Chapter 58 Preparation

Chapter 58 Preparation (Second update, please give me a monthly ticket)

……

On Lin Xian's side, the three of them drove back to the platform, reloaded the jeep, and then returned to the carriage. They then started the train directly. The train engine roared low, the wheels rolled, and began to leave Quguan Station.

"I thought you would stay long."

In the car, Chen Sixuan saw Lin Xian starting the car quickly and asked.

"We can't stop for now..." Lin Xian breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the thick darkness outside the car window. He now needed to hurry up and devour the seized cars and the big train.

He looked at the guns on the ground and looked at Chen Sixuan in surprise.
"Are you learning how to use a gun from Sasha?"

Chen Sixuan was startled, then nodded nervously, "I can't help most of the time. I saw that Sasha could use a gun at such a young age, so I wanted to learn from her."

Lin Xian nodded. It was always good to learn more ways to protect yourself in the doomsday. Now that they had obtained a lot of weapons, Chen Sixuan didn't want to be a vase and hold them back, so she began to learn about firearms from Shasha.

Although Lou Shasha is also a half-baked girl, she is very smart and mature than her peers. She learned from Lou at the beginning, and later she became more and more proficient.

She usually doesn't like to use pistols or rifles, and she carries a grenade launcher all day long. However, she only has a few VOG-25, 40mm howitzers. Although Lin Xian has scanned the drawings, he lacks many materials for ammunition, especially high-energy explosives such as total nitrogen anion salts, and he cannot replenish her ammunition for the time being.

"Bad guy, get that radio station out right now."

KIKI said anxiously.

Lin Xian nodded, took out his radio, opened his mechanical manufacturing panel, and then made a simple frame device according to Jiang Yun's instructions.

Soon, Lin Xian drew the blueprint and covered it with a layer of hard plastic material.

Buzz~ A white light flashed in his hand, and copper sheets and black plastic flew out from the decomposition space, and then quickly formed a radio peripheral frame. Then he took out the strange dark red blood essence.

Everyone looked at it in amazement and then looked at the red bead.

"Is this what the night monster left behind after it died?" Lou Shasha looked terrified.

KIKI picked it up and took a look. "It's icy cold, and there seems to be some energy flowing inside."

"Be careful." Lin Xian reminded, "Since it is not something that belongs to humans, you must be more cautious. Now Phoenix will announce the effects and advantages of this thing, but who knows if there are any side effects?"

KIKI stuck out her tongue when she heard that, and put it back into Lin Xian's palm without trying to avoid it. "That's right, then you should take care of the radio station first."

Lin Xian took it back and directly stuffed the strange blood essence into a slot he had designed in advance, then turned on the radio under the gaze of everyone.

At this moment, there seemed to be a strange energy wave flashing by, making people feel a chill in their spine.

"Zizi..."

"Zizi..."

"Federation... Federal Radio Station YB area reports that there is a strong fluctuation in the spiritual value in the northern foothills of Daluo Mountain. Survivor convoys along the G1523 and X556 routes heading to Yubei and Fengcheng are requested to take a detour. This information was provided by the Federation Phoenix Rescue Organization..."

"Wow, it really works!" KIKI exclaimed
"Zizizi... Zizizi... City warning notice, Yubei City Huanxing No. 1 Port has stopped operating and is blocked by a large number of survivor convoys. Please do not gather in the city. There are a large number of zombies and strange entities in the city. It is very dangerous. It is recommended to take a detour!"

Chen Sixuan, who was standing by, looked surprised and covered her mouth and said, "Lin Xian, it seems that this section of the Jiangyu JY3365 railway line will pass through the northern foot of Daluo Mountain. There will be several tunnels."

"I know." Lin Xian nodded.

"By the way, Brother Lin, if the climbing channel of Huanxing Port No. 1 has stopped, even if our train lowers the horizon traction gate, will it be impossible to use magnetic traction to get on the high-altitude track?" Shasha said with some concern at this time. Huanxing Track is a planetary-level human project built by the federal government on Blue Star. It is not a simple railway track, but a super project that includes sea, land, and high-altitude construction. For example, the high-altitude corridor has not only multiple tracks, but also traction elevators for cars to climb, which are used to quickly cross the Wanyuan Canyon and the Dazhu Mountains for short-distance lanes.

"Don't worry." Lin Xian looked at Chen Sixuan with a burning gaze. "I have already considered this. You don't have to worry about how we will get up there. On the contrary, the risks at the northern foot of Mount Daluo may cause us more trouble."

Sasha looked at Chen Sixuan curiously and found that she looked a little nervous at this moment, but she still nodded to her.

Chen Sixuan naturally understood what Lin Xian was talking about, because she knew that this Giant Whale 03E heavy-duty gas turbine locomotive was designed for the circumstellar orbit in the early days.

Lin Xian's mechanical heart started up, "woooo!", the power turbine at the front of the Giant Whale 03E heavy-duty gas turbine locomotive slowly turned and began to self-check. This design, which was once considered crazy at the time, was mainly used to cope with early high-speed channels or complex sea conditions. After the electromagnetic traction system gradually matured, this gas turbine was gradually eliminated.

Hearing the beast-like sound coming from under their feet, Shasha and Dalou looked at each other, seemingly surprised at Lin Xian's plan.

"Bad guy, listen to this..."

At this time, KIKI anxiously suppressed the voices of the crowd. She tuned to the AM07 frequency band that Jiang Yun mentioned was mainly used by the Wanderers' Alliance. At this time, a man's urgent voice came from the radio station.

"This is the Iron Fortress convoy. Alert those in Quguan, Yuchi, Ping'a Lake, and Congshan East. We have found traces of the Black Crow Four in Hengxi Village. All the survivors here have been slaughtered by them. Convoys nearby must be careful. Reconfirmed, these are four modified mountain off-road vehicles with green and black graffiti and thorns on the wheels. These people are all thugs, and three of them are superpowered. Please be careful, please be careful..."

"Oh my god, 4 people, 4 cars, and 3 superpowers?!" Sasha made a surprised expression, "What a bad guy!"

Lin Xian's eyes darkened when he heard this. He looked at KIKI
"It looks like it's going to be quite troublesome if we go to the underground city No. 9 you mentioned."

"Then you are wrong!" KIKI seemed to have guessed Lin Xian's reaction. At this time, she was busy scrolling through a map on her phone and then showed it to Lin Xian. "Look, this is a branch line that was diverted from Yuchi. It goes around the southern line of Daluo Mountain from Ping'a Lake, but it is cut off here on the map. There is no clear mark behind it. There is a large freight terminal between Yuchi Station and Yubei. There is also a branch line running from east to south. Guess why?"

Lin Xian frowned and looked at Teacher Chen beside him with a look of seeking advice.

"This situation is very common," Chen Sixuan said. "If it is not marked, it may be a military stronghold like Beiwan, or the internal railway line of some enterprises or mines. However, Daluo Mountain does not seem to have many minerals, so could it be..."

"No need to guess." KIKI said directly, "Underground City No. 9 must be near Mount Daluo. Maybe the former federal government hollowed out the entire underground of Mount Daluo. Such a huge project must require railroads as a means of transportation, so if it is a new line, it is understandable that it is not marked or deliberately hidden by the federal government, not to mention..."

She looked at Lin Xian and said, "If we take this southern route of Daluo Mountain, wouldn't it be possible to bypass the area reported by the federal radio station? As for whether it is underground city No. 9, with such a large amount of work, we can find out immediately after a little exploration."

"Um?!"

Lin Xian's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood KIKI's intention. Even if that line was a dead end, he could also retreat completely. This section was only a hundred or two hundred kilometers by car at most. If it was really as KIKI said, with luck he could explore the No. 9 underground city and avoid the strange area reported by the federal radio station.

That’s a great plan!

Lin Xian knew that after entering the circumstellar orbit, there would be many different track areas, including high-altitude corridors, deserts, primitive jungles, uninhabited areas, deep oceans, and star abyss areas. Simple track steel could not solve all the problems, so he had to consider upgrading the power and drive mode of the entire train.

In order to achieve this step, the mechanical heart is the foundation, but mechanical scanning and manufacturing is the key. If he cannot access those cutting-edge technological systems and scan them into blueprints, then he can only make some guns and small appliances by hand, which is useless.

Just like what KIKI said, those power source systems, high-energy weapons, self-armor, and propulsion systems, although Lin Xian had never seen them, just by hearing about them, he wanted to scan down a set of blueprints immediately!
Therefore, he must find a way to explore the federal government’s Underground City No. 9!
"I agree too." Chen Sixuan also said at this time, "But the track conditions in the unknown section may be very complicated, so I suggest that it is best to travel that section during the day."

Lin Xian nodded, then he slowly stopped the entire train and parked the "Infinity" in an open field.

"It's settled. We'll rest tonight. Let's follow the previous arrangement. Teacher Chen, you'll stay on duty for the first half of the night."

If they want to change the route from Yuchi, and it is an unknown section of the road, then it is best to observe the road conditions during the day. Lin Xian plans to devour the last freight electric locomotive first, which may take a long time and physical strength. The Huanxing 7F electric locomotive does not have that much reserve power. Instead of going forward in the dark, it is better to devour the few burdens behind first, conserve energy, and take the unknown southern line of Daluo Mountain after daybreak.

After everything was arranged, several people began to divide the work and cooperate with each other. Those who needed to rest rested, Chen Sixuan and Shasha put the exchanged canned supplies in place, and then began to turn off the lights in the carriages. Lin Xian directly opened the tailgate of carriage No. 5 and came to the last freight electric locomotive, ready to start swallowing this huge guy weighing hundreds of tons!
