They noted its construction, its power-plant, its controls every minute detail of structure, operation, and maintenance was taken from the captain's mind and was both recorded and visualized. The journey seemed to be a very long one, but finally the cluster of green suns became visible and the Fenachrone began to explore the solar systems in the area assigned to that particular vessel.
There was nothing going on in the area between the native barracks and the mountains except some sporadic firing as small patrols of Kragans clashed with clumps of fleeing mutineers. All the barracks, even those of the Rifles, were burning; the red-and-yellow danger-lights around the power-plant and the water-works and the explosives magazines were still on.
Well below the canyon as the warring vessels were, the power-plant and penstock did not suffer at all and only a few discharges struck the Forlorn Hope discharges which were carried easily to ground by the enormous thickness of her armor but every prominent object for hundreds of yards below the Hope was literally blasted out of existence.
The youth even went so far at times as to attempt an interference in the power-plant work, declaring that it did not proceed rapidly enough and that certain methods were at fault, to all of which Mr. Hooper turned a deaf ear.
If one of his motors fails, and he is over country which offers no suitable landing-place, the pilot with a duplicate power-plant need not be concerned. His remaining unit or units will carry him on.
"What's the good word, Doctor?" "So-so," replied the scientist. "The stuff is all they said it was, but we haven't enough of it to build much of a power-plant. We can't go ahead with it, anyway, as long as Seaton and Crane have nearly all their original solution." "No, we can't. We must find a way of getting it.
We should have something for defense I don't like the possibility of having that gang of pirates after us, and nothing to fight back with except thought-waves." "Right. We will do both those things. But we should make the power-plant big enough to avert any possible contingency say four hundred pounds and we should have everything in duplicate, from power-plant to push-buttons."
I'm afraid Pop Goode, at the city power-plant, is done for; nobody answers there, but the TV-pickup is still on in the load-dispatcher's room, and the place is full of geeks. Colonel Jarman's coming here with a lorry to get combat-car crews; he's short-handed.
The military airport's holding out, and I saw the red-and-yellow danger-lights on the fence around the power-plant." That meant the power-plant was, for the time, safe; somebody'd turned twenty thousand volts into the fence. "All right. I'm setting up my command post at the telecast station, where the communication equipment is." He turned to the crowd that had come out onto the porch from inside.
The thing to do now is to dodge that world." He searched the vessel for copper, ruthlessly tearing out almost everything that contained the metal, hammering it flat and throwing it into the power-plant. He set the bar at right angles to the line of their fall and turned on the current.
