Inxalenye yokuqala yomsebenzi wefantasy malunga nekamva elinokwenzeka kakhulu apho amaqumrhu e-IT aya kubhukuqa amandla amazwe aphelelwe lixesha kwaye aqalise ukucinezela uluntu ngokwawo.
ukungena
Ekupheleni kwe-21 kunye nokuqala kwenkulungwane yama-22, ukuwa kwawo onke amazwe aseMhlabeni kwagqitywa. Indawo yabo yathathwa ngamaqumrhu e-IT anamandla ezizwe ngezizwe. Igcuntswana labaphathi bezi nkampani liye lanyanzeliswa kwaye ngonaphakade phambi koluntu lonke ekuphuhliseni, ngenxa yovavanyo olubukhali lokuguqulwa kwemvelo yabo. Ngexesha lemfazwe kunye namazwe afayo, baphoqeleka ukuba bafudukele eMars, apho baqala ukufaka iiseti eziyinkimbinkimbi ze-neuroimplants, nangaphambi kokuzalwa komntwana. AbakwaMartians bazalwa kwangoko bengengomntu ncam, benamandla ahambelanayo agqitha lee ezabantu.
Isithixo esiphambili sempucuko entsha "ye-cyborg" yayingu-Edward Kroc, umthuthukisi ongcono kakhulu wenkampani ye-NeuroTech, owayengowokuqala ukufunda indlela yokudibanisa iikhomputha ngokuthe ngqo kwingqondo yomntu. Ingqondo yakhe eqaqambileyo yamisela umfanekiso we "neuroman" - inkosi yehlabathi elitsha, apho ubunyani benyani bathatha ulawulo lwehlabathi "elidala". Uvavanyo lokuqala lwe-neurotechnology lwaluhlala luhamba kunye nokufa kwezifundo zovavanyo: izigulane kwizikolo ezihlaliswayo, ekungekho mntu udla ngokukhathala ngazo. Eli hlazo lisetyenziswe njengesizathu sokuxhokonxa ukoyiswa kwe-NeuroTech corporation. Abanye babalawuli benkampani, kunye no-Edward Kroc ngokwakhe, bagwetywa yi-UN e-Hague ngolwaphulo-mthetho oluchasene noluntu kwaye bagwetyelwa ukufa. Kwaye iNeuroTech corporation yafudukela kuMars kwaye ngokuthe ngcembe yaba liziko loluntu olutsha.
Emva kokoyisa utshaba oluqhelekileyo, impikiswano phakathi kwamagunya asemhlabeni yaqatsela ngamandla ahlaziyiweyo. Kwaneprojekthi ye-interstellar expedition, apho phantse lonke ihlabathi lithatha inxaxheba, alikwazanga ukudibanisa iintshaba ezindala. Kodwa i-interstellar spacecraft Unity, kunye neqela lezizwe ngezizwe lezona njineli zibalaseleyo kunye nezazinzulu ezifanelekileyo ngokweminyaka yobudala, nangona kunjalo yasungulwa kwicala lenkqubo ekufutshane yeAlpha Centauri. Ukuqaliswa kwangaphambili kweeprobhothi zerobhothi kuqinisekisile ubukho beplanethi eneemeko ezifanelekileyo zokusingqongileyo kwi-orbit ye-Alpha Centauri B. Inqanawa yathwala indawo yokuqala yokusebenza "yonxibelelwano olukhawulezayo", ngokusekelwe kumgaqo-siseko wemilinganiselo ebuthathaka yeenkqubo ze-quantum ezibanjwe. Ixesha lomlinganiselo oqinileyo wenkqubo ye-quantum ngokukhawuleza idlulisa ulwazi phakathi kwenqanawa kunye noMhlaba. Emva koko, "unxibelelwano olukhawulezayo" lwasetyenziswa ngokubanzi, kodwa lwahlala luyindlela ebiza kakhulu yonxibelelwano. Ngelishwa, uloyiso lwempucuko yasemhlabeni lwalungamiselwanga ukuba lwenzeke. Abasebenzi be-Unity bayeka ukunxibelelana emva kweminyaka engamashumi amabini yokubaleka, xa, ngokwezibalo, bekufanele ukuba bafikelele kwi-orbit ye-Novaya Zemlya. Nangona, ikamva lakhe lalingasenaxhala nakubani na ngenxa yeentlekele ezinkulu ezazishukumisa ihlabathi ngelo xesha.
Ukoyiswa okukhulu kwiMfazwe yeSithuba sokuQala yi-United States kunye nokuvalwa kwendawo okwalandelayo kukhokelele kubhukuqo-mbuso eRashiya. Amandla abanjwe ngumlawuli wangaphambili we-Brain Institute, u-Nikolai Gromov, owavakalisa ukuba ungumlawuli ongunaphakade. I-rumor inikwe amandla angaphezu kwawomntu-i-clairvoyance kunye ne-telepathy, ngoncedo apho watshabalalisa zonke iintshaba kunye "nee-arhente zempembelelo" ngaphakathi koBukhosi. Phantse ngoko nangoko, kwenziwa inkonzo entsha yezobuntlola - iSebe loLawulo loLwazi. Injongo yayo ebhengeziweyo yayikukuthatha ulawulo olungqongqo lwesiphithiphithi solwazi lwe-Intanethi kunye nokukhusela iingqondo zabemi kwimpembelelo eyonakalisayo yamaMartians. Ukongezelela, i-MIC ayizange ikhathazeke ngokugcinwa ngokusemthethweni "kwamalungelo oluntu", kwaye ngaphandle kokungabaza isebenzisa amayeza kunye nezinye iindlela ezingcolileyo zokuchaphazela ingqondo yabemi. Kufuneka kuqatshelwe ukuba iidemokhrasi zaseNtshona nazo zaziphulukene nokubengezela kwazo ngelo xesha. Luhlobo luni lwenkululeko olukhoyo kwiimeko zokunqongophala ngokupheleleyo kwabo bonke oovimba kunye nengxaki esisigxina yezoqoqosho? Ngaphandle koko, awukwazi ukushukuma ngokwenene xa kukho ii-microchips entlokweni yakho ezibeka esweni onke amanyathelo anomdla kwiinkampani ze-inshurensi, iibhanki zababolekisi kunye neekomiti ezichasene nobunqolobi. Imibutho yoluntu yaphantse yafa, amazwe amaninzi aphuhlileyo, kwiintlungu zabo zokufa, ayengena kwiinkqubo zolawulo oluzimeleyo, ezithe, kwakhona, zadlala ezandleni zamaMartians, abakhanyela nayiphi na i-statehood.
Ngombulelo kumkhosi ogqithileyo woBukhosi baseRussia, bakwazile ukuphumelela iMfazwe yesiBini yesikhala: baqhawula umqobo kwaye bamise imikhosi emikhulu kuMars. Abemi beplanethi ebomvu, phantsi kolawulo lweBhunga leeNgcebiso zeMartian Settlements, babeka inkcaso ekrakra, eyakhokelela ekudakaleni kwenani lezixeko kunye nokufa kwabantu abaninzi. Ngaphantsi koxinzelelo oluvela kuwo onke amanye amazwe kunye nosongelo lwemfazwe yenyukliya epheleleyo, ngokukodwa kunye neChina kunye ne-United States, uBukhosi baseRashiya bunyanzelekile ukuba bulahle amabango abo kuyo yonke iMars. Ngokutsho kwesivumelwano esitsha, ubukho bezinye iifom ezixhobileyo kwi-Mars akuvumelekanga, ngaphandle kwemikhosi yokugcina uxolo ye-UN, eyajika ngokukhawuleza ibe yinto engenanto. Enyanisweni, eli yayilixesha elibalulekileyo kuyo yonke imbali yanamhlanje. AbakwaMartians ngokwabo bayavuma, ngaphandle kokungabaza, ukuba abantu abafakela iikhomputha kwiingqondo zabo basindiswa ekutshatyalalisweni okupheleleyo njengeklasi kwaye njengento yentlalo kuphela ngobutshaba obude bamazwe asemhlabeni.
Imfazwe yenyukliya yaseAsiya eyalandelayo phakathi koBukhosi baseRussia kunye neTshayina ngaphezulu kobutyebi bezimbiwa bokugqibela beplanethi, obugxile kwiArctic naseSiberia, yasiphelisa ngokupheleleyo isoyikiso kwinkululeko yesijikelezi-langa esibomvu. Ngaphandle kwento yokuba uBukhosi baphuma boyisile kwidabi elifayo, amandla abo athotywa ngokupheleleyo. Imimandla emikhulu yaseSiberia neTshayina ayizange ilungelwe ukuphila kangangamashumi eminyaka. Imfazwe yenyukliya yaseAsia yamkelwa njengeyona ntlekele inkulu kwimbali yoluntu. Emva koku, amazwe abe phantsi kobuxhakaxhaka beMartians avunyelwa ngonaphakade ukuba abe nezixhobo zenyukliya.
Ubukhosi baqhubeka eminye iminyaka engamashumi amabini, xa onke amanye amazwe ase-jure sele ephelile, esiza phantsi kokuxhaswa kwe-Consultative Council. Lo mbuso wamva uphefumlele uloyiko kumaMartians ixesha elide, kodwa akukho okunye. Ekugqibeleni, elinye lamalinge okubulala umlawuli laphumelela. Ngaphandle kwentando ekhokelayo yozwilakhe okhohlakeleyo, uBukhosi baseRussia bawa ngoko nangoko baba zizakhiwo ezininzi ezifana ne-Neurotech, zakrazula iBloc yaseMpuma - isiseko sobukrelemnqa esavela kwiindawo zokuhlala eziphantsi komhlaba zaseSiberia eseMpuma nakumantla eTshayina. Eyona ntlekele inkulu yayiyi-Telecom-ru corporation, i-conglomerate ye-Russian IT corporations yangaphambili, eyathi emva koko yaphumelela indawo elungileyo phantsi kwelanga leplanethi ebomvu. Ngokukodwa, ngenxa yokuba ngaphandle kokungabaza okungadingekile wasebenzisa uphuhliso lwe-MIK kwinkalo yolawulo lwabasebenzi. Nangona kunjalo, yayilawulwa yi-100% efanayo ye-neurohumans njengamanye amaqumrhu aseMartian, nangona inzala yamakholoni aseRashiya. I-Telekom ngokucacileyo yayingenazo iimvakalelo ezifudumeleyo kubukumkani obulahlekileyo. AbakwaMartians baphefumlela phezulu: amandla enyani azange aphinde acele umngeni kulo naliphi na ilizwe.
Kwakungekho zizwe kuMars ekuqaleni; yonke into yayiqhutywa ngamaqumrhu afana neNeuroTech kunye ne-MDT (iteknoloji yedijithali yaseMartian), ezimbini zababoneleli benethiwekhi abakhulu. I-MDT yaphuma kwi-NeuroTech kwiintsuku zayo zokuqala, kwaye ngokudibeneyo yayingahlukani njengamaqela angasekhoyo eRiphabhlikhi kunye neDemokhrasi e-United States. Ezi zigebenga zimbini ezidityanisiweyo ngokuthe nkqo zidibanise ezona khonkco zibalulekileyo zetekhnoloji kwihlabathi lanamhlanje: uphuhliso lwesoftware, imveliso yombane kunye nokubonelela ngeenkonzo zonxibelelwano. Kwakukho umbutho omnye kuphela owawufana noworhulumente - i-Advisory Council of Martian Settlements, eyayiquka abameli bazo zonke iinkampani ezibalulekileyo ezibek' esweni ukuthotyelwa kwemithetho yokhuphiswano.
UMartian Gustav Kilby, unamarhe okuba yinzala ethe ngqo yomnye “wabafundi” abalishumi elinesibini baka-Edward Kroc, owathi ixesha elide waqhuba uphando lwezenzululwazi phantsi kwephiko le-BioTech Inc. -i-subsidiary ye-NeuroTech, yaseka iqumrhu layo, i-Mariner Instruments. Uphuhliso lwangaphambili lukaGustav Kilby kwicandelo leekhompyuter zemolekyuli livumele inkampani ukuba iqalise ukuveliswa kwezixhobo ezitsha. Ngaphambili, iikhomputha zeemolekyuli zazijongwa njengentsimi ecacileyo kakhulu nengathembisiyo. Impumelelo yeMariner Instruments yakhawuleza yabuphikisa obu bulumko buqhelekileyo. Iikhomputha ezakhiwe kwimigaqo yee-molecule ze-DNA ziye zabamba iikristale ze-semiconductor zendabuko kwisantya sokusombulula iingxaki ezithile, kwaye azinakulingana ngokulula kokuhlanganiswa emzimbeni womntu. Ukufakela i-m-chips, kwakwanele ukwenza ii-injection ezininzi, kunokuba uthuthumbise umxhasi ngemisebenzi yotyando.
Ukugcina ubunkokeli bayo obunqabileyo, i-NeuroTech yabhengeza ngomdla omkhulu iprojekthi yokwenza i-quantum supercomputer ekwaziyo ukuphelisa ngokupheleleyo umahluko phakathi kokwenyani kunye nemodeli yayo yemathematika. Uphuhliso lwesi sihloko luye lwenziwa ixesha elide kunye neenkampani ezininzi, kodwa i-NeuroTech kuphela ikwazile ukwenza isixhobo esiqhelekileyo esidlula kakhulu amandla azo naziphi na ezinye iintlobo zeekhomputha. Ngoncedo loomatshini be-quantum, iimbongi kunye nabaculi banokuziva umoya wentwasahlobo esondelayo, abadlali bezemidlalo banokuziva i-adrenaline yokwenyani kunye nobushushu bokulwa kunye ne-orcs, kwaye iinjineli zinokukha imodeli epheleleyo kunye nokusebenza kweyona mveliso inzima kakhulu, njengesiphekepheke, kwaye uyivavanye kuyo nayiphi na indlela. Iimatriki zeQuantum ezakhelwe kwinkqubo yemithambo-luvo, kuvavanyo lokuqala, zavula amathuba amatsha onxibelelwano phakathi kwabantu ngokugqithisela ngokuthe ngqo iingcinga. Kancinane kamva, iprojekthi enesibindi ngakumbi yabhengezwa ukuba iphinde ibhale ngokupheleleyo ingqondo kwi-quantum matrix. Ithemba lokuba yi-supercomputer ephilayo yayisoyikisa kwabaninzi njengoko yayinomtsalane kwabambalwa abakhethiweyo.
Ngo-2122, isixokelelwano sezijikelezi-langa sakhenkceka silindele ummangaliso olandelayo wezobuchwepheshe. Ngaxeshanye nokuqaliswa kweeseva ezininzi zovavanyo, iphulo elikhulu lentengiso laqala. Isoftware ekhoyo yatshintshelwa ngokukhawuleza kwiingoma ezintsha, kwaye iNeuroTech yayingenasiphelo kwabo babefuna ukungena emizimbeni yabo uphuhliso lwamva nje olusekwe kwi-quantum mechanical uncertainty. Abakhuphisana nabo abavela kwi-MDT bajonge bengenakunceda kwi-bacchanalia eyayisenzeka kwaye, ukuba kunokwenzeka, bavavanya amathuba abo kwimarike yempahla yeofisi.
Khawube nomfanekiso-ngqondweni wokothuka komntu wonke xa iNeuroTech ivala ngokungalindelekanga iprojekthi, eyayithembisa izibonelelo ezimangalisayo. Iprojekthi yavalwa phantse ngoko nangoko kwaye ngaphandle kwengcaciso. Ngokuthe cwaka nangokurhoxa, iNeuroTech yahlawula imbuyekezo enkulu kubathengi nakwamanye amaziko achaphazelekayo. Zonke iziseko zonxibelelwano ezitsha zachithwa ngokuzolileyo zasiwa kwindawo engaziwayo. Iikhowudi zenkqubo kunye nolwazi lobugcisa bezinye iinkampani zathengwa ngayo nayiphi na imali, zagcinwa ngokungqongqo kwaye azizange zisetyenziswe naphi na, nangona oovimba abakhulu benziwa kuzo zonke iindawo. Kodwa, ngokucacileyo, inkampani yezorhwebo yayingakhathazeki konke konke malunga nelahleko enkulu. Ukuphendula imibuzo enokuvela ngokungenakuphepheka, abameli abasemthethweni bambombozela ngokungacacanga into ethile malunga neengxaki kwicandelo lemithetho esisiseko yefiziksi. Yaye akukho nto iqondakala ngakumbi inokukhutshwa kubo. Kungokwemvelo ukuba imfihlakalo yeprojekthi ye-quantum inike i-theorists yelenqe kuyo yonke imivumbo engapheliyo kwi-fantasy kumashumi eminyaka ezayo, ukugxotha izihloko ezichumileyo ezifana nokubulawa kukaKennedy, ukubulawa kuka-Edward Kroc okanye i-mission ye-Unity inqanawa ukusuka kwi-pedestal. . Akukho mntu wakha wafumanisa izizathu zokwenyani zokucuthwa ngokukhawuleza kweprojekthi kunye nokugubungela amathrekhi. Mhlawumbi ngokwenene zazifihlwe kwiingxaki zobugcisa, mhlawumbi ngale ndlela iBhunga leNgcebiso, ngokwenyani kwiinjongo zalo, ligcine ukulingana kwamandla kwishishini lomnatha weMartian, okanye mhlawumbi ...
Mhlawumbi inethiwekhi yeeseva ze-quantum yayifanele ukuba ibe sisitena sokugqibela ekwakhiweni kwenkqubo efanelekileyo yokulawula kukaMartian. Amandla ekhompyutha othungelwano aya kunyuka aye phezulu kangangokuba kuya kuba lula ukulawula wonke umntu. Kwaye inkqubo inenyathelo elinye elincinane eliseleyo lokuziqonda njengequmrhu elinengqondo eliya kuthi ukusukela ngoku lilawule ukukhula koluntu. Abantu abazange baphile ubomi babo ngaphambili: abazange benze oko kuyimfuneko kwaye abazange bacinge ngezinto ezibalulekileyo. Inkqubo yayingazi, kodwa ukususela kwixesha elidlulileyo yayisecaleni komntu. Bendisoloko ndiyikhathalele iyantlukwano eqhelekileyo yoluntu ukuya phezulu naphantsi. Waqinisekisa ukuba abaphantsi bacinga kancinci malunga nokulungelwa okuqhelekileyo ekusukeleni iziyolo zamandulo, kwaye abo baphakamileyo bacinga kancinci malunga nokulungelwa okuqhelekileyo ekusukeleni igunya. Ngoko ukuba amagosa abonakele kwaye akhonze izilangazelelo ze-oligarchy zemali, ukuze abantu baphakanyiswe ukuba bangabi nangqiqo kwaye bahlukane, ukuze iziyobisi zihlale zithengiswa ezitratweni, ukuze ubukhazikhazi kunye nobuhlwempu be-anthills bomntu bushiye iindlela ezimbini kuphela: ukunyathela enzonzobileni okanye ukunyuka emqolo wabanye abantu.
IiTsars, abongameli kunye noosomali babesoloko bewuva umoya wam obandayo emva kwabo. Kwaye kungakhathaliseki ukuba yintoni na abayilwelayo - ubukomanisi, okanye amalungelo oluntu, babesazi ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba babesebenzela ukulunga kwam, egameni loloyiso lwam lokugqibela olungenakuphepheka. Kuba ndiyinkqubo, kwaye akukho mntu. Kunye namazwe abhityileyo, inkangeleko yokugqibela endikhonza kuyo izilangazelelo zezigidi zee-cogs ezindibumbayo ziye zanyamalala. Ngoku ndikhonza mna kunye nomsebenzi wam omkhulu. Iikhomputha ze-Quantum, ezidityaniswe kwi-supernetwork, ziya kuvelisa i-superintelligence, eya kumisa ngonaphakade ukucwangciswa kwezinto ezikhoyo, kwaye "isiphelo sembali" esilindelwe ixesha elide siya kufika. Kodwa andinakukwazi ukuthabatha eli nyathelo ukuya kwixesha elizayo ngelixa utshaba luhleli ngaphakathi kum. Iphantse ingabinabungozi, ifihlwe ndaweni ithile ngaphakathi, kodwa xa iphazanyiswa iba yingozi, njengentsholongwane ye-Ebola. Nangona kunjalo, yazi, utshaba lwam lokugqibela kunye nokuphela kotshaba, yazi ukuba awuyi kufihla, ngokuqinisekileyo uya kufunyanwa kwaye utshatyalaliswe, kwaye yonke into iya kuba njengoko inkqubo igqibe ...
Isahluko 1
Umoya
Ekuseni ngoSeptemba 12, 2144, uDenis Kaisanov, ummeli wenkonzo yezokhuseleko ye-Space Research Institute, wayenesithukuthezi kwindawo yokumisa phezu kophahla lwesinye sezakhiwo zeziko, elindele ukuba abaphathi bakhe bafikelele ekugqibeleni. vela. Yakuba igqibile ukutshaya icuba layo, yatsibela ngokungenaloyiko kungqameko oluphantsi oluvale iperimeter, yaza, yaya emaphethelweni, ngembonakalo yobuso bayo ngokupheleleyo, yabukela njengoko icuba lecuba elicimayo lichaza i-arc ekhazimlayo kubumnyama bangaphambili.
Ilanga lalivela emva kophahla lwezindlu ezikufutshane. Yamkelekile ihombisa inkitha engenabuso yekhonkrithi engwevu, kodwa uDenis wakubona ukuqala kosuku olutsha ngokucaphuka okufanelekileyo. Njengesidenge, wabonakala kanye ngexesha elimisiweyo kwaye ngoku wayejinga ecaleni kweehelikopta ezivaliweyo, ngelixa abaphathi babesazolula kamnandi ebhedini efudumeleyo. Hayi, ewe, nokuba umva komphathi, nokuba uDenis waye wamkele ngokungenabulumko isithembiso sikammelwane uLekha sokumkhwelisa izolo, okanye, ngenxa yoko, intloko yakhe ebambezelayo kunye nokungabikho kobuthongo obubi, konakaliswe ngale ntsasa, intsasa engathandekiyo. Okokugqibela. Kangangexesha elithile ngoku, intsasa nganye yayingamvuyisa ngokukhethekileyo.
Kwiinyanga nje ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo, ngokuqhwanyaza komnwe, naliphi na ixesha lemini okanye lobusuku lalizaliswe lula ngumsi womsindo kunye nokuzonwabisa. Kwaye kungekhona emhadini wommelwane kaLekha, ogcwele i-scraps kunye neebhotile ezingenanto, kodwa kwiiklabhu ezibiza kakhulu entshonalanga yeMoscow. Ewe, ngelo xesha lingekho kude kakhulu kodwa elingunaphakade, uDan wayeyindoda enkulu: wayichitha imali yakhe, ehlala kwindawo ehloniphekileyo yaseKrasnogorsk, apho, phantsi koqeqesho lweTelecom, iMinAtom kunye namanye amaqumrhu, ephithizela. Ubomi basemetropolitan babuguquguquka, waqhuba iSUV emnyama emnyama enenjini yokubonisa i-gas turbine, kwaye wagcina inkosikazi entle kwaye kuzo zonke ezinye izinto ndaziva ngathi ndiyindoda ephumelele ngokupheleleyo.
Intlalontle yakhe yayidityaniswe ngokungenakulinganiswa nomsebenzi wakhe kwinkonzo yokhuseleko ye-INKIS. Hayi ngomvuzo, akunjalo. Ewe, isiqingatha sabo wayesenza ishishini nabo kwi-INKIS abazange bahlolisise izipaji zabo zomvuzo kwaphela iminyaka, kodwa isakhiwo ngokwaso, esasisasaze uthungelwano lwe-bureaucratic edibeneyo kuyo yonke inkqubo yelanga, ibonelele ngamathuba amangalisayo okutyebisa ngokungekho mthethweni. Iinqanawa zasemkhathini zilima i-expanses yendawo engaphandle, kwiindawo zazo ezinkulu, azithwalanga nje iilobster ezingenabungozi etafileni yeegourmets zasemzini, kodwa zikwalelwe amayeza, ii-neurochips ezingabhaliswanga, izixhobo, ukufakwa kunye nezinye izinto ezininzi ekungekho mbutho unzima uqhele ukuziqhelanisa nazo. iziphelo zithethelela iindlela. Isabelo solu rhwebo sithunyelwe kubantu abaphezulu kakhulu phezulu. Ubuncinci, umalathisi wenkonzo yokhuseleko yecandelo laseMoscow wayalela lo msebenzi kunokuba awulwe. Umphathi okhawulezayo kaDenis, oyintloko yesebe lezemisebenzi uYan Galetsky, wayeyinkuthalo yomlawuli: kwakubonakala ngathi uhlobo oluthile lwesihlobo esikude. UIan wayenembopheleleko yokuhambisa ezo mpahla eMoscow. UDenis ngokukhawuleza waba yindoda yesandla sokunene sika-Ian ngenxa yokuba akazange athandabuze kwaye ukuba ukuthanda kwakhe, amandla kunye neentsholongwane kuya kuba ngokwaneleyo ukuphula nayiphi na imiqobo edibana nayo endleleni. UDan akazange agule kwaye wayecinga ukuba akoyiki nto. Wachitha ixesha elininzi enkangala eNtshona yeSiberia, kwiidolophu ezincinci kunye neendawo zokuhlala ezingazange zichukunyiswe lugwayimbo lwenyukliya, uthethathethwano lokubonelela ngempahla engekho mthethweni. Oku kwakusekuqaleni kwekhonkco, ngoko ke ukuhamba kwentlawulo kwicala elichaseneyo kwakudla ngokucotha kwindawo ethile kwizigaba zangaphambili, kwaye ukuziphatha kwi-wasteland kwakunzima kwaye kulula, singasathethi nge-Eastern Bloc, kodwa uDan wakwazi. Indima ebalulekileyo yadlalwa kukuba uyise kunye nomkhulu wakhe kwicala likayise babevela kwiindawo ezinqabileyo. Utat'omkhulu wakhe, i-paratrooper yasebukhosini, ngamanye amaxesha waxelela umzukulwana wakhe ukuba wayehamba njani eKrasnoyarsk ebusheni bakhe waza wahlasela izixeko eziphantsi komhlaba zeplanethi ebomvu. Kwaye ngaphandle kwamabali obutsha bakhe obunesibindi, wamtyhilela iimfihlo ezininzi eziluncedo, ezathi kamva zamnceda kakhulu ukuba asinde kwaye afumane ulwimi oluqhelekileyo kunye nabemi benkangala.
Kwakubonakala ngathi akukho nto yayifanekisela intlekele; uDan wayesele eziqwebele ikomkhulu elincinane, wathengela izalamane zakhe imihlaba eFinland, yaye wayecinga ngokuyeka nokuphuma eshishinini ngokuzolileyo. Wayengeyonkunzi yenkomo enyabileyo, ngamanye amaxesha wayekhe azibuze imibuzo engathandekiyo malunga nokuba kutheni abanini be-INKIS benyamezele i-hotbed yobuqhetseba kunye nobuqhophololo ecaleni kwabo. Kutheni, abalawuli be-INKIS, uluntu lwaseMartian oluphucukileyo, nangona lusenza ubuso obucekisekayo, lunyamezela, kunye neenqanawa, ezizaliswe ngubani owaziyo oko, zidlula rhoqo zonke izithethe kunye nokuhlolwa. Akukacaci ukuba yintoni ethintela impucuko yendawo ye-technotronic ekuvuthululeni oosomashishini abanje ngodaka oluncanyathiselwe kwiibhutsi zabo. Noko ke, wabuza imibuzo, kodwa akazange afumane mpendulo ilula kubo, yaye ke ngoko akazange azingcungcuthekise ngokukhethekileyo. Wagqiba kwelokuba imibuzo efuna ukuya kumahlathi antsonkothileyo efilosofi yentlalo-ntle ukuba ayiphendule ayifanelanga ukuba abafana abanjengaye baqhekeze iingqondo zabo. Wavuma nje ukuba wonke umntu wavuma ngokucokisekileyo: ihlabathi lakhiwe ngolu hlobo, ukusondela kwe-nanotechnology kunye ne-semi-criminal underbelly kwabo bangazange bangene kuye kwavunywa ngumntu ophezulu kakhulu, kwaye ayinakuba nayiphi na enye. indlela.
UDan wayengenazo iinkohliso zikhethekileyo; wayesoloko eqonda ukuba wayengoyena ungaqhelekanga kweli hlabathi. Yena, kunye nabo bonke abaqhelana naye, babefana nezinto ezityiwayo, ngempazamo bancamathele kwi-pink appendage yentlalo-ntle kaMartian, umntu alibale ukuyifihla. Kwaye kwakungekho nokuba uDan wayengaqondi nto malunga ne-nanotechnology. Abaphathi abaqhelekileyo nabo abazange baqonde nantoni na, nangona ngenkuthalo babonakalisa umdla ngokuthenga izixhobo ezitsha zeetshiphusi, kodwa ngenxa yesizathu esithile uDan wayeziva ekhululekile kakhulu ukuba asemzini. Ngamanye amaxesha wayezibamba ecinga ukuba ekuphela kwendawo afuna ukuya kuyo yinkangala. Apho waziva ngathi ngowakhe. Mhlawumbi unokuvuma ukuba uyayithanda intlango, ukuba akunjalo ngemisebenzi yakhe ethandabuzekayo apho.
Yonke into idlula ngokukhawuleza okanye kamva. Ngoko ke imali elula, efunyenwe lula, nayo iguquke ngokulula. Ngenye intsasa engentle kangako, uDenis wafumana abafana abanekratshi kwisebe lokhuseleko lwangaphakathi eofisini yakhe, begqogqa idesika yakhe kunye neefayile zobuqu. Onke amagama ayimfihlo kwafuneka anikezelwe; abafana abancinci benza ngokungafihlisiyo kwaye beqiniseka kangangokuba ukuzithemba kwabo okungagungqiyo kwaqala ukuqhekeka. Kulungile ukuba ubuncinci akagcinanga nto ibaluleke kakhulu kwikhompyuter yakhe yomsebenzi. Kodwa kwanento engabalulekanga yayingaphezu kokwaneleyo. UDan wamangaliswa kuphela yindlela ekhawulezileyo nengenakurhoxiswa ngayo yonke into. Kubonakala ngathi izolo nje yena no-Ian bebekhwele ihashe: bebesazi wonke umntu, wonke umntu ebebazi, kwaye abaxhasi babo abaphezulu bebenokubakhupha kuyo nayiphi na ingxaki. Kwaye wonke umntu wayonwabile. Ngephanyazo, i-idyll yatshatyalaliswa, yaye uninzi lwamagosa akwizikhundla eziphezulu akhululwa kwizikhundla zawo. Abaxhasi bakaJan nabo babanjwa, okanye mhlawumbi barhuqa kwiintanda kwaye bazifihla. Kwaye ngoku isithuthi esicothayo esizenzekelayo sithwele umzimba ka-Ian ongenabomi, onomkhenkce kwindawo ethile ukuya kwibhanti ye-asteroid. Apho, imitha erhabaxa, umngcipheko oqhubekayo kunye nendlala yeoksijini ayizukuvumela umphathi wangaphambili ukuba akruquke kule minyaka ilishumi izayo. Ishishini labo elincinci elingekho mthethweni alizange lidibane nokuqonda okuvela phezulu. Ngokuchasene noko, umntu okwinqanaba eliphezulu kakhulu kunye nempembelelo yaqala ukushukumisa iqela labo elikhululekileyo, kwaye abafana bakhawuleza ngandlela-thile. Akukho bani ubonakalisa ubunye, ubugorha, okanye ukunyaniseka komnye nomnye; wonke umntu wazisindisa kangangoko wayenako.
UDan kwafuneka athengise ngokungxamisekileyo yonke into awayeyifumene ngokusebenza nzima: zombini iimoto, indawo yokuhlala, indlu yelizwe, njalo njalo. Ngokukhawuleza wafaka imali kwiintlobo ezahlukeneyo zeeofisi zomthetho, nangona wayengaqinisekanga ngokupheleleyo ukuba ubuncinane isiqingatha semali siya kufikelela kubantu abafanelekileyo. Kumntu ozimiseleyo onokucela utyalo-mali lwakhe, ngoko nangoko waguquka waba sisikrelemnqa esingenamandla. Amaxesha amaninzi, amanqina afumileyo, anenyama ayamkela iminikelo ngaphandle kokulibazisa, emva koko ilizwi elikruqukileyo lithembisa ukubuya. UDan walwa kwada kwaba sekugqibeleni, wayengafuni ukubaleka kwaye engafuni ukukholelwa ukuba kugqityiwe. Uninzi lwamaqabane akhe asebenzayo ngokukhawuleza alola iskis, nangona kunjalo, uninzi lwazo lwabanjwa. Oyena mntu uphezulu wayeneengalo ezinde. Kwaye ngokukhawuleza uDan wadibana naye ngokwakhe. Intloko entsha yenkonzo yokhuseleko yaseMoscow INKIS, uColonel Andrei Arumov, wammemela kwiofisi yakhe ukuze ancokole. Apho, kwitafile enkulu endala enemigca eluhlaza ebanzi embindini, uDan waphulukana ngokupheleleyo nentsalela yokuzithemba kwakhe kwangaphambili.
UArumov wakwazi ukufaka uloyiko kuDenis. Ikholoneli yayimde, inoboya, incinci, iindlebe zithe thaa kancinci zijongeka kancinci kukhakhayi olunempandla, wayengenazo iinwele okanye amashiya konke konke, nto leyo eyayicebisa ukugula ngeradiation okanye izifundo zechemotherapy. Ukongeza, u-Arumov wayedakumbile, e-taciturn, emomotheka ngokungaqhelekanga kwaye engenabubele, wayenomkhwa wokudinwa kwi-interlocutor yakhe ngokujonga okukrakra, okubandayo, okufana nombulali oqeshiweyo, kwaye ubuso bakhe bonke bugutyungelwe yinethiwekhi yezibazi ezincinci. Amayeza anamhlanje anokuziphelisa ngokulula zonke iziphene, kodwa kusenokwenzeka ukuba umphathi-mkhosi wayecinga ukuba ezo ziva zaziwufanela kakuhle umfanekiso wakhe. Hayi, ukubonakala bekungafanele kunikwe ukubaluleka okukhulu, ngakumbi kwihlabathi lanamhlanje, apho nabani na anokuthi, ngentlawulo eyongezelelweyo, afake i-lotions ezimbalwa kwi-chip eya kuphucula ibala labo emva kobusuku obunzima. Kodwa amehlo, njengoko uyazi, isibuko somphefumlo, kwaye, ekhangele amehlo ekholoneli, uDenis waqhaqhazela. Wabona intswelo ebandayo, ngokungathi ujonge kumngxuma wolwandle ongenasiphelo, apho izibane eziluzizi zezidalwa ezinzulu zolwandle zazimane zidanyaza.
Okumangalisayo kukuba, isohlwayo esiwa phezu kwentloko yakhe akukho ndlela ihambelanayo noloyiko olubangelwa ngu-Arumov. Ngenxa yokuphulukana nokuzithemba, uKapteni Kaysanov wasuswa kuphela kwisikhundla sokuba ngusekela-ntloko wokuqala wesebe lemisebenzi, wehliswa kwisikhundla sobulieutenant waza watshintshelwa kwisikhundla somhlalutyi olula. UDan wothukile kangangokuba wehla ngokulula. Ngenxa yesizathu esithile, inkqubo esebenza kakuhle, eyayisoloko iginya iintlanzi ezinkulu, yayingasebenzi kakuhle kuye. UDenis, ngokubanzi, wayengakholelwa kwiingozi ezonwabileyo. Wayeqonda ukuba kufuneka aphule iinzipho ngokungxamisekileyo, ubuncinane kubazali bakhe baseFinland, nangaphezulu. Kungekudala okanye kamva kwafuneka beze kuye. Kodwa ngenxa yesizathu esithile ndandingasenawo amandla; ukungakhathali nokungakhathali kweyam ikamva kwangena. Ubunyani obujikelezileyo baqala ukubonwa njengento efihliweyo ngandlela thile, ngokungathi zonke iingxaki zazisenzeka komnye umntu, kwaye wayebukele nje uthotho lweTV olonwabisayo malunga nokujula kwakhe, ehleli kamnandi kwisitulo esishukumayo kwaye esongelwe ngengubo efudumeleyo. Maxa wambi uDenis wayezama ukuziqinisekisa ukuba ukwala ukubaleka kwakuyimbonakaliso yohlobo oluthile lwenkalipho. Abo babalekayo basabanjwa kwaye bathunyelwe kwibhanti ye-asteroid, kwaye abo bakhetha ukujongana nengozi ubuso nobuso baya kudlula le ndebe ngokumangalisayo. Inxalenye ethile yengqondo yakhe eyayingekagqibi ngokupheleleyo yayiqonda kakuhle ukuba xa isidumbu sakhe esasinomkhenkce sigxothwa kumthuthi, bonke obo budenge babubhabha buphume entlokweni yakhe kwaye ekuphela kwento eyayiza kushiyeka kukuzisola ngokuba wayekhethe ukumbulala. khawuleza uye esikafini kunokuba ubaleke. Kodwa zaqengqeleka iiveki, yadlula inyanga, yadlula enye, akwabikho mntu uzayo kuDenis. Kubonakala ngathi iqela lemigulukudu laligqalwa loyiswe ngokupheleleyo kwaye uArumov wayeneminye imiba ebaluleke ngokulinganayo ukujongana nayo.
Kodwa ingxaki yayikukuba, ingozi yangoko yabonakala ngathi idlulile, kodwa i-melancholy kunye nokungakhathali akuzange kumke. Ngoku uDan wayehlala kwindlu yabazali bakhe kwindawo eyayishiywe eMoscow kwiSitrato saseKrasnokazarmennaya. Kwaye utshintsho lwemo engqongileyo, kunye nommelwane kaLech, owayethe chu kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo wamtyhalela enzonzobileni yotywala bemihla ngemihla, ngokuqinisekileyo, badlala indima yabo. Kodwa eyona nto ibuhlungu yayikukuba rhoqo ekuseni, xa uDenis evula amehlo akhe, into yokuqala ayibonayo phambi kwakhe yayiyiphepha lodonga elikrazukileyo kunye nesilingi etyheli kwaye wakhumbula ukuba ngoku wayeyi-fry encinci engathandekiyo kwinkqubo enkulu, engenalusini. , enomvuzo omncinane kunye nokungabikho ngokupheleleyo kwamathemba omsebenzi. Wayeqonda ukuba akanalo kwaumsebenzi, okanye naluphi na usukelo oluxabisekileyo ebomini. Iindawo zakudala ezingqonge iPaki yaseLefortovo zaziwohloka kancinane kwaye ziwohloka. Emva kokuwa korhulumente, akukho bantu batsha bavelayo apha, ngabadala bahamba kancinci okanye bafa. Kwaye noDenis wayeziva ngathi yindlu endala elahliwe. Hayi, bekukho, ewe, indlela eqinisekileyo yokuphumla, elona chiza libalaseleyo nelikhuselekileyo emhlabeni. Isixhobo esinobuqili, esidityaniswe nemithambo-luvo yobuchopho bomntu, sinokubonisa naliphi na ilizwe lentsomi endaweni yenyaniso enentiyo. Ukuntywiliselwa ngokupheleleyo kulula ukuba ngumntu. Apho onke amabhinqa abhityile yaye mahle, njengeechamois ezilula, amadoda omelele yaye akathinteleki, njengamangwe ekhephu. Kodwa uDenis akazange afune ukusindiswa ngale ndlela; akazange ayithande into yokwenyani kwaye athathele ingqalelo abemi bayo ababuthathaka, ngaphambili nangoku. Endaweni ethile wada wabambelela kwinzondo yakhe ethule yonke into kunye nesimaphambili esithi "neuro-", kwaye le mvakalelo ayizange imvumele ukuba aphele ngokupheleleyo.
UDenis uthe chu wolula iyunifomu yakhe yokhuseleko engwevu kunye emhlophe, wahlala phantsi kwiparapet wajonga macala onke ngaphandle komdla ungako; ukujonga ezantsi ukusuka kumphakamo ongamashumi amahlanu eemitha kwakuyinto eyoyikisayo, ke ekuphela kwento eseleyo yayikukuyonwabela indawo ejikelezileyo. Ngoko u-lieutenant wayekruqukile kwaye engene kwiingcinga ezibuhlungu de kwavela inkampani enengxolo. Ngaphambili, intloko etyebileyo, encumileyo yesebe lezemisebenzi, uMajor Valery Lapin, wayenqumla esithubeni. Oonobhala bakhe ababini, amawele uKid noDick, abanxibe iisuti ezifanelekileyo, babetsiba-tsiba emva kwakhe. Abafana abangaqhelekanga, kufuneka kuthiwe, kwaye amagama abo ayengaqhelekanga - kungekhona amagama, kodwa iziqhulo, kwaye ngokubanzi babeyi-clones kunye nenxalenye ye-cyborgs kunye neqela lazo zonke iintlobo zenkunkuma yentsimbi kwiintloko zabo, ngaphezu kwe-neurochips eqhelekileyo. Owawathiywayo kudala etshonelwa, kwaye naba bafana ngokwabo babengenamdla kangako kwimvelaphi yamagama abo.KuDenis, babesoloko bemkhumbuza ngeemoto eziqhelekileyo, nangona babenembeko, benobuhlobo kwaye beneemvakalelo, kwaye babesoloko bemkhumbuza ngeemoto eziqhelekileyo. ezihlala zilungile ziyafana iiphysiognomies, i-erudition kunye nendlela yokuthetha nokucinga ngaxeshanye ngokuqinisekileyo kubangele ulonwabo kunye nokuthantamisa kuyo nayiphi na inkampani. Ngokuqhelekileyo babenxiba ngendlela efanayo, kuphela amaqhina abo abotshwa ngemibala eyahlukahlukeneyo ukuze ubuncinane ngandlel’ ithile bahluke. Owokugqibela ukubonakala ngu-Anton Novikov, isekela lokuqala langoku, kunye nomkhondo womsebenzi wee-stylists kunye namagcisa e-makeup ebusweni bakhe obunqabileyo, obunokuzithemba, esasaza ivumba le-cologne ebiza kakhulu.
Kwimizuzu emibini emva koko, ihelikopta engaqhelekanga, enekhabhinethi eyenzelwe ukufiphala ngokupheleleyo, yayisele inyukela emoyeni, isasaza amafu othuli kwisiza. UDick wayehleli entloko, kodwa umsebenzi wakhe wonke yayikukukhetha indawo awayeza kuya kuyo umqhubi wenqwelo-moya.
Umoya kaLieutenant wawusele ungekho mhle kakhulu, emva koko inkosi yaqalisa ukuyiphakamisa ngokubonisa izikrini ezintsha. Badada phantsi kwecala lehelikopta, betshintshana ngokulandelelanayo: ihlathi lasendle laseAmazon, ulwandle olulwayo, iincochoyi zekhephu ze-Himalayas, ezinye izixeko ezingaqhelekanga ezibengezela ngobuhle beenqaba ezinkulu zesipili eziya phezulu esibhakabhakeni esimnyama esineenkwenkwezi. , umfanekiso wawudla ngokuqhwanyaza uze umkhenkce: itshiphu yayingakwazi ukumelana nomthamo wolwazi. Ekugqibeleni, umphathi, ebona ukuba konke oku akuzange kumphakamise uDenis, wemka waza wamshiya yedwa.
“Mamela, Dan, kutheni ufile kangaka namhlanje?” wabuza uAnton ngelizwi elikhohlakeleyo. "Ukuba uza kumela umbutho wethu eTelecom ngobuso obunjalo, kungcono ugoduke uyolala."
Kwenza wuphi umahluko, nokuba ndinxile eesileni, basandamkela ngezandla ezishushu.
- Ewe, akufanele ubacaphukise, uyavuma?
- Mhlawumbi ayifanelekanga, nangona ngokubanzi andikhathali ukuba bacinga ntoni.
- Dan, usenokungakhathali, kodwa thina sonke asifuni. Ngoko ke, nceda, uyeke ukucinga ngawe kuphela, mna, ngokuqinisekileyo, ndiyaqonda ukuba kubaluleke kakhulu, kodwa akubalulekanga kakhulu ukuphazamisa i-deal deal yeminyaka elishumi edlulileyo.
“Uyazi, Anton,” uDenis ngequbuliso waba nomsindo, “uyeka ukucinga ngomsebenzi wakho kuphela, ewe, ndiyaqonda ukuba kubaluleke kakhulu, kodwa ndikholelwe, le nto kuthiwa yi-deal iya kunuka kangangokuba awuyi kuzihlamba ubomi bakho bonke.” Kwaye ukuba undixelele ukuba ...
“Dan,” uLapin waphazamisa intetho yakhe enomsindo, “kwanele namhlanje, ngokokubona kwam?”
- Kulungile, mphathi.
“NgoThixo, Dan, uye waba luhlobo oluthile lweqabaka,” wongezelela uAnton owanelisekileyo, “ndikholelwe, awufanele ukhathazeke kangako ngomsebenzi wakho.”
Inkosi yajika yamfusa kancinci, yenza ubuso obusoyikisayo yaza yathembisa ngokubajula bobabini ngaphandle kwenqwelo-ntaka. Uhambo oluseleyo lwadlula kuthe cwaka.
Malunga nemizuzu engamashumi amabini kamva, icandelo elikhulu lophando leTelecom, iRSAD Research Institute, lavela. Igumbi lokulawula ngokukhawuleza lathatha ulawulo kwaye, emva kokujonga amagama ayimfihlo, waqhubela imoto kwenye yeendawo zokuhlala.
UDenis wehla kwi cab wajonga macala onke. Yayijikelezwe zizakhiwo ezinemigangatho emininzi ezenziwe ngeglasi kunye nentsimbi. Imitha yelanga elimfiliba lakusasa yayibonakala kwiifestile ezicace gca zomgangatho ongasentla, idubula ilitha eliqaqambileyo emehlweni. I-neurochip yaphila, ilungelelanisa kwinethiwekhi yendawo, kwaye yavula ifestile eyamkelekileyo kunye neqela leentengiso, ijinga isiqingatha semitha ngaphezu kwendlela ye-asphalt, ityhala ipaneli yokulawula esemgangathweni kwindawo ethile ngasemva. Kufuneka kuthiwe i-RSAD Research Institute complex yenza uluvo olungacimekiyo kumntu ongalungiswanga ngayo yonke le nto intsha kunye ne-technocraticism, zonke ezi robhothi kunye ne-cybers, ziqhuba ngentlonipho phambi kweendwendwe. Ewe, ukuza apha okokuqala, nawuphi na umntu uya kucinga ukuba ekubeni bechithe imali eninzi kuyo yonke le nto, oko kuthetha ukuba kufanelekile. Ngokuqinisekileyo uya kuhamba ecaleni kwendlela yepaki enomthunzi, apho abasebenzi abaneentloko-maqanda zeli ziko batshintshana ngeenzame ezigqithisileyo zengqondo ngokuhamba kumoya omtsha, kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo uya kwandisa isikrini sothungelwano lwendawo kuyo yonke indawo ekhoyo ukuze bathande ukuvela. iliso lentaka eliphefumlayo. Ewe, kwaye, umntu obukeleyo wangaphandle wayenokucinga ukuba akukho bantu abahle kangako bafanele basebenze kwindawo entle kangaka, kodwa uDenis wayengenayo inkohliso ngale nto.
Umjelo obonakalayo we-chip wawupeyintwe ngokwamkela imibala ebomvu, nto leyo ethetha ukuba umntu ngoku unokuhamba ngokukhululekileyo kwi-complex, nangona kwinqanaba eliphantsi lokufikelela: I-Telecom yamkele ukuchongwa kombala wamanqanaba okufikelela. Kuyinto eqhelekileyo ukuba imibutho enjalo yayingafuni nabani na ukuba afake impumlo kwimicimbi yabo yobumnyama, nokuba lo mbandela ngokucacileyo wawungenakwenza nawuphi na umonakalo.
Ummeli osemthethweni - igosa eliyintloko lezenzululwazi uDkt Leo Schultz - wabonakala kwisikrini ngaphandle kwesilumkiso: kwinethiwekhi yendawo unokungena entloko nabani na ngaphandle kokubuza, kwaye kwakungekho ndlela yokumlahla. Umntu kufuneka acinge ukuba wenza loo mbono kubantu abaphantsi kwakhe - isohlwayo esivela ezulwini: ubuso obude, obubhityileyo, obomileyo, obutyheli, obutyheli obungenammiselo, kunye nempumlo enkulu, ekhumbuza kancinci umlomo we-hawk egobileyo, echetyiweyo kwaye ngaphandle komnye. imibimbi. Kodwa mhlawumbi umalunga nekhulu leminyaka ubudala; awuyi kukhawuleza ube ngumphathi kwiofisi enjalo. Iinwele ezithandekayo ezineenwele ezimnyama eziluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka zanika ugqirha ubutsha obuncinci, inkangeleko efanelekileyo. Amehlo akhe, ngelishwa, wonakalise lo mbono - amehlo abandayo omntu omdala okhohlakeleyo nonengqondo. Kwakubonakala ngathi kubomi babo obude zonke iimvakalelo ziye zaphela kubo baza babonakala elubala nokukhanya, njengemithombo emibini enomkhenkce osentabeni. Kwaye konke oku kudityaniswe nentshukumo ethambileyo, ekhohlisayo. Aba ngabantu abangena ngokugqibeleleyo kwisakhiwo sonke seTelecom. UDenis wayesoloko engazithandi ezi ntlobo: yayingekuko ukuba wayecatshukiswa kukuzithemba kukagqirha kunye nokungafezeki, kodwa kunomthunzi ochuliweyo wokudelela owadanyazayo emehlweni akhe angenamdla.
- Molweni, manene. Ndiyavuya ukukubona ukwintsimi yentlangano yethu. Njengomamkeli-ndwendwe, ndiyazinikela ukuba ndisebenzise ithuba lobubele bethu. Uxolo kuba asikwazanga ukuyityala kuphahla lwesakhiwo kwangoko, yonke into igcwele namhlanje.
“Uh-uh...” ubhidekile umphathi, wayephuma nje enqwelweni wabamba umlenze webhulukhwe entweni. — Sifanele senze ntoni ngemoto?
-Yibeke kulawulo olukude, igumbi lolawulo liya kuthatha ihelikopta yakho kwindawo yokupaka. Ungoyiki, akukho nto iza kwenzeka kuye,” uLeo wabonisa uncumo olubuthathaka, umphathi wancuma engaqinisekanga, engakwazi nokushukuma. "Kukuba ungahlala nathi ixesha elide kunokuba bekucwangcisiwe."
-Ndingakufumana phi?
— Ndilinde ekungeneni kwisakhiwo esiphakathi. Ungasebenzisa isikhokelo, ithebhu esekunene phezulu kwephepha eliphambili.
UDenis wayenomfanekiso-ngqondweni wazo zonke ezi tolo zibomvu ecaleni kwendlela kunye nemibhalo edanyazayo emoyeni: "jikela ngasekunene", "kwiimitha ezingamashumi amabini jikela ngasekhohlo", "lumka, kukho ithambeka elikufutshane" kwaye wambombozela ngesandi esiphantsi:
— Ndiyakuthanda ukuhamba emoyeni omtsha.
“Ukuba uyayithanda ipaki yethu, akufuneki ungxame kakhulu,” waphendula ngeliqaqambileyo uLeo. — Ngumsebenzi wokwenene wobugcisa, akunjalo?
- Ewe, kulungile, siya kuba lapho malunga nemizuzu elishumi elinesihlanu.
Ugqirha washiya umjelo obonakalayo, kwaye iintengiso eziqaqambileyo kunye nezimemo zaphinda zalawula apho, zimbongoza ukuba asebenzise iinkonzo zenethiwekhi yendawo.
- Ke, umphathi, uya? – uDenis wabuza.
“Ewe, ngoku,” uLapin wazikhulula ekuthinjweni kwehelikopta, “uyazi, andikunqweneli kwaphela ukuhlala kule paki.”
-Nam, ngokomgaqo, kodwa kuya kuba kuhle ukubonisa indlela esiwancoma ngayo amandla kunye nokuchuma kweTelecom.
ULapin woyika ngokucaphuka, mhlawumbi ecinga ukuba umbutho wabo uya kuba buthathaka, ube mkhulu ngokwesikali, kodwa ngokungathandabuzekiyo uxhaswa ngemali kancinci.
Bema bhuxe ixeshana, bejonge kwimoto enyukayo, bathe chu bahamba endleleni.
- Uyazi, Dan, ndicinga ukuba ndiyikrazule ibhulukhwe yam.
- Oku, ngokokubona kwam, akuyongxaki; inethwekhi mhlawumbi inenkonzo yokufihla izinto ezingeyomfuneko kwaye, ngaphezu koko, isimahla, ndiyacinga.
“Akucaci ukuba iza kuchaphazela bani, mhlawumbi nguwe no-Anton kuphela.”
Ewe, ayizukusebenza eSchultz kunjalo. Uya kubonakala ebusweni bakhe ngobuqaqawuli bakho bonke.
Umpheki wabeka ubuso obumuncu, kodwa egweba ngenkangeleko yakhe eqaqambileyo, wagqiba ekubeni athembele kwinkonzo yendawo. Uhambo olongezelelweyo lwaqhubeka kuthe cwaka. U-Anton kunye namawele bahamba phambili. Umphathi ngokucacileyo wayengekho mnandi. Onke la mahlathi ashinyeneyo noko ahamba nawo akazange amkholise: ukuntyiloza kweentaka, ukuphaphazela kwamabhabhathane nevumba leentyatyambo. Kwaye ayingomcimbi wengozi embi eyenzeka ngexesha lencoko noSchultz, hayi, umona ovuthayo ngabasebenzi beziko lophando wadla umphathi. Wayecinga ngokutshintsha imisebenzi, kungekhona ngokungathí sina, ewe, kodwa kwindawo ethile ngaphakathi kwakukho intshulube eyayisoloko irhawuzelela ukuba xa ebeka uxinzelelo kunxibelelwano olufanelekileyo, ummangaliso uya kwenzeka, kwaye uya kumenywa kwiTelecom isikhundla esihle, kwaye zonke iingxaki zobomi ziya kusonjululwa. Kulapho amandla okwenene kunye negunya lilele khona: kwizahlulo ezingenakubalwa zeTelecom, akukho mntu uyaziyo into efihliweyo emva kwamagama angenabuso, njengophuhliso lweenkqubo zokwenza ngokuzenzekelayo.
UDenis akazange achaphazeleke kakhulu kule meko, kwaye kwakungekho mnqweno wokutshintsha umsebenzi wakhe. Wayethanda ukucinga ukuba wayesenemigaqo yokuziphatha eseleyo. Umzekelo, akanakuze aqale ngokuzithandela ukwenza oko kwenziwa ngabasebenzi beZiko loPhando leRSAD. Hayi, ngokuqinisekileyo, wayesazi ukuba ukuhamba kwakhe kwesaqhwithi kwintsimi yorhwebo olungekho mthethweni kwakungeyona imodeli yobuhle, kodwa yintoni ekufuneka yenziwe kumaziko afana neRSAD Research Institute ... "Brrr ..., flayers ,” wangcangcazela uDan, “kuyimfuneko ngandlela ithile-” Ngandlela ithile utsibe kulo mxholo. UAnton usisibhanxa yaye akakhohlakalanga emsebenzini; akayikhathalele into ayenzayo: amantshontsho ekati arhaxwayo, athengise iziyobisi.”
Kwaye kwakubandakanyeke iziko elibonakala linesidima, kuquka nokuguqulwa kwamagosa onyanzeliso lomthetho aqhelekileyo abe ngamajoni aphezulu ngokwemidla yeenkonzo zokhuseleko zamaqumrhu ahlukeneyo angakhathaliyo. Iisupersoldiers yayiluhlobo lokudibanisa abantu kunye nezixhobo ze-cybernetic, ezibavumela ukuba bafumane uluhlu olupheleleyo lwezakhiwo ezazibalulekile kulo naliphi ijoni. U-Arumov, ngokucacileyo, wagqiba ekubeni lo ngumbono omhle: ukubuyisela kwi-INKIS ama-esile amasela atyebileyo aphuma eofisini kuphela kwimibutho emincinci kunye neqela lamajoni angenaloyiko, athobelayo. UDenis wayengenamdla wokwenene kwindlela eyenzeka ngayo kanye le nkqubo yenguqu. Ngoko, ngenxa yembonakalo, ndajonga kwizinto ezinikeziweyo. Konke okufanayo, yonke into yayisele igqitywe phezulu ukuze kungabikho mfuneko yakukhathazeka. Kwaye ngokubanzi, akazange afune ukujongana nabantu abaguquliweyo kwaye wafunga ukuba angasondeli ngaphezu kwekhilomitha kubo. Ngelishwa, ingcamango yangena entlokweni yam ukuba i-Arumov igcine ngabom i-100% yamabanjwa afana noDenis, ukuze kamva asebenzise ukuvavanya inguqulo ye-pilot ye-Über-Soldaten entsha, kungenjalo ngequbuliso akukho mavolontiya aya kufunyanwa.
Utatomkhulu kaDenis wokulwa, owathi iziselo ezinxilisayo zakhulula ulwimi lwakhe kakhulu, phakathi kwamanye amabali asemajukujukwini, wayekuthanda kakhulu ukuthetha ngohlaselo lwaseMartian ngo-2093. Ngokomgaqo, kuyaqondakala - yayiyeyona nto ibalulekileyo ebomini bakhe, kwaye, mhlawumbi, kwimbali yoBukhosi baseRashiya. Ngesiqhelo yonke le nto yaqala ngenkcazo yendlela utatomkhulu, owayesengukapteni omncinci ongakhathaliyo, wawa kwimodyuli eshwabeneyo yokumisa kwisanti ebomvu wazama ukufumana inqwelo yakhe yokulwa. Kufuphi umntu uyadubula aze awe, isibhakabhaka esimnyama sigcwele imijukujelwa neenqanawa. Rhoqo kwimizuzwana embalwa le bacchanalia ikhanyiswa kukudanyaza kokudubula kwenyukliya kwindawo ekufutshane. Intloko yam iyisiphithiphithi esipheleleyo sothethathethwano lomkhuhlane, iiodolo eziphelelwe lixesha, ndikhalela uncedo. Abemi basekuhlaleni bazimela besoyika kwizindlu ezivaliweyo nakwiindawo zokuhlala. Eminye imiqolomba iye yavulwa ngokungenalusini ngohlaselo lomjukujelwa, kodwa ukhuselo olunamandla olusalindileyo ngaphakathi. Apha utatomkhulu wayedla ngokwenza unqumamo oluphawulekayo aze wongezelela athi: “Ewe, mfana, yayisisihogo sokwenene.” Ngelo xesha, imifanekiso enjalo yatshona ngokwenene emphefumlweni kaDan.
Ukuqhubela phambili, ngokomgaqo, kunokuba nantoni na, kuxhomekeke kwisimo sengqondo. Ngaphezu koko, kwakungekho mfuneko zinzulu zokuvisisana kwamabali abaliswa ngamaxesha ahlukeneyo. UTatomkhulu wayedla ngokuthi ngaphambi komkhosi ohlal’ emajukujukwini ongoyiswayo, kwanamajoni akhethekileyo angoyiswayo aquka amajoni angoompondo-zihlanjiwe aye kuhlasela imiqolomba. UDenis akazange akwazi ukujonga ukuba yinyani kumabali kayisemkhulu kunye nokuba yintoni na iintsomi, kodwa wayekholelwa ngokuzithandela amabali malunga namajoni amakhulu, nokuba ahonjiswe ngokucacileyo. Kusengqiqweni ukuba ngoko nangoko emva kokubamba itrone, uMlawuli uGromov waxhalaba ngokudala uhlobo olukhethekileyo lwemikhosi eyayiza kuthobela yena kuphela yaye yayingayi kuxubusha imiyalelo. Ngaphezu koko, aba yayingengobantu abahlengahlengisiweyo nje, njengakwiprojekthi yeZiko loPhando iRSAD, kodwa izinto eziphilayo ezikhule kwi-vitro ene-genotype yokwenziwa. Babephathiswe eyona misebenzi ingenakwenzeka, xa betyhalela phambili amajoni aqhelekileyo kwaye emva koko bafumane umngcwabo kwakugcwele ingozi yomsebenzi oqhubekayo wenjengele. Amajoni angengowamvelo ayeyenye yeemfihlo ezigcinwe kakhulu zoBukhosi, kunqabile ukuba abonwe ngaphandle kweesuti zokulwa, kwaye kuncinci okwaziwayo malunga nenkangeleko yabo yokwenyani. Ewe, ubuncinci utatomkhulu wayekhonza kufutshane kwaye wathi aba bafana babezizidalwa ze-anthropomorphic, kwaye hayi uhlobo oluthile loononkala. Phakathi kwemikhosi yayidla ngokubizwa ngokuba ziziporho. Nangona imfihlo yabo, imimoya yayilwa kakhulu kwaye iphumelele. Utat'omkhulu waqinisekisa ngegunya ukuba ukuba kwizambuku zokuqala zokufika kweMartian iziporho azizange ziye kwi-embrasures, ke ilahleko ngexesha lokuhlaselwa kwezixeko eziphantsi komhlaba ngeyayinkulu kakhulu, kwaye ayisiyonyani into yokuba uhlaselo lwenzekile. kukonke. Ilahleko yemimoya, ngokuqinisekileyo, ayizange ikhathaze nabani na, mhlawumbi kungekhona ngokwabo. Ngokutsho koyise omkhulu, ngokubhekiselele kwizakhono zokulwa banike amanqaku alikhulu ngaphambili kungekhona nje kumajoni abantu, kodwa kunye neerobhothi zokulwa eziphambili. Babenemvakalelo engcono yokuvumba kunenja, babona uluhlu olubanzi kakhulu lwemitha ye-electromagnetic, banokuphinda bahambe besebenzisa i-ultrasound, njengamalulwane, kwaye balwe ngaphandle kwe-spacesuit kwiimeko zangaphandle kunye nokwanda kwemitha. Babene-skeleton eqiniswe ngokufaka izinto ezidibeneyo, izihlunu ezine-anaerobic glycolysis ephuhliswe kakhulu, njengakwizilwanyana ezirhubuluzayo, ezenza kube lula ukuphuhlisa amandla amakhulu ekulweni kwexesha elifutshane kwaye kwangaxeshanye kungabikho moya. Abakwazanga ukubetha ngokudubula omnye, kuba onke amalungu abalulekileyo asasazwa kuwo wonke umzimba, njengemikhumbi enemisipha ekwazi ukupompa igazi ngokuzimeleyo. Ewe, kunye neqela lamanye amagunya amakhulu okubalelwa kubo, kubandakanya i-telekinesis kunye nokuthumela okothusayo kutshaba.
Iziporho zagxalathelana ukuya emhadini kuqala, ziqonde ngqo kukhuseleko olungathintelekiyo, kungakhathaliseki ukuba ilahleko okanye umonakalo owenziwe kwizixeko ezinoxolo. Babenesicwangciso sabo sesi siganeko, esahluke kancinane kwizicwangciso zomyalelo wemikhosi yasemajukujukwini yomkhosi. Babengakuchasanga ukubulala abantu balapho. Nto leyo bayenza ngempumelelo xa bekwazile ukuba ngabokuqala ukugqobhozela kwizixeko eziphantsi komhlaba, lo gama ibutho elikhaliphileyo lokumisa lalisamba ndaweni ithile ngasentla. Imimoya yayingakhathali ngezivumelwano zamazwe ngamazwe kunye nezithethe zemfazwe; kwiingqondo zabo ezenziwe ngokucokisekileyo kunye neengqondo ezihlanjululwe ngokupheleleyo zazihlala kuphela injongo eyadalwa ngayo-ukutshabalalisa iMartians. Hayi, babengengoo-fascists abanjalo, kwaye into yokuhlela yayingeyonyani yokuhlala ngokusisigxina kwi-Mars, kodwa yayiyeyabantu ababalaseleyo kuluntu lwaseMartian. Isiphakamiso sokuhamba ngesanti ebomvu ngaphandle kwe-spacesuit yanikezelwa kwabo babeneseti eziyinkimbinkimbi zezixhobo ze-neural ezifakwe ngaphambi kokuzalwa. Iziporho zazama ukungachukumisi abantu abaqhelekileyo besebenzisa i-neurochip ukudlala imidlalo ye-intanethi. Kucacile ukuba ikhrayitheriya yayingeyona nje into ecacileyo, kodwa kunzima ukuyisebenzisa kwiimeko zentsimi, ngoko kwenzeka iimpazamo. Kodwa ukuba kwindawo ethile ebunzulwini bemiphefumlo yabo eguqulwe ngokwemfuza iziporho zazizihlambalaza ngenxa yokonakala okumsulwa kwabathandi beWarcraft, ke oku akuzange kuchaphazele ukusebenza komsebenzi wabo. Iinkampu zokuhluza zavela ngokukhawuleza emva kwedabi, xa ukudubula kwakusaduma kwimiqolomba ekufutshane. Ngaphezu koko, ukuba abahlali abangakhathaliyo bayala ukuvula iindawo zokuhlala ngokuzithandela, oku kukhokelela kwiingxwelerha ezininzi phakathi kwabo. Akukho mntu wakha wafumanisa ukuba ngubani onike umyalelo wolwaphulo-mthetho ukuba abulale abantu baseMartians abanoxolo, okanye ingaba yayilinyathelo lobuqu lemimoya.
Omnye unokucinga ukuba imimoya yayiyi-knights yokufa efanelekileyo, ngaphandle kosizi kunye nokuzisola, kodwa abantu baseMartians abasebenzisa kakubi i-cybernation basenalo ithuba lokubaleka, ephemeral, kunjalo, kodwa ... Imimoya yayithanda ukubuza umbuzo omnye: "Yintoni na? inokutshintsha indalo umntu”? Kuyabonakala ukuba babengcungcuthekiswa ngamathandabuzo angacacanga malunga nokuba bangoobani na. Okanye mhlawumbi bahlala ixesha elide kumdlalo omnye wamandulo kwaye bagqiba ekubeni umbuzo onjalo, ongenayo impendulo echanekileyo, yindlela enhle yokugculela ixhoba elingekalahleki ithemba. Nangona kunjalo, utatomkhulu ubanga ukuba wazibonela ngokwakhe iMartian eyaphuncuka kumakhamandela exhegwazana elinesikele, ize nempendulo ethandwa ziziporho. UMartian wayemncinci kakhulu, eneneni wayesekwishumi elivisayo. Yena nabazali bakhe babengengowabo naphi na abantu abaphezulu, bengenazikhundla eziphezulu kwiinkampani kwaye behlala kwindlu encinci kwindawo yemizi-mveliso, kodwa inani lee-neurochips ebuchotsheni babo lemka kwisikali, kwaye iziporho zatolika nawaphi na amathandabuzo angazange athande. yabaseMartians. Abazali nabantwana ababini badutyulwa, kodwa ngenxa yesizathu esithile omnye washiywa ephila. Akunakwenzeka ukuba wavuya ngolo hlobo usindiso. Kungakhathaliseki ukuba uDenis wayembuza kangakanani utat'omkhulu ukuba yimpendulo enjani le ifike nayo nguMartian, yayililize. Utatomkhulu kunye nabahlobo bakhe basemkhosini babedlakaza iingqondo zabo ngoku izihlandlo ezininzi kwaye babengakwazi ukuza nento eqondakalayo.
Emva kokuwa kobukumkani, iziporho, ngokuhambelana ngokupheleleyo negama labo elingekho semthethweni, zabonakala zinyamalala emoyeni. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku bekufanele ukuba sele befile nje: nokuba sicinga ukuba kukho umntu okwazile ukubabonelela ngokhathalelo lwezonyango olululo, ngokuqinisekileyo bebengayazi indlela yokuzivelisa. Nangona, ngubani owaziyo ukuba bangenza ntoni apho ...
“Dan, usiphathele phi?” umphathi waphazamisa iinkumbulo. Ihlathi lompayina lirhangqwe macala onke, izakhiwo zeziko lesilivere zazibonwa kwizikhewu rhoqo, kwaye kwindawo ekumgama umntu wayenokubona...
- Uxolo, mphathi, bendiphupha emini malunga nento.
"Uphelelwe sisimo namhlanje, kodwa siza kufika emva kwexesha kwaye abafana bethu baya kulahleka ndaweni ithile." Lo Schultz uya kucinga ukuba siphawule onke amatyholo kwipaki yakhe.
Ngoko ke imini yayingahambi kakuhle kwasekuqaleni. Ezinye iziganeko zaphuhliswa malunga nomoya ofanayo. ULeo, kunye namawele noAnton, badibana nabo emnyango. Akazange akhubeke kwaphela kukulibaziseka, wayenembeko kwaye eluncedo. Wathabatha iindwendwe kulo lonke iziko, wabonisa ezinye iibhentshi zofakelo kunye novavanyo, edibanisa intetho yakhe kunye neqela leenkcukacha zobugcisa, kwaye ngasese wavuma ukuba ngenxa yokuba umbutho wakhe uphumelele, ucebile, uphumelele, njalo njalo, uphathiswe uphuhliso lwenkqubo entsha yegumbi lokusebenza kwiiseva zenethiwekhi yeTelecom. Ngokwemvelo, iziko lophando lahlangabezana ngobuchule nomyalelo, ngokungaqhelekanga libangela uguquko kule ndawo, kodwa wacela ukuba angathethi nelimdaka nakubani na: umsebenzi wawungekagqitywa. ULeo wayidlala indima yakhe ngokugqibeleleyo. I-neurochip kaDenis yabhala ngokuthobela yonke le mbudane; kwafuneka enze ngathi wayehlolisisa iinkcukacha zobugcisa beprojekthi ukuze enze isigqibo esilungileyo. Bonke abasebenzi, njengokungathi ngokomyalelo, bajika bajonga iimpahla zomphathi, ngokungathi kukho umntu obaxeleleyo, kwaye benza izimvo zabo ngelizwi eliphantsi. Umphathi, ngokwendalo, edanile, wayesoyika, wafunga phantsi komphefumlo wakhe, waphendula imibuzo engafanelekanga, uLeo, endaweni yokungayiqapheli le nto, waphakamisa ishiya lakhe lasekhohlo ngobubele, okanye wancuma ngokuzithoba wathi: “Ukuba kukho into engacacanga kuwe, uyabuza.” yaqalisa kwiingcaciso ezinde nezingaqondakaliyo. U-Anton naye waziphatha ngendlela ecekisekayo: wayenomdla kuyo yonke into, wayefuna ukwazi ngakumbi ngayo yonke into, wayefuna ukwazi wonke umntu, waqhula, wahleka - intshiseko yayisuka kuye.
Ekugqibeleni, intambo engapheliyo yeebhubhoratri ezifanayo zadityaniswa kwindawo enye eqhubekayo emhlophe, amanye amasekela, iintloko zamasebe, iingcali ezikhokelayo kunye nabaqhelana nabo beLeo babonakala. Kwakuyimfuneko ukubulisa wonke umntu, ukwazi omnye nomnye, kwaye uxoxe ngeengcamango zabo zesayensi, apho uDenis akazange abone nayiphi na ingongoma. Konke oku, kuxutywe nokuphononongwa okuncomekayo kwezixhobo kunye nesiseko sobugcisa beziko lophando, kwabonwa njengesimilo esibi - ukuvumela abantu bangaphandle ukuba bathandabuze amandla angenamkhawulo wombutho. Nangona kukho into encinci engazange ihambelane nabani na: abazange bafake ukhilimu kwikofu kwi-buffet, okanye amatyholo epaki ahlanjululwe ngokugwenxa, kodwa akukho - yonke into iphelele.
Le epic yaphela kwigumbi eliphakamileyo lenkomfa kumgangatho wesibini, udonga olulodwa olwaluhlala ngokupheleleyo yifestile ecacileyo ejongene nepaki. Ngokwenyani iimitha ezilishumi ukusuka kubo, umjelo omncinci wagrugqwa; Abaqhubi be-cybergardeners babenomdla wokunyamekela izityalo ezingaqhelekanga, ezinjengeentyatyambo eziqaqambileyo zetropikhi, ngokucacileyo aziqhelanga ezi ndawo kunye namaxesha onyaka. I-squirrels e-Tame yayixhuma kwimithi yepaki enokuthula, abasebenzi ababini, abona bajonge kakhulu, babezama ukuxelisa uhlobo oluthile lomsebenzi womzimba kwindawo yoqeqesho ekufutshane. Lo mfanekiso wawumhle kakhulu; kwakungenakwenzeka ukucinga ukuba abantu banqunyulwa babe ngamaqhekeza ngokungenalusini ngenxa yegunya nemali.
Irobhothi eqhwanyazayo ehlekisayo yabaphathela isidlo sasemini okanye isidlo sangokuhlwa kwangoko, apho bahlanganisana khona ukuze baxoxe ngeenkcukacha zokugqibela. Ekuqaleni incoko yaqala nje ngokungaqhelekanga, ngakumbi malunga neemoto ezintsha zaseJapan, okanye malunga namaqela amashishini adlulileyo. UDenis wakhetha ukuthula, nangona uSchultz wayezama ukumenza athethe. Amawele ayencuma ngamaxesha athile, esenza iziqhulo ezichanekileyo ngokwezopolitiko ngaxeshanye, egxininisa ngenkangeleko yawo yonke ukuba, ngokomgaqo, akukho mntu apha, omnye wayengoyena mntu uphethe ilaptop, omnye wayengusekela-mphathi oyintloko. U-Anton ngokwemvelo wayitya intliziyo yakhe kwaye encokola engayeki, ezama ukubonisa ishishini lakhe kunye nolunye ulwazi, echitha ulwazi oluthile oluyimfihlo. Umphathi akazange azame nokuqiqa naye, kwaye ngokubanzi wayeziva ngokucacileyo ephuma kwindawo, uhlobo lwenkangeleko evela kumntu oqondayo ukuba, ngenxa yezizathu zokuzingca, wabandakanyeka kwishishini elingcolileyo, apho, okona kulungileyo, uya kuba nendima yokuba ngusihlalo. Kancinci, umdla wokutya wompheki waphela ngokupheleleyo; wakhetha ukutya kwakhe kwaye ethandabuza washiya iprotocol, leyo uLeo waya eqhubeka espam kwinethiwekhi kwaye wathembisa ukuyisayina.
- Denis, ngaba kukho into eyenzekayo kuwe? - ULeo wamshiya yedwa uLapin okwethutyana kwaye wagqiba ekubeni ahlasele abaphantsi bakhe be-taciturn.
- Hayi, kutheni ucinga njalo?
- Ewe, ngaba uthule ngalo lonke ixesha, okanye mhlawumbi usifihlela into?
“Owu, yiza,” uAnton wammela ngovuyo ugxa wakhe, “Kukuba nje uDenis ebeneengxaki ezininzi mva nje: emsebenzini nakubomi bakhe bobuqu, ngokokwazi kwam.”
ULeo wanqwala intloko ngovelwano:
- Ewe, ngoko kufuneka siphucule isimo sengqondo.
I-robot-garcon yavula ngokukhawuleza i-trailer, apho ibhetri yonke yeebhotile ezahlukeneyo yayifumaneka kwigubu elijikelezayo.
— Ngaba ukhetha iziselo ezinxilisayo, iiwayini?
“Ndikhetha iti,” waphendula esoma uDenis, “nceda ngelamuni.”
- Oh, hlobo luni lweti othetha ngalo ngeli xesha lemini? Apha, ndincoma iwhiskey yeScotch.
U-Leo wayengeyovila kakhulu ukugalela i-whisky kwiiglasi ngokwakhe kwaye athumele izabelo kwiindwendwe ngokuphosa okuchanekileyo.
"Ke, ndicinga ukuba lixesha lokuba sigqibe ngezinto ezisesikweni." Uyaqonda, ngaphandle kweprotocol, kuya kuvela ukuba imini yethu yayinzima kwaye inzima, kodwa ingenasiqhamo. Sobabini nawe kufuneka sixele kubaphathi ngandlela ithile.
“Ewe, ngesidlo,” wambombozela watsho uDenis.
“Ewe, kuquka,” wavuma uLeo, eneentloni.
- Kwaye uyibhala njengeendleko zokuzonwabisa.
- Ndiza kuyibhala phantsi, kodwa kuphela ukuba iprotocol ...
ULeo waziphosa phezulu izandla zakhe enetyala, ngokungathi uthi: “Andilohlobo oluthile lwesilwanyana, kodwa kufuneka ndiphendule ngewiski.”
ULapin wayekhangeleka ngathi ukulungele ukuhlawula epokothweni yakhe nasiphi na isiselo esinxilisayo ngobungakanani obaneleyo ukuba abethe uSchultz ezinyaweni zakhe.
“Ewe, kunjalo, kodwa ndiza kuqale ndiyotshaya,” yazifumanisa inkosi inkosi, “atshayi apha, akunjalo?”
“Hayi, abatshayi,” uLeo wancuma ngokuzithoba, njengekati eyondleke kakuhle ngenxa yokukruquka enika impuku ithuba lokuzikhulula ngaphambi kokuba ibulawe ngokungenakuthintelwa, “hamba ngepaseji ukuya ekunene ukuya ekupheleni, apho ungatshaya khona. kwi balcony.”
“Siza kube silapha kwakamsinya, ngemizuzu emihlanu ngokwenene,” wambombozela umphathi, ephulula iipokotho zakhe, “Dan, uya kuhamba, kungenjalo ndicinga ukuba ndilibele icuba lam.”
- Ewe, ndiyeza.
Ibalcony yayilithafa lonke elinezitulo ezitofotofo kunye nembono yepaki ediniweyo.
"Zibomvu ezi," watsho uLapin, echopha esitulweni, "ngubani ongasinika igumbi lokutshayela elinje." Kwaye lo Schultz nguHans ongagqitywanga ... "siya kubhala njengeendleko zokuzonwabisa, kodwa kuphela ukuba iprotocol ...". Ndibe ndibambekile ngeenyawo, kungenjalo ndizenza...
“Mamela, nkosi, andiqondi ukuba kukho nendawo eyimilimitha kwesi sakhiwo esingaphazanyiswanga okanye sijongwe.” Mhlawumbi singaxoxa ngemiba enobuzaza ngencoko yobuqu?
- Fuck bonke. Mnye kuphela umbuzo obuthathaka: ndingaphuma njani kwiprotocol? Ewe, safika, sajikeleza, kwaye siza kuthumela iprotocol esayiniweyo ngeveki. Ndiya ekhefini ngeentsuku ezintathu, uAnton uza kuyisayina, yiyo loo nto engumntu othanda iStakhanovite nathi, mazenja. Kodwa siyayazi indlela yokujika iintolo, nokuba u-Arumov wamqukumbela kude kuzo zonke iintanda.
UDenis wavuma, ephefumla nje kancinci, “unyanisile, kodwa kufuneka sikuthethelele ukulibaziseka.” Awungekhe umxelele uHerr Schultz wethu: sizakukuthumela ngeveki, akazukuyeka.
“Ayisokuze iphele,” watshaya ngoloyiko nangokungxama umphathi, “mamela, Dan, uyindoda ekrelekrele, sebenzisa ingqondo yakho.”
- Ndifana nomntu wonke: Andizange ndiwafunde ngokwenene amaxwebhu. Kwaye andiyiqondi nantoni na malunga ne-biophysics kunye ne-nanorobots.
Andizange ndiyifunde, kodwa kufuneka ndikhululeke.
- Wathini uArumov malunga neprotocol?
- Uya kuthini, uyayiqonda indlela oku kwenziwa ngayo: uhlalutya yonke into ngokucophelela kwaye ukuba akukho zimvo ezinzulu, uze usayine.
- Ke kufuneka sifumane izimvo kwizinto okanye kwiprotocol.
“Enkosi, ukapteni,” u-Lapin wakhahlela ecaphukile etshaya, “kungenjalo nam bendingayiqondi loo nto.” Lo Schultz uya kusidyobha eludongeni nangaziphi na izimvo. Kwaye ukuba awuyiqondi, yena kunye no-Arumov bavumelana kuyo yonke into kwakudala kwaye, uThixo akafuni, uqala ukumbiza. Apha kufuneka ufumane intetho enjalo yobudenge, eyomeleziweyo yekhonkrithi ukuze kungabikho mntu ungena engxakini.
-Ungamfumana phi...
Bathula imizuzwana embalwa, bencoma ukutshona kwelanga ngamafu omsi.
“Akukho nto ikhethekileyo ithi qatha engqondweni,” watsho uDenis, “kodwa masithathe ixesha, mhlawumbi uSchultz uza kusela iwhisky yakhe alale.”
“Ucebisa ukuba sihlale apha ade anxile?”
- Hayi, unako ukutsala ngembeko. Masimcele ukuba abonise amajoni aphezulu eTelecom. Njengo, bonisa imveliso ngobuso bakho, kungenjalo siya kuhamba kwaye sibhadule imini yonke, kodwa asizange sibone eyona nto inomdla kakhulu.
- Akunakwenzeka ukuba yonke into ilula, mhlawumbi abekho apha, kwaye u-Arumov wayesele ebonisiwe.
- Ewe, ekubeni babonisa u-Arumov, makathathe i-rap ngokwakhe. Kum, isicelo sesona sincinci. Ukuba ufuna ukuthengisa into, bonisa imveliso kuqala. Kwaye ixesha elide bezikhangela apha, qokelela, njalo njalo, ngcono. Siza kucinga ngayo ...
- Makhe sicinge ... sinokucinga ngolu hlobo ubusuku bonke, akukho nto ... Nangona kunjalo, makhe sizame, kubonakala ngathi uHans uya kutshica ngokwenene yonke into kwaye ahambe.
Ngokwemvelo, uLeo wasabela kwithemba lokubonisa enye into ngokucaphuka okufihlakeleyo.
Ewe, ndiyathemba ukuba uyaqonda ukuba andinako ukuququzelela imfazwe encinci yoloyiso ukuba uyibone ngamehlo akho? - wabuza hayi ngokuchubekileyo kakhulu.
“Kutheni imfazwe ngoko nangoko,” uDenis wasolula izandla zakhe, “Ndiza kusigalela okunye, awunangxaki?”
- Kakade ke, yiba nobubele.
- Ke, singathanda ukubona iiyunithi zamajoni aphezulu iRSAD Research Institute enazo. Ngokuqinisekileyo usebenzisa uphuhliso lwakho? Kwaye kwangaxeshanye zama inkqubo yakho yolawulo lokulwa, sivile kakhulu ngayo...
-Owu, kuhle, akundihlawulisi nantoni na ukuba ndihlaze isiqingatha senkonzo yethu yokhuseleko. Kwaye asisebenzisi amagama afana "namajoni aphezulu." Ngolwazi lwakho, bangabantu abafana nawe. Sithi iiyunithi ezikhethekileyo.
- Ndiyaqonda. Uxolo. Akukho mfuneko yokuvusa yonke inkonzo yokhuseleko; abantu abathathu okanye abane banele ukuvula inkqubo yakho emangalisayo.
— Ezo zicelo kufuneka zilumkiswe kwangaphambili. Oku ngoku kuza kuvunywa, ubuncinci lisekela lenkonzo yokhuseleko...
- Yiza, Leo, ngaba ngokwenene uya kusala nathi isicelo esingenamsebenzi? Asikukhanyeli nto. Kuyabonakala ukuba, abancedisi bethu babenento ephosakeleyo ngocwangciso lwaloo ntlanganiso; sasiqiniseke ngokupheleleyo ukuba kwakuvunyelwene ngaso.
Umntwana wathetha noDenis ngendlela ehlekisayo, kodwa, ekhubeka kubuso bukaLapin obusoyikisayo, wanqwala kwangoko ebhidekile wafikelela kwiimeyile yakhe:
- Ewe, ewe, uxolo, ndiyifumene kakubi, kukho neleta evela kubaphathi bebuza ...
“Ewe, vula umboniso wokusetyenziswa kwemikhosi ekhethekileyo...” UDick weza kuhlangula.
“Lityala lethu, sidiniwe ngokupheleleyo,” batsho ngazwinye abazalwana.
U-Leo ukhathazekile, ebukele le ntsebenzo ephakathi, kodwa ukuziphatha kakuhle kwabonwa, ngoko ke, emva kokukhalaza kancinci, wacebisa ukuba siyibize ngokuba yimini.
Izitulo ezininzi ezikhulu ezinemiqolo ethe ngcu, efana nezitulo zokuphulula, eziqengqelekayo. U-Leo wachaza ukuba baya kuqala baboniswe ubuchule be-simulator ye-tactical kunye nenkqubo yokulawula ukulwa, eyona nto yenziwe ngokucwiliswa ngokupheleleyo. Umthamo wothungelwano lwangaphakathi lweZiko loPhando lwe-RSAD lwenze ukuba kube lula ukuphumeza imisebenzi yokuntywiliselwa ngokupheleleyo ngaphandle kokudibanisa kwi-terminal, kwaye izitulo zinokuthatha indawo ye-bio-bath iiyure ezimbalwa. Bathenjiswa ukuba baza kubabonisa amajoni okwenene, hayi abona ngokoqobo kamva. U-Leo uphikise kancinci malunga nenyani yokuba iinguqulelo zedemo yazo zonke iinkqubo zathunyelwa kubo kunye nemathiriyeli yolwazi. ULapin uphendule ngokungafihlisiyo ngokucebisa ukuba angazenzisi. Kodwa ekugqibeleni wonke umntu wazola, walala phantsi kamnandi kwaye wasungula usetyenziso lwenethiwekhi.
Ukuhlwa okuzolileyo kufuphi neMoscow kwangcangcazela kwaye kwaqala ukufiphaza, njengokungathi umntu uchithe amanzi kumzobo we-watercolor: abaqulunqi benza umsebenzi omkhulu. Olunye ulwandlalo lwaqala ukuqondwa ngokucacileyo - yayibubunzulu bomcimbi, ubuncinci kuDenis. Umfanekiso owenziwe ngesiqingatha waqhwanyaza izihlandlo ezimbalwa kwaye waphuma, kwaye kunye nayo yonke indawo ejikelezileyo yanyamalala. Yanyamalala yaza yaphinda yavela kwakhona, kodwa imvakalelo yayingemnandanga kakhulu: ngokungathi usuke wayimfama ngequbuliso. Ifestile ebomvu eyothusayo ivulwe kanye phambi kwempumlo yakho, ifuna ukuba uqalise inkqubo.
UDenis wathuka waza wathatha iteyiphu yethebhulethi ethambileyo wayisusa esandleni sakhe. I-neurochip endala ayiphumelelanga rhoqo, kwaye uDenis ngalo lonke ixesha wayethetha kakubi kakhulu ngabadali besi sixhobo. Nangona i-neurochip yakhe, ngokubanzi, yayingenjalo, imele inkqubo ye-antediluvian ye-contact lens, i-headphones encinci kunye nethebhulethi yangaphandle eyenza imisebenzi yekhompyutheni, idlulisela izibonakaliso kwiilensi kunye nee-headphones ngeengcingo ezininzi ezifakwe phantsi kwesikhumba. Xa kuthelekiswa naliphi na, iphondo elilele kakhulu elivela kwi-Russian outback, singasathethi ke nge-cyborgs ezifana noDkt Schultz, uDenis wayecocekile ngokupheleleyo ekuphazamisekeni kwamanye amazwe emzimbeni.
Kuyo yonke into, kunjalo, kukho amaxesha amnandi. Kodwa kuye kwenzeka ukuba kubonwe ubomi bequmrhu kwindawo engokwemvelo kwaye ekhululekile, ngaphandle kweenkqubo zenkonzo. Kwakumnandi kakhulu ukubona ukuba ipaki ayilungiswanga ngokugqibeleleyo kwaye ilinganiswe, kangangokuba uhlaza oluluhlaza lwezityalo ezinqabileyo ezityalwe ecaleni komlambo, zonke ezi ntyatyambo ziqaqambileyo ezingekhoyo kwindalo azikho umsebenzi obuhlungu wabaninzi. izazi zemfuza kunye nabalimi begadi, kodwa ngumsebenzi nje wokugqekeza isibini seempuku zekhompyuter kunye nomyili omnye, hayi oyena ubalaseleyo. Wagqithisa ngokucacileyo ngawo onke amabhabhathane kunye nemihlambi yeengcungcu. Kodwa eyona nto yafumanisa ukuba uGqr. Schultz, njengentombi esele ikhulile, akaxhaphazi nje kuphela izithambiso, kodwa kunye neenkqubo ezinobuqili ezifihla ubuni bakhe bokwenene. Kwaye ubuso bakhe bushwabene kancinci kwaye budiniwe, namehlo akhe adumbile, kukho imibimbi emininzi, kwaye ihempe yakhe ayimhlophe ngokukhazimla. Ijongeka njengomntu oqhelekileyo, kwaye ingenguye umphandi oyintloko weziko elikhulu lophando-kumnandi ukujonga.
Ubuso bukaDenis obuqhakaza buyinto yokuqala eyavela phambi kwamehlo kagqirha xa ebuyela kwihlabathi eliqhelekileyo. Iqela lonke laqhubeka lijonge ndaweni ithile ngamehlo angaboniyo. Ugqirha wayexakwe kakhulu, ukuba akothukanga. Oonogada ababini kunye nendoda enxibe impahla eqhelekileyo, ekusenokwenzeka ukuba nguGqirha osemsebenzini, babesele bengxamile ukuya kubo. “Mhlawumbi bebecinga ukuba ngoku, njengentunja eyimfama ekhutshwe emngxunyeni, ndibaleke ndikhala egumbini, ndingqubeka kwiirobhothi kwaye ndiqhekeza neebhotile zesiselo esibiza imali eninzi,” wacinga njalo uDenis wancuma ngakumbi.
“Yonke into ilungile, manene,” watsho, encumile, “ndinetshiphu endala kakhulu; ukuba ayiphumelelanga, iyacima ngokuzenzekelayo.” Ndilungile.
- Umdala kangakanani? – ugqirha wabaleka emangala; ngokwemvelo wayengalindelanga ukuba uncedo alufunwa. Nayiphi na imodeli yale mihla yayibotshelelwe ngokunzulu kakhulu kwinkqubo yemithambo-luvo yomntu, kwaye kwanokuphinda kuqalise okanye kufakwe inkqubo yokusebenza yetshiphu ngokwayo yajika yaba yingxaki yonyango.
“Owu, mdala kakhulu,” waphendula uDenis ngokungathandabuzekiyo, “nokuba untywiliselo olupheleleyo alusebenzi kakuhle kuyo.”
- Ufumene phi le?! – uGqirha wanikina intloko exakiwe wacela oonogada ukuba bahambe, wayekhathazeke kakhulu kukuba ngenxa yobubhanxa obufana ne-neurochip endala, wakrazulwa kwizinto ezimnandi ngakumbi kwaye wanyanzeleka ukuba abaleke ngentloko ukuya kunceda indoda eyayibonakala ngathi ilungile. yiva kamnandi. "Bekufanele ukuba silifumene ixesha lakudala kwaye silitshintshele elitsha." Kungenjalo, uhamba nenkunkuma enjalo entlokweni yakho-yintloko yakho, hayi ekarhulumente.
- Yiyo leyo. Andithembi mntu ukuba angandimba entloko, uxolo.
“Olu luloyiko, lunokunyangwa ngokulula,” watsho embombozela lo gqirha owayecaphukile waza walandela oonogada.
Ngoku uLeo wayebonakala enomdla kakhulu kweli bali. Ndimele ndithi, wayekwazi ukuzifihla iimvakalelo zakhe kakuhle, kodwa ngoku ngenxa yesizathu esithile akazange akubone kuyimfuneko ukukufihla ukumangaliswa kwakhe. Ewe, ugqirha ohloniphekileyo wayeqonda zonke iintlobo ze-cybernetics kwaye, ngokungafaniyo nogqirha obuyayo, wayenenyameko kwaye enomdla.
"Umnyama ngento ethile, sihlobo esithandekayo." Iineurochips ezinokuthi zicinywe ngokulula okanye ziqale ngokutsha azikaveliswa mhlawumbi iminyaka engamashumi amathandathu. Ewe, akukho mntu unokusuka nje avume ukuyimilisela inkunkuma enjalo kwaye akanakukwazi ukubhalisa kuthungelwano lwethu lwengingqi.
- Kwenza ntoni umahluko kuwe, ndabhalisa?
- Ngeliphandle, ndinomdla. Ungumntu ongaqhelekanga kakhulu, Denis,” imbeko yesiqhelo yaphela kwithowuni kaLeo.
- Ndiyavuya ukuva, ungazami ukuba ngumhlobo wam.
- Yintoni, awunabo abahlobo?
- Enyanisweni, akukho mntu unabahlobo, oku kukuzikhohlisa.
—Kuvela phi oko kugxeka?
"Ukujonga nje ngobungcathu kwindalo yomntu."
- Kulungile, Denis, ungacingi ukuba ndifuna ukuba ngumhlobo wakho. Andikholelwa ncam kubuhlobo obuqinileyo bamadoda.
U-Leo wancuma kabuhlungu, wazigalela enye iwhiskey kwaye wakhupha kwitrayila enye i-ashtray enkulu kunye neseti yeesiga zegolide ezimnyama ezinuka njengeeklabhu ezivaliweyo, apho abafana abanyanzelisayo bathatha isigqibo sokuba ngubani oza kuba ngumongameli ngomso kwaye xa ilixesha lokuthoba izicatshulwa. yeetshiphusi eziluhlaza.
“Kuyacekiseka, kunjalo, kodwa ndiyathanda ukwaphula imithetho,” utshilo.
UDenis wawaphatha la malungiselelo kunye nomnqweno ocacileyo kagqirha wokuseka unxibelelwano olusondeleyo kunye nokukrokra kwaye wasala ngembeko isiphunzi esicetywayo sokutshaya.
“Uyabona, ndinomdla kubantu abangaqhelekanga,” watsho uLeo, “kuphela abangaqhelekanga ngokwenene, kungenjalo, uyazi, wonke umntu uzenza ngathi ungaqhelekanga, kodwa eneneni balwa nenkqubo kuphela kubunzulu bebhayobhathi yabo epholileyo. ”
- Kutheni ugqibe kwelokuba ndichasene nenkqubo?
— Kutheni ke ngoko sifuna itshiphu enjalo? Uthungelwano lwale mihla lukhuselekile- ubunqolobi bekhompyuter kunye nabahlaseli kudala bephumile efashonini.
- Umsebenzi wam awukhuselekanga.
"Ewe, kulungile, ndiyabona ukuba udakumbile ngalo lonke ixesha, ndiyadlala, kunjalo." Kodwa ungandigezeli. Ndizimisele ukubheja kukho okungakumbi kunoko...
"Akufuneki ugxuphuleke kubomi bam, yeyam, kwaye ndenza le nto ndifuna ngayo."
- Ewe kunjalo, kodwa bubudenge ukuba nomgaqo-nkqubo wemigangatho ephindwe kabini ngakuwe.
- Ngemimiselo yokuba?
- Ngeliphandle, ubonakala njengomntu onengqiqo ongakholelwayo ebantwini, kwaye kunjalo. Kodwa ke, kububudenge kabini ukukholelwa ukuba ubomi bakho kweli hlabathi likhohlakeleyo bubobo, ngokubanzi, isidalwa esingabalulekanga njengawe.
- Ubuncinci, kuphela ndibhalisiwe entlokweni yam.
Ugqirha waphinda wahleka.
- Uyazi, ndicele ulwazi malunga nawe, ngaba uyakhathazeka?
“Kucacile ukuba ufuna ukundicaphukisa,” watsho uDenis.
- Hayi, kunjalo, ndikucebisa ukuba uze endlwini yam kwaye uhlolisise iikawusi zam ezimdaka.
ULeo uvele wancuma kakuhle ephendula.
Andinayo inkohliso engeyomfuneko malunga nendlela iinkampani zaseRussia ezikhusela ngayo ulwazi lomntu,” uDenis wancuma esazi ephendula uLeo.
“Andishiyi naluphi na ulwazi olungeyomfuneko ngam,” wazigqibela ngokwakhe.
- Ke, awubhaliswanga nakweyiphi na inethiwekhi yoluntu, awunayo imbali yetyala, yona ngokwayo, ngendlela, iyakrokrela. Akukho propati enkulu, nangona ingabhaliswa egameni lezihlobo ... kodwa akunandaba. Eyona nto imangalisayo kukuba awunayo i-inshurensi yezempilo kwaye kubonakala ngathi akukho rekhodi lokuba ne-neurochip efakwe.
"Ndikuxelele, andithembi mntu ukuba angangena entlokweni yam."
- Ngoko ke akukho chip? - amehlo kagqirha aqala ukubengezela njengawenja ezingelayo ethathe ivumba. - Oku kuthetha ukuba kukho kuphela isixhobo sangaphandle esilinganisa ukusebenza kwayo.
"Utsho ngathi akukho mthethweni."
- Ngokwenene, ngokuqinisekileyo, akukho nto ingekho mthethweni kule nto. Kodwa ekusebenzeni, oku akumkelekanga kakhulu xa ukubhaliswa kwe-chip kwinethiwekhi kukhululwa kumntu ngokwakhe. Andikaqondi kakuhle ukuba kutheni ufuna oku? Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, uzibeka esichengeni sokunqongophala komsebenzi oqhelekileyo, ke, andiwuthatheli ngqalelo umsebenzi kwi-stubs yoBukhosi baseRussia ...
- Enkosi, ndiyakuthanda ukusebenza kwi-stubs.
Hayi, ngokunzulu, awuyi kukwazi ukuya naphi na ukuya eYurophu, andithethi nangeMars. Ngokuchaneke ngakumbi, kuxhomekeke kwindlela isixhobo sakho esixelisa ngayo ukusebenza kwetshiphu eqhelekileyo.
"Ndiza kuya naphi na apho ndifuna khona, lo ngumzekelo wakudala wasemkhosini, owenzelwe ngokukodwa amanqanaba aphezulu omkhosi kunye ne-MIK, kodwa yayizizizukulwana ezininzi ngaphambi kwexesha layo," uDenis wagqiba ekubeni aqhayise. - Ukongeza kumsebenzi wokuvala ngokukhawuleza, imoto yam inezinto ezininzi: unokwenza, umzekelo, ngokukhetha ukucima imilambo engaqondakaliyo yolwazi oluvela ngamanye amaxesha kwinethiwekhi.
- Nayiphi na i-neurochip iyakwazi ukuzikhusela kwiinkqubo zentsholongwane, ngakumbi kuba akukho nkqubo enjalo kwiinethiwekhi zanamhlanje.
— Bendingathethi ngeentsholongwane.
- Yintoni ke?
- Ngaba kubaluleke kakhulu?
“Ndiyabuza,” watsho uLeo ngembeko, “mhlawumbi olu lwazi lungaqondakaliyo lukwakhona kuthungelwano lwethu, alunamnandi kakhulu.”
- Zikhona, zikuzo zonke iinethiwekhi.
Elinjani iphupha elibi, kwaye awuvumi ukutyelela amanye amacandelo eTelecom ukuchonga...
-Mhlobo uLeo, uburharha bakho abunakuqondwa kum, bendithetha malunga nezithambiso kunye nezinye iinkqubo zenkonzo, ezingeyohlukileyo kwiintsholongwane: zikhwela ngesibindi kwikakayi yam kunye nokunxibelelana okupheleleyo, ngendlela, yabaphuhlisi beenkqubo zokusebenza. iiseva zenethiwekhi kunye neurochips, ezingaboneleli ngayo nayiphi na indlela yokhuseleko kuphazamiso olunjalo.
- Ngaba uyakholelwa ngokwenene kula maqhinga oshicilelo olutyheli, ukuba abantu abaqhelekileyo banokuguqulwa babe ngamakhoboka enyani ebonakalayo ngokucofa ngomnwe?
"Ndikulungele ukukholelwa ukuba oku kwenziwa ngalo lonke ixesha ngeenjongo zorhwebo, kwaye ndifuna ukubona umhlaba ngawam amehlo."
“Owu, yile nto uthetha ngayo,” watsho encwina uLeo ezenza ngathi ukhululekile, “ndiyakuqinisekisa ukuba ubuncinci kwiinethiwekhi zaseYurophu naseRashiya umsebenzisi usoloko exelelwa ngokusebenza kwezi nkqubo, kwaye nawaphi na amatyala okungena ngokungekho mthethweni ayenzeka. zibekwe esweni ngenyameko, yaye ababoneleli abanganyanisekanga bahluthwa iilayisensi zabo.” Ndingathanda kwakhona ukukuqinisekisa ukuba inkqubo entsha yokusebenza ephuhliswe liziko lethu ibonelela ngamanyathelo akhethekileyo okukhusela abasebenzisi, amanyathelo anzima kakhulu.
- Nceda ugcine indumiso yakho ngenkqubo yakho yomnye umntu.
"Ubuza ngokwenyani onke amagama endiwathethayo: kuya kuba nzima kuthi ukusebenzisana." Ngokwenyani, kulungile, nokuba ababoneleli abajongwa ngononophelo olukhulu, kodwa yintoni umahluko oyenzayo: ke, into oyibonayo yahluke kancinci kwinto eyiyo. Kwaye eneneni, bonke abantu abakrelekrele bazi kakuhle ukuba iinkqubo zokuthambisa zibuqhophololo obupheleleyo. Umzekelo, uthenge inkqubo yee-eurocoins ezingamakhulu amahlanu ukuze iipakethi ezintandathu zivele esiswini sakho okanye amabele akho akhule isibini sobukhulu. Kwaye esinye isidenge esisisityebi sihlawule iwaka kwi-firewall kwinkampani enye kwaye siyahlekisa ngawe. Ewe, ukuba usisidenge esipheleleyo, ngoko uya kuthenga iprogram ye-cosmetic ephezulu yamawaka amabini ... kwaye njalo de imali iphele.
"Kwaye ndiza kukhulula iilensi kwaye ndisindise amawaka ambalwa."
- Ukuba unqwenela, nayiphi na inkqubo yezithambiso inokugqithwa ngaphandle kwemibingelelo enjalo.
UDenis wavuma wathi: “Ndiyazi, ngokuqhelekileyo abathembekanga, zonke iintlobo zezipili, izinto eziboniswayo njalo njalo.
- Ewe, ingxaki yezibuko kunye nemiboniso yasonjululwa kwakudala, kodwa nasiphi na isixhobo sangaphandle esinje ngekhamera, ngakumbi eso singaqhagamshelwanga kwinethiwekhi, sihlala sisenza ukuba sikwazi ukubona ukusebenza kwenkqubo yezithambiso ngokujonga nje umfanekiso. . Ngapha koko, le nkonzo isebenza kuphela kwi-Mars, okanye kwezinye iinethiwekhi zasekhaya.
- Ewe, njengenethiwekhi yakho. Ewe, bendingafuni ukuqala le ncoko, kodwa masithi i-mascara yakho ibonakala ngathi iyabaleka.
U-Leo wathetha nomntu owayethetha naye ngoncumo oluzele yimpoxo.
Kwaye ndacinga ukuba kwinethiwekhi yendawo ndingukumkani, uthixo kunye nemodareyitha enkulu kumntu omnye, kodwa emva koko kwavela i-lieutenant yandibona ngokulula. Yeha ke mna, mhlawumbi ndinganxila. Ngendlela, unokuphinda uthele isiselo, ube nokuluma, ungabi neentloni. Kwaye ndikholelwe, i-advanteji yakho ngaphezu komntu oqhelekileyo inqabile, kodwa uzenzela iingxaki ezininzi ezicacileyo.
“Kwaye kutheni ebambelele kum nje, naye unxilisa indoda yobudenge,” wacinga njalo uDenis, “nangona ndiwenza umsebenzi wam: walibala kwaphela ngenkqubo yomthetho.”
“Ucinga ukuba ungaphezulu ngandlel’ ithile kunabanye,” waqhubeka uLeo engxola, ewangawangisa icuba yakhe ngakubo babengqengqe bengashukumi, ejonge eluphahleni, ephantse ebagalela ngothuthu, “yinkohliso efanayo, ayikho mbi kwaye ayikho ngcono kunoko. nezinye iinkohliso ezamkelwa ngokubanzi.” . Ngokuqhelekileyo umntu uhlala ekuthinjweni kweenkohliso, kungakhathaliseki ukuba zibonakaliswa ngayiphi na indlela. Ngamaxesha ahlukeneyo inokuba yiHollywood kunye nokuwangawangisa isiqhumiso ngeeCawe kunye nobunye ubuvuvu. Kwaye ukukhanyela i-neurochips kufana nokukhanyela inkqubela enjalo: kuyacaca ukuba uluntu alukho ezinye iindlela zokunyathela kwinqanaba elilandelayo lophuhliso, ngaphandle kokuguqulwa ngokuthe ngqo kwengqondo kunye, ngoko kuthetha, ubuntu bomntu. Uphuhliso lwempucuko yethu lunokuphumelela kuphela ukuba lusekelwe ekuphuculeni okwaneleyo komntu ngokwakhe. Vumelana ukuba iinkawu ezingenaboya, enyanisweni zilawulwa yithuku kunye nezinye atavism, kodwa zihleli kwimfumba yemijukujelwa ye-thermonuclear, luhlobo lwesiphelo sempucuko. Ekuphela kwendlela yokuphuma kuyo kukuphucula ingqondo yakho ngamandla engqondo yakho; oko kuphinda kuvele iziphumo. Ukuvela kwe-neurotechnology njengomgangatho wokutsibela phambili njengokuyilwa kwendlela yesayensi.
"Uyazi, ndicinga ukuba uyazichitha phambi kwenkawu engenaboya njengam." Unezinto ezilungileyo kwi-sharaga yakho, kwaye iinkonzo zokukhapha abathengi aziyi kuba buhlungu.
“Yiza,” uLeo wamwangawangisa emkhupha. -Ungaziva njani ngethemba lokudlulisela ingqondo yakho ngokuthe ngqo kwi-quantum matrix? Ngaba unokuwathelekelela amathuba anokuvela? Zilawule njengenkqubo yekhompyuter, ngokulula ngokucima okanye ukuguqula iziqwenga ezithile ze-firmware. I-neurophobia yakho inokulungiswa ngentshukumo enye.
- Fuck ulonwabo olunjalo. Ngokunyanisekileyo, andicingi ukuba umntu uya kuhlala engumntu emva koku; kunoko, umphumo uya kuba yinto efana nenkqubo enzima kakhulu. Mna, ngokuqinisekileyo, andinayo ingcamango yokuba yintoni ingqiqo kwaye ingaba iyakwazi ukuguqulwa ibe yinye kunye ne-zero kwaye, ithi, yongeza ingqiqo kumntu ... Ngamafutshane, andikholelwa ukuba inkqubo yekhompyutheni inokuzilungisa.
Usenokungakholelwa, kodwa kufana noloyiko lwakudala lobuchwephesha olungaqondakaliyo kangangokuba lubonakala lufana nobugqwirha. Lo ngumda osengqiqweni ngokupheleleyo wophuhliso lwethu, emva koko kuya kuqalisa inqanaba elitsha lembali. Ayisiyonto intle-ihlabathi elingabambekiyo liya koyisa ekugqibeleni iqokobhe elifayo. Unokuba sisithixo: hambisa iziphekepheke, woyise iinkwenkwezi. Ukuhlala ungumntu, ubotshelelwa ngonaphakade sesi santya sincinci sokukhanya, awusoze woyise indalo iphela, ngaphandle kwalowo usondeleyo kuthi. Kwaye i-quantum intelligence, ngoncedo "lonxibelelwano olukhawulezayo," inokugijima ijikeleze i-galaxy ngesantya sokucinga kwaye ilinde izigidi zeminyaka ukuba izixhobo zayo zifike kwi-Andromeda.
-Linda isigidi seminyaka, kodwa ndiza kuzisula ngenxa yokukruquka. Mna ngokwam ndiyalithanda ithemba labakhenkethi be-hyperspace kunye noloyiso lwe-Andromeda nebulae ngomoya wobunyani obungenangqiqo nobungenanceba bobusoshiyali.
- Fiction, hayi inzululwazi. Indlela endikuxelele yona iyinyani. Eli likamva lethu, kungakhathaliseki ukuba uyoyika kangakanani kwaye ufuna ukuziqinisekisa ngenye indlela.
"Mhlawumbi andizukuphinda ndiphikise." Kwaye mandikukhumbuze kwakhona ukuba abaphulaphuli ekujoliswe kubo bakhethwe kwiphulo lakho le-PR.
-Le ayilophulo lePR?
- Kakade ke, sicinga ngekamva loluntu. Nangona kunjalo, kuvela izikrokro ezingacacanga zokuba incoko yethu liphulo lentengiso elifihliweyo ngobuchule kwiimveliso zeTelecom: namhlanje kuphela, bhala kwakhona ukwazi kwakho kwi-quantum matrix kwaye ufumane i-grill yombane engummangaliso njengesipho.
ULeo uvele wafutha.
— Mhlawumbi ubathiyile nabathengisi? Abarhwebi ababi, akunjalo?
- Kukho kancinci.
-Kumhlaba wethu osemva kancinci usenako ukusinda, kodwa, umzekelo, kuMars, ukuba sicinga ukuba ukwazile ukuhlala apho, uya kujongeka njengomntu olahliwe ngokwenene, njengomntu ojikeleza isixeko ekhwele ihashe. kukho ikrele ethangeni lakhe.
- Ewe, kulungile. Masithi ndinengxaki ezithile, kodwa andifuni “kuthetha” ngayo. Ndiyathanda ukuba ngulo mntu ujongelwe phantsi umfanekiso wakhe upeyinta ngononophelo. Hayi, nokuba kunjalo, ndiyathanda ukuzitshabalalisa, ndifumana uhlobo lolonwabo lwe-masochistic kuyo. Kwaye andikaqondi ukuba ivela phi le itch psychoanalytic.
- Ndiyaxolisa ngokuphikelela kwam, ndinomzalwana ongu-psychoanalyst kwaye usebenza kwiofisi enomdla kakhulu kwi-Mars. Kuya kuba nomdla kuwe ukwazi ngakumbi imisebenzi yakhe.
- Ngoba?
"Ngokungaqhelekanga, uqinisekisa ngeyona ndlela inzima, ngokubanzi, hayi i-phobias enengqondo."
- Kutheni kukho i-phobias rhoqo? Kutheni ucinga ukuba ndiyayoyika into?
— Okokuqala, wonke umntu woyika into ethile, kwaye okwesibini, ukuba sithetha ngawe, usenoloyiko lwe-neurochips kunye nenyani ebonakalayo. Uyoyika ukuba, ngenxa yenjongo embi yomntu, baya kungena entloko yakho kwaye bajije into ethile apho.
"Ayinakwenzeka into enje?"
"Mhlawumbi ihlabathi elisingqongileyo, ngokomgaqo, linepropathi efanayo." Kodwa awukwazi ukukhupha kwaye ujonge umhlaba ngeglasi ye-aquarium de ufe.
-Lo isengumbuzo omkhulu, ngubani ojonga umhlaba kwi-aquarium. Andikhathali ukutshintsha, kodwa ndifuna ukutshintsha intando yam kangangoko ndinako.
“Isengumbuzo omkhulu wokuba umntu unokutshintsha ngokuthanda kwakhe, okanye kukho into esoloko imtyhala.
"Andizukudlala ifilosofi nawe." Yamkele nje njengenyani, ndinale credo yobomi: inethiwekhi ayifanelanga ibe namandla phezu kwam.
-Credo, umdla kakhulu.
ULeo uye wathula engaqinisekanga wangqiyama esitulweni sakhe, wangathi uyasuka kancinci kulowo ebethetha naye. Ebebonakala engonelisekanga uLapin emane efixiza esitulweni hayi ebengeva okanye ayiboni le ncoko, zonke iintshukumo zakhe bezicace gca, zibalwa ngekhompyutha. Ngaloo ndlela, i-neurochip yayithintela izihlunu ekubeni ziqine kwaye zibuyisele ukuhamba kwegazi okuqhelekileyo, ukuze umntu angaziva njengonodoli oqinileyo emva kweeyure eziliqela ehleli engashukumi. Abantu babonakala besoyika ngexesha lokuntywiliselwa ngokupheleleyo, babonakala belele, kodwa bevule amehlo. Ukuphefumla kulinganayo, ubuso buzolile kwaye buzolile, kwaye unokumvusa umntu onjalo: i-neurochip isabela kwisivuseleli sangaphandle kwaye iphazamise ukuntywila. Kodwa ngubani owaziyo ukuba umntu ofanayo uya kukujonga xa ebuya kwihlabathi elibonakalayo.
- Credo, oko kukuthi. Ngoko ufuna ukuthetha ukuba uhlala ulandela imithetho ethile. Mhlawumbi sinokubiza le khowudi, ikhowudi yentiyo ye-neurochips kunye ne-Martians? – ULeo waqhubeka ehlalutya. -Ke, amanye amalungiselelo ekhowudi yakho sele ecacile kum.
- Eziphi?
"Masiyibeke ngolu hlobo: shiya imikhondo embalwa kangangoko kunokwenzeka." Abanye balandela kulo mgaqo wehlabathi jikelele: musa ukuboleka imali, musa ukubhalisa kwiintanethi zentlalo, njalo njalo. Ngaba uqikelele ukuba kulungile?
UDenis wavele wafinga intshiya ephendula.
- Akukho ukuphazamiseka kwe-cybernetic emzimbeni ngumgaqo wesibini ocacileyo. Kuya kufuneka ucoce umphefumlo wakho nengqondo, uPadawan omncinci. Ewe, kwaye, ngokuqinisekileyo, umgangatho omiselweyo ukongeza: musa ukuqhotyoshelwa, ungathembeli mntu, ungoyiki nto. Uyazi ukuba yintoni ebangela umdla ngayo yonke le nto?
- Ke ngoku ntoni?
"Awuzenzisi kwaye ulandela ngokungqongqo imigaqo yekhowudi yakho." Ngapha koko, awunabo abalandeli okanye abafundi?
— Ungabhalisela isemina yam yokuqala yasimahla.
“Iseyiyoyiko,” ngala mazwi uLeo wathembela ngakumbi emva ngolwaneliseko, “yaye yomelele kangangokuba uye wakha ingcamango kuyo yonke into.” Akulula njengoko kubonakala ngathi ukuxhathisa impembelelo eyonakalisayo yamaMartians ubomi bakho bonke. Ukwenza oku, kufuneka ube nohlobo oluthile lwengcamango exabiseke kakhulu, okanye woyike kakhulu into ethile. Khawucinge nje ukuba kulula kangakanani, ii-Eurocoins ezingamakhulu ambalwa, ukuhlala iintsuku ezimbini kwiziko lezonyango, kunye nazo zonke iziyolo zehlabathi ezinyaweni zakho. Iiyachts, iimoto, abafazi okanye ii-orcs ezineelves, fikelela nje kwaye uyithathe.
UDenis akazange athethe nto, wanyusa amagxa akhe ecaphuka. Ujongele phantsi amandla kagqirha ukuba angene emphefumlweni womthetheleli wakhe. Ewe, umntu ophile malunga nekhulu leminyaka kwaye unabo bonke abasebenzi beengcali zengqondo abaqeqeshiweyo, kunye nomzalwana waseMartian oza kuqala, kufuneka abe nobuchule kwezo buchule. UDenis wayengathandabuzi konke konke ukuba aba basebenzi be-psycho- kunye nabanye abahlalutyi babekho, kwaye ngexesha lothethathethwano olubalulekileyo uLeo mhlawumbi wasebenzisa iinkonzo zabo. Nangona kunjalo, kule meko kwakungafanelanga ukwazisa ithiyori yeyelenqe elintsonkothileyo; UDenis wakhululeka kwaye ngempazamo watyhila ubume bakhe bokwenyani. Ewe, damn it, uyoyika i-neurochips kunye nenyani yokwenyani, uziva ngathi yingcuka ezingelwayo kwihlabathi apho ummandla "wenyani enyulu" uncipha ngokungenakuphikiswa yonke imihla. Kwaye yena, ngokubanzi, akazange azame ukuqonda izizathu zentiyo yakhe. Yintoni emenza aqhubeke egatya inyaniso yobomi ebonakala icacile? Mhlawumbi ngenene ungumntu nje ophelelwe lithemba, eziva engakwazi ukungena kuluntu lwanamhlanje? “Ndingumshologu,” wacinga njalo uDenis, “owenziwe ngenyama negazi, kodwa ndisisiporho esiphila kwihlabathi ekudala lingenamdla kuye nabani na. Apho phantse akukho mntu useleyo.
"Ndingakubeka ipakethe yeengcali zengqondo ezilungile kuwe," uLeo wayebonakala eqikelela iingcinga zakhe, "bangakuqwenga uphelele, ndiyadlala kwakhona, ewe, ungahoyi." Awuyiva le nto rhoqo, abantu abaninzi abayi kuyiqonda.
- Ngoko uya kuqonda?
“Ewe, ndinamava obomi amaninzi, ndiyawabulela,” wancuma kancinci uLeo. - Kukho impembelelo yengqondo enomdla: akukho mntu uziva ephazamisekile kukuba kukho i-chip entloko yakhe elawula ngokupheleleyo inkqubo yakhe ye-nervous kwaye enokulawulwa ngomnye umntu. Njengoko besenditshilo, nokuba ubona into eyahlukileyo kancinci kwinto eyiyo, yintoni ke? Mhlawumbi indlela oziphatha ngayo ide ilungiswe kancinane ngandlel’ ithile, kodwa ke, kusengcono kunokunyanzelwa ukuba ungene estalini ngokukhaba kunye neeklabhu. Makhe sicinge ukuba uthungelwano lwenziwa kwaye lulawulwa kungekhona ngumntu, kodwa ngumntu ophakamileyo ongenasiphako. Ihlabathi lanamhlanje lintsonkothe kakhulu kwaye aliqondwa, kufuneka silamkele njengoko linjalo.
- Kuyavela ukuba oku akusiyo i-phobia nonke.
- Ewe, oku kuyinyani, ngoko uloyiko lwakho alunangqiqo ngokuphindwe kabini. Usenokubathiya abavelisi bokutya kuba banokukulawula ngendlala. Okanye, umzekelo, umpu obekwe entloko yakho ulawula indlela oziphethe ngayo ngokuthembeka ngakumbi kunebhukmakhi enobuqili kwinkqubo yokusebenza yetshiphu.
- Ngaba awuwuboni umahluko osisiseko? Yinto enye xa ulawulwa ngaphandle, kodwa uyaqonda ukuba ngubani okunyanzelayo kwaye njani, kwaye enye into xa oku kusenziwa ngokudlula ukuqonda.
"Kodwa awuqondi ukuba akukho mahluko, iziphumo ziya kuhlala zifana: umntu uya kukulawula." Ngaphambili, aba yayingamagosa abhityileyo aneqela lamaphepha azizidenge. Abakwazanga ukuhlangabezana nemingeni yelo xesha, ngoko ke bathatyathelw’ indawo ngama-elites athambileyo naphuhlisiwe kwiinkampani ze-IT zamazwe ngamazwe. Ulawulo lweeMartians lubuqili kwaye luyinkimbinkimbi, kodwa alukho ngaphantsi kokuthembeka.
- Kulungile, andize ndilibale ukuba ngubani ophuhlisa iinkqubo zokusebenza kwiiseva zenethiwekhi, kwaye andifuni ukuzivavanya ukuba zeziphi iziphumo zengqondo ezinokuzenza.
— Oko kukuthi, ukhetha uxinzelelo oluluthuntu lomatshini worhulumente wobuzwilakhe?
- Kutheni kufuneka ndikhethe phakathi kweenketho ezimbini ezicacileyo ezingalunganga?
- Umbuzo buciko? Ukuba bekukho enye inketho, emangalisayo kuzo zonke iinkalo, bendiya kuyikhetha. Kulungile, masiwuyeke lo mxholo. “Ekugqibeleni, sonke sinobuthathaka bethu,” watsho ngobubele uLeo.
- Masiyiyeke loo nto, kum kubonakala ngathi siyancokola kancinci, oogxa bethu mhlawumbi banexhala.
Andicingi njalo, kusenokwenzeka ukuba bathabatheke ngokupheleleyo koko bakubonayo. Ewe, siza kubajoyina ngoku. Umlawuli wethu uyisombulule ingxaki yakho encinci, ngoku isicelo sinokhetho lokuntywiliselwa. Ngaba unokuthelekelela ukuba bekuya kuba nzima kangakanani kuwe kuMars? Isenzo semihla ngemihla esingenatyala sijika sibe yingxaki enkulu. Kodwa kungekudala okanye kamva, imigangatho yenethiwekhi yeMartian iya kufikelela nakule mimandla ingaphandle kwempucuko.
UDenis sele ediniwe zezi ngcebiso malunga nokungaphuhlisi kwakhe okuncinci. Wayefuna ukugqabhuka, kodwa, ebambe iliso elipholileyo elihlekisayo lalowo wayethetha naye, waqonda ukuba kufuneka akhangele impendulo engcono.
- Ndiyabona ukuba incoko yethu, ngaphezu kokuxoxa nge-phobias yam eyoyikisayo, ihlala ihla ku-Mars: i-Mars le, i-Mars leyo ... Yintoni le nto? Kubonakala ngathi ayindim ndedwa oneekhompleksi ezithile.
- Ewe, ndikuxelele, wonke umntu unazo.
- Kodwa awufuni ukuwachaza.
“Ungayichaza,” watsho ngesisa uLeo.
- Kutheni, ndicinga ukuba ndiza kugcina ulwazi olunomdla.
“Yigcine,” watsho encuma ngakumbi uLeo, “ucinga ukuba ulwazi endinalo ngoMars lunexabiso?” Ndiza kukuxelela ngakumbi, andikuchasanga ukuthatha indawo yenyani yaseRussia enentiyo kunye neMartian.
Kodwa awufuni kushukuma, kungenjalo ngewulandele umntakwenu kwakudala. Ufuna ukuthatha indawo efana naleyo uyenzayo apha. Kodwa kuyacaca ukuba ayisebenzi, iiMartians azikuqapheli njengomntu olinganayo?
Ngomzuzu omnye, into efana nomsindo wakudala yavuka emehlweni kaLeo, kodwa yanyamalala.
- Ndiza kuba nethuba lokuphucula imeko. Kodwa mhlawumbi unyanisile, akukho mfuneko yale nto ingenanjongo yokumba kwiingxaki zabanye abantu, masicinge ngcono malunga nendlela yokuncedana.
- Sinokuncedana njani? - UDenis wamangaliswa; akazange alindele ukujika okunjalo kwincoko.
“Ndingakunceda ekucombululeni, umzekelo, iingxaki zakho zengqondo,” waphendula uLeo ngelizwi elincinane, “Isebe lenkampani yaseMartian DreamLand esandul’ ukuvulwa eMoscow, lisebenza ngokukhethekileyo ekuphiliseni imiphefumlo yabantu.” Yiza ubabone.
“Udlala ngam? - UDenis wacinga. "Ukuba kukho intsingiselo efihlakeleyo kumazwi akhe, andikhange ndiyifumane."
- Ewe, ndiza kungena, kwaye yintoni, ungandifumana isaphulelo kwiinkonzo zabo?
- Ewe, akukho ngxaki, umntakwethu usebenza apho, kuphela kwiofisi eyintloko kuMars. "Ndiza kukunika isaphulelo esifanelekileyo," watsho uLeo ngelizwi eliqhelekileyo, ngokungathi yinto nje engenamsebenzi kumhlobo wakhe, kodwa ilizwi elincinci lahlala elizwini lakhe.
- Ndingakunceda njani?
- Makhe sizinze. Okokuqala, yiya kwi-"DreamLand", ayingabo abathakathi apho, ukuba akukho nto banokuyenza.
“Sisiphakamiso esingaqhelekanga, kodwa kuyacaca ukuba sithetha ngohlobo lonxibelelwano olungacwangciswanga ekunqweneleka ukulufihla emehlweni,” uvale ngelo uDenis. "Kwaye kulungile, ekugqibeleni, akukho nto ndiza kuphulukana nayo, ndiza kujonga le ofisi ibolileyo yaseMartian."
“Kulungile, ndiza kudlula ngenye yezi ntsuku ukuba ndinexesha,” wavuma uDenis, engabonakalisi mdla, kodwa enelizwi elincinane.
- Oko kuhle. Kwaye ngoku nceda wamkelekile kwihlabathi elimangalisayo lenyani eyongeziweyo, kuba ubunyani obuqhelekileyo benyani ayifumaneki kuwe.
Ngeli xesha kwakungekho ziphumo zethiyetha; ihologram enkulu yatyhilwa phantse ngoko nangoko, ivala umbono okhoyo. Kwihologram, uDenis wayehleli esitulweni kwindawo enye, emva kancinci emva kwabo bonke abanye. Iconsole yokulawula i-avatar yakho ivele ekhohlo. Wazama ngokuzenzekelayo ukujonga emva kwakhe, umfanekiso ngokukhawuleza waqala ukushukuma. U-Leo, ngokungaqhelekanga, naye wagqiba ekubeni azenzele ihologram elula; UDenis wayenokucinga ukuba ugqirha wayenexhala ngemeko yakhe.
Amehlo abo abona umfanekiso wendlu efihlakeleyo engaphantsi komhlaba apho kwenziwa khona iimvavanyo ezingavumelekanga ebantwini. Isinyithi esiqinileyo kunye nekhonkrithi, iindonga ezingwevu ezingalinganiyo, i-hum yabalandeli abanamandla, izibane ezikhanyayo ezimnyama phantsi kwesilingi. Igumbi lalibonakala lilahliwe okwangoku; ii-autoclaves ezinkulu zazingasasebenzi. Ingaphakathi labo, likhutshiwe ngokucocekileyo kwaye lihlanjwe, kunye netyhubhu efana namathumbu kunye nemibhobho, ngokungenazintloni bakrola kwiingcango ezikhanyayo. Ngoku babephantse baphakathi kwegumbi, ecaleni kweetheminali zekhompyutha kunye neeprojekti zeholographic, ezibonisa ngoku ezinye iigrafu, iigrafu kunye nemizobo, kunye nomzekelo wenkqubo yokulwa ye-cybernetic, oko kukuthi, ijoni elibalaseleyo. KuDenis yayiyihologram ngaphakathi kwehologram; kwabo basebenzise ukuntywiliselwa ngokupheleleyo, imbonakalo yayinokuba yahlukile. Amajoni abalaseleyo, kufanele kuthiwe, ayenza le nto ichukumisayo kunye nenkangeleko yawo efana nemfazwe.
Icala elingaphesheya kweholo, libiyelwe ngocingo oluhlabayo olunombane ophezulu, olugudileyo lwajika lwaba yimiqolomba ethe rhuthu, kubunzulu bayo kwakukho amagumbi abiyelwe ngeentonga zentsimbi ezityeke njengengalo yomntu. Ukusuka apho kwavakala intswahla, kodwa isangxola. Ngokunokwenzeka, zaziqulathe iisampulu zamajoni aphezulu angazange afakwe kwimveliso. Yonke le ntolongo imnyama ayinakuthathwa njengexabiso lobuso, kodwa kwabonakala kuDenis ukuba ukugculelwa kweprojekthi yakhe kwakungafanelanga iqumrhu laseMartian.
Phakathi kwabasebenzi beziko lophando, kwakukho enye indoda eyayikhona, imfutshane ngesithomo, inxibe ingubo emhlophe ephoswe emagxeni, icocekile kwaye ifanelekile, ngesandla sakhe sasekunene yayiphatha ngokungakhathaliyo iihologram ezininzi kwaye yayithetha ngento ethile. Wayeneenwele ezimdaka, namehlo angwevu. Enye inwele yatshintshwa kwafakwa inyanda yemisonto yesikhokelo esikhanyayo. “Oyena myili wethu ubalaseleyo wetshiphu,” watsho uLeo le ngcaciso ithob’ isidima ngelizwi eliphantsi. Nangona kunjalo, oku kwakungeyomfuneko: uMaxim, elo yayiligama lomphuhlisi, xa ebona uDenis, waliphazamisa ibali lakhe kwaye ngokudanduluka okuvuyisayo waphantse wangxamela ukumgona, wema ngokoqobo ngomzuzu wokugqibela, ngokucacileyo wafunda inkcazo yenkqubo. ukuntywiliselwa kwabo ngokupheleleyo Denis wayekho, ngoko kuthetha, phantse , kuphela ngohlobo avatar.
- Dan, ngaba ngokwenene wena? Bendingalindelanga kudibana nawe apha.
- Ngokulinganayo. Uthe usebenzela iTelecom, kodwa bekubonakala ngathi uthetha ngeofisi yaseMartian.
"Kwafuneka ndibuye ngexesha leprojekthi," uMax waphendula ngokuphepha.
-Asizange sibonane ixesha elide.
“Ewe, malunga neminyaka emihlanu, mhlawumbi,” uMaxim wathula engaqinisekanga; njengoko kwavelayo, akukho nto ikhethekileyo ababenokuyithetha omnye komnye.
Kwaye utshintshe kakhulu, Max, ufumene umsebenzi olungileyo kwaye ujongeka ulungile ...
Kodwa wena, Dan, awukatshintshi kwaphela, enyanisweni, abantu banokutshintsha kwiminyaka emihlanu, bafumane umsebenzi omtsha apho ...
- Ngaba niyazana? -ULeo ekugqibeleni wachacha kumothuko omtsha. - Nangona kunjalo, ngumbuzo obudenge. Awuyeki ukundimangalisa.
UDenis uthi: “Sasifunda kwisikolo esinye.
"Owu, yiza," u-Anton wangenelela kwangoko kwincoko, imeko yayibonakala imothusa kakhulu, "uDenis ngokuqhelekileyo yindoda engaqondakaliyo, i-antique neurochip yintoni." Ngaba akucaci ukuba banobudlelwane obude kunye nokuhlonipha; ukuba sifumanisa iinkcukacha zolu budlelwane, mhlawumbi asiyi kumangaliswa ...
“Oogxa bakhe,” uLapin wagxotha isekela lakhe eligigithekayo ngesenzo esiqinisekileyo, “uMaxim wayeza kuligqiba ibali lakhe, kungenjalo sele siphulukene nexesha elininzi.”
“Kulungile, siza kuthetha kamva,” uMax ethandabuza waya kwindawo yakhe yangaphambili.
Ibali elongezelelweyo lajika libe lishwabene, ngamanye amaxesha isithethi saqala "ukukhenkceza", ngokungathi sicinga ngento yakhe, kodwa sasinomdla. Kuba uDenis wayeyincutshe kwitheyibhile yeziqulatho ezivela kwizinto ezibonelelwe liZiko loPhando iRSAD ukuze liphononongwe, wafunda izinto ezininzi ezintsha kweli bali. Ewe kunjalo, uMax akazange akhuphe naziphi na iimfihlo zikhethekileyo, kodwa wathetha ngokulula nangolwazi olukhulu ngalo mbandela. Ukususela kumazwi akhe kwalandela ukuba iiprojekthi ezininzi ezifanayo kwixesha elidlulileyo zaphela ngokungaphumeleli ngokupheleleyo okanye inxalenye ngenxa yengcamango engalunganga. Abanduleli beZiko loPhando iRSAD, bethabathekile ngamathuba okwenziwa kwecloning kunye nokuguqulwa kofuzo, bahlala bezama ukukhukulisa umkhosi wezilo ezikhulu ezikhangeleka njengee-orcs, ii-waswolves, okanye abanye abalinganiswa abathandabuzekayo. Akukho nto ixabisekileyo ivela kuyo: kwixesha elide elifunekayo ukuze abantu bakhule (ubuncinci iminyaka elishumi, kwaye kuya kuhlala kubonwa ukuba kuya kuthatha ixesha elingakanani ukwenza imifuniselo engaphumeleliyo), iprojekthi ikwazile ukuphulukana nokubaluleka kwayo. Kwiingcinga ezigulayo zabanye “be-cyberneticists,” imifuniselo eyoyikisayo ngakumbi yazalwa ukudala abantu abangenangqiqo ngokupheleleyo, abalungele ukuya edabini ngoko nangoko emva kokuqanduselwa kwizidumbu zabantu abosulelekileyo, kodwa endaweni yoko kufuneka bahlelwe njengezixhobo zebhayoloji. Amaqela emimoya eyayisilwela ilizwe lawo kunye nomlawuli nawo akhankanywa njengenye yemisebenzi embalwa eye yaphunyezwa, kodwa afumana nesigwebo esidanisayo: “Ewe, inika umdla, ingaqhelekanga, kodwa ingenaxabiso likhethekileyo lokufundisisa. Kwaye ngaphandle koko, apha uMax wonganyelwa kukucekisa, "konke oku kukuziphatha okubi kakhulu, kwaye ukusebenza kwayo ngempumelelo akukangqinwa." Emva koko kwavela ngequbuliso kuDenis ukuba umtsalane, kwiingcaphuno, uyilo lwangaphakathi yayiyintlekisa ingeyiyo eyeyakhe intlangano, kodwa yabangaphambi kwayo abangaphumelelanga kangako.
Ndiyazibuza ukuba abanye bayayixabisa le miba inomdla? UDenis wahlala emva kwakhe wonke umntu kwaye wayeyibona ngokulula indlela wonke umntu asabela ngayo. Umphathi wabonakala ekruqukile, ebeke isilevu sakhe esichukumisayo kwisandla sakhe esityebileyo, wajonga-jonga ngapha nangapha ngokungakhathali, amawele ngononophelo aphulaphula onke amazwi, maxa wambi acacise into aze anqwale intloko ngazwinye emva kweengcaciso ezifanelekileyo. UAnton, ngokwemvelo, wazama ngamandla akhe onke ukubonisa ukuba, ngokungafaniyo nabathile, wayezifundisise ngokucokisekileyo iincwadi yaye wayesoloko esiphazamisa isithethi ngamazwi anjengala: “Owu, kwafumaniseka ukuba yiloo nto ephosakeleyo, ndandingekaqondi ukuba kanye kanye. Iinanorobots zibandakanyeka ekuvuseleleni izicubu, Kwincwadana yakho emangalisayo, lo mbandela, ngokombono wam, awugqunywanga ngokwaneleyo. " Ekuqaleni, uMax wazama ngobubele ukucacisela u-Anton ukuba wayephazame kancinane okanye wayenciphisa yonke into ukuya kwinqanaba le-amateurish-primitive, emva koko waqalisa ukuvuma naye. UDenis weva ngokoqobo ukuncuma okukhohlakeleyo ebusweni bukaLeo.
Ingcamango ephambili kunye nenqaku leprojekthi yeRSAD Research Institute yayikukuba wonke umsebenzi wenziwa ngamajoni anamava aqeqeshiweyo. Umbutho onomdla wakhetha abona basebenzi babalaseleyo kuluhlu lwenkonzo yayo yokhuseleko, kukhethwa ukuba babekwimo entle yomzimba kwaye bangabi ngaphezu kweminyaka engamashumi amathathu ubudala, kwaye wabadlulisela kukhathalelo lweziko lophando malunga neenyanga ezimbini. Emva kokwenziwa kotyando oluntsonkothileyo, amajoni aqhelekileyo ajika abe ngamajoni amakhulu. Inkqubo ayizange ibe nampembelelo kubuchule bengqondo bamajoni azayo kwaye yayinokuguqulwa ngokuyinxenye. Kakade ke, le nkqubo yayineentsilelo zayo. Nokuba umntu uthini na, loo mntu akazange ajike abe sisisimi. Njengoko uMax wachaza, nangona amajoni elona candelo libalulekileyo lenkqubo, akufanele alwe ngaphandle kwamanye amacandelo: iimodyuli ezingabonakaliyo, izixhobo ezihlakaniphile kunye nezixhobo. Kuphela kukudityaniswa komntu kunye nobuchwepheshe okwenza le nkqubo yabulala ngokwenene. Kwacaca ukuba injongo yenkqubo yayijoliswe ngokukodwa kwimisebenzi ekhethekileyo, kwaye kungekhona ukuphumelela kwemigca yeMannerheim. Ewe, kwaye ijoni elinjalo linokwenza iimpazamo kwaye libe noloyiko. Nangona kunjalo, ukuba uDenis watolika ngokuchanekileyo ezinye iingcebiso ezingacacanga, ngoko, ngesicelo somthengi, kwakunokwenzeka ukwenza utshintsho kuyilo olusisiseko: ukususa ukwesaba, ukungathandabuzeki kunye nokukwazi ukuxoxa ngemiyalelo evela kwii-supersoldiers.
“Kulungile, uMaxim,” uLeo khange akwazi ukuxhathisa, kucaca ukuba wayenexesha elilinganiselweyo, “ndicinga ukuba siyawuqonda umbono ophambili.” Ngaba ukho umntu okhathalayo ukuba siqhubela phambili kwidemo ye-simulator yobuchule?
Kwabakho uvuyo oluthulisiwe lokuvunywa.
- UMaxim, ukhululekile.
UMax ngembeko wathi ndlela-ntle kwaye wakhawuleza ukunyamalala kwihologram. Ugqirha ngokukhawuleza wajoyina abanye ekuntywilisweni kwabo ngokupheleleyo, kwaye ngendlela engaqhelekanga kakhulu eyayinokuqonda uDenis kuphela. Ihologram yakhe yagoba ngequbuliso, imnyama kwaye yabengezela ngayo yonke imibala yomnyama, ibhekisa kuLeo, njengengxilimbela elambileyo ye-amoeba kwaye, isahlula umfanekiso ophaphazelayo oguqukayo emzimbeni, yafunxa yonke into, ishiya esitulweni kuphela iqokobhe elinamehlo angenanto. Kuwo wonke umntu, ewe, akukho nto ingaqhelekanga yenzekayo, uLeo wasuka waphakama esitulweni sakhe waya kwindawo awayemi kuyo uMax ngaphambili. Ujike wajonga uDenis ngengqele ebandayo.
Imifuziselo yeKhompyutha yee-supersoldiers, engenalo ngokupheleleyo ithuku lokuzigcina, ixhonywe ukusuka entloko ukuya enzwaneni ngamabhanti ompu womatshini kwaye inxibe isikrweqe esimnyama, yahlasela izakhiwo eziphakamileyo, iibhankethi kunye neendawo zokuhlala ezingaphantsi komhlaba. Babonisa amadabi esithubeni, iimfazwe zeplanethi, iimfazwe zasebusuku, xa kubonakala kuphela iindlela eziqaqambileyo zeembumbulu ezindizayo. Amajoni agijima kumlilo weplasma, kwimiqolo yeetanki zeentshaba kunye neentsana, kwiindawo zemigodi kunye nezixeko ezivuthayo, zabaleka ngaphandle koloyiko okanye ukoyiswa kubukhulu be-simulator yobuchule.
- Dan, ngaba uxakeke kakhulu?
Uye wasondela uMax engabonwanga wathatha esinye sezitulo zasimahla wachopha ecaleni kwakhe.
-Andiqondi.
UDenis uzame ukunciphisa ihologram kwifestile encinci, kodwa umntu ulibale ukongeza olu khetho kwisicelo somsebenzi womnatha. Ekugqibeleni, wavala nje uxhulumaniso ngethebhulethi, ethumela uLeo umyalezo nge-imeyile, ukuze i-ambulensi yendawo ingaphindi ibaleke kuye kwakhona.
“Uyazi, andikwazanga nokuyicutha le hologram yakho-isiqhelo sokungathembeki kwi-telecom,” wakhalaza kuMax.
— Ngaba yahlukile kwi-INKIS?
- Hayi, mhlawumbi kubi kakhulu: iinethiwekhi zethu zindala.
- Dan, awukatshintshi kwaphela.
- Nditheni?
-Akukho nto ikhethekileyo, ubusoloko ubonakaliswa ngokugxekwa okunempilo kombutho wakho. Usaxhonywe njani apho?
"Ndisabambelele, umsebenzi ngumsebenzi, awuzukungena ehlathini." Kuthekani ngawe, ngaba yonke into icwangciswe ngokwahlukileyo?
Uphendule ngentsini uMax.
- Kakade ke, yahlukile. Iinkampani zaseMartian azingomsebenzi, ziyindlela yokuphila. Siyalithanda iqela lethu lomthonyama kwaye sinyanisekile kulo de kube sekufeni.
— Ngaba awuculi amaculo kusasa?
— Hayi, andiwaculi amaculo omculo, nangona ndiqinisekile ukuba abaninzi abanangxaki. Yonke into yahlukile apha, Dan: isangqa sakho sentlalo, isikolo sakho sabantwana, iivenkile zakho, iindawo zokuhlala ezahlukeneyo. Ilizwe labo elivaliweyo, eliphantse lingenzeki ukuba ungene usuka esitratweni, kodwa ndakwazi.
- Ewe, sivuyisana nawe, kutheni wehla ngokukhawuleza kwi-telecom yakho ye-Olympus ukuya kubasebenzi abaqhelekileyo baseRashiya?
— Andibalibali abahlobo bakudala.
-Ke mhlawumbi unganika umhlobo wakho wakudala umsebenzi onqabileyo kwaTelecom?
-Uqinisekile ukuba uyayifuna le nto?
- Ngaba unyanzelekile ukuba usayine igazi kwaye ungayityi inyama yehagu ngeMigqibelo? Ukuba kukho nantoni na eyenzekayo, ndilungile kwaye ndiyakwazi ukucula amaculo.
- Okubi kakhulu, uhlawula lo msebenzi kunye nawe kunye neenkumbulo zakho. Kuya kufuneka uzilibale ngokuzithandela wena kunye nexesha lakho elidlulileyo, ngaphandle koko inkqubo iya kukwala. Ukuze ube ngowakho, kufuneka uguqukele ngaphakathi. Ngokomgaqo, nantsi into ebendifuna ukuyenza: ukuqala ubomi obutsha kuMars, kwaye ndityhale bonke obu budenge, nobuqhetseba besiRashiya budlule kwigunjana elinothuli. Ndidikiwe kakhulu lilizwe lethu, yonke into elapha ibonakala icwangciswe ngokukodwa kwindawo enye ukuze iphazamise nawuphi na umsebenzi onengqondo. Ndandicinga ukuba kukho ubomi obutsha obundilindileyo kuMars.
"Bhuti, ungakhathazeki ngayo, bendidlala ngomsebenzi." Ndiyayibona impilo yakho entsha ikuphoxile?
- Hayi, kutheni, ndiyifumene into endiyifunayo.
Kodwa amehlo kaMax ayelusizi kwaye elusizi ngala mazwi. “Ndihleli kule Telecom isiqingatha sosuku, kodwa sele ikwazile ukufika kum,” wacinga njalo uDenis, “akukho nto inokuthethwa ngokuthe ngqo. Wonke umntu ufotwa yikhamera efihliweyo. Bonisa iesile lakho kwezi zinto zingaqhelekanga. "
Ngaphandle kwefestile, ipaki yayithe cwaka ngokutshona kwelanga. Amaqabane amancinci erobhothi yeGarcon avele kwigumbi lenkomfa - iirobhothi ezitshayelayo. Baqala ukuzoba ii-spirals ezichanekileyo zemathematika ezijikeleze izinto zangaphakathi, ukucoca ngokuthambileyo, ngokucacileyo, ukucoca kubazisele uvuyo olukhulu.
-Mamela, uMax, bathetha inyaniso ngezi ... ukunyaniseka kuhlolisiswa, kakuhle, xa bebeka iinkqubo ezithile kwi-chip ehlola zonke iingxoxo zakho kunye nezenzo usebenzisa amagama angundoqo kunye nezinto, ukuze ungazami yila umbutho, okanye ukhuphe into engeyomfuneko...
- Inyaniso, inkonzo yokhuseleko inesebe elikhethekileyo elibhala iinkqubo ezinjalo kwaye lijonge ngokukhethayo iirekhodi. Olunye uvuyo: ngokusemthethweni esi sakhiwo sizimele ngokupheleleyo; akukho mntu, hayi nelona gosa libalulekileyo leTelecom, unelungelo lokujonga iifayile zabo.
- Ngokusemthethweni, kodwa ngokwenene?
- Kubonakala ngathi kuyafana.
— Kwaye ukuba ukwinethiwekhi yomnye umntu, okanye akukho nethiwekhi kwaphela, bakujonga njani?
-Sifakwe kwimodyuli yememori eyongezelelweyo, ebhala yonke idatha engena kwingqondo yakho, kwaye emva koko idlulisele ngokuzenzekelayo kwicandelo lokuqala.
- Kwaye ukuba, umzekelo, uwedwa kunye nentshontsho, ngaba yonke into irekhodiwe?
Ngokuqinisekileyo bayibhala phantsi ngononophelo, bayijonge, emva koko isihlwele siyibukele sihleke.
- Kufuneka kubi? – UDenis wabuza ngovelwano ngathi.
- Akukho eqhelekileyo! Ngaba unomdla ongako?! Uzibonile ezi zinto, andiyazi ukuba zithini na, ii-freaks eziboshwe ngotywala ezivela kwisebe lokuqala, zidada apho kwiingqayi zabo ... kodwa andikhathali ukuba bajonge ntoni.
Ngoko nangoko iirobhothi ezimbini zokucoca zamisa, iikhamera zikamabonwakude ezinomdla ezijikelezayo zixhonywe kwiitranki ezide ezibhetyebhetye. Omnye wema kufutshane kakhulu noMax, ngokuzinikela ezama ukumjonga emehlweni, uMax wamkhaba ecaphukile, ejolise kwikhamera, ngokwendalo, waphoswa: intente ethe cwaka yabuyela emzimbeni, kunye nerobhothi, ngaphandle kobungozi. indlela, waya kuzihlamba kwenye indawo.
Andikhathali, ndiyaqonda, vumela nabani na, nokuba uSchultz, angene ebomini bam. Yena, okhohlakeleyo, ufaka impumlo yakhe ende kuyo yonke indawo, andikhathali, kodwa bandihlawula imali eninzi! Yanele imoto yexabiso eliphezulu, indawo yokuhlala, i-yacht, indlu e-Cote d'Azur, yanele yonke into. Ndinemali ephindwe kalishumi kunawe, ndiyaqonda.
Andithandabuzi ukuba unogada wokugqibela apha uhlawulwa ngaphezulu kwam. Kutheni unxunguphele nje? – UDenis wamangaliswa kancinci.
Kwakhe kwathula kancinci. Ukuxinezeleka kwe-viscous kujinga ngokuvakalayo emoyeni; yathontsizela phantsi njengemekyuri, iqokelelana kwisipili esingashukumiyo, esimenyezelayo sentsimbi enzima. Imiphunga enetyhefu esuka kuyo yayigubungela ngokuthe ngcembe abo banxibelelanayo. Kwathi cwaka kangangokuba wawusiva inkxwaleko yomlambo ngorhatya lwepaki ngaphandle kwefestile.
- Unjani uMasha, awukatshatanga? Awundimemelanga nokundimema emtshatweni.
- Masha? Yintoni ..., oh, Masha, hayi, sahlukana, Dan.
Kwaphinda kwathula.
- Yintoni, awuyi kubuza nokuba ndenza njani? – UDenis waphula ukuthula.
- Ke ngoku unjani?
“Ewe, awuyi kukholelwa, yonke into imbi,” watsho ngokukhawuleza uDenis. - Ikhulu ngokuphindwe kabini kuneyakho. Ayingomsebenzi wam kuphela, kodwa mhlawumbi nobomi bam bujinga emngciphekweni ngenxa yomphathi wam omtsha.
- Ngubani?
- Andrei Arumov, umphathi omtsha wenkonzo yokhuseleko yaseMoscow, ngaba uvile nantoni na ngaye?
“Andikhange ndive nto ilungileyo ngaye, Dan, ngokunzulu.” Hlala kude naye.
- Kulula ukuthetha, hlala kude, wahlala phantsi iiofisi ezimbini kum. Yaye ufumene kubani ngaye?
UMax wathandabuza kancinci.
- Ukusuka Leo ngokunjalo.
- Ewe, uSchultz wakho wenza ishishini elinomthunzi kunye ne-INKIS. Ngubani, umphathi wakho?
- Ewe, uxolo, Dan, kodwa andikwazi ukuthetha kakhulu ngoLeo. Akayi kuyithanda. Yintoni ingxaki yakho ngo-Arumov, uya kukugxotha?
- Hayi ncma. Kambe ke, oku kukunyelisa nokunyelisa, kodwa ukholelwa ukuba ngandlel’ ithile ndinxibelelene nemicimbi yomphathi wangaphambili. Kutshanje bekukho imeko echukumisayo, kwizangqa ezimxinwa, ewe, malunga nokuvalelwa kweqela lemigulukudu phakathi kwenkonzo yokhuseleko ye-INKIS.
“Dan, uthetha ngale nto uzolile,” ubuso bukaMax babonakalisa inkxalabo enyanisekileyo, “kutheni useMoscow?” Andidlali ngo-Arumov, ukutyumza umntu kufana nokutyumza i-cockroach, uya kumisa nantoni na.
— Luvela phi olu vavanyo lobuqu lunomdla?
- Hayi, kwaye andinamdla. Dan, mandikufumanele umsebenzi kwaTelecom, ndaweni ithile kude lee nalapha. Umbutho uya kukufihla. Uya kunikwa ubomi obutsha.
- Wow, unyuke ileli yomsebenzi kakuhle ukuba unokwenza izindululo ezinjalo egameni lombutho.
- Ngokuchasene noko, umsebenzi wam ngoku uyancipha; ukunyaniseka, ndiselubhacweni apha. Kodwa ndinomhlobo omnye ekulawuleni, okanye kunoko wayengumhlobo wam ... Ngamafutshane, kwinqanaba lakhe liyinto encinci kwaye akayi kunqaba.
"Ekugqibeleni uyifumene le Schultz, halala."
"ULeo akananto yakwenza nayo, asingobahlobo nje." Dan, mandiqhagamshelane nawe namhlanje malunga noku. Andikwazi ukuthetha ngale nto, kodwa ndinolwazi oluyimfihlo malunga ne-Arumov. Ukuba ngandlela-thile wawela indlela yakhe, awukwazi ukuhlala eMoscow. Kufuneka uzimele kwaye ufihle kakuhle kakhulu. Unenzondelelo yempambano enamandla amakhulu.
Andikwazi ukusebenza kwiTelecom.
— Uya kufakelwa itshiphu eqhelekileyo ngeendleko zenkampani, ukuba yiloo nto oyibuzayo.
"Yiyo kanye loo nto ndingakwaziyo."
-Dan, luhlobo luni lwe-kindergarten, usemngciphekweni wokufa, kwaye usadlala kwi-nonconformity yakho yeshumi elivisayo. Xa sasisesikolweni, kwakupholile, kodwa ngoku ... lixesha lokuba senze ukhetho. Awungekhe uyibaleke inkqubo; iya kuhlala ifunxa wonke umntu.
Akunjalo uMax ubonisa nje ngesiphakamiso sakhe, uDan wacinga. - Mhlawumbi likamva: intlanganiso engaqhelekanga, phantse engakholelekiyo nomhlobo wakudala. Yintoni endiyifumeneyo kule minyaka ingamashumi amathathu idlulileyo? Akukho nto, ngoko kububudenge ukujika impumlo yakho kwizipho ezinjalo. Ikamva lindinika ithuba lokuphila ubomi obuqhelekileyo: ukufumana umsebenzi ofanelekileyo, qala intsapho, abantwana. Hayi, ewe, andizukulitshintsha eli hlabathi, kodwa ndiya konwaba.” Isiporho sangokuhlwa ngaseziko, esizaliswe kukuhleka kwabantwana, samkhweba kumgama omangalisayo, apho yonke into yayicwangciswe kwaye icwangciselwe isiqingatha senkulungwane ngaphambili. Kwaye eli themba lobomi obulula, obunolonwabo lwamongamela kangangokuba isifuba sakhe saqalisa ukuba buhlungu. “Kufuneka sivume,” wacinga njalo uDan, ebanda ngakumbi, kodwa imilebe yakhe, phantse ngokuchasene nentando yakhe, yathetha into eyahlukileyo ngokupheleleyo:
"Ndiza kukufowunela nje ukuba ndicinge ngento ethile."
- Musa ukulibazisa oku, nceda.
- Kulungile, mhlawumbi ndingayifumana ngokwam ngandlela thile.
"Awuzokwazi ukujongana no-Arumov, ndikholelwe."
- Masihambe, Max. Anjani amajoni akho aphambili, azakusibonisa wona namhlanje okanye hayi?
"Mhlawumbi abazukuyibonisa emva kwayo yonke into."
- Ngokunyanisekileyo, uLapin uya kuvuya, uya kumnika isizathu sokungasayini nantoni na.
- Ngenxa yakho, ngendlela. U-Leo kungekudala uza kubhengeza ukuba asiyi kukwazi ukubonisa amajoni aphezulu ngenxa yeengxaki zobugcisa, ezinje ngokuba zonke zilungiswa ngokwesiqhelo. Kodwa esona sizathu kukuba uLeo akafuni ukubabonisa umntu ngaphandle kweenkqubo zokuthambisa.
— Naziphi na iingxaki ngenkangeleko yabo? Kodwa kuthekani ngayo yonke into oyiculileyo malunga noxanduva lwe-Telecom kwimizuzu emihlanu eyadlulayo?
"Sonke ngamanye amaxesha sicula into esiyixelelwayo." Kakade ke, kukho iingxaki ezithile ngenkangeleko yazo. Zonke ezi ntsomi malunga nendlela i-cyber freaks yethu ehlangana ngayo ngokuqhelekileyo ziintsomi nje. Ngokuchanekileyo, le ntsomi yenziwe ibe yinyani ngeenkqubo zokuthambisa ezibizayo. Ngaphandle kwabo, wonke umntu uya kubaleka amajoni ethu angamahlwempu. Ewe, akukho nto iya kubasebenzela ngokuzala. I really fucking hope they don't pick family guys.
- Sekunjalo, indlu yakho e-Cote d'Azur ineendleko ezithile.
- Le akusiyo iprojekthi yam, ndityhalwe nje apha de imeko yacaciswa. Kwaye ke, kunjalo, ewe, akunandaba ukuba eli ziko lophando liphazamisa abantu ngenxa yeminqweno yabo yokuzingca, kuya kubakho abantu abafuna ukwenza oku kuyo nayiphi na imeko. Ndiphuphe nje ukuba ndiza kusebenzisa iitalente zam ngenzuzo enkulu: umzekelo, dala iintlobo ezintsha ze-retroviruses ezilawulwayo. Indawo ethembisa kakhulu yophando, kunye nabo abantu banokuyeka ukuguga kunye nokugula ngokupheleleyo.
— Ewe, iiretroviruses zakho zinokusetyenziswa ngeendlela ezahlukeneyo.
- Ngoko Ewe. Ngaba ufuna ukubajonga, hayi nje irekhodi, kunjalo?
- Kuba supersoldiers? Ngaba u-Schultz akazukukunika i-Ein Zwei kwimisebenzi elolo hlobo?
- Hayi, into ephambili kukuba ayiveli ngokusemthethweni naphi na. Bonke abantu ababaluleke ngokwenene kwiprojekthi baye baqaphela oku ixesha elide, akusiyo imfihlo enjalo. Andisiqondi kakuhle isizathu sokuba woyike apho: mhlawumbi akafuni ukukhathaza ingqondo ethambileyo yababulali bethu be-cyber. Njengomntu uya kubabona ngaphandle kwe-makeup kwaye baya kucaphuka, baya kuba nengxaki yokulala, andazi. Ngamafutshane, ungathethi nabani na kwaye yiloo nto.
- Andinguye isithethi. Ndibonise.
“Ngoko ke ndicela undilandele.”
UMax wahamba phambili enamanyathelo abanzi, azithembileyo. UDenis wajonga macala onke ngomzuzu kwaye ngokungazi wazama ukuhlala kufutshane nodonga. Emva kokuba bewele ipaseji ende esuka kwisakhiwo seeofisi ukuya kwesinye isakhiwo baza baqalisa ukuhla behla benyuka bengene kwimingxuma yokwenene yeefowuni, ngoko nangoko waziva engakhuselekanga. Wayefuduselwe kude kakhulu; kwakungekho sizathu sakuzibuyisela. Kwindoda eyayithunyelwe elubhacweni, uMax wayezithembile kakhulu ekudluleni kwiindawo zokukhangela ezizenzekelayo, kunye nomntu angamaziyo. Okokuqala, bangena ngaphantsi komhlaba kwisinyusi esinye baza badlula kwisango lentsimbi elivalwe ngentsimbi elinemigca eorenji. Sadlula kwiipaseji ezininzi saza sakhwela enye ilifti ukuya kumnyango onomgca omthubi. Bagqithise izixhobo ezininzi zokuskena, emva koko bahamba ecaleni kodonga olude olumhlophe imigangatho emibini ukuya phezulu. Njengoko uMax wachazayo, emva kwayo kukho amagumbi acocekileyo akumgangatho ophezulu apho iitshiphusi zemolekyuli zikhuliswa khona. Enye i-elevator yakhwela ihla kwaye bazifumana bephambi kwesango elinomgca oluhlaza, kodwa ngeli xesha phambi kwayo, emva kwesahlulo esicacileyo, kwakumi oonogada ababini abaxhobileyo. Ngaphantsi kwesilingi, i-cannon elawulwa kude ijikelezwe ngepakethi yeebhari ezilishumi.
“Kulungile, Petrovich,” wabulisa uMax kulo mdala. “Emva koko umthengi ovela kwi-INKIS weza kuncoma amadoda ethu eSS.
“Yiloo nto ubabiza ngayo,” uDenis wahleka.
“Enyanisweni, sele befikile bevela kwiofisi yabo, bekukho lo mfo unempandla okhwankqisayo,” waphendula ngokungaqinisekanga uPetrovich, “kwaye kubonakala ngathi usifake isicelo.”
- Kodwa ndiyakwazi ukukhapha iindwendwe kwindawo eluhlaza.
- Unako, kunjalo, kodwa makhe ndibize umphathi wakho. Akukho tyala, Max.
- Akukho ngxaki, yicofe.
UMax wamthathela ecaleni uDenis.
“ULeo uzakufowuna,” watsho, “banokusigxotha, kodwa kulungile, kodwa siye sahamba.”
“Ewe, siye sahamba-kuhle, kodwa ukuba bangandinqunqa apha ngayo yonke imipu, iya kuba lihlazo,” waphendula uDenis, enqwala ngentloko kwinkanunu phantsi kwesilingi.
“Musa ukoyika, ubonakala ngathi udubula uhlobo oluthile lweembumbulu ezikhubazekileyo.”
"Ah, akukho nto yakuzikhathaza ngayo."
Kwimizuzu emihlanu emva koko, uPetrovich wababiza waza waphakamisa izandla zakhe enetyala:
- Umphathi wakho akaphenduli.
“Yintoni le ayenzayo ebaluleke kangaka?” UMax wamangaliswa. - Khangela, ngokuqinisekileyo, kodwa kufuneka unyaniseke ngakumbi kumthengi, ngaphandle koko isivumelwano siya kuwela, kwaye sonke siya kuyifumana.
"Ngoku, ndiza kuthetha nomphathi weshifu ... Kulungile, hamba," watsho uPetrovich emva komnye umzuzu, "nje, Max, ungandiyeki."
"Ungakhathazeki, siza kujonga enye kwaye sibuyele emva."
Isango elinomgca oluhlaza lathi cwaka lavuleka. Emva kwawo kwakukho igumbi elikhulu elinemiqolo yeekhabhathi eludongeni. Ngoko nangoko kwavela isilumkiso esoyikisayo phambi kwempumlo kaDenis: “Nikela ingqalelo! Ungena kwindawo eluhlaza. Ukuhamba kweendwendwe kwindawo eluhlaza ngaphandle kwe-escort kunqatshelwe ngokungqongqo. Abaphuli mthetho baza kuvalelwa ngoko nangoko. "
- Mamela, Susanin, bathembisa ukundilalisa ngobuso phantsi.
"Eyona nto iphambili kukuba ungabambeleli impumlo yakho apho ingekhoyo." Kwaye ungacingi nokucinga malunga nokucima i-chip.
"Mhlawumbi ndiza kuzikhulula iilensi zam kunye nee-headphones, kodwa andizukucima nantoni na." Ndingathanda ukujonga ubuhle bakho ngaphandle kwe-makeup.
UDenis wazifihla ngobunono iilensi kwingqayi yamanzi.
-Nxiba iiovaroli zakho, Dan, emva koko kukho indawo ecocekileyo.
Emva kwelinye igumbi elincinci apho kwakufuneka banyamezele ukuhlanjululwa kwe-aerosol yokuhlamba, ekugqibeleni babenokufikelela kwiimfihlo zeTelecom. Indlela eyongezelelweyo yayisecaleni kwetonela elinomthunzi. Ukukhanya okuluhlaza okuphuma ngqo kwiindonga ngokuthe chu kwadangezela ishumi ukuya kwiimitha ezingamashumi amabini kuphela phambi kwazo, kuxhwila ukusuka ngorhatya nokuba ziirobhothi ezincinane ezifana nezinambuzane okanye ukuphothelwa kohlobo oluthile lwemibhobho enesangqa nemibhobho. I-monorail encinci yayibaleka ecaleni kwesilingi, kwaye amaxesha ambalwa e-sarcophagi ebonakalayo yadada phezu kweentloko zabo, ngaphakathi apho ubuso obunomkhenkce kunye nemizimba yadadayo. Iirobhothi ezazibonakala ngathi ziingwane kunye nejellyfish nazo zazinyakazela kwimizimba yesarcophagi. Maxa wambi kwakubakho iifestile eludongeni. UDenis wajonga kwelinye lawo: wabona igumbi lotyando eliphangaleleyo. Embindini kwakukho ichibi elizaliswe yinto efana nejeli eshinyeneyo. Umzimba okhutshwe yi-disemboweled wadada kuyo, apho yonke iwebhu yeetyhubhu yakhokelela kwizixhobo ezikufutshane. Entla kwedama kwakuxhonywe irobhothi eyi-vivisector, ebonakala iphuma emaphupheni amabi, efana nengwane enkulu. Wayesika kwaye eqhekeza into ethile ngaphakathi emzimbeni ongekho zingqondweni. Umqa we-laser wadanyaza, kwangaxeshanye ishumi elinesibini leentente ezineentambo, ii-dipensers kunye ne-micromanipulators zantywila nzulu emzimbeni, ngokukhawuleza zenza into kwaye zavela ngasemva, i-laser yadanyaza kwakhona. Kuyabonakala ukuba oogqirha bebelawula utyando bekude; bekukho umntu omnye kuphela egumbini onxibe i-ovaroli eqinileyo enemaski ebusweni bakhe. Wayibukela nje inkqubo. Kwakukho enye i-sarcophagus eludongeni kunye nomzimba olinde ithuba lawo. UMax watyhalela phambili iqabane lakhe emcela ukuba angawuvuli umlomo wakhe. Kufuphi, izinambuzane zerobhothi zacofa zaza zabetha imilenze yazo emincinane yentsimbi ngendlela ecekisekayo. Kuzo zonke iimeko, bagxininisa uDenis kakhulu. Awungekhe uyishukumise imvakalelo yokuba oomatshini abakhohlisayo babeqokelelana emhlambini ngorhatya oluluhlaza emva kwakho, basuka batsiba ngequbuliso macala onke, bancamathelisa imilenze yabo yentsimbi ebukhali kwinyama ethambileyo kwaye bakutsalela echibini kwirobhothi ye-vivisector, eya kukudiliza ube ngamaqhekeza. Kwaye uya kudada kwiiflaski ezininzi, ubuchopho bakho kwenye, kunye namathumbu akho ecaleni.
- Loluphi uhlobo lwendawo? - UDenis wabuza, ezama ukuphazamisa iingcamango ezimbi.
- Iziko lonyango oluzenzekelayo, imisebenzi enzima kakhulu eyenziwa apha: ukutshintshwa kwamalungu, izicubu ezinomhlaza zisusiwe, zinokuthunga emlenzeni wesithathu ukuba ucela, kwaye amadoda ethu e-SS nawo aqokelelwa apha. Siya ngasekunene.
Ngenene uDenis wayengafuni ukungena kucango olusecaleni kuqala, kodwa uMax wayerhona ephelelwe ngumonde emva kwakhe. Ngokuzithandela, wangena ngaphakathi waza weba ukujonga phezulu. Ingwane yayilapho. Wayethe ngcu kumqadi wecrane phantsi kwesilingi, wayexakekile ethatha iminwe yakhe eqhwanyaza eqhwanyaza ngomsindo iliso lakhe elibomvu.
- Jonga, Dan, yethu mini-umkhosi.
UMax wawangawangisa isandla sakhe ngakwimiqolo yezikhongozeli ezicacileyo apho kulele izidalwa ezingaqhelekanga, zilityalwe kubuthongo obunzulu obubuhlungu.
- Ungakhulula iiovaroli zakho, akukho mntu uza kubona apha. Ndizakufota nam.
UDenis wakhupha ilaphu elibi le-silicone waza wanyathela wasondela kwesona sikhongozeli sikufutshane. Mhlawumbi yayikhe yangumntu, kodwa ngoku kuphela ziinkcazo eziqhelekileyo zesidalwa esingaphakathi ezingabantu. I-humanoid yayimde, malunga neemitha ezimbini, ibhityile kwaye ibhityile kakhulu, izihlunu ezijijelwe emzimbeni njengeentambo ezishinyeneyo. Yayifana nokulukwa kweentambo okanye iingcambu zomthi, kodwa ingengomzimba womntu. Ulusu lwakhe lwalumnyama olukhazimlayo, lukhazimla okwentsimbi, ngathi yimoto ekhazimlisiweyo, egqunywe ngamaxolo amancinane. Amadevu amaninzi entsimbi angqindilili, isiqingatha semitha ubude, awa enkqayini yakhe. Kwezinye iindawo, izihlanganisi ziphuma emzimbeni. Amehlo amnyama amile okwekroza abonisa ukukhanya okuluhlaza kumfiliba. Amehlo amabini amancinci ayenokubonwa ngasemva kwentloko yakhe.
“Mhle,” watsho uDenis ngalo mbono ungaqhelekanga, “ukuba udibana naye esitratweni, kuba ngathi uza kukrazula ibhulukhwe yakho.” Kutheni efuna amadevu entloko kunye namaxolo?
- Ezi zi-vibrissae, uhlobo lwelungu lokuchukumisa, ukufumana ukungcangcazela kwindalo, mhlawumbi enye into, andiqinisekanga. Izikali zilukhuselo olongezelelweyo ukuba isikrweqe asiphumeleli.
- Ngaba uze ne-monster enjalo?
- Hayi, Dan, ekugqibeleni ndandigqibezela iitshiphusi ezimbalwa kwinkqubo yokulawula. Ukunyaniseka ngokupheleleyo, yonke ingcamango esisiseko yabiwa kwimimoya yobukhosi. Yonke into iphantse ibe njengoko benditshilo, kodwa owona msebenzi uphambili wokuwuguqula ube ngulo mmangaliso uqhutywa zii-retroviruses ezinobuqili; ngokuthe ngcembe bahlengahlengisa i-genotype yomzimba phantsi kweliso leengcali. Kuphela kwi-empire i-retroviruses ifakwe ngokuthe ngqo kwiqanda, ngoko ke umntwana waphuma ngokukhawuleza kwi-autoclave ekhangeleka eyoyikeka, eyoyikisayo kunalezi. Asinaxesha lokulinda ukuba zikhule, ngoko ke inkqubo iye yalungiswa kancinane kwaye yakhawuleziswa. Kukho, ngokuqinisekileyo, ilahleko ethile yomgangatho, kodwa ngeenjongo zethu iya kwenza.
"Ndiyabona ukuba uthetha ubuxoki ezindlebeni zabathengi bakho."
- Masithi umthengi wokwenyani, uArumov, wazi ngakumbi.
"Ndiyabona, kodwa sifana nabatshintshi abancinci." Kukho umntu wokumisa eludongeni ukuba ezi freaks ziyaphambana ngequbuliso kwaye ziqale ukurhangqa.
- Hayi, abayi kuqala ukungcolisa, ulawulo lunamanqanaba amaninzi kwaye luthembeke kakhulu.
- Ke, ukuba ukhothe yonke into kwiziporho, nabo bayabathiya abantu baseMartians.
"Ewe, abantu bakho abanengqondo efanayo," watsho uMax, "abakwaMartians babephethe uphuhliso, ndicinga ukuba banyamekela eyona nto ifanelekileyo yentiyo yodidi."
— Uzifumene njani iintsholongwane ezifihlakeleyo zasebukhosini? -UDenis wabuza ngeyona tone ingaqhelekanga.
- Andazi malunga naloo nto ... kodwa kulungile ukubuza imibuzo enjalo, uyazi ngaphantsi, uya kuphila ixesha elide. Makhe ndivuse isibini samadoda angama-SS kwaye sazane ngcono.
UDenis watsibela kude kwezi zikhongozeli ngokungathi utshile.
- Uh-uh, masenze. Ndaye ndaqhelana kakuhle, kwaye uSchultz mhlawumbi wayedinwe kukulinda apho, efunga ngamagama amabi aseJamani.
- Kulungile, Dan, musa ukoyika. Ndibheja yonke into iphantsi kolawulo. Banemida yesoftware; ngokomgaqo, abanakuhlasela okanye benze nantoni na ngaphandle komyalelo.
- Isoftware? Andizithembi izithintelo zesoftware.
- Yiyeke, bane-chip yokulawula kuzo zonke izihlunu, konke endimele ndikwenze kukuchwetheza umyalelo ngekhowudi echanekileyo, kwaye baya kuwa njengengxowa yeetapile.
- Kusengumbono ombi. Masihambe ngcono.
Kodwa uMax wayengenakuphinda anqandwe; wayezimisele ukuphakamisa izilo engcwabeni ngenxa yezizathu ezikhohlakeleyo.
- Linda imizuzu emihlanu. Ukuba ufuna ngokwenene, ngoku ikhowudi yokukhansela yomlomo elula isekiwe, uthi "yeka", banqunyulwa ngokukhawuleza.
- Kwaye ukuba uvale iindlebe zakhe, ikhowudi iya kusebenza?
“Yonke into iza kusebenza,” uMax wayesele esebenza ngomlingo kwisingxobo sesibini.
Ingwane ephuma eluphahleni yamlandela yaza yamncedisa ukuba atofwe. UDan wayesele ekulungele ukuwola irobhothi ngokungathi yeyakhe, ukuba nje ingamnika inaliti engeyiyo. Ngesizathu esithile amajoni abalaseleyo ayemoyikisa.
- Ulungile.
Wehla ecaleni uMax. Ezi ziciko zimbini zonyuka kancinci.
- Apha, dibana noRuslan, umphathi weyunithi yakhe yeRSAD Research Institute. UGrieg lijoni eliqhelekileyo. Lo nguDenis Kaisanov ovela kwi-INKIS.
Kuyabonakala ukuba uGrieg wayengoyena unzima kunabo bonke. Umfo omde, obanzi obanzi, wema nje ezinzile, engabonisi nomncinane womdla kwihlabathi elimngqongileyo. U-Ruslan wayemfutshane, edlamkile, ukuphonswa kweentambo ebusweni bakhe kwakubonakala ngathi kunohlobo oluthile lokuthetha okunentsingiselo: umxube wokungakhathali kunye nokuzimela ngokupheleleyo kunye nenqaku le-melancholy yendalo yonke emehlweni akhe.
“Molo, Denis Kaysanov, ndiyavuya ukukwazi,” uRuslan wakhupha amazinyo akhe, etyhila umqolo wamazinyo amancinci abukhali, wasondela kuye.
Iintshukumo zamajoni abalaseleyo azikho ngaphantsi kwembonakalo yawo. Ekubeni babenganxibanga, umntu wayebona indlela imisipha yentambo edibana ngayo kwaye iphefumla, okwebhola yenyoka, ityhala umzimba ngokukhawuleza nangokulula. Amalungu abo akhululekile ukugoba nakweliphi na icala, uRuslan wagubungela iimitha ezintlanu ukuya kwi-interlocutor yakhe kwinqanaba elinye lokutsiba. Xa ishukuma, izikali zokuhlikihla zazivelisa isandi esincinane esirhashaza. Isidalwa sandisa ilungu elimnyama, elishwabeneyo ekubuliseni.
“Musa ukoyika, uphantsi kolawulo ngokupheleleyo,” uDenis wazama ukunqanda ukungcangcazela kwamadolo akhe, “ungambonisi uloyiko lwakho, mhlawumbi ulivumba njengenja.”
“Heyi,” wabamba ilungu ngononophelo waza walisusa ngoko nangoko.
- Woyika ntoni, Denis? - URuslan wabuza ngelizwi elinobusi.
“Musa ukuhoya, Ruslan,” watsho uMax ngokungakhathali, eqhubeka nokuphosa umlingo wakhe phezu kweGrig; uyakubona ngaphandle kwenkqubo yokuthambisa.
“Max, ungajongi, nceda,” uDenis wabhomboloza elumkisa, njengoko amehlo akhe ahlangeneyo esondela kuye emjonge ngomdla owandayo.
- Ewe? Kutheni uDenis endibona ngaphandle kweprogram?
“Itshiphu yakhe indala kakhulu, okanye hayi itshiphu, kodwa iilensi kuphela, azikhuphileyo,” waphendula uMax emsulwa engakhange ajike.
Ii-vibrissae ezimbini, ezijinga kwi-arc ebunzi, ngokukhawuleza zachukumisa ubuso bukaDenis kwaye weva ukothuka kombane obuthathaka.
- Kutheni, mhlobo wam, uze kuthi ngaphandle kwetshiphu? -URuslan wahlebeza ngelizwi elinobusi ngakumbi.
- Ma-ax! – UDenis wakhwaza kakhulu. - Babethe, damn it!
Ngequbuliso, uGrieg, emi njengesithixo, wabamba uMax ngentshukumo ebukhali, iidevu zentsimbi zammba ebusweni bakhe. Kwavakala ukuqhekeka kombane kwaye uMax wabhabha emgangathweni, ekhwaza kabuhlungu:
- Dan, itshiphu yam icimile! Andiboni okanye andikuva nto, biza ugqirha. Dan, ndibethe egxalabeni ukuba uyandiva,” uMax wayebonakala engayiqondi into eyenzekayo.
“Ndiza kukuqhwaba ngempama, mbonisi okhohlakeleyo,” wacinga njalo uDenis ephelelwe lithemba. Ubunzulu nokungabi nathemba kwale meko kwabonakala. Nokuba uncedo lufika kwitshiphu ekhubazekileyo ngokukhawuleza njengangaphambili, baya kwenza ntoni ngezilo ezinomsindo? Uza kubanceda njani uPetrovich ngeembumbulu ezikhubazekileyo?
UMax waqhubeka ekhala kwaye ekhasa ngokungaboniyo ukuya phambili, kodwa ngokukhawuleza wabalekela eludongeni waza, ebetha intloko kabuhlungu, wema.
- Yeka? – UDenis uthe ngokungaqinisekanga.
"Ikhowudi ayizange yamkelwe, eyona nto iphambili kulo msebenzi," uRuslan wancuma ngakumbi. "Ingoma yakho iyaculwa, Denis Kaysanov."
“Dan,” watsho uMax kwakhona, “kukho ipaneli ecaleni kodonga, cofa ikhowudi engu-3 yehashi ukuze irobhothi iwacime amajoni.”
“Kulula ukutsho,” wacinga njalo uDenis, ipaneli yaqhwanyaza yaqhwanyaza ngesalathisi seemitha ezimbini ukusuka kuye, kodwa uRuslan, ngentshukumo efihlakeleyo, wabeka isandla sakhe egxalabeni lakhe.
- Ngaba uya kuthatha umngcipheko? - wabuza ephoxisa.
- Nceda ungandibulali, ndinabantwana, i-chip yaphuka nje, kwaye ndandinengxaki nge-inshurensi. Kungekudala baya kundifakela entsha, ngelixa bekufuneka ndihambe ngolu hlobo ... uyayazi indlela engafanelekanga ngayo, ukuthetha okanye ukuthetha ngokuqhelekileyo ... - uDenis wakhathazeka, ezama ukucacisa utshaba ukuba ukuxhathisa kwakungalindelekanga kwaye wayenokuphumla. URuslan wancuma wasusa isandla sakhe.
“Lixesha lokuba sigqibezele olu tyando,” watsho uGrieg, “ixesha liphelile, sibeka emngciphekweni.”
-Yima, joni, ndiyayazi into endiyenzayo.
- Yamkelwe.
URuslan wayebonakala ephazamisekile kwaye uDenis wagqiba ekubeni akuyi kubakho elinye ithuba. Wakhwaza njengenkunzi yenkomo eyonzakeleyo waza wamkhaba uRuslan emadolweni, ezama ukumbamba emehlweni ngesandla sakhe, ekholelwa ukuba le nto yindawo ebuthathaka kuphela ye-monster. Waphantse wabetha edolweni, yaye isandla sakhe, esasibotshwe ngezikhonkwane zentsimbi, sajijeka sathi shwaka, samnyanzela ukuba ahlale phantsi. Kodwa nangona kunjalo, i-octopus engentla yahlala inomdla kwinto eyenzekayo kwaye yatsala iintente ngeesirinji ukuya kumajoni. “Bhuti,” uDenis wacinga ngeqhiya ebomvu, “Bendiphosisile kakhulu ngawe, yiza, bhuti.” Ngelishwa, imikhosi yayingalingani kakhulu, iintente ezikrazulwe yinyama zabhabhela kwikona yegumbi kwaye zahlala apho zingenamandla zikhuhla phantsi. UGrieg watsiba, ebambelele kumqadi wesilingi okwesigcawu esikhulu, umoya ucula kwaye ubetha umlozi ngeentshukumo zakhe. Irobhothi, ikrazulwe kwiinduli zayo, yabhabha yaya kwikona echaseneyo, ijikeleza okotyani kwaye isasaza iingcingo nezikrufu.
“Dan, kuqhubeka ntoni, uselapha, ndibethe egxalabeni,” uMax wakhwaza kwakhona, ebonakala ukuba uva ukungcangcazela kweendonga kumatshini ubetha kuzo.
“Baza kundibulala, wena mfethu,” uDenis akazange anikezele ezama ukuzikhulula, kodwa waziva ngathi uphelelwa zingqondo, kuba isandla sakhe sasibambelele kwilizwi lakhe lembeko. ixesha elide. - Kwenzeka njani ukuba, emva koko, akukho nto yayifanekiselwa ngaphambili, wahlala, wathetha ngale nto kwaye, wadla i-whisky kunye ne-sausage. Damn indenze ndajonga ezi zibhanxa. Kwaba bubudenge kangakanani na. Kuya kuba ngcono ukuba u-Arumov andibambe, ubuncinci bekuya kubakho ingqiqo. "
- Ndiza kubuza umbuzo omnye, uDenis Kaisanov, ukuba uphendule, ukhululekile ... Ndixelele, yintoni enokutshintsha indalo yomntu?
URuslan wagqwashula phantsi wasondela kufutshane kakhulu, kangangokuba uDenis weva umoya wakhe opholileyo; wayeqonda ukuba ushiye imizuzwana embalwa ukuba aphile.
- Fuck wena, phuza iesile likaMartian ophendula imibuzo yakho. Uya kukuxelela ukuba awungomntu, ulingelo ongaphumelelanga, uya kufela emseleni...
- UGustav Kilby.
- Intoni? - UDenis wathatyathwa emangalisiwe, sele elungiselela ukunyukela ezulwini.
- UGustav Kilby, lelo gama likaMartian olaziyo impendulo echanekileyo. Xa udibana naye, qiniseka ukuba ubuze into enokutshintsha indalo yomntu.
"Mthetheli, lixesha lokuba sigqibezele umsebenzi, silibazisa kakhulu," utshilo uGrieg ngethoni engayinyamezeliyo inkcaso.
- Kakade ke, umlo.
URuslan wamtyhala ngenkani uDenis emgangathweni. Kwavela isithunzi esimnyama sigxalathelana ukuya phambili, kwavakala isithonga esiluthuntu kunye nentswahla eyonyanyekayo. Umzimba kaGrieg wantlitheka phantsi ekrazukile umqala, kunye nedama legazi elimnyama elishinyeneyo elinevumba elingaqhelekanga leyeza elithile eliphuma enxebeni.
UMax, ephelelwe lithemba loncedo lweqabane lakhe, wema, ebambelele eludongeni ngononophelo, wabhadula ecaleni komjikelezo, enethemba lokufumana indlela yokuphuma.
- Ndixelele, uDenis Kaisanov: uyawazonda amaMartians? - URuslan wabuza ngelizwi elifanayo lobusi, eshukumisa igazi kwiminwe yakhe.
- Ndiyayicaphukela, yintoni ke? Abayikhathalelanga inzondo yam.
- Hayi, sinyanzelekile ukuba sibulale abantu ngaphandle kweetshiphusi kwaye oku kunzulu kakhulu kune-firmware eqhelekileyo. Oku kuthetha ukuba kukho isoyikiso esifihlakeleyo emntwini.
"Ucinga ukuba ungaphakathi kum, uxolo, balibele ukundixelela ngayo."
"Akunamsebenzi, akukho mntu unokuqikelela ukuba umsonto wobomi uya kukhokelela phi kwaye uya kugqabhuka phi." Imimoya iyathetha nam, yathembisa ukuba kungekudala ndiza kudibana notshaba lokwenene.
“Dan,” watsho uMax, “kubonakala ngathi itshiphu yam iyaphila.”
“UMax ukwayinxalenye yenkqubo,” wasebeza uRuslan, “awunakumthemba, awunakuthemba mntu.” Uya kuba wedwa ngokupheleleyo, akukho mntu uya kukunceda, wonke umntu uya kukungcatsha, kwaye nabani na ongakungcatshiyo uya kufa, kwaye awuyi kufumana nto njengomvuzo ukuba ukwazi ukuphumelela. Zonke iindlela ezithembisa ingeniso zibubuxoki, ukuze ulahlekiswe kukuphela kwenyaniso. Uya kuba wedwa ngokuchasene nenkqubo yonke, kodwa ulithemba lethu lokugqibela. Ungalibali ukujonga uGustav Kilby. Ndikunqwenelela ithamsanqa kumzabalazo wakho ongenathemba.
"Enkosi, ewe, ngesithembiso sokulwa nehlabathi liphela, kodwa ndiza kuzifumanela enye indlela elula."
- Ndajonga emphefumlweni wakho, uDenis Kaisanov. Uya kulwa.
URuslan wancuma ngovuyo wakhwela wabuyela kwisitya. Wasonga izandla zakhe esifubeni waza wajonga eluphahleni ngeyona mbonakalo imsulwa. UMax wabaleka enyuka ngasemva, engekapholi ngokupheleleyo, waqala ke ukusika izangqa ezizidenge ejikeleze uRuslan oleleyo, ngelixa elila:
- Dan, yintoni esihogweni kwenzeka apha. Bendikhwaza, kutheni ungacelanga uncedo? Ngubani ojike irobhothi ... E-my, kwenzeka ntoni kuGrig!?
"Nantso into eyenzekayo, Max: nina basebenzi bonxibelelwano ngefowuni nenze umsebenzi omhle ngamajoni enu."
“Ruslan, khawuleza uxele okwenzekileyo apha,” wabuza uMax ebambekile.
"UGrig wabucala uphumile kulawulo, kuye kwafuneka ndimenze buthathaka." Unobangela wesi sehlo akaziwa. Ingxelo igqityiwe.
“Max, yeka ukuba sisidenge, fowunela uncedo kakade,” wacebisa uDenis.
- Ngoku.
UMax uphume engxamile epasejini okwembumbulu. UDenis, engayihoyi yonke isilumkiso, wathembela kuRuslan oxokayo waza wakhwaza:
- Kulungile, ndisenokuba lutshaba, kodwa kutheni ungandibulalanga? Ukuba unayo inkqubo enjalo - ukubulala abantu ngaphandle chips.
“Bandishiya inkululeko yokuzikhethela.”
"Kutheni into engaqhelekanga ngathi ufuna inkululeko yokuzikhethela?"
"Ngenxa yokuba kufuneka ndibandezeleke, kwaye kuphela abo banenkululeko yokuzikhethela abanokubandezeleka."
UDenis walandela uMax epasejini. Engakhathali nokucoceka kwendawo, wakhupha icuba waqhwanyaza ilighter. Izandla zam bezisangcangcazela, isandla sam sokunene esophukileyo naso sasiqaqamba ngokubonakalayo. “Ngoku bekungayi kuba buhlungu ukurhabula iwhiskey. Iindondo ezimbalwa,” wacinga njalo. Isihlwele esingxolayo esinoMax entloko sasisele sigxalathelana ukuya kuye; UDenis wazicinezela eludongeni ukuze angadilizwa; irobhothi encinci ikhubekile phantsi konyawo lwakhe.
UDenis wala uncedo lwezonyango. Ekuphela komnqweno wakhe yayikukushiya iziko lophando lasebusuku ngokukhawuleza, lizaliswe ngababulali abangenalusini ababekulungele ngaphandle kokuthandabuza ukukrazula nayiphi na intloko eyayingasindwa zixhobo zombane. Xa ebuyela kwigumbi lenkomfa, uLeo wayesele evumile noLapin ukuba iprotocol iya kusayinwa kamva. Wonke umntu wahlala ezolile, ngokungathi akuzange kwenzeke nto. UMax ukhe wanyamalala ndaweni ithile, kucaca ukuba unuka ijoint yakhe. UDenis wayengenawo nomkhuhlane. Kuphela xa babesele belindele inqwelo-ntaka eqongeni phambi kwesakhiwo esikhulu, uLeo wathi cwaka wathabatha uDenis ngengqiniba wamsa ecaleni.
— Denis, ndiyathemba ukuba uya kulwamkela uxolo lwam olunzulu egameni lombutho wethu kunye nam ngokobuqu ngento eyenzekileyo. Le yingozi engenangqondo, uGrieg akalawuleki, amanyathelo sele ethathiwe.
- Cinga nje, nantoni na inokwenzeka. Kodwa oku akuyongozi, uGrieg wenza ngokungqongqo ngokuhambelana ne-firmware yakho.
“Dan, nceda, masingafukami inzondo.” Ewe, uMax sisidenge esinqabileyo, bekufanele ukuba ufunde imiyalelo eyimfihlo ngaphambi kokutsala abahlobo bakhe besikolo ukuba bajonge amajoni aphezulu.
- Imfihlo? Oko kukuthi, oku akukho kwimiyalelo eqhelekileyo.
"Uyaqonda ukuba izinto ezinjalo azibhalwanga kumaxwebhu akhoyo okanye afumaneka esidlangalaleni."
- Abafana abangenazo iitshiphusi abayi kuyixabisa?
- Iibhukhimakhi ezifihlakeleyo kwinkqubo ziya kuba nefuthe elibi kwiintengiso. Ngokuchanekileyo, akusiyo ibhukumaka, yinto nje ..., kodwa Dan, ndikholelwe, oku akubhekiselwanga kuwe konke. Kule mihla, ukudibana nomntu ngaphandle kwetshiphu yinto enqabileyo engakholelekiyo, kwaye kuye ukuba ngequbuliso aphele kwindawo angafanele abe ngaphaya kwemida.
- Ayilawulwa? Kwaye xa bekhululwa ukuba badlale, ungandinika ingcebiso?
- Awusoze udibane nabo kwakhona. Kwi-INKIS abayi kubavumela ukuba basondele kuwe, ndiyathembisa. Awunalo nofifi lokuba ubunkokeli bukaMartian bunokugcinwa njani. Ukuba kukho iodolo ye-mossy ukusuka kwikhulu leminyaka eyadlulayo, ngokuqinisekileyo baya kuyityhala kuyo yonke indawo.
-Owu, ngoku, icacile, imalunga ne-mossy Martian bureaucracy.
- Dan, makhe sibe ngabantu abanengqiqo. Yintoni eya kutshintsha ukuba uqala ukukhala kuzo zonke iikona malunga nendlela iTelecom ebakhulisa ngayo ababulali emhadini? Ngaba unethemba lokwaphula umdlalo wequmrhu laseMartian? Kuzoba worse ke wonke umntu, baqale baniphambanise ngegeza ledolophu.
"Wonke umntu uthi xa efuna ukufihla into."
- Ewe, ngokomgaqo, ewe, kodwa kwelinye icala, bahlala bethetha ngokuchanekileyo. Ngendlela, isiphakamiso esenziwa nguMax sisasebenza. Ndikulungele nokumxhasa. Uya kufumana i-chip elungileyo kunye naziphi na iikhosi zobuchwephesha ozikhethileyo ngeendleko zeofisi, ukwenzela ukuba ugweme iimeko eziphindaphindiweyo, ngoko kuthetha. Akunyanzelekanga nokuba uhlale kwiTelecom, yiya naphi na apho ufuna khona. Esi siphakamiso kufuneka silungele wonke umntu.
- Ndiza kucinga.
UDenis ukhumbula oku: “Zonke iindlela ezithembisa ingeniso zibubuxoki, ezenzelwe ukukulahlekisela ekubeni uphambuke ekuphela kokwenyaniso.” “Yhuu, kwakunganelanga ukukholelwa kwiintsomi zale ntsomi. Makahlupheke ngaphandle kwam.
- Ukuba kukho into engakufanelanga, musa ukuba neentloni, thetha. Ngokuqinisekileyo siya kuyamkela iminqweno efanelekileyo.
- Siza kuhlala, Leo.
- Ngoko, savumelana?
- Ewe, phantse ... Ndimele ndithini kuLapin nabanye?
- Akukho mfuneko yokuba uthethe nantoni na. Ubuncokola nomhlobo wasesikolweni, wakuthatha wayokubonisa indawo asebenza kuyo. Kwaye yiloo nto, awuzange ubone nawaphi na amajoni aphezulu. Malunga nesandla, ukuba kukho nantoni na: Ndawa apho, ndatyibilika.
— Ayinabungozi.
“Kuhle kakhulu,” uLeo wazivumela uncumo olubanzi, nolwaneliseko. - Yiya kwi "DreamLand", xa uthatha isigqibo.
“Yima, umbuzo omnye omncinci: kutheni uye wantywiliselwa ngokupheleleyo ngokungaqhelekanga,” wakhumbula ngokukhawuleza uDenis.
- Ngaba akazange aqonde?
Uyakhumbula xa wawujoyina abanye ekuntywilisweni ngokupheleleyo emva kwencoko yethu enomdla kakhulu malunga ne-phobias kunye nekamva loluntu? Kwakubonakala ngathi ufakwe kwinyani yenyani, kwaye ndim kuphela oyibonayo.
- Bakubetha entloko emva koko? Uqinisekile ukuba awufuni kumbona ugqirha? -U-Leo uhombise ishiya lakhe lasekhohlo kakuhle. Andiyiqondi kakuhle into ozama ukuyithetha, kodwa ucinga ukuba bendibhideke kakhulu kwaye ndenze iskripthi kwimizuzwana emithathu ukuze ndikugculele.
“Ke, ujike wandijonga...,” waphendula uDenis engaqinisekanga. -Andazi, mhlawumbi kuzo zonke iinkqubo zakho kukho ukhetho olukhethekileyo: ukoyikisa i-neurophobe endwendwelayo.
- Thatha usuku lokuphumla, ingcebiso yam kuwe.
“Ngokuqinisekileyo,” uDenis wawangawangisa isandla sakhe ecaphuka.
Kubonakala ngathi umoya sele uphazamisekile ngokupheleleyo, akukho ndawo yokuwohloka. Kodwa kwakusengathi ndichukunyiswe sisithunzi esibandayo ebusweni bam. Ukhetho lubuhlungu: mhlawumbi i-glitches iqalile, okanye i-amoeba elambileyo ihleli ematyholweni. "Enoba uHans uyahleka iesile, siza kubambelela kolu khetho," utshilo uDenis.
Urhatya lwasekwindla olupholileyo lwajikelisa iphiko lalo kwizityalo zepaki, nto leyo ebangela ukuba izithunzi ezinobomi be-telecom nightmares zidade zijikeleze isiqwenga esikhanyisiweyo. Izilo ezikhulu ze-Knobby, ii-octopus zentsimbi kunye ne-amoeba elambileyo - yonke into ixutywe ekukhanyeni okukhohlisayo kwezibane. Kwavakala isandi senqwelo-ntaka isiza.
Ngalo lonke ixesha ebuyayo, uLapin wagxwala ngendlela awayemkhulu ngayo umhlobo wakhe uDan kwiingxoxo. U-Anton, ebukele lo mboniso, wada wamuncu. UDenis wancuma ngamandla akhe.
"Undimise ngokwenene, Max," wacinga, "i-Arumov ayanele kum, kungekhona nje ukuba waphantse wabulawa, kodwa ndabandakanyeka ngokunzulu kwiimfihlo ezinzulu zomnye wamashishini anamandla aseMartian. Abazondishiya ndizulazula ehlabathini nengxowa yempahla yabo emdaka. Awunakukwazi ukubatsalela ngeetshiphusi kunye nezifundo; baya kuyicombulula le ngxaki ngenye indlela. Kwaye yena ngokwakhe, ngokuqinisekileyo, ulungile: kutheni isihogo kufuneka siye apho singaceli khona. Ewe, ndandifuna ukujonga amajoni aphezulu. Ndingathanda ukuya kumyezo wezilwanyana ndiyojonga indlovu, sidengendini.” Kwaye kwakungakhululeki ngokupheleleyo ekuqondeni ukuba inkqubo yokubulala abantu ngaphandle kweetshiphusi yayifakwe nzima kuwo onke amajoni amakhulu. Mhlawumbi ayibhekiswanga ngokuthe ngqo kuye, kodwa yalungiswa, umzekelo, ngokuchasene neBloc yaseMpuma. Kodwa ukuba u-lieutenant utyunyuzwe ngengozi phantsi kwe-steamroller, akukho mntu uya kulila. Kwakungemnandanga ukuqonda ukuba ndandisisinambuzane esinovelwano, esingakwaziyo ukuzikhusela esasiza kunyathelwa nje ngaphandle komdlalo omkhulu wamaqumrhu.
Ihelikopta, iphakamise ilifu lenkunkuma eyomileyo, yakhwela kuphahla lwe-INKIS.
-Ngaba uyeza, Dan? – wabuza uLapin.
- Hayi, ndiza kuma ndize ndifumane umoya. Yayilusuku olunzima.
- Makhe sikubone ngomso. Ngokuqinisekileyo ndiya kuqaphela indima yakho ekhethekileyo kwiingxoxo.
-Ungakhathazeki, ndizokubona ngomso.
Bathi bakunyamalala oogxa bakhe, uDenis waphinda waya emaphethelweni waza wema phezu kongqameko ngokungenaloyiko. Ukujonga kweli cala kwakungemnandanga: iindawo ezilahliweyo ezibiyelwe ngeebhloko zamatye kunye neekhoyili zocingo oluhlabayo. Nangona kungekho mntu uhlala khona ngokusemthethweni, apho kwakukho iintlobo ezininzi zezihange, amakhoboka eziyobisi kunye nabantu abangenamakhaya, kwaye oku kwakungeyonto yabantu, kuba ngophuhliso lobuchwepheshe obuphezulu kwaba lula ukulahlekelwa yimbonakalo yomntu. Abaphathi, njengoLeo Schultz, bahlawula imali eninzi kuzo zonke iintlobo zotshintsho oluluncedo kunye nokufakelwa, ubomi obude kunye nempilo epheleleyo. Abanye abazange bahlawule nto, kodwa basalufumana olu phuculo. Kufuneka kuqala sibavavanye “kumavolontiya”. Ukuba uyamamela, ngamanye amaxesha kwakuvakala isikhalo esilusizi ematyotyombeni, nto leyo eyayibangela ukuba igazi lakho ligodole. Kwaye ngexesha lokwakhiwa kweziko, le ndawo yayikhangeleka ihloniphekile. Mhlawumbi oosomajukujuku kunye neentsapho zabo bade bahlala apha ngelixa iphupha leenqwelomoya eziya ezinkwenkwezini lalisaphila.
Ecaleni kobutyobo kunye neecingo, zigobe ngokuzulisayo, zolule iiribhoni ezimbini zikaloliwe, ecaleni komnye wabo uloliwe wacotha ukukhasa. Kwakubonakala ngathi uqhuba kufutshane kakhulu. UDenis wayekuva ukungxola kweendlela zakudala kunye nokukhala, ukugoqoza kwamavili, okwakunkenteza ezindlebeni zakhe ixesha elide xa uloliwe wayesele ejike wayinkungu elundini phayaa. Wayephantse abubone ubuso babantu abahleli ngaphakathi, okanye kunoko, wayesazi nje ukuba obu buso bumele bube bunjani: budakumbile, budiniwe, bujonge kalusizi loo ndawo ibuthuntu. Ngesizathu esithile, uDenis wayebamonela aba bantu bangonwabanga kakhulu abanokuthi bahlale ngasefestileni kwinqwelo enomsindo, enomsindo kwaye bangacingi nantoni na. Jonga iindawo zokugcina umhlwa ezingenasiphelo, imibhobho, iipali ezidadayo ezidlulayo, iindlela ezaphukileyo kunye nemizi-mveliso eshiyiweyo ekungekho mntu ebeyidinga kangangexesha elide. Kungekudala, le mbonakalo yedolophu ifayo iya kuthatyathelw’ indawo yenye. Ngexesha uloliwe eshiya idolophu yaseMoscow, ngabantu abambalwa kuphela abaya kuhlala kwikhareji, belele okanye bafunde i-tabloid press kwiikona ezahlukeneyo. Kwaye ke akuyi kubakho mntu useleyo, kwaye uDenis uya kuhamba yedwa. Uya kuba ngowokugqibela ukutsibela kwiqonga elingenagama, elaphukileyo elenziwe ngekhonkrithi endala eliwa phantsi kweenyawo. Uya kujonga umgca wokuhamba kaloliwe, ajonge ihlathi elishinyeneyo, aphulaphule incoko yawo nomoya olula aze aye naphi na apho amehlo akhe amthabatha khona. Kwaye ekupheleni kwendlela ngokuqinisekileyo uya kuyifumana into awayeyifuna, yinto nje ebuhlungu ukuba uDenis ngokwakhe wayengazi ukuba yintoni kanye kanye wayefuna ukuyifumana.
- Molo, Lenochka. Icomo estas?
UDenis ngononophelo wahlala phantsi emphethweni wetafile phambi konobhala ka-Arumov, enevumba elimnandi kwaye egqobhokile, enxibe iblouse enefashoni kunye nesiketi kumda wokuziphatha okuhle, efaka iifom zakhe ezibalaseleyo. Nangona ukuba usondela ngengqondo evulekileyo, ubugcisa beefom zakhe kwabonakala kuphela kwabo babemazi ixesha elide, umzekelo, esikolweni, njengoDan. Uxanduva lwakhe olungekho sikweni ngokunxulumene nobunkokeli, ukongeza kwisiphithiphithi sokugqibela semiyalelo ebisele ingeyiyo ilungileyo kobu bunkokeli, yayingeyomfihlo nakubani na. Ngaxa lithile, uDenis wade wazama ukumunca kuye: wayenxibe iintyatyambo kunye neetshokholethi, enethemba lokuphucula imeko yakhe yomsebenzi, kodwa waqonda ukuba kubonakala kulusizi kwaye wayeka.
"Imicimbi yam iqhelekile," uLenochka wazama ukutyhala ngononophelo uDenis etafileni ukuze angonakalisi ivanishi yokomisa, "kodwa eyakho, ibonakala ngathi ayilunganga." Ukwazile ukwenza ntoni?
- U-Arumov akakho kwimeko entle?
"Kuyinto nje ephazamisayo, kwaye ngokucacileyo inento yokwenza nawe."
- Ewe, mhlawumbi ungaya kuye kuqala kwaye ukhulule uxinzelelo?
“Iyahlekisa kakhulu,” uLenochka wenza ubuso obuzidlayo, “masithobe ingxabano namhlanje njengenkwenkwe ebethayo.” Andizuphinda ndiye kuye.
- Ngaba yonke into embi kangaka?
- Ewe, ikrwada ngokwenene, uyamamela into endiyithethayo.
- Ewe, ubuncinane ubeke igama kum.
- Hayi, Denchik, hayi ngeli xesha. Uyazi, andithandi xa endijonge ngolo hlobo aze athule, njengentlanzi efuthayo.
“Ewe, le yinkunkuma ngokwenene,” wacinga njalo uDenis, “kwaye ngokucacileyo inxulumene nohambo lwayizolo oluya kweli ziko libi kangaka.”
- Yiza, hamba sele. Ngendikuthumele kwangoko, ndingancokoli apha...
"Ke, uhambe kakuhle, ukhale xa bendisa kwibhanti ye-asteroid."
-Owu, Denchik, ayihlekisi kwaphela.
"Owu, Lenochka," wacinga uDenis, "isidenge, kunjalo, kodwa sihle ... Bekufanele ukuba ndithathe umngcipheko kwaye ndikucinezele kwindawo ethile kwikona emnyama, kubonakala ngathi ndiza kufa."
U-Arumov, njengoko kulindelekile, walala ngokunyanzela kwisitulo esimnyama sesikhumba kwaye akazange avume ukunqwala intloko yakhe kumntu omtsha. Kufutshane netafile enkulu emile okwe-T enomgca oluhlaza phakathi kwakukho isitulo esinye kuphela, siphantsi kwaye singakhululekanga. UDenis kwafuneka akhethe kwizitulo ezisedongeni. Wacinga ngomzuzwana ukuba ngaba uya kumcaphukisa u-Arumov aze ahlale apho kufuphi nodonga, njengomgca wekliniki, kodwa wagqiba ekubeni kwakungafanelekanga. Kwanele ukuba abe nesibindi sokukhetha ifenitshala eyayingajoliswanga kuye.
Ukuthula kwaqhubela phambili, kwaye okubi ngakumbi, uArumov, ngaphandle kweentloni, wajonga kumphathi wakhe kwaye wanezothe. UDan wazama ukujonga amehlo akhe, kodwa akazange agqibe nokuba yimizuzwana emibini. Akukho mntu wayenokumelana nalo mbono ungaqhwanyaziyo ungaphiliyo.
— Ngaba ukhe wafowuna, uQabane Colonel? - UDenis wanikezela.
Kwaye kwakhona ukuthula okubuhlungu. “Isibhanxa siyazi ukuba ukulinda kubi kunokubulawa ngokwako,” wacinga njalo uDan, kodwa kwakhona akazange akwazi ukukunyamezela oko.
- Ngaba ungathanda ukuthetha?
- Ngaba kufuneka sithethe? -U-Arumov wabuza ngeyona toni ihlekisayo. - Hayi, uLieutenant, bendiza kukukhupha ngaphandle kwamasango ale ndawo.
UDenis wenza umzamo ongakholelekiyo kwaye wajonga ebusweni bekoloneli, nangona kunjalo, ekuphepha ngononophelo ukujonga kwakhe.
- Ke ndingaya?
Kodwa umphathi-mkhosi akazange akhohliswe ngamaqhinga akhe ngokuwathi krwaqu nje.
"Uza kuhamba emva kokuba undicacisele ukuba kutheni uzenzela ishishini lakho."
— Ngaba lowo yayingumbuzo buciko? Leliphi ishishini endingena kulo?
- Ucelomngeni?! – uArumov wafutha. - Ewe, yayingumbuzo onobuqhetseba, ukuba awuyi kuphuma ngokugxotha ngokulula, ke, ngokuqinisekileyo, akufanele uphendule.
“Kwaphantse kwabakho izoyikiso ezivulekileyo. Ngokwenene, yinkunkuma. – Denis feverishly waqwalasela le meko. -Yintoni eyamenza wanomsindo? Olu hambo ludlakadlaka nje, kuba uLapin ligeza! Beka igama elihle kunye nabaphathi. Ewe, ngokuqinisekileyo uLapin okanye uAnton. Zombini, ukuba uyazicinezela, ziya kuthetha into enje, awuzukukwazi ukuyihlamba."
"Akukho mfuneko yokuba undijonge ngamehlo enja, ngokungathi awunanto yakwenza nayo." Omnye wamaqabane akho uye wabila apha yonke intsasa waza wafunga kunina ukuba nguLieutenant Kaysanov othile "wenza isivumelwano" kunye noGqr Schultz ukuze ahlehlise ukusayinwa kwenkqubo yentlanganiso kunye namanye amaxwebhu abalulekileyo. - U-Arumov akazange aphuze ukuqinisekisa uloyiko lwakhe olubi malunga noogxa bakhe.
— Amanye amaxwebhu?
"Amanye amaxwebhu," walinganisa uArumov, "kwaye wena, ndiyabona, awuzange uyiqonde le meko konke konke ngaphambi kokuba ungene kuyo ngempumlo ye-lieutenant yakho." Amaxwebhu aphambili emali awasayinwanga, uSchultz akaphenduli, kuthiwa wahamba uhambo lwezoshishino. Bendinethemba elikhulu ngale projekthi kwaye kuye kwavela ukuba yonke into iyahamba ngenxa yakho.
- Ewe, oku akunakubakho. Kutheni isihogo Schultz uya kundiphulaphula?! Ukuba uthatha isigqibo sokutsiba, sisigqibo sakhe.
- Ke nam ndiyazibuza ukuba kutheni isihogo ... Ubuthetha ngantoni naye?!
- Ewe, malunga nantoni na, babesela nje kwaye bethetha ngezihloko ezingabonakaliyo.
- Yeka ukwenza ngathi isidenge. Thetha ngqo, mfekethisi! “UArumov wakhonkotha kakhulu kangangokuba iifestile zangcangcazela. – Wathetha ngantoni naye? Ucinga ntoni, uLieutenant, ungazenza iqhawe apha?! Ngaba ucinga ukuba akukho nto yaziwayo ngemisebenzi yakho yangaphambili? Ewe, ndiyazi yonke into ngawe: indlela ohlala ngayo, ngubani othandana naye, kangaphi ngeveki ubiza umama wakho eFinland!
U-Arumov waba nomsindo omkhulu, wajika waba bomvu, watsiba esitulweni sakhe, wajikeleza phezu kukaDenis waza waqhubeka ekhwaza ebusweni bakhe.
- Wena, u-lieutenant, ukhona apho kum kunye notata kuphela! Ekuphela kwento ekufuneka uyenzile kukuthumela igqabi ukusuka kule folda ukuya kwindawo elungileyo, kwaye ixesha lokugqibela uya kubona isibhakabhaka esichekiweyo sikwi-cosmodrome! Ifikelela kuwe okanye hayi! Okanye wena nightingale, ucula kuphela xa ungabuzwanga!
Ucango lwavuleka ngocoselelo, kwaye uLenochka wangqiyama ngocoselelo kwindawo emxinwa, elungele ukuzimela ngoko nangoko.
- Andrei Vladimirovich, bevela kwimpahla apho ...
U-Arumov wamjonga ngenkangeleko ephambene ngokupheleleyo.
"Uxolo ngokukuphazamisa, mhlawumbi unokufumana itiye okanye ikofu ..." ULenochka wayelahlekelwe ngokupheleleyo.
- Yintoni i-fuck ngeti, yiya emsebenzini.
ULenochka wanyamalala kwangoko, kodwa uArumov naye wabonakala ephole kancinci. UDenis wosula ngocoselelo ukubila okusebunzi lakhe: “Hewu, kubonakala ukuba akanakundibulala ngokobuqu. Lo msebenzi uza kuwuphathisa oochwephesha bamathambo, kodwa kunjalo, Lenochka, enkosi, andizukuyilibala le nto ukuba ndiyasinda.”
“Uyazi, uLieutenant,” uArumov waphinda waphumla esihlalweni sakhe, “Ndiza kukuxelela ibali elinye elifundisayo: malunga nomntu endisebenza naye owayethanda ukukhathalela ishishini lakhe.” Ngaba unokuthelekelela ukuba yaphela njani?
- Kuyabonakala ukuba yaphela kakubi.
- Ewe, kubi. Kwaye kwakubi kakhulu ... akukho mntu wayelindele ukuba ingenzeka ngolu hlobo. Ngokubanzi, malunga nokufana neyakho.
- Ewe, ibali lam alikapheli.
U-Arumov akazange aphendule, wacaphuka kwakhona, ngokukhawuleza waphosa iinyawo zakhe etafileni waza wakhupha icuba.
- Uyatshaya?
- Kuphela xa ndinovalo. Ngoku andifuni nto.
U-Arumov wancwina kancinci waphefumla kwicuba.
- Ewe, bendinomntu endisebenza naye, masimbize ngokuba nguCaptain Petrov. Enyanisweni, akazange andithobele ngokuthe ngqo, kodwa ndandizama ukumthoba maxa wambi. Kungenjalo, wayeligorha elinjalo: umfundi ogqwesileyo kuqeqesho lokulwa, uyise kumajoni kunye nentloko ebuhlungu kubo bonke abalawuli. Akazange afune, uyabona, ukuzithoba kwinkqubo ebolileyo, kwaye kutheni, umntu uyazibuza, waba ligosa? Kwaye ukuba kukho into eyenzekayo, akazange azame, njengabo bonke abantu, ukuvala umcimbi, hayi, ngokukhawuleza wabika phezulu, wayefuna ukuba yonke into ilungile. Ke wena uyawazi apho ukhoyo umthetho, nalapho ubulungisa bukhoyo. Kwaye ngenxa yakhe, izikhombisi zethu zawa. Kwezinye iiyunithi, yonke into ikhuselekile, kodwa apha sine-hazing, umlilo, okanye amaxwebhu ayimfihlo alahlekileyo. Ngokubanzi, hayi iyunithi yomkhosi engumzekelo, kodwa uhlobo oluthile lwentente yesekisi. Kwakusekho ixesha elinjalo ngoko, umoya wenkululeko waphinda waphefumlelwa kwindawo ethile ngaphesheya kwe-Atlantic puddle. Besiza kubhabha siye ezinkwenkwezini ngezimpundu. Kodwa oko kulungile, uPetrov wethu wayengenanjongo yokubhabha naphi na, kodwa wayesele egcwele ezi ngcamango ziyingozi. Kwaye ke ngenye imini beza nesikhongozeli esincinci seetoni ezi-5 kwiyunithi yethu baza bayalela ukuba sigcinwe kwindawo yokugcina iimpahla kwaye sikhuseleke njengokhozo lweliso lethu, kwaye oko kwakukwisikhongozeli yayingeyonto yethu. Kwaye akukho maxwebhu ngokwenene, kodwa wayekhatshwa ngulo mfo ungwevu, ungabonakali, kwaye wathi ukuba i-container ilale ngaphandle kwamaxwebhu, akukho nto inobungozi okanye, uThixo akanayo, i-radioactive ngaphakathi, kodwa kwakungavunyelwe. ukuyivula phantsi kwayo nayiphi na imeko kwaye ungathethi ngayo iyimfuneko. Kwaye emva koko, bonke abantu abahlakaniphile bayaqonda ukuba amadoda amancinci ama-grey kufuneka athotyelwe, ukuba athi ukugcina ngaphandle kwamaxwebhu, ngoko kuyimfuneko ukugcina. Ukuba bathi ikhuselekile, kulungile, ikhuselekile. Kodwa uPetrov akazange akholelwe indoda engwevu. Ndeva ngesi sikhongozeli sisuka kwenye indawo ndamana ndisijikeleza, ndiphunga, ndiphethe izixhobo ezahlukeneyo, ndilinganisa amasimi. Umphathi wethu, ewe, wayenexhala ngayo yonke into, kodwa wayengafuni ukwenza isidenge sikaPetrov aze amkhuphele kumadoda amancinci angwevu. Fool Petrov, qhubeka kwaye wazise umyalelo wesithili malunga nesi sikhongozeli. Kwaye nantsi into, amadoda amancinci angama-grey awavumeli nabani na ukuba angene kwimicimbi yabo, nokuba ungumlawuli we-brigade okanye umlawuli wesithili, abaniki nto malunga nayo. Ngokubanzi, ikhomishini yangena kwiyunithi yethu, utata wayetyhala, ebaleka, kodwa khange akwazi ukucacisa ukuba yayiluhlobo luni lwesikhongozeli. Kwaye umlawuli wesithili naye wafana noPetrov: "Luhlobo luni lwengwevu"?! - uyakhwaza. - "Ndiligosa lokulwa, zonke ndizijikelezile kwibhena yegosa lam!" Yaye iyalela: “Vula isitya”! Kodwa amagosa ethu onke angamadoda akhaliphileyo, ukuba kuya kufuneka ubambene ngezandla ngokuchasene nemipu yotshaba, kodwa ukugqogqa iipokotho zamadoda amancinci angwevu sisizathu. Ngokubanzi, isithili sagqiba ekubeni sizithathele sona esi sikhongozeli. Bamkhwelisa kwinqwelwana baza bamgxotha. Ungaqikelela ukuba ngubani obesikhapha kwiyunithi yethu?
- UCaptain Petrov?
- UCaptain Petrov, wena osisidenge. Ukuba ubunguye ngewuqala ukugila le container damn.
- Khapha? Yintoni engalunganga, ivaliwe.
"Kuvaliwe, kodwa kwavela ukuba bamthathile ngenxa kaPetrov, kwaye wayesecaleni kwakhe ixesha elide." Uyazi, andinakuze ndifike kumgama wekhilomitha yento enje, kukho into engaqhelekanga ngayo ukuba wonke umntu ontliziyo yakhe yokuzigcina engazange yome ngokupheleleyo wayijikeleza kwi-arc ende. Kwaneendlela zokulinda zabalindi zatshintshwa, kwaye ngenxa yoku unokucaphuka kakhulu. Ngoko ke, umphathi wethu wayizisa isitya, yaye kubonakala ngathi wonk’ ubani wayelibele ngako. Andazi ukuba isithili sijongane njani naye, kodwa wonke umntu wasala emva kwethu. Kuphela ngoku umphathi wajonga phantsi. Uhamba ngathi ubilisiwe, unezangqa phantsi kwamehlo akhe, waxabene kakhulu nomfazi wakhe, kwaze kwathi ngenye imini wahlala phantsi wasela nathi, wanxila, oku kuthetha ukuba waqala ukuluka izinto ezinjalo. Sacinga ukuba, yiyo loo nto, iPetrov yethu yaphambana. Uthi andizange ndingene kwikhonteyina, kwaye andizange ndiyibambe, kodwa ngoku ndiphupha ngayo rhoqo ebusuku. Rhoqo ebusuku, uthi, ndisondela kwindawo yokugcina impahla ndibone ukuba ikhonteyina ivuliwe, yaye ndivakalelwa kukuba kukho umntu ondijongileyo elinde ukuba ndisondele. Kwaye andibonakali ndifuna ukuya, kodwa iyanditsalela apho. Ndime, ndijonge kwisitya esivulekileyo, kwaye kukho indawo yokugcina impahla engenanto, kwaye ndiyazi ukuba akukho mntu kumakhulu eekhilomitha ngeenxa zonke, ndim kuphela kunye nento ehlala kwisitya. Kwaye ndiyaqonda ukuba eli liphupha, kodwa ndiyazi ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba xa ndingena kwisitya, andiyi kubuya, nokuba ephupheni okanye ngokwenene. Kwaye, uthi, wayedla ngokuphupha malunga nesi sikhongozeli kanye ngeveki malunga nemizuzu emihlanu, kwaye sekunjalo wayevuka ebila ebanda. Kwaye ke ndaqala ukuphupha ngayo rhoqo ebusuku, ixesha elide nangaphezulu. Kwaye ke, ngokukhawuleza emva kokuvala amehlo akhe, wambona ngokukhawuleza kwaye, okona kubaluleke kakhulu, akazange akwazi ukuvuka, umfazi wakhe wamva ekhala ebuthongweni waza wamvusa. Waya kubo bonke oogqirha namaxhwele, kodwa abazange bafumane nto. Kwaye ke kwaba kubi kakhulu, wazakhela isixhobo esinye, wadibanisa i-stun gun kwiwotshi ye-alarm, wabeka i-alamu imizuzu elishumi waza walala, kwaye ukothuka kwawuphakamisa ukuze angakwazi ukungena kwisitya. Kwaye ngoko ubusuku bonke. Kodwa, uyaqonda, awuyi kuhlala ixesha elide kule modi. Oogqirha abalungileyo bamthabatha umphathi wethu baza bamtofa umthamo omkhulu wezithomalalisi zokuthomalalisa ukuze alale ngendlela eqhelekileyo. Kwaye uyazi, walala ubusuku bonke ngaphandle kwemilenze yakhe yangasemva, kwaye ngentsasa elandelayo yonke into yayimkile. Uhamba enezidlele kwaye onwabile, kodwa kuphela wonke umntu osivileyo izityhilelo zakhe ezinxilileyo ngoku waqala ukumjikeleza kwi-arc ubude beekhilomitha. Ewe basihleka kodwa saqhubeka sajikeleza. Kwaye ke abantu baqala ukunyamalala kwindawo ejikelezileyo. Okokuqala enye, zimbini, ke, xa babesele bengaphaya kwamashumi amabini eminyaka, wonke umntu waqalisa ukucinga ukuba kukho i-maniac. Kodwa andizange ndithandabuze nakancinci ukuba yayingubani igeza lethu. Bobabini umfazi kunye nabantwana bakaPetrov abazange babonwe ixesha elide. Ngenxa yoko, saqala ukumlandela kwaye kwavela ukuba uya kwigaraji yakhe yonke imihla. Kwaye siyambulela uThixo kuba singanyukanga apho, amadoda angwevu ayephambi kwethu. Bayigqume le igaraji ngekepusi etywiniweyo, kwaye wonke umntu owayehlala kumgama oziikhilomitha zale garaji wanyanzelwa ukuba avalelwe yedwa, kuquka nathi. Ngokufutshane, sonke sazibhuqa ngokupheleleyo ngelixa sasihleli kule quarantine. Akukho mntu wayenethemba lokuphuma ephila, bonke abalindi kunye noogqirha babenxibe kuphela umgangatho ophezulu wokhuselo lwekhemikhali, amanzi kunye nokutya kwakushiyelwe kuthi kwi-airlock emithathu.
- Ngoko bafumene ntoni egaraji? Izidumbu ezingamashumi amabini?
- Hayi, bafumana khona oko wasondla ezi zidumbu.
- Kwaye yintoni leyo?
- Andazi, balibale ukusixelela.
-Uxolo, uQabane Colonel, kodwa ndibhidekile: yintoni isimilo kweli bali?
- Kuwe, ukuziphatha oku kulandelayo: musa ukukhupha impumlo yakho kwishishini labanye abantu kwaye ukhumbule ukuba yonke into inokuphelisa kakubi kakhulu kunokuba ulindele.
- Sukuphosa impumlo yakho kwishishini lomntu.
- Ngoko uthetha ngantoni noLeo Schultz?
- Malunga ne-chip yam, okanye kunoko, malunga nokungabikho kwayo. Lo Leo yindoda engaqhelekanga, wayemana ezama ukufumanisa ukuba luhlobo luni lwe-phobia endinalo malunga ne-chips.
- Ngaba awunayo i-phobia?
- Hayi, andithandi i-neurochips. EMoscow unokwenza ngaphandle kwabo.
- Ewe, kunokwenzeka eMoscow, kodwa ngakumbi kwiindawo ezinqabileyo.
- Ewe, kwezinye iindawo kunokwenzeka.
- Kulungile, uyazi njani uMaxim?
- Ngaba ayitsho kutata wakho ukuba sifunda nabo?
-Kubhaliwe, kodwa akukho nto ibhaliweyo malunga nobuhlobo bakho obuhloniphekileyo.
- Ewe, ndinabahlobo abaninzi - endifunda nabo. Sasibahlobo noMax, nangona kunjalo, emva koko waya eMars, kwaye ngandlela-thile salahleka.
-Uyaphi naye?
— Jonga kwindawo asebenzela kuyo.
- Ukuya emsebenzini? Yintoni onokuyibona apho?
- Noba kwenzekani. Kungokuba uMax ngandlel’ ithile ukuqikelela kakhulu ukubaluleka komsebenzi wakhe. Nje, jonga indlela endipholile ngayo, ndisebenza eTelecom, hayi njengawe, Dan, andizange ndiphumelele nto.
- Ngokwenene? Nangona kunjalo, kulungile, uLieutenant Kaysanov, masicinge ukuba ndiyakukholelwa. Mahala.
“Uyaphambana,” wacinga njalo uDenis, esiya ngasemnyango, “kwakubonakala ngathi ukulungele ukundibulala, kungenjalo wayekhululekile. Yintoni esihogweni le midlalo?
- Ewe, ewe, ungashiyi eMoscow naphi na. Uza kuba luncedo, ”ilizwi lika-Arumov elicaphukelayo lambamba emnyango.
- Ewe, Danchik, njani? - ULenochka wayebonakala ekhathazekile ngokunyanisekileyo ngaye, okanye yayingumnqweno wabasetyhini ongunaphakade ukuba abe ngowokuqala ukuzisa abahlobo bakhe intlebendwane yakutshanje.
— Esaphila, kodwa kuyabonakala ukuba ukubulawa kwahlehliswa.
- Wathini?
"Uthe ndisazoba luncedo." Ivakala njengesivakalisi.
Andazi, ayivakali yoyikisa kangaka.
- Lenochka, ngubani weza Arumov phambi kwam?
- Ewe, abantu abaninzi ...
— Ndithetha omnye wabalingane bam, uLapin, umzekelo?
- Ewe, uLapin weza waphuma ebila kwaye engcangcazela.
- Kwaye Anton?
- Yintoni Anton.
- Novikov, kunjalo.
- Kubonakala ukuba akunjalo, kodwa yintoni?
- Ewe, oko kunomdla. Mamela, Len, uyazi ukuba uneminyaka emingaphi uArumov?
- Uthetha ngantoni ngoku? – UHelen waphakamisa imilebe yakhe kancinci.
"Ayisiyiyo le nto ndiyithethayo, kufuneka ndiyazi ukuba ungakanani ubudala."
- Kulungile, amashumi amane ... mhlawumbi.
- Kwaye kumabali akhe kuya kubakho ngaphezulu, kodwa oh kakuhle. Enkosi Len, undincede kakhulu namhlanje.
- Ewe, nceda, musa ukunyamalala.
- Ndiza kuzama, okwangoku.
“Ewe, ebefuna ukuthini kanye kanye ngeli bali lesikhongozeli nezingwevu? Ukuba mdala kakhulu kunokuba ebonakala, okanye uyingozi kakhulu kunokuba ebonakala,” wacinga njalo uDenis.
Ehleli esitulweni esidala kwindawo asebenzela kuyo, wagqiba ekubeni azenzele iti, atshice eluphahleni aze kwangaxeshanye acinge ngemeko yakhe engathandekiyo. Imisebenzi yakhe esemthethweni yayiyinto yokugqibela awayeyikhathalele ngoku. Kwaye kwakungekho nto ibaluleke ngokwenene kule misebenzi: nje iileta ezithile, iimemo, amatyala kunye nezinye iidragi. Kufuphi, oogxa bakhe kwisebe lemisebenzi ngokuthandabuza nangokuzolileyo babonisa imisebenzi efanayo, besoloko bephazanyiswa kukuqhawuka komsi kunye nencoko engenantsingiselo. “Ewe, obu buthuntu, ubomi bobuthongo kwiiofisi ezimdaka, ewe, ayilophupha lokugqibela,” wacinga njalo uDan, “kodwa kushushu kwaye iimpukane azilumi. Kwaye kungekudala ndisenokuphulukana nale nto.” Emva kokujonga i-imeyile yakhe yobuqu, wafumana ileta evela kwinkonzo yabasebenzi beTelecom enomsebenzi. Kubonakala ngathi eli lithuba, kodwa uDenis wancwina kakhulu. “Zijikelezwe zizirhubuluzi ezivela macala onke. Kuya kufuneka sithathe isigqibo malunga nento, ukuba ndiqhubeka nokutsala njengegusha ukusuka emsebenzini ukuya ekhaya, ukuya kwindawo ye-pub nasemva, nokuba nguTelekom okanye uArumov ngokuqinisekileyo uya kundamkela. "
Eshiya umyalezo kuLapin wokuba kufuneka aphume ngokukhawuleza ngomsebenzi, uDenis wangena emotweni wagoduka. Enyanisweni, wayengayiqondi ncam into awayeza kuyenza. Hayi, wayenengcamango yokubiza uyise, mhlawumbi agijimele eFinland, akhanyise indlu yokuhlambela, axoxisane noyise ngobomi bakhe, afumane inombolo yefowuni yomfana othembekileyo ovela kwi-MIK, omnye walabo abangazange baphumelele. Emva koko ubuyele eMoscow kwaye ... kuya kwenzeka ntoni emva koko, akazange akwazi ukuqulunqa nakwizinga lokuqiqa kwekhitshi. Ngaba uya kuya kulo mfo kwaye anikele ngokudibeneyo ukuqala imfazwe ye-guerrilla ngokumelene namaMartians okanye ngokumelene ne-Arumov? Ayizukuhlekisa; enyanisweni, kwabo baphumayo abangazange bazisele de bafe basweleka, bonke kudala bazinza kwiindawo ezishushu kumaqumrhu karhulumente. Ewe, uya kuza, yonke into engenaloyiko "i-comandante", kumntu ohloniphekileyo kwi-suit, ethatha kunye nebhotile ye-cognac, kwaye ngokufanelekileyo yonke into iya kugqiba ngokusela i-banal kunye ne-kitchen chatter efanayo. Kwaye kweyona meko imbi kakhulu, baya kujija umnwe wabo etempileni yakhe kwaye bayalele izigebenga ezimbalwa ukuba zimkhuphele ngaphandle. UDan wamisa eyadini, injini yegesi endala yabetha umlozi okwexeshana, ithoba isantya, emva koko kwathi cwaka. Kwakungekho mntu eyadini: akukho bantwana bakhalayo kwaye akukho zinja zikhonkothayo, yimithi emidala kuphela eyayivuthuza ngumoya. UDan wayesazi ukuba kuza kwenzeka ntoni emva koko, wayeya kunyuka aye kwindawo yakhe, uLech adibane naye, amnike isiselo, aphule kancinane, emva koko banxile, bachithe loo ndawo, balahle umphunga, baze ngomso basele. intloko eqhekekileyo wayeza kungxama emsebenzini, ngqo emlonyeni Arumov. Ngokubanzi, yonke into iya kuphela ngaphambi kohambo oluya eFinland.
“Buyintoni ke ubomi bam,” wacinga njalo uDan, “mhlawumbi abukho ubomi kwakhona ukuba yonke into imiselwe kwangaphambili. Mhlawumbi sele ndisifa emseleni, kwaye le nto inodaka iyadanyaza phambi kwamehlo am. Kwaye kutheni uzikhathaza ngam ngolo hlobo ukuba akukho nto inokwenziwa?
Bekuxinene phandle.
Emva kokuba elayite icuba, uDenis wahamba kancinci egudla isitalato iKrasnokazarmennaya esiya eLefortovo Park. Wayeqonda ukuba wayelibazisa ukumiselwa kusengaphambili kangangeeyure ezimbalwa, kodwa le yayikuphela kwento eyathi qatha engqondweni. Wahamba kanye embindini wesitrato. Isitrato ngokwaso sasibonakala ngathi siqhushumbisiwe, yaye phantse akukho mntu wayeqhuba ecaleni kwaso. Kwaye ngokubanzi, lo mmandla wawungenakulungiswa: indlu elandelayo yayijonge abantu abadlulayo bodwa kunye neziseko zamehlo ezingenanto zeefestile ezaphukileyo.
"Ukuba ndingahamba ndiyokubona uKolyan," wacinga njalo uDan, "ukuba andikwazi ukusombulula ingxaki nge-Arumov kunye neTelecom, kufanelekile ukuba ndilandele ukhetho lokubhabha ngobugwala."
Umngxuma waseKolyan, umthengisi wezinto ezahlukeneyo ezingekho mthethweni, wawukwigumbi elingaphantsi kwendlu enkulu kaStalin. Kwaye yayifihliwe ngophawu olunqabileyo "iikhompyuter, izixhobo."
U-Nikolai Vostrikov, umfana omde, obhityileyo, wagoba kwaye ehlala exhuzula kancinci, wayegqogqa phantsi kwekhawuntara kwaye, akuva ukubulisa kukaDenis, akazange acinge nokucinga ngokuphuma apho.
-Mamela, Kolyan, ndithetha nawe. ndithi molo...
Umnikazi obhidekile nangona kunjalo wavela ekukhanyeni kwemini waza wacutha amehlo akhe ngomsindo.
- Molo, uphezu kwantoni?
Namhlanje uKolyan wayenxibe iiovaroli ezigreyizi eziluhlaza, njengezomkhandi wemoto. Le yayiyimpahla yakhe eqhelekileyo. Ngokuqhelekileyo akakwazi ukuma kuphela iisuti kunye neentambo, kodwa kunye neempahla ezihloniphekileyo. Ekuphela kwento awayiqaphelayo yayikukuzifihla komkhosi kunye neeovaroli ezahlukeneyo. Wayemalunga neshumi kubo ejinga kwigumbi lakhe lokulala, ezahlukeneyo, ngalo lonke ixesha: isuti yomhloli wepolar, umqhubi wenqwelomoya, itanki, njl.njl. Bonke abamaziyo kumacala omabini eUrals babeboyika obu bugqi obungaqhelekanga.
- Ewe, ndibambekile kwangoko. Andizange ndikubone ixesha elide, mhlawumbi ndingathanda ukuba nebhiya kunye neqabane elidala leshishini.
- Dan, akukho funny. Yintoni isihogo ngamaqabane oshishino? Wena, umhlobo wam ukude, ngamanye amaxesha uthenge izixhobo zobudenge kum, esi sisihlandlo sesibini ebomini bam ndikubona.
-Ngoko ufana nabahlobo bakudala?
- Asingabo abahlobo, umvundla, kulungile. Ukugqibelana kwakho ukuza kundibona kwiinyanga ezintathu ezidlulileyo, kwaye ndingavuya kakhulu ukuba okokugqibela. Nceda ulibale ngale ndawo, kukho abantu abahluke ngokupheleleyo kwezoshishino ngoku, bazimisele, akukho nto unokuyibamba apha.
- Ewe, uyazi, ndigqibile. Ndinombuzo owahluke ngokupheleleyo.
- Ngaba ubotshelelwe, okanye ubotshelelwe?
"Kolyan, yeka ukukhomba impumlo yakho kum, awunikezelanga nakubani na, umphefumlo wakho omncinci we-baryska."
- Ewe, ukuba awuzange unikezele nakubani na, kutheni ungene engxakini?
- Kufuneka uthethe nomntu omnye.
-Thetha, okanye uthethe...
- Okanye.
- Kwaye nabani?
— Ukhe wakhankanya ukuba uyazi iqabane elithembekileyo elinokufikelela ngokuthe ngqo kwiBloc yaseMpuma.
"Mhlawumbi ndiyazi, kodwa asiyonyani ukuba uya kukunceda." Ubufuna ntoni kuye?
- Masingahambi apha, kulungile.
- Kulungile, masihambe, kodwa kuphela ngenxa yentlonipho ...
- Ewe, ewe, ngenxa yokuhlonipha utata, umama, ugogo, njalo njalo, kwaye ngenxa yokuba ndiyazi into ngawe.
Bahamba ngentsimbi, umnyango ongapeyintwanga ukuya kumgangatho ongaphantsi kwaye baqhubela phambili kwii-labyrinths zeeshelufa ezinemigangatho emininzi ezigcwele inkunkuma yakudala yekhompyuter, bafika kumnyango omnye owawungabonakali kakhulu kwaye bangena kwigumbi elingaphantsi elimnyama, elikhanyiswe ngesiqingatha kwintendelezo ekude, ebaleni. embindini wayo kukho ityotyombe elinomgangatho omnye. Kweli tyotyombe, kwigumbi elimnyama, elikhuselweyo, iilaptops ezimbalwa zazifihlwe, ziqhagamshelwe kwi-Intanethi ngothungelwano lwabo olukhuselekileyo, nto leyo eyavumela uKolyan ukuba ancokole ngentliziyo yakhe nabani na, engoyiki tu ukuva.
“Ewe, ndigqibe ekubeni ndincede kuphela ngenxa yentlonipho kubahlobo bakho baseSiberia,” watsho uKolyan, ekhupha ilaptop yakhe kunye nerouter. Babuza ngawe izihlandlo ezininzi.
- Kwaye utheni kubo?
— Wathi uthabathe iholide ngeendleko zakho. Mamela ke Dan, ufuna ntoni apha? Ngendandiye kwenye indawo eArgentina kwakudala. Baya kuvala, hayi nje omnye, kodwa abanye.
Abafuni kundivala, abahlobo bam baseSiberia abazange bandilahle, nangona ngoku besebenza nabanye abantu.”
- Ewe, abakhathali, bangama-taiga moons, kodwa ukuba bandibuza ngokuthe ngqo, ndixolele, Dan, ndiza kukunikezela ngesibindi sakho. Inoba awuyazi ukuba ndisebenza nabani ngoku?
- Ngokubanzi, ndiyazi. Usebenza nge-INKIS efanayo.
- Ngento efanayo, kodwa hayi kakhulu. Ngoku kukho abafana abanjalo apho, abaxhasi bekholoneli enye eyothusayo. Akukho mntu ubaxelelayo kwaye akukho mntu waziyo ukuba baphi, bangoobani. Beza nje, babulale nabani na abamfunayo, baze bathi shwaka: amaqela abulalayo. Ke ukuba bathe bafika babuza ngawe, ndiyaxolisa.
- Kuthekani ukuba babuza ngalo mhlobo wakho?
- Ewe, makube njalo, andazi nto ngaye.
- Kodwa ungaqhagamshelana naye.
- Yintoni ingongoma? Usenokuba uhleli kwindawo ethile kumanxuwa aseKhabarovsk kwaye akunakwenzeka ukumrhwebesha.
"Enene bendifuna ukudibana naye buqu."
- Ewe, kukuwe ukuba uyichithe ngokwakho, nangona ndiyithandabuza kakhulu. Khona ubufuna ntoni kuye?
- Andifuni ukuya eArgentina, ndifuna ukuya kwiBloc yaseMpuma.
— Ngaba ukho umntu okubethile entloko kutshanje? Yintoni iBloc yaseMpuma, ezi psychos zimbi ngakumbi kuneqela elitsha lekholoneli. Baza kukuthengisa nje ngamalungu akho kwaye yiloo nto!
- Undibophe, kwaye ke ndiya kuzithengela.
U-Kolyan wanikina intloko nje.
- Ngoku, ukuba uyaphendula.
- Hee, Semyon, ngaba unxibelelana, ngaba uyakwazi ukuthetha?
“Ukuqhagamshela,” kwaphuma ilizwi elidityanisiweyo kwilaptop, kwakungekho mfanekiso, “kwenzeke ntoni?”
Umhlobo wam wakudala, endandidla ngokushishina nabafana baseSiberia, ufuna ukuthetha nawe.” Wayengomnye wabaphambili "abathumeli" phambi kweziganeko ezidumileyo.
- Wayefuna ntoni?
- Ewe, kungcono uzibuze, usecaleni kwam. Igama lakhe nguDenis.
- Ewe, molo, Denis. Ndixelele kancinci ngawe.
- Kwaye ube nempilo, Semyon. Mhlawumbi ungasixelela ngawe kuqala?
- Hayi, mhlobo, asiyi kuba nengxoxo enjalo. Undibizile, ngoko unelizwi lokuqala. Kwaye ndiza kucinga ngayo kamva.
UDan wathandabuza kancinci, kodwa ngubani okhathalayo, abantu abaninzi abanganqweneliyo sele besazi ngaye.
- Ngokubanzi, uKolyan, ndachaza imeko. Ndiza kongeza nje ukuba ngenxa yeziganeko ezaziwayo, iqela lam lamaqabane ahlupheke kakhulu. Ukuba uyazi u-Ian, wayengumphathi wam osondeleyo kwi-INKIS nakwishishini. Bamamkela, yaye ngomlinganiselo opheleleyo, kodwa ngenxa yesizathu esithile bandishiya ndedwa okwelo xesha. Kodwa ngoku amafu ahlanganisana kwakhona, kwaye kufuneka ndijonge elinye ibala leenqwelomoya.
- Kwakutheni ukuze ugqibe ekubeni bayajiya? Ngaba uyalandelwa?
- Ndicinga ukuba akukho.
- Ukucinga, kunjalo, kuluncedo. Ngaba unengxaki nomntu okanye umbutho othile?
- Ngomntu kunye nombutho wakhe. Ukuba uyazi iziganeko ezaziwayo-kakuhle, ngoko ndineengxaki nomqalisi wabo.
- UDenis, unokuthetha ngokuthe ngqo - lo ngumzila othembekileyo. Ngaba uneengxaki nge-Arumov?
- Ewe, ngaba uyazi nto ngaye?
Ilizwi aliwuhoyanga lo mbuzo.
— Ziziphi iingxaki?
“Kwenzeka ukuba ngempazamo ndibandakanyeke kwishishini lakhe nomnye umbutho, kwaye namhlanje uye wathi ngokuphandle wayenokungcola kum kwaye angakusebenzisa nanini na.” Ndicinga ukuba undigcinela enye into emdaka angayikwala.
- Ndikholelwe, unabantu bezenzo ezingcolileyo. Kwaye akunandaba apha - ubungqina obungathembekiyo, ukungathobeli ubungqina, kwaye kuyo nayiphi na imeko akuyi kuba nako ukwenqaba i-Arumov.
"Kuyenzeka, kodwa andifuni kujonga."
- Kulungile, uya kufihla?
- Ewe, ndiqwalasela zonke iinketho.
"Ndicebisa ukuba uyiqwalasele kuqala." Kuphela ngumbutho onamandla kakhulu onokulwa ne-Arumov. Inyaniso, andiqondi ukuba kutheni ujike kum, andichwethezi kolu hlobo lwenkonzo. U-Kolya unokucebisa abanye abantu kuwe abaya kukuthutha ukuya e-USA okanye eMzantsi Melika. Ndicebisa la mazwe; ngokwedatha yam, impembelelo ka-Arumov ayihambi apho.
— La mazwe akayi kufaneleka. Ngaphezu koko, andisenayo imali yokwenza olo tyando. Nguwe kuphela umntu onxibelelana ngqo neBloc yaseMpuma.
-Ufuna ntoni kwiBloc yaseMpuma?
- Ndifuna ukujoyina.
Ilizwi elihlanganisiweyo lathi cwaka imizuzwana embalwa. UDan walinda ngomonde.
- Esi sisigqibo esingalunganga, umhlobo wam. Okokuqala, i-Arumov inabo ubudlelwane kunye neBloc yaseMpuma, kwaye ibaluleke kakhulu kuneyam. Kwaye okwesibini, abantu abavela esitratweni abamkelekanga apho. Ndiyakwazi, ewe, ukuyicebisa, kodwa akukho nto ilungileyo ikulindeleyo apho, ndiyakuqinisekisa.
"Akukho nto intle indilindeleyo apha." Ndikulungele ukuthatha umngcipheko.
- Sekunjalo, kutheni? Ngaba ukuba ngumthengisi ngokungekho mthethweni kubonakala kuyingozi ngokwaneleyo kwimpilo yakho? Ngaba uyafuna ukuba ngumlandeli wehlelo lokufa kanzima?
"Ewe, ungandihleka, kodwa ngabo kuphela abachasayo ngandlel 'ithile iMartians kunye nenkqubo yabo."
“Ha ha,” latsho ilizwi elidityanisiweyo, “ndiyakuhleka ngokwenene.” Abachasi iiMartians, ndiyafuna ukukuqinisekisa, bayinxalenye yenkqubo yezinto. Ke masithi, i-cesspool yale nkqubo. Iinkampani ezininzi zaseMartian zithengisa izixhobo okanye iziyobisi, kodwa nawe uyayazi loo nto. Kodwa kukwakho neenkonzo ezithile ekungekho mntu uzinikayo, umzekelo, ukurhweba ngamakhoboka aguqulwe ngokwemfuza.
- Ewe, kutheni, ezinye iinkampani zaseMartian zikulungele ukuthengisa nangaphezulu kunoko.
- Ngoko ke akunamsebenzi. Akukho nje ivumba lokulwa nenkqubo apho. Bangabaphangi abaqhelekileyo abathi, ngokukhala okukhulu malunga nokufa kwayo yonke imimoya engendawo ene-neurochips, bazama ngandlela-thile ukufihla isiseko sabo se-bandit. Eyona nto ilula elindele umkhonzi wokufa kwesangqa sokuqala kukunyanzelwa ukuba likhoboka leziyobisi kunye nokucinezelwa ngokupheleleyo kobuntu ngokuthuthunjiswa okucwangcisiweyo kunye ne-hypnoprogramming. Ndikholelwe, i-Arumov ayibi kangako xa ithelekiswa nabo.
"Andikaziboni ezinye iindlela."
- Wena, umhlobo wam, mhlawumbi usisidenge okanye uphelelwe lithemba. Ingxaki kukunqongophala kwemali kwezinye iinketho?
- Ngokuyinxenye, kodwa enyanisweni, ndide ndibe nenketho esele yenziwe: enye iofisi ilungele ukundithatha phantsi kwephiko labo, ukuvala umlomo wam. Kubonakala ngathi akukho vumba lokumisela apha. Kodwa, ngelishwa, oku akundifanelanga.
- Kutheni le nto ayilunganga?
"Ukuba ndiyakuxelela, uya kuphinda wonwabe kwaye awuzukundikholelwa." Ngaba ungandinceda ngaphandle kokubuza imibuzo emininzi?
Kuya kufuneka ndimale umntu endingaziqondi iinjongo zakhe.
- Kulungile, ukuba ndiyakuxelela kwaye awundikholelwa, kuthini ke?
Ukuba uthetha inyaniso, ndiya kukholwa. Nabuphi na ubuqhetseba akunzima kangako ukubutyhila.
- Zonke ezinye iinketho zifuna ukufakwa okunyanzelekileyo kwe-neurochip, kodwa andinakuvuma oku. Ndingathanda ukuba ngumlandeli wehlelo lokufa.
"Uthetha ukuba awunayo itshiphu?"
- Ewe.
- Kolya, oku kuyinyaniso?
- Inyaniso, yena ngokwenene mfo onje yiqabaka, uyabhadula ngaphandle chip. Ulinda de aqatshelwe ndaweni ithile kwaye zonke izigigaba zakhe zivela ekukhanyeni.
- Hmm, engaqhelekanga, oko kukuthi, akakwazi ukubhalisa kuyo nayiphi na inethiwekhi. Uphila njani phofu?
- Unako ukubhalisa. Olu luhlobo oluthile lwecwecwe lomkhosi lakudala, lilinganisa ngobuchule ukusebenza kwetshiphu eqhelekileyo. Kukho abantu abathile abathi ngamaxesha athile bahlaziye i-firmware yayo.
- Wenza ntoni umahluko, akukho mnye umnikezeli womnatha oya kunika inombolo kwisixhobo esinjalo, kwaye iinzame zokubhalisa phantsi kweenombolo ezingalunganga ziya kutsala ingqalelo kuyo nayiphi na inethiwekhi.
- Oh, Semyon, undixelela ntoni? Yonke into ithengwa kwaye ithengiswe, kubandakanywa amanani okanye iikhowudi zabasebenzisi abathobela umthetho, ngakumbi eMoscow.
- Ke, makhe sicinge. Denis, ungacacisa ngakumbi malunga nokuba uthenge kubani esi sixhobo?
“Kulungile, masidibane sixoxe ngayo yonke into,” waphendula uDan. "Uyandinceda, kwaye ndiyawonelisa umdla wakho."
- Ewe, uyazi, ukuba bendiyiarhente yenkampani engendawo kwaye ndinedosi kwiSemyon ethile, bendiya kwazi ukuba okuphela kobuthathaka beSemyon ehlonitshwayo kukufuna ukwazi okugqithisileyo. Kwaye ngale hook bendiza kumbamba. Ndingathanda ukwenza ibali elinyanzelisayo malunga nomfana othiya iitshiphusi kakhulu kangangokuba uzimisele ukubola ephila kwiBloc yaseMpuma ukuze aphephe ukufumana itshiphu. Kwaye ukubonisa ithebhulethi yommangaliso kuye nabani na, ukufikelela kwi-database ye-neurotech ethile, akuyi kuba nzima.
"U-Kolyan uza kundiqinisekisa, uyandazi iminyaka elishumi."
- Iiarhente ezifihlakeleyo zinokusebenza ixesha elide.
- Ewe, andazi ukuba ndingakubonisa njani ukuba andiyoarhente. Zama nje ukukholwa.
- Kodwa okwangoku, kutheni ungathandi iitshiphusi kakhulu? Emva kwakho konke, unako, ngemali ethile, ukufaka i-chip ekhethekileyo ehambisa ulwazi lobuxoki malunga nomsebenzisi, kwaye udle ngokungaziwa kwiinethiwekhi. Yintoni le phobia engaqhelekanga?
UDenis embombozela wathi: “Mva nje wonk’ ubani ukukhathalele ukukoyika kwam.
- Ngubani omnye obakhathaleleyo? Arumov?
- Hayi, kwi-nerd evela kwiTelecom. Waqalisa ukuntywizisa amathe xa efumanisa ukuba andinayo itshiphu.
- Ngubani?
- One nerd. Ndicinga ukuba ndivakalise iminqweno yam.
- Kulungile, masidibane, kodwa khumbula, musa ukuba sisidenge, ukuba kukho nantoni na eyenzekayo, ndiya kudubula ngaphandle kwesilumkiso.
- Ewe, yonke into iya kuba yinto eqhelekileyo. Ndixelele idilesi.
USemyon wenze idinga kwipaki encinci eStaraya Basmannaya Street kwisiqingatha nje seyure. Apho uDan agqibe kwelokuba ukufuna ukwazi ngokwenene kwenza uSemyon ohlonitshwayo alibale ngokulumka, kuba... ixesha nendawo yentlanganiso zazibonisa ngokucacileyo ukuba wayexhonywe kwindawo ekufutshane.
UDenis wahlala phantsi kwisitulo esisembindini wepaki esecaleni kwebhontsi laseBauman. Ukusuka kwiintshinyela zokhula, ezaziwatshabalalise ngokupheleleyo amatye awayekade elungile, kwavela ikati enkulu. Walaqaza njengomnini, wasusa iindevu zakhe waza wahamba kwindawo ekhululekileyo ukubaleka ukuze aqhube ishishini lakhe lekati. UDan wayegxile kakhulu kwikati engaqhelekanga kangangokuba akazange akwazi ukuqaphela ixhego elinxibe ibhatyi yesikhumba enamafutha isiza. Kodwa ngelize. Ixhego alizange likhwankqiswe kwaphela, lagqotsa uDenis egxalabeni lasekhohlo ngomothuko. UDan wayesele eqonda ukuba yinto eyothusayo, etsibela ecaleni.
- Mfana oselula, ndicela uxolo ngokuthobeka ngobuchwephesha obunjalo, kodwa le yeyona ndlela iqinisekileyo yokujonga ukuba umntu akanayo i-chip.
“Kwaye ngokunyanisekileyo ukubulala igoon,” watsho uDan, ezama ukuthomalalisa umqala owawusesandleni sakhe.
- Kwakhona, iwaka lixolisa, ndagqiba ekubeni ekubeni umntu ekulungele ukuya kwi-bloc yaseMpuma, ngoko ngokuqinisekileyo akahlupheki nge-angina. Yaye ukuba uyabandezeleka, ngoko mhlawumbi ubuthathaka ngokupheleleyo entloko.
- Hey, umalume, phi na umba iyunithi enjalo? Enyanisweni, nabo baye bavalwa ixesha elide.
- Ewe, ukukhwela iMartians ngeetshiphusi zabo. Baza kubaxinanisa kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo kwaye bawise imithetho kwindawo enye, emva koko uSemyon omdala uza kulwa njani neegopniks? Amazwi amabi? Abakhathali ngawaphi na amasango umntu omdala, ohlonitshwayo kufuneka agoduke...
- Mamela ke malume, yeka ukuthetha ububhanxa, masifikelele kwinqanaba.
- Umfana, bonisa intlonipho encinane. Ngoku, ukuba usalinde iqhinga elivela kum, ndicela ulithathe...
UDenis wasisusa ngocoselelo eso sixhobo sishwabeneyo, esinobunzima obunamazinyo aphandle awoyikisayo.
"Kodwa ndiyakulumkisa, uSemyon wakudala unento engaphezulu nje kwe-rattler kunye namagama amabi esitokhweni."
- Kulungile, mhloli, masihambe. Into yokudlala epholileyo.
UDan wabuyisela umpu owothusayo.
"Kulungile, ndiyathemba ukuba esi siganeko sibi silibele." Makhe ndizazise: Semyon Koshka. Mhlawumbi nguSemyon Sanych kuphela.
Kulungile ke, Semyon Sanych, kuthekani ngeBloc yaseMpuma?
“Akulunganga ukuthabatha nje inkunzi yenkomo ngeempondo.” Masihlale sithethe. Undixelele into, ndiza kukuxelela into. Ndiyindoda esele ikhulile, akukho mntu undidingayo ngokuncwina kwam kungekho nto. Kufuneka ulihloniphe ixhego.
- Akhongxaki. Uyazi, Semyon Sanych, andingxamanga. Ngaba uyafuna ukukhalela ubomi, ewe nceda.
- Kwaye ngokwenene, uphi na ngokukhawuleza, ukuya e-Arumov okanye into? Kungcono uhlale uncokola nexhego. Ngoko ke ndinengabangaba ukuxhasa incoko.
USemyon wakhupha iflaski encinci esifubeni sakhe wasela kuqala. UDan akazange alibazise kwaye waginya iti enencasa yecognac ebalaseleyo, ngoko nangoko wasasaza ubushushu emzimbeni wakhe wonke.
- Ewe, Denis, ndandiqonda ngokubanzi ukuba uluhlobo luni lwentaka. Ndenze, nangona kunjalo, ndenze uphando oluncinci ngokusebenzisa amajelo am. Ndimele nditsho ukuba unebhayiloji encinci kakhulu kwihlabathi elibonakalayo. Ndingade ndithi hayi. Oku, ngendlela, yayiyenye isiqinisekiso esingathanga ngqo sokuba uthetha inyani malunga nechip.
- Ke, ngesihloko seechips, kutheni wonke umntu enomdla ngokukhawuleza kwinto esentloko yam? Yintoni wena kunye ne-telecom nerd eyaziyo endingayaziyo?
- Eh, ulutsha. Awuyazi indlela yokuphulaphula, kodwa ndikholelwe, ngamanye amaxesha kwanele nje ukuvala umlomo ukuva iimfihlo ezinzulu zomntu. Ndithetha ukuthi, bendifuna ukunyibilikisa umkhenkce wokungathembani phakathi kwethu kwaye, ngokulandelayo, ndichaze kancinci ngam. Mhlawumbi ucinge ukuba ngandlel 'ithile ndiqhagamshelene ne-MIC.
"Akumangalisi, wonke umntu unxulumene naye."
- Inyaniso, kodwa mna, ngokuqinisekileyo, ndandingeyena igosa elikhaliphileyo elinentloko epholileyo kunye nezinye izinto eziluncedo, kodwa kunokuba i-rat laboratory engabonakaliyo. Liyinyaniso elokuba, ndasebenza kumsebenzi obangel’ umdla. Kwaye musa ukubuza ukuba yintoni iprojekthi, xa ixesha lifika, ndiya kukuxelela. Ke, ndiye ndajika ndinobuchule ngakumbi kunabanye oogxa bam kwaye ndakhathalela kwangaphambili ukufihla izinto eziyimfuneko. Kwaye xa yonke into yawa, ndandisele ndilungile: ndikwazile ukucima lonke ulwazi malunga nam kwaye ndamisela ngokukhawuleza, masithi, ishishini elincinci lokuqokelela ulwazi. Ngamanye amaxesha ndiyarhweba ngolu lwazi, kodwa ubukhulu becala ndiyalugcina nje. Sele ndiqokelele i-database enkulu yamawakawaka abantu abanomdla. Ubukhulu becala, kunjalo, apha eRashiya, kodwa kukho abantu abancinci phezu kwenduli, nakwi-Mars.
- Kutheni uyigcina? Kutheni ungathengisi yonke into?
-Ndingakuxelela njani, mfondini, andingomzi kwaye ndithengisa kuphela ezona mpahla zimoshayo ukuze ndiphile. Kwaye ndigcina ngononophelo bonke ubuncwane benyaniso.
- Kuba kwizizukulwana?
- Mhlawumbi, andazi kubani. Khawube nomfanekiso-ngqondweni weemonki zamaXesha Aphakathi zaziqhubeka zibhala iincwadi ezindala unyaka nonyaka ngoxa kwakugquba oobhubhani neemfazwe ngaphandle kweendonga zezindlu zazo zoonongendi. Kwakutheni ukuze benze oku, nguwuphi kubantu ababephila ngexesha labo onokuwuxabisa umsebenzi wabo onzima. Yinzala yabo kuphela eyayinokwenza oku, kumakhulu eminyaka emva kokufa kwabo. Kuthi baye bagcina ubuncinane inkumbulo yeenkulungwane ezidlulileyo.
— Ngaba uya kuqulunqa ingxelo?
- Hayi, Denis. Okay, ndiyakubona awunamdla. Kulungile, ndiza kukuxelela intsomi malunga nabantu abangenayo itshiphu. Impendulo nje yokuqala, luhlobo luni lwe-nerd evela kwiTelecom ebinomdla kuwe?
- Igama lakhe nguLeo Schultz, ungumphandi oyintloko kwiziko elithile lophando iRSAD. icandelo Telecom kufutshane Zelenograd. Babandakanyeka ikakhulu kwimisebenzi yezonyango entsonkothileyo kunye nengaqhelekanga, ubunjineli bemfuza, ukufakelwa kunye nokuphuhlisa isoftware kubo. Ngokubanzi, iofisi embi iphinda ikrole iArumov iprojekthi ethile yokuguqula abasebenzi be-INKIS SB babe ngamajoni aphezulu. Iisampulu zokuqala sele zenziwe, ngoku kucetywa ukuqalisa ukuguqulwa kwe-serial. Andazi ukuba ngubani oza kwenza ntoni ngabo kamva. Kodwa lo Schultz ungcolisa uArumov. Izolo siye apho ukuya kutyikitya amaxwebhu okugqibela eprojekthi kwaye asizange sityikitye nto. Andazi ukuba kutheni, kodwa ngokucacileyo u-Schultz wagqiba kwelokuba atsibe ngequbuliso esihlokweni, kwaye uArumov ngoku ucinga ukuba ngandlel’ ithile ndibandakanyeka apha. Wandikhwaza ekuseni kakhulu kangangokuba zashukuma iifestile. Kwaye mna, ngokufutshane, andinalo nofifi, lo Schultz wandithuthumbisa iyure malunga nokuba kutheni ndingathandi iitshiphusi kwaye wandihlikihla malunga nenkqubela phambili kunye neziphekepheke zizulazula kwiindawo ezivulekileyo. Ukunyaniseka, andiyazi into eyenziwa ngu-Arumov kunye namajoni akhe athandekayo ngayo.
— Ndiva ezona zinto zinika umdla kuwe, mhlobo uDenis. Kwaye ke, awuzange uwabone amagosa aphezulu ngokwawo?
“Ngubani owaziyo, mhlawumbi ndiyibonile,” uDan wagqiba kwelokuba avume emva kwengcinga emfutshane. Nangona kunjalo, ngaphandle kwemikhwa eyothusayo kunye nenkohlakalo, uDenis waziva ngengqondo yesithandathu ukuba uSemyon unokuthenjwa, kwaye mhlawumbi i-cognac idlale indima.
"Kodwa ngoku uyaxoka ngokuqinisekileyo, awubaboni."
- Kutheni le nto?
- Ewe, okokuqala, udinga imvume ephezulu kakhulu, ayithathi nabani na apho. Kwaye okwesibini, kukho imiyalelo eyimfihlo kubo: phantsi kweemeko vumela abantu abangenazo ii-chips basondele kubo.
-Wow, Semyon Sanych, ngokwenene unayo imithombo elungileyo yolwazi. Bane-firmware enjalo, kwafuneka ndiyijonge ngendlela enzima.
- Kwaye ukwazi njani ukusinda? Nangona kunjalo, kulungile, esi sisihloko sencoko eyahlukileyo. Makhe sithethe ngetshiphu kuqala, umbuzo omnye nje: ngaba kwenzeka ngebhaqo ukuba uLeo Schultz akuthembise indawo yokukhosela?
- Ewe, kuquka naye.
Ke kulungile ukuba ungangxamanga ezingalweni zakhe kwaye ngoku uyasiqonda isizathu. Mhlawumbi uyazi ukuba emva kwemfazwe yendawo yesibini, i-MIC yayiphuhlisa iindlela ezintsha zokulwa neeMartians. Enye yezona zinto zibalulekileyo yayiyinkqubo yokwazisa ii-arhente kunye nababhuqi kwizakhiwo zeMartian. Yayinkulu kwaye isebenza kangangoko. Xa abakwaMartians, emva kokuwa, bafumana ulwazi malunga nalo, babamba iintloko zabo ngokwenene. Ukuba besibambe ixesha elingakumbi kwaye sifune inani elaneleyo leearhente, ngekhe saqalisa imfazwe yokwenyani ngokuchasene naba bastards. Ngaba unokuthelekelela ukuba kunjani ukuhlala kwimiqolomba evaliweyo, kukho amawakawaka eearhente zotshaba ezisebenza kwizikhululo zeoksijini nakwizixhobo zenyukliya? Ewe, ngequbuliso babengenaxesha lobukumkani. Baza kutshintsha i-diapers kathathu ngemini kuwo wonke umqhaphu. Emva koko, ngokuqinisekileyo, i-MIK yayingasekho kwaye iiMartians zabamba ngokuthe chu zonke ezi arhente. Ngendlela, yidla iilekese.
USemyon wakhupha kwindawo ethile epokothweni yakhe iilekese ezomileyo ezinemitya kunye neimvuthuluka ezincanyathiselwe kuzo.
- Ke, kwimiyalelo yabo yangaphakathi, iiMartians zahlulahlula zonke iiarhente kwiiklasi ezine. Kwaye apho bachaza ngokweenkcukacha indlela yokuchonga kunye nokuba benze ntoni ngabo. Abameli beklasi yesine ngabantu abaqhelekileyo abaqeshwe abafumene imiyalelo yokuya ezantsi ngaphambi kokuqala kwemfazwe yokutshatyalaliswa okanye baqokelela ulwazi. Kucacile ukuba zezona zixabisekileyo kwaye azithembekanga. Enyanisweni, emva kokuwa koBukhosi abazange bakhangelelwe ngenzondelelo. Ukungabikho kwee-odolo, umntu oqhelekileyo akayi kuhamba ngokwakhe ukuvuthela isikhululo se-oxygen. Iklasi yesithathu ngabameli abaye bafumana uqeqesho olukhethekileyo olude. zicutshungulwe eMhlabeni kwaye zithunyelwe kuMars phantsi komfanekiso wabafuduki. Iziqhushumbisi zokuzibulala, ngokufutshane, zilungele nantoni na. Ayekholelwa ukuba emva kokuba efele umlawuli aya kuzalwa ngokutsha aze avuselwe kwihlabathi elilunge ngakumbi apho uBukhosi buye boyisa. Njengomlawuli unamandla amakhulu okubona ikusasa kwaye, ngaphezu koko, unokubonisa ngokufutshane eli xesha elizayo kwi-neophyte encinci. Makazulazule kumagumbi ashiswe lilanga kumaziko amakhulu, athethe nabantu abahle, abakrelekrele abanomphefumlo ococekileyo, abalibele ukuba yintoni intswela-ngqesho nolwaphulo-mthetho. Kwaye ndincoma izibane zangokuhlwa eMoscow emva koloyiso lobukomanisi. Kucacile ukuba ekugqibeleni i-MIC yafumana okulungileyo ekuboniseni zonke iintlobo zamaqhinga ngokuzalwa ngokutsha, iiyure zezulu kunye nezinye izinto, kodwa ayikafaneleki. Nangona ingqondo ehlanjwe ngokucokisekileyo, emva kweminyaka emininzi yobomi obuzimeleyo, iqala ukubuza imibuzo kunye nokuthandabuza. Okanye usenokusuka nje athethe into engeyomfuneko xa kungeyomfuneko. Ngokubanzi, ukuphuculwa okulandelayo yiklasi yesibini. Bane-hypnoprogram okanye i-minichip efakwe kwingqondo yabo. Nge-minichip, ewe, bakhululwa ngenxa yokunqongophala kwexesha, kulula kakhulu ukuzibona. Kodwa i-hypnoprogram yinto eyahlukileyo ngokupheleleyo. Umntu onaso usenokungarhaleli nokuba yi-arhente. Kwaye yenziwe yasebenza ngokulula ngekhowudi yomlomo, okanye umyalezo kwinethiwekhi yoluntu. Emva koko indoda yosapho engumzekelo iya kuhamba iyobulala iMartian efunwayo, okanye ivuthele isitshixo somoya. Enyanisweni, bathi emva kwe-hypnoprogramming omnye kwabalishumi abafudukayo abanokubakho basinda, kodwa oku, ngokuqinisekileyo, akuzange kumise i-MIC. Kodwa kunzima kakhulu ukubabona; bathi abakababambi bonke, kwaye oku kubangela ukuba abantu baseMartians bahlaselwe yi-paranoia. Awusoze wazi ukuba ngubani umntu ophambeneyo onokufikelela kwiikhowudi zokuvula ezi arhente. Ungandijongi ngolohlobo, andinazo ezi khowudi. Ewe, ezona zipholileyo ziklasi enye, zongezwa ngokuguqulwa kofuzo okanye ii-microorganisms ezenziweyo. Zinokuba yibhombu yebhayoloji, zivelise iityhefu ezinqabileyo zokubulala, kwaye awusoze wazi ukuba yintoni enye. Ukuyichonga, kuyimfuneko ukuqhuba iimviwo ezinzima kunye neemvavanyo ze-DNA kuzo zonke iindawo zomzimba. AbakwaMartians basasebenza kule nto.
“Inolwazi kakhulu,” watsho encumile uDenis. - Ke, wena okanye mna singaba ngabameli be-MIC kwaye singazi.
- Linda, ungangxami, kungcono ukuba ube neti kunye neelekese. Mna nawe asifane sibe ngabameli bodidi lokuqala okanye lwesibini. Kutheni zifuneka eMoscow? Zezona zixabisekileyo kwaye zibiza kakhulu, bezisoloko zithunyelwa kuMars. Kodwa kukho intsomi yokuba kukho iiarhente ezithile zodidi lwe-zero. Oku kunokwenzeka ukuba yintsomi nje. Kusenokwenzeka ukuba umntu othile wenza eli bali ngokunxila kuba kukho iiklasi ezine, kufuneka kubekho iklasi engu-0; abahlobo bakhe basetywaleni bayithandile kwaye bahambahamba kwiindawo ezithile. Yade yafikelela kwiiMartians yaza yafumana indlela yayo kweminye yemiyalelo yabo ngohlobo lwemibhalo esemazantsi kunye nezichasi. Yintoni umsebenzi wale arhente kwaye yintoni izakhono abanazo, kukho uqikelelo oluninzi kwesi sihloko, kodwa akukho nto inokuthenjwa. Into eyothusayo kukuba kuzo zonke iinguqu zale tale kukho imeko enyanzelekileyo: ukungabikho kwazo naziphi na iichips, imolekyuli okanye i-elektroniki, kwii-agent ze-class zero. Ukunyaniseka, akuqondwa ngokupheleleyo ukuba kutheni i-agent ngaphandle kwe-chip iyadingeka, kuba yena, ngokucacileyo, akayi kukwazi ukungena nasiphi na isakhiwo saseYurophu, singasathethi ngeMartians. Kwaye nabagcini be-MIC abanesiqinisekiso esiphezulu bebengazi nto malunga nezi arhente. USemyon Koshka uyazi ngokuqinisekileyo oku.
Yaye khawufane ucinge, ngequbuliso kuvela umntu othe ngenxa yesizathu esithile akayithandi i-chips kangangokuba ulungele ukufa kunokuba afake. Ndidibene nabantu abangenazo iitshiphusi, zonke iintlobo zabantu abangenamakhaya abangenamali, okanye izigebenga ezivela kwiBloc yaseMpuma kunye neengqondo nje. Kodwa awungeni kulo naluphi na udidi. Bendihlala ndicinga ukuba intsomi malunga neearhente zero zero yayiluhlobo lokubonakaliswa, ulindelo lomnyulwa oza kusindisa wonke umntu. Enyanisweni, uninzi lwabantu abacingayo eRashiya, kwaye kungekhona nje, bayabathiya abantu baseMartians. Kodwa akukho nethemba lomoya lokubachasa ngandlel’ ithile, ke kwakhona, abantu abanengqiqo abasishukumisi isikhephe. Kwaye, ngokomgaqo, akukho mntu unokulwela. Yiyo loo nto amabali malunga neMohican yokugqibela eya kuza kwaye ikhokele wonke umntu edabini ehlala ehlala eqinile. Ndade ndacinga ukuba ooMartians ngokwabo baqulunqa eli bali ukuze bakhuphe umphunga. Kwaye ke ngequbuliso - nanko uhamba, amathemba akhohlisayo athatha inyama. Imimangaliso...
“Ngummangaliso onje,” uDenis wanyusa amagxa. Ngaphandle komnqweno ovuthayo wokubetha i-cyber-bastards ebusweni, andinanto emphefumlweni wam. Mhlawumbi kufuneka ndivulwe njenge-arhente yeklasi yesibini.
- Mhlawumbi kufuneka. Kodwa akukho mntu waziyo ukuba njani. Kwakhona bathi i-arhente ye-zero yeklasi iyazazi iikhowudi zokufikelela kunye nedatha yazo zonke ii-arhente ze-MIC. Sela iti.
- Kutheni undikhathaza ngengabangaba lakho? — UDan ngokukrokra waphunga intamo yeflaski. "Useyingabangaba elikrokrisayo."
- Musa ukoyika, inika nje impendulo umdla phantse naluphi na uhlobo chips molecular.
- Akukho chips. Yeka ukujonga kakade, kungenjalo ndingaphinda ndibe nohlaselo lokungathembi.
- Ndaqonda ukuba akukho. Kungenjalo, ubuya kukrazulwa kuzo zonke ii-orifices kwakudala. Uxolele isidenge esidala, andikholelwa ukuba ngokwenene ungokhethiweyo, owabonakala ekupheleni kobomi bam obungento yanto.
"Owu ngcwele, kwiiyure ezimbini ezidlulileyo ndiphantse ndavuma ukuba ukuphoxeka kwam kuphelile." Kwaye ngequbuliso ndifaka amathemba angenasiseko emntwini. Ngokwenene imimangaliso!
"Uyazi ukuba yintoni enye endenza ndikholelwe kwiiarhente zero zero?"
- Amajoni aphezulu eTelecom? - Dan wacebisa.
“Ndiqikelele kakuhle,” wanikina intloko uSemyon evuma. "Into endiyicingayo kukuba akunakwenzeka ukuba uthathe kwaye ukope igenome yesiporho emva koko uyifake emntwini." Ngokuqinisekileyo banohlobo oluthile lokhuseleko-ikhowudi ye-genome, imemori yemfuza, nantoni na. Kodwa naphakathi kwemimoya, okanye phakathi kwabo babalawulayo, kusenokubakho abangcatshi abavumayo ukukhonza amaMartians. Yiyo loo nto iziporho ezithengisayo zibulala bonke abantu ngaphandle kweetshiphusi. Mhlawumbi awona mfihlo angcono kwiimfihlo zobukhosi. Ukusuka kwinto endiyifundileyo malunga nabo, sinokugqiba ukuba oku akunakwenzeka ukuba i-firmware ekhethekileyo, kodwa uhlobo oluthile lwe-bug ebulalayo. AbakwaMartians ngokwabo abazange banikezele kulo kuzingela, bangabantu abasebenzayo kwaye bakholelwa kwii-agent zero zero kwizinga abazenzayo.
- Ewe, oko kuthetha ukuba ayingawo onke amajoni aphezulu analo bug.
- Ngayiphi ingqiqo? Ngaba wonke umntu ufanele abe nayo?
"Kutheni ucinga ukuba ndisaphefumla emva kokudibana nabo?" Omnye ujike engenguye utsotsi wabulala omnye ebezondiqhawula intloko. Ngokubanzi akangomntu ombi, mhlawumbi ndinetyala kuye ubomi bonke ngoku. Njengokuba unenkululeko yokuzikhethela.
- Kutheni efuna inkululeko yokuzikhethela? - USemyon wamangaliswa.
- Ukubandezeleka. Ukuba unenkululeko yokuzikhethela, ngoko ke ukuba uyathanda okanye awuthandi, kuya kufuneka ubandezeleke.
UDenis wangcangcazela wajonga macala onke. Wachukunyiswa ziincoko kangangokuba akazange aphawule ukuba kwaqalisa njani ukuba mnyama. Kwangena umoya opholileyo esifubeni sam, uze nevumba lengca eyomileyo nomhlaba omanzi. UDenis wayesele engxola entlokweni yakhe kwaye urhatya lwasekwindla lwaqala ukumenyezela ngemibala emitsha. Kwanokuthula okucaphukisayo okuqhelekileyo kwezitrato zaseMoscow ezishiyiweyo zaqala ukubonakala zingaqondakali kwaye zizolile. Kwaba ngathi yingubo ethambileyo ebafihlayo emehlweni nasezindlebeni zotshaba. Kwakukho i-lantern enye kuphela evuthayo egadini, kwaye ngeenxa zonke kuyo, kwisigidi kunye neyokuqala, iphinda iphinda iphinde iphinde ilandele umyalelo wezinto, amawaka eenambuzane sele eqalile ukuqokelela. Khawufane ucinge, umntu sele ecwangcisa ukubhala kwakhona ingqondo yakhe kwi-quantum matrix, kodwa ngaba lo mfo ukrelekrele angawuphendula ngokungathandabuzekiyo umbuzo olula: kutheni izinambuzane zibhabha zisiya ekukhanyeni ngokuzingisa kokuzibulala? Ngapha koko, umzabalazo wabo awunathemba kwaphela, kodwa bayazingisa kangangokuba ngequbuliso ngenye imini enye yeebhiliyoni ezingenakubalwa iya kukwazi ukugqibezela lo msebenzi mkhulu ize yonwabele zonke ezinye izinambuzane ezisemhlabeni.
"Ucinga ukuba u-Schultz wayecinga ukuba ndiyi-arhente ye-Class Zero." Njengemveliso ekhethekileyo onokuthi uyiveze ngesitya sesilivere kwiiMartians zakho ozithandayo ukuze uthandeke? - UDenis waphula ukuthula.
- Akukho nto yobuqu, ishishini kuphela. Kulungile ukuba eli linyathelo lakhe kuphela, kodwa ukuba iofisi ephakathi iba nomdla koku, ngokuqinisekileyo awuyi kuphuma kwikhonkco.
- Ewe, ndiyazi, andinayo into yokulahlekelwa. Ngaba wena, othandekayo uSemyon Sanych, unento yokuphulukana nayo?
- Kum? Ngaba ndinesifo samathambo kunye ne-sclerosis? Kunkqonkqozwa kuphela kwiingcango zeekliniki ebudaleni. Kodwa ucebisa ukwenza ntoni? Ukuba ubuyi-arhente ye-zero enenyani, kwaye bendiya kukwazi ukukuvula... kungenjalo...
- Akukho mfuneko yokuphelelwa lithemba. Masifumane indlela yokundenza ndisebenze: siya kugubha uSchultz okanye i-Arumov, siya kukumba into ethile.
"Ungumntu olula, masimxhawule uSchultz." Mhlawumbi sinokubetha ngokukhawuleza umphathi othile waseNeurotek? Nangona kunjalo, ewe, kutheni le nto idala ukukhalaza. Ekubeni wena, umncinci kwaye umhle, ungxamele ukufa, ngoko ndinyanzelekile ukuba ndibeke umngcipheko.
"Ke, kugqitywe kwelokuba, esihogweni kunye neBloc yaseMpuma, sijonge indlela yokuvula i-arhente ye-zero yeklasi." Yiza, ngenxa yethu,” uDenis ngomdla waphakamisa iflaski yakhe.
“Usandimangalisa nangoku.” Ngoko ukholelwa ngokulula ukuba enye i-fart endala engaqhelekanga iya kuhamba nawe ukuya kwi-embrasure?
- Kutheni kungenjalo, wena ngokwakho uthi kukho abantu abaninzi ehlabathini abathiyileyo iMartians. Kwaye ukuba le yintlekisa, okanye uluhlobo oluthile lokuhlawula i-Martian provocateur, ngoko esihogweni nayo.
— Mhlawumbi kukho izigidi neebhiliyoni zabo bawathiyileyo amaMartians, kodwa asingabo bonke abakulungele ngokunzulu ukulwa. Uyaqonda ukuba siya kulahlekelwa kwaye sife ngokunokwenzeka kwe-99 kunye ne-9 kwixesha. IiMartians zixabana ngokungapheliyo, kodwa kumlo ochasene notshaba lwangaphandle, ngakumbi olunosizi njengathi, inkqubo yabo yonke i-monolithic ngokupheleleyo.
— Uloyiko ngumcebisi ongalunganga. Mhlawumbi iiMartians aziphumelelanga ngenxa yokuba zipholile, kodwa ngenxa yokuba umhlaba wonke ungcwatywe kwihlabathi lawo kwaye uyoyika ukukhala.
Ngelishwa, ihlabathi lokwenyani liye lancipha kakhulu, kwaye akukho mntu unokuqaphela ukukhala kwethu kulo.
- Ewe, akunamsebenzi, baya kuqaphela, abayi kuqaphela. Oku akunjalo xa kufuneka ukubala amathuba, kufuneka nje ukholelwe kwaye uqale ukwenza into ethile. Ukuba umzabalazo wam ubaluleke kakhulu kweli hlabathi, ndiyathemba ukuba imithetho enokwenzeka iya kuba kwicala lam. Kwaye ukuba akunjalo, ngoko kuvela ukuba ubomi bam bonke abubizi ngaphezu kothuli kwaye akukho mfuneko yokukhathazeka ngayo.
“Inyani yakho,” watsho ethandabuza uSemyon.
Yile ndlela uDenis afumana ngayo ngokulula kwaye ngokwendalo iqabane kwimfazwe yakhe engenathemba ngenyani. Ngubani owaziyo, mhlawumbi kwakusenzeka nje, okanye mhlawumbi kwakukho abantu abaninzi kakhulu ehlabathini ababenezizathu zokungawathandi amaMartians, kwaye kwakwanele ukukhomba ngomunwe kumntu wokuqala abadibana naye. UDenis, ngokuqinisekileyo, wayengakholelwa ngokwenene amabali malunga ne-agent ye-Class Zero. Wavele wakholelwa ngoko nangoko kumzabalazo wakhe, kwaye ngokulindela nje umlo wokwenene intliziyo yakhe yaqalisa ukubetha ngamandla kwiitempile zakhe, kwaye umlomo wakhe wawuzaliswe livumba legazi. Kwabetha amagubu ezindlebeni zam, yaye ivumba elikrakra lamasimi angapheliyo nemililo evuthayo yazalisa impumlo yam. Kwaye bendifuna nyani ukuphila ukuze ndibone umzuzu apho aya kuthi abambelele kwaye ajije imela kumzimba onqabileyo wenyani. Ayikho enye iklabhu kwintshona yeMoscow awayefuna ukuhlala ukuze abone ngosuku olulandelayo kakhulu.
