Chapter 27: Drive (2)
"That would be nice," said Jack. "I realize we won't be able to get full Internet access, but being able to at least do regular data transfers would be nice."
"True," said Madison. Then she asked, "By the way, how much does it cost to take snapshots and run simulations? And how much... Energy Points was it?...do you generate?"
"So, right now my EP capacity and generation rate are maxed and I won't be able to increase either until I can increase by soul strength. But that's looking like an unreachable goal because I need one trillion GP but I only have 10 billion points and the only way I have right now to earn that many would take thousands of years. So, I'm capped at 10 thousand EP per second with a storage limit of one trillion EP."
"That sucks about the GP. Maybe you'll discover a new type of achievement in the future."
"I sure hope so, 'cause right now that feature is just sitting there taunting me."
"I hear ya'," she said. "So, what about snapshot and simulation costs? Is one trillion EP enough? At your current EP rate, that would take like-"
"Three years, if I turn off everything and do nothing the entire time."
"Right, three years. So, at least you don't have to worry about any of your EP gen going to waste."
"Yes, that's why I maxed it."
