The surface is being studied. "In my opinion, many of the dark sides are shining. Some things reflect the stars; what I see is a little bit of light, twinkling and twinkling."

Lars said: "I can guess what it is." "It must be covered by frozen gas at least in the middle. Mercury has condensed there long ago."

The ship moved towards the edge of twilight, and then began to orbit the planet along the intermediate zone, where the sun could be seen peeking at the horizon at eternal dawn. There is a group of people on the radiation counter looking for evidence of the solar tap station. In the end, after passing a series of dark mountains, under the sun, the peaks glowed strangely and then shouted. Distortion is detected.

Once boarded, they again flew the spacecraft out into space and moved further under the sunlight. When they were observing the ground, Li Wei stared at the telescope audience.

He saw an ugly and terrifying world. The planet has a diameter of only 3,100 miles, while the diameter of the Earth is 7,900 miles, and there is actually no atmosphere. Its surface is toasted, hard and bright white, and the surface is covered with long and deep cracks that cut hundreds of miles into the shrinking and burning surface. There are some dark mountain areas, bare and jagged, and their metal surfaces make the diffuse glare darker. And there are spots everywhere on the surface, they are shiny, they may be spots of molten material.

Haines, standing next to him, murmured: "It can't be too far, not too far. How did they build it?"

Then Li Bai found what they wanted.

A huge gorge was in dilapidated condition on the plain. The chaotic mountains there gradually formed a chain from the twilight zone. At a corner, about 200 miles to the hot side, on a narrow ledge, the mountain descended and the valleys came together, where there was a circular structure.

Once they adjusted the sight of the telescope, they could see that it was a big station. It is surrounded by a featureless wall. It has no roof. On the mast above it stands a gleaming disc, pointing to the low-altitude sun.

On the top of the mountain just half a mile from the station, there is another series of masts. Their goal is to stay away from the sun, into the dark airless sky, and toward other planets.

"Accumulator and transmitter," Li Huai said. "We must get both."

Said: "Getting the launcher will be easy." "After closing the station, we will bomb the mountain mast to make it useless."

Li is broken. "Why, this has never happened, but why can't we bomb the station from the air? An atomic bomb should blow it up." He almost added, and you don't need me after all, but you suppressed your thoughts. He now realized that he would not give up anything.

"Like the station in the Andes, there is distortion, which will make it difficult to be hit. But I think if we do our best, we can do it. But this is not what we wanted in the first place. Important, very important, we can get the pictures and detailed information of the site from inside. We can’t just destroy the enemy’s devices, we have to learn from them, we have to find out how they work and how they are used.” This is Lockhart Talking. He added: "You better start working." "Are you ready?"

Haynes nodded reluctantly. "Yes." He ordered to turn to the three accompanying him, "Let's go."

Four explorers gathered near the exit. They put on space suits and strapped them to various equipment, weapons and working tools. They entered the cargo area of ​​the ship through the airlock. It communicates via helmet radio, instructing everyone what to do and where to park the boat.

The voice he heard warned them that he didn't want to keep the boat too long on the sunny and hot side. "We have noticed the accumulation of heat from the solar radiation on the skin. From the thermal radiation Mercury is accumulating too fast. We can't get rid of it if the two sides of this ship will heat up. When you land, I will ship Brought back the cold side."

"Well," Haines said. "We don't want to hang around here for too long."

Then, according to the predetermined arrangement, the four people sent their chosen work rocket onto the plank. There are several sizes of small exploration vessels. The first thing they thought of was a tractor, which was an airtight truck sealed on the wheels of the tractor that could climb to the station while the people inside were protected by air conditioning. But a quick investigation revealed that it overheats too quickly and may easily fall into one of many hotbeds. Therefore, they changed to a four-person rocket-propelled cargo plane.

The boat is airtight and pressurized. They have taken all precautions. The four were full of supplies. Then, when Magellan swooped down suddenly, the escape hatch opened, and under Faraday's control, the rocket plane shot out with a roar.

They ran at low speed on the burning ground, before them were wide, dark, forbidden canyons, across the plain. The rocket rushed into this canyon.

Steep rock walls rose above them, and suddenly they were in darkness. Immediately, as Faraday steered the rocket into a deep shadow away from the blazing sun, the aircraft's cooling system became more effective. With the help of radar, Li Huai found that the bottom of the thermal crack had fallen many miles.

They raced along the gap until they reached the mountain chain. Here, Faraday suddenly raised the nose of the plane, and they shot upwards, popping out of the shadows, into the sunlight.

Before they appeared, they had been shrouded in the hard walls of direct sunlight. The rocket plane stopped a hundred feet away.

Once stopped, Li Huai and Faraday jumped out, and their clothes were covered with white sheets to provide extra protection from the sun's rays. There was a long and awkward telegraph pole and plastic affairs between them.

Li Bad's foot touched the ground. Through the upholstered leather of the thick boots, he felt the heat, as if stepping on a stove. He moved quickly, and when they were rehearsing, he and the explorer photographed the rig together and set up a sparkling plastic skin anti-fall layer to protect the rocket plane. The plastic plate reflects the heat of the sun and cuts off a considerable part of the direct radiation, otherwise it will make the rocket aircraft unusable and inhabitable in the short term.

At sunset, Haynes and Bulton unloaded the portable anti-tank rocket launcher. Bolton remained motionless, pointed the launcher at the wall, and Haynes shot the long, evil long rocket into the tube. There was a silent flame and a dissipated white smoke. There is no air circulation and nothing can be heard.

When the shell hit, Li Badi felt the vibration of the ground. A wall cracked and collapsed.

When I saw it, I acted. Haines's voice rang in his ears, but Li Huai was already acting. Go back to the rocket plane and bring another umbrella!

He flew to the sun click station. Under slight gravity, he felt extremely strong, and the jump made him walk thirty feet forward. As he slid through the space above the surface, he opened the umbrella. Its exterior was painted white, partially shielding him from direct heat. He stood five steps and climbed over the broken wall. Bulton followed him, bringing another umbrella and a pack of arms.

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 living guard at this station. They searched carefully, but there was no sign of life. Bolton was working as a soldier, nothing more.
