" Perry Rhodan 0039 - (31) Realm of the Tri-Planets" - читать интересную книгу автора (Perry Rhodan) "Tough luck!" Bell muttered. "Arkon happens to be exactly on the opposite side of the sun. Is the
tele-transmitter going to shove us through that white-hot ball of fire?" "If a body is extraneous to a certain type of energy its matter can be considered as nonexistent in its effect," Rhodan said authoritatively. "Khrest, I need data about the inclination of the trajectory plane and the ecliptic, precise orbit velocities and gravitational conditions." The Arkonide scientist went to work at once. In the new nose section of theGanymede an extremely nervous officer got ready for the start of the long-distance reconnaissance ship. The new ships of the Gazelle type were shaped like disks and measured 100 feet in diameter. They had impulse engines and were equipped with hypertransition field generators. As fighting machines they performed with respectable clout if the right man was at the controls. Julian Tifflor admirably filled that bill. The inner door of the compression chamber, was open. The fact that the outer hatch was to be kept closed at first seemed normal to the cadet. When he began to think about itтАФhow Rhodan wanted to get the bulky Gazelle out of the forward hangarтАФhe felt a little weak. It suddenly dawned on him when he saw the members of the technical team rush into the room containing the tele-transmitter Rhodan had taken from theStardust . "Great Jupiter!" he whispered breathlessly. "Not with that!" 10/ TERRANIA ANNEXES THETITAN Next to the super-battleship the half-mile-longGanymede looked like a good size lifeboat. As the men of the reinforcement commando poured out of the air hatches to jump across the distance of 200 feet into the gaping gates of the mammoth, they had to make special efforts to keep from flipping their minds over the sheer mass of the monster. "Detachment Tanner, second gate from left!" the command came over their helmet radios. "Turn the defence shield of your combat suit up to full strength after you enter the normal air pressure. Do not open your suit! YouтАЩll run into very high temperatures." The 800 men boarding the vessel were armed with heavy duty disintegrators which despite their bulk could be operated with two hands. Freyt had decided to use also the hatches at the lower pole for mounting his attack in an attempt to force the robots who were still intact and capable of reasonable actions to fight on a second front. TheGanymede troops brought armament and equipment which was not available to RhodanтАЩs taskforce. If there were any Arkonide combat suits with built-in energy sources and defence shields aboard the supership, they had not yet been found. Tifflor, standing close to the main antigrav elevator, showed the incoming troops the way. |
