Classics of a fantasy. A. Belyaev
blood pressure. I think if to make over it
observations in an office of its bank, throughout day during exchange
fevers such fluctuations in work of his heart could be noted
repeatedly.
Collins thought, without listening to the doctor, and then interrupted him:
– And you know, we should refuse these experiments with ours
shareholders and future participants of flight. Here such individual not
only itself will run away, but also another will stir up. There is enough. For Zander at us
already there is a sufficient material. You the doctor, and you will be able to define,
having examined the person whether he is fit for a travel.
– I am afraid that to us such ruins which are more suitable for will come in large numbers
crematorium, than for flights on rockets.
– Do not tell trifles! – strictly Collins noticed. – Absolute
safety of rocket flights for us not only advertizing, but also the purpose.
Zander’s care – to make the rocket convenient and safe as a cradle
child. And he will make it, otherwise it would not cost that money which we
we spend for all these experiences.
Having abruptly turned, Collins floated in the long-skirted fur-coat to
to office.
This day Hans perekatatsya on all roundabouts, tried on himself
“attractions” of an extraordinary amusement park. He studied effects of dizziness
on a st-sirsqui roundabout, feeling feelings of take-off, descent, a list,
turn. He decided to break the endurance record at increase in weight and
forced to rotate itself at reckless speed. Many tried to compete
with it, but he won against all the tsvetnokozhy and white rivals. However,
it great was unsteady, descending from a roundabout.
Especially the room in the form of the rotating cylinder surprised him. It
span round its pivot-center and circled. Here it was studied so
the called “Coriolis acceleration”. When it approached room walls,
where the centrifugal effect was stronger, all his body as if was poured
lead. And was to turn the head enough as it seemed that all room
fell down or up as if cabin walls during strong rolling. It
there was very unpleasant feeling. It depended on how explained to it
subsequently the doctor that the center which is located in a head brain of the person
at long rotation of the room gives feeling of balance. Person as if
forgets about rotation, and at turns of the head of it it turns out
impression of new rotation.
At walls centrifugal force directed sideways was five times more
gravity, and Hans involuntarily “climbed on a wall”. He felt attacks
seasickness. With great difficulty he managed to put the head directly and
to pass from a wall to the center of the room where all unpleasant feelings immediately
left it.
In this room it made vsevozmozhneyshy experiences: tried to write on
the little table standing in the middle of a floor to sit down, to rise. The body did not obey
it. It as if had others body, not повинующееся to it, or other
the world, with other laws of the movement and balance. But for it it was not
sport, as for Blotton. No, he persistently trained himself. He knew that
in the rocket, at the real flight, to it together with Vinkler and Zander
it is necessary to work, work in these extraordinary conditions whereas
all passengers will be on the back, not capable to anything, except
complaint and moaning. He thought not only of “Noah’s Ark”, but also about
future flights on “the” rockets. And he stoically transferred everything
trials on which put itself.
Subsequently in this room he had to spend not one day.
It did various observations over a deviation of a current of liquids,
air stream, movement of insects, small animals Not smaller interest
caused in it and the rotating glass sphere. It was similarity
“the interplanetary dwelling”, arranged especially for behavior researches
the person and animals under the influence of centrifugal force. The sun shining with
clear sky, filled a sphere with the warmth giving life to plants
put on “equator” of a sphere of the room. Rotation of the room created on
sphere walls the centrifugal force exceeding Earth attraction, and plants
grew here not up, as usual, and sideways, from walls to the center of a sphere. It
watched their growth, development.
Here rabbits, hens, cats were located in cages. All of them,
apparently, did not notice singularity of the side situation. Walls
sphere for them were “bottom”, the earth. Rabbits jumped on cages, peacefully ate
cabbage leaves, carrots, hens rushed, brought chickens. The water standing
“steep wall” in relation to the earth, did not spill from cups, grain
did not wake up. When Hans stood in the center of a sphere, all animals and
plants were in relation to it in vertical position as if
he looked at inhabitants of this small world from above, lying on steep
to the rock. But as it approached “equator”, his body also
adopted gradually steep provision. And, standing near cages, he saw
the table standing on a floor in the middle of a sphere as if this table was
it is strengthened on a wall of the ordinary room.
As all situation of a sphere rotated together with it, it not
tested dizzinesses and even ceased замечав rotation of the room.
Only extraordinary position of a body when it moved on sphere walls,
reminded him of it.
In a sphere there was only the tenth part of normal amount of oxygen, but
Hans did not feel a lack of air. Oxygen was emitted with plants
the greenhouse occupying sixteen square meters.
Plants absorbed the carbonic acid emitted to them and animals.
Here the foundation of “circulation of substances” which had to were laid
to give to future heavenly travelers all necessary for life if their flight
will drag on or on other planets there will be a lack of the atmosphere and food.
