My Doomsday Train

Chapter 40: "Train Radio".

The autumn night wind was still somewhat bone-chilling.

After sitting in the wilderness for a while, Chen Mang got up and walked into the train compartment. As he took off his clothes and prepared to go to bed, the corner of his eye suddenly caught the numbers on the console panel seeming to flicker.

"Huh?"

He immediately stepped forward to examine it carefully. After checking around, he found that the remaining capacity of the "Energy Stone" embedded in the train's front had become 61%.

“. . . ”

Chen Mang stared at the number blankly, remaining silent for a long time.

It was still 62% during the day. The train hadn't moved anywhere all day, and the "Car Blade" hadn't been running. How could the energy capacity inexplicably drop by 1%?

Thinking carefully.

The energy stone issue seemed significant, but he hadn't had time to pay attention to it these past few days.

With his current train load, an energy stone could roughly sustain the train at full speed for 100 hours.

When he went to "Taiping City," the train's energy stone had 72% remaining. The round trip consumed about 10 hours, reducing it from 72% to 62%, which was normal.

Full-speed travel for 1 hour roughly consumes 1% of the energy stone.

But . . .

Before he went to Taiping City, he hadn't operated the train to go too far. After fighting the man-eating spider, it consumed nearly 30% of the capacity?

He had always assumed that the "Car Blade" might be an energy black hole, since the energy source for maintaining the Car Blade's constant high-speed rotation was the "Energy Stone" in the train's front.

So, he didn't think too deeply about it.

But today, he hadn't done anything, yet the energy stone inexplicably dropped by 1%. This was a big problem.

Could it be that the energy stone was affected during the battle?

“. . . ”

Chen Mang stepped forward to carefully examine the "Energy Stone" embedded in the train's front. There weren't any cracks. Then how could the energy disappear inexplicably? After hesitating for a while, he didn't go to sleep immediately. Instead, he turned on the newly built accessory, the "Train Radio," to see if he could obtain some intelligence and communication.

He immediately put on his clothes again, sat at the console, and looked at a green button next to the console.

After pressing it, a chat box in the form of a chat room immediately appeared on the screen.

The upper right corner showed that there were 397 people in this chat room.

At this moment, messages were popping up on the screen from time to time.

-

"Bloodthirsty Mad Bull Train": "Has that level 3 man-eating spider from Taiping City left? I've seen that area recently hasn't had much activity. Even zombie wolves are coming out."

"Unlimited Train": "It should have left, right? I haven't been to the unmanned wilderness lately. I've been in the Mohe Hills these days."

"Hell Train": "The Mohe Hills are a good place for logging, but the terrain is too bad. My train can't run on it at all."

"Unlimited Train": "I can't run either. I'm parked on the edge, letting the slaves go deep into the hills to cut down trees and then rush back. The efficiency is quite low, but there's no way around it. There are too few trees in the unmanned wilderness. They're not enough. There are some in the city ruins, but I'm not going to go near Taiping City until I get confirmation that the man-eating spider has left."

"Hell Train": "I remember you have a level 3 machine gun. Why are you afraid of it?"

"Unlimited Train": "Hey, hey, hey, do you know how expensive the shells for a level 3 machine gun are? I'm not going to waste so many resources just to kill a boss. The man-eating spider is a fire-attribute boss. It only drops rare fire-attribute resources and fine spider silk. I don't need either of those right now. Isn't it better to save resources for something else?"

"Bloodthirsty Mad Bull Train": "Then you wasted your effort upgrading that machine gun. If you upgrade it and don't use it, it's just a waste of resources. I'm better off not upgrading at all, like me."

Everyone's code name was their own train name.

This was a chat room that only train captains could join.

The people in this chat room should all be from this wilderness. That is to say, this wilderness has at least 397 level 2 trains. This number is more than he thought. After all, since he transmigrated, he hasn't seen many trains.

After considering his words, Chen Mang entered a line of text in the chat box.

"Stellar Train": "May I ask, will the energy stone in the train's front suddenly lose 1% of its capacity when it's not running at all?"

He was originally worried that no one would reply to him, but he didn't expect these people in the chat room to be quite enthusiastic and reply quickly.

-

"Unlimited Train": "Well, basically no. Because the energy stone in the train's front is basically only responsible for driving the train. Your other vehicle accessories that need energy support are basically provided by the generator. If there is this problem, it should be that your circuit system is not done well, and some vehicle accessories that need to consume energy at all times are connected to the energy stone in the train's front."

"Hell Train": "+1, you should have just been upgraded to a level 2 train not long ago, right? Go and see if the circuits of your search radar or built-in fire control system, which require constant energy consumption, are connected to the energy stone in the train's front? Change the circuit and connect the socket to the generator."

"Bloodthirsty Mad Bull Train": "The circuit system must be built when it is a level 1 train. After upgrading to level 2, it is best to re-lay the circuit so that the energy stone in the train's front is only responsible for driving the train, and all other vehicle accessories are connected to the generator. This is better."

-

“. . . ”

Chen Mang stood behind the console blankly, looking at the circuit system connecting the "Enemy Radar" and the "Train Head Energy Stone", and couldn't help but sigh softly.

It was really like that.

This Old Zhu looked unpopular before. He didn't seem to know about this.

He immediately adjusted all the circuit systems of the "Car Blade" and "Enemy Radar", which required energy support accessories. From then on, all the accessories on the train that needed to consume energy were connected to the generator.

There should be no problem this time.

There should be no sudden drop in energy stone capacity in the future.

This train radio is really useful. If no one told him this knowledge, he wouldn't know when he would have figured it out himself.

-

"Stellar Train": "Thank you, brothers. The problem has been solved. It is really because the enemy radar is connected to the train head energy stone. There is another question. I experienced a battle yesterday, which lasted for less than two hours, and the energy stone dropped by nearly 30%. Is this normal?"

-

It seems that only these few people are currently online in the chat room, and he quickly received a reply again.
