My Little Pony: My Little Pony The Martian
Chapter 198 Sun Day 364
AMICITAS Mission Three – Mission Day 370
ARES 3 solar day 364
As usual, Starlight Glimmer poured magic energy into each lattice of the quartz block in front of him according to the pattern he was now familiar with. Of course, this type of enchantment had not been used for several months - now that I think about it, the last time it was used was not long before the engine was tested, and the test was accompanied by earth-shaking results. It's been...five months? One accident after another left them wasted for five whole months?
But on the bright side, these five months were not all in vain. Dragonfly has woken up and is on the road to gradual recovery. Although the design purpose has changed, fifteen giant batteries have been declared completed. Not to mention countless other issues that have been addressed, which I won’t list here for now.
But it is still undeniable that their magic energy production capacity has not improved in the past five months, and in less than three months they will leave the cave and officially set off. The nineteen (eighteen and a half to be exact) batteries currently under their hooves may not be able to produce or store enough magic energy to last them through the hundreds of days between hitting the road and escaping Mars. Her plan was to eventually hit the road with twenty-seven full-capacity batteries fully charged with magic energy - a total weight of nearly two tons and a volume of one cubic meter of crystal. This also means that she needs to make at least nine more batteries, and then accumulate some as backup in case there are other sudden magic needs that consume their planned total magic energy reserves before setting off.
So she continues to work here; the three batteries next to her project a magic field, the other three provide energy for herself, and six battery crystal ingots set in recycled old battery casings serve as raw materials. She'll be making six more in two weeks. After that, in another two weeks, the final six pieces will be completed. The total is thirty-six batteries - nine more (and half a battery left) on top of the minimum required. The extra nine batteries should last them through their last month in Ashidaria.
She finally pumped out a burst of magic energy and completed the process of enchanting the second battery of the day. She turned off the battery under her hoof, absorbed the remaining magic energy, and then turned to the next battery to start working.
"Did it bother you?" Cherry Berry, who had been standing behind her, spoke; Starlight, who was so focused, didn't notice her at all. (Actually, she was aware of it, but she just subconsciously thought it was the dragonfly that always appeared around the battery that turned on the magic field projection.) "I don't want to interrupt your train of thought when you are concentrating on your work, but Those boxes of crystals you put there are a little weird.”
Starlight immediately pricked up her ears, "Really?" she asked, "What's weird?"
"Water came out of one of the boxes."
"Okay!!!" Starlight threw away the piles of batteries and the running magic field projection device - connected to three batteries for power, it could run for at least more than an hour if left alone - and ran quickly To the plates containing the crystal fragments that were the subjects of the rainbow crystal enchantment experiment she had arranged earlier. The box at the end is very different; compared to other sample boxes that only contain randomly enchanted crystals, this box of crystals also has a steady stream of blue under its ever-changing neon surface. color strips. On a certain section of the hexagonal crystal column in front of him, blue patterns broke through the surface of the crystal, leaving a large area of dark blue water stains.
By design, the crystals are stacked on the edge of the sample box. It's absolutely true, the water droplets gathered into a thin stream and flowed out along the overlapping crystals, flowing down against the side wall of the sample box. "Successful! Successful!" Starlight cheered and danced with excitement in celebration.
"What succeeded?" Cherry Berry hadn't yet reacted.
"It's the accompanying enchantment I designed that pumps water uphill to the top of the farm!" Starlight was excited. "The principle is quite simple. Let me explain it to you." She stretched out her hooves to pick up a certain crystal and lifted it to the strawberry In front of Berry, "The blue strip here is my enchantment - its function is to form a pipe that can only be transmitted in one direction and only allows water to pass through. Water will flow out from the blue dot here. If the water flowing out is again Drop onto another crystal with the same enchantment and the moisture will be reabsorbed and transported towards the next crystal along the line!”
"Okay," Berry nodded, "but don't we have to put in so much effort to make so many enchanted crystals and arrange them in a row..."
"No, no, no, you don't understand the subtlety of this design!" Starlight explained with a smile, "This layer of enchantment is superimposed on the rainbow crystal enchantment! It will multiply by itself!" She looked down at her hoof. There are piles of crystals below, with the blue spots on most specimens pointing roughly upward. "And the multiplication process can retain the correct direction! So I only need to place such a crystal at intervals along each side of the farm area, and the water pipeline can be automatically built!"
"That's really good," Berry agreed, "but we don't want every crystal to look like this, otherwise this place will become a water curtain cave."
"That's very simple," Starlight replied, "The rainbow crystal cannot spread its enchantment to an already enchanted crystal. So I just need to arrange the enchantments continuously along the upper and lower boundaries of the water pipeline area that I have circled. , the rainbow enchantment cannot cross the line!"
"I understand," Berry thought for a while, "It seems you have planned everything in advance."
"Well, indeed," Starlight nodded, "it is simplified on the basis of the core enchantment of our life support system. There is only this way - superimposing it on the rainbow crystal enchantment greatly weakens the strength of the enchantment. But as long as If we have enough crystals, we should be able to ensure circulating water supply in the area between the reservoir and the airlock - in fact, if the scope of the enchantment can reach below the surface, we can also extract the underground water seeping from the back of the cave! In this way, we have established a complete magic-driven water circulation system in the cave that does not require the intervention of horsemen!"
"hope so."
Berry still remained skeptical and poured cold water on Starlight's enthusiasm. "Well, it's not decided yet," she explained, "but with the time and resources we have, there's only so much I can do. We don't have pumps and pipelines, so we can't rely on mechanical solutions. And if we leave it alone, within a month or two after we leave, every plant in the cave will dehydrate and die."
"Of course I know that," Berry replied, "but...how can we see what it will look like after it is fully put into operation? This of course refers to the long-term effects. It is impossible for us to know what will happen after we leave."
"What we can do now is to give the farm a chance to survive," Starlight replied. "We have solved the problem of lighting and water supply. We will know soon whether the heating method will work. I just hope now. Figure out some way to pollinate the plants." She continued to stare at the crystal in her hoof, and a moment later placed it back in the tray to reunite with its companions. "Unfortunately, if the size of the crystal is too small, the rainbow enchantment will be ineffective, and the small crystal fragments cannot maintain their own suspension."
"Anyway, I feel that the broken glass flying everywhere doesn't sound like a good thing," Berry finished what she had to say, "Then I wish you good luck. You can call us for help when it's time to decorate."
"Yes," Starlight replied, "but I still need to finish building the current pile of batteries first, and then the boosters for test launches. After that, there are other miscellaneous chores for me to do."
"By the way, speaking of this," Cherry Berry interrupted, "I would like to ask if you can... uh, can you make me a set of crystal dice like yours? That dice program on the computer always I'm tired of being thrown into Harry King's shit truck by some other means."
"But why did you choose those pre-made assassin characters made by Mark?" Starlight asked.
"He always doesn't allow us to choose the wizard role," Berry replied. "Rooftop parkour is the closest experience to flying that I can do. But I still don't understand why the dice on the computer are always in that category. I was given a loss in terms of skills, but otherwise everything was normal.”
"Well, actually it's not that bad." Starlight teased, "At least I didn't let you fall into the Anka River."
"Hmph. Go back and make your batteries."
Starlight, who was still very proud of his genius idea, heard this and went back to build batteries according to the order.
