Sword and Magic and Taxi

The entire city is protected by a very powerful force field system. There is no problem in supporting the current attack. However, the system that provides energy for it is facing a shortage. Dr. Will and Zhao Mai took the teleportation elevator to a busy place In the laboratory, the scientists here have now become craftsmen, busy making a small device, with tools and scattered materials everywhere. Atlantis was built by the ancients, and their technological level far exceeded ours. They invented a method to extract energy directly from space, which we call the zero-point energy generator, or ZPM. The energy it can provide is simply incredible. One ZPM is more than enough for the entire earth - I mean the level in 2007. We can't make ZPM, so we can only use our strongest Naquada generator instead, but the energy level difference is too big, and we can barely maintain the surrounding system. The consumption will not be of much help to the battle situation.

In other words, if all the existing ZPMs are consumed, then this place will be destroyed? Zhao Mai asked: If you don't know how to build a ZPM, why do you ask me to do it?

Oh, that's right. This was within the scope of Dr. Rodney's expertise, so he continued: We have dried ZPM, which is empty. We compared it and found that it was just missing a component of a special material. This This component is like a consumable catalyst. If it can be replenished, the ZPM should be able to continue to work. We removed and installed this material component from the intact ZPM, and the results confirmed our guess. But the material is too hard and completely It cannot be cut, so we cannot expand the number of ZPMs. More ZPMs can increase the power of the shield. After all, our deep space radar found that there are more warships...

Dr. Will sighed and said to Zhao Mai: Rodney is right, more warships are coming. We did not tell your people this news to avoid panic. With us The alien race fighting is the ghost race, Neitos's cleaning fleet. Their biggest feature is their numbers, desperate numbers. The ancients are also unable to defeat them, so they can only evacuate from here. We are back, but I'm afraid we won't be able to survive. We have to evacuate. Our only way to retreat is through the Star Gate, but our energy is not enough to open the Star Gate during a sustained attack, so energy is our biggest problem.

Naitos or Nechus?

You can translate it any way you want. Do you know the ghost tribe of Naikos? Dr. Will asked doubtfully.

I just thought of this name suddenly. I have never dealt with it before. Zhao Mai returned. He thought about the rare taxi fare that gave him 31 gold coins. This move could only mean one thing. The Alliance of Rings hopes that a time traveler will come to this world, so it offered a reward! The one who can make the Ring Alliance do this is Naikos, who has always been against them. Zhao Mai doesn't know much about Naikos, only the records in What's Going on with One Million.

That book said that Nexus was dedicated to gathering energy from the world by destroying it, feeding on the corpses of cause and effect, matter and energy. Sometimes they disguise themselves as black holes and eat away at some of the power of the universe. Unlike other biological exploitation of the environment, they are more interested in the extinction of intelligent creatures, because that can provide them with a large amount of soul and destiny power.

Ignore for the moment why they didn't blow up the entire planet, but they had to target this city with a protective shield and keep fighting - they must have their own good reasons, but Zhao Mai can't catch a ghost for the time being. Come and ask. Provide more ZPM to improve the defense level here and leave enough energy to open the star gate so that everyone can retreat. This is the most important thing at the moment.

Without further ado, what kind of substance do you want me to imitate?

Oh, this is it. Dr. Will nodded to the guard guarding the safe, who took out a cone-shaped device similar to a crystal. The size is like a large bottle of champagne, with each crystal section emitting soft light. Rodney took it, pressed it a few times from the base, and pulled out something round and gray.

It was a piece of Gaia's stone that was worn to the point that it was almost spherical, and the original twenty-sided shape could only be barely discerned. The Gaia Stone is quite hard. Zhao Mai has not found anything that can harm it so far. Even the shell of a car cannot prevent the Gaia Stone from causing scratches. Taking the quick gray stone in his hand, he was absolutely sure of his judgment. It was a stone of Gaia.

Although the Stone of Gaia is in material form, it does not exhibit any material properties to the outside world. In fact, it expresses no characteristics... no energy fluctuations, no spectrum, and no particles can be seen under the microscope. The atomic number of this thing is 1314? How did you measure it?

It sounds very complicated. We are actually not completely sure of this result. Eighty percent of it is guesswork and model calculations. Rodney explained: This thing is really amazing. It is a combination of energy and matter. , self-contained, like a world space of its own.”

I can't imitate this thing. As you said, it is not a simple substance, and alchemy can't do anything about it. Zhao Mai said: But don't be discouraged, I have this thing.

Yes?! Rodney almost jumped up. You have several?

Rodney, wait a moment. Dr. Will raised his eyebrows and said to Zhao Mai: Mr. Longhou, can you transfer it to us? We still need four ZPMs to support the star gate.

Four? So many? Zhao Mai thought for a while: I can't transfer it to you, I can only lend it to you. If possible, I will take it back in the end. If you are willing to give me a set of ZPM, I can give it to you Here’s one for you.”

Dr. Will nodded immediately: I agree to such conditions, it's settled. However, one thing may be more troublesome, that is, removing the ZPM during evacuation will invalidate the shield, and the battleship's attack will still be there, which will be quite serious. There is a risk. We will do our best, but there is no guarantee.

You are very sincere, Elizabeth. Just call me Mike. Zhao Mai reached out and shook her hand, indicating that the transaction was effective. He took out his lightsaber and removed the four Gaia Stones from it. What else needs to be done?

Thank you very much. Dr. Will clasped his hands together and shook them in front of his chest a few times. This is our laboratory. I think your ability can be of great help. Let's assemble the ZPM and implement the evacuation plan.

Didi, beep... Dr. Will's watch flashed. She raised her hand and pressed her ear: This is Will, what's going on?

It should be an embedded communication tool, but Zhao Mai's hearing enhanced by his psychic powers can still be heard. Shepard's voice came from the communicator: Commander Will, you'd better come to the main control room as soon as possible. The radar has discovered that the Phantom has launched a landing ship and is breaking through the atmosphere. The target is clearly us.

I'll be there soon. Dr. Weir pressed his ear and was about to explain to Zhao Mai. Zhao Mai waved his hand and said first: I'll go with you. Compared to technology, I have more experience with ghosts. The landing ship is more interested and should be able to help you.”

He pointed to his ears to indicate his super hearing.
