For the next three days, the starry sky from Solar System #1 all the way to Solar System #60 smelled like warm tar, roasted mutton, and fresh yellow road paint.
With nine hundred trillion tons of Rank 8 Black-Gold Road Asphalt neatly stacked up by the Void Whale Chimney-Sweep Corps, Pei Xuan didn’t let a single brick sit idle in the warehouse.
Standing on the central dispatch tower of Station #55, Pei Xuan opened his Fusion Cube interface and spent 10 Trillion LP to merge [900 Trillion Tons of Black-Gold Road Asphalt] + [Existing 60-System Star-Train Track Grid] + [Dark-Rift Spatial Slipstream Runes] into the ultimate interstellar transportation upgrade:
CHUGGA-CHUGGA-ROLLLLLLL!
Two hundred Rank 8 Void Whales pulling thousand-mile-wide Solar Steam-Rollers glided down every highway from the Frost-Rim Sector to the Dark-Rift Sector. Behind the rollers, the gleaming golden roadbeds cooled into mirror-smooth, indestructible Black-Gold Expressways flecked with shining stars and crisp yellow lane markings.
By noon on the third day, the grand Inaugural 60-System Lunch-Break Express blasted its brass whistle at Station #1 in the Frost-Rim Sector and shot onto the new black-gold rails!
Inside the twenty-car passenger train, five thousand ice-miners from System #1, farmers from the Ten-Sun Greenhouse Ring, and militia families from System #51 sat at polished wooden tables eating steaming bowls of Old Guo’s Clear-Broth Beef Noodles and crunchy Honey-Glazed Space-Shrimp.
