Favis nodded, then explained.
"Yes, but there is nothing I can do about it. If you can defeat Megado's clone, I won't have to forcefully activate the Star Attraction Device. But it doesn't matter, don't worry. As long as you repair the Star Attraction Device, I can repel Planet Naxxon again. Besides, there is still some time before Planet Naxxon falls down."
“What if it can’t be fixed?”
Shen Qiu did not feel relieved by Favis' words, but frowned and asked.
"Then we can only keep each other company."
Favis sighed and said to Shen Qiu and the others.
In fact, when Favis fully activated the star-drawing device to help Shen Qiu and the others, he had already made preparations for the worst.
Once Shen Qiu and the others failed.
The planet Naxon will hit us uncontrollably, and everything will be destroyed.
By then, no matter how powerful Megado is, he will not be able to escape death.
After hearing what Favis said, Shen Qiu's expression sank. He felt as if he had been tricked.
But now is not the time to worry about these things. They can only hurry to the star attraction device to troubleshoot the problem.
A moment later, Shen Qiu and others arrived at their destination. They saw a star-attracting device with a circular spire made of black stone covered with blood patterns.
The entire installation is extremely large and spectacular.
“Wow!”
Qi Dong and others were deeply shocked. The construction of this equipment was a miracle.
At this moment, Qi Lin and Muchen both had fanatical expressions on their faces. Being able to see such advanced equipment with their own eyes, this trip to another world was truly worthwhile.
"Come with me, I'll take you into the inner control center."
Favis led Shen Qiu and the others toward the center of the stacked circular device.
As they got closer, an opening opened up in the base of the device.
"Enter from here!"
Favis led the way inside.
Shen Qiu led everyone to follow Favis and entered a narrow and deep corridor.
Wu Di and the others looked around the corridor curiously and saw that the walls on both sides were actually made of fixed equipment. There were all kinds of lines on them, and there was a lighting lamp installed every ten meters above their heads, which was very bright and dazzling.
"We are now in the B2 area inside the Star Attraction Device. This area is where the SCE cluster control equipment is placed. The main control room is in the A1 area..."
Favis led Shen Qiu inside and introduced.
Shen Qiu was confused by what he heard, but as he walked along, he saw many forks in the road. Each fork had a sign indicating which equipment area it led to.
The entire interior area is like a maze.
Qi Lin looked at the signs at the forks along the way, his brows furrowed increasingly, and then he spoke to Shen Qiu.
"Shen Qiu, ask Favis how many people are needed to maintain this star attraction device?"
"good!"
Shen Qiu then asked Favis.
Favis thought for a moment and replied.
"About 200,000 people."
Shen Qiu was shocked when he heard the numbers reported by Favis. There were only nine people maintaining the equipment for 200,000 people, and seven of them were laymen.
He relayed this to Qi Lin helplessly.
"Two hundred thousand people."
When Qi Lin heard this number, he fell silent.
Mu Chen and the others looked at each other in bewilderment, and no one said a word. Now they could only pray that this star-attracting device only had a minor fault and that there shouldn't be any major problems.
Half an hour later.
Shen Qiu and others followed Favis around and finally arrived at the door of the central control room.
They saw a silver metal gate facing them, 30 meters high, 5 meters thick, with star patterns carved on the surface.
Fives stared at the silver door.
Click!
The entire door opened from the middle, and suddenly a huge control room came into the eyes of Shen Qiu and others.
The control room covers an area of approximately 5,000 square meters, with an extra-large U-shaped control console located in the center.
Apart from that, the entire control room was empty.
Shen Qiu and others walked in and looked around the control room.
"This is the control room of the Star Attraction Device. It looks a bit crude?"
Chen Ye scratched his head and said.
"It's not crude, but it doesn't need any fancy stuff. This control room is equipped with the most advanced holographic projection equipment, which can simulate the entire control room into anything you want."
Fives said as his figure appeared in front of everyone in the form of a holographic projection.
Qi Lin and others turned their heads to look at Shen Qiu.
Shen Qiu sighed, then asked Angie to start simultaneous translation and repeat what Favis said.
“It turns out to be so advanced!”
Chen Ye exclaimed after hearing this.
"Let's not talk about that anymore. How much do you know about the malfunction of the Star Attraction Device? Do you have any clues?"
Qi Lin asked directly getting to the point.
Favis shook his head and replied.
"I don't know. I have no idea what went wrong."
Qi Lin and Muchen looked at each other, and then they walked to the control panel.
"Favis, since you can control the Star Attraction Device, you should have the authority to use this console, right?"
Qi Lin asked.
"have!"
Favis responded.
"Unlock all restrictions. We need to read the work log of the star guidance device and check the self-check feedback data..."
Qi Lin said to Favis.
"OK."
Fives nodded in response.
The next second, the holographic screen inside the U-shaped console automatically lit up, and the holographic thumbnail and operation interface of the entire star attraction device emerged, and a prompt box popped up at the same time.
"Authorization approved, unlock."
Qi Lin connected his bracelet to the console, uploaded the text data, and translated all the interface text.
Then he quickly began to input commands and retrieve logs and related data.
I saw boxes popping up one after another, with various parameters and data densely recorded on them.
Muchen stood beside Qi Lin to help.
Shen Qiu saw Qi Lin and Muchen start to work, then he stretched and said to Wu Di and others.
"Everyone is tired, let's take a rest first, and leave the rest to Qi Lin and Muchen. We can't help you."
After hearing this, Wu Di and others sat down on the ground.
Although it only took half an hour to sprint from the underground base to here.
But this half hour also made them exhausted.
Soon several hours passed.
Muchen and Qi Lin stood at the control panel, looking at the retrieved data and logs, their brows twisted into a mess.
"Shen Qiu, Qi Lin and Muchen seem to have had a very difficult examination."
Yun Xiaoxi glanced at the two of them and said to Shen Qiu with some concern.
"You guys sit down and rest, I'll go ask."
Shen Qiu immediately stood up and walked to the console and asked.
"How about it?"
Qi Lin did not reply to Shen Qiu, but kept staring at the holographic screen.
Mu Chen replied to Shen Qiu with a wry smile.
"It's very tricky. The structure of this star attraction device is extremely complex, and it generates a lot of logs and data over a long period of time. The most important point is that we don't understand the entire device, so it's difficult to tell what went wrong at the moment."
After hearing this, Shen Qiu thought for a while and said.
"Let me help."
Mu Chen was slightly stunned when he heard Shen Qiu's words, but still nodded in response.
"good!"
Shen Qiu then walked to the deputy operator's position next to him.
You should know that this central control console supports up to 100 people operating at the same time, which can be said to be extremely advanced.
Of course Shen Qiu didn’t know how to operate it, he communicated with An Ji.
"Anji, you have strong calculation and analysis skills. Let's do a comprehensive test."
"no problem."
Angie replied confidently.
"Also, find a way to secretly take control of this place."
When Shen Qiu was instructing Angie with the Atomic Magic Armor, he glanced at Favis out of the corner of his eye without making any expression.
When Anji heard Shen Qiu's words, he immediately understood and replied confidently.
"no problem."
So Angie began to direct Shen Qiu to pretend to operate it, while she secretly reached out her hand from her pocket and extended a thin wire to connect to the console.
Angie began to quickly analyze all logs and data. At the same time, she took advantage of the open firewall and began to secretly implant viruses and crack core permissions.
Countless data codes were jumping wildly in Shen Qiu's eyes.
Looking at this scene, Shen Qiu couldn't help but secretly praise. Although Anji did not have the independent research and development and judgment capabilities of Qi Lin and others, his data processing and analysis were simply amazing.
After about an hour, Angie stopped.
"How about it?"
Shen Qiu asked quickly.
"That's weird, no problem!"
Angie replied doubtfully.
"no problem?"
Shen Qiu was slightly stunned. He thought things would be very bad and many things might go wrong!
But what he didn't expect was that Angie would tell him that it was okay.
"There is really no problem. All equipment is in good operating condition. This star attraction device has a built-in self-checking device, which will alarm if there is a problem. But now the equipment in each area is showing normal conditions."
Angie explained.
"Impossible. If there are really no problems, why can't it run at high power?"
Although Shen Qiu didn't understand these things, he also knew that if there was no problem with the equipment, it would be impossible for the equipment to not run.
"I'm a little confused too."
Angie was also a little puzzled.
At this moment, the entire star-attracting device suddenly vibrated slightly.
"What's going on?"
Shen Qiu was suddenly shocked and asked.
Wu Di and others immediately got up from the ground and looked around vigilantly.
"Don't worry, it's not us who has the problem."
Favis quickly explained.
"Then what went wrong?"
Shen Qiu frowned and looked at Favis and asked.
Favis then operated the console and a series of surveillance images popped up.
Shen Qiu and others looked at the images with expressions of great surprise in their eyes.
In the image, tentacles were seen penetrating from the outer ground of Tiris City, the solid ground was cracked, and buildings collapsed one after another.
Boom!
"What is that Megado doing?"
Shen Qiu looked at Favis and asked doubtfully.
Without waiting for Favis to answer, Qi Lin snorted coldly.
"The planets in the sky are about to fall down. Even if the monsters are brainless, they know how to avoid danger and seek good fortune. Naturally, they will struggle desperately to escape! Judging from the situation, they should be trying to hold up the entire city of Tiris."
"Yes, that's right."
Favis nodded in response.
After listening to this, Shen Qiu took a deep breath and asked.
“How much time do we have left for maintenance?”
"47 hours and 13 minutes."
Favis gave an exact value.
"Shen Qiu, let's get to work. I'll search again to see if there's a problem."
After hearing the time, Anji immediately said to Shen Qiu.
After listening to Angie's words, Shen Qiu spoke to Qi Lin and Muchen.
"We are running out of time. We must quickly troubleshoot the problem."
Qi Lin frowned and spoke coldly.
"We have checked the operating status of all equipment, and all are operating well without any faults."
"If everything is perfectly fine, why can't the power be increased?"
Wu Di asked in confusion
"All equipment is intact. If the power cannot be increased, the most likely possibility is that there is a problem in the power room."
Qi Lin expressed his guess.
Then Favis spoke up.
"The radiation level in the power room is extremely high, so it is usually closed. Normally no one goes in, and there are usually no problems."
Muchen said to Favis.
"That's right. Due to the extremely high radiation value, the equipment in the power room is usually relatively simple, and ordinary monitoring equipment cannot operate inside. Therefore, your monitoring devices should all be installed on external lines. If there is a small fault inside, it is not surprising that it is not identified."
"It's possible."
Favis thought for a moment and then replied.
"My suggestion is to go to the V4 area power room and check it out yourself. Although this is just our guess, there is no other area to suspect now."
Qi Lin stated his position very straightforwardly.
"Okay, come with me, I'll take you there."
Fives nodded.
Seeing this, Wu Di and others stood up and followed Favis out.
Soon, Favis brought Shen Qiu and others to the fast-moving elevator and they entered the elevator.
There are rows of buttons on the control panel that lead to various equipment areas.
The button in the V4 area lit up automatically, and then the elevator door closed and began to move rapidly horizontally.
After more than ten minutes, the elevator stopped and the door opened.
Shen Qiu and others walked out of the elevator and came to a changing room, where there were rows of glass cabinets and a thick lead door in the front with a danger sign on it.
Inside the glass cabinet, there are sets of metal protective clothing.
"Please put on your work clothes. The radiation level inside is very high."
"good!"
Shen Qiu and others were still very obedient and they quickly changed into a set of protective clothing.
Then the thick lead door opened automatically.
Shen Qiu and others walked in immediately. Behind the door was a very long corridor with a metal partition door every fifty meters.
Emergency medical kits and tool boxes are built into the walls.
Click!
Partition doors opened one after another.
Shen Qiu and his companions walked in unimpeded. After passing through the sixth partition door, the surrounding scene suddenly became clear.
They came to a square equipment area, the entire equipment area was about ten square kilometers.
Here are round metal balls with a diameter of hundreds of meters, and the entire metal ball is connected by various wires as thick as arms.
"What are these?"
Shen Qiu looked at the balls curiously and asked.
"These are energy stabilization devices that assist the internal star core devices."
Favis introduced them one by one.
Qi Lin took a quick look and continued walking forward.
Soon they passed through numerous auxiliary equipment and arrived at the inner center, and then they saw a device that was three hundred meters high, in the shape of a crystal core, with a silver shell all over and densely connected wires on the top.
The entire star core device emits a strong halo, like a dazzling planet.
“Wow~”
Chen Ye and others were all stunned. It was the first time they had seen such an advanced device.
Angie was also deeply shocked.
"What a high-end device! Even more advanced than our Star Fusion Device."
Favis introduced it to everyone very confidently.
"This is the star core device. It is essentially an advanced controlled fusion device. The energy of the entire star attraction device comes from it."
"Where is its control console?"
Qi Lin asked directly.
"Right there."
Favis pointed to a simple mechanical operating table in the corner. Behind the table was an independent data cabinet.
Qi Lin and Muchen immediately walked to the operating table. As soon as they touched the control console, a miniature holographic projection of the star core device appeared.
The two began to investigate.
Shen Qiu and others stood by and watched.
As a result, it only took Qi Lin and Muchen more than ten minutes to fix an incorrect parameter.
In an instant, two flashing red dots appeared on the projection of the star core.
"I found the problem."
Muchen said excitedly.
"What's the problem?"
Shen Qiu's eyes lit up and he asked quickly.
Qi Lin replied.
"The star core device, two fuel rods embedded with numbers T42 and T41 are abnormal."
"What should we do then?"
Shen Qiu immediately asked.
"Why don't we take it out and have a look to see if it's not installed properly or if there's something wrong with the fuel rod."
Favis then gave his advice.
"Is it okay to just pull it out?"
Qi Lin narrowed his eyes and looked at Favis.
"No problem, there won't be any danger."
Fives assured.
After listening to this, Shen Qiu spoke directly to Favis.
"Favis, tell me the location of those two fuel rods and I'll extract them!"
"good!"
Favis led Shen Qiu to the star core device. He pointed his finger at the fuel rod embedded in the crystalline star core device.
Shen Qiu then activated the levitation function of the Atomic Magic Armor and floated up.
Following Favis' instructions, he found the two connected fuel rods. The two fuel rods were cylindrical, with a U-shaped metal handle at the protruding head.
"Grip the handle and turn it clockwise to release the safety lock."
Favis said to Shen Qiu.
"good!"
Shen Qiu gripped the handle and turned it, then pulled it out smoothly.
Then he repeated the same procedure and pulled out the remaining fuel rod.
Shen Qiu landed and carefully placed the two fuel rods on the ground.
Qi Lin and Muchen came over and kept observing the two fuel rods.
Time passed little by little, Wu Di and the others were getting a little anxious and couldn't help but ask.
"How is it? Have you found the problem?"
Muchen said with a strange expression.
“Found it.”
"What's the problem?"
Shen Qiu asked quickly.
"The contents of these two fuel rods are exhausted."
Mu Chen replied with a somewhat amused look.
"Well, after all this time, it turns out that there is no fuel."
Chen Ye complained helplessly when he heard this.
After listening to this, Shen Qiu was speechless. He touched his forehead and said.
"Did you make a mistake?"
"That's right, these two fuel rods are exhausted, the sensing port failed, and the fault code was not uploaded."
Qi Lin explained calmly.
"If that's the case, it's easy to solve. Just replace the fuel rods."
Shen Qiu said with a delighted look.
"I'm afraid not."
Favis suddenly spoke, and his words were like a bucket of cold water, chilling everyone to the core.
Shen Qiu and others turned their heads to look at Favis and asked in confusion.
"Why?"
"These two fuel rods are not ordinary fuel rods. They are filled with a substance called rare earth barium. This substance contains huge amounts of energy and its production is very small. Therefore, it is very precious. There is no stock here anymore."
Favis shook his head and replied.
Wu Di also felt inexplicably irritated and spoke up.
"You don't know how to prepare something so important?"
“There is a preparation, but after a long time, it will be used up.”
Favis shook his head and replied.
"What should we do? Is there any alternative?"
Shen Qiuxin was startled and asked immediately.
"There is no substitute. This thing is essential. Without this fuel rod, the star core device cannot provide enough energy. Oh, I should have realized that there was a problem here a long time ago."
Favis sighed with a dejected look on his face.
"It's over. We are dead then."
Chen Ye said with a sad face.
"Actually, not necessarily. There are places where it might be possible."
Favis said after a moment's hesitation.
"where?"
Shen Qiu asked immediately.
"There are related production plants and mines on the planet Naxxon. There may be reserves there."
Fives spoke up.
After listening to this, Shen Qiu and others looked at each other, and their expressions were very interesting.
"You don't want us to go to the planet Naxon to get the fuel rods, do you?"
"This is the only way now."
Favis replied helplessly.
"Even if we want to get it, how do we get to that planet? And how do we get back? Do you have a rocket launch site here?"
Qi Lin stared at Favis and asked.
"There's no need to go through so much trouble. We have a more efficient method that can quickly travel between the two planets."
Fives spoke up.
"What is the solution?"
Shen Qiu and others looked at Favis.
"You just need to put on our specially made space suits, and you can use the magnetic field generated by the star attraction devices on the two planets to shuttle back and forth. The safety factor is very high, and it is very convenient. You can reach your destination directly without any deviation."
Favis said to Shen Qiu and others.
"It looks like we can only go once. Do you have any opinions?"
Shen Qiu looked at Wu Di and others.
"What do you think? Go and get the fuel rods back."
Wu Di replied decisively.
"Okay, that's settled, let's go! Favis, get us the data of the opposing base, and mark the location of the fuel rods!"
"It's all right."
"By the way, do you have permission to access the opposing base?"
Shen Qiu asked immediately.
"No, so you have to be extra careful not to touch the defense device."
Favis shook his head and replied.
"Okay, we got it."
Shen Qiu said in a deep voice.
"Then come with me. I'll take you to the storage warehouse to get the space suits."
Favis then led Shen Qiu and the others out.
Shen Qiu and others followed closely behind Favis.
…
Soon, Favis took Shen Qiu and the others out of the area. They went around here and there, and then changed elevators several times.
Finally they came to a huge storage warehouse.
This storage warehouse covers an area of tens of thousands of square meters, and is filled with towering storage racks filled with a variety of precision parts.
“This way!”
Favis led Shen Qiu and the others inside.
“These parts should be valuable too.”
Chen Ye sighed as he looked at the things placed on the storage shelves along the way.
"It's already this time, why are you still considering whether it's valuable or not?"
Shen Qiu knocked Chen Ye's head in annoyance.
"Okay, Boss."
Chen Ye replied, covering his head.
Soon, Favis led Shen Qiu and the others to a storage rack inside, where they saw a number of sealed silver boxes.
"Open these boxes and the space suits are inside."
Favis said to Shen Qiu and the others.
Shen Qiu and his companions stepped forward and swiftly opened the boxes. Suddenly, a set of brand new silver space suits and a special plastic transparent cover came into view.
"Isn't the style of this space suit any different from the ones we have?"
Yun Chuyu said curiously.
“The style is not much different, but the material and technology are very different.”
Qi Lin felt it as soon as he touched it.
"We'll study it slowly later. Hurry up and change it. We don't have time to waste here."
Wu Di went straight to work and put the space suit on.
Shen Qiu and others no longer hesitated and picked up their space suits and put them on.
In a few minutes, everyone was wearing space suits and masks, looking pretty professional.
Anji said to Shen Qiu with great curiosity.
"Shen Qiu, I scanned this space suit. In addition to the simple life support device, the entire space suit also has special black stone magnetic wires embedded inside."
"Um."
Shen Qiu nodded slightly.
At this time, Favis introduced it to everyone.
"This space suit has excellent heat insulation and pressure resistance, and has a built-in life support device that can continuously provide oxygen. Most importantly, do you see the rotating button on the chest?"
"See, what's the use of this?"
Everyone asked curiously.
"This rotating button can rotate left and right. When it is in the center, the space suit will not generate any magnetic force. When you rotate, different magnetic forces will be generated. At that time, you will be attracted and repelled by the magnetic fields of the star attraction devices on both sides. By properly utilizing the attraction and repulsion forces, you can travel back and forth between the two planets."
Favis gave a brief introduction.
"I see."
Shen Qiu and the others understood as soon as they heard it.
Immediately afterwards, a prompt popped up on the wristbands of Shen Qiu and others.
"Prompt: Receive a data transmission instruction, do you want to accept it?"
"take over."
Shen Qiu and the others clicked to accept.
"This information comes from Naxon. I hope it can be helpful to you."
Favis said immediately.
"good!"
Shen Qiu clicked it and took a quick look.
This document provides detailed information about the climate and monsters of the planet Naxxon, and also comes with a map of the city of Naxxon and a diagram of the structure of the internal star attraction device.
A special reserve location is also marked.
"Are you ready? If you are, I will take you to the ejection platform on the surface of the Star Attraction Device."
Favis asked politely.
"Let's go!"
Shen Qiu responded straightforwardly that time was pressing and there was no time for them to be fussy.
Favis then led them out of the reserve.
Half an hour later, Shen Qiu and his companions took a lift platform and went up.
Chen Ye said slightly excitedly.
"Boss, I never thought that I would be able to go to space one day. I would never have dared to think about it before."
"Um."
Shen Qiu looked very calm, but he was actually a little excited.
Having said that, he has tried so many extreme sports, but he has never tried going to space.
At this time, the platform is about to rise to the top and the top platform cracks.
With a crisp snapping sound, the lifting platform was embedded in the platform.
Shen Qiu looked around and saw that they were now circling the surface of the star attraction device.
"Turn right and you can fly into the sky. When you get close to the planet Naxon, turn left and use the repulsion to slow down your landing."
Favis then spoke to Shen Qiu and the others.
"Okay, let's go then."
Shen Qiu replied solemnly.
"I wish you a safe journey. I'll leave everything to you."
Favis bowed respectfully to everyone.
"Um!"
Shen Qiu nodded and then spoke.
"Everyone form a circle!"
Wu Di and others gathered around and stood in a circle.
"Everyone, get ready. 3, 2, 1, start!"
As soon as Shen Qiu finished speaking, everyone turned the rotary button on their chest at the same time, and then held hands.
In an instant, Shen Qiu and others felt an invisible repulsive force acting on themselves.
Swish!
They flew straight into the sky.
"Wow, we're flying."
Chen Ye shouted excitedly.
"Everyone, don't let go, or you'll get scattered!"
Shen Qiu said to everyone.
"clear!"
Yun Chuyu and others responded one after another.
Soon Shen Qiu and his companions flew high into the sky. They looked down and saw the huge city of Tiris.
"Shen Qiu, look at those metal tentacles!"
Yun Xiaoxi shouted in amazement.
Shen Qiu looked in the direction of Yun Xiaoxi's shout, and saw large areas of cracks on the outskirts of the city of Tiris, with countless tentacles extending out.
The whole city is like an octopus with a turtle shell on its head.
The most crucial point is that the octopus's head was pressed down tightly and could not move, only its tentacles kept running around.
"This MX72 monster has grown too well. Its size is simply a nightmare. If it runs to our world, I don't think anyone will be able to escape unscathed."
Muchen sighed.
"It must be killed."
Wu Di said in a decisive tone.
"Don't think too much about it yet, just keep your formation."
Shen Qiu said to everyone.
"clear!"
Everyone responded.
Soon they were flying higher and higher.
Half an hour later, Shen Qiu and his team successfully left the planet Tiris and arrived in outer space.
They could clearly feel the vast sea of stars and the twinkling stars in the distance, which was very shocking and beautiful.
However, Shen Qiu and the others were not in the mood to watch. Their attention was all focused on the planet Naxon.
On the surface, Naxon is a red planet, and its volume is about half that of Tiris.
According to the information provided by Favis, the planet Naxon is itself a semi-habitable planet and its air contains oxygen.
However, there is little vegetation on the entire planet, but there are rich mineral deposits everywhere, whose value is immeasurable.
The kingdom of Tiris only mined a portion of its resources, and the entire kingdom reached unprecedented prosperity.
