第7話: TaoがSolarisを探検し、乗組員は隠された太陽光発電装置を使って追手をかわす。

7

Once aboard the Solaris, Tao uses his Heva encyclopedia to figure out how the ship works. He also reveals his mysterious gold jar which is another artifact of his people. Once underway, everyone's interest is drawn to a strange gold cube below deck that has no openings. Soon a Spanish galleon shows up with Señor Gomez and Captain Gaspard aboard. Tao and Esteban rush to figure out how the cube works and Esteban finds a hidden lever that deploys a metal sail from the main deck. The sail captures the sun's energy and powers a series of automated oars which allows the Solaris to outrun the pursuers. Mini-Documentary: The Panama Canal, forts in Panama and piracy in the Caribbean. (Source: Wikipedia)
