The D-1000 machines had brought tons of these portable generators into the pocket trial. However, when John had initially consulted Elena and the others about them, the feedback was disappointing.
These generators were designed to recharge depleted energy cells, but their output was frustratingly low. At their standard rate, it took many hours to top off a single energy cell.
Back at his own base, John's original plan had been to link every working energy cell to a network of these generators, hoping to create a recharge cycle fast enough to match the rate of depletion from his heavy artillery.
If that had worked, he would never have had to worry about his territory's power supply again. Yet, the sluggish charging speed had made that dream impossible. Linking those two problems together, John had spent his travel time ruminating on a way to shatter those limits using his theory.
