Hi,
I would try opening it up and check around the area where the power supply is located.
This guide covers the opening process:
Replacing Sega Dreamcast Power Block (Power Supply)
You will most likely find a burned component in the power supply board. If you own or have access to a soldering iron, you could try replacing the damaged components. Alternatively, could buy a new US Dreamcast power supply on eBay for around 20 dollars and replace it with the faulty one.

It can turn on but can’t read disc. Is it wrong with the power supply or the main board ?
This may be because it is a NTSC system. If you try to run PAL based video games it wont run. You will need a NTSC game for a NTSC system otherwise it will not accept the discs.

What do you mean when you say it got "burnt"? Please add an image showing the damage

I don't have the device right now. I plugged in a 220v adapter and a burnt smell came out.

Ok then before you do anything you should open it up to see if there is any phisical damage. Try to get the device and open it. https://youtu.be/FkKvaSmwRm0?t=39

I haven't opened it. Do you think anyone can repair it ?

You could look up online for a repair shop near you. Sega® has ceased support for the Sega Dreamcast. Before you do that, however, I would open it up to check to see if there actually is damage.
