The changes in the train after it was upgraded to a higher star level have always been regular, so Chen An had already anticipated it.
What made him most happy was that the number of passengers had doubled, and there were now 50 million more places.
If the extra 25 million from the Dawn Train is added, he can now recruit a total of 75 million new passengers, which is a significant boost to the train.
In addition to quantity, the internal firepower point that Chen An had been thinking about finally arrived.
"This means that no matter what the situation is, no matter how great the external threat is, the train will have room to fight back. Fuyao, can we modify the firepower point?"
The screen shows that the laser turrets inside the defense layer are not as powerful as those outside, and it would be better if they could be replaced with suborbital cannons.
[Unable to change temporarily]
"Forget it then. Maybe in the future. Can the observation deck be customized? How?"
Fuyao gave a simulation picture, which made Chen An's eyes light up.
The observation deck can be freely retracted, and the front end can also be opened, so that passengers can use it as a fulcrum to attack from outside.
The prerequisite is that the area between the observation deck and the carriage must be completely blocked to ensure that the various life-support systems in the carriage are not affected.
"It's somewhat useful, but it doesn't seem very useful. However, there is one advantage. When the battle gets intense, it's faster for the Star Walkers to walk on the observation deck than on the roof."
"By the way, I can't sense any new abilities I have."
[Enhanced Devouring: Devouring other extraordinary beings has a chance to gain certain inherent abilities of the other party, and all abilities do not conflict with each other.]
Chen An was shocked and asked, "What if it's a special extraordinary person?"
[You will gain special abilities and can upgrade infinitely]
Infinite upgrade means that he can devour the same special supernatural power multiple times, so that the abilities he obtains can be continuously strengthened.
"Hiss, there seems to be a bug. If I get the abilities of the Eternal and the Prophet, wouldn't I be instantly invincible?"
[Eternals do not have the ability to achieve immortality before becoming spirits, and immortality is not a special ability, but the result of using the ability.]
Chen An suddenly realized: "In other words, if I devour the Eternal, the ability I gain is to help the train upgrade its star."
[It is recommended that the master do not devour them recklessly. After awakening the Eternal, you must use your abilities as soon as possible, otherwise you will die. If you use your abilities, you will be permanently transformed into a spirit. The master will definitely not want this.]
Chen An grinned: "I definitely don't want to. It seems that all special supernatural powers have side effects. If the side effects are combined and strengthened... that's nonsense."
After thinking this through, Chen An realized that he had to use his abilities with caution in the future.
"Unfortunately, the Dawn Train upgrade didn't provide any capabilities."
Although Zishu is the train conductor, she is only an agent and cannot get the benefits given after the Dawn Train is upgraded.
"Chen An, are you okay?" Zishu asked in the private channel.
"I'm fine, follow me and change places."
After the train is upgraded to a new star, it does not mean that it has no desires, but it is the beginning of a new stage of development.
The number of helipads in the defense layer has doubled, which means that more warships can now be built and more fleets can be formed.
"Fuyao, do I need to establish more fleets?"
[It is not recommended to establish a new fleet, but the organization of the existing fleet can be expanded]
"Yes, that's what I want to do. Doubling the number of warships in the existing fleet is much better than mindlessly increasing the number of fleets."
But there is a problem. This starry sky lacks mineral resources and does not have the complete conditions to continue manufacturing warships.
"Maybe we should find a way to get through."
The two trains were heading towards the top of the stars, and received good news on the way.
The suborbital gun has been upgraded.
Fuyao opened the data provided by Stilo, which showed that the strength of the suborbital cannon was directly upgraded from level one to level three.
Chen An was surprised: "Such a huge leap?"
[Stilo has conducted in-depth research on the Mimics' super-torque cannon, learning better energy storage structures and conversion modules. If the super-torque cannon can be completely mastered in the future, the suborbital cannon can be upgraded to level four.]
If the fleet was equipped with only level 4 guns, Chen An would dare to let them besiege the train.
"Very good. The weapons research institute will give out rewards to everyone. Especially Stilo."
Chen An was very happy and took the opportunity to learn about the situation in other research institutes.
Most research institutes remain the same, occasionally producing some research results, but they don't cause much waves.
The Energy Research Institute that Chen An attaches the most importance to is still under research, and there is no result on the energy converter.
"Zhou Zhenfeng is working hard enough, don't bother him. Fuyao, how many second-level Star Steppers do we have now?"
He had been upgraded a long time ago, but he hadn't paid attention to the passengers for a long time.
We currently have 1,739 Double Star Steppers, most of whom are from the Air Patrol Force.
The total number of Star Walkers exceeded 500,000, but it was too difficult to reach the second level, and most of them advanced by devouring the second level of mimicry.
"It's okay." Chen An was quite satisfied.
Five days later, Chen An arrived at the Top of the Stars and found that thousands of trains were already on the scene.
"Brother An is here?"
"Brother An, open the Star Domain Network!"
"I've only been here a few days... Holy shit, are you a six-star?"
"Everyone look at the monster, there's a six-star train."
The scene was filled with five-star trains, and the presence of the Fuyao train was extremely conspicuous.
After the star network was opened, the train conductors quickly applied to join and continued to discuss the six-star train, their shock beyond words.
"Anger, what does the six-star train mainly enhance?"
Chen An replied, "Of course it's all aspects, the most obvious being the length of the train. The six-star train will have a hundred more carriages, and the number of passengers will exceed 100 million."
"A six-star train costs over 100 million, so a seven-star train would have to cost 200 million, right?"
"What's the deal with the Silver Train? I'm worried the train won't be able to sustain its power. The longer it gets, the less agile it will become."
Chen An suddenly asked, "What abilities did you gain by upgrading the five-star train?"
"Ability, what ability?"
Chen An said, "I heard someone brag that when a train is upgraded, it will give the conductor special abilities."
This sparked more heated discussion.
"Really? Why didn't I see it?"
"Brothers, have you obtained the ability?"
"I haven't seen it anyway."
"Brother An, where did you hear those rumors?"
Chen An replied: "Maybe I heard it wrong. I haven't seen it either. This rumor is too outrageous."
Chen An therefore confirmed one thing, that the ability gained by upgrading the train star seemed to be unique to him.
In the past, when he attacked other trains, he was always wary of the train conductor's ability. If there was absolute protection or quantum teleportation, it would leave trouble.
Now I understand, it turns out that the other train conductors didn't have that.
"No wonder Dawn Train has been quiet since it was upgraded to a star. Fuyao, what's going on?"
【No relevant information】
"You put it so bluntly."
Seeing that the other train conductors were still arguing, Chen An did not get involved.
As more and more trains arrived, the question of how to get there was once again on the agenda.
"Play it safe and rebuild the summit of the stars."
"We don't need a hundred or even a thousand trains going through at once; ten will do."
No one objected to this, everyone agreed.
So Chen An took the lead, and other trains assisted in building a new Summit of Stars.
