On the Lingshuo train, Luo Da was in high spirits.
"Everyone leave as soon as possible."
"In two days, we will have our first two-star train."
Various spaceships flew outward, and Luo Da felt happy.
As long as the train is upgraded to two stars, he will be invincible.
"At the moment, it seems that neither Aotu nor Baifeng can pose a threat. Instead, it is Fuyao who can threaten me."
He didn't care what weapons Chen An had, nor did he care how many cores he swallowed.
What he cares about is that among all the current civilizations, only he and Chen An have telekinetic abilities.
"The power of telekinetics is undeniable. I cannot allow another one to exist within my control."
In fact, he didn't know that the telekinetic power Chen An had obtained was very short-lived and not very strong.
"After the second star, I can control the information of all trains with the help of my telekinesis. I will no longer have any rivals."
Just as I was enjoying my happy fantasy, the intelligent computer suddenly gave me a reminder.
"The Fuyao Train recently broke through the two-star mark."
The smile on Luo Da's face suddenly froze, and his face kept changing under the colorful lights, like a clown.
He immediately opened the Star Domain Network and found it very lively.
"It has to be Chen An who quietly rose to the second star level."
"If he hadn't sent the train out to collect resources, we wouldn't even know."
"Why are the trains getting fatter? Shouldn't they be adding more carriages?"
"Who says we have to add more carriages? Can a thin bamboo pole be strong? If it's not wide enough, it will be too long and more vulnerable to attack."
After watching for a while, Luo Da adjusted his expression and sent a video application to Chen An.
The call was connected quickly, and the screen showed Chen An eating in the rest area.
From this perspective, Chen An's face has been modified by Fuyao, and looks mediocre overall.
His appearance would definitely not be revealed easily, but whenever he came into contact with foreigners, Chen An would correct it, and sometimes even make it more outrageous.
"I heard you were promoted to two stars, congratulations!"
Chen An smiled brightly: "Just barely, I feel that the two-star is very ordinary, just a little bigger in size and with a little stronger firepower. You know, a two-star train can break the defense of a one-star."
Luo Da: "How can I know if I can't upgrade to two stars? The previous plan remains the same. I'm still studying more details and will let you know when the time comes."
After a few small talk, the call was disconnected.
After that, Chen An continued to receive communications from train captains. Some of them secretly expressed their requests for asylum, and Chen An basically agreed to them.
The results showed that the number was not large.
"Most people are watching how the situation develops and are not in a hurry to take sides. Let them do what they want, and we just need to continue to strengthen ourselves."
But what Chen An didn't expect was that the second person to be upgraded was not Ling Shuo and Aotu, but Bai Feng.
When Bai Feng was announced to be promoted to two stars, the uproar he caused was even bigger than that caused by Chen An.
[Outer trains are all supporting Baifeng, and there is a possibility of a large-scale alliance.]
Chen An: "That's right. After all, I'm in the first circle. To the train conductors outside, I'm more like an outsider. It's normal for them not to want to form an alliance with me. Stay tuned!"
Another day passed, and Ling Shuo and Aotu made breakthroughs one after another.
The noise they made was greater than that of the White Wind, and many train conductors sought shelter.
As a result, a four-way balance of power was formed in the star field.
Chen An relied on his first-mover advantage to attract fifteen trains, which was probably his limit.
Among them are three-eyed people, werewolves, triangle people, blue bird people and so on.
"Master, according to the information Feiyi and I have obtained, Lingshuo has gathered 29 trains, Aotu has gathered 19 trains, and Baifeng has gathered 49 trains."
"Why are there only nines? Never mind, I won't complain about that. Where are the remaining trains?"
The rest are still watching and may not be planning to get involved. Master, should we let Luo Yu make a prediction?
Chen An shook his head. "Don't worry. The shorter the time, the more accurate Luo Yu's prediction will be. If we predict too early, the future will lose its variables. I heard that the research on crystal worms has yielded some results?"
[Master, please wait a moment]
After a few minutes, a robot brought a crystal worm sample to Chen An.
"Just this big?"
Chen An placed the crystal bug in the palm of his hand, about the same size as his thumb.
The insect looks like a cicada, its body is crystal clear and feels cool to the touch.
[This type of crystal worm can devour energy crystals and repair any mechanical equipment, but it cannot repair trains.]
Chen An frowned: "Swallowing energy crystals?"
The interest that was finally aroused suddenly disappeared.
Thinking back to the characteristics of the crystal worm itself, Chen An couldn't afford to raise it even if it had the best abilities.
We've improved and upgraded the Crystal Worms. They no longer need to consume Energy Crystals to survive. They remain dormant like mechanical equipment, only activating when the warship is damaged. Give them one Energy Crystal and they can work continuously for three days.
[After testing, equipping the Black Thorn robot with ten crystal insects will allow it to self-repair without damaging its energy center, greatly increasing the Black Thorn's utilization rate.]
Chen An became interested.
"So, the little bugs are quite useful. Can you estimate how many crystal bugs would be needed and how much energy crystals would be consumed if all the warships and robots were equipped with them?"
[500,000 Black Thorns require 5 million Crystal Insects. Each Crystal Insect initially provides one Energy Crystal, so a total of 5 million Energy Crystals are required.]
Each frigate or destroyer requires at least 10,000 crystal worms to ensure basic maintenance. We currently have 216 frigates and 50 destroyers, requiring a total of 2.66 million crystal worms, or 2.66 million energy crystals. In wartime, the maximum number of crystal worms can be increased to 100,000.
After hearing this, Chen An took a breath.
