The technology absolutely depends on the superconductors being extremely cold to work, and you're going to need a lot of liquid nitrogen to cool it all. Then again, if your lizard people are technologically capable enough to build Moria-sized caves, you might just be able to mumbo-jumbo your way past it. | |
