114 Chapter - New Technology
However, Bai Cheng glanced at her current iron ore storage and found that the materials were not enough.
There was no other way. After telling Yu Nian about acquiring these supplies, she turned to examine the new technologies she had unlocked this time.
They were the Anti-Sensing Coating and the Detector Station Improvement (Monster Lair Tracking).
Just hearing the names, she could already guess their general functions, but Bai Cheng still wanted to confirm them.
【Name: Anti-Sensing Coating】
【Description: Equip the train with a stealth coating that can temporarily block the perception of monsters. The duration is the same as the cooldown, up to three days.】
【Construction Required: unlimited coins * 999, flame spirit core * 1】
【Rating: The most advanced stealth technology ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) of the Unlimited Train!】
Bai Cheng understood. A two-hour shield would require a two-hour cooldown, and the longest it could last was three days.
To be honest, was this technology useful to her? Bai Cheng was certain it was not, at least not yet.
And this price…
But for other Survivors, it was undoubtedly buying peace of mind, an absolute bargain.
Fortunately, this coating did not permanently block monster perception; otherwise, Bai Cheng would have even less desire to install it.
“Forget it, I can not use it, but I cannot not have it,” Bai Cheng frowned.
After all, she still had to stay in this wretched place for many days, and who knew how strong the monsters would become later.
She was not afraid of not needing this technology, but of needing it.
After much thought, Bai Cheng chose to build it.
As the materials were consumed, the entire train began to heat up and glow red.
In the blink of an eye, a flame pattern running through the entire train appeared like a waistline tattoo, adding a touch of dominance to the originally rigid and simple vehicle.
“Just consider it decoration,” Bai Cheng withdrew her gaze, not paying too much attention.
Next, she looked at the Detector Station Improvement technology.
【Name: Detector Station Improvement (Monster Lair Tracking)】
【Description: After improvement, the Detector Station can no longer only detect Survivor trains. Monster lairs within a 10km radius will also be marked on the map.】
【Construction Required: flame spirit core * 1】
【Rating: Foresee danger in advance? But you still seem unable to avoid it.】
Bai Cheng glanced at the information on the screen, then turned to look at the intricate tunnels within the cave outside the window.
“This one really doesn’t seem necessary to build?”
Of course, in reality, Bai Cheng’s flame spirit core supply was insufficient.
A total of three buildings and two technologies were unlocked, requiring a total of 6 flame spirit cores, but she only had four.
If the Enchanting Table was not built and the Detector Station was not improved, exactly two would be left, just enough to build the powered railcar.
“Anyway, the travel routes are fixed, so what’s the use of finding monster lairs?” Bai Cheng pouted.
However, speaking of it, the surrounding caves were intricate, and perhaps some monsters were indeed hidden inside.
So, Bai Cheng immediately decided that after dealing with the current matters, she would send employees to explore.
At this moment, Yu Nian also pushed open the door from the carriage behind and entered.
“Xiao Cheng, I’ve traded for all the iron ore; we just need the furnace to finish smelting it.”
After speaking, she continued to show off her achievements: “I even traded several Train Cores for three whole boxes of coal, but the demand still outstrips the supply!”
Yu Nian was confident that she could fill the entire train with coal in a short time.
Ultimately, it was also because Train Cores could only be obtained by killing Survivors, and this goal could only be achieved at specific Stations.
Yu Nian’s talent allowed her to restore them with almost zero consumption.
And what Frigid Snow Mountain lacked least was coal.
“Good,” Bai Cheng nodded, “Let’s take advantage of these few days of rest to stockpile more supplies.”
Bai Cheng had long discovered that the further back the Station, the harsher the environment.
Lava Volcano was already like this; she could not even imagine how difficult the terrain would be further on.
Coincidentally, Yu Nian’s talent could perfectly compensate for material losses, so whenever they had time, the two of them absolutely could not miss the opportunity to stockpile supplies.
Yu Nian handed over a bucket of instant noodles and a pack of bread: “Eat something first.”
After the two of them obtained a massive amount of supplies from the convenience store, they had barely cooked these days.
Just as Scarlet Flame returned, Bai Cheng also handed him two buckets of instant noodles that had already been steeped.
Of course, it was not for Scarlet Flame to eat, but for him to help heat them.
“It would be great if we could have ready-made hot water,” Bai Cheng could not help but complain.
Yu Nian immediately chimed in: “And if we could have a bathroom for us to shower, that would be even better. This wretched place is so hot it’s killing me; I’m sticky all over.”
Soon, the room-temperature water boiled, pouring into the instant noodles and emitting a long-lost aroma.
Scarlet Flame also said at this moment: “Miss, your subordinate has already inspected the surrounding boulders; there’s a lot of silver ore buried.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Cheng also looked outside the train. Almost every one of those boulders exposed silvery-white ore inside, waiting to be mined.
“I didn’t expect the resources here to be quite rich,” Bai Cheng was a little surprised.
She just did not know if there were any other useful resources besides silver ore.
“First, mine all these surrounding ores. After they are brought onto the train, you all go explore the surrounding caves and see if you find anything.”
Bai Cheng said while eating her instant noodles.
Scarlet Flame respectfully agreed and turned to leave the train.
With the current strength of the employees, mining minerals was much faster than Survivors using tools.
In the time it took to eat a meal, the surrounding silver ore was cleared out and all brought onto the train.
Nearly four hundred pieces of silver ore filled almost half of a bronze chest.
Meanwhile, all the iron ore smelted before the meal had also been completed.
Bai Cheng immediately went to the screen and chose to build the powered railcar.
Like the Employee Lookout, the powered railcar was also installed on the roof when not in use, rather than needing to be towed at the rear of the train as Bai Cheng had imagined.
“I thought it would affect the view from the floor-to-ceiling windows in the rear bedroom,” Bai Cheng could not help but sigh in relief at the sight.
However, there were still slight differences in how the powered railcar and the Lookout were installed.
The former could only be chosen for the front or rear of the train, as it was for ease of deployment.
But the front space was already occupied, so Bai Cheng had no choice.
After glancing at the screen information, she immediately clicked to build.
Yu Nian, beside her, was a little puzzled: “Xiao Cheng, what can this Railcar do?”
Bai Cheng showed a slight smile and explained: “It can travel back and forth to special Stations, allowing us to split up.”
“Come on, let’s go see!”
With that, Bai Cheng pulled Yu Nian out of the train to inspect it.
