Chapter 1528: Toward Urelon



The distance between Zoultan and Urelon was roughly 140 million kilometers at the time when City 3's rocket ship had taken flight. As a result, the ship had to push itself as fast as it could to cover such a massive distance in as short a time as it could.

Urelon was in fact moving toward them, and while one would assume it coming closer meant that the ship didn't have to travel at much, it turned out that the distance the moon covered before they reached it was negligible.

In fact, it had to be negligible. These humans could not afford to stay in the ship for more than a couple of days at best, and for that, they had to travel in space at the speed of nearly a thousand kilometers per second.

Compared to that, the measly 10-kilometer-per-second speed at which Urelon was traveling toward them in the vacuum of space was truly quite negligible.

At such a speed, these people would reach the other moon in just over 2 days. If not for the fact that accelerating up to such an absurd speed took time and energy, they could actually reach the other moon in less than 2 days of time.

The tip of the massive bulbous ship was now pointed toward the darkness of space, toward a tiny pinprick of light that one could barely even tell was a moon at all.

The job of the Attractors was over for a while, and all that remained was for the Burners and Breathers to pump out as much fire and air as they could into the thrusters to gain more speed.

Ning watched the people work for a while before realizing a small problem he hadn't thought of at all. And that was the fact that the space around Krimanax was in fact not fully vacuum.

No space was ever truly a vacuum. If not some space dust, there would always be high-speed hydrogen atoms, photons, and all sorts of subatomic particles buzzing around in the emptiness of space.

However, the space around Krimanax was more than just that. Spark flew out from the gas giant and saturated the space around it, which in turn introduced resistance for the rocket ship as it traveled toward its destination.

Thankfully, these people were more than prepared for it.

He then looked up. The major looked up, and so did everyone else.

Ning wondered what they were going to be looking at, so he looked up as well.

Suddenly, he heard loud noises from all around the hull of the ship, making him wonder just what was happening. The noise wasn't very loud, and the people in the hall only noticed it because they were focusing on it, but to Ning, it sounded like the ship was coming apart. Without hesitation, he teleported out of the ship, quickly maintaining a relative o velocity along with it. Then, he saw just what was happening on the outside.

Metal flaps, around half a meter wide, began opening from the surface of the ship. Hundreds, if not thousands of such flaps opened up at around 45-degree angle, opening in the direction they were moving in.

"What are they-"

Ning had only wondered for a split seconds when he saw exactly what they were doing.

Tiny bits of Spark dust that flew in the space made their way into the open hatch of the surface, gathering there.

Gathering.

'Wow!' Ning thought. 'They are gathering Spark!'

Ning went by the flaps to see more what he could. He quickly realized that each of these flaps was actually not isolated at all, and the opening all simply led to the same massive gap in the ship between the outer and inner hall.

A large matrix of shot metal rods connected the outer and inner ship, making sure that the outside hull didn't take that much damage.

Judging by the size of the ship and how much Spark had gathered in the time it had opened just now, Ning came to a rough conclusion that by the time they reached Urelon, these people would have gathered over 40 tons of Spark.

That was quite the amount of Spark to help them get started on the other Moon.
