Chapter 1535: Landing
Ning followed the ship as they weaved and dodged their way through the many asteroids in the asteroid belt, making their way toward the ship that would be going toward Urelon.
Along the way, they were hit by a couple of asteroids, none larger than a meter across. When they did get hit, the asteroid simply broke into pieces, while nothing happened to the ship at all.
There was not even a dent in it. Whatever the ship was made up of, it was way too strong.
Ning had only ever seen metals these strong on a few planets he had been in, so he was curious to know what it was. He would’ve most likely learned what it was by now if there was enough Spark to learn more Conversion during his training period.
He would have to wait for Berraine to teach him this one later.
They caught back to the ship quite quickly. It was incredible just how well the Thinkers could calculate everything in their mind. They even knew where exactly the ship would be, which was an impossible thing to calculate without a high-powered computer.
The ship arrived at the size of the decelerating larger ship and flew into it through one of the larger panels that opened up. Once they were inside the ship, Ning entered the ship as well.
He quickly went to check on his illusion, and there was no problem with it. ‘He’ was still sleeping as far as anyone could tell and no one had bothered to wake him up just yet it seemed.
Ning went to the top of the ship. Due to the deceleration, the direction of gravity that the people felt due to inertia had changed. Instead of being pushed back, they were now pushed front.
However, because the entire ship had rotated at some point, the gravity was still working in the proper direction for everyone.
Ning went to the front of the ship, which was now facing in the opposite direction, away from the moon they were arriving on.
Everyone was tied to their place, strapped to one thing or another as the ship began its final stretch toward the moon.
Since the ship was still moving at quite a speed, the first thing they did was slow it down even further. The thrusters had stopped working a long time ago to let the speed die down on its own, but that was not enough at all.
It was time to activate the again. Only they were now pointed toward the moon they were arriving on, so it would help slow them down.
Everyone felt the effect of gravity increase on them suddenly as the ship slowed down faster than a normal rate. It was slowing down so fast that a lot of the people that were awake began passing out.
The effect lasted only for a few seconds, but a lot of the people who were creating Air and Fire to use the thrusters were knocked out themselves.
When they came to again, they waited for more command before doing anything else.
The Thinker’s job was the most vital now, so the one at the top of the ship had begun consuming Spark to make more quick judgments so that he could land the ship safely.
His thoughts were fast and many, and his mouth certainly couldn’t keep up with everything he was thinking. Thankfully, the Connector that was connected to his mind could read what he thought and immediately transfer it to everyone who was on standby.
Another few bursts of thrusters were used to slow down the ship even further. So as to not let the ship deviate in terms of its tilt during descent, many of the Attractors were also made to keep the top half of the ship being pulled in the direction of Krimanax.
Then, even from the top of the ship, the sight of the moon began coming into view.
Urelon was a beautiful moon with yellow and red dirt and little to no atmosphere at all.
The descent itself wouldn’t be much of a problem in terms of air resistance, but there was still enough atmosphere where they needed to be careful enough.
That was why they had done what they had done. As they got closer and closer, every Attractor that was working on the ship activated their powers at once, connecting to Krimanax once again.
Now, the ship was being pulled toward Krimanax, while gravity and momentum kept the ship moving toward Urelon. Due to Krimanax, the ship would slow down even further, until there was absolutely no speed at which the ship was moving at all.
It was like tying the ship by a thread to Krimanax and slowly lowering it to Urelon.
The science was perfect, and all that they needed was proper application. That was where the Thinker’s part was so important.
The Thinker calculated everything. All the way from the tilt to the speed to the damage the ship would take if things went awry.
He gave individual people instructions on how much power they were to use and when.
The ship slowed down almost to a crawl.
Thankfully, the people inside the ship still experienced gravity. The ship was being pulled in both directions, but the people inside were not affected in that way.
They were only affected by the stronger of the two gravity, and considering how far away Krimanax was, they were only affected by the gravity of Urelon.
The ship moved slowly, but surely toward the moon, getting lower and lower and lower as each minute passed.
People were now allowed out of their place, allowed to see the ship landing.
Ning arrived at the side of the window and could see the large mountains and valleys from where he was. As the ship lowered, he saw 2 other giant bulbous ships, already landed on the
ground.
As the ships grew bigger and bigger, Ning felt a sudden thud as the ship he was on came to a
halt.
They had finally landed on Urelon.
