Chapter 246: Not smooth

Hao Ren looked at the data terminal in surprise: "You power it? Can you do it?"

He looked at the small body of the data terminal and found it inconceivable. In his impression, such a small gadget with the size of a palm should be about the same power as a mobile phone. Although the floating island shield generator has not witnessed it with his own eyes, if he wants to throw it on the earth, it must be at least With the output of a large number of nuclear power plants (no matter how poor the Erim elves are, they are more skilled than the people on Earth), it feels like putting an AA battery to power a city-level shield generator for this palm-sized guy. Stuffed in Optimus Prime's belly...

The data terminal dangled in the air frightenedly: "You are short-sighted, no matter how bad this machine is, it is powered by psionic energy, and the output of converting it into low-level energy is a trifling matter—quickly get out the energy interface, and this machine will save the world .”

The elf mage next to him stared blankly at this magical "magic device" with high intelligence and almost no different from human beings. Seeing that the data terminal was full of confidence, Hao Ren could only explain to the staff on site: "You first lead the energy line to Come out... can you lead it out?"

Several staff immediately ran to make preparations, while the elf mage who was the on-site commander looked at the data terminal with some embarrassment: "It's no problem to lead out the energy line... But what kind of interface does it need? This... We've never had anything like this before."

Hao Ren poked at the data terminal: "How to solve the problem of interface compatibility? Do you support it?"

"Do these elves have a USB?!" The data terminal snorted, then spun rapidly and rolled around on the ground, leaving a ring-shaped mark. This was explained to those elves. "Put your energy supply devices around this circle. The machine is inside the circle, so you don't need to worry about all the conversion work. In addition, it is better for your people to stay away from the circle after starting work. There may be traces of phantom energy radiation, yes You are deadly."

Those magic technicians called magic experts removed an extra energy pipeline from a nearby inspection port, connected a flexible thing that looked like a plastic tube to the pipeline and extended it to this side. Hao Ren discovered that the magic devices used by these elves were powered by a circulatory system that looked like blood vessels. These "vessels" flowed a thin solution of magical powers and expendable substances, shining with a green light, reminiscent of the veins in plants. The elves moved several thick circulation pipes to the side of the data terminal, connected them with additional circulation pumps, and installed some kind of "absorption device" for charging outside the pipes. Finally, they put the equipment's The connection kit was directly welded to the ground (they are easy to float in a microgravity environment), and a simple augmentation circle was drawn around it with a silver-white magic material as thick as liquid metal. Data terminals are enclosed in the middle.

Hao Ren was amazed at this "high technology in magic". The vastness of the void is indeed full of wonders. After the development of magic civilization, it is obviously not just as simple as who can make the biggest fireball. They can also manufacture spaceships and precision equipment—or more directly, there is no difference between magic civilization and technological civilization. The forms of expression are different, and in the final analysis, they all should be attributed to "technology".

Who said that the printed circuit boards made by people on earth are not another form of magic circle in the eyes of outsiders? These seemingly mysterious runes should be nothing more than simple circuit diagrams to the Erim elves.

After the data terminal and all other equipment were installed, they motioned for everyone to back off. While still muttering: "Fortunately, this machine is the latest model. A part of the shell is made of energy alloy, otherwise it is really impossible to do this kind of conversion... let's go!"

A light blue halo spread out from around the data terminal, successfully activating the charging device, and the entire magic circle began to flicker with a light silver glow.

Hao Ren let out a long breath: "It's bright."

The elf technicians around also nodded: "It's on, it's on..."

A slight buzzing sound came from the top of the hoop, and the shield generator that had been shut down for more than an hour started to work again, and was quickly re-tuned with other shield generators under the action of the automatic calibration device, and it had spread over more than ten kilometers The white noise on the dome quickly fades: the dome is preserved.

The elves around burst into cheers, and the elf mage who was the commander finally smiled after taking a deep breath: "Now all that remains is to plug the hole and slowly study how to repair the propulsion unit. There is no rush. The propulsion unit Most of the time, I don’t need to work, and only occasionally adjust the attitude of the floating island or shift the position, sometimes it’s time... "

"Boom!" A muffled thunder-like sound interrupted the mage's words. At the same time, everyone felt the surrounding ground tremble violently, and then a strange sense of skew suddenly struck, as if the artificial gravity under their feet was recovering, but It seems that it forms an abnormal angle with the ground. Hao Ren looked up in surprise, only to find that there was an abnormal light erupting from the high wall-like hoop, brilliant and dazzling, as if there was a giant pillar of fire raging outside the wall.

More violent tremors continued to come, and gradually spread to farther places, and the entire floating island began to deflect under the tremors!

Lily's sixth sense of crisis was activated immediately. She looked up and her tail exploded: "The stars are flying!"

It's not the stars that are flying, but the entire starry sky is moving fast!

All the stars are quickly falling towards the direction where everyone is standing, as if the entire starry sky is tumbling, but in fact, it is the earth under everyone's feet that starts to tumbling. After a short period of surprise, the elf mage quickly realized what had happened, and immediately sent two people to check the situation on the top of the hoop (the monitor originally placed outside the wall had been destroyed by the big explosion), and the two mages flew to The edge of the dome took a look and reported loudly in horror: "There is still a part of the propulsion unit! It's activated! It is pushing the island of the rising sun away from the sun!" "The floating island is rolling! Other attitude thrusters are also randomly activated !" "It may hit the Island of Shining Light!"

At the same time as this accident occurred, the noise on the dome that was almost completely repaired suddenly began to increase again, as if there was a problem with the energy distribution system embedded in the hoop, and the energy of the shield generator was being extracted and sent to the local area. The propulsion unit that should be completely scrapped!

"Notify the core control tower," the elf mage quickly ordered, "start the propulsion unit on the opposite side, and first offset the one-way thrust here. Switch the artificial gravity of the island to self-adjustment by partition to offset the shock caused by the roll. Then Find a way to turn off that propulsion unit!"

"The core control tower is answering," the elf in charge of the order shouted loudly, "Which way to push?!"

The floating island is unilaterally advancing and under the action of a large number of out-of-control attitude engines, it is spinning away from the island chain. It is still in the slow acceleration stage, but if it cannot be stabilized as soon as possible, the entire island will soon experience a super earthquake and even be pushed forward. If the unit is torn apart, the propulsion unit on the opposite side of the island can handle this crisis, but if it starts in the same direction as the propeller on this side, the entire island will accelerate away from the island chain and may hit other islands on the way. If it starts to move forward, the Island of the Rising Sun will barely stay in the island chain, but its roll will speed up, which will bring a huge burden to the adjustment of the artificial gravity system, and may even lead to the accelerated disintegration of the island. The elf commander immediately fell into a dilemma. Should the main island risk disintegration to stay here, or should the other floating islands risk being hit to start advancing in the same direction

He couldn't make this decision.

"Her Majesty's order!" A herald suddenly shouted, "Don't spread to other floating islands, let the Island of the Rising Sun roll over!"

The elf mage was shocked: "But this will speed up the disintegration!"

"Her Majesty's oral order: All the entrances and exits of the Royal Quarter have been opened, and all the elves go to the Royal Quarter for refuge. After the island disintegrates, the Royal Quarter can still be preserved. It has independent walls and shields, and can persist until the rescue of other floating islands. All rescues The working group rescues on the spot for 24 hours, and if the propulsion unit cannot be shut down or separated after 24 hours, the rescue will be abandoned and we will take refuge together.”

"Is this going to give up the Island of the Rising Sun?"

"This is an order from Her Majesty the Queen—at least everyone's lives can be saved, and people on other islands will not be harmed."

The elf mage gritted his teeth and stared at the fire outside the high wall: "... This is where my ancestors lived for generations... Well, I understand, now stop the thrusters at all costs! Otherwise our family will be ruined!"

"The control system has failed, and now it uses a special energy supply pipeline. Cutting off the energy will cause the dome to shut down."

"Then blow it up!" The elf mage's eyes were almost bloodshot, "What about the cruiser? Send a bomb over there, at worst, blow up a bigger hole, it's better than disintegrating the entire floating island!" (To be continued ~^~)
