Zaj dab neeg ntawm Ray Bradbury hais txog tus npauj npaim nto moo tom qab, uas nws txoj kev tuag yav dhau los tau hloov pauv lub neej yav tom ntej, tau tshwm sim hauv xyoo 1952. Azimov zaj dab neeg, zoo ib yam li zaj dab neeg, yog nyob rau hauv 1958. Hauv ob qho tib si, peb tab tom tham txog yuav ua li cas me me, tsis tshua muaj kev hloov pauv me me ntawm qhov muaj tiag nyob ib puag ncig tuaj yeem ua rau muaj qhov tshwm sim loj heev yav tom ntej.

Marshall Zhebatinski xav zoo li ib tug neeg ruam tag. Nws muaj kev xav tias ntau txhiab lub qhov muag tau saib nws dhau ntawm lub khob qias neeg ntawm lub khw, ntsia tsis pom kev los ntawm qab lub laj kab ntoo.

Nws tsis xis nyob heev hauv cov khaub ncaws qub, uas nws tau rub tawm ntawm lub txee dai khaub ncaws, thiab hauv lub kaus mom nrog lub brimmed - nws yuav tsis hnav nws hauv lwm qhov xwm txheej hauv nws lub neej. Thiab txawm tias tsom iav - Marshall txiav txim siab ua yam tsis muaj lawv thiab tsis coj lawv tawm ntawm rooj plaub.

Zhebatinski xav zoo li ib tug neeg ruam tag, thiab qhov no ua rau cov tawv nqaij ntawm nws lub hauv pliaj tob, thiab nws lub ntsej muag tig daj ntseg me ntsis ntawm lub hnub nyoog tsis paub meej.

Nws tsis zoo li nws tuaj yeem piav qhia rau leej twg yog vim li cas tus kws kho mob nuclear txiav txim siab mus ntsib "tus kws tshaj lij" hauv cov lej khawv koob - tus lej lej. (Tsis yog, nws xav. Tsis yog rau txhua yam hauv ntiaj teb.) Damn nws, nws piav tsis tau rau nws tus kheej. Puas yog nws swb rau qhov kev yaum ntawm nws tus poj niam?

Tus lej lej tau zaum ntawm lub rooj qub, tej zaum yuav los ntawm lub khw muag khoom thib ob. Tsis muaj lub rooj tuaj yeem tuaj rau lub xeev no, yog cov cuab yeej ntawm ib tus neeg. Tib yam tuaj yeem hais txog cov khaub ncaws ntawm tus txiv neej luv luv, tsaus nti, uas tau tshuaj xyuas Zhebatinski nrog lub qhov muag dub zoo nkauj.

"Kuv yeej tsis tau ntsib ib tus kws kho mob ntawm kuv cov neeg siv khoom, Dr. Zhebatinski," nws hais.

"Kuv vam tias koj nkag siab tias tsis muaj leej twg yuav tsum paub txog kuv qhov kev mus ntsib," Zhebatinski tau hais sai sai.

Tus numerologist luag nyav, wrinkles tshwm nyob ze ntawm nws lub qhov ncauj, thiab daim tawv nqaij ntawm nws lub puab tsaig nruj.

- Kuv ua haujlwm nruj me ntsis.

“Koj paub, kuv xav tias kuv yuav tsum qhia koj ib yam tam sim ntawd. Kuv tsis ntseeg hauv numerology thiab tsis xav kom ntseeg nws tom qab kuv mus ntsib koj, - hais tias Zhebatinski.

- Thaum ntawd, koj ua dab tsi ntawm no?

- Kuv tus poj niam xav tias koj muaj ib yam dab tsi nyob ntawd, kuv tsis paub qhov tseeb … Kuv tau cog lus rau nws - yog li kuv tuaj. - Nws shrugged, thiab kev xav ntawm idiocy ntawm txhua yam uas tau tshwm sim los ua yuav luag unbearable.

- Koj xav li cas? Nyiaj? Kev ruaj ntseg? Lub neej ntev?

Zhebatinski zaum ntev ntev nyob rau hauv kev ntsiag to, thaum lub numerologist saib nws nyob ntsiag to, tsis muaj cov tsos mob ntawm kev ua siab ntev, tsis txhob sim nudge tus neeg siv, kom nws hais kom sai li sai tau.

Zhebatinski xav tias, "Kuv xav tsis thoob," thiab kuv yuav qhia nws li cas? Kuv puas muaj peb caug plaub xyoos thiab tsis muaj kev cia siab, tsis muaj yav tom ntej?”

"Kuv npau suav ntawm kev vam meej," thaum kawg nws teb. - Kuv xav tau kev lees paub.

- Txoj haujlwm zoo tshaj?

- Lwm txoj haujlwm. Lwm hom kev ua haujlwm. Tam sim no kuv yog ib tug tswv cuab ntawm pab neeg thiab kuv tau saib xyuas. Pab pawg!.. Kev tshawb fawb los ntawm tsoomfwv ib txwm ua los ntawm pab pawg. Koj dhau los ua violinist, poob hauv lub suab paj nruag loj loj.

- Koj puas npau suav ntawm soloing?

- Kuv tsis xav ua ib pab neeg ntxiv lawm, kuv xav ua kuv tus kheej. - Zhebatinski dheev ntxhov siab nrog kev zoo siab heev, nws txawm tias kiv taub hau me ntsis - thawj zaug hauv nws lub neej nws tau qhia txog nws txoj kev xav tsis zoo rau nws tus poj niam, tab sis rau lwm tus, tag nrho cov neeg txawv. Nws hais ntxiv: “Neeg-tsib xyoo dhau los, nrog rau kuv txoj kev kawm thiab kev muaj peev xwm, kuv yuav tau txais txoj haujlwm ntawm ib qho ntawm thawj lub chaw tsim khoom siv hluav taws xob nuclear. Niaj hnub no kuv yuav khiav xws li tsob nroj los yog taub hau pab pawg tshawb fawb ntawm ib lub tsev kawm ntawv. Thiab dab tsi tos kuv hauv nees nkaum tsib xyoos? Tsis muaj dab tsi. Kuv tseem yuav yog tus tswv cuab ntawm pab pawg - uas yog kwv yees li ob feem pua tau txais txiaj ntsig. Kuv poob rau hauv ib pawg neeg tsis muaj npe ntawm cov kws kho mob nuclear! Kuv tsuas yog yuav tsum tau tawm ntawm cov av qhuav, yog tias koj paub qhov kuv tab tom tham txog.

Tus numerologist nodded.

Kuv vam tias koj paub, Dr. Zhebatinski, tias kuv tsis yog ib qho kev lees paub ntawm kev ua tiav.

Txawm tias muaj tseeb hais tias Zhebatinski tsis ntseeg nws tus poj niam lub tswv yim, nws raug ntes nrog kev poob siab.

- Koj puas lav qhov kev vam meej? Dab tsi yog ntuj raug txim koj lav?

- Lwm yam muaj peev xwm. Kuv txoj kev yog raws li kev txheeb cais. Koj tab tom cuam tshuam nrog atoms, yog li ntawd, zoo li kuv, koj yuav tsum nkag siab txog cov cai ntawm kev txheeb cais.

- Koj puas xav li ntawd? tus physicist nug venomously.

“Hais qhov tseeb, qhov ntawd yog qhov kuv xav. Kuv yog ib tug lej thiab kuv suav nrog lej. Thiab kuv qhia rau koj qhov no tsis yog vim kuv npaj siab yuav nce nyiaj rau kuv cov kev pabcuam. Nws yog tus qauv. Tsib caug duas las. Txawm li cas los xij, ua ib tus kws tshawb fawb, koj tuaj yeem nkag siab qhov kuv ua tau zoo dua li kuv cov neeg siv khoom. Ua kom ncaj ncees, kuv zoo siab heev uas kuv tuaj yeem piav qhia txhua yam rau koj.

"Hais kom ncaj ncees, kuv yuav tsis nyiam qhov no," said Zhebatinski. - Lub ntsiab lus ntawm cov tsiaj ntawv, lawv lub ntsiab lus mystical thiab zoo li tsis txaus siab rau kuv. Wb mus ua lag luam…

- Yog li, kuv yuav tsum pab koj, tab sis tsis yog lub nra hnyav rau koj lub siab nrog txhua yam tsis muaj tseeb thiab qhia koj tias kuv lub cev ua haujlwm li cas, yog li cas?

- Tias yog nws. Koj nkag siab txhua yam kom raug.

- Thiab koj xav tias kuv yog ib tug numerologist … Txawm li cas los, kuv tsis yog. Kuv tsuas yog tsis xav kom tub ceev xwm thab plaub thiab, "tus txiv neej hluas luag ntxhi qhuav," cov kws kho mob hlwb. Kuv yog ib tug lej thiab tsis muaj lwm yam.

Zhebatinski luag nyav.

"Kuv ua hauj lwm nrog computers," tus numerologist txuas ntxiv. - Thiab kuv tab tom tshawb nrhiav cov kev xaiv rau yav tom ntej.

- Dab tsi?

- Koj puas xav tias qhov no tseem phem dua li numerology? Vim li cas? Yog tias koj muaj cov ntaub ntawv txaus thiab lub khoos phis tawj muaj peev xwm ua tau qee qhov kev ua haujlwm hauv ib lub sijhawm, koj tuaj yeem kwv yees lub neej yav tom ntej - tsawg kawg ntawm qhov kev xav ntawm kev xav ntawm qhov tshwm sim. Thaum koj nkag mus rau cov ntaub ntawv ntawm kev txav ntawm lub foob pob hluav taws mus rau hauv lub khoos phis tawj txhawm rau tua cov foob pob hluav taws, koj puas tsis tau kwv yees lub neej yav tom ntej? Lub interceptor missile yuav tsis ntaus lub hom phiaj yog tias koj qhov kev kwv yees tsis raug. Kuv ua tib yam. Vim tias kuv cuam tshuam nrog ntau qhov sib txawv, kuv cov txiaj ntsig kev tshawb fawb tsis tshua muaj tseeb.

- Hauv lwm lo lus, koj puas yuav twv kuv lub neej yav tom ntej?

- Heev kwv yees. Los ntawm kev ua qhov no, kuv yuav hloov kho cov ntaub ntawv, hloov tsuas yog koj lub npe thiab tsis muaj dab tsi ntxiv. Tom qab ntawd kuv yuav tso cov ntaub ntawv tshiab rau hauv lub operating system. Tom qab ntawd kuv yuav sim ua ib yam nrog rau lwm lub npe. Kuv yuav kawm tag nrho cov kev xaiv rau yav tom ntej tau txais thiab sim nrhiav tus uas koj muaj lub sijhawm los ua neeg nto moo. Tsis yog, tsis yog, tos, kuv yuav sim piav qhia txawv. Kuv yuav saib rau yav tom ntej uas koj lub peev xwm lees paub yog ntau dua li tam sim no.

- Vim li cas hloov koj lub npe?

- Rau ntau yam. Ua ntej, nws yog qhov hloov pauv yooj yim heev. Tom qab tag nrho, yog tias kuv ua ib qho kev hloov kho loj, lossis muaj ntau dhau ntawm lawv, kuv yuav tau ua nrog ntau qhov sib txawv uas kuv yuav tsis tuaj yeem txhais cov txiaj ntsig. Kuv lub computer tsis muaj zog heev. Qhov thib ob, qhov no yog ib txoj hauv kev tsim nyog los daws qhov teeb meem. Tom qab tag nrho, kuv tsis muaj peev xwm hloov koj qhov siab, qhov muag xim lossis temperament, txoj cai? Thirdly, hloov lub npe yog qhov tseem ceeb heev. Cov npe ua lub luag haujlwm tseem ceeb hauv tib neeg lub neej. Thiab thaum kawg, thib plaub, hauv peb lub sijhawm, ntau tus tau txais cov npe tshiab.

"Yuav ua li cas yog tias koj tsis tswj kom nrhiav tau lub neej yav tom ntej zoo dua rau kuv?" nug Zhebatinski.

Koj yuav tsis ua phem dua, kuv tus phooj ywg.

“Kuv tsis ntseeg ib lo lus koj hais. Es tsis txhob, kuv npaj siab yuav imbued nrog hwm rau numerology. - Zhebatinski ntsia tsis txaus ntseeg ntawm tus txiv neej me.

"Nws zoo li kuv," tus kws qhia lej hais nrog lub siab ntev, "tus kws kho mob yuav hnov zoo dua yog tias nws pom qhov tseeb. Kuv yeej xav pab, thiab koj tseem muaj ntau yam ua. Yog tias koj suav tias kuv yog tus lej lej, peb yuav ua tsis tiav. Kuv tsis muaj kev xyiv fab li, thaum kawm qhov tseeb, koj yuav cia kuv pab koj.

"Yog tias koj tuaj yeem pom yav tom ntej …" Zhebatinski pib.

- Vim li cas kuv thiaj tsis yog tus txiv neej nplua nuj tshaj plaws hauv ntiaj teb? Koj puas txaus siab rau qhov no? Koj paub, kuv nplua nuj heev - Kuv muaj txhua yam kuv xav tau. Koj xav tau kev lees paub, thiab kuv nyiam kev kho siab. Kuv ua kuv txoj hauj lwm. Tsis muaj leej twg kov kuv. Thiab qhov ntawd ua rau kuv xav tias zoo li billionaire. Kuv tsis xav tau nyiaj ntau, thiab kuv tau txais los ntawm cov neeg zoo li koj. Kev pab lwm tus yog qhov zoo - tus kws kho mob tej zaum yuav hais tias kuv txoj haujlwm ua rau kuv muaj lub zog rau tib neeg thiab txhawb nqa kuv txoj kev txaus siab. Yog li, koj puas xav kom kuv pab koj?

- Koj puas tau hais tias nws yuav raug nqi npaum li cas?

- Tsib caug duas las. Kuv yuav xav tau koj cov ntaub ntawv keeb kwm yav dhau los; Kuv tau npaj ib daim ntawv teev cov lus nug los ua kom koj txoj haujlwm yooj yim dua. Nws ntev txaus, tab sis tsis muaj dab tsi koj tuaj yeem ua tau txog nws. Txawm li cas los xij, yog tias koj tuaj yeem xa cov lus teb los ntawm qhov kawg ntawm lub lim tiam no, peb yuav tau txais cov txiaj ntsig los ntawm …”Tus kws kho lej muab nws daim di ncauj rau pem hauv ntej thiab frowned raws li nws hais lus suav, “los ntawm nees nkaum xyoo tom ntej.

- Tsib lub lis piam? Ntev npaum li cas?

Kuv muaj lwm txoj haujlwm, kuv tus phooj ywg, koj tsis yog tus neeg siv khoom nkaus xwb. Yog tias kuv yog neeg dag, kuv yuav ua txhua yam sai dua. Zoo, ua li cas?

Zhebatinski sawv ntsug.

- Zoo, peb pom zoo … nruj me ntsis ntawm peb.

- Tsis txhob poob siab. Koj yuav tau txais tag nrho koj cov profile rov qab thaum kuv qhia rau koj paub tias yuav tsum tau hloov pauv dab tsi. Thiab tseem - Kuv muab kuv cov lus qhuas uas kuv yuav tsis siv cov ntaub ntawv tau txais los ntawm kuv tus kheej nyiam.

Tus kws kho mob nres ntawm lub qhov rooj.

- Koj tsis ntshai tias kuv yuav nthuav tawm koj?

- Thiab leej twg yuav ntseeg koj, kuv tus phooj ywg? tus numerologist teb, tuav nws lub taub hau. - Txawm tias koj xav txog ib pliag uas koj yuav qhia ib tug neeg txog koj tuaj ntsib kuv.

Hnub nees nkaum, Marshall Zhebatinski sawv ntawm lub qhov rooj shabby, glancing sideways ntawm ib tug me me kos npe rau nyeem: Numerology; cov ntawv tau NW nyuam qhuav pom los ntawm txheej tuab ntawm hmoov av. Zhebatinski ceev faj peered sab hauv, tsis pub leej twg paub tias yuav muaj qee tus qhua thiab tom qab ntawd nws yuav tuaj yeem mus tsev nrog lub siab ntshiab.

Nws sim ob peb zaug kom tshem tawm qhov kev xav ntawm nws thawj zaug tuaj xyuas ntawm no. Ob peb zaug nws coj daim ntawv nug thiab muab tso tseg. Rau qee yam, txoj haujlwm no ua rau nws nyuaj siab. Nws xav tias ruam, rov sau cov npe ntawm cov phooj ywg, teb cov lus nug txog lub tsev tsim nyog npaum li cas thiab seb nws tus poj niam puas nchuav menyuam, thiab yog tias muaj, thaum twg. Yog lawm, Marshall Zhebatinski muab daim ntawv nug ib sab ob peb zaug.

Tab sis nws kuj yuav tsis hnov qab txog nws kiag li thiab irrevocably. Thiab nws rov qab los rau nws cov lus nug ruam txhua hmo.

Tej zaum nws yog lub khoos phis tawj, uas tus txiv neej tsis muaj peev xwm thov kom muaj lub computer. Zhebatinski tsis tuaj yeem tiv thaiv qhov kev ntxias kom siv sijhawm thiab pom dab tsi yuav los ntawm nws tag nrho.

Thaum kawg, nws tau xa cov ntaub ntawv hais txog nws tus kheej los ntawm kev xa ntawv, txiav txim siab, yam tsis hnyav lub hnab ntawv, txhawm rau lo rau cuaj xees nyiaj rau nws. "Yog tias tsab ntawv rov qab los," nws txiav txim siab, "Kuv yuav tsis ua lwm yam."

Tsab ntawv tsis rov qab los.

Thiab tam sim no Zhebatinski sawv thiab ntsia mus rau hauv lub khw - nws yog khoob. Tsis muaj kev xaiv tab sis nkag mus. Lub tswb nrov.

Ib tug numerologist tshwm sim los ntawm qab ib daim ntaub thaiv npog lub qhov rooj sab hauv.

- Yog? Auj, nws yog koj, Dr. Zhebatinski.

- Koj puas nco kuv? - Zhebatinski sim luag.

- Muaj tseeb tiag.

- Zoo, qhov kev txiav txim yog dab tsi?

Tus txiv neej laus rub nws txhais tes nrog jagged knobby ntiv tes.

- Ua ntej … tus tswv, ib qho lag luam me …

- Koj txhais li cas tus nqi?

Kuv tau ua haujlwm, tus tswv. Thiab nws tau nyiaj.

Zhebatinski tsis tawm tsam. Nws txaus siab them. Yog tias nws tuaj deb no, tsis muaj qhov cuam tshuam rov qab rau nyiaj.

Nws rho tsib daim nqi kaum duas las thiab muab tso rau ntawm lub txee.

- Yog lawm?

Tus lej lej ua tib zoo suav cov nyiaj thiab tom qab ntawd muab tso rau hauv lub tub rau khoom nyiaj ntsuab ntawm lub txee.

Nws tau hais tias "Koj qhov xwm txheej tau dhau los ua qhov nthuav dav heev," nws hais. - Kuv qhia koj kom hloov koj lub npe rau Sebatinski.

- Seb … nws sau li cas?

- S-e-b-a-t-i-n-s-k-i.

Zhebatinski tau npau taws tiag tiag.

- Dab tsi, hloov thawj tsab ntawv? Hloov "F" rau "S"? Puas yog tag nrho?

- Yog. Yog tias qhov kev hloov me me no txaus, qhov ntawd zoo heev, vim tias kev hloov pauv me me yeej ib txwm muaj kev nyab xeeb dua.

- Mloog, qhov kev hloov pauv no cuam tshuam li cas?

- Thiab lub npe cuam tshuam li cas rau txoj hmoo ntawm ib tug neeg? tus numerologist nug ntsiag to. - Kuv tsis paub. Thiab txawm li cas los xij nws yog qhov ua tau, Kuv tsis muaj dab tsi ntxiv los qhia koj. Kuv ceeb toom rau koj tias kuv tsis muab ib qho kev lees paub, koj puas tau hnov qab? Lawm, yog tias koj tsis xav hloov lub npe, cia nws raws li nws yog. Tab sis qhov no, kuv yuav tsis rov qab koj cov nyiaj rau koj.

- Yog li kuv yuav ua li cas? - nug Zhebatinski. - Qhia rau sawv daws tias tam sim no kuv lub npe sau nrog tsab ntawv "C"?

- Kuv xav kom koj hu rau tus kws lij choj. Hloov koj lub npe raws cai. Ib tug kws lij choj yuav qhia seb yuav ua li cas.

- Thiab yuav siv sijhawm ntev npaum li cas? Kuv txhais tau tias … zoo, ua ntej kuv lub neej txawv?

- Kuv yuav tsum paub li cas? Tej zaum qhov no yuav tsis tshwm sim. Tej zaum txhua yam yuav hloov tag kis.

“Tab sis koj pom yav tom ntej. Koj thov kom pom nws.

- Zoo, tsis yog txhua yam raws li koj xav - zoo li yog tias koj lub neej yav tom ntej tau tshwm sim rau kuv hauv lub pob zeb ci ntsa iab. Tsis yog, tsis yog, Dr. Zhebatinski. Kuv lub khoos phis tawj tau tsim cov lej encoded. Kuv tuaj yeem qhia rau koj txog cov kev xaiv ua tau, tab sis kuv tsis tau pom cov duab muaj yeeb yuj.

Zhebatinski tig thiab sai sai tawm ntawm lub khw. Tsib caug duas las los hloov ib tsab ntawv hauv lub xeem! Tsib caug daus las rau Sebatinski! Tswv, lub npe hu li cas! Txawm phem tshaj Zhebatinski.

Lwm lub hlis dhau los ua ntej Zhebatinski txiav txim siab mus rau nws tus kws lij choj. Nws ntseeg nws tus kheej tias nws tuaj yeem hloov nws lub npe dua, tau txais nws tus qub rov qab.

Nws yuav tsum sim, nws qhia nws tus kheej.

Damn nws, nws tsis yog txhaum cai.

Henry Brand tau mus dhau ntawm cov ntawv tais ceev tseg los ntawm nplooj ntawv, nws yog ib tus kws tshaj lij thiab tau mob siab rau kaum plaub xyoos ntawm nws lub neej rau Kev Pabcuam Kev Ruaj Ntseg. Nws tsis tas yuav mloog txhua lo lus. Txhua qhov tsis sib xws, txhua qhov tsis zoo, yuav tau txais nws mloog.

Nws hais tias "Tus txiv neej no zoo nkaus li huv huv rau kuv," nws hais.

Henry Brand kuj tau huv si kiag li, lub plab loj, zoo nkauj, paj yeeb, ua tib zoo chais ntsej muag, zoo li nws nyuam qhuav ntxuav. Precisely qhov tseeb hais tias nws yuav tsum tau nrog txhua yam ntawm unseemly ua, xws li yooj yim kev xav thiab xaus nrog kev ntxeev siab, yuam nws mus ntxuav ntau zaus dua li kev cai.

Lieutenant Albert Quincy, uas coj nws cov ntaub ntawv, nws tseem hluas thiab muaj lub luag haujlwm - nws txaus siab los ua ib tug tswv cuab ntawm Kev Pabcuam Kev Ruaj Ntseg.

- Tab sis yog vim li cas Sebatinski? - nws insistently thov teb.

- Vim li cas tsis?

- Vim qhov no yog qee yam tsis muaj tseeb. Zhebatinski yog lub npe txawv teb chaws, Kuv yuav hloov nws tus kheej, tab sis rau ib yam dab tsi Anglo-Saxon. Yog tias Zhebatinski ua qhov no, nws yuav nkag siab, Kuv yuav tsis mloog nws. Tab sis vim li cas thiaj hloov "F" rau "C"? Kuv xav tias peb yuav tsum paub.

- Puas muaj leej twg nug nws tus kheej?

- Muaj tseeb tiag. Lawm, hauv kev sib tham ntiag tug. Kuv ua raws li qhov no. Nws tsuas yog hais tias nws nkees heev ntawm hnav lub xeem uas pib nrog tsab ntawv kawg ntawm cov tsiaj ntawv [Z (Zebatinsky) - tsab ntawv kawg ntawm cov tsiaj ntawv Askiv].

“Vim li cas ho tsis, Lieutenant?

"Nws muaj peev xwm, tab sis nws tuaj yeem hloov nws lub npe mus rau Sands lossis Smith yog tias nws xav tau nws lub xeem pib nrog "S". Thiab feem ntau, yog tias tus txiv leej tub nkees heev ntawm tsab ntawv "Z", vim li cas ho tsis hloov lub npe thiab coj tsab ntawv "A"? Piv txwv li … zoo … Aarons?

"Kuv xav hais tias nws tsis yog lub npe Anglo-Saxon heev," Brand grumbled, ces ntxiv, "Tab sis peb tsis muaj dab tsi rau nws. Nws tsis zoo li peb tuaj yeem foob nws tsuas yog vim nws xav hloov nws lub xeem, txawm li cas los xij nws tus cwj pwm coj txawv txawv yuav zoo li peb.

Lieutenant Quincy saib tsis zoo siab heev.

"Cia li los, tso nws tawm, Lieutenant," Brand hais tias, "Kuv muaj kev xav tias qee yam tshwj xeeb cuam tshuam koj. Tej tswv yim? Koj puas muaj kev xav txog Zhebatinski? lees nws, muaj teeb meem dab tsi?

Lieutenant frowned, lub teeb pob muag tuaj ua ke ntawm tus choj ntawm nws lub qhov ntswg, nws daim di ncauj hloov mus ua ib tug nyias nyias.

“Zoo… damn nws, tus tswv, nws yog Russian.

"Tsis yog," Brand hais. -Nws yog peb tiam neeg Amelikas.

- Kuv xav hais tias nws muaj lub npe Lavxias.

Ib tug deceivingly mos qhia tawm Brenda lub ntsej muag.

“Lwm qhov yuam kev, Lieutenant. Qhov no yog lub npe Polish.

Tus lieutenant txawb nws txhais tes npau taws, xib teg.

- Qhov txawv li cas!

Brenda niam lub npe hu ua Vishevskaya, yog li nws tsa nws lub suab:

"Tsis txhob hais qhov no rau Pole, Lieutenant," thiab tom qab xav me ntsis, nws hais ntxiv: "Los yog Lavxias.

"Kuv tsuas yog txhais tau tias, tus tswv," tus tub rog blushed, "thaum Poles thiab cov Russians nyob rau sab nraud ntawm Daim Hlau Hlau.

- Leej twg tsis paub qhov no?

- Thiab Zhebatinski lossis Sebatinski, nws tsis muaj teeb meem dab tsi peb hu nws, tej zaum yuav muaj cov txheeb ze nyob ntawd.

- Rau peb tiam Zhebatinski tau nyob hauv peb lub tebchaws. Nws, tau kawg, tej zaum yuav muaj ob peb kwv tij txheeb ze nyob ntawd. Yog li cas ntawm qhov ntawd?

“Los ntawm nws tus kheej, nws tsis txhais tau dab tsi. Ntau tus muaj cov txheeb ze nyob deb. Tsuas yog tam sim no ebatinski txiav txim siab hloov nws lub npe.

- Mus ntxiv.

- Tej zaum nws xav hloov kev xav. Tej zaum qee tus nkauj muam nraug nus thib ob ntawm Zhebatinski tau dhau los ua neeg nto moo nyob rau ntawd, thiab peb ntshai tias nws yuav cuam tshuam nrog nws ntawm no, muab nws lub sijhawm rau kev nce qib lossis qee yam zoo li ntawd.

- Hloov lub npe yuav tsis pab ntawm no. Lawv tseem yuav nyob ua txheeb ze.

Tau kawg, tab sis tej zaum nws yuav xav tias nws yuav tsis ua rau muaj kev tawm tsam.

- Koj puas tau hnov dab tsi txog qee tus Zhebatinski ntawm lwm sab?

- Tsis yog, sir.

- Thaum ntawd, nws tsis tshua muaj npe nrov. Thiab peb Zhebatinski tuaj yeem paub txog nws li cas?

- Vim li cas nws tsis nrog nws cov txheeb ze? Qhov no, ntawm chav kawm, yuav zoo li tsis txaus ntseeg - nws yog ib tug nuclear physicist.

Lub hom mus hla lub nplaub tshev dua thiab methodically.

Kuv xav tias qhov no yog deb-fetched, Lieutenant. Tsis zoo li ntau.

- Koj puas muaj lwm yam lus piav qhia, tus tswv, vim li cas nws thiaj txiav txim siab hloov nws lub npe li no?

- Tsis yog. Kuv pom zoo, kuv piav tsis tau qhov no nyob rau hauv txhua txoj kev.

Thaum ntawd, tus tswv, kuv xav tias peb yuav tsum tau khawb me ntsis hauv qhov no. Cia wb mus saib ib tug neeg hu ua Zhebatinski nyob ntawd, nrog lawv, thiab saib seb peb puas tuaj yeem txuas nws nrog peb li cas. - Tus tub ceev xwm tau txais lub tswv yim tshiab, thiab nws hais lus nrov me ntsis: - Tej zaum tus txiv leej tub txiav txim siab hloov lub npe kom cuam tshuam peb txoj kev xav ntawm lawv. Zoo, tiv thaiv lawv.

- Nws zoo nkaus li kuv tias nws tau ua tiav qhov kev sib tw.

- Tej zaum nws tsis nkag siab qhov no, thiab qhov kev xav zoo li no tsis tuaj yeem txo qis.

- Okay, - Hom sighed, - cia peb saib xyuas cov Zhebatinski. Tab sis yog tias peb nrhiav tsis tau ib yam dab tsi tseeb, peb yuav kaw rooj plaub, Lieutenant. Cia kuv daim ntawv tais ceev tseg.

Thaum cov ntaub ntawv thaum kawg tau txais mus rau Brend, nws tau tswj kom tsis nco qab txog tus lieutenant thiab nws txoj kev xav. Tom qab tau txais ib daim ntawv teev cov pej xeem Polish thiab Lavxias teb sab lub npe Zhebatinski, thiab lawv cov ncauj lus kom ntxaws biography, thawj yam nws xav yog: "Qhov no yog dab tsi?"

Ces nws nco qab, cog lus rau nws tus kheej thiab pib nyeem.

Nws tag nrho pib nrog American Zhebatinski: Marshall Zhebatinski (cov ntiv tes txuas nrog) yug hauv Buffalo, New York (hnub yug, rho tawm los ntawm tsev kho mob daim npav). Nws txiv kuj yug hauv Buffalo, nws niam hauv Osungo, New York. Nws txiv cov niam txiv yug hauv Bialystok, Poland (hnub nkag mus rau Tebchaws Meskas, hnub ua neeg xam xaj, duab).

Kaum xya tus pej xeem Lavxias thiab Polish npe hu ua Zhebatinski yog txhua tus xeeb leej xeeb ntxwv ntawm cov neeg uas nyob ze Bialystok txog ib nrab xyoo dhau los. Nws tuaj yeem xav tias lawv yog txhua tus txheeb ze, tab sis tsis muaj qhov xwm txheej no tau ua pov thawj rau qhov tseeb. (Cov txheeb cais nyob rau sab hnub tuaj Europe tom qab Tsov Rog Ntiaj Teb Zaum 1 tau sau thiab khaws cia hauv kev ntseeg phem, yog tias muaj.)

Lub hom phiaj tau tshuaj xyuas cov dab neeg ntawm lub neej niaj hnub ntawm Zhebatinski, txiv neej thiab poj niam (nws yog qhov zoo kawg nkaus ua haujlwm zoo li cas, tej zaum Lavxias kev ruaj ntseg kev pabcuam ua haujlwm zoo ib yam). Brenda xav nyob rau hauv ib phau ntawv keeb kwm - nws pob muag tam sim ntawd nce, nws frowned. Nws muab cov ntaub ntawv cia tseg thiab kawm ntxiv mus. Thaum kawg nws muab tag nrho cov folders tso rau hauv ib pawg, tsuas yog tus uas txaus siab rau nws, thiab, pensively saib mus rau hauv qhov kev ncua deb, nws tapped rau ib tug ntev lub sij hawm nrog ib tug zoo huv si, zoo-groomed ntsia thawv rau ntawm nws lub rooj. Tom qab ntawd nws tsis kam mus hu rau Dr. Paul Kristov ntawm Atomic Energy Commission.

Dr. Kristov tau mloog nws hais tias nws lub ntsej muag muaj pob zeb. Tsuas yog qee lub sij hawm nws kov lub qhov ntswg zoo li cov qos yaj ywm loj nrog nws tus ntiv tes me me, zoo li nws xav txhuam ib qho me me ntawm cov hmoov av. Nws muaj steel-grey plaub hau, txiav luv thiab tsawg heev nyob rau hauv tus lej.

- Tsis yog, kuv tsis tau hnov dab tsi txog Lavxias teb sab Zhebatinski. Txawm li cas los xij, kuv tsis tau hnov dab tsi txog Asmeskas ib yam, nws tau lees paub.

"Zoo," Brand khawb nws lub tuam tsev, "Kuv tus kheej tsis xav tias muaj dab tsi hauv qhov no, tab sis kuv tsis xav tso qhov kev tshawb xyuas. Ib tug tub rog hluas tab tom nias kuv - koj paub tias lawv tuaj yeem ua siab ntev. Nws tsis yog kuv txoj kev npaj los qhia rau pawg neeg sawv cev. Tsis tas li ntawd, ib tug ntawm cov Russians nyob rau hauv Zhebatinski, Mikhail Andreevich, yog ib tug nuclear physicist. Koj puas paub tseeb tias koj tsis tau hnov txog nws?

- Mikhail Andreevich Zhebatinski? Tsis yog … tsis muaj, tsis tau.

- Ib tug yuav xav txog tag nrho qhov no yog ib qho yooj yim coincidence, tab sis nws zoo li coj txawv txawv. Ib Zhebatinski ntawm no thiab lwm tus Zhebatinski nyob ntawd, ob qho tib si nuclear physicists, thiab peb li mam li nco dheev txiav txim siab hloov nws lub xeem rau Sebatinski, thiab coj tus cwj pwm tsis tu ncua. Tsis txhob pom zoo rau lwm tus sau. Yuav tsum: "Sau kuv lub npe nrog" C "". Qhov no yog qhov txaus txaus rau ib tus tub ceev xwm tsis txaus ntseeg uas pom cov neeg soj xyuas txhua qhov chaw kom raug rau ib feeb … Thiab ntawm no yog lwm qhov txawv txav: Lavxias Zhebatinski, txog ib xyoos dhau los, dheev ploj mus qhov chaw.

- Nws raug tua! - hais tias Dr. Kristov ntseeg siab.

- Tej zaum. Raws li ib txwm muaj, kuv xav tias yog li ntawd, txawm hais tias cov neeg Lavxias tsis yog neeg ruam tshaj li peb thiab tsis tua cov kws tshawb fawb nuclear hauv cov xwm txheej uas lawv tuaj yeem cawm lawv txoj sia. Muaj lwm qhov laj thawj vim li cas tus kws kho mob tuaj yeem ploj mus ntawm qhov pom. Vam tias tsis tas yuav piav qhia rau koj tias yog vim li cas.

- Tshawb nrhiav, sab saum toj zais cia. Puas yog koj txhais?

- Yog hais tias peb xav txog txhua yam nyob rau hauv tag nrho, ntxiv ntawm no tus lieutenant lub intuition … Koj paub, kuv muaj tej yam tsis ntseeg.

- Zoo, muab kuv phau ntawv keeb kwm no! Dr. Kristov mus txog rau ib daim ntawv thiab ua tib zoo nyeem ob zaug. Nws tuav nws lub taub hau, thiab tom qab ntawd hais tias, "Peb yuav tsum tau tshuaj xyuas hauv Cov Ntawv Qhia Txog Nuclear Research."

"Cov kab lus ntawm Kev Tshawb Fawb Nuclear" tau tuav tag nrho cov phab ntsa hauv Dr. Kristov lub chaw ua haujlwm, qhov chaw microfilms nteg hauv cov tub rau khoom me me.

Ib tug kws tshaj lij ntawm Pawg Neeg Tshawb Fawb Atomic tau coj lub projector, thiab Hom tau hu rau txhua yam uas nws muaj siab ntev ntawm nws pov tseg.

- Ib qho Mikhail Zhebatinski yog tus kws sau ntawv thiab tus kws sau ntawv ntawm kaum ob tsab xov xwm luam tawm hauv Soviet cov ntawv xov xwm dhau rau xyoo dhau los. Tam sim no cia peb nrhiav cov ntawv no thiab saib seb yuav kawm tau dab tsi los ntawm lawv. Qhov no tsis tshua muaj qhov hnyav.

Tus selector tau xaiv cov microfilms xav tau. Dr. Kristov folded lawv, ces muab pov rau hauv lub projector, thiab mam li nco dheev surprise tshwm sim ntawm nws lub ntsej muag:

- Yuav ua li cas coj txawv txawv …

- Dab tsi yog qhov txawv? Hom nug.

Dr. Kristov tig rov qab rau hauv nws lub rooj zaum.

- Nws yog ntxov dhau los hais ib yam dab tsi, tab sis koj puas tuaj yeem tau txais kuv daim ntawv teev npe ntawm lwm cov kws kho mob nuclear uas tau ploj ntawm qhov pom hauv Soviet Union xyoo dhau los?

- Hauv lwm lo lus, koj puas tau tswj xyuas ib yam dab tsi?

- Tsis yog tiag. Yam tsawg kawg cov kab lus no lawv tus kheej tsis qhia kuv dab tsi. Tsuas yog peb xav txog lawv los ntawm qhov kev xav ntawm kev tshawb fawb zais cia thiab coj mus rau hauv tus account cov kev xav tsis thoob uas koj tau instilled rau kuv nrog koj cov lus nug … - Nws shrugged nws lub xub pwg nyom. - Txog tam sim no, tsis muaj dab tsi tshwj xeeb.

- Koj puas tuaj yeem qhia kuv tias koj xav li cas? - Brand hais tiag. - Kuv tuaj yeem khaws koj lub tuam txhab - ua ke peb yuav xav zoo li neeg ruam.

Zoo, yog tias koj xav zoo li nws … Muaj peev xwm hais tias tus neeg no xav tau gamma hluav taws xob.

- Piav.

- Yog tias nws muaj peev xwm tsim tau lub vijtsam tiv thaiv gamma rays, nws yuav muaj peev xwm tsim cov chaw nyob ib leeg uas yuav tiv thaiv cov hluav taws xob tsis zoo. Koj yuav tsum paub tias qhov kev phom sij tseem ceeb yog cov xov tooj cua tsis zoo. Lub foob pob hluav taws tuaj yeem rhuav tshem lub nroog, tab sis nag lossis daus tuaj yeem xaus cov pej xeem hla thaj chaw loj.

- Peb puas ua qhov kev tshawb fawb no? Brand nug sai sai.

- Tsis yog.

- Thiab yog tias lawv tau txais qhov screen no, thiab peb tsis ua, lawv puas tuaj yeem rhuav tshem Tebchaws Meskas, poob, hais tias tsuas yog kaum lub nroog?

- Zoo, qhov no yog ib qho teeb meem ntawm lub neej yav tom ntej nyob deb … Tsis tas li ntawd, peb cov kev ua xyem xyav yog dab tsi? Ntawm qhov tseeb tias qee tus neeg txiav txim siab hloov ib tsab ntawv hauv nws lub npe.

"Okay, cia peb hais tias kuv txiv ntseej," Brand pom zoo. “Tab sis kuv yuav tsis kaw rooj plaub no rau theem no. Tsis nyob rau theem no. Kuv yuav tau txais koj cov npe ntawm cov kws kho mob ploj mus, txawm tias kuv yuav tsum ya mus rau Moscow rau nws.

Lub hom phiaj rub tawm ib daim ntawv teev npe. Nws thiab Dr. Kristov ua tib zoo tshuaj xyuas cov haujlwm ntawm cov kws kho mob no. Tag nrho cov tswv cuab ntawm Pawg Thawj Coj tau sib sau ua ke, thiab tom qab ntawd cov kws tshaj lij nuclear zoo tshaj plaws hauv lub tebchaws. Dr. Kristov tau tawm ntawm lub rooj sib tham hmo ntuj, uas tau koom nrog Thawj Tswj Hwm nws tus kheej.

Hom tau tos nws. Ob leeg ntsia sab sab, thiab lawv tau pom meej tias tsis tau pw txaus tsis ntev los no.

- Yog lawm? Hom nug.

"Feem ntau pom zoo nrog peb," nodded Kristov. - Qee tus neeg tseem tsis ntseeg, tab sis feem ntau pom zoo.

- Thiab koj? Koj puas paub tseeb?

Kuv tsis paub meej txog dab tsi, tab sis kuv yuav qhia koj qhov no: nws yooj yim dua los ntseeg tias cov neeg Lavxias ua haujlwm tiv thaiv gamma rays dua li nws yog tias tag nrho cov ntaub ntawv peb tau pom tsis cuam tshuam.

- Koj puas tau txiav txim siab tias peb yuav tsum ua tib yam kev tshawb fawb?

- Yog. Kristov sim ua kom nws cov plaub hau luv luv thiab stubble. - Peb yuav tau them nyiaj tshwj xeeb rau qhov teeb meem no. Los ntawm kev kawm txog kev ua hauj lwm ntawm cov physicists uas tau ploj mus los ntawm lub qab ntug, peb tuaj yeem ntes nrog cov Russians sai. Tej zaum peb txawm tuaj yeem nyob ib puag ncig lawv … Lawv, ib txwm, yuav kawm txog qhov peb ua.

"Nws zoo heev," Brand hais. - Cia lawv nrhiav. Ces lawv yuav tsis tawm tsam peb. Kuv tsis xav tias nws yuav yog txoj cai muab kaum ntawm peb lub nroog kom tau kaum ntawm lawv rov qab los; yog lawv paub tias peb tau tsim daim thaiv, zoo heev.

“Tsis ntxov dhau. Peb tsis xav kom lawv paub txog txhua yam ntxov dhau. Yuav ua li cas yog American ebatinski-Sebatnski?

Lub tuam txhab tau tuav nws lub taub hau.

- Nws tsis muaj dab tsi ua rau tag nrho cov no, peb tsis tau pom dab tsi - tseem. Au tus Tswv, peb tau saib, ntawm no koj tuaj yeem paub tseeb! Lawm, kuv pom zoo nrog koj. Tam sim no nws nyob hauv qhov chaw tsis tsim nyog, thiab peb tsis muaj peev xwm kom nws nyob ntawd, txawm tias nws huv huv.

- Tab sis peb kuj tsis tuaj yeem pov nws tawm ntawm kev ua haujlwm ib yam li ntawd, yam tsis muaj laj thawj, vim tias cov neeg Lavxias yuav muaj kev ua xyem xyav.

- Koj puas muaj tswv yim?

Lawv taug kev ntawm ib qho khoob, ntev txoj kev mus rau lub elevator, nws yog plaub thaum sawv ntxov.

"Kuv txaus siab rau nws cov dej num," said Dr. Kristov. Zhebatinski yog ib tus neeg ua haujlwm zoo, zoo dua li ntau, tab sis nws tsis txaus siab rau nws txoj haujlwm. Nws tsis yog tsim los ua haujlwm ua pab pawg.

- Yog li cas?

- Tus neeg no tsim nyog rau txoj haujlwm kev kawm. Yog tias peb tuaj yeem npaj rau qee lub tsev kawm ntawv loj los muab nws qhia physics, nws yuav zoo siab pom zoo. Nyob ntawd nws yuav tibneeg hu tauj coob nrog ib qho kev nthuav ua lag luam, thiab peb yuav tau txais nws tawm ntawm qhov chaw "tsis tsim nyog". Tsis tas li ntawd, peb yuav tuaj yeem saib xyuas nws, thiab feem ntau, nws yuav yog kev txhawb nqa tiag tiag. Thiab cov Russians yuav tsis xav txog dab tsi. Nws zoo li cas?

"Lub tswv yim zoo," Brand pom zoo. - Suab zoo heev. Kuv mam qhia rau tus thawj coj.

Lawv nkag mus hauv of the elevator, thiab tsuas yog tom qab ntawd Brand puas xav txog dab tsi lom zem tig ntawm cov xwm txheej uas tus txiv neej xav hloov ib tsab ntawv hauv nws lub xeem tau coj mus rau.

Marshall Sebatinski tau ntxhov siab heev uas nws tsis tuaj yeem hais lus.

"Kuv cog lus tias kuv tsis paub tias nws tshwm sim li cas," nws hais rau nws tus poj niam. - Kuv paub tseeb tias kuv tsis tau pom … Au kuv tus Vajtswv, Sophie, tus kws tshaj lij, tus kws qhia physics ntawm Princeton. Cia li xav!

- Nws puas tuaj yeem ua tsaug rau koj cov lus hais ntawm lub rooj sib tham ntawm American Physicists Association? Sophie qhia.

- Kuv tsis ntseeg. Daim ntawv tshaj tawm tau dhau los ua txaus ntshai heev tom qab raug thuam los ntawm txhua tus hauv peb pawg. Nws snapped nws tus ntiv tes. “Nws yuav tsum yog Princeton uas sim kuv. Qhov ntawd yog nws. Koj paub, dhau rau lub hlis dhau los kuv yuav tsum tau sau tag nrho cov lus nug hauv hiav txwv, thiab ntau qhov kev xam phaj, lub hom phiaj ntawm qhov kuv tsis tau hais txog. Ua siab ncaj, kuv twb txiav txim siab tias kuv poob rau hauv kev ua xyem xyav thiab kuv tab tom yuav raug liam tias yog neeg soj xyuas … tab sis qhov tseeb, Princeton txaus siab rau kuv! Kuv yuav tsum hais tias, lawv ua lawv txoj haujlwm zoo heev.

"Tej zaum nws yog koj lub npe," Sophie hais. - Kuv txhais tau tias koj hloov koj lub xeem.

- Zoo, tam sim no koj yuav pom. Thaum kawg, kuv lub neej kev ua haujlwm tsuas yog rau kuv xwb. Kuv yuav tig ib ncig! Thaum kuv muaj sijhawm los ua haujlwm yam tsis muaj … - Nws mam li nco dheev ntsiag to thiab tig rau nws tus poj niam: - Lub npe! Koj puas txhais tau tias "S"?

“Koj tau txais qhov kev thov no tom qab koj hloov koj lub xeem, puas yog?

- Zoo, hais qhov tseeb, tsis tam sim ntawd. Tsis yog, tej zaum tsuas yog ib qho coincidence xwb. Kuv hais rau nej ua ntej tias kuv muab tsib caug daus las rau saum cua kom txaus siab rau nej. Tus Tswv, qhov kuv xav tsis ntev los no, hais tias kuv lub xeem tam sim no tau sau nrog tsab ntawv "C".

Sophie tam sim ntawd maj mus rau hauv qhov kev tawm tsam.

Kuv tsis tau yuam koj, Marshall. Kuv tsuas yog muab, thiab qhov ntawd yog nws, Kuv tsis hais dab tsi. Thiab koj tsis tas yuav hais tias qhov no yog vim kuv. Tsis tas li ntawd, nws hloov tawm los ua txoj hauv kev zoo tshaj plaws. Kuv tsis ntseeg tias nws yog koj lub npe.

"Nyob rau hauv kuv lub tswv yim, cov no yog prejudices," Sebatinski luag nyav condescendingly.

"Kuv tsis quav ntsej qhov koj hu nws, koj yuav tsis hloov koj lub xeem rov qab, koj puas yog?"

- Zoo, tsis yog vim li cas? Nrog rau qhov kev nyuaj no kuv tau tswj hwm qhia txhua tus kom sau nws nrog tsab ntawv "C" uas kuv txawm ntshai xav txog qhov tseeb tias kuv yuav tsum tau rov qab txhua yam rov qab thiab, yog li ntawd, raug kev txom nyem tshiab. Tej zaum koj yuav tsum tau coj lub xeem Jones, eh? Nws luag hysterically.

Tab sis Sophie tau mob hnyav heev.

- Thiab tsis nco qab xav.

- Los, ua li cas, kuv tau tso dag. Koj paub, kuv yuav mus rau tus txiv neej laus ib hnub no, qhia nws tias txhua yam ua tiav, thiab muab kaum rau nws ntxiv. Zoo, koj puas txaus siab?

Sebatinski zoo siab heev tias lub lim tiam tom ntej nws tau npaj ua kom tiav nws cov lus cog tseg. Lub sijhawm no nws tsis hnav khaub ncaws kom tsis muaj leej twg paub nws. Nws hnav tsom iav, nws ib txwm hnav thiab tsis muaj kaus mom.

Mus txog ntawm lub khw, nws txawm hummed ib yam dab tsi ntsiag to nyob rau hauv nws ua tsis taus pa, thiab thaum nws pom ib tug poj niam nrog ib tug qaug zog, melancholy lub ntsej muag thawb lub tsheb nrog cov menyuam ntxaib nyob rau hauv pem hauv ntej ntawm nws, nws gallantly nqis tseg thiab ua txoj kev rau nws.

Nws muab nws xib teg tso rau ntawm lub qhov rooj, tab sis vim qee yam nws tsis muab rau hauv, lub qhov rooj kaw. Lub plua plav, faded kos npe nrog inscription "Numerologist" tau ploj mus, Sebatinski pom nws tsuas yog tam sim no, thaum nws pib tshuaj xyuas lub qhov rooj, uas tam sim no yog lwm inscription ntawm ib daim ntawv, twb me ntsis yellowed nyob rau hauv lub hnub thiab frayed los ntawm lub qhov rooj. cua: "Rau surrender."

Sebatinski shrugged. Zoo, nws sim.

- Dab tsi?

-Auj, los ntawm. Ntawm no nws yog tag nrho ntawm no, nyob rau hauv pem hauv ntej ntawm koj. Saib, kuv tau ua qhov no tshwj xeeb rau koj.

"Kuv tso tseg," Mestak hais tsis txaus siab. - Chav R kev txhawb siab.

-Yog li kuv yeej. Los, lees nws!

Thaum Tus Saib Xyuas paub txog qhov no, peb ob leeg yuav muaj teeb meem.

Haraund, uas tau piav qhia txog tus lej qub hauv ntiaj teb thiab tseem tsis tau zoo siab heev uas nws tau tso tseg, hais tias:

“Thaum koj ua thawj koom ruam nrog kuv, nws tsis thab koj heev.

“Zoo, kuv paub tseeb tias koj tsis ruam txaus los ua qhov no.

- Fu, nres nkim zog! Tsis tas li ntawd, vim li cas thab? Tus neeg soj ntsuam hauv lub neej yuav tsis pom qhov R-chav stimulus.

- Tej zaum nws yuav tsis pom, tab sis nws yuav tsum tau them sai sai rau cov txiaj ntsig ntawm chav kawm A. Cov cev nqaij daim tawv yuav nyob ntawm no txawm tias tom qab kaum lub microcycles. Tus neeg saib xyuas yuav tau them sai sai rau lawv.

“Qhov teeb meem yog, Mestak, koj tsis xav them. Yog li koj tuaj nrog txhua hom laj thawj.

- Yog, kuv mam them koj! Koj yuav pom tias yuav muaj dab tsi tshwm sim thaum Tus Saib Xyuas pom tias koj thiab kuv tau daws qhov teeb meem uas tsis muaj leej twg qhia peb los daws, thiab txawm tau hloov pauv tsis raug cai. Tau kawg, yog tias peb…”Nws taug qab.

Haraound hais tias, “Ok, cia peb rov qab los. Nws yuav tsis paub dab tsi.

Lub zog huab ntawm Mestak ci ntsa iab, ib tug neeg siab phem ci ntsa iab tshwm nyob rau hauv nws.

"Koj yuav xav tau lwm qhov kev txhawb nqa P-chav kawm yog tias koj xav kom nws tsis pom."
