"I hope so, Morey. If we don't, Lanor is lost beyond a doubt and probably Earth is, too. Wade come here a minute, will you? Let Fuller take the controls, and tell him to push it. We have to get to work on this." Rapidly Arcot explained their calculations and the proof he had gotten. "Our beam of molecular motion-controlling energy directs all molecular motion to go at right angles to it.
It is a little plaque, a disc of morlus, and on it there is a small map of the Solar System. On the reverse side there is a globe of Venus, with one of Earth beside it, as well as our men could copy the small globe you have given us. The northern hemisphere of each is depicted America, your nation, and Lanor, ours, thus being shown. We want you, and each of your friends, to accept these.
Far to the east and south of them the line of scout planes that patrolled all the borders of Lanor had been broken. Instantaneously, it seemed, out of the dark, its lights obscured, the mighty Kaxorian craft had come, striking a tiny scout plane head on, destroying it utterly before the scout had a chance to turn from the path of the titanic ship.
By devious ways we've learned that Kaxor has concentrated on the study of physics, perhaps in hopes of finding a weapon with which they could threaten us once more. Lanor has studied the secrets of the human mind and body. We have no disease here any longer; we have no insanity. We are students of chemistry, but physics has been neglected to a great extent.
Shortly thereafter they saw one of the high officials of Lanor come down the walk from the governmental building, walking toward the Solarite. "Time for us to appear and it may as well be all of us this time. I'll tell you what they say afterward, Wade. They've evidently gone to considerable trouble to get up this meeting, so let's cooperate.
It required diligent research to bring it to life again, for it is a very inefficient machine or was. Of late, however, we have been able to improve it, and now it is used in commerce to smelt our ores. It was this alone that allowed this city to put up the slight resistance that we did. We were surely doomed. This is the capital of Lanor, Sonor. We and the nation would have fallen but for you.
There are two enormous belts of land around the globe, one running from about 20 degrees north of the equator to about 80 degrees north. This is my country, Lanor. To the south there is a similar great belt of land, of almost identical size, Kaxor. These two nations have existed for many thousands of our years.
