After the train started and ran for more than a hundred kilometers, Yu Qian'an found that something was wrong. A sandstorm had started outside since the 25,000-kilometer mark. After a hundred kilometers, the sky was full of yellow sand, flying sand and stones, and the whole sky was like dusk.
Jia Xu came over from behind and said, "The glass windows of the rear breeding carriage are fine for now, but visibility is affecting plant growth. I've already turned on the supplementary lights."
Yu Qian'an asked, "Where are the rhinoceros beetles?"
Jia Xu: "There's no problem with the rhinoceros beetles for now. They seem to be very well adapted to this sandstorm environment, but feeding them is a bit of a hassle.
I wonder how long this sandstorm will last?"
Yu Qian'an: "Everyone, please take turns to be on guard. I'm afraid some monster might pop out of this sandstorm."
Jia Xu: "Don't worry, Boss. Zilong is on guard."
Yu Qian'an came to the front of the train. As the sandstorm grew stronger, Yu Qian'an felt the train shaking slightly. If Yu Qian'an's train was shaking, wouldn't the trains of others be blown away?
Sand had already accumulated on the tracks, submerging the sleepers. Yu Qian'an frowned and slowed the train down: "The wind is so strong, the tracks are buried. Going too fast might cause a derailment, which would be troublesome."
Jia Xu didn't know how to drive a train, and neither did Yu Qian'an, but it was safer to drive slowly so that he could respond to emergencies at any time. Yu Qian'an slowed down to 100 kilometers per hour, and the train stopped shaking, and Yu Qian'an breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this speed, it would take twice as long to reach 29,000, right?
I don’t know if this sandstorm is temporary or a regular occurrence?
Yu Qian'an: "Wenhe, go ask if anyone else in other areas has encountered a sandstorm, or has encountered one before."
After running another 500 kilometers, the sky was no longer dim, but completely black. Yu Qian'an reduced the speed to 80 kilometers per hour again. The sand had buried half of the railway tracks. Yu Qian'an only saw two iron rods laid on the sand extending into the unknown distance.
Jia Xu: "Boss, isn't it too dangerous to drive like this? No one else has encountered a sandstorm, and no one has ever encountered one."
Yu Qian'an: "That's probably a fixed natural disaster that will happen 25,000 kilometers from now. We can't stop even if it's dangerous, otherwise we will definitely be buried in the wind and sand."
Jia Xu: "Even with the train headlights on, visibility is less than 50 meters. It's impossible to tell what the enemy looks like or where they're coming from.
But don't worry, boss, Zilong said he can handle it!"
Yu Qian'an: "Alright, this sandstorm will increase the wear and tear on the vehicles, especially the wheels. Our biggest advantage, speed, is gone. I'm afraid this sandstorm is targeting just one of us."
Jia Xu: "Boss, don't worry. In my opinion, this game follows the Way of Man, not the Way of Heaven. It doesn't pursue absolute fairness. The Way of Heaven is to take from the rich and give to the poor. The Way of Man is different. It takes from the poor and gives to the rich.
In this game, the strong will always be strong, and the weak will perish. This sandstorm is definitely not designed to target us.
As for the speed impact, if we are affected, others will definitely be affected as well."
Yu Qian'an: "What you said makes sense. I'm worried that extreme weather conditions like this will continue to occur in future games, such as sandstorms, hail, blizzards, snowstorms, avalanches, heavy rain, floods, and so on.
That way it would not only test everyone's ability to kill the enemy, but also the train itself."
Jia Xu: "So the boss's plan to strengthen the trains is far-sighted!"
Yu Qian'an: "Haha, you know how to flatter? Ignore everything else for now. I'm going to take a nap first. Wake me up if you need anything."
Yu Qian'an had just slept for an hour when Zhao Yun woke him up. Yu Qian'an thought something had happened, but Zhao Yun bowed and said, "Boss, get up and start training."
Yu Qianan got up, washed his face, and tidied himself up. He looked outside and saw that the sky was still dark: "It seems that this sandstorm will last for a long time!
But there is good news: without the sun, the temperature has dropped.”
Jia Xu: "I built a white carriage in the back for some testing. I estimate that a white carriage can only last 1,000 to 2,000 kilometers in a sandstorm before it breaks down. It needs constant repairs or the use of repair scrolls. The wheels also need to be replaced every 1,000 meters. Once the wheels are worn out, the train will not be able to run normally."
Yu Qian'an: "It's not a big deal. We've come this far, and everyone has a few green carriages. The carriages behind us can't be saved, and most of the damage is probably to the planting and breeding carriages. What about our carriages?"
Jia Xu: "There will be no problem arriving at the station, but it will need an overhaul after arriving."
Under Zhao Yun's instruction, Yu Qian'an practiced thrusting with a spear. Because Yu Qian'an's strength was already over 200 points, Zhao Yun directly asked Yu Qian'an to hold a steel stick weighing over 100 kilograms.
Zhao Yun: "Boss, the first stage is to practice to the point where you can lift heavy objects with ease. Once you can wield this steel rod weighing over 100 kilograms, then it will be easy to use the spear.
Furthermore, practicing with a heavy spear first can help you feel the changes in your body's strength and better mobilize the power in your body."
Yu Qian'an: "I see. The first stage is called "lifting heavy things with ease." Is the second stage called "lifting light things with ease?" And the third stage is that everything in the world can be used as a gun?
Zhao Yun: "Well, what the boss said makes sense."
Yu Qian'an: "There was once a sword master, nicknamed the Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai. He first used a sharp sword, then a heavy sword, which had no edge and was very skillful, then a wooden sword, and finally reached the realm of no sword, where everything could become a sword.
I think your spear training should also have such a level of division, right? Zilong, which level have you reached?
Zhao Yun bowed and said, "Zilong, I'm ashamed. If I were to describe my current state of mind, I would only be able to treat light matters with the utmost care."
Yu Qian'an's eyes lit up: "That means you still have a lot of room for improvement! Isn't gold the highest level?"
Zhao Yun: "I still need to work hard. As for the realm above gold, I don't know either. Maybe I'll know when I reach it."
After an hour of exercise, Yu Qian'an's wrists were extremely sore, but Zhao Yun did not let Yu Qian'an rest: "Boss, you should move around and feel carefully where on your body you feel sore.
The sore areas are where the force is not dispersed well, and the painful areas are the congestion points when the meridian force is mobilized.
Feel these places, remember them and try to change them the next time you exercise."
Yu Qian'an was stunned. Wasn't it normal to feel tired and sore after a workout? But how could this even be true for Zhao Yun?
Thinking about it carefully, it was true. Yu Qian'an felt it as he walked. Indeed, when holding a heavy gun, all the strength was concentrated on the wrist. Sometimes the force was completely dependent on the wrist, so the wrist was the easiest to get tired.
The pain points on his body were also what Yu Qian'an often said were caused by stretching during exercise. In fact, it was because the strength of the muscles and bones was not directed to the right place, and the posture of exerting force was wrong...
