A brilliant stab of molecular ray shot at each from either of two of the Ancient Mariner's projectors as Morey aided Arcot. Their little packs flared brilliantly for an instant under the thousands of horsepower of energy lashing at the screen, then flashed away, and the opalescent relux yielded a moment later, and the figure went twisting, hurtling away.
The Guard ships went up to them fifty of them and tried to signal for a conference. The white ship was instantly wiped out we don't know how. They didn't have ray screens, but that wasn't it. Whatever it was slightly luminous ray in space it simply released the energy of the lux metal and relux of the ship.
"Squadron Commander Tharnton, what relux thickness does your ship carry?" "Inch and a quarter," replied the surprised voice of the commander. "Any of the other ships carry heavier?" "Yes, the special solar investigator carries five inches. What shall we do?" "Tell him to lower his screen, and let loose at once on all operating forts.
In a few moments a second enormous mass of cosmium was formed. For three hours Morey worked steadily, building a tremendous reserve of materials. Lux metal he did not make, but relux, the infusible, perfect conductor, and cosmium in tremendous masses, he did make.
That's from the radiated heat of our recent encounter. Heat rays reflected, light bombs turned off, heat escaping from ions nice little workout and it didn't seriously bother our defenses of two-inch relux. Now tell me: what will blow up four-foot relux?" asked Arcot, looking at the fragments. "It seems to me those fellows don't need any help from us; they may decline it with thanks."
"The ships arranged themselves in a circle around the place, and literally hundreds of men poured out of each and fell to work. In a short time, they had set up a number of machines, the parts coming from the ships. These machines at once set to work, and they built up a relux wall.
In six hours, Arcot had announced himself ready, and a squadron of Planetary Guard ships were ready to accompany the refitted Ancient Mariner. They approached the pole cautiously, and were rewarded by the hiss and roar of ice melting into water which burst into steam under a ray. It was coming from an outpost of the camp, a tiny dome under a great mass of ice. But the dome was of relux.
The capital is 'Shesto, our world we call 'Talso." His directions were explicit, and Arcot started for Shesto, on Talso. Fifteen minutes after they started, they came to Shesto. They were forced to land, and explain, for their relux ship was decidedly not the popular Talsonian idea of a life-saver.
Arcot opened the heavy relux door, leading the way into the next room, which was twice the size of the power room. The center of the floor was occupied by a heavy pedestal of lux metal upon which was a huge, relux-encased, double torus storage coil.
As though by magic the Thessian fleet cleared away from the Thought. The last one had not left, when Arcot shot a terrific cosmic ray toward the sphere. It was relux, and he knew it, but he knew what would happen when that cosmic ray hit it. The solometer flickered and steadied at three as that inconceivable ray flashed out. Instantly there was a terrific explosion.
