The small nuclear battery which energized the moisture-reclaimer, the heating units, and especially the air-restorer not only for turning its pumps but for providing the intense internal illumination necessary to promote the release of oxygen in the photosynthetic process of the chlorophane when there was no sun had been replaced by a chemical battery of a far smaller active life-span!
When they switched in the new current, the pumps of their equipment worked better at once. The internal lights of their air-restorers could be used again, augmenting the action of the pale sunshine on the photosynthetic processes of the chlorophane. The air they breathed improved immediately. They tested the power on the shaky ionics, and got a good thrust reaction.
The sweetish, starchy liquid that they could suck through a tube from the air-restorers it was a by-product of the photosynthetic process might even have sustained them for a considerable interval. But the steady weakening of their nuclear batteries was another matter. The pumps of their air-restorers and moisture-reclaimers were dependent on current.
