[Baiyin Train officially cancels passenger quota restrictions]
Chen An was stunned: "You mean, from now on, we can load as many passengers as we want, without any limit?"
[In principle, this is true, but the problem is that the amount of resources, energy reserves, and space comfort will affect the number of passengers, unless there are special circumstances]
Chen An nodded. "You're right. More passengers doesn't necessarily mean a stronger train. On the contrary, it might weaken the train. I suspect the reason for limiting the number of passengers in the bronze stage is to protect the train conductor. They're worried that many people won't be able to control their desires and will collapse due to too many passengers."
[Yes, starting from Silver, trains will have a lot of autonomy and will not be controlled too strictly by rules]
Let's put this matter aside for now. After all, the train is seriously short of passengers and there is no possibility of overcrowding.
The next day arrived quickly, and there was a big commotion on the roof.
This was what Chen An was most looking forward to, and he walked around excitedly.
"Fuyao, what is the second floor used for?"
The train currently has four floors: passenger, storage, power, and defense. The functions of these four floors are limited and cannot be easily modified. However, the newly created second floor will be completely empty and can be freely modified at the owner's will.
"Wait, shouldn't this be the fifth floor?"
[The owner may have forgotten that the passenger deck is the first floor, and the ones below are negative floors.]
"Haha, that seems to be the case. My mind is confused now and I can't think of any good ideas. Can you give me some references?"
[1. The new layer can be used as a storage layer to store energy crystals or other resources to relieve the pressure on the storage layer]
[Second, the new layer can be used as a defense layer, accommodating more warships or various weapons. Factories from the storage layer can also be moved there.]
[3. The new floor can be used as a passenger floor. The number of passengers can be doubled without limiting the number of seats.]
[Note: The width of the new layer is the same as the entire train, but the height is twice that of the first layer.]
That is, the new layer is larger in volume.
Chen An did not rush to make a decision, but calmed down and analyzed the situation carefully.
One person was definitely not enough, so he called Fei Yi, Luo Yu and others to come and brainstorm.
"Brother, what does our train need?" Qianqiu asked.
“Actually, you need both, because you can never have too much of anything.”
Qianqiu: "I mean the ones that need it most and have the biggest improvement."
Chen An pondered, "The passengers are so close to the Star Crosser that their strength has long surpassed that of the battleship. In other words, the new layer cannot be used as a defensive layer. After all, an excess of battleships is not that useful. But if it is used as a passenger layer, as the number of passengers increases, there will not be enough supplies."
Fei Yi: "Hehe, brother is so stupid, let's use them together! The first car is for passengers, and the second car is for supplies, and we can use them alternately."
"You are so smart." Chen An smiled and rubbed Fei Yi's head.
In fact, Chen An already knew that this was possible, he just wanted to find a more reasonable solution.
At this time, Fiona came up with an idea.
"The first floor will still hold passengers, no change, but who will go to the second floor? New passengers certainly won't be able to do that, and the old passengers will complain. So, in my opinion, we should use some of the carriages on the second floor to build more comfortable structures. Since the second floor is so high, I suggest building a skyscraper, and maybe even a city in the future."
Building buildings inside a car is not a fantasy. After all, there are already quite a few buildings built in the storage layer, such as the scientists' residences.
Chen An's eyes lit up.
"That's right. Since it's the second level obtained after the upgrade, it should be of a higher level. Fuyao, give me a plan based on the current discussion."
Soon after, the plan appeared on the screen and Fuyao gave a summary.
[Five hundred carriages are used in intervals, 250 of which are used for passenger accommodation, and the rest for storage of supplies]
The passenger compartments are constructed as standardized buildings, each with an estimated fifty floors, three suites per floor, accommodating one hundred and fifty passengers or families. This is the most relaxed scenario, with an estimated capacity of five thousand per compartment.
[The house is not for sale but for rent. It can only be purchased or given as a gift by special passengers.]
[Calculations show that 250 carriages can accommodate at least 190 million passengers. If they were to live in families, the capacity would be even higher.]
Chen Ando said: "The building can be a little closer. There is no such thing as full lighting inside the car anyway."
The train carriages can simulate the natural environment, firstly by using green space features for standardized design, and secondly by featuring an artificial sun. This artificial sun does not use nuclear fusion modules, but rather simply releases energy, supplied by the train's energy source.
Fei Yi was delighted to hear this and said happily, "That sounds very interesting. If the train continues to grow, can we build a real city inside the carriages?"
[Yes, the city inside the car is a reasonable design, as long as the volume is large enough]
Chen Ando said: "Although the plan is good, it is not perfect. Announce the plan to the entire carriage and let the passengers participate."
Half a minute later, the passengers in the carriage were in an uproar.
They were crazy, excited, and some were even moved to tears.
From the moment they boarded the train until now, they have been living in their seats.
There is no more space to stretch out, no private area, and no matter how uncomfortable it is, you have to endure it in order to survive.
But now it's different. The train will have buildings, which means they can have their own private accommodation as a family, even if it's just a small room.
At the end of the plan, Fuyao specifically noted that this was a benefit given to them by the train conductor, not a restriction of the rules.
"The boss is still the best. Fortunately, I got on the car at the beginning."
"I don't have any suggestions, but I feel the space is too big for me to live in comfortably. We can reduce the size to provide opportunities for more people."
"It is recommended to complete the public facilities, such as the bathroom. There will probably not be a private bathroom in the house, after all, there is not enough space."
"I don't know if it's expensive. I'm worried I can't afford it."
Some people on Purple Star are worried about housing prices, as they have seen big things.
Back then, a loan of thirty years was required on Purple Star, but here it is estimated to be at least three hundred years.
Chen An could answer some of the questions, but he would leave most of them for now and would only be able to give answers after the construction was actually completed.
For example, the housing price issue they are concerned about will not arise because the houses will not be sold.
As for the rental amount, it should be estimated based on the average wealth level of the passengers.
It is impossible for everyone to be able to afford to live there, only the strong can enjoy better treatment.
The day passed in discussion, and after it ended, the second floor was completed.
Chen An checked the interior. The overall structure was similar to the first floor, but it was empty and there was nothing inside.
"Fuyao, give us the overall diagram of the train."
The train has become taller, but it is not unbalanced because the train was originally too flat and is now in a standard shape, which looks very comfortable.
"All the electromagnetic railguns have been moved to the top floor, which is not bad."
Chen An was very satisfied and looked forward to the transformation on the third day.
