Chereads / The Princess Of The Heroes / Chapter 12 - Part 12

Chapter 12 - Part 12

After the crash of that triangle spaceship, the municipality responsible for river Thames took it and kept it in a garage of taken cars and bicycles that their owners put in forbidden places. So, after learning this piece of information, Ralph and Vector go toward the municipality, disguised as two secret agents. And ask for the spaceship to carry it out with them under the name of the Queen of Earth. As soon as they take it and put it in a big truck that the municipality owns, they go toward one of empty motorways in London. Vector stops driving the truck in a specific place. Hamilton calls the abode to open the secret tube. And suddenly a little part of the street disappears behind the truck to find then the tube. So Marcillivia backs the car into the tube. Then they find themselves in the seventh floor of the abode where there are Aquana, Dubois and Vederova waiting for them. The French and the Russian carry out the spaceship and put it where Aquana wants, while the "secret agents" come back to the highway to give the truck back.

Frank is checking the ship by walking slowly around it and he never stops muttering: "Wow... mon Dieu... wow... c'est magnifique..." cause of its perfection in everything you imagine in this spaceship even if it's broken now, while Steve is just sitting over a car and drinking.

When Dubois stops "hanging", Aquana asks him and next to him there is a device seems as a long arm finishes in its top by a tight black rectangle:

Philip: Have you finished your "race" yet?

Frank: Yes, I've finished it.

Philip: Good, because we don't have much time and I have to explain to you and Steve few things. This device, next to me, shows us all the damage inside and outside the broken machine and what the mechanic failure is. Also, it divines what its form is, even if that machine is completely destroyed.

Steve: You're genius.

Philip: Thanks man.

Frank: I have a question.

Philip: What is it?

Frank: This spaceship is enough for one person, and we are eight people and new members will join us.

Philip: I think you weren't focusing well with the princess during her speech; she said that we'll make another spaceship, enough for more than at least ten people, using some unbroken parts of the spaceship and depending on its form and how does it work.

Frank: Sorry, I was thinking about Christina. She wants a car and...

Steve: @/*/# her.

Philip: Steve, clean and good people never say bad words!

Steve: I asked you to not think about this "scorpion" again! Just finish your relationship with her! She's literally eating you!

Frank: Do not speak about my fiancée as this way! You know that I refuse that completely!

Steve: (muttering) She thinks herself a queen...

Frank: I heard you!

Philip: Kids, stop fighting. Fight about the "donkey monkey" (Frank looks at him, surprised and angry) later on and let's focus on our dangerous mission. If we're late, Mina will be dead.

Steve: Mina had to wait for more few days. Because now the success or the failure of our mission depends on the luck and how much we are fast.

Frank: And especially the luck. If we couldn't build the new spaceship and correctly, we wouldn't take Mina from the Universal Jail and we couldn't save her.

Steve: Above all, she can't hear us, she can't know if we're ready to come or not.

Philip: Guys! Stop! Stop being very very very pessimistic! This is not the first time Mina gambles our lives and the mission on the luck. Be a bit optimistic, a bit, man! Stop blabbing and let's work! Chicken donkeys monkeys... Now ... I called both of you because you are plane and car experts and you have to discover exactly how does this machine work, what are its points of strength and weakness and what's the similar between it and normal cars and planes.

Steve: (he gets close to the spaceship) When we look at its engine, we discover that it seems a lot like the plane one. Besides, this metal which covers the body is so strong that it didn't get burned while passing through the atmosphere.

Philip: Means though this, we can dissolve the metal? Isn't?

Steve: If the heat is much hotter than the atmosphere's.

Frank: I think that Veranians can do it.

Steve: If they can bear it... Maybe...

Frank: It has as I think a very strong engine.

Steve: There are no hatches for the wheels...

Frank: Means it doesn't need to "run" to take-off!

Steve: Wow! How?

Philip: It's not really weird. The helicopter doesn't need also to "run" to take-off.

Frank: The helicopter has landing skids and sometimes wheels to land, but this one doesn't have...

Steve: Frank, come here...

The French comes and stands next to the Russian who is gazing underneath one of wings; there is a little rectangle in the top of the wing, contains three little rectangle holes. Vederova discovers also that this rectangle is made of the same metal of the whole spaceship. Suddenly the inventor says:

Philip: And now please, let this device does its job; it may answers your questions.

Philip takes a white digital pad and pushes an "electronic" button. Abruptly the device runs rapidly and around the broken machine. There is a blue light comes out of the tight rectangle like a comb with long teeth. The "comb" moves up and down, right and left and turns. Finally, its stops moving and we hear a voice from the laptop saying: "Damage is identified and the main shape is projected, transmission is in progress".

Steve: What will it transmit?

Philip: Transmission of the information to the laptop.

The voice says again: "transmission is done". Frank and Steve stand next to Philip to watch the digital pad.

The laptop: This machine is a mean of space transport according to the advanced technology unavailable on Earth. It's made to travel between planets according to the very strong metal able to bear the heat of the atmosphere. The cause of malfunction is getting hit by shots which contain tiny and invisible robots to ruin the engine.

We see a 3D diagram for the spaceship and there are pieces of information on each part of it. And suddenly Vederova pushes the picture of that rectangle with three holes. And so it becomes bigger and the picture of the whole machine disappears. The laptop "says" again:

The laptop: This piece is so important in the machine; it's the responsible for the flight, the landing and the take-off of the spaceship with the help of three projectiles in the back of the spaceship. There are two pieces of this part of the machine, underneath the two wings.

Frank: (after he got the answer of his question) A... That's how it does work...

Steve: I suggest using these two pieces, instead of wheels. What do you think?

Philip: Agreed.

Frank: I don't mind...
