"Wealth Star", Placent City No. 1.
This place was once just a gathering area built for the initial adventurers, but later, as more people arrived, it has beco a city.
It attracted a large number of Train Captains who ca to adventure, as well as secondary traders.
The round-trip travel cost is 60 billion.
Many people decided not to return after arriving and stayed here, planning to go back only when they saved enough for retirent. Many treasures brought back from adventures were directly sold to the city’s secondary traders.
As more people gathered.
There had to be service facilities.
A large number of people ca over, with catering shops, convenience stores, and others popping up. These people were mixed among the Coachman’s train passengers, resupplying supplies and so on, all using the Coachman’s train.
And so it went.
Although the environnt was rather harsh, a planet was gradually developed.
This is humanity.
Sotis you have to admit, the human race seems to have a bit of talent in exploring the universe, always able to build a city in the most difficult environnts.
After the shuttle brought them to this planet, it left.
The train also began to dismantle.
Dozens of trains were reassembled back to their original positions. The "train" did not have the function of multiple trains combining, so it could only use a relatively primitive thod, tied together with steel bars and the like, which naturally was not sturdy and couldn’t withstand too high speeds.
"Detected."
Inside the train, Ai’s voice sounded: "Pulupulu said that the planet is currently 867,000 kiloters away from us."
"At the current speed of the Fixed Star train, if we go full throttle, it would take about 14.2 hours."
"That’s not too far."
Chen Mang nodded thoughtfully. If the Fixed Star train went full speed, it could reach over 60,000 km/h. He once upgraded this "Nitrogen Tail Spray" green-grade component to Level 200.
Just this component alone provided the train with a speed limit of 51,000 km/h.
And the Supermodel Effect can absorb core energy drifting in the universe, greatly reducing the energy consumption during the train’s travel, estimated to reduce energy consumption by 99.9%.
Allowing the train to travel in the universe with almost no energy expenditure.
Almost like a perpetual motion machine.
This speed was already very fast.
But...
He could go even faster!
He has another acceleration component, which is slightly higher in grade, a yellow-grade component, "Super Tail Spray."
After consuming 1.3 billion units of iron ore, he upgraded it from Level 100 to Level 200 in one go!
This component was powerful.
Increased the speed limit by 102,000 km/h.
And added a new Supermodel Effect—
-
"Super Tail Spray Level 200 Supermodel Effect": Can absorb core energy drifting in the universe, greatly reducing energy consumption during the train’s travel, estimated to reduce energy consumption by 99.9%.
-
"The Supermodel Effect is sowhat average."
It kind of overlaps with the Supermodel Effect of the "Helium Tail Spray."
With the stacking of the two Supermodel Effects, the Fixed Star train’s iron ore consumption during its travel in the universe was almost zero, but not completely zero.
Under the effect of this component.
The Fixed Star train’s maximum speed now reached 163,000 km/h, which was already an extrely exaggerated speed.
"Ai."
Chen Mang smiled with satisfaction: "Help convert, how many kiloters per hour is the speed of light? Let’s see how much I’m lacking; I feel like in my lifeti, I might try approaching the speed of light."
"Okay, the speed of light conversion is 1.08 billion km/h, roughly 6,621 tis the maximum cruising speed of the Fixed Star train. It took about nearly three years for the Fixed Star to develop from zero to now."
"If the Fixed Star can make steady progress every year."
"In about 18,000 years, it could approach the speed of light."
"..."
Chen Mang was silent and expressionless; talking about the speed of light didn’t seem to resonate, but once converted into units, it beca more intuitive.
It seems that for traveling in the universe, wormholes are necessary.
Relying on speed alone simply won’t work.
Not to ntion, even if you really had the speed of light, it would still take a lot of ti to travel, barely keeping pace with the expansion of the universe. The speed of the universe’s expansion is approximately the speed of light.
Therefore, the speed of light is also a way to balance the universe.
Theoretically speaking.
When your speed surpasses the speed of light, you could exceed the universe’s expansion speed, then you might have the opportunity to break out of the universe and see what the places not swallowed by the universe expansion look like.
But this is only theoretical.
...
The Fixed Star did not linger much on the "Wealth Star."
But after detecting the specific coordinates.
It sailed into the Star Sea with the Philia Pirate Group.
After slowly cruising for about an hour or two, it arrived in an isolated zone where there were no other trains, and it was relatively quiet here, with no debris flying around.
Chen Mang then released the "Black Tortoise Star", parked all the trains of the Philia Pirate Group on the planet, and then retracted the Black Tortoise Star back into the train.
The entire process seed nothing special from Chen Mang’s perspective.
But for the residents living on the "Black Tortoise Star", it was no less than a disaster. The sun disappeared for a while, leading to extre night, then suddenly reappeared, it was like witnessing divine power.
After completing all this.
Chen Mang pushed the lever to the end, and the Fixed Star train rushed towards the target point at breakneck speed, arriving successfully in just over five hours.
Ahead.
Was a star freely drifting in the universe.
The Target Detection Radar detected no signs of life.
