URoger no-Anne babedinga ukuhlangana noSergei eSan Francisco. "Sizohamba ngesitimela, isikebhe noma indiza?" – kubuza u-Anne.
“Isitimela sihamba kancane, futhi uhambo ngesikebhe ukuzungeza iNingizimu Melika lungathatha izinyanga,” kuphendula uRoger. "Sizondiza ngendiza."
Ungene kunethiwekhi esebenzisa ikhompyutha yakhe walinda ukuthi uhlelo luqinisekise ukuthi ungubani. Ngokucindezela izinkinobho ezimbalwa, wangena ohlelweni lwamathikithi e-electronic futhi wafaka amakhodi emvelaphi yakhe nendawo eya kuyo. Ngemva kwemizuzwana embalwa, ikhompuyutha yaveza uhlu lwezindiza ezifanele, wabe esekhetha eyokuqala. Amadola okukhokha adonswe ngokuzenzakalelayo ku-akhawunti yakhe yomuntu siqu.
Izindiza zasuka esikhumulweni sezindiza zedolobha, lapho zafika khona ngesitimela sedolobha. U-Ann washintsha wagqoka izingubo zokuhamba, okwakuhlanganisa ibhulawuzi elilula elenziwe ngendwangu yokwenziwa esekelwe ku-polycarbonates futhi egcizelela isimo sakhe esiphilayo, esasingazi noma yiziphi izithuthukisi zofuzo, kanye nebhulukwe lendwangu eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka okumnyama. Izinwele zakhe ezinhle ezinsundu zazishiywe zingamboziwe.
Esikhumulweni sezindiza, u-Roger wethule amakhadi akhe omazisi komele inkampani yezindiza, owasebenzisa isistimu yakhe yekhompyutha ukuze aqinisekise ubunikazi babo futhi athole ulwazi mayelana nohambo lwabo. Wafaka inombolo yokuqinisekisa wabanika amaphasi amabili abenza bakwazi ukungena lapho kuhlalwa khona. Babe sebebhekwa abezokuphepha - okuyisinyathelo esidingekayo kukho konke ukuhamba ngendiza. Badlulisela imithwalo yabo komunye ummeleli; uzothuthwa endaweni ehlukile yendiza, lapho ukucindezela okwenziwayo kungajovwe.
“Ucabanga ukuthi sizondiza ngendiza enophephela? Noma kwenye yezindiza ezintsha? – kubuza u-Anne.
“Nginesiqiniseko sokuthi kuzoba yijethi,” kusho uRoger. - Izindiza ezisebenza ngophephela cishe azisasebenzi. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, izinjini zamarokhethi zisesesigabeni sokuhlola. Bathi uma sebeqala ukusetshenziswa yonke indawo, izindiza ezinjalo zizothatha ihora okungenani. Futhi indiza yanamuhla izohlala amahora afinyelela kwamane.”
Ngemva kwesikhashana belindile, bangeniswa endizeni kanye nabanye abagibeli. Indiza yayiyisilinda esikhulu sensimbi okungenani esingamamitha ayikhulu ubude, sinamaphiko aqondile abheke emuva e-engeli, lapho kwakugxunyekwe khona izinjini ezine zejethi. Babheka egumbini labashayeli bezindiza ngaphambili babona abashayeli bezindiza ababili behlola zonke izinto ezidingekayo zokushayela izindiza. URoger wajabula ngokuthi kwakungadingeki ashayele indiza ngokwakhe - kwakuwumsebenzi onzima owawudinga iminyaka eminingi yokuqeqeshwa.
Ingxenye yabagibeli evulekile ngokungalindelekile yayinamabhentshi agxishiwe; kwakukhona namafasitela ababekwazi ukubheka ngawo ezansi emaphandleni kuyilapho bendiza amakhilomitha angu-11 ngaphezu kwayo ngesivinini esingaphezu kuka-800 km/h. Imibhobho, eyayikhipha umoya onomfutho, igcine izinga lokushisa elifudumele, elinethezekile endlini encane, naphezu kwe-stratosphere ebandayo ezungezile.
“Nginovalo kancane,” kusho u-Anne ngaphambi kokusuka.
“Akukho okumele ukhathazeke ngakho,” emqinisekisa. - Izindiza ezinjalo zivamile ngokuphelele. Uphephe kakhudlwana kunezokuthutha ezihamba phansi!”
Naphezu kwenkulumo yakhe ezolile, uRoger kwadingeka avume ukuthi naye wayethukile lapho umshayeli ephakamisa indiza emoyeni futhi inhlabathi yawa. Yena nabanye abagibeli balunguza ngamafasitela isikhathi eside. Wayengakwazi ukubona izindlu, amapulazi kanye nezimoto ezingezansi.
“Futhi namuhla abantu abaningi beza eSan Francisco kunalokho ebengikulindele,” kusho yena.
“Abanye babo kungenzeka baya kwezinye izindawo,” ephendula. - Uyazi, kuzobiza kakhulu ukuxhuma wonke amaphuzu kumephu nezindlela zomoya. Ngakho-ke sinesistimu yezindawo zokudlulisa, futhi abantu abavela emadolobheni amancane baqale baya endaweni enjalo, bese beya endaweni abayidingayo. Ngenhlanhla, usitholele indiza ezosiyisa ngqo eSan Francisco.”
Lapho befika esikhumulweni sezindiza saseSan Francisco, izikhulu zezindiza zabasiza ukuba baphume endizeni futhi zathatha imithwalo yabo, zahlola amalebula anezinombolo ukuze ziqiniseke ukuthi isikhwama ngasinye sibuyiselwe kumnikazi waso.
“Angikholwa ukuthi sesikwelinye idolobha,” kusho u-Ann. "Emahoreni amane nje edlule besiseChicago."
“Hhayi-ke, asikafiki edolobheni! – Roger walungisa wakhe. “Sisesesikhumulweni sezindiza esiqhelelene nedolobha ngenxa yokuthi sidinga indawo enkulu kakhulu, noma kwenzeka izigameko ezingandile. Ukusuka lapha sizofika edolobheni sisebenzisa ezokuthutha ezincane.
Bakhethe enye yezimoto ezihamba emhlabeni eziphehlwa ngekhabhoni ezilinde kulayini ngaphandle kwesikhumulo sezindiza. Izindleko zohambo zazincane ngokwanele ukuthi zingakhokhwa ngokudluliswa kwe-elekthronikhi, kodwa ngezimpawu zamadola aphathwayo. Umshayeli washayela imoto yakhe ebheke edolobheni; futhi nakuba wayeyishayela ngesivinini esingaba ngu-100 km/h kuphela, kubo kwakubonakala sengathi yayihamba ngesivinini, kwazise yayiyimitha nje ukusuka emgwaqeni kakhonkolo. Wabheka u-Anne, ekhathazekile ngokuthi ijubane elingaka lingase limphazamise; kodwa wayebonakala ejabulela uhambo. Intombazane elwayo, futhi ehlakaniphile!
Ekugcineni umshayeli wamisa imoto yakhe bafika endaweni yesigameko. Iminyango ye-elekthronikhi ezenzakalelayo yabamukela esakhiweni sikaSergei. Lonke uhambo aluthathanga ngaphezu kwamahora ayisikhombisa.
