"What? A 95 percent conversion rate? Don't you know that even the Transmogrifier only has a 70 percent conversion rate?"
Gustav expressed surprise at the question raised by Zhou Zhenfeng.
Tens of thousands of Taf scientists have moved into the research center. At the first seminar, they were shocked by Zhou Zhenfeng's ambition.
Zhou Zhenfeng replied, "Our research into energy converters is aimed at powering trains, not weapons. For weapons, as long as the energy is released, the loss doesn't matter. But trains are so large that even a tenth of a percent loss can have a huge impact. Even a tenth or tenth percent loss is simply too much for the trains to sustain. We'd be better off using stellar energy."
Seeing everyone listening attentively, Zhou Zhenfeng continued, "We can currently increase energy utilization to a maximum of 81 percent. However, if mass-produced and installed within the train, the daily energy crystal loss will far exceed the acceptable threshold. Energy utilization is only the smallest issue; there are also stability, energy purity, and so on. Super energy can be quite violent, so stabilizing it is extremely important..."
The content of the meeting covered a wide range of topics. Chen An watched a part of it and only closed the screen after making sure there was no problem.
He turned to ask Fuyao: "How long will it take to reach the Allah Star Region?"
【Just these few days】
They are about to arrive at the normal star field, where there are resources and complete life stars, but how to distribute them is a problem, after all, the team has 15,000 trains.
Chen An posted the question online and invited other train conductors to discuss it.
"Why don't we split up temporarily! We can divide into three large teams, each with 5,000 trains. Even if we encounter Tedler, we are not afraid, and we can support each other." A train conductor suggested.
If we continue to move in the same way as before, the five normal star fields ahead will definitely cause a lot of conflicts due to uneven distribution.
"I agree with that. Since Tedler won't show up, we'll just force him out. We just have to kill our way through."
There were not many objections. Chen An agreed with this statement and divided the team according to their current positions.
The trains closer to the colorful galaxy followed him, and the trains farther away on both sides formed their own teams and continued to explore outward, temporarily leaving the star network.
"Brother, what if they meet Tedler?" Fei Yi asked.
Chen An disagreed: "Judging from the current situation, Tedler will not show up at all, so don't worry about it."
About two days later, the team led by Chen An officially entered the Allah star field, and the surrounding environment underwent a qualitative change.
The starry sky is brighter, the stars are more dazzling, and occasionally you can see normal life planets with civilized races on them, most of which are mimics.
When traces of the train were discovered, the defenders of these planets rose up in resistance.
More than twenty trains flattened the planet, and the guards were useless.
Next, the train conductors let go completely.
Civilization wars and resource plundering have left nothing behind wherever they pass.
Chen An didn't participate much because what he wanted was not on the Life Star, but the minerals on other resource stars.
During the process, Chen An tried to recruit the mimics on the planet.
It turned out that they were impossible to recruit, as their hatred towards trains was ridiculously high.
Unlike the Tafts, they were not persecuted by Tedler. Instead, they had a morbid admiration for him.
"This thing is almost like a sect. Since we can't recruit them, forget it."
In addition to the Mimics, there are also many slaves of different races, who can be recruited.
They have a deep hatred for the Mimics and have a favorable impression of the train that rescued them.
The problem is, however, that these slaves are of low quality, and taking them as passengers is sheer idiocy.
Chen An was not interested and let other trains that were hungry for passengers collect them.
Over the next two months, 15,000 trains rampaged through five star regions, plundering every resource they encountered.
Without Tedler to take charge, the Mimics were unable to resist and were wiped out one by one.
The train conductors had no mercy on these races and just killed them.
When they arrived near the Jintou Star, Chen An looked back at the previous journey and found that what they did was actually similar to what Tedler did.
"Everyone does the same thing, so there's no need to dislike each other."
Fifteen thousand trains gathered around the Jintou Star, and many of them couldn't even find empty seats.
On this day, the Jintou people experienced the fear of being dominated by a train for the first time, and it was also the only time.
The train conductors discussed for a long time about how to attack and how to distribute the spoils of war, but could not reach a conclusion.
In the end, no one knew who was resentful and fired a few shots at the galaxy.
Then a chain reaction was triggered, and countless lasers shot towards the galaxy from all directions, destroying all the inner and outer defenses.
Even a second-level star-stepper cannot survive this kind of impact.
Three minutes later, all life disappeared from the Jindui Star and everything returned to its original state.
Chen An sighed: "Now it seems that blowing up the research institute was a complete waste of time. Now it has been reduced to ashes."
Not to mention collecting scientific and technological information, they couldn't even find half a complete mimicry, and the entire galaxy ahead was almost blown up by the trains.
With this level of attack intensity, even if Tedler was present, he would have to avoid it.
"Brother An, what should we do next?"
"Who the hell opened fire? Don't you want the level 4 cannon technology?"
"Who knows if there's any technological information? Since Tedler didn't show up, he must have taken it away."
There was a huge argument on the Star Domain Network. Chen An ended it: "Stop arguing. These are secondary issues. Let's move on."
The trains reunited and continued to move along the colorful galaxy.
According to the route, it only takes three to five days to leave.
Chen An was in a good mood that day because the upgraded suborbital gun finally produced results.
The Fuyao Train cannot leave for the time being, so Chen An asks Zishu to drive the Dawn Train to a remote galaxy for testing.
The results show that the new suborbital cannon has the strength of a fourth-level cannon, and its attributes in all aspects are stronger than those of a super-torque cannon.
"Brother, is it still called the suborbital cannon? I think we can change the name." Fei Yi suggested.
It was originally called the sub-orbital cannon because it was weaker than the extraordinary orbital cannon, which can be seen from the word "sub".
But as suborbital guns become more and more powerful, they gradually become comparable to extraordinary rail guns, and even have higher functions. After all, extraordinary rail guns are not commonly used.
After thinking for a while, Chen An did not change his name.
"The name is just a codename. There's no need to change it once you're used to it. Fuyao, focus on upgrading the suborbital cannon. Production of the super-torque cannon is suspended."
To be honest, Chen Anding really wanted to stay in Colorful Galaxy for a few more months.
But considering the distance ahead, he had to join the main group.
Four days later, the train left the colorful galaxy, and the starry sky ahead gradually became barren.
"Have we reached the Mimicry Restricted Area?"
[Not yet, it will probably take several days to drive]
Since it is a restricted area, it means that it is not friendly to mimicry.
As it got closer, the gigantic mimic on the car became agitated.
They cannot enjoy the environment inside the car and are very dependent on the energy of the starry sky outside.
