"There are over 5000 resident iris chips, and every time goods are purchased, Fixed Star coupons need to be calculated in and out, including the overflow in today's mining, as well as real-time changes in physical comprehensive quality. All of these consume computing power."

"There are also 80 armed robots responsible for patrol, and the hundreds of robots that follow them."

"I also have to manage the Armor Research and Development Center, replace higher-grade armor materials for Biaozi's 'Executioner' mecha, and handle the debugging of the 'Cosmic Receiver.' I also need to study the experimental data brought back from the Earth Core Nuclear Bomb Laboratory and continue to finish the Train Captain's unfinished experiments with the 'Cosmic Receiver.'

Observing each resident's emotions and violations through the Mechanical Eye and reporting to Old Pig and Biaozi immediately."

"And more..."

"Alright, alright."

Chen Mang lightly coughed and spoke to interrupt: "I know you're working hard. I've noticed how hard you've been working. I'm not refusing to upgrade you. We have plenty of iron ore. I was just asking out of curiosity."

"Well, when we get back, I'll upgrade you to Level 100."

Speaking towards the end.

Ai's voice even had a hint of crying tone.

Calculating carefully...

Ai's workload does seem a bit excessive, but that's from a human perspective. Once you reach Level 100, with increased computing power, you can run more processes simultaneously.

He suddenly felt a bit emotional. What if other trains have so many components, what should they do?

Soon he realized that other trains don't seem to have this problem.

All these things Ai is responsible for.

The other trains don't have...

Iris Chips, Armor Research and Development Center, Cosmic Receiver, Black Hole Armored Robots, currency system...

All these exceed the standard.

At least from all the trains he has encountered, only his train has a currency system. At a stage where resources are not abundant, the currency system simply cannot function.

Just then—

The warrior has been chosen.

"Master Mang, he's willing to try."

"Good."

Chen Mang turned around, looking at the middle-aged man following behind Old Pig, nodded in satisfaction, and was about to say something but paused slightly upon seeing the man, brows furrowing.

"Is this the man who went to open the safe last time?"

"He already enjoys the treatment of a Level 1 resident, right?"

"No," Old Pig nodded, whispered in Chen Mang's ear, "That middle-aged man has a twin brother. This is his brother. It's said they used to work together in another line of business."

"Alright." Chen Mang didn't say much, just took out a Train Order from his pocket and tossed it to Old Pig. "Go on, the task is simple. After activating the Train Order to become the Train Captain, he should go and move all those drones and robots onto the fridge of his train alone."

"Alone?"

"Yes, alone." Chen Mang nodded, after all this move is somewhat akin to seizing an NPC's silver vault in an online game, which is clearly a violation. If there is any punishment, it's unknown if the punishment will be inflicted on the Train Captain alone or will also involve the Train Members.

If one person goes and something goes wrong, the loss won't be too significant.

...

About an hour later.

"It's done."

The middle-aged man, panting and almost collapsing on the ground, while Old Pig jogged over to Chen Mang and reported, "Master Mang, it's all taken care of."

"Mm."

Chen Mang squinted his eyes slightly, patiently waited for a moment, and then gently coughed when there was no response.

"Today, we passed by this place and came across a train full of robots. I don't know what it is, only that treasures belong to those who are meant to have them."

"Old Pig, send people to move the items from this train to the Fixed Star."

"Yes!"

A disclaimer followed.

Not sure if it would be of use, but he said it anyway; speaking some words wouldn't lose a piece of meat.

Soon—

The fridge in this train was all moved to the Fixed Star, and this train was taken by the Earth Core Melting Furnace as a snack. The ones who went down to work were Zhang Yi and Zhang Er. However, at this moment, the two of them looked at Old Pig with resentful eyes.

Just now they had also signed up.

And were rejected by Old Pig.

There were so many neatly arrayed robots and drones.

If they had been allowed to move goods, how cool would that have been? What's more satisfying than this?

Yet it was given to a resident.

If it were up to them, they would have finished long ago! The efficiency would not be on the same level at all.

Now they could only move what others had already moved, which was not satisfying at all. How is this different from washing dishes!

...

The end of this train tunnel located 70,000 meters below the ground only had this one open space.

Nothing else was there.

The overfilled Fixed Star returned to the hole from which it just emerged, going back to the surface. He wasn't ready to explore the Mechanical City area yet; meals need to be eaten step by step, and the journey needs to be traveled step by step. He still had a heap of unfinished tasks.

Returning to the surface again.

The Fixed Star stopped back at its original spot with no mines nearby, and no residents got off the train.

No mining today, just rest.

Upon returning to the surface, the first thing Chen Mang did was upgrade the 'Train Assistance AI' directly from Level 20 to Level 100!

It consumed 1.28 million units of iron ore.

And added two supermodel effects.

-

'Train Assistance AI Level 50 Supermodel Effect': Enhanced logical thinking.

'Train Assistance AI Level 100 Supermodel Effect': Enhanced learning capability.

-

"Comprehensive upgrade indeed."

Chen Mang looked at the 'Train Assistance AI' on the control panel. "Is the computing power sufficient now?"

Inside the train room, Ai's excited voice soon came through.

"It's more than enough. I now feel exceptionally alert, and the train's components only consume 7% of my computing power, practically unused!"

"Let's go, and check the Cosmic Receiver."

Chen Mang stretched, loosened up a bit, then got up from the chair, and headed towards the 'Gate of Space' in Train Car 2, where this Armor Research and Development Center was aptly named.

Ai spent most of the day in there.

Most of his communication with Ai was through 'Train Assistance AI's main interface.

You couldn't see the person but could hear the voice.

Pushing the door open, the sounds of rotating mechanical gears poured in, and several hundred robots were seen there moving their bodies. At the same time, they turned to face Chen Mang and said in unison.

"Train Captain."

"Controlling one will do." Chen Mang slightly frowned. "No need to control so many; it looks a bit creepy."

"Yes, sir!"

Quickly, the hundreds of robots entered a quiet, still state. A uniquely modified robot by Ai walked boldly towards Chen Mang. "Perhaps due to the prolonged time passage, many robots are in a damaged state. To use them normally, complete parts from other robots need to be dismantled for repair."

"Train Captain, follow me."

Ai led the way ahead, walking all the how to the red gigantic device labeled as the 'Cosmic Receiver' and began introducing, "This device is planned to be divided into three parts."

"Receiver, Converter, Condensing Area."

"The Receiver is like those old antennas, place it on the ground level or top of the train. The Converter, this red device will compress the core energy extracted from the cosmos, ultimately transmitting it via pipes to a completely enclosed space."

"When the compressed core energy solidifies in this space, it will form actual iron ore."

"Currently, it can only form iron ore."

"The specific reasons are still under research; it can create Level 1 iron ore, Level 2 iron ore, Level 3 iron ore, Level 4 iron ore. Different levels of iron ore require varying time for upgrading."

"Enclosed, airtight space..."

"Yes, it's akin to the giant glass dome in that laboratory."

Chen Mang's eyes slightly narrowed as he pondered, "The fridge should be just perfect, right?"
