Hana gazed at the reactor with keen interest.
"So this is the zero-point reactor? How has it managed to last so long?"
Elara explained. "1000 years isn't a long time for this reactor. It's designed to easily last for ten thousand years without any maintenance."
Gon asked, "And what fuel does this reactor use to produce energy?"
Elara answered. "It's quite complicated to explain, as it utilizes many principles from quantum physics to operate."
"But in simpler terms, it constantly creates energy without the need for an external fuel source."
Hana raised a concern. "Then, won't this explode if the energy keeps rising?"
Elara points towards various devices surrounding the reactor.
"These housings control the flow of energy, regulating how much comes in and out, ensuring everything remains in balance."
Then, pointing to another section, she added,
"That part over there produces nanomachines that maintain the reactor."
