"The light-matter windows we found in the wrecked enemy ships contain enough bound light-energy to run all the planes we could make in the next ten years! We're going to have the enemy supply us with power we can't get in any other way. I can't decide, Arcot, whether you deserve a prize for ingenuity, or whether we should receive booby-prizes for our stupidity."
It's only a guess, of course but I have an idea where this kind of matter exists in the solar system. I think you have already seen it in the gaseous state. You remember, of course, that the Kaxorians had great reservoirs for storing light-energy in a bound state in their giant planes.
They spent the next hour in discussing the manifold details involved in the design of their space ship: the mechanism involved in transferring the light-energy to the drivers; a means of warming the ship in interstellar space; a main horizontal drive for forward and backward motion as well as braking; three smaller vertical power units to give them freedom of direction in climb or descent; other smaller horizontal power units for turning and moving sideways.
This might be due either to a greater understanding of the laws of physics i.e., the ability to manipulate light-energy in this manner, or to some purely psychic power volitional, etc. Of course, all such speculations as these are purely fantastic, until some proof of their possibility be forthcoming.
The only other method of storing energy we know of is the method used by the Kaxorians in driving their huge planes. "They use condensed light-energy. This is efficient to the ultimate maximum, something no other method can hope to attain. Yet they need huge reservoirs to store it.
Each ship, both speedster and mother craft, was equipped with an invisibility locator, a sensitive short-wave directional receiver, that would permit the operator to direct his rays at invisible targets. The ships themselves could not be made invisible, since they depended in their very principle on the absorption of light-energy.
That was full of gaseous light-energy held together by its own attraction, plus a little help of the generator!" "A little help?" Wade exclaimed. "Quite a little! I'll bet that thing had a million horsepower in its motor!" "Yes but I'll bet they have nearly fifty pounds of light condensed there so why worry about a little thing like a million horsepower?
