Chen Mang paused for a moment, then pointed to the time on the control panel's screen and softly said, "Doba, from the moment you entered the time rift until you returned to the train cabin, a total of 3 minutes and 27 seconds passed."

"3 minutes?"

"There should be a time flow difference," Ai, standing beside, spoke up.

Quickly.

Doba clearly recounted everything he encountered.

"..."

After listening, Chen Mang remained silent without speaking, just leaned back in his chair, rhythmically tapping his knuckles on the table, Adventure Map? Is the endpoint of the time rift an Adventure Map? And encountered another Train Captain?

So...

Can the time rift be understood as the entrance to some Adventure Maps?

It's just not a formal entrance, but rather a form of smuggling?

After a long while.

He finally shook his head, stood up, smiled, and said to everyone, "The answer to the time rift has been found, maybe not the final answer, but at least there's a preliminary conclusion."

"Now, let's give a round of applause to the pioneers of this exploration."

"It's because of their existence that the Fixed Star can continue to advance."

In the train cabin, applause from Biaozi and others resounded loudly.

Doba, who was about to say something else, was slightly stunned when he heard the applause in his ears, saw Master Mang's approving gaze, and the admiring looks from Biaozi and others. His body instinctively straightened, and his mouth uncontrollably grinned to his earlobes.

"It's deserved, it's deserved..."

"Old Pig, remember to record the deeds of Doba and that man, those who dare to be pioneers, and make it well known."

"Understood."

...

The batch of items Doba brought out wasn't any components but rather some steel fragments, like they were dismantled from some abandoned instruments, taken by Ai to the Armor Research and Development Center for study.

At this moment—

The time rift in front of the Fixed Star train was visibly shrinking until it disappeared.

The next moment!

"Beep beep beep..."

The familiar sound rang inside the train once again, the Target Detection Radar resumed normal usage, revealing all the people hiding in the city ruins.

As expected.

The severe signal interference in this city was due to the existence of this time rift.

"..."

Chen Mang glanced at the screen of the Target Detection Radar, seeing tens of thousands of survivors, raised his eyebrows slightly, not expecting so many survivors hidden in the city.

The door of Guard Carriage No. 7 immediately opened, and Biaozi and others flowed out again to start collecting resources. This time, collecting resources was much simpler, as if they had installed a full map cheat under Ai's guidance.

He had no intention of taking these survivors away.

These survivors probably had been hiding since the Doomsday, and taking them now would lead to strong resistance emotions, which he was reluctant to deal with. The Fixed Star had enough people now.

Even if new residents were to join, it should be slaves from other trains.

Only with such a comparison could people realize how good the treatment on the Fixed Star was during the Doomsday and integrate better into the Fixed Star.

...

After three hours.

The Fixed Star embarked on the return journey, speeding up to a maximum speed of 5040 km/h, began charging and sweeping through the "Stone Man Region," with the Target Detection Radar continuously scanning for the "Grinning Train."

He hadn't forgotten about this cheating guy.

Although this area is vast, but...

At the speed of the Fixed Star, finding a train doesn't require much effort.

Sweeping through one by one!

"Level 4 Iron Mine, Level 4 Copper Mine..."

The Resource Detection Radar occasionally picked up either unexploited or exploited level 4 mines, which appeared relatively frequently in the purple zone, and weren't hard to find. A level 4 mine generally contained 10 million units of iron ore.

Only in regions of this level can defensive components be upgraded.

But it seemed tough.

After all, for anyone who wanted to maintain a relatively larger number of train carriages or higher component levels, the consumption of upgrading components was calculated in billions.

The train didn't stop.

Only recorded these locations.

And continued searching for the Grinning Train.

About two and a half hours later.

Found it.

On the Target Detection Radar screen, the "Grinning Train" was located in the wilderness, seemingly resting. The speed gradually slowed down as it approached, with no intention of crashing into it again because at such speed, the Drill could directly smash that train!

But...

His external components couldn't withstand such an impact.

His iron ore was only a few hundred thousand, better off using copper ore, which still had close to 20 million!

Soon.

The corresponding component information of that train appeared on the control panel screen.

-

"Level 14 Mechanical Train": The highest defense component is the Level 11 Star Ring Energy Shield, and the highest attack component is a Level 14 Comet Main Cannon, other special components... It has a red-grade component "Space-Time Teleportation," which can be activated once daily, and upon activation, a teleportation gate will appear in front of the train, teleporting it to any corner of this area... Overall threat assessment, zero.

-

When only a few kilometers away.

The Fixed Star train slowly came to a stop without any signs, and 9 Doomsday Cannons locked onto that train, in the roaring sound, a sky full of shells under the afternoon sun drew a beautiful arc in the air, engulfing the train.

Then—

A line appeared on the control panel surface.

"Detected incoming firepower attack, expected to arrive in one second."
