During dinner, Maria brought up an important question.
"Boys, we have a problem. At this rate of production and the saturation of the planet with technology, we'll soon be without energy resources!"
"I don't see any problem," laughed Nick. "We should fly to the Alliance and buy a batch of Power Stones."
"That's not the solution. You want to have a space defense station in orbit. In our case, it would have to be a very powerful station. Where are you going to get the power for the equipment?" Maria shook her head. "We need the technology to handle our resources. There are sources of Power Stones on the planet. But I don't know anything about this branch of Magethechnology. We have no specialists in this field among the aliens. It is a closed branch of knowledge. The hyperdrive and the portal and the power stone are the few secret developments from the center of the galaxy."
