Apocalypse: I Built the Infinite Train-Chapter 239: The Sword of Damocles

Clank—

Hu Lushou slumped into his chair.

He turned to look at his truck, then back at the Gatling guns in front of him.

Before he could even say a word, Lin Xian spoke first.

**"No need to guess. That batch of Xinghuo-26 fully automatic tactical rifles I sold you? I made them myself.

I didn’t loot a military armory—because I am the armory."**

"Holy sh*t!!!"

Hu Lushou’s jaw dropped.

His face was filled with utter shock as he stared at Lin Xian.

"You… your Ability is insane!"

"It’s alright."

Lin Xian’s expression darkened.

He wasn’t in the mood for jokes.

"Alright, your weapons are here. Now talk."

Hu Lushou’s gaze shifted, his expression a mix of hesitation, calculation, and disbelief.

After a moment of contemplation, he waved Sun Chang over.

The two of them stepped forward together.

**"Alright, fine. Honestly, I don’t know much. When I was locked up in that research facility, I went through the same thing you saw—I was forced into the Mad Hatter’s Game.

Only Sun Chang and I survived that round."**

For the first time, Hu Lushou’s usual sly and shrewd demeanor faded, replaced by a grim look.

"So, after getting supplies, you two joined forces and started a convoy?" KIKI asked.

"Yeah."

Hu Lushou’s tone showed clear discomfort when mentioning his time in that facility.

**"At the time, I thought I was dead for sure.

But when I won… they actually gave us a ton of supplies."**

He turned to Lin Xian, his gaze suddenly serious.

**"At first, we were imprisoned in that facility. There were a lot of survivors there.

From what I know, not everyone was subjected to the same experiments as us.

That research lab was twisted—but their studies were highly advanced.

Abilities, Eerie Entities, Human Eeries, Dark Invasions—their knowledge seemed far beyond even the Federation’s underground research labs.

We all had the same suspicion…"**

Hu Lushou’s expression turned dead serious.

"They’ve been studying the Darkness for at least ten years."

Lin Xian and KIKI’s expressions hardened.

This aligned with what Ding Junyi had told Lin Xian inside the lab.

But hearing it confirmed from Hu Lushou made it even more unsettling.

**"That’s impossible. The Apocalypse started less than six months ago.

How could they have been studying it for ten years?"**

Hu Lushou shrugged, forcing a bitter smile.

**"No idea. We’re just speculating.

But a facility that massive, and yet completely unknown to the Federation’s system?

That alone is highly suspicious."**

"Why is that strange?" KIKI asked.

Hu Lushou’s expression grew even more serious.

**"Our Cloud Soaring ship was a military vessel.

We had top-level airspace clearance under the Federation.

But we collided with an invisible sky dome above that facility.

A base that size, and yet it doesn’t exist in our Federation’s system?

You’re telling me they built it in three months?"**

Lin Xian fell into silence.

He had asked Hua Xiaoling about this before.

She had told him that the research facility was once a military project co-developed with the Federation.

Something had always felt off about it.

Now that Hu Lushou pointed it out, it finally clicked.

The wreckage of the Dragon-Class Transport Ship seemed highly suspicious—a Federation vessel should have known about any collaborating research bases in the area.

But now, it was clear—

SIID Foundation wasn’t working with the Federation or Phoenix Society at all.

"As for this Tan Meng woman you’re asking about… I don’t know her. What about her?" Hu Lushou asked.

**"She was placed inside a submersible, sent down into Shijiu Lake as part of an experiment.

Also, as far as I know—she was an Ability User."** KIKI said.

Hu Lushou’s brows furrowed.

He shook his head.

**"What kind of insane experiment is that?

If she won the game, wouldn’t she have left?"**

"That’s exactly why I’m asking you." Lin Xian said dryly.

"I really don’t know." Hu Lushou spread his hands.

**"Honestly, the fact that we were even allowed to leave was shocking to me.

Maybe they saw some other value in her.

I mean, she had Abilities, right?

Maybe she was useful to them.

Or… maybe she was just good-looking, haha."**

Lin Xian’s eyes narrowed.

Now that he thought about it—

That Tan Meng woman was indeed attractive.

She had an elegant aura, plus a flight-based Ability—which could be extremely valuable.

"That’s all you got?"

"That’s all." Hu Lushou confirmed.

"I’ve told you everything I know."

His gaze sharpened as he looked at Lin Xian.

**"I understand now why they wanted you.

Brother, with an Ability like yours, you’re a major asset.

Honestly, you probably learned more than I did while inside that facility.

Did any of this actually help you?"**

Lin Xian stood up.

**"Not really.

Get my supplies ready. Deliver them to the freight platform."**

Hu Lushou panicked slightly as he saw Lin Xian getting up.

**"Hey, hey—wait! Four Gatling guns—you better not back out on me!

A deal is a deal.

We Dragon Nation folk don’t screw each other over!"**

**"Relax. It’s all yours.

If we cross paths again, we can talk business."**

Lin Xian and KIKI turned to leave.

"Wait—wait—wait!"

Hu Lushou suddenly called out to Lin Xian.

**"Hold up! I’m not a fan of one-sided deals.

I’ve got one more piece of intel.

It’s got nothing to do with the Foundation, but trust me—it’s useful.

And I’ll give it to you for free.**"

Lin Xian paused, intrigued.

"Oh? What is it?"

Hu Lushou’s expression turned secretive.

Leaning in, he lowered his voice.

"Do you guys know what Phoenix Society is actually doing in Palma Grasslands?"

"Aren’t they just holding off an S-Class Eerie Entity?" KIKI crossed her arms. "That’s it, right?"

"Not quite."

Hu Lushou smirked.

**"From what I know—this Palma Grasslands operation is actually a large-scale experiment led by Phoenix Society.

It’s part of the Resistance Movement.

They call it...

The Emperor Project."**

Lin Xian’s eyes sharpened.

"The Emperor Project?"

"Exactly."

Hu Lushou’s grin widened.

**"And guess what?

This project involves testing massive human-made war machines—

A superweapon known as...

The Planetary Titan."**

In the darkness, there was no such thing as absolute safety. And with the Dark Mark on him, Lin Xian was forced to make a crucial decision.

Once someone was marked, they couldn’t just keep running. If they didn’t decisively deal with the eerie entities they could handle, the mark would become a Damocles’ sword hanging over the Infinite Train—constantly stacking up, increasing the risk of annihilation. No one could predict whether surviving one night meant the next area wouldn’t bring forth some terrifying, unknown existence because of the mark.

When should they flee? When should they fight?

If they could decipher this pattern of darkness, perhaps the Infinite Train could continue securing peaceful nights—like when they left Rain Town—while reaping great rewards.

But if they miscalculated… they might meet the same fate as the Fireline Convoy, which vanished without a trace—over a hundred people, gone, without even a distress signal left behind.

At this moment, inside Car No. 2, all eyes were on Lin Xian. The air grew heavy with silence.

Hoo…

Lin Xian exhaled lightly, breaking the quiet.

"I’ve made my decision. We take the northern route, pass through Xilan, bypass Abyss Zone No. 5, and enter Quancheng via the Western Gobi."

"The northern route? Is it because of the Phoenix Organization?" Chen Sixuan immediately understood his reasoning.

"That’s part of it." Lin Xian nodded and said seriously, "First, Xilan is the closest Phoenix outpost to us. Aside from dealing with the Dark Mark, we also need to trade for supplies. I have a strong feeling that the Nightwalkers from Parma Grasslands are heading toward Xilan, so if we can establish contact, we might gain critical intelligence on abilities and Eerie Blood Crystals."

But there was another reason—Lin Xian was deeply intrigued by Hu Lushou’s so-called Emperor Project.

A superhuman war machine? Even now, he could feel his Mechanical Heart pulsating with excitement.

And the logic behind it was sound. While humanity relied on abilities to fight back, their core survival strategy had to be industrial technology. Mass-producing mechs and drones was the most practical approach—so it was no surprise that the Phoenix Organization was developing such a plan.

Thus, Lin Xian had deliberately chosen a less safe route. He wasn’t just seeking the Phoenix Organization—he was actively looking to engage with the pinnacle of human technological warfare. Even Hua Xiaoling had once told him:

"Artificial intelligence and advanced technology are the last remaining will of human civilization."

And after acquiring the Fire God Mech, Lin Xian believed in this more than ever.

Ability research was uncharted territory. Genetic evolution was still in its infancy. But mechanical engineering? That was humanity’s strongest and most promising weapon!

"Whoa~" Shasha clapped her hands in excitement. "I heard there are a ton of uninhabited zones up north! Looks like we’re in for a long adventure!"

Shu Qin, who had already scouted the northern exit, reported, "The railway out of the city is clear, though zombies are heavily concentrated in that area. But once we get past the outskirts, the terrain opens up."

Chen Sixuan nodded. "We have enough supplies, so even if we hit a blizzard, we’ll be fine."

She pulled out the travel log and listed their current stock:

"We’ve gathered all the cold-weather gear we need. At two meals per day, our food will last at least 42 days. Plus, we now have a medical pod. Clothing, snow goggles, thermal gear, gloves, masks, protective eyewear—along with hygiene supplies like soap, shampoo, sanitary pads, toothbrushes, and toothpaste—we’ve gathered quite a bit from Hengshan Pass and the research facility. Even recreational items like poker cards, books, and music players."

"Honestly, we’ve got pretty much everything we need."

Lin Xian raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Damn, looks like everyone really covered all the bases."

"What about water?" Ding Junyi suddenly spoke up.

KIKI looked puzzled. "We have a water recycling and purification system on board. Do we really need to stockpile more?"

Lin Xian turned to Ding Junyi. "Director Ding, do you foresee a problem?"

Ding Junyi adjusted her glasses and explained, "I've been monitoring reports on the extreme cold vortex. This blizzard is unlike anything we’ve ever encountered. There are three major concerns:

First, deep snow. Some areas already have over 1.2 meters of accumulation, and with the blizzard intensifying, entire convoys are being buried. Aside from tracked vehicles and our rail-based train, most routes will soon be impassable. Even though we have the Icebreaker Shield, the road conditions and snow depth mean we won’t be able to travel quickly.

Second, unknown lifeforms within the blizzard. Survivors are calling them Snow Wraiths, but no one knows what they actually are or how dangerous they might be. We need to stay on high alert.

Third, dark-contaminated snowmelt. Blackened snow is considered polluted. Even though we have water purifiers, survivor radio reports suggest this contamination is worse than the snow disaster at Dazhu Plateau. I strongly recommend stocking up on additional bottled water in case we lose access to fresh sources."

Her analysis made everyone’s expressions grow serious.

Chen Sixuan nodded solemnly. "She’s right. I’ve had the same bad feeling. This blizzard might be worse than we think."

"Agreed." Lin Xian pondered for a moment. "Let’s store extra drinking water, fill the water tanks, and ration our daily consumption accordingly."

At -40°C, heating would be a critical issue. If the nuclear-powered locomotive failed, Lin Xian’s Mechanical Heart alone couldn’t sustain 14 train cars for more than an hour.

Full-train heating would also increase water loss, making drinking and sanitation water a high-demand resource.

"Alright, let’s proceed as planned."

Lin Xian checked his watch. "We need to move fast. We could be facing another major battle tonight.

"Chen-jie, Shu Qin—you handle the preparations.

KIKI, pick a few people to test the mech synchronization coefficients and run some drills.

I need to finish assembling the electromagnetic railgun and stockpile more ammo."

"Got it!"

"Understood!"

Everyone sprang into action, feeling the storm brewing on the horizon.

Even under the bright daylight, the freight yard camp held little warmth. The biting winds howled through Hengshan Pass, and within a single night, temperatures had dropped several more degrees. The crew of the Infinite Train had already donned thick winter gear.

Lin Xian focused on assembling the G-3 Electromagnetic Railgun's Extreme Energy Capacitor while also reinforcing the train’s seals to retain heat. Ammunition was another concern—between the 1130 CIWS, Fire God Mech, and multiple Roarer K23 Electric Gatling Guns, they were consuming bullets at an alarming rate.

Just thinking about it made Lin Xian feel the immense burden on his shoulders.

With tasks assigned, he wasted no time and immediately began working inside Car No. 2. Though his stamina had only recovered by 40%, there was no time for rest.

No one knew what horrors the night might bring.

Clank! Clank!

In the Manufacturing Plant and Disassembly Center, materials flew out in rapid succession. As Mechanical Heart processed the blueprints, intricate circuits and components were printed with precision, gradually forming a large-capacity energy capacitor.

The unit was bulky, filled with high-voltage wiring, and required substantial materials. Lin Xian even had to install isolation shielding inside Car No. 2 to block ionizing radiation—especially since KIKI and Shasha lived there.

Though the electromagnetic railgun was a power-hungry beast, the Infinite Train’s nuclear engine could handle it. But Lin Xian was already considering backup power solutions.

"I thought we solved the energy issue after leaving Underground City No. 9… but now I’m not so sure."

If the nuclear engine failed, Lin Xian's Mechanical Heart alone couldn’t sustain everything—traction, electric blades, heating, weapons, and the water system had become exponentially more complex.

"We need a secondary power system."

As he built the Extreme Energy Capacitor, he also began manufacturing bullets—pushing himself to multitask.

The glowing blueprints hovered before him as Mechanical Heart worked overtime.

At last—

Ding!

【G-3 Electromagnetic Railgun Extreme Energy Capacitor—Complete】

Lin Xian’s eyes gleamed with excitement. "Finally—!"

"No way!"

KIKI planted her hands on her hips, tilting her chin up proudly. "Chen-jiejie, you’re seriously underestimating me! I’m a genius, you know—I obviously tested it first!"

She raised three fingers in front of Chen Sixuan and wiggled them smugly. "I got a Level 3Unified Control Coefficient rating! How about that? Pretty impressive, huh?"

Chen Sixuan’s almond-shaped eyes widened in surprise. "That strong? What does Level 3 even mean?"

"In simple terms, it measures compatibility and responsiveness. A mecha is still a machine—it’s not as naturally agile as we are. The bigger the mecha, the harder it is to control since it has complex integrated systems. Just one leg alone has multiple engine modules. Achieving precise control requires a high degree of neural synchronization. For example, some people are born with poor spatial awareness or weak motor skills—they wouldn’t even be able to drive a car properly, let alone pilot a mecha." KIKI explained confidently.

Chen Sixuan nodded. She didn’t have a strong grasp of mecha technology, but she could still recognize KIKI’s natural talent.

"KIKI~" Chen Sixuan glanced at the massive mecha in the distance and asked, "So does that mean you’ll be the one piloting it from now on? I feel like using a mecha might be a waste of your ability, though."

KIKI squinted her eyes and waved her hand dismissively. "Ah~ I just do it for fun. I like flying around more than sitting inside a mecha all day."

For KIKI, mecha were just another exciting toy—something fresh and thrilling to play with. She knew her Psychokinesis ability was more efficient on its own, but the real problem was that no one else in the team had a high enough Unified Control Coefficient to be an optimal pilot.

Vrrr—Screech! Bang!

Just then, the Fire God Mecha suddenly came to life, its motors whirring as it moved—stepping forward, retreating, turning, raising its arms—its movements were swift and precise.

After some warm-up maneuvers, the mecha even attempted a sprint—then performed a perfectly fluid jump!

Boom!

Dust billowed into the air as it landed, and the onlooking team members erupted into applause.

"Who the heck is that?" KIKI’s eyes widened as she quickly flew over, with Chen Sixuan following closely behind.

Shhhk—

The mecha landed steadily, and the heavy cockpit hatch slowly lifted open.

A bright, ecstatic face peeked out from within.

【New Pilot Neural Link Unified Control Coefficient Rating: 4】

A metallic voice announced the results as the pilot climbed out.

It was Shasha.

Shasha stood inside the cockpit, eyes sparkling with excitement as she turned to KIKI.

"KIKI-jiejie! I got a Level 4 rating!"

KIKI froze. Seeing Shasha in the pilot’s seat, her jaw practically dropped.

She landed right on the edge of the cockpit, reaching out to pinch Shasha’s cheeks.

"Well, well! You little rascal—you actually scored higher than your KIKI-jiejie?! Who told you to climb in and start testing without permission, huh?"

She pretended to scold her, but her eyes were full of delight. "C’mon, let’s go find your Lin-gege!"

"Aiya~ I was just curious! I didn’t mean to!" Shasha pleaded, but KIKI didn’t listen—grabbing her and practically dragging her toward the train car.

Inside Carriage No. 2

Lin Xian was busy loading newly manufactured ammo into storage crates, instructing the PX-05 robots to carry and assemble them.

Just then, KIKI came rushing in with Shasha in tow.

"Lin Xian! Look who I found—a Level 4 genius mecha pilot!"

Lin Xian raised an eyebrow, glancing at KIKI—then at the person she was pulling along.

"...Shasha?"

"Yep! This little brat is actually better than me!" KIKI huffed.

Lin Xian looked at Shasha. She peeked at him shyly, then quickly averted her gaze, letting out a giggle.

"This Fire God Mecha belongs to the heavy mecha classification. If she scored a Level 4 rating on the test, that’s definitely in the genius tier."

Shasha was only twelve years old, and she hadn’t even received formal mecha training. The fact that she could achieve such a high Unified Control Coefficient at her age spoke volumes about her talent.

"Exactly! So why not let her pilot it?" KIKI suggested immediately.

Lin Xian glanced at KIKI thoughtfully, then turned to Shasha. "Shasha, do you want to pilot the mecha?"

"Me? I’m fine with anything—I’ll do whatever Lin-gege decides," Shasha replied obediently, looking up at him.

Lin Xian nodded. "It’s possible… but isn’t she a little too young?"

"Too young?! Says who?!" KIKI protested. "She’s clearly better than everyone else at piloting! I’m only Level 3! Yuan and Lü Chang are just Level 1 or 2! Shasha is obviously the most suitable pilot!"

She crossed her arms. "You never thought she was too young when she was running around blasting zombies with a grenade launcher!"

Shasha hadn’t expected KIKI to be so passionate about this and quickly tugged her hand. "KIKI-jiejie, I’m not a kid anymore~"

Lin Xian smirked.

He understood KIKI’s real motive completely—she just wanted Shasha inside a heavily armored mecha so she’d be safer in battle.

He could see right through her protective instincts.

But he didn’t call her out on it.

Since Shasha had an exceptionally high Unified Control Coefficient, it was only logical for her to pilot the mecha. In fact, Lin Xian had already been considering it—Shasha was small, agile, and highly skilled with weapons. Having her pilot from the rear for fire support was much safer than letting her run around carrying a grenade launcher on foot.

"Alright. Shasha will pilot the mecha."

Lin Xian made his decision.

"Shasha, spend the rest of the day getting familiar with the controls. Before nightfall, I’ll have the Fire God Mecha fully rearmed."

"Really?! YAY!!!"

Shasha’s eyes lit up, and she jumped up in excitement.

"Good choice." KIKI nodded in satisfaction and winked at Lin Xian. Then, grabbing Shasha’s arm, she led her off to start mecha training.

Halfway there, KIKI suddenly stopped and turned back.

"Wait—since you piloted one last night, what’s yourUnified Control Coefficient?"

"Level 5," Lin Xian replied without looking up, calmly sorting the electromagnetic cannon’s wiring.

KIKI blinked.

Her brain short-circuited for a moment.

Lin Xian looked up at her and said matter-of-factly, "Did you forget my Mechanical Ability? To me, mecha are like wearing clothes—if they aren’t responsive enough, it’s not my problem. It’s a flaw in their power system, drive mechanisms, or materials."

Unified Control Coefficiency was one of the hardest challenges in military mecha technology—finding an elite pilot was just as difficult as recruiting a hypersonic jet fighter pilot.

Even though mecha AI had been continuously improved, robots still couldn’t replace human intuition and skill.

On the battlefield, efficiency in mechanized combat is crucial—especially for heavily armed, large-scale mechas, which need to process multi-situational awareness and handle extreme complexity in real-time engagements.

For this reason, Level 4 and Level 5 mecha pilots are considered priceless assets to the Starfleet.

But this longstanding challenge in mecha piloting was essentially nonexistent for Lin Xian.

The moment his Mechanical Heart enveloped an entire mecha, it was as if the machine became an extension of his own body.

Just like he always said—

"If a mecha fails to execute my commands, the problem isn’t me—the problem is the mecha."

The Mechanical Heart acted as millions of neural threads, fusing with the machine and transforming it into a living entity under Lin Xian’s complete control.

To put it bluntly—

With the Mechanical Heart, Lin Xian was the greatest mecha pilot on Earth.

KIKI opened her mouth, then sighed heavily.

She looked at Lin Xian with a deep, knowing expression.

"Yeah… makes sense. You’re a total mechanical freak."

"The hell did you just call me?!"

"Nothing! Nothing! Let’s go test the mecha!"

KIKI bolted away before he could catch her.

Car No. 2 – Manufacturing &Repairs

The G-3 Electromagnetic Rail Cannon had just been completed.

Fire rate: Once every 15 seconds.

With the configuration finalized, Lin Xian immediately began manufacturing 1130 CIWS ammunition.

At the same time, he used his Mechanical Heart to scan and repair various damages across the train.

The battle from the night before had left some sections compromised, and he needed to seal every gap to prevent cold air leaks inside the train cars.

Just then, Chen Sixuan entered the workshop car.

She knew Lin Xian had been working non-stop, so she brought him a bottle of water and some food.

But Lin Xian was too busy to take a break—

At this moment, he had practically become the beating heart of the entire train, keeping every system operational.

"If we had more of these mechas, it’d be great."

Chen Sixuan’s concern was evident as she watched Lin Xian work tirelessly.

"At least then, you could take some proper rest."

"One step at a time."

Lin Xian nodded toward the ground, where a freshly manufactured Meteor-3 Sniper Rifle was laid out.

He had built it earlier in Car No. 12, but since Chen Sixuan was busy outside, he hadn’t interrupted her.

Instead, he focused on crafting ammo first.

Chen Sixuan’s eyes widened in surprise.

She picked up the rifle, running her fingers over its sleek, polished frame.

"You made this for me?"

"It’s lighter than your previous one. Also comes with an intelligent recoil dampening system—should feel a lot smoother. Try it out."

Lin Xian’s voice was casual.

Chen Sixuan gently stroked the rifle for a moment, then smiled in satisfaction.

"You really think about everyone, huh?"

"That was always the plan."

Lin Xian finally looked up at her.

**"Once we survive tonight, I’ll start equipping everyone with power armor.

It’ll boost both our combat effectiveness and mobility, directly increasing our chances of survival."**

Right now, his team consisted of over 30 members, most of whom were Ability Users or Genetic Evolvers.

By using his Mechanical Ability, Lin Xian could weaponize and armor-up the entire squad, significantly increasing Infinite Train’s resistance against threats.

Moreover—

This would also rapidly level up his [Mechanical Manufacturing] skill, allowing him to research and develop new technologies at a much faster rate.

This was why Lin Xian pushed himself relentlessly to enhance his Mechanical Ability.

Faster Devouring! Faster Manufacturing!

His goal was clear—

To mechanize their entire force and lead Infinite Train into a glorious evolution.

[Mechanical Manufacturing] Progress

Automatic Rifles &Gatling Guns for Hu Lushou

At this rate, he’d hit Level 4 before nightfall.

[Ongoing Mechanical Enhancements]

"Once I hit Level 4, the Research Center should become much faster."

"The Wind Cannon needs an upgrade too."

Lin Xian glanced at the time—

4:50 PM.

Only one hour left before nightfall.

**"Professor Chen, gather everyone for final preparations.

Follow curr𝒆nt nov𝒆ls on fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com.

Have them eat early—dinner at 5:30 PM.

We’ll depart Hengshan Pass before dark, stopping at an open field for better positioning.

The city was crowded before, so there are definitely a lot of Eerie Entities lurking around.

We need to get as far from the city as possible before nightfall—makes it easier to defend."**

"Got it!"

Chen Sixuan nodded and immediately took action.

At the freight platform, all Infinite Train outposts received the recall order.

KIKI also returned the Fire God Mecha to Car No. 11.

Lin Xian watched as KIKI lifted the massive mecha with telekinesis, carefully guiding it back inside the carriage.

He was already thinking about how to store it more efficiently.

KIKI had suggested an ingenious solution—

Using the Starfleet's "Rail Mecha Deployment Carriage" system.

These specialized train cars were designed specifically for mecha transport.

Walls &floors could unfold for deployment.It came with built-in power systems for charging &maintenance.

It was the perfect storage solution—

But KIKI only had photos of it.

Even if he had the blueprints, Lin Xian couldn’t fabricate an entire train carriage from scratch.

At least not yet.

Unless he captured an existing one, he’d have to wait a long time before he could implement such a system.

[Mechanical Manufacturing - LEVEL UP!]

After rapid-fire crafting hundreds of rounds, bombs, and spare magazines—

DING!

[Congratulations! [Mechanical Manufacturing] has reached LV.4!]

Manufacturing Scale &Efficiency Greatly Increased!

The instant the notification popped up, Lin Xian felt the change—

His manufacturing flow became noticeably smoother, his speed doubled, and his resource consumption skyrocketed.

He immediately checked the Research Center—

His eyes widened in shock.

[Updated Research Center Progress]

"HOLY SH*T! From 13 days to 3 days?!"

"THIS is what I call a manufacturing revolution!"

The increased level in Mechanical Manufacturing directly boosted both his efficiency and blueprint research speed.

This was critical for the train’s technological upgrades.

Now—

He could finally start crafting the MK-66 Rolling Arm Missile Launcher from the Dragon-Class Transport Ship scans.

And after that—

It was time to mass-produce missiles as the train’s ultimate trump card.

"Let’s see what this new power armor can do—time for Infinite Train’s First Wave of Mechanical Evolution!"
