The Professor says that if the energy from the line of stone
markers could be sent to a weapon it could be fired at whoever is coming
over the hills at them.
Captain Zhang mentions extraterrestrials who came to impose
lines on the earth and he thinks that "Someone" is interested in the
visto rather than the line itself. He goes on to talk about acupuncture
and Captain Shelby complains about having to listen to him talk. Mason
or Dixon says it will used as evidence of Zhang's insanity.
Dixon compares the earth to a human body and Mason objects that
there is no "inner surface." Dixon asks if Mason has been to the "End"
to see.
Stig says that he has spoken to people from further north than
him who have been inside the hollow earth. Mason moans at hearing the
hollow earth theory, which he has heard too often in the past.
Dixon says that Emerson and Lud Oafery are hollow-earthers.
Mason says that Newton's figures on the density of the earth negate the
hollow earth theory. Dixon remains enthusiastic about the possibility of
a hollow earth.
