Invisibility fell into disfavor, too, now that there were plenty of Solarian ships, for the Nigrans were more conspicuous when invisible than when visible. The radio detector could pick them out at once. The entire Nigran fleet was beginning to reveal the disorder and uncertainty that arose from desperation, for they were cornered in the most undesirable position possible.
In the midst of the battle, the Solarians began to wonder why the Nigran fleet was decreasing so rapidly certainly they had not caused all that damage! Then suddenly they found the answer. One of their ships then another and another fell victim to a pale red ray that showed up like a ghostly pillar of luminosity coming from nowhere and going nowhere! The answer?
"You remember those two substances we found in the Nigran ships during the war?" "Sure," said Fuller. "One was transparent and the other was a perfect reflector. You said they were made of light photons so greatly condensed that they were held together by their gravitational fields." "Right. We called them light-metal. But Wade said that was too confusing.
In a certain reaction, if a third element or compound is introduced, all reaction is stopped. I believe that's the principle of the Nigran death ray; it's a catalyst that simply stops the chemical reactions of a living body, and these are so delicately balanced that the least resistance will upset them." Arcot halted, and sat puffing furiously for a moment.
"Put it in the rear of the ship," Wade suggested. "We'll mount one of the Nigran telectroscopes." "Control room in the bow, of course," Morey chipped in. "I've got you," Fuller said. "I'll work the thing out and give you a cost estimate and drawings." "Fine," said Arcot, standing up. "Meanwhile, the rest of us will work out our little exhibition to impress Mr. Morey and Dad.
