In a voice of the English admiral Harry Mathewson irony notes wereheard.
Parkers waited for this question therefore has immediately answered:
– Sir! There are all bases to believe that the Russianshave intentionally leaked to us this information! TheGerman military who has settled down among generals from Sweden, Austria, Norway and Switzerland haverustled, conferring among themselves. They weren't ready to forgive to the USA the criminals who havepoisoned the world with the X107 system yet. A recent debate because of attempts of Germany to incline theEuropean Union to an exit from NATO and to form own block hasn't abated. Then only intervention of GreatBritain, Russia and, strangely enough, North Korea with her promise to close programs for neutron weapon(she has executed it), have forced the Germans to choose a way of the world and the help to patients. Thegeneral Shteyne, the young officer of land infantry, has cried out from the place:
– And who checked reliability of this information? Again, only doctors from the USA?
– Don't consider all our attempts to be ahead for lack of foresight. They invite, thus, us to join, put an end to wars. It and our chance to provide Earth with clever people whom there are enough benefits existing not it. They won't be torn to take control of the stranger or to make some wild action that is to him they are toonot provided. Systems of space exploration will bring up billions of people clever and happy lives, thesituation. For all there will be enough work on the computer with a simple check of the result: your car is broken or works. "Manual labors" which won't be too heavy will be enough for all and much. These peoplewill help to create self-starters which will release all necessary over time.
Reduction of prices because of growth of the quality of cars – already an occasion to begin development of space in common. Such prospect for the benefit of all mankind.
And itself, it is unexpected for itself, has aloud repeated a thought of the great-grandfather, Hugh Parkers:
– It is necessary to learn to cooperate with the Russians. And then the Western world in the union with Russiawill be able to make real miracles.
The skilled general Parkers were able to understand people, including, politicians. He knew that his wordshave made an impression. Decisions on development of own space cybernetic program by the countries of NATO it is accepted for a long time, let and by the principle of rivalry with Russia. Parkers has imperceptiblygrinned. Tell him who a year ago that he will work for the benefit of Russia, he would strangle such personown hands. Yes, but he worked also for the benefit of Russia. Another thing is that in this situation interestsof Russia were first of all hopes of his own country and the whole world to make mankind clever, intelligentand noble.
Working Place: Asteroids' Belt
Irina has entered an office stepping a fast.
– How progress? – she asked, sitting down on the panel.
– Well! It will be possible to start unpacking soon, – Neil answered, without coming off the screen.
– Was the delivery place defined?
– Yes, Brusilov's crater.
Irina, unlike Neil, already had experience of towage and delivery of modules with the equipment for space geologists. Last year she has investigated seven asteroids. All of them now became a part of Earth network system of computer merging. When Neil comes to Earth Belt Formation Centre, Irina has been appointed his personal curator. Five years of training and training under her supervision, and now Neil has received the first individual task. He slowly moved the management joystick. To the set point remained still meters ten. And it is at least an hour. The situation was complicated by the fact that the asteroid did a whole revolution around its pivot center in twenty-two minutes. Eleven minutes the party with a probe was in "a dead zone". The signal from the satellite located nearby during this period of time was so weak that Neil preferred to leave the probe motionless. He didn't want a crash cause chosen the mine space where around wasn't a soul. Most of the neighbors remained at other edges of a ring or have been closed by a background of the next stones. It is impossible to say that a Belt is thrown but also there the civilization settled down, as well as on Earth's surface. It was possible to go to unexplored places hoping to find something valuable. But it was necessary to be reconciled with the fact that the nearest shop in an orbit was difficult to reach, as well as any alien. But only there was possible to feel himself the real head of the geological investigation.
– There was new, press on a mouse!
– Has taken.
– Two more.
– I'll take.
– Still is.
– I beat.
– Again, now three.
– By clicking on each
– One more! No, two.
– Ours only the second.
– Imagine if the mouse has now fallen off or the block has burned down, we would remain, as in the museum. There are a lot of materials, and it is only possible to store them.
These cameras video appeared on the screen of the computer. Each shot has been filled with marks about what was told about the roughness of soil wave return. Sonic depth finders of the space radar combed a surface in the millimetric range. People check each computer solution on the future place fastening reliability. Their work from outside could seem a network game, with such passion they processed the protocols ornamented by a machine raising of the curve and molecular ranges.
– Let's be fixed, we will unpack the equipment; it will be possible to make the clan.
– There will be many interested people. We have got far, at this point it is possible to build mines around, to place analyzers – Irinaobviously didn't finish speaking something. Possibly, she has already made someone the proposal, but waited for a firm consent before to tell about it at the office.
– For such complex works, I wouldn't take strangers. Though of course, if take their powerful computers and do additional researchers, it will be possible and to look for somebody, – Neil has thought of magnificent and luxury country houses which sometimes have ordinary participants of clan work. According to society columns, new clan friends have been often and willingly invited. Dinners were magnificent; parties are full of the celebutantes who are eager have a shower with the geniuses' gold as the manifestation of the peculiar kindness to each star. Ah, what are women…
– Let's take some interesting people. I heard that one capital group has a conceptual artist. He sometimes does actions with an art interpretation of our work. On one of them, there was a huge cardboard labyrinth. On the way inside the wall was decorated with photos from a Belt, but it is difficult to look at them because of darkness. In the center of a curtain from the reaped paper, the sculptural plaster heads, artificial fruit and a projector which shows explanations of
