Chapter 53: Chapter 49 Information CenterAt this moment, everyone turned their gaze towards Lin Xian. Lin Xian took a deep breath. After thinking for a whole night, he decided to explain his abilities with multiple powers. "Indeed, I have more than one superpower. Aside from making the train run, I can also repair and create machinery. It’s precisely because of this that I had the confidence to initiate the Infinity Train Project." It’s impossible for Lin Xian to always secretly consume and create machinery. Since they were teammates, it was better to be frank. "If I have the materials and blueprints, I can directly create weapons, equipment, armor—anything related to machinery, I can handle it." The Lou siblings exchanged a surprised look, and Lou Shasha took in a sharp breath, "Wow, Brother Lin, you’re that amazing? I knew I didn’t save the wrong person!!" Lin Xian was now looking at KIKI with interest. "Kiddo, the manufacturing I just mentioned includes the radar system, Sentinel System, weapon system, Defense System, drones, track vehicles, medical, life support systems, powered armor, and so on... Now, do you still think my Infinity Train Project is a pipe dream?" KIKI looked momentarily stunned. She opened her mouth and then, unwilling to concede, met Lin Xian’s smile with a challenge, "Well...even so, can you design and control all these systems by yourself?" "I cannot." Lin Xian narrowed his eyes with a smile, looking at KIKI, "That’s why I need a genius girl like you to join. Without your information center, these things would just be empty shells." Hearing this, a flicker of sly happiness crossed KIKI’s eyes. She playfully glanced side-eye at Lin Xian, with a joyful smile she said, "Aiyo...hearing this today is so satisfying. Alright, if you can fix the heating, then this lady might consider it." "Okay." Lin Xian took a deep breath, glancing at Chen Sixuan and then the others. "At first, I just wanted to build a moving fortress to survive this damn night and apocalypse, but since this train started moving, every day we live in terror and danger. I’m sure we all feel the same—the uncertainty of whether we’ll see the next day, running frantically just to catch a breath, drink some water. The extreme night has killed many people, and those alive are nearly driven insane..." "So I realized, in the dark winter of the apocalypse, this train needs a lot of friends. Only together can we live longer and travel further." "The Star Orbital is 320,000 kilometers. We may not be able to complete it and might not escape the extreme night. There could be countless troubles on the way, but as long as there’s a chance to live another day, I don’t want to give up. As long as I have a bit of strength left, I won’t let this train stop; so I hope that everyone on board considers each other family and faces life and death together." His words were casual and plain, like idle chatter. However, the others’ gazes silently shifted. KIKI put aside her cunning look, staring intently at Lin Xian, lost in thought. Lou Shasha bit her lip, with less fear and more hope shining in her eyes. Brother Lin looked at his sister and then at Lin Xian, nodding his head. Although he said nothing, his gaze became much more determined. And at this moment, Chen Sixuan’s eyes were slightly red. Initially, she relied on Lin Xian solely for self-rescue, but now, hearing Lin Xian reintroduce his plans and thoughts, her heart was deeply moved. For an instant, she even felt that, perhaps starting now, they’d have to live a life of running from disasters, but someday, the sun will rise as usual! "Alright, let’s make a simple division of labor." After Lin Xian finished speaking, he let out a sigh of relief. With the team growing stronger, he also felt more grounded. "Okay!" Sha Sha was the first to raise her hand, her face full of eagerness, "Brother Lin, I can also stand guard at night. Don’t treat me like a child!" Lin Xian gave a wry smile, "You handle that Grenade Gun so well, you’re hardly a child." "Hehe." Sha Sha was quite pleased. "I support this!" Teacher Chen smiled broadly, raising her hand, too. She hadn’t felt so lighthearted in a long time since the extreme night. "Brother Xian, just give your assignment." Brother Lin said. "Me too." KIKI looked at him with a rarely serious smile. "Then good!" Lin Xian nodded, and besides tallying the spoils, he began to assign roles to everyone. Lin Xian and Chen Sixuan were tasked with taking turns driving the train, while Brother Lin was responsible for standing guard when they stopped, and since he also knew a bit about mechanical maintenance, Lin Xian had him help with inspection and upkeep. After all, the train was getting bigger and bigger, and it was not realistic for him to repair everything using his superpower, especially the smaller areas. As for KIKI, Lin Xian planned to redesign the entire train’s follow-up plans with her, and once the radar sentinel system was online, it would add another layer of safety alert. This big gain gave Lin Xian immense confidence in the Infinity Train project, not only for his own expectations of future abilities, but also for the addition of the strong support from the Lou siblings. Lou Ye was honest and straightforward, hardworking and dutiful, and also possessed a strength-enhancing superpower, plus his tower-like physique gave a strong sense of security. With him on night watch, Lin Xian felt much more at ease. Furthermore, he also had quite a bit of knowledge in weaponry and mechanics, making him a very good teammate in both force and skill. Although Lou Shasha was still young, she was mature for her age and very loyal. Lin Xian let her stay with Chen Sixuan and KIKI to help. Now she had her own little bed, and with the protection of the train fortress, she no longer had the tense look from before, cheerfully helping with the train’s maintenance. According to the route, once they passed the mountains, they would soon enter Yu Bei, a major city far from the Star Abyss disaster area and one of the last to enter the polar night, both Lin Xian and Chen Sixuan felt that the situation there would definitely be very complicated. But the train had to pass through the main hub there to enter the real Star Orbital track, and before that, Infinity still had many preparations and systems to be sorted, so the situation remained very grim. The gas turbine train had a steam heating system, and the passenger cabin was also equipped with a warm air system, either of which should have been fine to use. The quickest solution was to connect the electrical circuits and directly use the passenger cabin’s warm air system. However, since Carriages 1 and 2 and Carriages 3, 4 and 5 were of different models and from different eras, and considering Lin Xian’s plans to create a water and air circulation system for the entire train, he simply decided to design a new electrically driven water vapor circulation filtration system with KIKI, which could not only provide heat but also recycle clean water resources through a distillation system, so that clean water was always available in the carriages, and they could even afford the luxury of a bath... The photoelectric observatory and the small phased array radar, KIKI and Lin Xian were planning to install at the front of the train for emergency alerts, while the whole train’s monitoring and sentinel system required a lot more work. First, it demanded a large amount of infrared dynamic monitoring, and also the consideration of external armor, etc. The weapon systems and defense system were even more troublesome. If they wanted to carry a close-in weapon system on the train, they would need not just electricity and maintenance, but also the ammunition supply level of a small armory. But these were currently just Lin Xian’s ideas. Rome was not built in a day, including medical, plant cultivation, oxygen circulation systems, and so on that can’t be completed in short order. So for the time being, Lin Xian helped KIKI set up the information system they had moved from the air-raid shelter command center in Carriage 2, and also sort out the photoelectric observatory and the small phased array radar, as well as... the heating system. Another potential major trouble was the question of how to perform construction and repairs if they encountered damaged railroads, which was a big problem! This issue had been a lingering headache for Lin Xian. Searᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Even if the train was fortified, without tracks... wouldn’t it become a joke? Thus, there were still too many things that needed to be done for Lin Xian, but there were also too many problems along the way. In Carriage 2, where a simple information center with multiple screens was set up for KIKI, after connecting the photoelectric observatory system and the radar system, everything within a 3-kilometer fan-shaped area in front of the train would be detected in advance. However, a response module was needed to help the system identify which situations were critical while moving, so it could issue early warnings and stop the train in time. In this regard, Lin Xian was completely clueless and could only leave it to KIKI. "Zzzzz..." "Zzzzz..." "It’s strange, we should be far from the ionizing influence of the Star Abyss Zone, and it’s daytime, why can’t we receive any longwave signals." KIKI fiddled with Lin Xian’s radio for a long time, sighed, and gave up, saying "What about the network?" "Forget about it." KIKI, wearing headphones and typing rapidly on the system, said in a light tone, "I know the Federation Government still has some communication satellites in orbit, but they have gradually become unsearchable, either damaged or have been added with some special shielding interference." Lin Xian was inwardly astonished, thinking that he was still able to receive calls from Teacher Chen in Jiang City not long ago, and now the communication function was completely gone. Moreover, the longwave radio, which he had high hopes for, was also unusable, which was the most troubling for Lin Xian. In the train, driving through the mountains at the time, could only receive shortwave radio frequencies from within a couple of hundred kilometers around, and being in the mountains, it was basically impossible to receive messages from other survivors. And so, Lin Xian and his group spent the calmest but also the busiest day since leaving Jiang City. The train, drawing on the reserve energy of the electric locomotive, ran from dawn till dusk, and Lin Xian, feeling quite worn out, decided to stop and regroup on a relatively flat plain for safety. After nightfall, all the blackout curtains inside the train were drawn, but from outside, a faintly glowing massive train could still be seen quietly stationed on the railroad tracks, with Carriages 3 and 4 covered in thick armor. However, unlike the original carriages, the armor here was made of common steel, supplemented by a small amount of the remaining high-strength steel he had, which would do for temporary use. After Lin Xian’s assignment, Chen Sixuan like a warm family elder, distributed the allocated food and water along the carriages. Sixuan reached Carriage 5 and found that Lin Xian was not inside but outside on the last flatbed carriage, toying with something that resembled mechanical armor.
