Chapter 498: Lifeboat
"No matter how I look at it, it doesn't feel normal. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Shepard lowered his voice and said to Dumbledore: "Professor, look at Mike, Dogian and Diana, what happened to the three of them?"
Ever since Beta left, Zhao Mai had been sullen and devoted all his energy to casting spells to repair the ship. He is not physically unlimited, and after a period of magic, he goes to "eat" to replenish the consumption of his body. Through self-evolution, the energy produced by the same food is already very different, and he doesn't have to eat like crazy anymore, but this step is still unavoidable.
Every time Zhao Mai went to eat, he avoided everyone's attention, but Diana knew it very well. She could understand, but she still couldn't accept Zhao Mai's behavior. However, because there was no better solution to save everyone, Diana felt quite useless, sulking alone. For the first time, she understood that just because she had learned so many combat abilities on the Amazon did not mean that she could become a savior.
Dogian is even more bizarre. Ever since Beta left, she has been caught in a rut. On the one hand, he trusts Zhao Mai very much, everything he says is right, and he will carry out any of his orders, but on the other hand, he doesn't want to get close to him, and seems to be a little disgusted. Since a new balance had not yet been formed, Duo Jian always looked at Zhao Mai very seriously, his eyes were focused like an admirer, but there was not much passion in it. Shepard observed it a few times, and always felt that it was like the eyes of a wild beast staring at its prey.
"Actually, I don't really understand men and women, but I do understand one thing, have you forgotten that all three of them have strong hearings?" Dumbledore smiled at Shepard, "My advice is, don't meddle in things that you don't understand, trust our friends to solve problems, and go out of their way to help them when they need it." Are you right?"
"Of course!" Shepard replied categorically.
With a steady source of energy, Rodney got busy. Based on the information he had previously obtained, he planned a plan to repair the ghost ship, which would ensure maximum efficiency and success. "The life support system should be restored first, and I rechecked the information you sent back during your battles and explorations, and made sure that the system has its own energy system and can work independently. ”
"In case you don't know: Repair spells can only be used to restore old things with similar materials, not to create new ones. Dumbledore and I were only able to restore the parts of the ship that belonged to the creatures, and it was impossible for the ghost's equipment to be recreated. You must take this into account when you do your calculations. ”
"Yes, Mr. Dumbledore has said it before, so that's why I made this plan. Rodney said, "We can't restore the whole ship, it won't be able to fly." The Ghost replaces the organs of some of the ship's creatures with its own equipment, which does improve the performance of the entire ship, but also destroys the abilities of the ship's creatures. Without the equipment created by the ghosts, the spaceship creatures themselves could not enter the speed of light by repairing the parts that could be restored by the spell. The only way to do this is to reduce the weight drastically. If possible, I'm prepared to leave only the five percent of the core parts. ”
"Five percent, are you sure you can do that?" Zhao Mai didn't understand these scientific things, so he asked.
"Trust me, I would never joke with my life. Rodney said, "I've calculated, you need to repair at least about sixty percent of the hull first, so that you can make and store enough energy for the entire ship." After that, the surrounding auxiliary parts had to be dismantled, leaving only the most important five percent of the whole ship before it could fly out. ”
"You know this ship is a creature, right?"
"Yes, I understand. Rodney said to Zhao Mai: "I know that the current situation is like growing arms, legs and torso for him, and then cruelly tearing them down when the time comes." I'm sorry, Mr. Mack, but that's the limit of what I can do. ”
"Then I'm going to keep the bridge. Zhao Mai said: "The bridge saved our lives, but without the materials here, I can't recover it from five percent, it will die again." If only five percent of it gets out of here, I'm going to have at least a funeral for it. ”
"Ah, I'll need to do the math, but I think there's hope. Rodney looked at Zhao Mai's serious eyes and wiped his sweat nervously: "Can we continue?"
Zhao Mai nodded and waved his wand again. He dragged the wreckage of other ships from space, and then used the materials to repair his own ship. More and more areas have been restored, and the environment is getting better and better. By the time the most important half of the hull had been repaired, it was able to feed on its own and begin to regenerate.
"What a tough creature. Everyone was in awe. A creature still half mutilated, with the last instinct, struggles to survive in the cosmic garbage dump. Zhao Mai didn't need to wave his wand everywhere, he only needed to keep in touch with the spaceship on the bridge, use the Force of Nature to alleviate its pain, and continue to treat it to help it recover from its wounds.
"It's a pity that the ship's brain can't be recovered. If I had a brain, I would have to find a way to keep it alive. Zhao Mai pointed to the main console: "This change of the ghost to the spaceship is permanent, and even the spaceship itself does not know how to recover from this injury. We no longer know if it was a wise and splendid civilization in the past. ”
"It's a pity. Dumbledore also nodded, agreeing with Zhao Mai's statement: "In the past, there were real dragons on the earth, with four claws and wings, and there were six or even nine claws in the east. But then, these magical creatures slowly disappeared, taking with them the wisdom and civilization they represented. Now the dragon, which has only two independent claws, can only be called a beast, and it has lost its former glory. If I could go back in time, I'd love to see the dragon's majesty and see what the spaceship creatures looked like. ”
"I think the same way, that's why I keep traveling. Zhao Mai said to Dumbledore, "Professor, would you like to travel around with me?"
"Oh, now I don't have that kind of idea, I just want to teach more students so that they can travel around, broaden their horizons, and make the world a better place. Dumbledore shook his head, "At least you're one of those students, aren't you?"
"That's right. Zhao Mai nodded, then turned to Rodney and said, "How are we preparing?"
Dr. Mackay looked at his instrument and said, "The basics of energy reserves have passed, but the more you have, the better, and it doesn't hurt to have a surplus." I reckon that another half day will do...... You'll have to dismantle the ship again. ”
"I understand. Zhao Mai nodded: "Let me communicate with it for a while, at least find a way, don't let it be too painful." ”
The corners of Shepard's mouth were crooked, and he made a "z" sound, which attracted Zhao Mai's attention, and then pointed at Diana with his finger and glanced at Zhao Mai. Wonder Woman stood silently, looking out through the porthole at the endless starry sky.
