Traveling through the heavens and worlds from Marvel

Inside the palace of Shirem City.

Degas was quarreling with her consul again.

"Your Majesty, you should not allow them to fly within the city, and also open the door of life to let them fly out."

Corinth, after Degas succeeded to the throne, Hierem was a rising political star.

There is no doubt about his ability, especially when the Martian atmosphere dissipated and Shirem's life and death were at stake, he showed extremely powerful ability and means to handle things.

In less than a year, it stood out.

Initially, he was in favor of vigorously developing ninth-ray weapons.

But after learning that Barsoom was about to be destroyed and all the atmosphere would dissipate into the universe, he thought that he should cut down on all unnecessary things and try his best to save Shirem.

He strongly opposed the dispersion of Shirem's power across spacecraft and weapons.He believed that Hirem's primary purpose was to protect the city and its people, and then save Barsoom.

He coincided with Degas' thoughts, and with his outstanding ability, he became the consul appointed by Degas.

After he discovered Mark's spaceship, he came to the palace and Degas to top the cylinder.

You should not allow the Spaceship Research Institute to continue to exist.It should have been shut down a few months ago, instead of being taken into the palace and silently supporting the little lover to continue his research.

Degas did not answer directly, but asked another question, "How is the development in the Second City? How is the progress of various projects? How effective are the new technologies?"

When it came down to business, Collins also put away his reproachful expression.After thinking carefully, I answered Degas' question.

"The Second City is not there yet, and the outgoing expedition team hasn't chosen a location yet."

"The atmosphere production equipment and water production equipment are operating in good condition. There are people there to protect and repair them."

"But the water production is still somewhat low. Not only does it have to be used by people for daily use, but it also irrigates farmland, and various animals and plants also consume a lot of water."

"Moreover, improving land requires consuming a lot of water. The current production rate is simply not enough to support us in reclaiming more land."

"The most serious problem is the food problem. Our current food is simply not enough for daily consumption, and the food we have saved for many years has been basically used up."

"The current animals in the city have basically been consumed. According to your request, one or two pairs of each species are left as 'seeds'."

"With the current food reserves, we can still survive for another month."

"But even if most people are allowed to grow food, it will take at least more than two months for the food in the food base to mature."

When it came to business, Collins couldn't stop. He was under too much pressure.

The food base was newly built near the city of Shirem. The original force field only protected the entire city along the city wall, but they soon discovered that the land in the city was not enough to feed the people of Shirem. .

So they opened a new food base near the city specifically for growing food.But even so, it was still a little late.

"You have to find a way, Her Majesty. You can't live without food for that month."

In the end, Collins couldn't help but complain,

"You really shouldn't waste resources on some spaceship."

"If we invest all our resources and energy into food, we will definitely be able to produce more by then."

Degas thought that even if, as Collins said, there would not be enough food by then, people would still starve to death.

But she didn't say what was in her heart.

After all, she had worked so hard to help her, so it didn't hurt for him to complain a few words.

As Mark said, as a tool man, just know how to do things.

"Okay, I understand, you go down first. I'm going to think of a solution."

Degas felt miserable because her techniques were all powered by ninth ray energy.But so far, she has basically used all the energy near Xirem, and can barely maintain the current situation.

Machines that create atmosphere and water consume a lot of ninth ray energy, and improving the land to make it suitable for survival also consumes a lot of energy.

In addition, daily life, lighting, heating, making fires for cooking, and running machines all consume ninth-ray energy.

Although she can also use light energy, her big head is still the ninth ray.

It would be great if Mark was here~

……

Mark drove the airship and kept circling down from high altitude, while Old John stared intently at the city below that was getting closer and closer.

A steel mechanical city, it looks much smaller than Xirem.But it is made entirely of machinery and is more domineering and powerful than Xirem.

"Is this Zodange City?"

Although Old John had never left Shirem before, he also knew about Zodango. He knew that it was a city made of metal and that it could move. Sabo, the former master of Zodango, took it to and from Paris. All over Soum, killings and plundering continued.

Judging from the appearance of this city, although most of the buildings are somewhat dilapidated and weather-beaten, the rising white smoke still reminds Old John that there are still biological lives here.

"Mark, what should we do?"

Although Old John is older, he used to be a boatman. Faced with these things, he is still a little at a loss.

"Since we are here, let's check the situation first. Look at the creatures in this city. Who are they? What is their current situation? Are they hostile to Shirem?"

“Only then can we have a good way to deal with it.”

Mark actually had some guesses in his mind. He was afraid that these people were more likely to be enemies.

The environment on Mars deteriorated drastically, and the atmosphere, water and other things were lost to the cosmic light.

According to the normal technology of humans on Mars, they should all be extinct.

Hirem was able to survive because of the magical energy of the ninth ray discovered by Degas.

So what is the reason why this city can survive?

Alien technology?Or have the survivors evolved?Stop talking nonsense.

The only people on Mars who still know about the ninth ray are Thenns.

Thern was the enemy of Degas and Mark.

The spaceship is closer to Zodange City.

*

In Zuodange City, Mattai discovered a spaceship flying high in the sky in the highest room of the palace.

He immediately gave an order to the silver medal and summoned all Thern to come for discussion.

Soon, bursts of blue light flashed, and the Thern family also appeared in the room.

Stingy Degas, she only let Mark learn about the ninth ray by himself, and never taught him some spells.

He really should have been spanked.

"Ma Tai, why are you coming to us so urgently? What's the emergency?"

"We seem to have been discovered by Hirem now."

Mattai said and pointed to the spacecraft hovering outside.

The other Thanes quickly went to the window to check, and they saw the plane that Mattai was talking about at a glance.

Afterwards, they turned back and gathered around the table.

"What should we do now?"

Matai did not reply to Thern, but turned to ask Nand.

"How are we prepared now?"

Nan De: "Three shaped cannons have been built, and two more will be completed in two days. One of the three built cannons has been fully charged, and the other two have also reached about 90% of their energy. It can be fully charged in two days.”

Mattai: "Now that we are almost ready, let's start planning to make Shirem disappear above Barsoom and maintain the supremacy of our Thern family."

The other Thanes naturally nodded in agreement.
