But for those special accessories at the back, they're not needed; just let Ai control them directly.

The effect Ai achieves through the "Mechanical Eye" and "Target Detection Radar" is far superior to any night vision goggles. Ai's perspective is different from humans; to some extent, it seems like Ai has a god's-eye view and superior computing power, allowing him to process multiple screens simultaneously.

The train now doesn't lack copper resources.

There's a total of 3.51 million units of copper, but it's only enough to build six Level 8 robots, which won't have a significant impact.

But...

This "Black Hole Armored Robot Production Line" is customizable and not so rigid. If you don't need Level 8 armor, or even Level 1 armor, then creating a Level 8 standard robot would only require 50,000 units of copper.

That's 450,000 units of copper less.

The cost plummeted immediately.

He doesn't need robots with much defense. A long-range attack robot doesn't need such high armor; even if it gets scrapped, he can just make another one.

He immediately used 2 million units of copper to create 40 Level 8 robots.

"This is perfect now."

Chen Mang smiled and nodded, turning to Ai: "I'll leave the rest to you. Put 50,000 units of copper behind each robot's head. This should be enough ammunition. With your current computing power, can you control this many robots at once, or do I need to set up patrol commands?"

"Absolutely possible. If no other workload is added, my remaining computing power allows me to control up to 500 robots simultaneously. These 40 are more than manageable."

"That high?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Mang's eyes. He waved his hand and walked out.

"Alright then, carry on."

"I'm leaving first."

He didn't know what made him say "you continue" to an AI. Perhaps it was because Ai looked really busy. With these 40 Level 8 robots, the residents' mining operation finally had absolute security.

The most impressive thing about this production line is—

Two Supermodel Effects.

-

"Level 5 Supermodel Effect of the Black Hole Armored Robot Production Line": Intact robots can be reclaimed at full price, severely damaged robots will be depreciated based on damage extent.

"Level 10 Supermodel Effect of the Black Hole Armored Robot Production Line": Robot ammunition consumption is halved.

-

Recyclable!

Intact robots can be reclaimed at full price.

Severely damaged robots are depreciated based on their damage extent.

In other words.

Even if these Level 8 robots are no longer needed in the future, they can all be reclaimed to create higher-level robots. He finally understood why this accessory is called heavy firepower.

From a certain perspective.

This accessory is even more impressive than the "Earth-Burst Missile"!

As long as there is enough copper, he can even build a robotic army, and each robot would be absolutely disciplined, fearless, and cooperate seamlessly under Ai's control.

If Ai's database were supplemented with some large-scale war command techniques.

It would be perfect.

One person, equals an army!

More importantly, these robots are extremely cheap if not considering the armor, making them very cost-effective.

Plus, with that "ammunition consumption halved" Supermodel Effect, it's perfect!

This is the most satisfying red-grade accessory he's ever had.

Although the "Earth-Burst Missile" is perfect too, it's too expensive, he couldn't bear to use it. If it had been cheaper, when the "Zombie Volcano" erupted just now, he would have nuked it directly!

...

Under the night sky.

40 robots with black appearances and identical shapes emerged from carriage No. 2, guns in hand, striding onto the battlefield, precisely picking off the monsters charging at the train.

The cooperation amongst them was extremely seamless.

Absolutely no situation where two robots would waste bullets on a single monster.

The 40 robots spread out forming a protective ring like a wall around the residents.

"Elegant, precise."

Inside the train cabin.

Chen Mang watched the scene unfold and silently awarded these two words in his heart. Not wasting a single bullet, they aimed and fired with exceptional efficiency. Although lacking any tactical movements, the whole process was quite pleasing to watch.

A charm belonging to Mechanical Civilization.

The originally overburdened Biaozi and others immediately felt relaxed after these 40 robots entered the battlefield.

"40 isn't enough."

After observing for a moment, he muttered softly with a slightly dazed expression.

He wanted to have a robotic army!

At least...

A thousand, perhaps?

The look and design of these robots didn't use simulated skin; all exposed was the standard steel mechanical structure, clearly identifying them as robots, completely different from those in "Neon City".

At least these robots were gender-neutral.

No penises, no vaginas.

Pure killing machines!

Just then—

All robots suddenly stopped where they were, swiftly tossing their rifles behind and spreading their arms, transforming into twin Gatlings with mechanical adjustments.

Simultaneously, they all aligned and aimed at the monsters ahead.

Next moment!

"Tat-tat-tat!"

They fired in unison, the roaring sound of the Gatlings erupting across the wasteland, completely clearing all surrounding monsters in an instant with incredible effectiveness!

The scene of those 40 robots with arms transformed into Gatlings was quite stirring.

However...

Chen Mang paused briefly: "Ai, what are you doing? There aren't many monsters; rifles were enough. What's the point of that spectacle? Conserve the copper!"

"Ahem..."

A slightly embarrassed voice came from Ai through the train cabin speakers: "Seeing how engrossed you were, I thought I'd show off a bit for you, Train Captain, something more impressive."

"But no worries, didn't consume much ammo."

"They're all low-level monsters. Crafting low-level bullets doesn't use much copper, especially with the ammunition consumption halving Supermodel Effect."

"Focus on patrol alert, don't engage monsters not approaching the train. Save the iron, no flashy moves!"

"Understood! Copy!"

...

"What does this mean?"

The third team leader controlling the "Leech" mecha looked on dumbfounded, murmuring: "Did I lose my job?"

"Seems like you did."

The sound of Biaozi came from inside the mech cockpit: "Consider yourself lucky President Ai can't operate mechas, or you'd be really out of a job. I bet President Ai would pilot mechas better than you do."

"Isn't that obvious... President Ai's computing power lets him do so many things at once!"

"When I read novels while pooping, I can't even focus properly."

Laughing softly, Biaozi, piloting the "Executioner" mecha, didn't speak further. It didn't affect him anyway; he was a brute force gravity mecha and wouldn't face unemployment.

Having these robots is beneficial.

He could finally find time to train in the "Combat Training Virtual Space". He had been so busy lately with no free time to train, eager to improve his physical comprehensive quality and apply for the "Thunderbolt" mecha from Master Mang.

The strength of the train has noticeably increased by another tenth.

Every time we overcome a crisis, the Fixed Star gains a bit more strength.

And his sense of pride in the Fixed Star has only grown stronger.

...

The night grew deeper.

All residents had returned to the train, and all guards had returned as well. Tonight, patrolling outside the train was no longer feasible.

Or rather—

For a long time to come, keeping watch outside the train wouldn't be possible.

The number of monsters was too overwhelming, making it impractical for the guard team to hold the line, and there wasn't any point in holding it either. Since the residents were back inside the carriage, there's no need to hold the line outside.
