"Can the Star Gate's transmission method be changed?" A thought flashed through Jiang Yan Hai's mind, and he immediately asked.
"It can, but the energy consumption is currently too great," Er Dan replied directly.
"How much energy?" Jiang Yan Hai immediately asked.
"50,000." Er Dan gave him an astronomical figure.
Jiang Yan Hai immediately gave a bitter laugh. Absorbing one piece of Star Gate manufacturing material ore only yielded a little over 200 energy points. Fifty thousand?
"How much Star Gate manufacturing material ore is there on Earth?" Jiang Yan Hai asked tentatively.
"Any planet capable of giving rise to civilization possesses Star Gate manufacturing materials, but the amount is not large. Converted into energy, the total is roughly between five million and ten million energy points. Furthermore, the Star Gate manufacturing materials are distributed across all planets in the planetary system where that civilization is located," Er Dan said bluntly.
Jiang Yan Hai: "..."
Five million to ten million energy points. Based on roughly 200 energy points per piece of Energy Ore, that came to around 50,000 pieces! The key point was that those 50,000 pieces were scattered throughout the entire planetary system!
"How much would it take to manufacture a Star Gate like the Alpha-3 Type?" Jiang Yan Hai raised another question.
"20,000 energy points' worth of Star Gate material ore." Er Dan gave a figure.
"So little?" Jiang Yan Hai froze. That number was far lower than he had imagined.
It was even less than changing the Star Gate's transmission method?
"The energy needed to maintain a Star Gate is not supplied by Star Gate material ore. The energy maintaining the Star Gate also comes from the universe itself. Manufacturing a Star Gate merely detonates the Star Gate materials to create a distortion point that pierces space,
