The distance between the settlement that had been rebuilt and the main base was about five hundred miles. With such a distance, these survivors would need three to four days to travel on foot to arrive, while for the acolytes it was about six hours by flying on the orbiter.
However, it wasn't a difficult distance for Emery to travel to. He could easily reach it with five successive casts of [Spatial Gate]. Unfortunately, this time it wasn't just any jump and was definitely far from how he used to do it.
He created a modified Spatial Gate about 30 meters wide, so the survivors would have more space to enter the gate and further shorten the time to transport them. But even with this arrangement, it would still take around 2 hours for 300,000 people to pass through one Spatial Gate.
