Chapter 758:

The inside of the station is cool-the walls are high enough to form a shadow inside. Just like the station in the Andes, but bigger and bigger.
Bulton joined him, folded his umbrella calmly, and pulled a pneumatic pistol from his belt. "Who to see?" he asked.
"No."
Li Huai remembered that there might be a live guard at this station. They searched carefully, but there were no signs of life. Bolton was working as a soldier, nothing more.
When Bulton set up his photographic equipment, Lee Wai walked around the glittering globe and strange electron tubes, which were the nerve center of the station. He finally found the same type of control panel as the Andes station.
He hesitated for a moment, wondering if this was the original accusation after all. He hoped that there might be another charger globe, but he didn't see it. It will depend on him.
He put his gloved hand on the controller. He worried that perhaps the charge would not be conducted through the insulation and cooling material of his clothes. He puts and then knows that it is.
The pulsation of the sphere stopped. The faint vibration under his feet dropped sharply. He kept putting, and suddenly the station broke down. Above him, a huge disc on the top of the mast suddenly broke, and without an exit channel, this had become an impossible force to concentrate.
"The Mercury at the solar pumping station is dead," Li Huai said quietly into the helmet phone.
At that moment, a distant globe perched on a pedestal on a wall far from other equipment, emitting a dazzling red.
In an artificially constructed room somewhere in the solar system, a wise man sits in front of a pile of instruments designed to attract his attention and involve various factors related to his species. This work has performed the average time required for such a task, and there has been little conscious attention to the routine-because there has been no report for a while.
So far, the channel descent from Planet 3 has not attracted much attention. The other smart people involved think that the problem may be weather conditions, volcanic eruptions, or simply believe that the earth is in an unfavorable orbit. Not all sites work at the same time. Some are always behind the sun or blocked in other ways. But the main channels are working, and different routes and changes continue to be established satisfactorily.
But now something is happening that makes the observer's attention more focused on his instrument. A small face of his panel flashed a color at the lowest end of its visible spectrum. It is impossible to tell how the color was registered; the inhabitants of the third planet would call it red.
Through a well-trained response, the observer activates the complete signal. In an instant, a scene appeared before his eyes. There is the interior of a major site on Planet One. It had no effect, and now two strange creatures turned their heads and looked at him directly. They are bipeds, with two arm-like extensions, block-like bodies, wrapped in large white folds. They were wearing clumsy helmets, and he could see his eyes were covered by thick transparencies.
One of these creatures raised his arm, and there was a cloud of steam. Then the line of sight flashed, but not before the trained observer activated the crash mechanism.
If the observer is closer to the station in space, the destruction will be faster. Unfortunately for him, the speed of light and radio pulses is limited, so the destruction pulse reaches the planet in only a few minutes.
Soon after, after the guide had digested the news, they were ready to make the ship sail to the sun to investigate and eliminate the interference.
When Li Huai turned to look at the red flash, his heels turned sharply. Bolton reached out to aim and fired.
When compressed air blows out the dart from the gun, there is a jet of steam. The glowing globe was pierced, a small explosion occurred, and then the globe and its base disappeared.
"What's that?" Li Badi cried.
Bolton was holding a gun. "Some kind of signal-it may be a warning. My guess is that this is an alarm indicating that the remote control panel in this place has failed. Please help me with the photos; I think we better leave and hurry!"
Without wasting more time, the two shot the scene quickly, just like the click of blinds. Then they picked up the camera, picked up the umbrella, and broke through the wall.
When they flew to the shielded rocket plane for the first time, the sun clicked on the globe in the station to take off. They blew up like a chain reaction, and within a few seconds, the interior of the walled station fell down, turbulent metal, beams, wire and sharp transparent fragments.
Haynes and Faraday were about to take off, smoke from the exhaust. He didn't bother to remove the plastic sunscreen and fell into the cabin. Before the door closed, Haines lifted the boat and sailed into the dark depths of the canyon.
The inside of the plane is hot. Shielding used to be temporary protection, but even the ground emits heat like an oven. They had to look for the cold of the canyon without sunlight to release some heat. It would be disastrous to fly directly to Magellan without cooling the plane.
Magellan appeared from the cold side to meet them. From high up in space, they saw that they did not need to bomb the masts of the mountain repeaters because the same alarm that triggered the station broke them.
After Magellan had scuttled back to the cold end, there was a war council in the control room. And described what happened very carefully.
Lars said thoughtfully: "This must be their main location." "No matter what they try to guide from the sun on other planets, they all start from here. The first and strongest solar energy transfer is bound to be. Coming. This power station may be the last to be built and the final connection.
Therefore, they installed an alarm. "
Lockhart said: "Ah, even if they do, will they destroy the train station? After all, they usually figure out how to fix what went wrong."
"In my opinion," Bull said, "the red flashing light itself did not start to destroy. There is a delay before it starts-a few minutes must pass-maybe, is the observer being alerted?"
"Where?" Bulton said. "There is no place to guard in the stands. We didn't see any signs."
"Maybe deep underground?" Suggested the engineer Caton. "They may have a residential area a few miles below."
Lars Clyde said: "Extremely impossible." "It's still too hot, remember, these people plan to burn Mercury and the inner planets. They must have been burned from the edge of the system. The delay may be a valuable clue. The control station on the other planet can see what is happening and take action. If you can find out exactly how many minutes and seconds have passed between the flashing of the red light bulb and the explosion, we can calculate the approximate distance."
However, unfortunately, it is impossible to accurately determine the time. And there is no time to look at his watch.
They hung on the icy side of Mercury for several hours, and the two astronomers figured out the next move. After determining the orbit, Magellan turned his huge nose away from the sun, and a gleaming white disk dominated the dark sky of outer space. Under the effect of full power, they moved away from the smallest planet and began a long fall towards the second planet of the sun. Some people think this is the covered twin Venus on the earth.
It is about 30 million miles away, and will always fight the attraction of the sun.
