Hao Ren looked at the MDT in surprise. "You want to power it? Can you? "
Hao Ren looked at the MDT and felt incredulous. This palm-sized gadget should be about the same power as a mobile phone. While he had not seen the floating island shield generator with his own eyes, it would at least be the power of a nuclear power plant on Earth (no matter how poor the Aerymian elves were, they were still more technologically advanced than the people on Earth). Asking this palm-sized gadget to power a city-sized shield generator was like stuffing a No.5 battery into the stomach of Optimus Prime...
The MDT swayed its body in the air. "You're short-sighted. No matter how bad I am, I'm still powered by psionic energy. Converting it into low-level energy is not child's play. Hurry up and get the energy port out. I'll save the world."
The elven sorcerer looked at the "magical device", which was as intelligent as a human being. Hao Ren saw that the MDT was so confident, so he turned to the staff and said, "You guys get the energy circuit out first... Can you get it out?"
A few staff immediately went to prepare. The elven sorcerer, who was in charge, looked at the MDT awkwardly and said, "It's not a problem to get the energy circuit out... but what kind of port does it need? This... this is something we've never seen before. "
Hao Ren poked the MDT and asked, "How do you solve the port compatibility problem? Do you support USB 3.0? "
"Do these elves have USB 3.0?" The MDT snorted and then quickly spun on the ground, leaving a ring-shaped mark. It then explained to the elves, "Put your energy supply device around the circle. I'll be in the circle. You don't have to worry about the conversion work. Also, when you start working, you'd better stay away from the circle. There may be a trace of psionic radiation, which is fatal to you. "
The magicologists, who were called magicologists, removed an additional energy pipe from a nearby maintenance hole. They connected a flexible, plastic-like tube to the pipe and extended it toward the MDT. Hao Ren found that the magical device used by the elves was powered by a circulatory system that looked like blood vessels. These "blood vessels" flowed with a thin solution containing magic and consumable substances. It was shiny and green, reminiscent of the veins in plants. The elves moved several thick circulation pipes to the MDT and connected them to additional circulation pumps. At the same time, they installed some kind of "absorber" for charging outside the pipes. Finally, they welded the connecting parts of the equipment directly to the ground (they would easily float in a microgravity environment) and drew a simple amplification magic circle around the MDT with a silvery-white, liquid-metal-like magic material. The magic circle surrounded the MDT.
The magic circle surrounded the MDT. Hao Ren looked at this "high-tech magic" in amazement. The Void was vast and full of wonders. After the development of the magic civilization, it was not as simple as a competition to see who could make the biggest fireball. They could also make spaceships and sophisticated equipment. Or to put it more bluntly, there was no difference between a magic civilization and a technological civilization. They just had different forms, and ultimately, it all came down to "technology".
Who was to say that the printed circuit board made by the earthlings was not another form of magic circle in the eyes of the otherworld? These mysterious runes were probably just simple circuit diagrams to the Aerymian elves.
After all the equipment was in place, the MDT motioned for everyone to step back as it muttered, "Fortunately, this is the latest model. Part of the shell is made of energy alloy. Otherwise, there's no way to do this conversion... Let's go!"
A pale blue halo spread out from the MDT and successfully activated the charging device. The entire magic circle began to glow in a pale silver light.
Hao Ren let out a long sigh. "It's lit up."
The elven technicians around nodded. "It's lit up, it's lit up..."
A soft hum came from the top of the hoop. The shield generator, which had been offline for more than an hour, was working again. With the help of the automatic calibration device, it quickly re-aligned with the other shield generators. The white noise that had spread for more than ten kilometers on the dome quickly subsided. The dome was saved.
The elves around burst into cheers. The elven mage commander took a deep breath and smiled. "Now, all that's left is to plug the hole and slowly figure out how to repair the propulsion unit. There's no rush. The propulsion unit doesn't work most of the time. It only works occasionally to adjust the attitude of the floating island or to change its position. There's plenty of time... "
"Boom!" A muffled sound like rolling thunder interrupted the mage. At the same time, everyone felt the ground around them shake violently. Then, a strange feeling of tilting suddenly hit them. It was as if the artificial gravity under their feet was recovering, but it was at an abnormal angle with the ground. Hao Ren looked up in surprise. An abnormal light burst out from the wall-like hoop. It was dazzling, as if there was a giant pillar of fire raging outside the wall.
Even more intense tremors followed and gradually spread to even further places. The entire floating island began to tilt from the tremors!
Lily's sixth sense for danger was activated. She looked up and suddenly her tail exploded. "The stars are flying!"
It was not the stars that were flying, it was the entire sky that was moving!
All the stars were falling towards where they were standing. It was as if the entire sky was tumbling, but in fact, it was the ground under their feet that was tumbling. The elven mage quickly realized what had happened after a brief moment of surprise. He immediately sent two people to the top of the hoop to check the situation (the surveillance system installed outside the wall had been destroyed by the explosion). The two mages flew to the edge of the dome to take a look and reported in horror. "There's still a part of the propulsion unit left! It's moving! It's pushing the Dawnbreak Island away from the sun! "" The floating island is tumbling! The other propulsion units are also firing randomly! "" It might hit the Isle of Shimmering Light! "
At the same time, the noise on the dome that was almost completely repaired suddenly increased again. It was as if there was a problem with the energy distribution system buried in the hoop. The energy of the shield generator was being extracted and sent to the propulsion unit that should have been completely scrapped!
"Inform the core control tower." The elven mage quickly ordered. "Let the propulsion unit on the opposite side start up. First, offset the one-way thrust here. Switch the artificial gravity of the island to self-adjust to offset the tumbling vibration. Then find a way to shut down the propulsion unit! "
"The core control tower has responded," the elven messenger shouted. "Which way to push?!"
The floating island was spinning away from the island chain under the influence of the one-way propulsion unit and a bunch of propulsion units that had lost control. It was still slowly accelerating, but if it did not stabilize soon, the entire island would soon experience a super earthquake or even be torn apart by the propulsion unit. The propulsion unit on the opposite side of the island could handle this, but if it was activated in the same direction as the propulsion unit on this side, the entire island would accelerate away from the island chain and possibly crash into other islands along the way. If it was activated in the opposite direction, the Dawnbreak Island would barely remain in the island chain, but its tumbling would accelerate. This would place a huge burden on the artificial gravity system and might even speed up the island's disintegration. The elven commander immediately fell into a dilemma. Should he let the island stay here and risk the disintegration, or should he let the other floating islands advance in the same direction at the risk of crashing into each other?
He could not make this decision.
"Her Majesty the Queen's order!" A messenger suddenly shouted. "Do not affect the other floating islands. Let the Dawnbreak Island tumble in place!"
The elven mage was shocked. "But this will speed up the disintegration!"
"Her Majesty the Queen's order: All entrances and exits to the Royal District have been opened. All elves are to take refuge in the Royal District. After the island disintegrates, the Royal District can still be preserved. It has its own walls and shields, and can hold out until the other floating islands come to rescue. All rescue teams are to stay in place for 24 hours. After 24 hours, if the propulsion unit cannot be shut down or disengaged, give up the rescue and take refuge together. "
"Are we giving up on Dawnbreak Island?"
"This is Her Majesty the Queen's order. At least we can save everyone's lives, and the people on the other islands will not be harmed."
The elven mage gritted his teeth and stared at the flames outside the high walls. "... This is where my ancestors lived for generations... Okay, I understand. Stop the propulsion unit at all costs! Otherwise, our family is finished! "
"The control system is malfunctioning, and we are using a special energy supply pipe. If we cut off the energy, the dome will shut down as well."
"Then blow it up!" The elven mage's eyes were bloodshot. "What about the cruisers? Send a bomb over. At most, it'll just blow a bigger hole. It's better than the entire floating island disintegrating! "
