Ways to heaven. Colonization of Mars I - Violet Ugrat

– 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.
