Sword and Magic and Taxi

The ghost battleship above noticed that we were dialing out, so they dialed over at extremely fast speeds and occupied the entire line. They obviously didn't want us to leave. Dr. Will summoned science, medical, security, and communications , logistics and other heads of departments, several field team captains plus Zhao Mai and Dumbledore. Science team and communications team, how is the progress on your side?

We have calculated that, regardless of energy consumption and taking stronger anti-shock measures, we can increase the dialing efficiency by 25%, but this is still about three times slower than the speed of the ghost. We have no idea how the ghost can achieve such high speed. These improved efficiencies are not enough to dial any number, not just the Earth in 1919 or 2007, but not even short numbers in this galaxy.

Is there any way? Dr. Will said.

Rodney slowly raised his hand and said: I...I have a theory. The ghost detected our dialing and then inserted it, right? If we didn't dial, they never dialed. We Assuming that the ghosts do this, it actually consumes a lot of money, so if we don't move, they will not continue to do it, and the line may be idle. If we can send a ship to the nearest planet with a star gate, transfer from there to If you go farther away and then dial in, the detection of the ghost will not be as fast as it is now, and it is possible to establish a channel in advance so that the ghost cannot dial in. We can retreat from other planets.

Send a ship out? Unless the ghosts stop bombing us and turn off the full shield, it will be possible to go out. But currently, in this case, the only thing that can fly out is the ancients' unmanned Octopus missile, and the airship cannot . Shepard said: After flying out, you will be hit by the ghost's warship. Even if you can use the ancient scientific research boat with stealth technology to avoid being discovered, it will take two weeks to fly to the nearest star gate planet, and at that time The number of Wraith’s fleets will increase a lot.”

Uh, that's true... Rodney frowned and thought. He suddenly cut his left palm with his right palm and said, Atlantis can fly, why don't we just fly away?

What? Dr. Will looked surprised.

After we installed ZPM, we found that the city has opened up many functions that were previously hidden. The city is floating on the water. You don't think it's just caused by buoyancy, right? The energy now is enough to open Atlantis. Taking off with a shield, it is even possible to enter a state of super-light flight, so that we can avoid the attack of the ghost ship - when we are in super-light speed, we are in hyperspace, and all weapons cannot be fired, so before we leave the super-light speed, we It’s safe.”

But you have to know that once you leave the orbit of this planet, the coordinates of the star gate will shift. Dr. Weir said: We can do the calculations and corrections for other planets, but we can't see the coordinates of 1919 at all. Understand, there is no way to make corrections, whether it is flying away or going to the transit planet. Unless it is a matter of life and death, we still have to consider the issue of evacuating innocent civilians. Your plan can only be used as an alternative, but from now on We must be ready to take off - the key is not to let the ghosts know that we have the ability to take off, is that clear?

Rodney nodded, looking like he was interested in making the whole city fly. Dr. Will looked around at everyone and asked if they had any other ideas. Zhao Mai raised his hand and asked: All I'm thinking about now is how to retreat. Can we kill the ghost battleship above us? Wouldn't that solve all the problems?

Shepard shook his head: The problem is this. Atlantis has resisted the ghost's warships in the past, and the number of warships was close to 100,000. The city's protective shield held up, but the ammunition was all gone. . They moved to this planet full of water to evacuate the last remaining survivors, not to create ammunition and then fight back. Therefore, we do not have enough weapons to attack the ghosts, and we cannot even knock down one of them.

What if we could fly into the enemy ship and destroy it?

It's the same problem as before. You can't fly out when the protective shield is open... Wait, how did you teleport in? The protective shield was open at that time! Shepard finally came to his senses. After all the commotion, everyone finally realized this and looked at Zhao Mai with doubtful eyes.

I am a magician. Zhao Mai explained simply. I'm about 80% sure that I can bring a small group of people to the ghost's spaceship. Do you think this plan is feasible?

We are not sure which spacecraft has a star gate, let alone whether there is only one star gate, and we are not sure whether we can successfully kill the enemy and destroy the warship. Dr. Will looked at Shepard and said, You are As for the combat command, you make this decision.

Shepard frowned, thought about it in his mind, considered all the possibilities as much as possible, and then nodded and said: I think it is still feasible. This is the best plan at present. The science team is on the ground Get ready to take off, let's go to the sky and have a try. Being able to beat them is much better than being beaten all day long!

Well, in this case, these two plans are carried out at the same time, and the communication team has to find a way to see if it is possible to further speed up the dialing speed. This is the most critical at any time! Dr. Will said: Pad, you come to select the team members. I require them to be the strongest and best players. Since you want to take action, don’t fail!”

Mike, how many people can you send up, and what kind of weapons and equipment can you bring?

Zhao Mai thought for a while and found that the Ring Alliance's transmission channels had restrictions on carrying large-scale war weapons, and they could not pass through the channels at all. The address to the Ghost Battleship is on his mobile phone. The one-way toll is one gold coin per person, and he has to pay the same amount when he comes back. Therefore, he said: Large weapons are basically useless. It is best to keep the number of people below ten. If you bring too many, it will only increase the possibility of being discovered.

Okay, Ronan and Terra, you are relatively familiar with ghosts, and Terra, you can also control some ghost devices. Rodney, you have to go too!

Rodney McKay's face was elongated, and he looked as pale as a drowned rat: No, why should I let Atlantis fly?

If it wasn't you, I would have to bring at least three other scientists. There are too many people, so it has to be you.

Is this some kind of compliment? Rodney asked rhetorically.

You're welcome, Shepard replied. He looked at Zhao Mai, the meaning in his eyes was obvious.

Oh, don't look at me. I have to get through, otherwise you won't be able to get through. I suggest taking Professor Dumbledore and Diana with you. At least these are the strongest people I know. Among the other wizards... Zhao Mai looked at Dumbledore and asked, Is there anyone stronger?

I don't think so. Dumbledore smiled.

Okay, I'll take the three captains from the assault team with me, Shepard said.
