The order of X 107 which you have sent last week has come not with that book which I chose. I chose a book "100 ways to become rich" by M. Lankin. But I’ve got another e-book, "Destruction weapon" by V. Bio. It is in bad condition, its pages are mixed. I send it back. Send me my book. P. Adams.


Hello. You ordered the book for $ 6,89, but didn’t pay for it. If you don't pay your own order within a month, we will be able to increase the cost of the book as a penalty for a back payment. We ask you to pay the order immediately.


Don't forget to apply a code to the scanner at the payment and transfer of materials. Be more careful with a card, don't bend it, don't bring to the hot objects and to the powerful electromagnetic devices.


I won't pay for what I didn't receive! I ordered goods which according to the catalog of your electronic shop appear at number X 107. It is in the same place and at the same number now too. You have sent me "Destruction weapon" by Biot instead of the book I asked. I have sent it to you back. Send me my book! You promised good service.


Hello. You ordered the book, but didn’t pay your own order within two months. You have received the prevention in time. Now we are forced to increase the cost of the book as a penalty for a back payment. Now the total cost together with the percents of a penalty will be $ 9. We ask you to pay the order immediately.


I didn't receive the book I ordered. I have sent back your "Weapon of destruction" by Bio. P. Adams.


Hello. You ordered the book, but didn’t pay your own order, despite of preventions. You have received them in time. Now we are forced to increase the cost of the book as a penalty for a back payment and to file a lawsuit against you if you won’t pay. Now the total cost together with the percents of a penalty will be $ 11. We ask you to pay the order immediately or we will address you with the legal claim.


The Court of Atlanta


According to the court verdict for payment "Destruction Weapon of X 107" P. Adams is sentenced to death under the article “The creation and financing of the biological weapon”. The sentence comes into force in a month after the judgment. Month is given on the appeal of the decision.


Help me, please! I bought the book "100 ways to become rich" by M. Lankin at the Internet exchange, but instead of it I got "Destruction weapon" by V. Bio. I have sent it back. I was demanded money and had been filed a lawsuit. I don't understand how it has turned out that I was sentenced to death for the creation of destruction weapon. It is a mistake. Probably, it has so turned out because I had no money for the good lawyer and to give them there to somebody for the decision. I was opposed by too rich shop and its revenge was too cruel. Help, please, you still have communications in court. Talk, please to the Governor of the state. I ask you, I am threatened by the death penalty because of a miscarriage of justice! Your P. Adams.


The Governor's pardon


According to the court verdict for the payment of "Destruction Weapon of X 107" P. Adams has been sentenced to death under the article “The creation and financing of the biological weapon”. The death sentence is cancelled by the decision of the Governor of the state. The decision has to come to system of court even before its implementation. Track it, please.


The Military court


… More and more people began to be interested in the biological weapon of destruction of X 107. They say that the attempts to buy its analogs in the private market have been noticed through the systems of electronic investigation. The commander has given the order on additional checks of hackers …


The Pardon under the Governor’s decree can't be carried out.


According to the court verdict for the payment of "Destruction Weapon of X 107" P. Adams has been sentenced to death under the article “The creation and financing of the biological weapon”. The Governor’s decision of his pardon can come to a system of court, only if you have correctly applied a stroke code and a card to the scanner. Unfortunately, you haven't made it. The criminal liability is provided for misuse of a card and use of the plastic card instead of other person. You have two days more for correction if you have made wrong actions because of the circumstances which don’t depend on you.


The Endurance from the materials of public prosecutor's check


… The governor is suspected in corruption. According to the court verdict for the payment "Destruction Weapon of X 107" P. Adams has been sentenced to death under the article “The creation and financing of the biological weapon”. The Governor’s counterfeit decision of his pardon has come to a system of legal proceedings after hearing of the case. The electronic certificate and the digital signature were attached to the material. There the card of the governor and his code were badly read by the scanner. It can be said either a fake or the negligent performance of the Governor’s duties. Both cases demand the additional investigation …


The Military court


The interest to the biological weapon of destruction of X 107 only increases though we take all measures for its protection. The attempts of transfer of technologies have been noticed at the private market. The commander has given the order on the additional checks of hackers.


To the head of department


For the tenth time we have problems with the block of data collection on the "Weapon of destruction of X 107". There we collect all digital materials about the one who mentioned this phrase, and we transfer data to CIA. There is a lot of materials, we don't manage to check everything. The machine works in the mode of the increased speed. We ask to send two blocks more for increasing of power.


To the unit manager


All four new blocks on the weapon of destruction of X 107 which have been sent us, are not new. Or they are not empty. There are some data which nobody can understand in our department. In these blocks we collect all digital materials about the one who mentioned this phrase, and we transfer data to CIA. We have no experts who understand what additional files and programs are intended for. We ask to send four experts more for an explanation of their systems of work.


To the head of department


It’s big routine according to the weapon of destruction of X 107 among the programmers. Why many of those who are sent to us have arrived to our country not so long ago? They constantly leave. Is it possible to ask to give us someone more reliable? They demand from us to write protocols briefly. And it is impossible to explain what he has told, briefly.


The Excerpts from the article of the solid edition of New York


… is interested in personal data more and more. Why has the Governor of Atlanta, using the corruption communications, avoided the death penalty for the transfer of our confidential technologies? Why is he still free? And why are our files always opened and signed up in archives of intelligence agencies?


From the management of division


After the highly paid programmers have been sent to us, the head of the department has to reconsider appointments. Now people are to be less. You need to take care of absent of the excess state. The term for the performance is two months.


The Excerpts from the article of the solid edition of New York


… The former Governor of Atlanta, suspected in the distribution of the biological weapon and distribution of the state secrets won't become the reason of the destruction of our country any more. Yesterday he has been killed with two shots. The police suspect of attempt those who transferred his data to Russia…


To the head of department


According to the weapon of destruction of X 107: when it is said about the Governor of Atlanta and Adams on television and online medias, what folder do we collect materials? We can't put them in the general, even to keep doubles in two places. It is necessary to have the code of access to change the program.


To the head of department


We have already known all the list of X 107. Is it possible to ask to order some more blocks for data storage, so that materials of listening aren't located?


The order on department


According to the weapon of destruction of X 107: the code is given only for creating new folders in system. It works also at a disk 1279, but there our service is forbidden to use materials. The order on it was distributed three months ago and it was in base. If you notice already created folders with a mark 479-0-28969-003, don't touch them. They are made by the customer. We are forbidden to learn why. The new system of check of readiness is entered. For breaks more than one and a half hours in the working day there will be penalties. The dismissal is followed after three penalties. It is the order from above, we will be checked. Be more attentive, the checks will be all the time.


The Military court, excerpts from the minutes


In spite of the fact that we have charged to the private companies of system of tracking the most ordinary talk, and we undertake criminals, there are leaks. These marks 479-0-28969-003 have shown that the companies not only invest money in protection of people and work honestly. They used their own bar code and materials of scanning for opening of the classified information. Moreover, the weapon of X 107 extends with their help. Its formula which we verified with the obtained data on infections is too similar to that which has been invented in our laboratories. The bar code of access coincides. There can't be mistake. Businessmen can be considered as traitors. I order to punish them to the fullest extent of the law. We shouldn't forgive attempts of the world destruction.


To the head of department


We lack of blocks for the record. We ask to send more system units 4683 not less than ten pieces in a complete set and to appoint five heads of divisions more. We don't cope with the answers to questions. It is not clear to what sections we should send data on X 107 and automatic tracking cameras in air. These are those which are on the execution autopilots.


The quotes from the press of Washington


… One of the especially dangerous criminals suspected of data leakages on capture which has created the biological weapon has disappeared, having carried away with himself a part of secrets on his industrial development. The forces of the biological military protection have provided everything, besides this. According to unchecked data he managed to find a shelter in Africa or in Latin America. The military check all versions. In case of the detection of the disease symptoms the request is to pass to the special posts of the biological protection. You will find addresses, having attached your plastic card to any scanner. The navigation data on transportation to the right place will be obtained on your mobile device at once. It is forbidden to use public transport for infected persons. Remember that your own identification plastic card needs to be kept in an order before getting to the points for patients …


… all those troubles which have fallen upon the heads of citizens of our country are because of inventors of the biological weapon. The governor who has given help in its distribution has been shot. And if it is made in CIA, then it is possible to call them heroes of the country who are capable to revenge everyone, even to the most high-ranking official …


The order on department


All who are engaged in data on X 107 from next week will undergo special testing. The breaks in work have to be in total no more than one hour fifteen minutes. They have to be no more than four. For the violation, as well as for the wrong filling of protocols, there is a deprivation of an award. Having made three mistakes the violator leaves. Be more attentive, the checks are started since tomorrow.


The quotes from the press of Germany


… if one may say so, allies? Why do they exist only to kill us? Now more and more ideologists of the world think that because of crisis not the cleverest can bring children. Those whom it is possible to call a gene pool just have no money and forces to survive. And against the background of this tragedy more and more rich people come with offers: it is time to do self-starters which will serve for the cleverest. Others will be able to separate at a grade level and to make separate group, without allowing them to rise and breed. Now to give lives for clever and selection of others the international corporations want …


… if in the USA it is considered that it is time to open hunting for people who became too many. The emergence of the outbreaks of infection with a virus X 107 can be considered as this war against all mankind …


… There is no way to prevent distribution of X 107 though the intelligence agencies of the USA and boast that its chief developers including the businessman who has hidden in Africa from fair trial are executed. But the virus is created on the computer with the use of technologies which the modern equipment isn't capable to block. How do we hope to survive with such allies? Germany has to terminate the world with the USA and to announce a crusade against genocide …


… Crowds of protesters have captivated the square in front of the building of the European Alliance. They demand a rupture of the relations with the USA and economic sanctions. There are photos of the dead from the biological weapon of a class X 107 on the protesters’ posters. Many performances of spontaneous speakers are about how long we were hostages of a situation. Germany won't really be able to fight back the attempts to destroy itself? We are ready to unite with everyone who else wants treatment and normal medicine …


… a talk that X 107 is created according to the German systems of the analysis only adds forces to our opponents. The system of the chemical analysis intended only for treatment of brain diseases. Why is the one who has invented the axe for the cabin of the wood has to be responsible also for the actions of all who used the same axe for murder? Our allies are still strong not only militarily, but also as the decent people who are capable to fight back any enemies of the country. But meetings show that society demands to break off the relations with the USA and not to consider as their friends and allies any more…


Space is the priority


The head of the Security Council of the Russian Federation entered the conference hall at a fast pace. Allthe people, invited to the close meeting raised from a table, straightening up in a military way as theyunderstood the importance of the meeting or felt themselves thirty years younger because of the questionthey would solve that day. The head of the Council glanced quickly at the audience and said:


– Please, sit down.


At the meeting there were a Commander-in-chief of the army of the Russian Federation, the director of FSB, the head of GRU, the Minister of Defence, the adviser of the economic development from the militarydepartment, the Interior Minister, the representatives of Roskosmos and relevant others.


The head of the Safety Council didn't hurry to begin. He maintained a pause, reading thoughtfully thepapers lying in front of him. At last, he raised the head. The speaker, one of the employees of theanalytical department, stood up when he saw his nod. He wasn’t the person usually invited to theimportant meetings, but there was no sign of the fear or shyness of the command. The young man wascourageous and confident. Everybody knew that the Head of the Council liked to test the lowest ranks. He tested the ability to hold mental blow from the management, especially from the meeting with the chief. He said many times that the check of the fighting capacity of the army will make its soldiers the bravestones and capable to protect the civilians from the enemy, but not that sort of the people who would betrayall army because of the administration fear. If we judge the reaction of the boss who has created thestrategy of defense of the world and influence on the hostile countries, this subordinate has sustained thecheck. The young analyst began his performance.


– Dear members of the commission! Three months ago we came to unfavourable conclusions about a condition of our national security. Practically all our potential opponents have a biological weapon of theX107 type and we can’t resist it. Yes, in case of its application against the citizens of our country we will be able precisely know who has made it. What is more, we can represent all the necessary evidences to theworld community. But the creation of the devices that help to develop a formula X107 needs as muchmoney as we have for all the additional expenditure in 100 years. That equipment of poisoning thatautomatically appears after the removal of the necessary formulas by these expensive devices, on thecontrary, cost so little that millions of people can afford it. The creation of the virus costs billions, thestrain can be multiplied using ten dollars, antidote to all the mutations of ready X107 can be created onlywith trillions in the pocket. Moreover, only experts who haven’t got such amount of money, can startworking on this project but those who have this money will never hire them. It is the principle of thedevelopment of the terrorism. We have no way to resist the rich countries there the similar devices arebeing invented more and more. We can't stop the new working-out even using the pressure on theinternational level. The worst fact is that often new arms are issued without antidote. Its mutations arise so quickly that we won’t have enough means to create the treatment. Besides, we shouldn’t remember thatthe equipment for the researches is more expensive than for the creation of the poison, and the result of the huge investments isn't guaranteed. Economic crash of our country which we observe everywhere is a consequence of the war with it during almost the century. We lose it every year. But it has turned out thatthe fight for the survival of the all mankind is lost too. Only the nuclear attack can become the equivalentanswer to the damage caused to our country from actions of the opponent. However, we must understandthat as soon as our rockets fly up, the peace in the world will end. Therefore each of us was given a taskfrom the Security council to prepare the ideas of the prevention the potential biological attacks to ourcountry


All the members at the meeting frostily nodded. The speaker finished and returned to his place to drinkwater. The head of the Safety Council interrupted a pause.


– Ivan Dmitriyevich, we will begin with you!


Ivan Dmitriyevich, the head of GRU, stood up from his seat and went to the the performance place. He looked like the ordinary citizen of the country, but not as the big chief and the terrible person. Not high-ranking, but imperious. Nevertheless, even for the laymen in this hall his words were clear. The speechappeared in the heads in a special way when it was said by the ordinary-looking, but pleasant person. Thistime he was surrounded by the generals, but not the ordinary people. It was difficult to say, whether theywere captivated by his charm. He stood up but preferred to read the text according to the paper.


– Good afternoon, dear colleagues! We have analysed a large number of data, and have come to thefollowing conclusions of rather possible reasons of the usage of the biological weapon by our potentialopponents against Russia. Most of them have roots in the attacks to the market. Our hard line on thisquestion is widely known. The world community is actively persuaded that Russia is the enemy of all theplanet what is why our state must be destroyed. We remain guarantors of the world and safety, onlyshowing own good intentions and a clever position for the defense the peace from the madmen. Russiarepresents for the countries of NATO, China and some other states especially economic interest because in fight for the wealth and the power people lose the feeling of the collectivism. They forget that the mostpart of their own life should be devoted to the creation of the general benefit. Otherwise at first, thesingle maniacs will kill great and clever headmasters. If this tendency continues, there will be no talentedpeople on the key posts. They will be occupied by those who came to this place through the betrayal, murder, meanness, thefts, destruction of the perspectives.


– On Earth more and more problems appear. They are mostly connected with the wars and the epidemics. The mankind choked in a stream of problems with the fact that it was necessary to stabilize an economicsituation of the countries. At that time,the wars and the conflicts with different countries forced people to think of welfare, but already in despair as it became the unattainable purpose. Creation of newtechnologies moved the manufactures of a large number of people on other parts of the planet. Often it was connected with the escape from the ruining authorities, with avoidance of taxes. The richest were ableto afford this decision. Americans that couldn't constrain their own economy closely dealt with this problemin order the internal product provided all the population of the country. The formation of the importproduction has taught many people to do everything without help of those who gave them the ideas andadjusted profitable stable existence. But owners gradually lost it, their former workers became theircompetitors. Furthermore, americans advanced this project, in the USA because they needed a largenumber of production and resources, but, when they received them, they couldn't keep monopoly and in impotent rage decided "to die with a fight", destroying the former subordinates. At the same time, I don’t hide, I tell about the bandits, who accumulated the money, were thinking about the new ways of extermination the people in order to save and increase their wealth. Everyone knows that the decision to clear Russia from the people living in it will be made some day! Creation and active X107 spread is the realproof of it!


Generals understood him. Even this meeting, as well as similar ones, haven't been carried out in the centerof Moscow, in the Kremlin or in the main buildings of the military departments for a long time. Places evenfor the negotiations of such important and protected persons as they are, have been removed to theoutskirts of the city and military bases. The architecture and the whole life has changed because of thequarantine. More and more people preferred network communication and distance communication in ordernot to catch the illness. High military ranks who managed the work connected with the capture of biologicalterrorists were the first target for the attacks of a virus just because their subordinates often worked in theinfected places. Several generals which were their acquaintances have already become the victim of a disease. There was an antidote, but the virus created by the best programmers mutated as fast as it founded a weak point of any creature. The head of the secret service continued the report.


– Biological weapon was prohibited long ago. Why? Its creation can destroy everything. Plague in the MiddleAges killed about 80% of the population. Modern poisons can do more, kill all people and the nature. To wipe out all the life on Earth. Imagine that there are two leaders with different characters, one of them is kind and another is angry. Both are waging a war. The enemy has issued the same ultimatum for the both: if you don't give up, I will use the chemical or the biological weapon against your soldiers. In this case, thebad leader doesn’t care, he doesn't feel sorry for the people. The good leader feels sorry for them and cangive up in order that to save their lives. Therefore the kind one was deprived his power, when the otheruseless leader remains in the power merely because of the ability to frighten him the same way even afterhis blow. It’s the way how the biological weapon brings the power to the worst guys and makes the worldworse just because of its existence. Earlier we had forces to call all our supporters to the action against it. Now we have lost the most part of it. We have no forces and funds for supporting the helping industry forthe different countries. Without it they aren't ready to care about their own everyday wellbeing, and alsoabout the survival of the world and the mankind. We have lost not only the position of a superstate. We have lost the supporters in many countries, there aren’t kind and politically active people between theauthorities to fully guarantee the world survival. We can't completely restrain ubiquitous usage of thechemical, bacteriological and biological weapon any more. The system of good protection against it hasfallen with the USSR.


The head of the military intelligence service of the country was known for his heroic deeds. Once he managed to get in contact with the economists of NATO. Thanks to a brilliant military operation his groupmanaged to prevent infection because of the leakage of the laboratory computer bacterium. After thatestablishing the international control of dangerous armaments has become a part of his career and thecareer of people in the meeting. Several times they even managed to influence the appointments in theheart of NATO. Then the thrown in time compromising evidence defended the world from the fools or themaniacs who didn’t know chalk from cheese and willingly financed the dangerous experiences. Enemieswho weren’t accessed to the power could take all the necessary for their personal needs even the sums forthe maintenance of the nuclear bases. The audience were waiting that Volin Ivan Dmitriyevich would tellsomething interesting from his own observations. His mental acuity often helped him to notice the specialthings where for the prevention of terrible events it wasn't necessary to mobilizate, to send armies to thecertain death. He came for their expectations.


– Pay attention to how writing the correct name of the government structures is changing in the languagewhen they stop doing their duties correctly and modestly. Bribes and the lack of quality begins where thesmallest municipal structures serving the house are already called from the capital letter and this namedon't reflect their modest work in accordance with the table of ranks. You can see the same picture in anycountry even at the everyday level, in services sector. When it is called "the exploitation enterprise", theantenna is repaired, additional cash for the work won’t be taken. When the same enterprise becomes"Housing Committee" – you make just the short glance and already see the abuse of the position. You willsee the same tendency in Russia or in any other country. German forces each word to be written fromcapital letter – Germany began most of the wars in the world and became famous for its bloodthirstiness in Europe and in the whole world. Throughout all the history of Germany there were just a few goodspeakers, novelists, writers of an easy genre. But we all know beautiful works of french and british authors, and their nouns are written from a small letter. Even the changes of language is a signal for the army thatthe society which uses it for the description of its own understanding of the world, priorities, the place in society is changing too. Even this sign warns that it is time to act. If people stop being modest, don't wantto do their duties, feeling responsibility for the others, soldiers have to be more thoughtful. Besides theyhave to get through the pressure of the aggressive-minded people, to reflect their attacks, to guide themtowards the behavior "in a form". Correct behavior. It is already war for professionals, but we have to win it. Don't forget that it’s a great deed to remove the army from the fighting even if it is necessary to deceivethe commanders-in-chief and make them believe that the ally has begun the fight, and leaving the front is necessary only for the protection of the country. Now we set for the soldiers a task that even more large-scale. We must eliminate from the front those army that will invent and use biological weapon, will killpeople for the sake of money and glory. We have to destroy army which has no commander able to give theorder to act or to stop doing something. It makes the fight even more difficult. But we have good chancesof a victory. The plan for the priority changes in minds of people has to work.


Ivan Dmitriyevich finished the report and looked at the leader of the Safety Council.


-I see. It would be good to remove army from the warfare, wouldn’t it? But how? Where are your offers? What should we do? Do we have an opportunity to answer? In the manner that no one will even have an idea to hinder and at the same time not to make the nuclear winter possible on the planet.


– Yes, sir! – Volin answered. – The colleagues and i were discussing the ideas of the prevention of thebiological attacks to our country during three months. There were a lot of ideas, all of them we coulddivide into three main groups: the establishment of the Iron Curtain, at least partial for the protection of the business elite of the country; the improvement of the weaponry, including chemical and biological; open threats to the potential opponents about the nuclear attack to them in case of application X107. However, these options don’t suit us because of the economic problems, it’s impossible to overtake ourlgaps in the development of the new types of the biological weapon in 5-7 years. Yes, even this option isn’t the exit. We also shouldn’t forget that X107 has appeared in the background of the rising discussion theproblems of the excess people. Oligarchs want to transfer the industry to the automatic equipment and to get rid of a large part of the population, inventing poisons or mass killing technologies with the help of theelectronics.


They don't need people, they are crazy about their work therefore the richest, hardworking, one day stopunderstanding that they give the chance to live, inventing the curing drugs, building the places interestingfor the visitors. They will grow up posterity which through many generations will beat off aliens and willrevive us, people, for decent life of the inhabitant of their times. We analysed our advantages and havecome to a conclusion that there is the only sphere where we hold an stong priority so far is the friendlyrelations! People go crazy in fight for money, but a fight begins due to the lack of places where the personcan plan the life and consider own realities rather good.


– Hmm… And what does it give us? The fact that our rockets put the European and American satellites to theorbit, and we monitor the violation of the international rights and make scandals which don't want to support even the import TV channels living at the expense of our treasury? In the near future China willcome to our level, will want the independence, understanding it as the absence of the unions with anyone. Need for our services has already disappeared almost everythere, but we have no forces in order to remainon the first positions on money and influence thanks to thanks to the intrigues or cunning, – the head of theCouncil of safety shaked the head puzzly. Volin was too Russian to allow him to say the following phraseabout the loss in Cold War and inability to resist.


– Mister head of the Council! Let me ask Pankratov to speak. – the head of GRU asked.


– Yes, of course! – he wearily spoke, with a force rubbing a face a palm.


Pankratov Victor Pavlovich, the head of Roskosmos, took the place of the speaker Volin.


– Mister President! Two years ago our probes began to use technologies of the data transmission from spacewhich do the great analysis of the minerals of the asteroids. The obtained data were exciting. Amongasteroids consisting of the water ice, different metals, and minerals which can become even a basis forconstruction of the space plants. If we could create in zero gravity the plants processing the asteroids andto organize their delivery at least from the orbit of Saturn, from the Belt of asteroids and from space of solar system – the equipment wouldn’t cost a lot. But if we gave the developments to the private tradersand created a way to advance the prestige of their work as seriously as it had been at the time of communism, we would be able to captivate the world with the idea of space. The equipment which we willuse has to be divided into several classes. The work will be carried out another way. Experts will be engaged in its difficult part, but they will construct the general plan that the biggest and the mostimportant part will have done by the millions of other people. So we will borrow at the prestigious workseveryone and we will be able to distract them from production of the weapon and desire to kill. Collaboration with the technical equipment will teach millions of people to live near each other, withoutbreaking the equipment, to understand and to respect others.


People at the meeting haven't forgotten about that time when army ranks could walk along the streets, without fear that the absence of the psychologist of the most of citizens at work and in the state wouldmake them to behave like hooligans. The fact that they woudn’t be able to visit the Kremlin until the endof the epidemic didn’t forced them to stop dreaming of the peace and the best times. Victor Pavlovichshowed them that in the future there is a hope. His stars in blackness of the space sky have been giving themysterious light which could attract hopelessly ill-mannered people to a pursuit of their secrets. He continued.


– People still can’t make space of Solar system working in favor of them because near-earth space hasn’t been explored so much yet. We can create the plants working automatically on the orbit, themicroelectronics necessary for studying of soil, protection against the dangerous asteroids menacing to Earth will be produced there. If one of them occasionally gets to the nuclear power plant, it will blow up. The powerful blow will cause a weapon detonation. There are so much weapon now that it is possible to destroy the planet three times.


Everybody understood him. Recently there was an extensive discussion of the next conversion. Againnobody agreed to reduce the number of dangerous bases. During negotiations in Paris the protest wasorganized in front of the building. Green showed a coffin there the mother Earth splites by a bomb and a meteorite was lying. The protesters were staying all the day and night near the embassies of the U.S., Sweden and Germany. The protesters were dispersed, the scandal was discussed around the world. Thenthe results of the unsuccessful negotiations became the reason of the protocol meeting, but no one of themilitary men decided to recognize the defeat in public. The press, like the robots for the protection of theperson, reminded to the politicians again and again that several decades ago when there were so manyweapon that it was possible to destroy the Earth ten times, there was the conversion too. There were eventhe radicals, they were persuading to bribe for the necessary world decisions. The defeat has taught thegenerals the necessity of being careful and has obviously reduced the confidence in the embodiment of their own plans. The head of Roskosmos continued his speech.


– We can declare the grandiose building on Mars. Let it be a public justification of our work, its necessity. At first, we can study the asteroids from Earth by means of the spectral analysis and calculations. It is absolutely true that Solar system is full of the asteroids consisted the potential resources for theemployment. It’s thousand or ten thousand times more than we have on Earth. On Earth the work on theecological safety is conducted, but its prestige is too low. Other countries will interfere with it, even fromthe desire to harm the common deal. But the fact is that the work in space will help to keep its prestige. It is more important because it will involve in the system all of those who could be engaged in production ofthe weapon or those who have the empty life of alcoholism and quarrels. When we organize the deliveryand processing of the materials of asteroids, it will be possible to solve different problems: shortage of theresourses for the analysis, and the disinfecting the soil. When we start from the planet Earth, huge amountsof money go on the equipment capable to overcome inclination. But expenses will be significantly lower if we do the technological equipment for the disinfecting the soil of Mars on the plants in Solar system. Someasteroids in Solar system have the size more than hundred meters, it will be enough to become theconstruction material for the future colony on Mars. Now there isn't enough gravitation to create theatmosphere. But the bolids in Solar system that we could collect to gain weight for Mars, people will have a new manned planet. Moreover, they have a noble deal that will help the mankind to become better. Supporting the work, we will be able to distract those who otherwise would begin to do poisons forextermination of the mankind. Yes, we will hardly correct those who are already busy with biologicalterrorism. But we will be able to occupy all the people who haven't followed this dangerous way yet, thosewho have been making the choice.


Victor Pavlovich has noticed an surprised look of the head of the Safety Council. He understood that he wasestimating the expenses, habitually measuring time for the works with the military certain and short terms. But the head of Roskosmos decided not to allowed himself to lose the necessary note now, he left furtherexplanations of the reasons. He continued the report.


– Colonization of Mars is necessary. The mankind must have one more planet for life. Today there is a soilfor air creation, but there isn't enough gravitation to hold it. We will use tested and purified asteroids to gain weight. Also we shoudn’t forget that colonization isn't the rush decision now. We have centuries forthe work, this time will be used to create the environmentally friendly place for living. Nowadays our spaceindustry is able to afford the large-scale employment company. We will provide people with the work. Theone part of the means can be taken from the system of the dole payment. Of course, it will go for thesalary for the laymen occupied on the new manifacture. Its scale and prestige will be intended to make theenemies envy and to capture them with the desire to do the same. We will occupy Medici and Borgia forthe work that will be even more prestigious and necessary. We will spend the public money to make themcompete with us and do the same. We will appreciate and praise their job, we will learn the society how to do the same, increasing their prestige here to create for them a new way of existence, new clear andtempting programs. We will teach them how to appreciate the people and not to do the poison. And, as a result, we will destroy the root of the military conflicts. It is said that in the military science has a systemthat begins a race of the arms and provokes the conflicts. Real reason is that often not all equipmentcontains ideally. On the bases there are not enough materials or they are stolen. To write off the losses it is easier to begin the fighting and to blame the enemy. There is another unpleasant, but habitual scenario of the beginning the conflict. Military need money from the state treasury at least just to support army andthe equipment. But the authorities reluctantly finance even expenditure on the duty for the maintenanceof the dangerous weapon. To find the funds for its work at the same time following the obligatoryinstruction, it is necessary to start other projects and to give a part of the money to the nuclear physicistsor on the control of the chemical and biological weapon. Earning these additional funds in the peacefularea – the competitors appear anyway. As the result they are left without money and with problemsbecause of the market closing. The only way out for the soldiers is to continue making the arms with thebudget money, there they can hold the monopoly. They advertize the new weapon and receive the hugesums from the higher authority’s budget on its creation. It was the way of the economy development thatcreated so much weapon in the world so the planet can not survive now. The new programs will give theeconomic system of the peaceful development. We also have the strategic plans for the military part of thepopulation as they will remain the police officers of all created system working in space mines and theplants. They will have a peaceful business which they will be able to keep under control. We will change a lot of things in the economic system of the war. We will distract those who invent and use terrible weaponto make living. Therefore we will protect ourselves and the whole world from the self-destruction.


All the time the facial expression of the head of the Council of safety was changing. Now there was no signof the initial hopelessness. He was interested and full of hope. When Pankratov had finished, the head of the Safety Council said to him:


– Of course, it’s very good, Victor Pavlovich! The more resources and work, the less reasons for wars. It sounds oddly enough but the asteroids can save Earth from the full elimination. But how will we organizeall this? We huge funds are necessary! It will be possible only if the project is international!


Volin stood up.


– Mister head of the Council! It’s exactly what we want to make. But the direct negotiations with our richrivals won't lead to anything. Therefore we have developed the large-scale project directed to the changeof the priorities of all the mankind. For this purpose we will launch a secret information campaign whichpurpose is to reorient the developed countries of the world from resource wars on Earth to the peacefuldevelopment of the geology in Solar system. We will surely add the explanations about the threat of the hitof the meteorites to the nuclear objects, develop the huge company on accumulation of the prestige of everybody who is engaged in space researches. People will be torn to such a works even only to be considered as elite of the society. The system of the employment will be focused on the upbringing peopleas much as it possible. Besides the space, we have one more advantage – effective intelligence service andcounterintelligence. In Russia there are many agents of NATO and China, absolutely confident that theyaren't revealed by us. Moreover, they have enlisted a number of our high-ranking officials. It was reallydifficult to convince agents of foreign service that their informants are reliable and we aren’t involved in it. We even merge several small secrets to do this. We also use them to send to the leaders of the countries of NATO and China information necessary to us! But the biggest victory will be already created system for theimitation.


– And what information will it be? – asked with the interest the head of the Council.


– And it will be announced by Dmitry Andreevich!


Morozov Dmitry Andreevich, the Minister of Economic Development in Russia, came to a conference halltribune. Pankratov didn't sit down, standing nearby and letting know he wanted to add something to Morozov's report.


– Mister head of the Council! Information which we intend to merge to the West and to China will be thefollowing content. I will briefly read only the theses. The oil reserves in Russia at the current consumption, spread of blue plague, X107 and its export will be enough for 15 years. The drinking water reserves werereduced dramatically because of the awful ecology. Especially, after the failure of the train with 90 cars of chemical C17X04 reagent in Siberia and the penetration of all these reagents to the lake.


The head of the Safety Council has turned pale and cried out:


– What accident? When did it happen? Why didn’t you tell me!?


– Andrey Leonidovich, calm down! – Semenov, the head of the department of the fight against war crimestold him impassively. – Accident hasn’t happened yet. We plan it next week. But it will be small, only as an occasion to start actions.


The head of the Council understood everything, took a deep breath, leant on the back of the chair and saidwith the voice still shivering nervously:


– This way I will leave the Kremlin only legs forward! No, there won’t be any accident. Do what you want, but no diversions against our own country, even in case of the recruitment the foreign armies. We have no war. They don’t attack us, don't occupy the territory. We are not on the losing side. Why are the realdiversions necessary in a normal life?


The soldiers didn't object. And shamed Morozov continued:


– We will use all the possible exits due to the appearing problems. We will find the new ways out. We needto begin looking for the reserves of the necessary metals and minerals outside Earth. To develop the systemof the disinfecting and to make the space cleaning fashionable so it will help on Earth too. Let's create thesecular society, like in Pushkin’s lyceum where we will begin to bring up the noble people. Let's make thelife beautiful for the millions. People would forget that they once wanted robots only for the killing mostof the fellow citizens.


The conversation has right there joined Pankratov:


– We also want to tell the part of the information about the asteroids and our plan in general, that will be interesting for the press. We even have a project of the plant processing the asteroids on the orbit. We want to tell about it too. The purpose is simple: to let the West and China understand what now they can’t caught anything and get the profit in Russia, and at the same time to aim them at the exploration of thespace richness, to show them it’s real. In this case the huge money that are spending for the arms now willbe reoriented on the space programs, and thousands unemployed people will be able to find the job in thesphere of studying, delivery and processing the asteroids.


– The idea is clear and I completely support it! – The head of the Safety Council with a sign invited Morozovand Pankratov to sit down at a table. – And if it’s not a secret, who is an informant telling the information to the agents ?


Volin smiled:


– This is mister Morozov! And mister Orlov – the first deputy of Pankratov!


The head of the Council looked at Morozov and said reproachfully, shaking the head:


– Oh, didn't expect it from you, Dmitry Andreevich, didn't expect!


It was the end of the meeting. The discussion was already about to an end when the head of the Councildecided to say about one more condition.


– I am ready to support the project and I will make an official motion for its development in thegovernment. We have capacities to continue the work. But I promise all this on the one condition. Thegeneral system of the program has to include searching the protection against radiation.


– Do you mean the alternative energy sources? – Volin has asked him.


– It’s not the only way. The program is large-scale. The best physicists and chemists of the world willparticipate in its work. You have to to support their efforts of studying the nuclear reactions and makingtheir forces safe for the person. Let use everything. Study the alternative types of the obtaining energy andmake the cheaper power plants. Create the programs for studying the nuclear synthesis and simulate themon the computer so that in the beginning models, and then our experiences prove the ways of using of thisdangerous energy without harm for the person and the nature. I understand that this task is difficult and I won't demand instant results. I’m against the dangerous technologies to become known to those whomustn’t know about their power. But its studying has to be a part of the new direction.


– We will make it, – Volin answered to all. – I imagine how people in the West will react to this program.


Everybody burst into laughter and in a good mood began to discuss details of the forthcoming informationcampaign.


Space is fronted of the Cold War

The general Parkers was a hereditary military. His great-grandfather was involved in World War II, meetingon Elba forces of allies, and the grandfather was at war in Vietnam. Then he couldn't be met on spontaneousrevolts when most of veterans threw out medals and hated everything that was considered as their feet, publicly proving to be opponents of fighting. Parkers's father has died during the operation "Tigers in theDesert" when the boy hardly was 10 years old.


Only his courage was the cause. The command car was well protected, but he has decided to go out of it personally to dispose about evacuation of children, to check the performance of the order. The bullet hasovertaken him when he was already convinced that everything is executed precisely. Already then his sonwho has remained the orphan didn't doubt that he will carry on the family tradition and will become themilitary. And now he, John Parkers, the general ordering the American contingent of NATO in Europe. He was proud of the position and carried the officer's rank with honor.


From the grandfather and the father, and in general from a habitual working environment which was madegenerally military pathological hatred for Russia and all Russian was transferred to Parkers. He saw in herthreat, the enemy who needs to be crushed to save all free world from imperial ambitions of the Eurasianpower. The policy changed over time, but he considered that in military science it is better to be the mostconservative, otherwise become the hostage of the charm of the enemy behind whom war and deception arenecessary. Determination helped it to remain to the right principles. But recently in Parkers's soul in relationto Russia there was a fight. It has been connected with two events. First, sorting during the last holiday stuffon an attic of the house of the great-grandfather, John has found several old notebooks. On their turnedyellow pages he has found the memoirs of Hugh Parkers ordering separate crew of allied forces in Europe on the western front. He couldn't say that as the orphan needed care of relatives, the army relations havehelped to find to his new fathers and grandfathers, strong and clever, own commanders. But memories of thefamily have woken up in his feelings which have reminded him of their care and that love which only thehealthy child can feel. Adults not so often face the defended peace of the childhood. Even talented militaryin it weren't an exception. In the records Hugh's old times mentioned meetings with the Soviet soldiers morethan once. Rereading lines of the ancestor, John couldn't stop own curiosity. It forced it to understand whythe contemporary of the author of Little Prince saw in people from the country of his constant opponentsalready not only the Wednesday full of threat to peace, and loving people. The war, which has made alldefenders of the world has forced them all to unite for the sake of a vzhivaniye, forgetting for a while aboutthe conflicts between the countries. Foreigners were interesting to Hugh Parkers, he tried to understandtheir intentions and a way of actions. In his memoirs they were similar to Europeans, but preferred to keepmuch more modestly.


He described them very courageous, quiet, cheerful and benevolent people. As if summarizing the generalimpression, Hugh Parkers wrote: "The Russian soldiers are an internal force, and at the same time force – kind! These are simple peasants and workers who have had freedom and an opportunity to become at leastthe small heads loyal to the country. People who want to come back home somewhat quickly, to thefamilies, to the peaceful occupations. Unless we differ from them in this desire? It is necessary to be on friendly terms and cooperate with Russians, though it is necessary to be for this purpose cleverer, then we have got used. And then the West in the union with Russia, as if it wasn't called there, will be able to makecivilized the rest of the world!". Parkers has been shocked. Never he happened to speak with the great-grandfather about war. His grandfather and the son of the author of these lines has died when John was onlytwelve years old, in two years after death of the father. But his opinion concerning Russians has set thegeneral Parkers thinking.


Intelligence data became the second reason of change of the attitude of Parkers towards Russia. It hasturned out that in the conditions of the world fever of arms which has become possible thanks to sellingpoliticians, Russia spends the budget not for developments of new arms and means of protection, and forprograms for the disarmament of marauders. For most of news dealers they were called systems for spaceexploration. The clever general has understood at once that the paramount purpose of Russians in thisprogram is not the development of asteroids, but change of priorities of mankind at all. Has understoodParkers and the fact that the Russians have specially leaked information in NATO, as if in absentia invitingthe potential opponents to cooperation or, at least, rivalry, but out of Earth and finally to the benefit of mankind.


John didn't believe in accidents. And the fact that he with a difference in a month has learned about theRussian two facts which characterized them from especially positive side were from him he is familiar fromabove. He and his assistants have spent a month in hard work, finding out details of the Russian programs forchange of priorities and to the development of space. With surprise, he has found out that initiatives of Russians really cause in the spirit of sports passion is mute. He has noticed the same mood at ownsubordinates who as obliges followed the developments. Only a week he convinced himself that it is necessary to become neutral and to be engaged in something else. But then he has abused himself forcowardice. Why Russians have thought up how to be got involved in a fight with the bandits, wishing to winagainst everyone, including the one who hasn't chosen a way of destruction and marauding yet, and the armyof the USA has to concede to them, like the crew of a special purpose capable to work only in policeoperations under their beginning? The thought of submission by the Russian in strategic plans has made himthe fighter. He has understood that the officer shouldn't be a coward, even in such difficult situation as thisnew approach to the immorality of mankind, escalating in number.


The general has chosen for himself the only way which has become his credo the next years, to be engaged in re-education of people, but make it better, than the opponent. Two high ranking from command havewillingly listened to his arguments in favor of deployment of new programs. It even seemed to him that thegenerals are attracted by new developments which will help to bring up the real patriots of the country andwill give additional allocations. All his analytical departments already collected materials for the argumentof new plans above. At last, the obtained data have allowed Parkers to prepare as it seemed to him, theconvincing report. He has arrived in Sweden only after several hours prior to the meeting. The protocolprovided only one meeting therefore before it it has decided to pass a little on foot. Then it seemed to himthat on the street of the capital, he too draws attention when strides with two security guards on the almostempty street. He has changed the car and has included news. Televised reports on events at the last meeting, then about wars and judicial proceedings. Exchange quotations have again replaced shots from the place of the conflict in one of the African countries. If he also had doubts in the correctness of the chosen way, feelings from a spirit of TV channel have dispelled them completely. "The world has become better and it will be more human", – he has thought.


And now, going beyond a tribune of the conference hall of the General Assembly of NATO, he felt that in hishands now destiny of the whole world. At a special meeting there were heads of all member countries of Northern Alliance. Journalists in the hall weren't, the meeting was closed. Parker went beyond a tribune andhas begun the performance. His first words have been devoted to his fidelity to duty to gather on theweapon. He hasn't forgotten to remind them that all most glorified battles of the world, including one of them, remained fight of good against the evil where the last has been stopped. Seeing approval of listeners, he has approached a main goal.


– The modern world is in danger! And a source of this danger are not only Russia and China, not radical Islamand terrorists, not dictatorships in Southeast Asia and Latin America today. We get used that the enemy – thisthat group of people, which to us was described in school and institute textbooks. We become conservativesbecause of inability to think, because of internal aging. We cease to see new modern danger and because of fear to lose the place or to become objectionable to the higher commander. We forget that the newproblems arising now demand too from military of protection and the ability to prevent a trouble. Again andagain we forget that the best military are not even those which have won against the enemy, and managednot to allow the conflict. Politicians in difficult situations call troops. The army places a curfew on the citywhere disorders, rage, checks documents it is, more, than the police, interrogates suspicious people.


Everything together has a main goal – to bring rebelled to the normal human state.


Now we had a new opponent. These are the mods not habitual to us or not capable to support in the countrynormal life cruel dictators. The new fighting task is much more difficult, then fight with the armies locatedaround ours. Now it is possible to call rebelled usual people of the Western world, received, despite all bansof the Convention of the UN "About arms", access to the most different types of weapon, including – massdefeat. Yes! You shouldn't do the surprised persons! Thanks to corruption manifestations and short-lived firmsthis weapon promptly extends among any crowd, including – among potential criminals and maniacs of allcolors. Ideas that this weapon will shoot against our enemies, aren't implemented in practice. Even at largeinternational commercial corporations investigation and counterintelligence, their agents in all largeinternational terrorist and criminal groups, perfectly works at borders – rigid control! It is impossible to forget that most of their owners, especially in the territories of the countries of the former Warsaw pact, arethe former staff of intelligence agencies, high military who have stopped being only military and havereceived own situation thanks to abuses of office powers. The wealth does them capable of the means to create the equipment for production of weapons of mass destruction, psychothrone, biological. Thegovernment institutions which are engaged in development and the maintenance of the dangerous types of arms have a lot of controlling structures. With their help even the angry chief of laboratory can't destroy allmankind in a rush of anger. With the advent of new recipes of poisons and frequencies killing the personwhich developments have once been allowed in secret laboratories and are generously paid by ourintelligence agencies, the situation has changed. The recipe cost billions, but after his emergence as thepoison made after it to the recipe will cost only one thousand dollars. Many have such means. And they arewhere control of military any countries won't be able to find danger before it has caused the accident.


Parkers for several seconds has stopped and has taken a view of the audience. It was important for it to understand whether listeners are ready to agree with the beginning of expansion of new programs at once. After obtaining the invitation to a meeting he understood that his colleagues from NATO won't be surprised, having learned about the purpose of the program of Russians. Their own investigation has come to the sameconclusions about their purpose almost along with him. If there were delays, then only because his ownheadquarters transferred information to partners not at once, having own purposes of trade data. Faces of listeners expressed interest and tranquility. He even began to speak more firmly to strengthen the effect of the report, and to offer even more arguments.


– We have come to a situation when the monster which is grown up by some of our former colleagues is developed in our party. And now we thanks to their irresponsibility and thirst of a profit have put the wholeworld on a side of accident in comparison with which the Caribbean Crisis of 1962 – childish sports. Foranybody not a secret that squadron weapon became a part of an arsenal not only at military and policedepartments long ago. Leakages of biological strains as it was with X107, can't be stopped if only to look forguilty and not to improve the skills of those who work in the most modest positions, but with officiallyallowed access to formulas and systems of use of dangerous substances. Several private companies in thefield of cybernetic arms are already at war in Afghanistan, Iraq and in the Middle East, carrying out fightingtasks. But, how rules of protection against leaks are followed? The yesterday's school students playingnetwork games and operating virtual tanks, planes, tools "play" the real equipment now, without leaving thehouse, shoot the real shells, kill the real people who quite often don't have to terrorists of any relation. Living people were too wrong in order that we could trust them in everything, hoping for their conscience. She won't replace qualification and system of a reliable stop of any dangerous actions still before theybecame fatal. There are cases when accounts of such users are hacked it is unknown whom, and then terriblethings begin! Automatic systems of defeat rush into peace kishlaks, press people, guns open fire on peacefulhouses, in our equipment! Who these people – we don't know. Our project on remote conducting wars is wrapped in the fact that cybernetic weapon the maniacs yielding to brute force teenagers and adults andother garbage of our society seize. Unfortunately, not to stop this wave anymore. We have gone too far. Andwe need to take radical measures.


In the hall some revival has begun. The general Parkers has understood that it is time to explain to thecolleagues and officers that they can become force capabilities to find even such dangerous war criminal. He has continued.


– A month ago our investigation managed to get valuable data from Russia. Russians in the classifieddocuments established the fact that reserves of their oil and gas aren't enough, the population growth afterbecause of oil infection with blue plague and other GMOs there comes a cruel crisis and a power collapse. With drinking water the situation isn't better. Stocks the pure, not infected radiation and other chemicals, waters, are promptly reduced. To be at war for resources, according to the Russians, silly. Therefore, all of them plan to throw funds for development of space, to be exact – the Moon, satellites of Mars, Jupiter andSaturn, and asteroids. There are many radioactive materials which will be raw materials for power plants, the plants and fuel for flights.


Already there are systems of electronic devices which with already from satellites by means of laser radiatorswill transfer solar energy to Earth. Technologies are fulfilled. The data collected by the Russian automaticprobes in some areas and on a surface of space objects have fallen of us into the hands. The results arestunning! Only on solar system and on satellites a large amount of water ice from which it is possible to extract drinking water contains, and to control work of system disinfecting will turn out remotely. Manyasteroids have in the subsoil the helium 3, conduits and other minerals capable to effectively replaceterrestrial oil, gas and coal! The Russians have already developed the plant for processing of similar asteroidswhich is planned to be placed in an orbit. They have thought over even ways of transportation of asteroids on Solar system! I am sure if we manage to transfer activity of cybernetic maniacs to space and to direct it to a research of asteroids, we can solve two problems at once: to reduce threat of wars on our planet and to findnew resources instead of quickly reduced terrestrial minerals.


– General Parkers! You just said that Russians have a fine investigation and counterintelligence! But how, youmanaged to get so valuable data? – 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:

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 his clan's work.


– I also saw installation; there the viewer talks to the huge girl from the screen. She glues crain and tells about open data on deactivation of radioactive materials, – at the thought of the girl with a height in one and a half human growth Neil has remembered that it is good to get quicker the good equipment for the Belt Control Center.


The surface of an asteroid was uneven. Telescopes of Earth showed this sector too badly. The congestion of small stones didn't give a chance to see clear. The complexity of the soil chemical composition foretold problems with breed cleaning search. But future plants on Mars need catalysts and additives for composites. It was one of the reasons why Neil has a strong interest in flight and delivery of the equipment. Radiation and communication through partners' networks forced to be more attentive, problems were added also by a lack of cameras around a congestion of stones. They were just inside the module that he was going to take to the place. He's been looking for something natural barriers at least a little protected from accidental occurrence of dangerous meteorites. The longest journey was already passed. The equipment was almost on the site. Therefore, it was necessary to move with extreme caution.


Neal moved the probe to the last study object – a small basin. Close to the preliminary shootings might be some ice deposits. It was necessary to confirm or disprove these data. If it's so, it is necessary to define the chemical composition, volume, and weight.


Several years ago, the Russian space Agency has launched a program for mass sending automated probes to the Asteroid Belt. Their task was to study space debris that lies between Mars and Jupiter, determining their chemical composition, decontamination and distribution equipment for a thorough search of the place. Cybernetics of the Earth can be described in the work of the lazy and primitive robots, compared with their colleagues working abroad.


Remember how many decades have passed since the beginning of the Internet boom, when everyone got himself a system of access to the network, and have completed the relevant institution's experts looking for work at least for creating a website. They could not be called rich, but many decided to not only do the pages in order for children and academics, which they only needed to support the image. Made stores, the system of cash settlement, the portals for the delivery of goods to any place and any transport units. Created a convenient state of the system to the Internet citizen could get help or an answer, not turning to the official. Traffic on the highway even equipped with cameras, which included fixing rules violation, even spending has caught the sensors, causing the observation to remove the number of the car from all angles.


All this happened in a time when almost all people were literally crammed with antibiotics for long term storage. Without the ability to sell their goods agricultural workers cheated, shops continued to come up with highly questionable methods in order to keep food on the counter longer looked tempting. Society has accepted that people are going to die from dangerous additives. This feast of the spirit still for thirty years could not force the earth's programmers to make the portal for the convenience of working in this industry. The same one you can find, even if you're going to only sell apples from the three trees at his dacha. Billions of dollars in turnover are not attracted to the earth's programmers so long that only a decade after they became aware of the future loss from food with additives, they decided to make the first common portal for the convenience of industry. The story of the teachers of the driving courses simple means of transport told every beginner. Over her laughed popular comedians. In space, systems was not a man who is not be offended if his own virtual world would compare with their quality of work. But not the only reason the stones became the object of control of all accountants and players, Roscosmos and the tourists from the Chinese sea.


From asteroids to send to Mars chose only those that had in its composition necessary for the future colonization of Mars minerals. Valued above all water. Its reserves set aside for future stations on the Belt, many militaries secretly thinking about the future of personal inspection trips "with the wind in a vacuum", hoping for a speedy invention of engines and fuel better. Then away from the sun would require a new residential area with own air. Valued metals, rare substances to additives, catalysts, gadolinium for the decontamination of radioactive areas and everything you need for complex purification and synthesis. After the asteroid was recognized as suitable for the purposes of the project, it sent the equipment in one of two ways, from the Ground or from the store (already on the Belt or flying to it).


_ Radioactive waste, which arose after laser cleaning, disposed of, or tow or more systems of the motor to the Packed material. The second method involves the attachment to the soil of the asteroid where there was almost no gravity. Earth designer has created a portal where they proposed methods of attachment, looking for work on a great task and show their work to buyers. There could be found a video which had many ships with the creators of the movies developed about the invasion of aliens. Those and tried to surreptitiously insert their designs into stories of their own movies for free, undercutting the prices from inventors and giving them hundreds of competitors after the success of the film. Say, now those same programmers are going to introduce such fines. In the end, buy! Prices are still insignificant compared to your revenues, and worries about the future of humanity from the creators of the technology much more than the rich Bohemia, copy of which rarely profitable.


The Waistband of these moving following the movement of artificial hands was the only way to attach the stone equipment. To each robot was attached a heavy duty rope. An automated probe, carried out by remote control from Earth drilling, driving all the wires into one and connect them to the launcher. The installation, resembling a small-size missile, produced on the surface of the asteroid and the space around it all that I brought with me. Even in vacuum conditions around small-size asteroids, it was only a small boost to everything that is not attached, began to move independently in any direction. Catch not bound to the detail was difficult, even where he could help the neighbors.


Having reached the asteroid, rare modules falling on its surface under its own weight, because gravity was negligible. For the first dock with a successful hit to the ground often would be enough to release the hoses from the water with soap, so she immediately froze and gave the first mount, and at the same time and disinfection. Even in the ice of the Arctic is inhabited by bacteria, with alien too afraid to face, every owner of the development. But water and soap are almost never used, replacing them with synthetic molecular compounds. When mixed, both substances become sticky and grasp, gaining strength, not decreasing at high and low temperatures. Irradiation at specific frequencies did tar more poignant. With its help, it was possible to separate the module from the asteroid. But this technique was not so often. The programmers of the Earth chose to reconcile all the movements of the house and over the years the flight before landing, to waste less of the precious material. Every kilogram of body weight of the sealant becomes a rejection of a hundred robots on the construction design and packaging of radioactive waste.


– How much more convenient where there is gravity!


And the metal is not soldered, it is necessary only to fold two of the cut, with the air of a connoisseur scolded conditions in space Neil.


The collapse of the asteroids on Mars had two goals: scientific and practical. Both was to conduct experiments and observations associated with the construction of the planet's surface. The stones were small, but they were made of the future of mountains and continents, the surface would someday grow earth trees, there is a need to find a place familiar to the Blue planet animals. While all this is only distant plans, but the laboratory of the Earth used the millions of computers to test theories about how to decontaminate a new soil and air. The systems work is easier to compare and familiar earthly. Therefore, the General scheme and professionals for control stations that took the insurance of food security. System help food producers were once created in order to not have to use the threat of genetic modification or antibiotics for safe keeping. It was introduced with the battle. The opposition raised the whole demonstration, but more and more people fought, demanding harmless to human food. Only under the pressure of reforms started. Not immediately paid program, but their excellence is appreciated still.


– Don't you forget about the solar cells? If electricity will be enough for all of the modules that will make leads up to the mines.


– Still, have to use batteries. Another from the wires technique will fly so that the most skilled detectives will not reveal the cause of death devices.


– Strangled the neighbor's wire, want you to say?


If you look at the earth system the food industry where their portals already offer the user to earn with their help, one can see the main paragraphs. They – the main work of applied analysis. Education of the thousands of textbooks they are classified and transferred to the vector scheme. Their mazes have become the basis of digital circuits’ transitions. A visitor to the site receives a text with pictures where all of his questions arise in minutes. Chapters for small-scale farmers are full of pictures and buttons to search for stores in an area. No problem, they choose the carrier, destination; consider the price for the work.


When a firm appears in the tables they follow a load. If it is in containers on the highway, they have the right to ask the driver to submit photos or the area around to make sure particular employees. Every refrigerated item is sold by the meter, the camera will always show the condition of the products in the warehouse. Advertising portals are the ability to order the work anywhere and at any time of the day. The results are normal, the exceptions are insignificant. The workers themselves attracted payment and the required minimum actions. Do not waste time on quarrels and caprices, people almost do not spoil each other's nerves, because all actions go through the steps where there are no expectations and leaving without a job due to the fact that the boss would also participate in his personal life.


You kicked our stone well.


I also see that its rotation is slowing down.


Someday, our descendants will be to juggle the asteroids as in the circus.


They will be useful to make contact with the God of war on the peace front.


I hope that each poker will hold without the desire for revenge.


Among the military, it happens.


Asteroid attack, provoked by the people, was to strengthen the rotation of Mars. The future planet with the earth's gravity will be the place with the same length of day. The asteroids were carriers of chemicals, without which the colonization of Mars by humans would be unlikely. On the Ground in almost every state were institutions that were involved in the construction of robotic factories using the connections on the Blue planet have not met, but promised great benefits of the virtual miners. It was the catalysts and components for molecular switches, which are used in electronics.


Asteroids increased the mass of Mars, but those that contain water, especially heading to the warmest region of Mars – near the equator. There they gradually melted, releasing CO2 into the atmosphere, thereby compacting it. They have only practiced a soft landing, because their location was among the caves, sheltering plants for decontamination of soil. If Mars were built a faster way to hide the technique from the storms didn't help, new stones covered them. But the plan of its architects, the most important was the choice of location, material quality and upbringing of the new humanity in the work. Because of this, the building was identified as a cult and promised to finish it in two hundred, then eight hundred years.


Work on the study and the towing of asteroids only in the company of Neil and Irene carried out a group numbering a hundred and seventeen people. Only in the asteroid belt worked fifty-two automated probe from Roscosmos, and they rarely trust the plants to the students or Amateurs. Every year in the area of the Asteroid Belt from Earth was sent an automated cargo spacecraft to probes of nuclear warheads and launchers. Within a few years of work on Mars was dropped over 500 asteroids of different sizes. They are not materially changed the conditions on the red planet. But this does not bother scientists. The work had only just begun.


And Mars accumulated physical, chemical and raw potential to become in the future a planet suitable for human life.


Did you check all the controllers supply the data?


– No, but the alarm has not yet filed.


– There's no need to rely on automation, if you're observing a site where not a soul around.


– I try to cherish the time. Now put the machine on the dock and see what's behind.


The probe, led by Neal finally made it to the desired square. By the fence of the ground, he began drilling, in parallel, exploring just taken the test. After 10 minutes was given the first results. Neal had already prepared them to look like the signal's gone.


– Know well about this and always forget! – in the hearts he said aloud. Irina only smiled, continuing to gaze into your monitor. Neal crossed his arms and began to wait the required ten minutes, while the asteroid does not return the probe to the area of the signal. Finally got a signal, it became possible to continue the work.


The studied square was a vast piece of dry ice. Around him was the hard plot, which had to land the module to gain a foothold where the devices are not on the fragile ice, where the blows of the equipment of the machine when you return to fly off into space. Only after the generator will give the signal about the acceleration to the required voltage of electricity, it will be possible to place equipment. Neil finished the job and handed over her night shift. Their managers were experienced, but he knew that in the event of unforeseen difficulties it will Wake the night bell. Home he went, thinking that it is time to go on a diet for the nervous. In the morning woke up thinking that I forgot to turn on the phone and only after convinced that everything is in order, he could afford to say that the most important work of planting is done.


Next week his whole work was devoted to creating ways for off-site analyzers. In weightlessness had to come up with methods of attachment that would hold the equipment when you travel to the right place, but the most difficult was the mounting method where the module was supposed to strike on the ground to extract a core sample. Some of them can be delivered in the automatic laboratory in the Zone. The most interesting were taken to the Ground from there, after all, hardly anyone wanted to do it at their own expense. States all over the world love to protect their borders, the same could be said about the posts, millions of miles from their capitals. Most countries did not like to associate with since there were rumors about the rise of prices of samples for the future industry of Mars. Each country was secretly hoping to put their necks on the valuable specimen of the breed and bring it to their own territory. Because of this policy, they forked at free for owners of the mines delivery. Of course, many countries were willing to deceive the beginner, hiding the true value of the sample. But it was easy with only the rare minerals and the gullible pilots who were ready to accept the incoming offer to buy their mines.


More experienced to know that if you come too quickly the buyers, know that your mine is worth at least a hundred times more than they offer.


– Have you worked, when he opened the lunar ice?


That you, it was in 2013-2014, almost immediately after the discovery of the Martian. Then it was almost forgotten. The boom in development began only after the first programmers decided to make the game for mobile, as usual, and give online players the opportunity for money to steer a real Rover.


– The players were not any and then the game is not free – with a true connoisseur noticed Neal.


Of course, but who but a millionaire could afford to send from the Land the vehicle, weighing at least thirty pounds?


– Programmers are clever. Now you can play for free… no, to work on a miner, fingering his samples. They came up with around this much bonuses and clans for the company that some are even willing to spend some little thing that goes in the pocket of the creators of the tools.


The experience was a rewarding pastime in every sense of the word, Irina was not accustomed to condemning Golden for stores requisitions from students. There are traditionally bad followed so that children are not spending too much. The Terrans watched that inequalities in childhood, not forced the offended to go to work in the security services and the police, then to brutally oppress their former oppressors, children of wealthy parents, inheriting a family business.


Doctors cure to save a person's life. We will save civilization itself, to ensure that through the centuries he had two planets for habitation, – has reminded Neil.


– I hope to before this time it will be in time not to destroy their home.


Went quieter operation. It was important to find a place where the rock was solid, but not so much that it was impossible to drill the tabs. Radar probing of the terrain pointed out that under the small top layer is ice with a size from 10 to 17 meters, a length of 2 km and a width of 800 meters to 1 km. after Receiving these data, Neal introduced them in a common data table on the asteroid and got a total result. Asteroid 77% consisted of frozen water. Of course, on Earth, would it not considered to be so valuable, because it was full of impurities that it remains for us to break down chemists. But that was enough to classify the find in the group "Atmosphere". This stone was suitable for sending to Mars, if it is low radiation. And need researchers, because the work of cleaning the water of impurities begin many years before his arrival on the planet. There was hope that despite the long stay in space most of the radiation struck the upper soil layer, rather than internal, the most valuable part.


– Have you seen the new system hoses for the air ducts?


– They propose to use to supply the material to the other side of the satellite. But I do not believe that cost-effective to carry here the weight. If one such hose comes air, precipitation of toxic catalysts will remain on the walls of the material. They still freeze after around cold. The experiments will be those substances which are distinctly different in composition from the conventional chemistry of these places.


The journey was undertaken once passed the aircraft at the zone. Many said that with telescopes of the Earth you can see most of the spectra of rocks on their soil. But this belief was based more on advertising companies for the sale of the telescope and shares their system of management than on the principles of savings of the overall effort of construction. Some of the stones had small inclusions of rare materials, they were difficult to find. Many of the asteroid radiated the needed range, but the data is accurate the technique was hit by a background in signal transmissions. It was created not only covering the view from the Land to the neighbors, but also their chemical composition. Diffraction of waves perceived by the observatories of the Earth, increased from the radiation of cosmic dust and other phenomena, they decreased the probability of a precise definition of the waves. Therefore, the orbit of the Belt run robots. First flew it for shooting. Another group, already a commercial use engaged in the interesting Geology of each area.


Report forms were received, almost without interruption. Focused on the window in the upper right corner. There is always recommended to place the most important information, because the person's gaze automatically follows the page diagonally, ending the path at this point. There is already a window of data, the protocols showed schedule in the regular mode. Now it was necessary to produce the screwing of the Boers. Working with the light exits the probe from the range took more than three hours. As soon as the last drill went into the ground of the asteroid at the appropriate depth, Neal ordered the probe to seal the cables from each of borax in one and connect them to the base, closer to the ceiling so as not to create a large shoulder under the tension of the cable by accidental impacts. The launcher was kept in the probe. They are placed only two. After using a second probe was launched to Ceres – the largest object of the Asteroid Belt. On the orbit of Ceres was a kind of cosmic warehouse where attaches cargo ships sent from Earth. There probes were replenished with fuel, drills, surveillance cameras and other parts needed for the job. You could buy and launch system. The second was an emergency, it can be used for the same purpose, but most were saving in case of occurrence of a random meteorite, which would have to evacuate the base.
