"The whole city is protected by a very powerful force field system, supporting the current attack without any problem. But the systems that provide it with energy are in short supply. " Dr. will and Zhao Mai take the elevator to a busy laboratory, where scientists are now all craftsmen, busy making a small device, full of tools and scattered materials. "Atlantis was built by the ancients, and its technology is far better than ours. They invented a way to extract energy directly from space, which we call zero energy generator, or ZPM. The energy it can provide is incredible. The whole earth can use more than one ZPM - I mean the level of 2007. We won't make ZPM, we can only replace it with our strongest Nakada generator, but the energy level difference is too big, which can only barely maintain the consumption of the surrounding system, which is not very helpful to the war situation. "
"In other words, if the existing ZPM is consumed completely, then this place will be destroyed?" Zhao Mai asked, "if you can't make ZPM, what do you want me to do?"
"Oh, that's it." It's within Dr. Rodney's area of expertise, so he went on, "we have a depleted ZPM, empty. By comparison, we found that there was only a lack of components of a special material. This component is similar to a consumable catalyst, if it can be added, ZPM should be able to continue to work. We removed and installed this material component from the intact ZPM, and the results confirmed our conjecture. But that material is too hard to cut, so we can't expand the number of ZPM. More ZPM can improve 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. There are more warships coming. We didn't tell you this news to avoid panic. The alien race fighting with us is the ghost race, the cleaning fleet of NATOs. Their biggest characteristic is the number, the desperate number. The ancients couldn't defeat them either, so they had to evacuate from here. We're back, but I'm afraid we can't make it. We have to evacuate. Our only way to retreat is through the Stargate, but we don't have enough energy to open the Stargate in a sustained strike, so energy is our biggest problem. "
"NATOs or negos?"
"You can translate it any way. Do you know the ghost clan of nagos?" Dr. will wondered.
"I just came up with the name. I haven't dealt with it before." Zhao Mai came back. He thought that the taxi rarely gave him 31 gold coins, which only showed one thing. The ring alliance wanted to have a passer-by to come to the world, so it offered a reward! Negos, who has always been against the ring alliance, is the most suspect. Zhao Mai didn't know much about negos, only limited to the records in what happened to a million.
According to the book, negos is committed to collecting energy from the world by destroying it and eating on the corpses of cause and effect, matter and energy. Sometimes they disguise themselves as black holes, eating away some of the power of the universe. Unlike other biological development environments, they are more interested in the extinction of intelligent creatures, because it can provide them with a lot of soul and destiny power.
I don't care why they didn't blow up the whole planet for the time being. Instead, they had to aim at this city with a protective shield and keep fighting. They must have their own good reasons, but Zhao Mai couldn't catch a "ghost" to ask. Provide more ZPM, improve the defense level here, and leave enough energy to open the Stargate for everyone to retreat. This is the most important thing at present.
"No more nonsense. What kind of substance do you want me to imitate?"
"Oh, it's this." Dr. will nodded to the guard in front of the safe, who took out a cone-shaped device similar to a crystal. The size is like a bottle of champagne, a crystal profile emitting a soft light. Rodney took it over, pressed it a few times from the base, and took out a round gray thing.
It was a Gaia stone that had been worn to almost spherical shape, and could only barely see its original shape. Gaia stone is very hard. Zhao Mai has not found anything that can hurt it so far. Even the car shell can't prevent Gaia stone from causing scratches. Holding the fast gray stone in his hand, he was absolutely sure of his judgment. It was a stone of Gaia.
Although Gaia stone is a material form, it does not show any material characteristics. In fact, it doesn't express anything There's no energy fluctuation, no spectrum, no particles under the microscope. "The atomic number of this thing is 1314? How did you measure that? "
"It's very complicated to say. In fact, we can't be completely sure of this result. 80% of it is speculation and model calculation." Rodney explained: "this thing is really amazing. It's a combination of energy and matter, forming its own system, just like a world space of its own."
"I can't imitate this thing. As you said, it's not pure matter. Alchemy can't do anything about it." Zhao Mai said: "but don't lose heart. I have this thing."
"Yes?" Rodney was about to jump. "How many do you have?""Rodney, just a moment." Picking his eyebrows, Dr. will said to Zhao Mai, "Mr. long Hou, can you transfer it to us? We need four more ZPMs to hold up the gate. "
"Four? So much? " Zhao Mai thought, "I can't transfer it to you. I can only lend it to you. If possible, I'll take it back at last. If you are willing to give me a set of ZPM, I can give you one. "
Dr. will immediately nodded: "I agree to such terms. That's settled. However, it may be troublesome to take down ZPM when evacuating, which will make the shield invalid, and the attack of warships is still there, which will be quite risky. We will do our best, but we can't guarantee that. "
"You are sincere, Elizabeth. Just call me Mike. " Zhao Mai stretched out his hand to shake with her, indicating that the transaction took effect. He took out his lightsaber and removed four Gaia stones from it. "What else needs to be done?"
"Thank you very much already." Dr. will clasped his hands and gave a few shakes to his chest. "This is our lab, and I think your ability can help a lot. We're going to assemble the ZPM and carry out the evacuation plan. "
Didi, Didi Dr. will's watch flashed. She raised her hand and pressed her ear. "This is will. What's the matter?"
It should be an embedded communication tool, but Zhao Mai's psychic power can enhance the listening ability. Sheppard's voice came from the messenger: "commander will, you'd better come to the main control room as soon as possible. The radar found that the ghost had launched the landing ship and was breaking through the atmosphere. The target was us
"I'll be right there." Dr. will pressed his ear and was about to explain to Zhao Mai. Zhao Mai waved his hand and took the lead in saying, "I'll go with you. Compared with technology, I'm more interested in ghost landing ships. I should be able to help you."
He pointed to his ear, indicating his strong hearing.
