– 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.

– Be sure to order in store lab for yourself.

– Do you think we'll be able to do, if you will use designers from five years ago?

I believe their technicians. Reserves of strength they do well, and the products stock will enable us to save time. As soon as there will be computers, we can sell the space of operators on the Ground.

– At our prices and buy them not the school, – summed Irina, internally agreeing with his lust… no, not of knowledge, but honest money on new knowledge.

Before first prove to the Department of recruitment of the company, Neil believed that he will remain forever in the food industry. He started as a programmer on call at one of the portals supply of food. Such a place was difficult to obtain, the contenders were many. But the work itself was not so complicated. The secret of professionalism – not to lose your head in difficult situation and support all options in this condition, that the equipment not cause had never. That's probably why engineers themselves think that the main secret of the expert remains the method of squeezing wages, where everything is established. Customers somehow believe that if there are no problems, it's time to fire the staff. It works anywhere other than electronics. How many magnates were ruined because of their errors! How many politicians understood that they Shine only when the amendments could be done after Newspapers these were considered fools or foreign spies!

– Why don't you look at the far corners?

– Any good news?

– It seems that all paths to our database yet far protected at the borders. It will be difficult to fly up from a distance without hitting other asteroids.

Only if the meteor is coming, not a manned module.

Yet for him, the navigation is a complex.

We were the first who dared to climb so far. After the foreign intelligence with respect, others will have a chance to come here as by rail.

– I always think of the pain those who have funds for flying to overcome the gravity of Earth, for years of support equipment so the apparatus has reached another planet, but lacked the ability to calculate all below, on-site background soil is not drowned out by the signals of the control center.

With one of our robots to Mars. It was launched after the Opportunity that opened their water ice. But the next was able to catch its signal on the spot and animate the robot.

– There is a lot of iron, technics made a mistake with the calculation power of the transmitter at the surface. It ceased to hear thirty meters above her.

– Don't repeat their mistakes.

Security cameras have already prepared the data on nearby asteroids and their movement. The place was well chosen, in the coming years, none of them should be close enough to damage equipment. Now you can search for camera protection and fasten of ropes to the ground, their tracks will travel light all-terrain vehicles.

After receiving the signal from the probe on the job, Neal opened the first module of energy generation and fastened it near the probe, in the area closer to the axis of rotation. So he most of the time will not lose precious opportunities to use solar lights to their batteries. A minute later she got in touch with remote, reiterating the willingness to work. Neil drove the probe to a safe distance from the installation and have implemented it to run in the direction of the next asteroid. Checking coordinates and the flight path, he transferred the probe in the autopilot and started the launcher.

– You at your old job, you had to run drones in difficult climatic conditions?

Yes. Once had to make a new batch of robots tracking. The portal came a firm that decided to put black caviar in several countries and to salt its path. It was necessary to check the equipment that the customer has received all the data on the progress of works. Had to work when I installed them in different compartments so the review was full and double, in the case of breakage. After that, the carrier asked us to do another project and checking equipment, it was ordering more.

Two hours later, everything was ready to start. Neal took a deep breath, double-checked all the system and pressed the button of the countdown. On screen display timer that quickly changed one digit at a time: 59,58,57…45,44,43…5,4,3,2,1. On the screen in big red letters to highlight «start». With the rear camera of the probe, which is firmly entrenched on the asteroid, Neal could watch the beginning of the first in his life, the separation of the service module of the space object. Installation, shattering a bit of dust around himself, sharply raised the hatch. From him, pulling the ropes out of the first container with the robot. At some point, it stopped abruptly. Hung the system? No knowledgeable person could seem that the little Rover has stopped because the battery is not able to move a massive object, and that's going to sink under its own weight down to the asteroid. But it was a deceptive impression. The powerful and dramatic rhythm of earth's technology was impossible where get missiles. In zero gravity control systems for the engines had not only to consider data from the Land but also check the options to remove random background or immediately transmit the error reports to the control center. The slightest movement could push the Rover from the surface. Back it can only pull the rope attached to the rocket. The first design had only one brace, both systems were intended to cover the future mine and rail cables. They will help the machines to take samples and to conduct experiments with the reactions. A lot of equipment needed, where they found materials for the future air. Their experiments were able to supply each country, this right was protected by the international laws. Everyone was afraid of poisoning, but noble has allocated funds for filtering. For some time he slowly, invisible to humans, swam for the launcher, increasingly picking up speed created by the ongoing thrust of the rocket. Finally, even with the camera power installation, the Nile was seen as the Rover dutifully went on the ground below soon to make this forgotten stone covered in systems where they will be fixed laboratory of the most famous scientists in the world.

Do you notice the interference?

They are small. Shows that are not from devices.

Looks like the hackers.

The laboratory and the Centre of the earth formation stormed the journalists. Some of them, according to protection, have tried even to find unprotected places in the mail to download the data secretly. Now rarely buy Newspapers with headlines but will gladly pay for the film, showing real data that clan on the zone. There they will acquire ideas nested writers and Directors. The movie will make money, which no one even dreams, so to hire the best hackers are not a problem for them. All companies resisted because the growing popularity of the cinema increased the probability that the largest firm in the world to lay hands on their business. If it was financed only by the state, it is this would have happened, because the Corporation was headed by employees of the security services and their relatives, official permission was helping them to hold a monopoly when problems had to be solved with their fists. Hacker attacks hurt, but they were powerless, because most methods assume input programs bought on the side of the devices, or passwords, rogue employees, distributing them to anyone. Neither one nor the other the company was not. Only that it could afford its own system of mine with the customers. Guard had each at its own expense, but the cost of the work paid for even had a queue of people wanting to join them.

I finish the test of strength.

Now you can have fun with ATVs.

Solar panels supply electricity, it will be enough to ride.

Don't make races with collisions.

I don't know why these trips are so quickly forced officials to fork out.

They are the parents who willingly give their offspring a new toy.

By typing in start-stop necessary the coordinates the same as before the probe, turned it in the autopilot. Guests with foreign appliances will be only five months when their equipment will arrive from the nearest gold shop in orbit. Longer need to those who will send sophisticated equipment from the Ground. You will need to take samples and begin decontamination. Starting with the top layer of the asteroid all molecules and its impurities will be studied and neutralized prior to its fall to the planet's surface. Come even containers with terrestrial plants. They will live in a new area, under the protection of the machines. All changes of their molecular composition ecologists will study so as not to miss the extinction of man needs qualities from generation to generation. When you find mutations, new experiments with a modified environment will show what the smallest particles of impurities created them. In their containers will necessarily be edible Lotus, because their seeds can be stored for hundreds of years, and they will not lose the ability to germinate.

When we worked in the delivery of food, the main challenge sponsors put exact deadlines. At their request of the test, work was done on carrots. The terms of harvest, they offered to calculate so precisely that the crops were delivered, but where he was waiting in warehouses or stores.

This system helped to refuse the antibiotics that are added to products. If he goes quickly, you can not cheat.

The technique helped to verify the hypermarkets when they refused to accept the goods, or not given in time data on demand.

If you publicly give the number of sold chickens yesterday and plan for the next few days, the portal will attract legislators and tax faster than farmers who sell through the cashier and make a profit.

Because of this system so long forbidden.

But then she decided the little shops with foreign owners. Decisions practiced on them, many boasted a stable position.

But then the new policy after the election made it mandatory for all shops to use the system a controlled delivery. Tech cyberizationto protect people from thoughts about the benefits of using environmentally harmful substances to food.

Sales were reliable, farmers drove under the graphic.

Is it already in the vegetable markets of the Zone?

Samples from plants in laboratories belt already eat insects that breed there. But safe products remained rare. Scientific journals were full of charts with a description of the problems, even the school wanted to do at least one private lab for kids, explaining the interest in the test preparation aptitude of future space engineers. They increasingly gave permission, remembering what nice people work in the leadership of the most famous open-source projects Zone.

Do you think this piece will be delivered to Mars only after the main construction?

It all depends on how radioactive it is.

Say that some blocks of ice will leave for the future habitable module on the Belt.

It's cold here. Even if there is a station fit for life, here come a few guests.

If this chip is destined to lie here for centuries, the shell for its preservation will have to be changed more often.

The Red Star

There was a warm Saturday summer day. The sun was shining to the multi-colored field in which thedandelions, the buttercups, the hand bells, the camomiles and the forget-me-nots grew. Birds sang, meeting the end of spring or the beginning of summer. The rare clouds were floating in the blue sky. Thegreens of the trees reminded that the spring had already ended, and gene engineers would not be able to stretch their predatory paws to the nature of this place. Marina specially left her house in order to manageenjoying this beauty before the work.

She was sitting on the grass and looking in the sky. Somewhere there, very far, on S-321 asteroid called so in the internal register of firm there was a robot which collected the radioactive dust from this race car. Thisrobot was operated by Marina from the building of the space agency «The Red Star».

During the way she saw Denis. His change began at the same time. Today because of the good weather he also was walking to the office.

– How do you like the new systems of the observation? – Denis started talking to her after a usual greeting.

– Are you about those who protect the local nature?

– No, I’m about the programs at work.

– Sometimes it seems to me that electronics engineers want to make everything so simple and clear thatthey will be left without work because of it.

– The temptation to receive everything in perfect tune and not to pay to the technical support is alwaysgreat. Its roots are in the purchase of any other goods.

– I consider that the matter is in the very system of work. Any business if all its subtleties become known to many people would be stolen by someone. The programs in their way are the same form of the clearnesswhat should be done. It is natural that nothing known people deprive the professionals to receive thedividends.

Around the control center of flights there was a small piece of the wild nature remaining far in the countrythough the trip helicopters were for everyone at the expense of firm. The road was supported in goodshape tooб because its improvement usually fulfilled the new equipment for the space communication. The programs were already in an excellent condition, the operator could not be able to leave the buildingin order to bring new tires for processing, to change a covering, to carry out examination of its conditionand even to clean incidentally fallen trees after the storm. A lot of roofs and canopies in the settlementbecame the ground already for the researchers of environmentally clear solar energy. The majority of thechemical formulas used for the molecular switching were already in the computers of the base. The newestand almost forgotten old technologies could be found in already existing systems of power plants at themodules used in plan system of the scientific town. The wind-driven generators were not less. Generallytogether and each detail separately were always possible to see at advertizing in the most differentnetworks, newspapers, TV channels. The radio city was placed at the messages of communication and at thebroadcast of competitions.

Two manual home helicopters were frolicking around Marina. The electronic friends of the person weremaking photos of insects and flowers; gave shootings to the home computer and to own systems of the safeprocessing.

The house security guards were always those devoted beings who were allocated with the qualities whichthe live pets didn’t have. Marina’s small helicopters could call protection in case of danger, make a photo of the dangerous villain and at once transfer all his data to search. They always scanned the area around heroutdoors and gave signals having noticed the foreigner or an animal. They looked for forage, being alreadyconnected at home to the electric socket allocated for them in time. Their flight was pleasant to see. Butthe pirouettes and aerobatic movements were a part of system which Marina saw in some old musical show. She liked them so much that she didn't forbid to helicopters to copy their refined movements. Her littlefriends replaced a dog so reliable, as well as the other electronic pets.

– Do you remember when we last repaired the building P-18?

– Should I learn whether the robots were sent there for drawing up of the estimate?

– No, I’ll look myself.

Denis had the flying robots for protection too and didn't like to be left without protection. The world is fullof danger. The prestigious work and life outdoors accustomed engineers not to forget about self-defense. The modest models of pets despite of low cost perfectly coped with their duties. Their primitive mindsometimes surprised with the qualities which forced people to allocate their favorite electronic deviceswith qualities of animals or even people. Not all of them were a fruit of love of their owner to the smallmachine. Some programs could be put so that the person’s electronic friend coquetted with him, like an animal or other ways invented by the person. Nice pirouettes in the air, the mysterious flight around thestopped lonely owner, and the original changes of the sound timbre during the talk to the owner werethought once by the idealists. Successful or unsuccessful decisions were followed not only the contract in which the author of the program refused almost any responsibility for the coquetry forms. Even people of mind with small requirements couldn't remember the case that the helicopter got mad and attacked theowner.

– Our pets claim again that weather will be good tomorrow, but there is a lot of insects, – Denis has joyfullythrown up a hand towards the device and all four have flown away aside in order at the safe distance forpeople to generate the radiation which doesn’t admit mosquitoes and gadflies to them.

– It’s high time of nightingales now, – Marina was happy, as well as the nature around.

– Mademoiselle, do you want that one of them will perform before you? – Gallant Denis has a littlerummaged in the control panel of drones. – One of them is only five hundred meters from us and is also fullof desire to be pleasant to the ladylove.

– Let's listen?

Denis has adjusted the transfer. First he has included the transfer using the panel at his pocket, but thenhas changed his mind and has put a sound to one of the nearest helicopters. The nice morning pleased theforest birds’ king by the trills.

– The nightingales are the wonderful riddle of the reason.

– Why?

– The person is considered to be clever. The property of his famous mind is to make his life aroundconvenient and pleasant.

– And safe, – Denis added.

– Yes. One of the important components of life is a culture. It gives the noble requirements which arenecessary for the survival of a kind and its safety.

– Don't spend money for weapon, they will be useful for the healthy food, – Denis joked.

– The selection criteria at the works of art are the thin and sublime feelings having chosen by the humanmind. By the civilized mind.

– So have people chosen a nightingale as a wonderful one?

– People are clever. But it is interesting how the nature with the same civilization has given to a nightingalethe modest coloring, having believed that his singing will help to attract a female. The genus of thenightingales survived, increasing the quality of singing. Hundreds of thousands years it worked with its trills, their beauty, losing at the same time the external brightness. The nature also has people’s delicate tastewhich they have chosen a nightingale for a musical standard. And it didn't begin to add to this bird anythingelse besides attracting the ladylove.

– Do both people and the nature consider his singing perfect?

– So this is interesting.

– Perhaps, our mind is a natural consequence of self-improvement on the native planet, isn’t it?

Denis has thought of the perfection problems where the revolutionary ideas were the only great weapon. He has been deprived of the ridiculous artificiality having forced the person to do his own nature strong by the intervention, rapprochement with the strangers only because of the awkwardness. His independentposition having deprived of the aspiration to breaking and lie has pushed him to a simple explanation of theunderstanding problem on the top of perfection.

– Singing of a nightingale as the perfection top having recognized by nature, its female and civilized peoplecan be connected with health. The cultural people don't offend others; the person survives the same way.

– Do you want to tell that except the primitive «thanks» and ability to be polite for the sake of career thereis also an environment of healthy feelings, which is perceived by a human brain?

– Yes, it is. Then the mind has a rest, but physically the person feels better. The mind hasn't realized thenecessity of action yet, but the physiology has felt it. It has induced to make a choice for everything that is for survival.

– It’s a beautiful feature of a difficult formula. I’m already eager to make the program and to look for theprocessing data.

– The application programmers don’t really love the systemic ones. They are conservatives or half-educated persons. Otherwise the majority of professions would be also stuffed with the necessary equipment, as in our branch.

– Many people say that systemic are guilty. Those who do a technical part of the program prefer to competewith the professionals of work which they try to replace.

– Perhaps, they lack the restraint to understand by several words that professionals choose the mostqualitative things, having processed in their own brain millions of other options, do they?

The fight for the lifestyle together with the Red Star went at all languages of the world. The respectableheads of the company whose caress the laziest user of network of the remote plants could proudly callhimself as the scientist of the future, preferred to show millions of advantages of luxury service throughtheir firm. The miracle of the outside world with one million advantages took surprise and jealousy. Onlythe complexity of works and the pretty brotherhood called as the style of relations at the user’s supporthelped the company to remain rather famous in order to have the secret power even during the elections. Only this forced them to look for the friendship with the company like the Red Star and to allocate it thestate support for reports. Here the diligent shaking hands brought to politicians the support not only fromthe owners who were travelling all over the countries and planets of the solar system of cars. Someone’s solemn destiny having created by own cares and sons’ dreams of the terrestrial nature of creations, becameas a pride of mankind and a point of the undergone verification of decisions at the money transfer. Eventhe brutish ugly mugs of the most unsuccessful designs of cars could give hundreds thousands of the gentleyoung ladies’ voices. Of course, if everything was arranged as well as at Marina’s firm.

– Recently the hacker program was caught; – Denis decided to entertain Marina by news. – Unknown peoplefound the system of the impact on military’s mentality from the generals at which they had almostchildren's desire to be at the foreign special troops.

– It seems to me, it is only an agitation. The promotion for the sake of our work.

– I can imagine how the first who applied a technique rejoiced. He hardly was not from army.

– If he exists and is so offended that has gone to fight, the generals will regret.

– It isn't known how such a suppression of volition will work. There won't be the world, because every largemilitary brings up and constrains own army.

– Only if his strange behavior won’t be noticed by others. Otherwise he will be dismissed.

– And if he is one who knows the automatic equipment well, will everything fail at sudden dismissal?

– It is one more occasion to bring up the educated people.

Talking friends haven't noticed how they came to the office.

The building for the staff was big, spacious and convenient for work. There were powerful computers andconvenient chairs at all workplaces. There were automatic machines with hot and cold water and a snackbar where it was possible to buy coffee, tea and different confectionery. Marina liked sweet rolls withcinnamon and marzipans very much. The careful owners of the company have created the same conditionsat the offices of other business centers. Two of them were outside the Polar circle. Almost each employeewas suggested to work several months in a year among the eternal cold weather; and there was a few whoseldom refused. It was also comfortable on the ground in the permafrost inside the buildings, as well as in those which had been surrounded with the blossoming fields.

The delivery of food was exact; under two domes of the main hangars being covered for the preservation of heat also by snow, there was the necessary temperature even for the equipment which was often usedbeyond the base. Nevertheless many permanent members of the staff of these latitudes really were in other buildings, thousands of kilometers from them, operating the equipment at the remote access. Allsystem of work was the indicative ground for the future equipment. It was used in cold weather of thespace depths. Its existence was already a part of the mankind’s life which carried out programs for thecenturies forward. Everybody knew that the development of technologies would ever lead to opening of a way to the distant space and the embodiment of an old mankind’s dream about the revival of his mosttalented representatives by far descendants. The management preferred to care for increasing in talents of the staff, without being afraid to frighten by examples from life.

– Remember the beginning of the 21st century. There was the tragedy of the explosion of Fukushima in theworld where a huge machine of controlling of the atomic energy existed. It is difficult to find the militarynuclear objects. But here the nuclear power plant was built on the seism dangerous place, but nobody hadclosed it before the explosion because of an earthquake, – the heads reminded.

– Pay attention that at the time of Fukushima building the state was directed by professor. Who as not thescientist understands that it is impossible to give such permissions? And how do we treat the quality of science if nobody of his subordinates closed the NPP?

– That time there was already an Internet almost all around the world. Everyone could write to othercountry though there was a serious system of shadowing the author of the message. Whether it’s possible to accuse it because of nobody made noise not only about Fukushima, but also didn't hand over to foreignintelligence services those who used the chemical weapon? – Each question on the trainings among thescientists of the Red Star had been intended in order that they got used to compare the scientific ideaswith the real facts, to notice where the control system failed. The heads of firm once were the authors of many state programs about control of development. Now they preferred to be engaged in space, but taughtthe personnel also to work with the bureaucratic system, expecting new orders.

Marina usually came to the agency in fifteen minutes before beginning of the working day. This time shedared to be late for five minutes: she won't be late anyway, and it is always pleasant to look at beauty of the nature. Having turned on the working computer, Marina has collected her long fair hair in a bunch in order they won’t bother her. She put on the headphones and started a system of connection to the manualcontrol. At the robot (Marina herself called it the Friend because it reminded her a dog) there was a camerawhich showed what occurred around. The radioactive sensors by which the Friend-798 determined the levelof the soil danger submitted the reports to the general system; they were used for the quantum checks andlenses. The device, similar to the vacuum cleaner according to structure was a part of her all-terrain vehicle.
