Building the Top of the Stars is not something that can be completed in a day or two.
Fuyao estimated that it would take two months, and the most important issue was collecting materials from everywhere.
During this period, more and more trains converged.
Chen An discovered that not all trains could be upgraded to level five, and there were actually quite a few that were four stars.
"At this stage, it's still a four-star train, with basically no potential for development."
Soon after, under the leadership of Chen An, the trading market covering tens of thousands of trains developed and became very prosperous.
Chen An continued his previous practice, acting as guarantor and distributor, making huge profits from it.
These interests were eventually transformed into various resources and swallowed up by Fuyao and Dawn Train.
When the number of trains reached 15,000, Tiekan, who had finally arrived, proposed holding a chess competition.
This guy was so bored that he brought up a topic that had almost been abandoned.
Now that someone has proposed it, the other train conductors will definitely discuss it.
The enthusiasm is not high, but most train conductors are willing to participate.
Chen An was not interested in hosting it, so he simply let Tielan do it.
Tiejian was not interested either and pushed it to Huozhan.
Huo Zhan didn't even look at the plan and just threw it to other train conductors.
After changing hands more than thirty times, it was finally intercepted by the black vortex.
"Then let me do it! It's not a difficult task, I just need to provide the venue."
Chen An asked Fuyao to make the plan, and Heiwo improved it, and then built a huge competition venue in the nearby starry sky.
Ten days later, the competition officially began with more than one million contestants and the scene was harmonious.
Tiejian praised: "As expected of Black Vortex, he has arranged everything perfectly. I was originally looking forward to seeing him make a fool of himself."
Chen An asked with a smile, "Are you trying to make fun of me? You had to mess up a competition that I was clearly about to give up."
They chatted in a private channel and there was no need to be shy.
"Don't you think there's a bit of tension between the trains? Organizing some competitions can liven up the atmosphere," Tiekan explained.
Chen An said, "That's true. There are only so many resources, and some trains often quarrel or even go to war over star upgrades. I heard that a train was attacked by other trains when it was upgrading its star, but fortunately the train conductor was fine."
Tiejian: "So, it's good to have some fun."
"How many contestants did you send?" Chen An asked.
Tiejian replied: "Not many, ninety-nine."
"There are ninety-nine projects in total, and you've participated in all of them. I'm curious, do you Scythes understand Star Chess?"
Iron Scythe: "It's highly likely they won't understand. But there aren't only Scythes on the train. There are plenty of crystal creatures with strong computing power."
The game started with their casual chat.
Chen An hadn't originally planned to watch the competition, but because Fei Yi was participating, he took some time to watch some events for fun.
The biggest feature of this competition is that the contestants are passengers, so passengers can watch it in real time, see other races in each train, and broaden their horizons.
The competition lasted for seven days, but the result surprised Chen An.
The chess champion came from the Golden Eye Clan's train, the Gobang champion was snatched away by the Scythe Clan, and the Go champion belonged to Zhu Jiuhai's people.
You must know that these three types of chess are not from Purple Star, but from Earth, so the people of Purple Star do not have any advantage.
Fuyao Train only won one grand prize, which was the Star Chess that Feiyi participated in.
She won first place with a crushing victory and was very humble, saying that the real masters did not participate in the competition.
The master Fei Yi mentioned was Ni Fu, who had never lost.
However, Niv cannot participate in the competition without a physical body, otherwise Feiyi would only be the runner-up.
Chen An didn't take these results seriously, but he was not very satisfied that his people did not win the chess championship.
"I thought Xiangqi was a sure thing, but it turned out I couldn't even make it into the top three."
The simpler the rules of chess, the easier it is to learn. The place of origin doesn't necessarily win the championship.
Interestingly, Heiwo also made an evaluation at the end.
Gobang was rated as the most popular board game, while Star Chess was the least popular.
Chen An laughed heartily: "Sure enough, no matter what race, they all prefer games with simple rules."
After the competition was over, Feiyi happily returned to the train and took back a lot of rewards.
"Brother, look, my medal."
Black Vortex has come up with new ways to reward people, and is not limited to the energy crystals originally set.
In addition to medals, there are also identities, titles, and so on.
Feiyi won the title of Queen of Star Chess of All Races, which will probably make her proud for a long time.
"The medal is beautiful, can I use it all?"
She received a reward of five million energy crystals.
Fei Yi narrowed her eyes and replied sweetly, "I don't need that much, so I'll give it all to my brother. Can I hang the medal in the cockpit?"
"No, the medal will only hang in your bedroom. But I can add the title to your online profile."
Feiyi excitedly gave Chen An a bite.
"Can I add it now?"
Chen An asked Fuyao to help her add it. From now on, whenever she uses the star domain network of Fuyao Train, her identity information will include the title.
"Hehe, thank you brother, I'm going out to play now."
"Go ahead, but don't be so cocky. Keep it to yourself."
The chess game was just a simple entertainment activity between trains, and it did ease the atmosphere a lot.
Nothing major happened after that, and the Top of the Stars was gradually built up.
It was originally planned to take two months, but it actually only took one and a half months.
The rebuilt Summit of Stars is much larger than the original one, but its energy conversion efficiency is weaker.
But it is enough for train use.
Under the attention of all the train conductors, Chen An gave the start order.
There is a complex energy storage device inside the Top of the Stars, filled with over 10 billion energy crystals.
After a while, light of various colors scattered out, making the surrounding starry sky extremely bright.
The vortex is below the base, but super-energy beams of light are emitted from the windows above and finally impact the vortex.
No sound could be heard, only the vortex being pulled wildly, with visible signs of expansion appearing.
Finally, after three hours, the vortex expanded to ten times its original size, which was the limit.
"The stored energy crystals can only last for two days. When they run out, we need to add more. Who will go first?"
No train dared to go ahead, and Chen An did not respond because the prophecy given by Luo Yu was very strange.
"You said there's no mimic army on the other side?"
Luo Yu replied: "Yes, the other party seems to no longer exist, but we cannot rule out that they are still ambushing in the distant starry sky."
"You continue to predict and give me real-time results."
Luo Yu said, "We will trigger the trap, causing a powerful explosion. The train will be blown away and its defenses will be blown away, resulting in countless casualties."
"What kind of bomb can break through the train's defenses?"
"A massive number of fusion bombs is equivalent to the explosion of a hundred artificial stars."
Chen An took a breath of cold air.
"An explosion of this magnitude wouldn't withstand even a five-star train, let alone a four-star train. And we're the only ones who aren't afraid. Make the prediction public immediately."
This kind of thing does not need to be kept to oneself, because other prophets will definitely get it as well. Announcing it in advance can gain more favor and dependence from the train conductor.
