In the vast expanse of space, Tom's only Venus-class Battleship was currently undergoing a full-load acceleration test.
First, the four thrusters on one side of the spherical spaceship simultaneously propelled at full power, accelerating it rapidly at 30 meters per square second. This continuous thrust lasted for 2 minutes, increasing its speed to 3.6 kilometers per second. After that, the four thrusters on that side shut down simultaneously, and the four thrusters on the opposite side fired, decelerating it violently.
Yes, this spherical spaceship has engines on every side!
On the entire spherical surface, Tom had installed a total of 12 high-thrust methane-oxygen engines, which could be conveniently activated at any time, anywhere.
This saved the time required to change its orientation. These 12 engines worked in conjunction, allowing for an immediate reaction regardless of which direction it needed to maneuver.
