Many were carried out from the carriages, even including lots of tools for maintaining the carriages that were prepared in advance.
"These are plans we procured from Silent City, which cost us quite a bit."
In the distant snowstorm, Ning Jing, who was overseeing the overnight maintenance of the carriages, saw Lin Xian on the top of Infinity manufacturing armor plates and looked towards Dragon Mountain No.1, then walked over to chat casually with him.
After speaking, she looked at the massive armor plates in Lin Xian’s hands, showing envy in her eyes.
"These factory-standard castings can’t be made without large equipnt. Most of the survivors’ external armor is just whatever ready-made materials they can find and attach. Captain Lin, your superpower potential is comparable to a whole industrial cluster."
Lin Xian exhaled a breath of cold air, squatting down, showing interest in the Silent City Ning Jing ntioned, "I heard that Silent City collaborates with the Phoenix Society, and now they’re growing increasingly powerful by producing industrial products in the apocalypse?"
Ning Jing nodded hearing this, "Yes, before when Silent City passed by the Wei River, they had a trade with us, and it was there we got so intelligence. We learned that the ergency team from the Phoenix Society encountered trouble there, so we temporarily changed the route and retreated to Hengshan Pass, rerouting through Xilan City."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xian furrowed his brows slightly, recalling what Zhou Wuer said about Bai Shuang’s leader’s mishap, but then he had a question.
"Passed by the Wei River? Silent City sounds like a convoy?"
Ning Jing looked at him, "No, it’s a city, a mobile chanical industrial city."
"What?!"
Lin Xian was greatly shocked; hadn’t he heard previously that Silent City was a ship?
Ning Jing seed to anticipate Lin Xian’s expression and said imdiately, "We were also very surprised when we first encountered it. It’s said that the city possesses a tri-modal movent capability across sea, land, and air, and now mainly shuttles between the uneaten regions of Star Abyss, collaborating and trading with various organizations and alliances. It has a complete industrial system on it and is a chanical city that can accommodate tens of thousands of people. Our strong magnetized all-terrain drive module was modified by them. Besides, we also procured a lot of weapon upgrades and carriage design plans..."
"Mobile arms dealer, huh?" Lin Xian was a bit intrigued, "Interesting."
Ning Jing shrugged helplessly, "The whole world is already like this; all these marvelous constructions are rely for survival. Even Floating City may not be safe now. However, industrial products indeed have beco scarce commodities, yet are essential for survival, which is why I said your ability is comparable to an entire industrial chain cluster, having enormous potential."
"Potential must survive to be useful."
Lin Xian said noncommittally, continuing to manufacture armor plates, "Right now, it’s challenging enough just to sustain life with our weapons, and it’s not about quantity but quality, facing the darkness—it’s an unknown, a generation gap, sothing indescribable, incomprehensible, unsolvable."
Ning Jing let out a complicated sigh, "...Just hoping we can find a way to break the deadlock before humanity disappears."
...
Lin Xian quickly calculated; over thirty armor plates need to be dismantled from the entire train. Apart from the ones on top that don’t need replacing temporarily, he plans to completely replace both sides with new ones. That way, the whole train would have integrated armor plates, in a fully sealed structure.
The windows and doors can be automated for opening, and once the upgrade is complete, the protective level can be enhanced by several levels.
Besides this, Lin Xian also scanned the arc pulse string vibrator that Dragon Mountain No.1 sent them. He plans to replicate it and then apply it to all carriages, thus achieving an effect similar to the all-around close-in defense electric field on Queen Mo. Combined with the Electric Blade Armor System, the external protection of the whole train would have attack capabilities, gaining so breathing room against the Monster Tide.
Then there’s the equipnt inside the carriages, which have also been severely tested under extre cold weather, including the heating system, de-icing, circuitry, and cabins, among which the primary issue is the overall drive problem.
Lin Xian is now quite troubled by the drive problem; this modification is an especially complex and enormous project in terms of labor, and just thinking about managing it manually seems hopeless. The teammates on Infinity, including Da Lou and others, can help with welding, dismantling, and maintenance, but solving the whole train’s modification is out of the question.
This massive revamp is no less than remaking the train itself. Lin Xian thinks perhaps upgrading at Silent City might be a more straightforward solution. Another option could be Monica’s type of integrated Doomsday Train.
Thinking of this, Lin Xian grew more intrigued by that Monica’s Queen Mo.
"I’ll go check it out tomorrow..."
Regarding the Superpower User test organized by the Nightwalker Organization, Lin Xian agreed to Zhou Wuer to attend, and he also thought it necessary for the others on the train to see it. What Lin Xian cares more about is whether it can aid his teammates in their growth. He noticed that after having the Hell Black Chrysanthemum’s conversion of Dark Power, the growth speed of the train’s team mbers seed to have accelerated significantly.
Especially Shu Qin, Chen Sixuan, Lv Chang, and Miao Lu, these Genetic Evolvers, whose rate of physical evolution is astonishing. Take Miao Lu, for instance, this little girl purely by personal ans can even crush that Feng Yuming he encountered before in Beiwan County.
That was still an Evolver with shapeshifting monstrosity after evolving. In a short ti, the evolution and growth rate of humanity are increasing at a rapid climbing pace.
