we will also catch it. A lot of things depend on success of this first flight.
Intensity of a gold stream can increase considerably if Blotton
will appear after flight live and safe before kings of the exchange.
– And you, Vinkler, trust in a possibility of rescue of capitalist
tops in such unusual way?
– Let will do some flying.
– And., you promote it?
– Not only that itself I promote, but also attracted you to “partnership
in a crime against revolution”. Yes, yes. You will not only work
on building, but also you will depart together with me and lords whom you are so
fairly you hate, – certainly if only flight takes place.
Hans, do not get excited. Listen to me quietly. I well know that you want
to tell. We could upset all this music, certainly, very easily.
We could cause a revolt, could blow up the rocket before most
take-off. But what would be benefited by us from it? The idea we would not kill. Flight all
could take place, but already in other place, without us. And it would be
much worse. A starprobe vehicle – a dangerous toy. It can be used not
only for shameful flight, but also for approach. Eventually we
we are not down on to all plans of leaders of this business. And that they
mean to use a starprobe vehicle and for a throwing of bombs in critical
the moment of the last decisive battles, it is not subject to doubt. It already
becomes in colonies – during war and at suppression of revolts. No,
much more safely is also more practical if we with you on the rocket are. In
the necessary moment we will always manage to appropriate whom follows.
– If everything is and can be coming us more interesting and
considerable work, than service of the capitalists trying to get away,
that…
– Isn’t that so, fascinating task? – Vinkler killed it. – But
you should work, work hard terribly. All these
starprobe vehicles., let they build them… After the world revolution all
will get to us, isn’t that so? So why to us to exterminate rockets now?
No, we will build them, to build for ourselves. Superfast means of communication
will gain the huge and daily value. Will be necessary to us
stratoplana first of all, and over time and starprobe vehicles. There now and
it is ready. To pork I will make still fried eggs. You eat, be sated, gain strength.
Hans with appetite of the young, healthy and got hungry man
began to absorb both pork, and fried eggs, and beans in a tomato. Vinkler, tenderly
smiling, watched it.
– Whether Zander knows about the true purposes to which he serves now? – asked
Finger, having satisfied the first hunger.
– How to tell! Time “Noah’s Ark” does not pursue the military aims, for
the naive pacifist engineer Zander of it is enough. And in everything
the rest he is interested in affairs of shareholders a little. Society gave it
an opportunity and huge appliances to develop work in such
scales of which he could not dream. It for it the main thing. And
he can really make a lot of things. Zander – talented
theorist, magnificent designer and extremely modest person.”I
only pupil of the great teacher Tsiolkovsky. It lit a flame, I
only I support him until the dream of mankind is fulfilled” – so
he speaks about himself. I would tell that Zander though he now and “out of
politicians”, perhaps, belongs to that best part technical
the intellectuals which can work well together not bad with us as it worked well together
once it in the east. Here therefore we with you also helped Zander
to run. Well, it is full? We go, I will show you an amusement park.
– Here did not think in any way what in Stormer-city exists even
amusement park! Perhaps, there is also a cinema, cabaret, taverns and these… “red
lamps”?
– How the businessman will do without these institutions? Device
pumpings out of a salary from pockets of workers works here excellently. But
only amusement park here special… And, unlike other entertainments,
even free. It has great success in the local population. And,
it is necessary to tell, deserves that. It is very amusing and very instructive. Not
I will mystify you more. Amusement park not entertaining
attractions, and real city laboratory. In this laboratory
those conditions in which there will be participants are artificially created
flight on rockets – from start to the finish. Here influence of these is studied
conditions: accelerations and delays of flight, increase in gravity,
zero gravity and so on. Unfortunately, I am too busy that
to accompany you. But you also will understand everything. Here to you “entrance
the ticket” in an amusement park. According to this admission all will show you and all will explain.

ABOUT HEAVENLY SCIENTISTS WHO SERVE TERRESTRIAL CASES, AND OF THAT LI NA NEEDS TO VENUS UMBRELLAS AND GALOSHES
Members of Spaseniye joint-stock company, future participants of flight on
to the first rocket, gathered in a country mansion of lady Hinton that
to discuss important questions of the forthcoming travel.
At a preliminary meeting scientists did not come to the full agreement.
The general meeting was organized in the hall of ancestors. If severely looking
from dark canvases proud knights could listen, they, likely, jumped out
from the gilded frames also escaped, – about such wild, improbable for
them things it was told here.
Guests sat at the long oval table laid by a white cloth
Elizabeth’s times. An ancient tea service with gold stains on blue
background, color candles in bronze high candlesticks, roses in vases,
gilded biscuit barrels decorated a table. As statues, stood at an entrance severe
footmen in gray liveries.
– It is given the floor to professor sir Abraham Kinbruk! – loudly
Stormer who undertook duties of the chairman unusual announced
meetings.
