Wind Walker Alliance. Therefore, the premise for her to be willing to form an alliance is that Lin Xian treats her as a core, rather than a marginal person.
Of course, Jian Xuwei was very confident about this, but as a businessman and the head of a group, she was not used to communicating through hints or guesses. She needed to make a decision directly with Lin Xian and express her needs.
"First of all, we have gone through a life-and-death partnership. You can trust me and my people. At the same time, I am the head of the Finger Group. I will assist you in making strategic decisions and coordinating the operations of various departments. You can also rest assured about my execution and capabilities. Then, as a partner of the 'Fengyun' alliance, I need to be responsible for my alliance members. Although they are not here now, I must fight for them based on the interests..."
Jian Xuwei saw Lin Xian's smiling expression and knew that he had guessed her thoughts, but she did not show any weakness and still looked at Lin Xian proudly and said:
"Finally, I am a woman who enjoys rights. I only accept being under you because I tell myself and try to convince myself that... you"
“It’s the savior!”
