NOVEL NEXT Chapter 322: Train Refitting and Upgrades (Part 3)
Next, Lin Xian divided the remaining main combat forces on the Infinity into two assault teams!
Led by Da Lou and Liang Lei, the two warrior-like War Gods, as Assault Team One and Assault Team Two, each team consisted of about 50 people. They were all equipped with Lone Wolf S tactical power armor, personal arc pulse guns, Roarer K23 electric revolving guns, Thunderstorm A1 grenade guns, rocket launchers, and various pre-allocated explosives, serving as the main force of the Infinity in times of crisis. Lin Xian planned to arm them with every heavy weapon configurable for single soldiers, making the firepower ferocious!
Lin Xian also arranged an aerial assault group, led by Brother Huo Lu Xingchen. This group was set for expansion after single-soldier flying devices could be produced, but for now, Brother Huo was the sole member.
However, after Lin Xian informed him, Brother Huo was instead brimming with confidence, claiming that he alone was an army, unfazed!
Finally, there were KIKI and Lin Xian. Technically, this group was more about internal and defense aspects, but Lin Xian would flexibly arrange KIKI, Luo Yang, and Sha Sha as needed.
For instance, KIKI was extremely versatile, whether it was technology, reconnaissance, or mobile assault, this girl was entirely multi-talented…
As for Luo Yang, he was inherently a long-range combat force. Even staying on the train, he was comparable to a heavy weapon.
There was no need to mention Sha Sha. A Fire God locomotive was almost turned into a Fire God Arsenal by her. This little girl would often find Lin Xian to learn various mechanical knowledge, having studied all the weapons on the train exhaustively. She was just short of dismantling the electromagnetic gun. Regarding this, Lin Xian not only didn't stop her but also cared for her and fulfilled her requests as long as he had blueprints. Don't be fooled by her 12-year-old appearance; her fierce demeanor driving the Sally through the Monster Tide was even more intense than her brother Da Lou's.
Therefore, Lin Xian considered that if stronger mechas or a batch of such could be mass-produced, then forming a Mechanical Corps like the Seventh Investigation Corps would allow a Steel Barrier to enhance the train's security level.
After finalizing personnel arrangements, Lin Xian began preparing the carriage configuration for the Infinity, a task that gave him some headaches. Unlike Dragon Mountain No.1, the Infinity had too many functional carriages. Now, there were two nuclear powered carriages, one Gemini 11R nuclear power electric locomotive (intercontinental level 290MW), and one Ling Long engineering-grade nuclear power electric locomotive (200MW).
Besides those, there were two Dragon-level electric traction locomotives, one Ring Star 10, and one Great Baby Giant Whale 03E heavy gas turbine locomotive...
Lin Xian sat in Carriage 12, looking somber as he adjusted the carriage layout with a mobile terminal, standing beside Grace, a beautifully shaped robot. He sighed inwardly, originally hoping to leverage the Deep Red No. 3 Intelligent Brain AI to design a train layout for convenience. However, the computer in the information center took days to parse this AI's program, and it wasn't guaranteed to solve everything perfectly. This gave Lin Xian quite a headache.
"To perfectly solve this issue, both the Dragon-level traction locomotive and the Gemini 11R nuclear power locomotive need modification..."
"Changing the Dragon-level is simple, but the nuclear power car requires completely dismantling the driving platform. Instead, why not place both nuclear power cars at the end for towing, putting the Dragon-level upfront to prevent a rear-heavy formation."
For the Infinity, power and electricity were critically important. Lin Xian wouldn't risk easily consuming them, hoping for a better solution after reaching Jin Hai, but in the present situation, this might be the best strategy.
"Let's do it!"
With determination, Lin Xian immediately took up the mobile terminal and started arranging the new carriage layout for the Infinity.
The front remained the Giant Whale 03E heavy gas turbine locomotive outfitted with heavy shields, featuring driving radars, active phased array radar, optical probes, Sentry System, and Horizon Gate.
For cars 2 and 3, Lin Xian intended to connect the two Dragon-level traction locomotives acquired from Xilan City by reinstalling corridor armor, boasting 70,000 kW power to collaborate with the gas turbine locomotive, sufficient to pull the Joint Train even without powering several hundred carriages behind!
Lin Xian equipped the roof of these two traction locomotives with YJ03 anti-aircraft cannon and one automated Fire God gun tower, all integrated under the information center's fire control system.
Car 4 continued to be the main carriage where Lin Xian and Chen Sixuan lived, Car 2 was KIKI and Sha Sha's information center, housing not only those two girls but also the train's comprehensive circuit system and a G3 railgun.
Cars 3 and 4 were originally Cole Type 3 biological science research carriages extracted from Underground City No. 9, also serving for Ding Junyi's residence and Lin Xian's planting carriage. Lin Xian prepared to place the Sun's dining car behind Car 4, adding an additional planting carriage to meet the entire train's needs.
This way, the original Car 5 where Da Lou and Brother Huo stayed became Car 6 (Car 9 on the Infinity), where Lin Xian successfully crafted a G3 electromagnetic railgun in Yijin City. He also planned to install a Model 1130, ensuring the weapon station genuinely possessed strong firepower coverage, though this would result in limited living space at the weapon station.
