In the most compressed look we will state all necessary
knowledge: mathematics, astronomy, medicine, biology, botany,
geography…
– I am afraid that terrestrial botany, the zoology and geography are not enough there
will be useful, – Dzhilber told. – On other planets you should create
other botany and geography.
– So, I suggest to capture with myself all “earth salt” in compact
look, – Stormer continued. – Experts could order
to make such abstracts, to everyone in the area and to print books
the most small print on the thinnest, but strong paper or to take
microbooks. I gave botany, geography for example. I think, however, as
terrestrial botany, geography, history will not be superfluous. Unless to immigrants
to Venus it will not be interesting to know about Earth But I pass to most important
parts mine of the project. New mankind on the new earth, certainly, so
it has to be divided into classes, as well as on our planet. But division
it has to be sharper. People of our circle have to borrow there
dominant position Descendants of any servants, mechanics and other
service personnel which we will take with ourselves have to become
our slaves We will create a caste “wise”, “devoted”, slaves have to
to be illiterate, dark people. And we will rule over them therefore
that without our knowledge they will be helpless and powerless Only we one
let’s know how to build houses, cars…
– Cars? Again cars? And there cars? – Shnirer screamed. – You want
to ruin new mankind? To transfer this infection, this plague to new
earth? Cars is a damnation of a Satan which finished terrestrial mankind
before a real crash! By no means, not under any circumstances I not
I will agree to this madness! Classes can remain – they are even necessary.
Only slavery could provide leisure, necessary for reflections
to philosophers of antiquity. Let there will be slavery, but the slavery softened
patriarchal relations. Life close to the nature! Natural
economy! Any cities! We, Germans, in the person of unnaturally expanded
communities of Berlin created the tool which destroyed the state when it
the tool – Berlin – fell into hands of extremists, that is antigosudarstvenno
the adjusted people at large. Any factories and plants! Any cities!
Farms, meadows, herdboys, streamlets… Philosophy of contemplation and morals…
– Christian! – the bishop inserted.
– Yes, Christian, – the philosopher agreed. – It is very convenient for us.
And, you know, I would leave these terrestrial stories, geography on Earth. We
would create a modern history – about the highest beings, nisshedshy from “sky” on
earth. We would have an authority of divinity. We will be wisely and graciously
to operate our slaves. They will graze our herds, to cultivate ours
vineyards and on Sundays together with us to praise us and
to supreme. Peaceful life on a nature bosom. Any working questions,
strikes, revolutions! Golden Age! Paradise on the earth!
– And – any banks, commercial affairs? Etto., boringly! – told
Marshal.
– Without commerce life does not make sense. But we will bring this
the amendment, the baron, – Stormer told, addressing Marshal, – and I hope that
dear professor Shnirer will agree to this compromise. Private
property, I hope, you do not deny, mister Shnirer? And if is
private property…
Between bankers and the philosopher the dispute erupted. Nobody noticed how
Zander rose and left gallery of ancestors. Destiny of the future social
the device on the new earth had no relation to rocket flight. Besides
all these logomachies, in his opinion, were alien anything practical
sense.

HANS STUDIES LUNA-PARK
Hans left Vinkler’s house and went to a huge horseshoe. It
it was visible from everywhere.
Finger walked on the ice-covered road and thought:
“The horseshoe is similar to a tuning fork. Yes, it is not lower than the Eiffel Tower, can
to be above. The fork scratching clouds…”
The dense cloud closed a horseshoe half.
“Three hundred meters… The horseshoe costs on the mountain which has not less
five-six thousand meters of height above sea level. Quite good tower. But for
what is it built? Vinkler did not explain. I will try to guess…
Maupassant once complained that the Eiffel Tower pressed his brain of the
platitude. At that time it was, of course, a worthless construction. It
built as “nail” of the World Parisian Fair. And still, if
Maupassant was an engineer, he would like respect and respect to D’Eiffel
to tower. For those times it was miracle of construction art. On
To the Eiffel Tower astronomical and meteorological laboratories,
physical office and powerful radio station.
