Hi there. Would you please proofread the following text? Any help would be appreciated.
****************************************************************************************************
Constructing two new larger versions of his Wormhole ring was not so straightforward, not so much because of the cost, but because some of the materials needed for the superconductor compound might attract unwanted attention. One example: the estimated fifty kilos of gold the devices required. Nothing he needed was dangerous or illegal, but a few things were rare and expensive, and because of the quantities he needed, more than a tad eyebrow-raising.
The reason for constructing two rings was just in case he screwed up and needed a backup to continue his work. Six months later, he had built the individual pieces and was ready to assemble them. He was nervous with anticipation and had to periodically pace the laboratory floor to walk off his nervous energy.
Finally, the new two-meter device stood on its platform, finished. Only waiting for the computer and power connections to be attached. When the moment finally came, Dylan clicked on the activation button. The wormhole formed as expected; an approximately four-hundred-millimetre vortex opened, but 3.9 seconds later, it closed. “Bugger”, said Dylan, and turned to the new probes on the bench and began a final check of their systems.
