Has passed fifty five hours of flight, and Ermakov declared that there has come time to turn "Hius" a mirror to the Sun and to
begin braking. Speed planetoleta by this moment reached thousand two hundred kilometres per second. Within the next forty
hours of "Hius" should move with negative acceleration concerning the Sun to come to meeting place with Venus with zero
speed.
All is Dauge has hasty explained Bykovu while they prepared a wardroom for turn: battened down a bookcase and buffet,
cleaned everything that could fall and move a little. Then on command from cabin all were attached to armchairs by belts.
Bulls waited for the sensations similar what to it should be tested in a transit time of "Boy", but all has managed much easier.
Thanks to Spitsyn's unusual art planetolet has turned over smoothly, quickly.
The second state of weightlessness has passed almost not noticed. Sitting in a wardroom it seemed only that the floor under
them has soared up sideways, for an instant remained in vertical position and again has smoothly risen on the place.
"Hius" rushed to the Sun reaktornymi rings forward, the photon reactor operated still, giving it constant acceleration in 10
metres per second for a second, but now speed planetoleta concerning the Sun continuously decreased. After a dinner of
Bulls has reminded Ermakovu of necessity to check up "Boy" on a radio-activity.
- Besides, - he has added, - though we and do not have bases to doubt durability of fastening of the container to case
"Хиуса", nevertheless not the sin to have a look, whether something was broke during turn. It is necessary to go and look.
- For a long time it is time, - has grumbled Jurkovsky.
- To go to look? - Ermakov has blinked the eyes. - I do not think that it so is simple...
- But after all we... I came to light time and again during former flights, - have got into conversation Jurkovsky.
- During former flights - perhaps. And now it is a question of leaving from planetoleta, moving uskorenno.
- Mm... - Jurkovsky has had a snack a lip, thinking.
