Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 173 - 168 Train Upgrade Plan 1 (Request for Monthly Tickets)
Chapter 173: Chapter 168 Train Upgrade Plan 1 (Request for Monthly Tickets)
"Oye!"
KIKI cheered, "Finally, it’s time to upgrade the train."
Although people with Shu Qin knew that Lin Xian had mechanical superpowers, they were still somewhat bewildered when they heard him talk about upgrading the train.
Lin Xian’s heart stirred, and then he raised his right hand, his palm lit up. Various materials flew out, coalesced, molded, forged, and assembled into one!
Clang clang clang!
A Roarer K23 Electric Revolving Gun was magically forged out of thin air and fell on the ground in front of the building.
"Building, here’s your new toy."
Watching this miraculous scene, everyone in Shu Qin’s convoy was shocked; such a Gatling gun was nearly a superweapon for the convoy, usually only seen in medium to large fleets.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xian merely lifted his hand and ’transformed’ one out, truly stunning everyone.
"Wow!"
Sha Sha and Lu Xingchen stared dumbfounded, Building’s eyes widened, and he bent down to pick it up from the ground.

The heavy feel, six-barrel muzzle bearing a destructive aura, coupled with Building’s tower-like stature, instantly presented a war-god-like posture.
"Bro! That’s so cool!"
"Heh," Building licked his lips, joyfully holding the deadly weapon, and said to Lin Xian, "Thanks, Brother Xian."
"Thanks for what." Lin Xian then pointed towards the Infinity, "Now that we have the time, let’s properly upgrade our fortress train—fit it with weapons and renovate the compartments. With so many people, shouldn’t we make our living environment a bit better?"
"Awesome!" KIKI excitedly said, "My compartment No. 2 also needs to be upgraded."
"Captain Lin."
Shu Qin looked joyous: "Just tell me anything you need."
Lin Xian nodded, "Take people to remove anything useful from the train, including your own, then have Teacher Chen take stock of everything."
"Understood, I’ll get on it right away."
Lin Xian then looked towards Lu Xingchen, "Fire God, you take a few skilled people to find some spots with good visibility here for sentry duty. If there are any zombies or other troubles, start clearing them out."
"No problem," Lu Xingchen said puffily, "Leave it to me to handle."
"Building Sha Sha, you two compile all the weapons and ammunition." Lin Xian pointed to an empty spot, "Let’s sort out our firepower."
"Okay, Brother Xian."
"YES!" Sha Sha got spirited.
"The rest of you help me clear out those passenger carriages, girls, Teacher Chen, let’s re-plan the compartments."
"Sure," KIKI and Chen Sixuan agreed.
Lin Xian looked at the Infinity; now that he had the manpower, the time, and the location, such an opportunity was rare, and of course, he needed to seize it to upgrade the vehicle thoroughly.
At Lin Xian’s command, everyone started to take action.
This time, he planned to start with upgrading the combat carriages, the carriage doors, the elevator platforms, as well as the Outer Armor Electric Blade Device, the Sentinel System, and the 1130.
In carriage number 2, Lin Xian, KIKI, and Chen Sixuan were studying the layout of the carriages on the computer.
"Giant Whale 03E heavy-duty gas turbine locomotive as the head, and Gemini 11R Nuclear Power Electric Locomotive as the tail, these two remain unchanged, but there are two problems that need to be solved."
KIKI pointed to the rough model diagram of the train on the computer and said, "It would be best to connect the control system of the nuclear-powered locomotive to my station to facilitate my monitoring of the entire train’s operational situation. Then integrate the Sentinel and radar systems with water, air, heating, electricity, and information systems—woo-lah—our Infinity becomes a smart train."
"And the second problem?"
"That’s, of course, the armed firepower." KIKI pointed to the last carriage, "After adding 5 carriages, excluding the power train set, we now have 12 carriages. With such a long train, we can’t just run around with a walkie-talkie like before when we encounter danger, especially with this nuclear-powered locomotive that needs protection. So I think it’s best to convert carriage number 12 into a weapon station, where you can install the 1130 Close-in Weapon System."
Lin Xian nodded, KIKI’s idea coincided with his, "That’s what I had in mind too. With more people, if all goes well, our nuclear-powered carriage will normally be shut down, and converting carriage 12 into defensive carriage can also protect our power train set."
"Should we add multiple protections like Dragon Mountain No.1 did?" Chen Sixuan said, "I observed the arrangement of the carriages of Dragon Mountain No.1 last night; both light and heavy firepower and air defenses are evenly distributed, basically covering the entire train."
"Right, that makes sense; let’s do that. Convert carriage number 5 into a flexible defense carriage, add a lifting Gatling Gun on the roof as well as a personnel entrance and exit. Building Shasha and Lu Xingchen guarding the middle section should be no problem."
"Eh?" KIKI widened her eyes at him: "I thought you were going to install another 1130."
Lin Xian looked at her speechlessly, "Do you think I am a mobile arsenal that can manufacture on demand? Just that one alone, I don’t even know if I can get it out by using up all the materials in this repair workshop, and you still want me to make two."
KIKI stuck out her tongue, and sneakily glanced at him: "Is that all the stock you have?"
Lin Xian: "..."
That sounded a bit odd.
"By the way." KIKI pointed at the roof: "Didn’t you promise to also make a weaponized roof for carriage number 2?"
"I was planning to."
Lin Xian said gravely, "I’m planning to install a G3 electromagnetic railgun and a bulletproof shooting cabin at the front."
"Wow, really..." KIKI’s eyes lit up, ready to stand up, but her expression suddenly changed, pointing at Lin Xian, "Is there a but?"
"But..."
Lin Xian smiled, "It’s still the same, I can only get the bulletproof shooting cabin done first; the electromagnetic railgun will have to wait because of material issues."
With the Preparation Center, material issues were theoretically solved, but only theoretically. When it comes to high-grade materials like level 2 or 3 materials, if Lin Xian could only use low-grade materials for conversion, the efficiency was poor, and the output was not much. It would take quite some time before he could gather enough materials for the electromagnetic railgun.
"Also, if we install the electromagnetic railgun in carriage number 2, your living space will be much smaller," Lin Xian shrugged. "After all, it’s bulky, and for safe travel, we definitely need an embedded lift platform installed, along with an Extreme Energy Capacitor Device set beneath, which will occupy a significant amount of space inside the carriage."
"What does it matter?"
KIKI sat on the swivel chair with an indifferent expression: "Sha Sha and I just sleep in a bunk bed; most of carriage number 2 is empty. With nearly 30 meters in one carriage, we don’t need so much space."
She said, giving Lin Xian a disgruntled glance: "Do you think we are like you two, loving to fuss over things?"
Chen Sixuan didn’t expect KIKI to suddenly blurt out such an off-topic remark, and her face turned red immediately: "What are you talking about, aren’t we discussing serious matters..."
Lin Xian smiled helplessly: "Okay, then let’s arrange it in carriage number 2, the server, drones, Sentinel System, central control of the nuclear-powered locomotive, I’ll integrate everything here for you, satisfied now?"
