"I – Earthman", this is a science fiction, but as close as possible to realities, the descriptions of future, possible events that can lead to the catastrophe and the destruction of the planet Earth. The main character of this work, a researcher, he is the Russian cosmonaut, rescued by aliens, after a long stay on an alien to aliens, on their intergalactic ship returns to Earth, meets the girl, ancestors who survived a nuclear catastrophe and Primitive image of the earth's life of people. In addition to these events in this work by the author, only purely and strictly from its point of view, the topic of human mind is widely disclosed, about the huge cognitive abilities of the human brain, the themes about the dangers emanating from black holes, and the lives of others, reasonable and unreasonable, living creatures in distant land, planets of the universe.

I am Earthman

CHAPTER 1

War

The intergalactic ship rapidly entered the Solar system of the galaxy, called the "Milky Way". The commander of the ship gave the order;

– Slow down. Wake up the earthman, he has been in the bio-chamber for more than three hundred years. We are approaching the planet Earth. Let him admire his planet. This was his wish before going to bed.

The humanoids immediately obeyed the order of the ship's commander and brought the man to the observation cabin of the ship. At the same moment, the man leaned greedily against the porthole. He wanted to see the blue, beautiful, familiar home planet. But behind the porthole, I saw a dark gray, sometimes black, as if charred by a vast, large-scale fire, perhaps even already lifeless, dead planet. Where the blue oceans and seas are located, grayish-dark clouds covered in places. The continents have lost their former shape, have repeatedly decreased in size, we can say they have turned into many large and small islands. He was horrified and numb, began to mutter "it can't be, it can't be, this planet is not Earth", Slowed down after a long and forced artificial sleep, his memory was gradually restored. He really wanted to remember his first and last name, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't do it. He only remembered that he was a citizen of the Russian state, as a cosmonaut, together with astronauts from other countries, whose names he could not remember now, as part of five people, an international space crew, he did not remember the exact year, somewhere in the first half of the twenty-first century, they flew to the international space station (ISS) and replaced the previous crew. They worked together on the ISS, conducted scientific experiments, joked, had fun, discussed their upcoming, future flight on a manned interplanetary ship to the planet Mars. The crew had already been on the ISS for four months and they were soon to be replaced by another international crew. Nothing foreshadowed trouble, everything went according to a pre-planned plan. And so, being on the ISS in near-Earth orbit, in an instant they became the only unwitting witnesses of the catastrophe and the destruction of the Earth's civilization. Whether as a result of a fatal mistake of the human factor, or as a result of a successful terrorist attack by hackers on the system of early detection and prevention of an enemy missile attack, followed by hacking the lock and provoking a simulated nuclear missile attack, or because of the geopolitical ambitions of the leaders of the nuclear superpowers, a global thermonuclear war suddenly began between the nuclear superpowers. Of course, over the past decades, interstate relations between the world's leading nuclear powers have been strained and strained to the limit due to many problems and contradictions, mainly over spheres of influence in the world of a geopolitical, territorial and economic nature. In various hot spots of the Earth, undeclared wars of the leading powers of the world have been going on for a long time, in the form of their indirect participation in regional skirmishes, in coups d'etat, in which, defending their economic and geopolitical interests, the nuclear powers of the world supported one or another opposing side, providing them with assistance in the field of weapons, information and support in the UN. In addition, in order to win in the confrontation, the warring parties and their allies have long waged undeclared hybrid wars of an economic and informational nature among themselves, cyber attacks were carried out aimed at undermining the economic basis of the state and at weakening the political institutions of state power and other fundamental foundations of statehood. In an effort to dominate the world, some powerful powers, under the guise of "democratizing the world" or under the guise of "protecting the economic interests of their state" in a particular region of the world, resorting to various sophisticated methods to damage the opposite side, did not disdain anything to achieve their goals. They constantly violated the fundamental principles of the Charter of the United Nations and violated other international rules of relations between States developed in the 20th century and established for years. Double standards, economic blockades and other various restrictive measures were widely applied to those who did not agree with the policies of the superpowers. When resolving certain geopolitical or geo-economic disputes, conflict situations in hot spots of the world, even the opinions of some economically undeveloped and militarily powerful states located in that region, whose interests were directly affected there, were not taken into account, and the preservation of their statehood depended entirely on objective solutions to these problems. This, in turn, led to protracted civil wars and the complete ruin of these states in economic and humanitarian terms and the mass migration of their citizens to other countries of the world. Against the background of the confrontations of the nuclear superpowers, skillfully taking advantage of their irreconcilable differences, in addition to this, they were also financially fueled by third forces from outside, international terrorism was also growing everywhere in the world. In a word, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, because of the gross mistakes made, or the deliberate actions of some leading politicians of the world elite aimed at creating so-called "controlled chaos" in certain regions of the world, everything and everything changed in the world. This led to a deep diplomatic crisis in the relations between the leading powers of the world. Another feature of this period of time was that in the relations of states, in solving various international problems, peace politicians, in order to tilt the thicket of scales in their direction, increasingly resorted to the services of brazen provocation and false propaganda. As a result, the world became such that it was as if truth and falsehood had changed places in people's minds, and the truth as such, as if it no longer existed in the world. And it seemed that along with the rapid scientific and technological growth of the world economy in all its directions, people, and in some cases even high-ranking politicians, relying entirely on information distributed by the media or on the Internet, taking various biased, custom-made fake news for the truth, forgot how to see the truth and therefore, as if only lies began to rule the world. But everyone believed, based on the predominance of high human reason, that the leaders of the nuclear powers, knowing what a global thermonuclear war would turn out for the planet, would refrain from a military solution by force with the use of nuclear weapons in solving any acute issues in interstate relations and would agree, as during the Caribbean crisis in the sixties of the twentieth century. In any case, humanity will never know what was the reason for the beginning of a global nuclear war. So, from various points of the Earth, from land, from ocean and sea surfaces and depths, short-and medium-range ballistic missiles and huge intercontinental ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads were launched in an instant. The vaunted anti-missile, anti-aircraft missile systems of the opponents, although they shot down several missiles that had just launched, were not corrected by streams of thousands of missiles flying at huge hypersonic speeds at the target, filled with nuclear warheads that split when approaching the target. It seemed that the parties used all their nuclear arsenals accumulated during the years of confrontation to defeat the enemy and used all means of delivering them to the targets for this purpose. In addition to ballistic missiles and other means, recently invented, secret, automatically self-loading, super-powerful electromagnetic guns, that is, the so-called railguns, stationary-mine-based, were used to deliver destructive strike nuclear arsenals. Previously, only a few of these electromagnetic guns, and then with the strictest secrecy, were previously used by the military to secretly launch small, barely noticeable for radars, military reconnaissance satellites into near-Earth orbit. With their trunks almost vertically pointing into the sky, these super-powerful electromagnetic guns, with their lightning-fast, sharply repulsive shots, gave an unthinkably high speed to a metal capsule designed and made specifically from particularly strong metal alloys, inside which small-sized, high-precision, so-called "smart" cruise missiles stuffed with thermonuclear warheads were placed, working on tiny nuclear installations. With the shots of electromagnetic cannons, these capsules in the blink of an eye, that is, in a few seconds, overcoming the Earth's gravity at unimaginably high speeds, were directly launched into the low Earth orbit of the planet and continuing to fly at hypersonic speeds in the near-Earth orbit, these capsules were automatically opened and the rockets inside them were separated from them. The missiles immediately at the command of the operators or automatically according to the programs laid down in advance in them, tuning in to the target and in flight sharply and very difficult maneuvering like small swifts, thereby effectively confusing ABOUT the enemy, flew at unthinkably huge hypersonic speeds towards the enemy. When approaching the target, these ultra-precise, small-sized, smart missiles, while still in low Earth orbit, made a sharp turn over the target and as a result of this maneuver, from top to bottom, almost vertically-perpendicular flight to the Ground, without even having time to get particularly heated by the oncoming air resistance, overcoming the lower, dense layers of the atmosphere, vertically and accurately hit the targets. These small-sized, ultra-precise missiles, equipped with nuclear warheads, were designed to deliver pinpoint strikes on small, but strategically important military facilities, deep bunker command posts of the enemy and jewelry hits exactly on target caused irreparable damage to the enemy. The anti-missile means of the warring parties not only failed, due to their small size and unprecedented speeds, and also, especially because of their low visibility for air defense radars, to shoot down these missiles, but did not even have time to detect and distinguish them from many other objects and space debris randomly spinning in near-Earth orbit. Due to the special electronic complexity of the designs of their targeting heads, which did not perceive other people's radio signals or radio interference at all, the means of electronic warfare against missiles were also not effective against these missiles. And not only EW-s, but even powerful anti-missile laser guns of land and ship-based, as well as special anti-missile neutron guns based on special satellites in a high geostationary orbit of the Earth, could not shoot down these missiles. Because these smart rockets during the flight for a second, at unthinkably huge hypersonic speeds, zigzagged more than three hundred meters unpredictably difficult and varied to change the trajectory of their flight. The ISS crew members watched with horror as at huge hypersonic speeds, huge ballistic missiles with powerful nuclear warheads and small-sized cruise missiles filled with nuclear warheads, fired from electromagnetic cannons, rushed to all the edges of the Globe. Several rockets even flew to the Arctic, that is, to the North Pole of the Earth and to the icy continent of Antarctica. Perhaps there were also military bases of the opponents there. At the same time, in order to achieve a final victory over the enemy, the opposing sides also used a new, the use of which is categorically prohibited, top secret, gravitational weapons in the conditions of any war on Earth. Explosions, dazzling bright lights, thousands and thousands of large and small mushrooms from nuclear explosions have grown on all continents and islands of the Earth, where military bases, strategic objects of opponents or their allies may have been located. These numerous powerful nuclear explosions and the use of gravitational weapons, in turn, served as resonant detonators for indescribably super-powerful wave earthquakes, natural disasters and man-made disasters across the entire surface of the planet. One after another, nuclear power plants, oil and gas storage terminals and everything that could explode and burn on the ground exploded and burned. From above, it seemed that super-powerful fires had engulfed the entire land surface of the Earth. Perhaps the echoes of numerous powerful nuclear explosions and the use of gravitational weapons echoed in the deep layers of the planet, as not only active, erupting volcanoes were activated along the chain, but even numerous volcanoes that had once fallen asleep, including the largest volcano Yellowstone, woke up and began to erupt. The titanic destructive forces of all these volcanoes were thousands of times more significant than all the nuclear explosions and, as a result, the man-made disasters that followed them. The oceans and seas were boiling with underwater volcanoes that had awakened in the bowels of the Earth and raged with previously unprecedented giant waves. Before the eyes of the crew, the eternal ice floes of the Arctic Ocean first broke into several parts, and then the ice floes encircling Antarctica and all these broken parts of the ice floes were rapidly moving towards the equator of the planet. And then came the moment when, as in the times of the mythical wars of the gods, huge water streams, swallowing everything into their depths, rushed from the oceans to the continents. From above, it seemed that the water element was about to swallow all the land on Earth. Meanwhile, the devastating fiery explosive waves of nuclear explosions, sweeping away and destroying everything in their path, circled the globe several times. In a word, in an instant, everything on the surface of the Earth was mixed up. It was an indescribable real hell, an apocalypse on Earth, in the literal sense of the word. Despite the futile requests of the crew, the flight control centers and all ground services in general were silent. Apparently, after the nuclear explosions, powerful electromagnetic pulses, in an instant, cut off all means of communication on Earth and it is quite possible that the ground services after that, simply for a purely technical reason, could not establish communication. Perhaps, even most likely, these services, like all other services, probably could not even survive, since, after a series of annihilatingly devastating nuclear explosions, super-powerful earthquakes that occurred everywhere on the Earth's surface, numerous small and super-powerful super volcanoes and a planetary-scale water element completed the complete and irrevocable destruction of Earth's civilization. Time passed, and the ISS with the crew on board was still spinning around the planet. And suddenly, for a moment, the Earth shuddered for a moment and seemed to make a short stop in its rotation around its axis, and then began its rotation again. A moment later, something vast, seemingly similar to a huge wide funnel, a vacuum void was formed in the Earth's atmosphere over the African continent, and an extremely critical cosmic cold poured into this part of the Earth that was not protected by the atmosphere, along with the Sun's harmful rays, radiation, in the form of a silvery haze. From above, it was visible how, due to the attraction of the planet, the cosmic cold spread rapidly on the surface of the Earth, and the already frozen and icy land surface of the whole of Africa and part of the water surface of the Atlantic mirrored and reflected the Sun's rays back from themselves. A moment later, the already polluted atmosphere of the planet again filled this vacuum void. After that, the entire Earth, up to the stratosphere, was gradually covered with thick dust from nuclear explosions and a volcanic ash pall. This meant that from that moment on, a long, critically cold, nuclear winter began on Earth, which was disastrous for biological life. All the members of the ISS crew, being in near-Earth orbit and having personally seen, as a result of the world thermonuclear war, the destruction of the Earth's civilization, not yet fully believing in it and not fully realizing the irreparable disaster that had happened to their home planet, silently looked into each other's faces. In their eyes, one could read an indescribable terrible horror, fright, confusion and deep inner heartache for what had happened and was already irreparable, a disaster on Earth, and everyone was asking questions: "How and why did this happen, who is to blame, was it really impossible to solve all sorts of issues peacefully, by agreement. Did the leaders and politicians of the leading nuclear powers, who are responsible not only to the peoples of their country, but in general to the humanity of the whole world, to the thousand-year-old Earth civilization, knowing in advance how the world nuclear war will end, how disastrously catastrophic its consequences will be for life on the planet, allow this?" A day passed, but the Earth remained dead silent. A month passed after the disaster, the Earth did not show any signs of life, as if there was only a dusty void behind the ashy fog and there was no longer a blue, beautiful planet called Earth in the endless expanses of the Universe. But all the crew members knew that she, the only and native Earth for everyone, there, behind the ash fog, did not leave her orbit, as before, continues her rotation around the Sun, turns around her axis, otherwise the Moon, her eternal companion and completely dependent on the Earth's gravity, would have left the Earth's orbit. However, the moon, as always, was still spinning, in its orbit, around the Earth. Now the crew members did not argue, did not swear and did not blame the leaders and politicians of a particular state. They silently thought about the fate of their relatives, friends, and fellow citizens, and in the soul of each of the crew members there was still a small hope that, although the scale of the disaster is immeasurably large, but the ground services of the states together will be able to localize the consequences of the disaster, because the entire thousand-year-old earth civilization could not perish in an instant. All the crew members almost all the time, without looking up from the portholes, looked out at the Earth in the hope that the ash fog was about to open, and they would see their native blue planet again, ground services would start working, and they would return to Earth. The crew members were silent and no longer discussed this topic, because each of them well understood and knew what a global thermonuclear war was and how catastrophic its consequences could be. Meanwhile, the ISS was still spinning around the Earth, all the instruments and equipment of the station were working properly. The supplies of provisions and oxygen were sufficient. But the hopelessness of their current situation, and although they did not yet know and could not even conceivably determine the scale of the catastrophe, however, the premonition of the global disaster that had already occurred on Earth, the feeling of losing their relatives and loved ones, increasingly pressed on the psyche of each of them. In addition to this, the Earth for all this time did not give any, even the slightest, signs of life and still continued to keep, a terrifying soul, a dead silence. Although there were five of them on the ISS, but they all already felt lonely and abandoned to the mercy of fate, they occasionally communicated with each other, the rest of the time they were silent, and sometimes, hiding bitter tears from each other, someone, remembering their loved ones, and someone, their former life on Earth, silently cried. All the crew members knew in advance that if the situation did not change, no matter how long their life on the ISS would last, although they understood perfectly well that after the catastrophe on Earth, their further life no longer made any sense even for themselves and that such a situation could not continue forever. They also knew that what an unenviable and painfully tragic end to their life paths was waiting for them ahead. At the end of the fourth month after the disaster, one of the solar panels failed, then the second. Fuel and other means for maneuvering and maintaining the necessary speed of the ISS in orbit were also running out, and were used only for maneuvering, so as not to collide with space debris or, already unmanageable and uncontrolled by numerous satellites that were still spinning around the Earth, issuing emergency radio signals on their radio frequencies. And now the moment has come when, due to an acute shortage of energy, the instruments and equipment of the station began to fail one after another. The usual temperature regime inside the station began to rapidly drop down and the ISS gradually began to freeze. The crew members silently put on their spacesuits. Fortunately, there was still enough food, water and oxygen. He, as the commander of the ship, turned to the crew with the question of what to do, to descend to the dead Earth through an ashen veil at random, not knowing the landing point reliably, or with the rest of the fuel, raising the station to an extremely high, geostationary orbit, accelerate and remain forever in space as extinct exhibits of the human race in the Universe. We decided to do the first, that is, in the absence of ground services coordinating flights, we ourselves made the necessary preliminary calculations to ensure the maximum safe trajectory of the lander's entry into the atmosphere and calculations for the preliminary selection of the landing site and descend to Earth. Because, with a successful and safe landing, if of course they suddenly succeed in this, everyone wanted to see firsthand everything that was happening on Earth, and there was still a small hope in everyone's souls that everything was not lost yet. They hoped that after the necessary acclimatization of the musculoskeletal and other organs of the body to terrestrial conditions, they themselves would be able to get out of the lander, and the spacesuits would reliably protect them from the effects of thermonuclear radiation. And then, with the remnants of the reserves of space food, they will be able to survive on their own planet. With such hope in their hearts, they all moved into the lander. However, due to a lack of energy or perhaps for some other reason, the emergency sensors in the descent vehicle triggered. Despite all the efforts of the crew members, they could not establish and eliminate the cause of the emergency sensors, and for the same reason, they could not undock and break away from the station. In addition, while they were in the descent capsule, for some unknown reason, perhaps due to a slightly larger meteorite hitting the outer skin of the station or for another reason, the ISS was depressurized and the air inside the station and, together with the air, somehow the entire oxygen supply quickly flowed into space. The energy on board the ISS was running out and due to the lack of the necessary energy for management, that is, for these purposes, enough necessary energy, the station became unmanageable. In addition, after depressurization, the temperature inside the station dropped so quickly below the critical norm, so even while inside the station, it was no longer possible to open the visor of the helmet of the spacesuit. All the crew members understood the critical irretrievability of the situation that had already come. After a day, the oxygen in the spacesuits also ran out. The oxygen starvation of the brain cells was already felt, there was a noise in the ears, the head became heavy, it was increasingly difficult to breathe. The crew members hugged each other and said goodbye for the last time. Everyone could see such deep emotional pain and sorrow for the mistake made by their relatives on Earth, but never incorrigible anymore. It was impossible to convey this pain and sorrow in words, because each of them understood that there was no more Earthly civilization, relatives and friends, and soon, very soon, they, that is, the last earthlings from the genus of Adam and Eve, would go into an irrevocable eternity. After some time, the instrument monitoring the health status of the crew members showed that two of the crew members did not show signs of life, two were unconscious. He, too, like all the other crew members, already resigned, prepared for them by fate, the tragic end of his life, began to lose consciousness, but at the last moment, before losing consciousness, he felt a slight push and on the monitor screen saw an alien spacecraft smoothly docked to the ISS. After that, he lost consciousness.

CHAPTER 2

In a Foreign land

He woke up in an unusually light-bright space. It was not the cabin of a large spaceship, or a huge hall without windows and apparently even without doors. Nearby, dressed in a cloak of gray material, an alien stood silently, looking and describing very similar to the aliens from the fantastic films of earthlings. But this alien was very taller than the ones he saw in the movies, that is, if he determines by eye, then his height was about two and a half meters. At first glance, the alien's face and gaze seemed to him not terrible, not evil and not ferocious, as in those fantastic films about aggressive alien predators-aliens or about terminators-destroyers, but kind and smiling. The Earthman turned to the alien:

– Where am I, where are the rest of the crew? The

humanoid looked at him and did not frame a word, but at the same moment he somehow telepathically transmitted to the human brain, in the form of thoughts brought from outside, words;

– This is our planet, it is called the Green Planet, our Sun is a Blue star. All the time, without interfering in your life, we are watching you, studying the Earth, the Earth's civilization. However, we did not have time to prevent a nuclear catastrophe on Earth. Unfortunately, the human brain is very complex and does not lend itself to our full study. We can somehow inform you about the upcoming catastrophe of a cosmic scale, change the trajectories of a particular cosmic body, potentially threatening the Earth on a large scale. Even by telepathic influence on the human brain, we can stop him from committing any actions if we establish that he is planning something global, not good, but we cannot predict in advance what he is thinking and will do, even in a minute. Therefore, we could not foresee in advance, and will prevent a nuclear war. And although we knew that every day, step by step, the interstate relations of the nuclear powers of your planet were getting more and more heated, however, on the issue of nuclear war, we fully and completely relied on the high intelligence of humanity. We believed that you would refrain from using nuclear weapons because you invented these weapons yourself, you knew in advance that a global thermonuclear war would lead to what tragic consequences, what catastrophic consequences this war would have for the planet, for the entire Earth's civilization, if not forever, then for many, many times. But as you can see, we made a mistake and this disaster happened. It is quite possible that we, of course, except for you, have lost all our earthly brothers in mind as a result of this catastrophe. We will return to this topic later, since our experts have not yet reliably studied the consequences of a nuclear war on Earth and it may still be possible to save the survivors of your relatives and restore your earthly civilization. Now let's talk about the ISS, where you were and survived the thermonuclear war with the entire crew. So, by the time our ship arrived, other members of your crew had died off brain cells due to prolonged oxygen starvation and their brains were already beyond repair, so we did not revive them. Only you were resuscitated. Fortunately for you, our patrol ship was in your galaxy at the time of the nuclear disaster. Our planet is not suitable for you. Although the atmospheric air and all other conditions of our planet are somewhat similar to your planet, but the inhabitants of the upper layers of our planet are very aggressive for human flesh. Without a special protective suit, you will disappear in an instant into the living, green haze of our planet. For our body, the environment of this planet is not only harmless, it is even useful. Therefore, you can only go outside in special spacesuits. And we will feed you with specially prepared food, just for you, so as not to harm your body and will support all the functions of your body at the level. We ourselves never eat, as earthlings eat. Our body is arranged in the same way as in your science fiction films about the terminators, but at the same time we are not robots, but living beings. Inside our body, a biochemical chain reaction takes place all the time, which carries out a continuous exchange at the cellular level and the body feeds and recovers at the expense of the air of our planet. And in the absence of such or similar air, our body can automatically reconfigure itself to an unfavorable mode of existence and on this mode, too, for an indefinite long time, we can eat and exist at the expense of any gaseous substance of biological, plant or even sometimes chemical origin. However, with a very long unfavorable mode of existence, our body is very weak, but we do not die at all. Therefore, we live a very long time, compared to human life, almost forever, with the exception of …

The humanoid did not finish the sentence and the telepathically transmitted thoughts to the human brain were automatically blocked. But the person immediately thought that humanoids can only be destroyed in some physical way and immediately thought to himself, " why, why do I think so, they saved me, they want good for us. Only for us, that is, for human nature, these qualities are inherent, to kill and take possession." Putting these thoughts aside, he also asked a question;

– And, how long has it been since you took me from the ISS?

"Eight years by your earth standards.

The man asked in surprise and quickly;

– Your planet is so close to Earth. Why did we never know about the existence of your planet, or at least a Blue star?

– No, the distance between our planets is measured in several hundred light-years. But, our ships overcome this path in just eight earth years. Our galaxy is located next to your galaxy, almost on parallel planes of outer space and they rotate equally parallel and only in one direction. Due to the fact that the galaxies are located on parallel planes, your Solar system is always parallel almost next to our Blue star, respectively, and with our Green planet. This explains the proximity of our planets. However, despite this, your telescopes do not see our galaxy, since there is a huge, dark, dusty cosmic-scale nebula between our galaxies, making it difficult for your telescopes to see.

–This is incomprehensible to the mind and according to all the laws of the universe, this is not possible. How is it possible to overcome such a distance so quickly and why have our telescopes, and scientists who make their theoretical conclusions based on a comparison of other scientific data, not yet noticed this dusty nebula and have not discovered your galaxy?

–Your telescopes do not notice the dusty nebula because it is reflected in your telescopes as a dark and huge empty cosmic abyss of the Universe, and for the same reason your scientists have not discovered our galaxy. As for the Law of the universe, we do not understand what Law of the universe we are talking about. The universe has its own comprehensive Laws in this regard, the knowledge of which will allow us in the future to develop the speed of our ships even several times faster than the speed of light. Therefore, it is possible to overcome such a distance even faster. Our time is also measured by other standards and the technology of the structure of ships, their movement in space is completely different…

The alien, apparently knowing the abilities of the human brain for rapid assimilation, remembering and processing of the received information, most likely, even most likely, for a completely different reason, even if in the form of telepathic thoughts, did not want to give out to a person the technological secrets of shipbuilding that they had achieved. It is very possible that they are strictly prohibited by their internal rules, and therefore he stopped for a moment and then went on a little sharply;

–Do not ask any more questions on this topic, you will not get an answer to them yet. Maybe a little later I will tell you our secrets of shipbuilding. Now they will put on a spacesuit for you. Then you will be taken outside, and there you can admire our planet.

– Oh, can I ask you one more question?

And without waiting for the alien's consent, the man asked a question;

–Apart from us earthlings and you, is there life on other planets, in other galaxies and in the Universe in general, do intelligent beings, so to speak, like people or similar to people or like you, beings, individuals, live there?

–There is life in one form or another everywhere, even in many planets of your galaxy and in all other galaxies that we know and there are different, intelligent and non-intelligent, simple and complex in the structure of the organism, small in size, microscopic and gigantically huge, and innumerable diverse living beings by origin. However, we have not met any living beings whose mind and intellectual thinking are similar to our or human minds. All other intelligent beings that we have met are very aggressive and use their minds only to enslave or destroy other living beings in order to satisfy their food needs or to eliminate competition in certain territories of their habitat. We call them beings with a dark mind. However, everywhere, throughout the universe, there is an echo of a high, kind, noble mind, which we feel every day, but by whom and how this good mind spreads throughout the Universe, we cannot establish. Even if living beings are the distributors of this high, kind mind, then they probably live in the vast expanses of the Universe far from us, where our ships cannot yet fly. Therefore, we can definitely not say who or what is the source of this mind, from where, from whom, from a living being or from any cosmic body of the Universe, this good, high mind comes from. Maybe the high mind has always existed, exists and will exist forever in the Universe itself as a particle of it, and moreover, perhaps the bottomless Universe itself is the high mind, from which our, and your brains are more and more exhausted, more and more knowledge and we are developing further. Although we do not know the source from which this intelligence comes, our consciousness and our modern intellectual level of development tells us that if this high intelligence did not exist in the universe, we would no longer develop intellectually, but would stop at the level of development of an innate instinct. And perhaps they would not even have been born. Therefore, we, too, like you, are inclined to believe that the so-called "gods" described in your sacred religious books may be the distributors of this high intelligence and the original creators of all living beings in the Universe. Perhaps we, you and others, unknown to us, living, but intelligent, similar and not similar to us beings of the Universe are projects of even more comprehensively highly developed intelligent beings who, having created us, gave us a chance to exist, live and determine our fate in the Universe. One way or another, we exist and are the owners and carriers of high intelligence, and we must use this right.

The alien, having interrupted telepathy, stopped a little and apparently he was confused to transmit or not to transmit to a person information that is at their disposal and is very important for earthlings. But apparently deciding that this cannot be left for later, but it needs to be done now, he continued;

– Not far away, a few hundred light-years from your galaxy, there is a dwarf galaxy called "Ovf", which means "Disgusting" in translation from our language into human language. We did not give this name for this galaxy because the galaxy itself is like this. No, the galaxy itself is no different from other galaxies, except for the small size of the coverage of territories in the space of the Universe. And, they gave such names and entered them into the registry of the mission control center of our ships specifically, for a quick and unmistakable distinction from other galaxies and determining its location. There are three planets in this galaxy that are very similar to the planet Earth in all their parameters, atmospheric air, vegetation, biological and ichthyofauna and all other conditions, that is, with the locations and periods of rotation around their star, circling around their axis, even in masses, density and diametrical dimensions. The difference between these three planets is that all these planets, being at a uniform distance of remoteness from their star, rotate around their star in the same direction and in the same orbit, at a uniform distance of remoteness and sequence from each other, with absolutely the same speeds and rotation periods. These three planets are inhabited by living, very highly intelligent, but not similar in appearance to us or to humans, but at the same time physically very strong, hardy, too tenacious and very aggressive against other living individuals of the Universe, biological beings. But their mind, the intelligence of thinking, as well as their appearance, are significantly different from our mind, that is, as mentioned before, they have a very aggressive "dark mind". As I have already mentioned, the mind of these biological beings, like our mind, is very developed. They also have modern large intergalactic ships that move them in space at a speed exceeding the speed of light. And in general, in all spheres of life, in the fields of science and technology, weapons, they are developed, just like we are. The difference between their mind and our mind is that they continuously develop and use their mind not for good purposes, but only for enslaving and eating other living biological beings other than them. In a word, they are strikingly highly developed, intelligent parasites-predators of the universe. According to our sources, several thousand years ago, these three planets of that galaxy were previously inhabited by biological beings, not very developed by reason, whose appearance is very similar to you, that is, to earthlings, at an early, primitive stage of human development. But having arrived, unknown to us, from the distant depths of the Universe, these amazingly intelligent, predatory parasitic creatures, taking advantage of their advantage in technological development, occupied these planets without much resistance. After defeating and enslaving the inhabitants of these planets, they drove them all into special reservations. Then, at a genetically high-tech level, their reproduction was put on stream as cattle, they were used to performing everyday work in everyday life, and mainly they were used as food. According to our data, the resources of these planets for the residence and reproduction of predators have recently significantly decreased, because due to the long and incompetent use of genetic technologies for reproduction, the biological resources of these planets, which were the main food for predators, began a mutation, which in turn led to their gradual mass extinction. For this reason, it is very likely that these parasitic predators will soon begin, if they have not already begun, to search for new planets inhabited by biological beings to enslave their inhabitants and satisfy their food needs. It is possible that for this they will choose your Land, which according to all the data, that is, parameters, atmospheric conditions and all other criteria is suitable for them.

–But, neither the Earth's civilization, nor humanity is no more. Why do they need our naked planet Earth now?

– The invasion will not begin soon. According to our calculations, it will take several more centuries, or even a millennium, before the invasion begins. According to the calculations of our scientists, by that time the Earth itself and the Earth's biological, plant life in one form or another will definitely be restored. Whether the human race will recover or not, we don't know yet. Our scientists will work on this.

– How about the guinea pigs?

– No, no one is going to conduct any experiments or experiments on you. According to our, but not yet fully reliable and not fully verified data, man is still the only highly intelligent living biological being in the entire Universe, very similar in mind to us. Only unlike our brain, which can be encoded and programmed even before we are born, the human brain is very complex, develops quickly, continuously and does not lend itself to any long-term or even short-term coding, programming. Just think about the fact that your scientists, both biologists and doctors, have been studying your brain for centuries, but in terms of knowing the very process of the human brain, how and how such an accurate mapping, perception and evaluation of the external world around you takes place in your brain, they have almost no achievements. They can only put forward various hypotheses on this topic, passing off these hypotheses as scientific discoveries in the field of studying the brain and stating the fact that a person, unlike animals and other living beings, is made by their mind, which is introduced from outside and contained in the neural cells of their brain. Perhaps they are right in some ways in their scientific works, but your and our scientists are still very far from a full and comprehensive study of the origin of the human mind and the work of his brain in order to reliably draw absolutely correct conclusions in this direction. Our scientists know absolutely exactly what substances, what parts and particles human brain cells are made of, that a human cub acquires an intelligent soul already in the process of its intrauterine development, with the first movement of a human fetus, and from this moment the active development of cells, that is, neurons, of the human brain begins. However, due to the fact that the brain cells of the intrauterine fetus and then the newborn baby are not yet sufficiently developed, although their brain neurons also receive the same information from the mind as the neurons of the adult brain receive, these brain cells cannot process even the meager information received from the mind. The brain performs all this as it develops, until the end of the physical life of brain cells, which occurs in connection with the onset of biological death of the brain and all other internal organs of a person. However, for our scientists, the process of brain formation after the birth of a human cub, its subsequent development, as well as the process of processing information received from the mind by its cells, in contrast to the work of your other organs, remains the most mysterious. And therefore, the human brain for us is still not fully studied and not solved, we can even say a mysterious human organ. Now, if it were possible to separate a person's soul from his brain in a controlled way, then it would be possible to study both the soul and the human brain separately. But in such cases, that is, when the soul is separated from the brain, at the same second losing its ability to think and its other physiological and cellular-metabolic properties, the human brain also dies quickly and irrevocably. And the human soul, in such cases, reliably knowing that clinical death will necessarily be followed by biological, that is, final, brain death, initially without losing its configuration and integrity, already at the stage of clinical death, leaves the brain in a thousandth of a second. However, after the soul has left the human brain, it is in close proximity to the physical body of a person, waiting for the onset of biological death of his body. And with the onset of biological death, the body, finally convinced of this, the soul irrevocably leaves it and after a certain time, gradually losing its integrity and configuration, but not disappearing at all, dissolves in the environment in the form of undetectable particles of the atmosphere. To determine the particles and assemble the human soul into one whole, to study it, after his death, have never been successful before, since the speed of movement of the soul in space is several times greater than even the speed of light and no high-tech equipment will help here. In a word, after the onset of biological death, it is not only practically impossible to do this, but we can say that by now even scientifically proven solid theories on this matter do not exist. But, science also allows for such a hypothetical theory that, theoretically, the human soul can be separated from the brain and studied separately. This theory can be put into practice only if, I emphasize this, if a person is still alive and practically healthy, the work of all his internal organs is stable and his brain cells are fed as usual with a healthy body, but he himself is in a state of passive, regulated artificial sleep. In this case, the human soul, as a whole, intelligent, but as an invisible and elusive being, without losing its configuration, will be guaranteed to know that at any time it can return to its habitual environment, that is, to the brain, where the brain cells have everything necessary for its further existence. Taking advantage of this, with the help of high-tech equipment, it will be possible to artificially squeeze the soul out of the brain, and then study both the brain and the soul separately. After all, science has irrefutably proved that during sleep, a part of the human soul, namely, its intelligent part, for a short time, voluntarily leaves the human body. In this short period of time, this part of the soul, moving in space at unimaginably high speeds, manages to visit everywhere, even in the planets of your Solar system, and at the same time, without losing contact with the brain, transmits everything seen to the brain of a person who perceives all this as a dream during sleep. Our scientists believe that in some cases, for example, when a person falls into a state of prolonged coma or a long lethargic sleep, the intelligent part of his soul, leaving the brain cells, during this allotted time, without losing contact with the brain, manages to visit not only other planets, but even other galaxies. When the mind leaves the human brain during sleep, it sometimes, moving in free space, meets and communicates even with the memorable particles of the soul of their relatives or friends, but long-dead people. Therefore, in your dreams, as if all this is happening to you in real life, sometimes you seem to meet and communicate with your relatives, friends or acquaintances, but people who have long died, and sometimes even receive information from them, in the form of advice or warnings. Our scientists have established that during sleep, when a reasonable part of the human soul voluntarily leaves the human brain for a short time, another, that is, the life-supporting part of the human soul, necessarily remaining in the brain cells, in the absence of a reasonable part, without losing connection with each other, ensures the normal functioning and rest of the entire human body. This whole procedure with the human brain and its soul happens as usual, often and arbitrarily, sometimes even every day, without any artificial compulsions. Moreover, our scientists are inclined to assume that this is an obligatory, everyday procedure of your mind during sleep, so that your brain cells, in addition to everyday visual or other perception of the world, even during rest, receive more and more information from your mind and develop and enrich more and more knowledge of the world around you. But, in turn, your still developing brain, due to the low level of development of the cognitive part of your brain cells, does not yet have time to physically accept, scan and process all the information provided to it during sleep, in the form of dreams, by the intelligent part of your soul. Therefore, when a person wakes up after a dream, filled with different, but not yet processed information, his brain does not immediately think and assess what is happening around him, the situation. In addition, he then quickly forgets everything or only fragmentally remembers his dream, unless of course the pictures seen and transmitted by the mind are previously familiar to him and are connected with his daily life. Sometimes, in such cases, if the dream is very complex and the cognitive part of his brain cells is not previously familiar with the pictures of the dream, he does not even remember what he saw during the movement in space and transmitted his mind to the brain, being in other, far places from the location of his physical body. And, everything else, what he remembers fragmentally in such cases from this dream, is perceived by a person as a nightmare. Over time, that is, as your brain cells develop, your brain will be able to receive, scan and process all the information presented to it by your own mind, and then you will see, evaluate and even know everything that is happening in the Universe without much effort, even without telescopes, without space probes and high-tech equipment. Although our scientists, everything I have said now, has been theoretically proven on a scientific basis, but practical evidence in this direction has not yet been received. This can be practically proved, as I have already said, if we separate the soul of a person from the brain, of course, still alive, and study them separately. But so far, for scientific study, no one, that is, your scientists, and our scientists, has managed to artificially separate the inseparable connection of the intelligent part of the soul and the human brain, without harming the further functioning of the brain. However, we have accurate information that your scientists on Earth were working on a project in secret laboratories, so that later, in any still alive, healthy person, at the right moment, of course, without harm to his body and health, especially without harm to the brain, he would be able to separate the intelligent part of his soul from the brain cells. The ultimate goal of their work was to, after separating the intelligent part of the soul from the brain cells, make the necessary changes in the mind of the person being tested, correct and direct the action of his mind at his discretion and return it back with an altered mind to the human brain and thus control the mind of any person. In a word, this meant attempts to create biologically living, thinking biorobots, whose appearance, body structure, behavior, habits and all other anatomical structures and physiological properties of the body are no different from ordinary people, but programmed and unquestioningly fulfilling all the instructions given to them. What results they have achieved, most likely we will never know now. At the same time, we know that the possibilities of the human brain are infinitely huge and infinite, like the universe itself. Therefore, as carriers of a high, noble mind, we will need each other not only now, but especially in the distant future. And we think, and even know, that all is not lost for humanity yet. It is only necessary to find optimal ways to overcome the consequences of a nuclear catastrophe and develop methods for the maximum rapid restoration of biological and plant life on Earth. Our scientists will help you with this. If, by the time the invasion of predators begins, the human race is restored, we will definitely help you to repel the invasion of these intelligent parasites-predators. And, the human race will definitely recover sooner or later, we believe in it.

– After the nuclear war, were there any survivors on Earth? Well, at least someone, that is, people, animals, birds, vegetation?

– After the nuclear disaster, we study the Earth all the time. Very little time has passed, and therefore it is difficult to assert or deny anything now. But one thing I can say for sure is that in the deep waters of the oceans, where underwater volcanoes did not erupt, the life of waterfowl was preserved in immeasurably small quantities. In addition, when we were saving you, our radars detected one, the only nuclear submarine that survived the thermonuclear disaster in the northern latitudes of the planet, but we do not know anything about the further fate of this boat and its crew. We then unsuccessfully tried to contact the crew to pick them up from the nuclear submarine and save them. However, for some reason, their means of communication for contact did not work, perhaps in order not to reveal themselves, they were in full radio silence, and when our small landing ship appeared for visual contact with the crew, the boat hastily plunged and disappeared under the water, apparently taking us for an enemy. After that and the subsequent time, no signals came from them. Due to the fact that we are well aware of the potential for survivability and autonomous existence for a long period of time of your nuclear submarines, we rate the survival of the crew of the boat after the disaster very highly. This is possible if at the time of the disaster there were large food supplies in the boat, and during this allotted time they found a place on the shore where they can then periodically replenish food supplies. It is still possible that there are living people in government bunkers and billionaires ' bunkers who built these bunkers of life in order to wait out, survive and stay alive in the event of nuclear wars or other global natural disasters and cataclysms on Earth. But the territories where these bunkers were located were subjected to such targeted, furious nuclear attacks by opponents that we even doubt that even if there were survivors there, they have very little chance of getting out of the bunkers to the surface, since in many places they were flooded by ocean waters. And where the water did not flood, there the earth turned into a charred, black lifeless radioactive mess and in these places directly on the surface in the soils of the earth and, accordingly, in that radius and in the atmosphere, a disastrous concentration of radiation for biological life has accumulated, which will persist for centuries. Whether they will survive in such circumstances depends on the reserves of water, food, oxygen and the technical equipment of these bunkers for autonomous existence for very many years. And after a certain time, when they run out of these supplies, their survival depends on the fact that if they have a sufficient number of protective suits against radiation, and if they get out safely, and also if they leave these places safely quickly. In addition, in large megacities or in cities where there were subways, in metro tunnels where water did not flood, a certain number of people who were there directly at the time of a nuclear war could remain alive. But due to the fact that they did not have food and other necessary means of subsistence, all of them may have died long ago. However, there are also territories on Earth that have suffered less from nuclear explosions, volcanic eruptions and flooding of ocean waters. The radiation background in these places, as well as on the entire surface of the Earth, was quite high immediately after the nuclear explosions, but after the passage of time, unlike other places, due to the fact that there were no nuclear charges exploding in the immediate vicinity, the concentration of radiation in these places significantly and rapidly decreases. Therefore, it is very likely that people, animals and vegetation may have survived in these territories. We are carefully studying these territories and if this is the case, we will definitely inform you. By now, most volcanoes have passed the active eruption phases. In addition, our scientists have done everything to ensure that the thermonuclear winter does not last long, that is, that the dust and ash shroud from the atmosphere quickly settles on the earth's surface and the vital rays of the Sun penetrate to the Earth. These works have already borne fruit and the sun's rays in some places pass through the veil and the nuclear winter is gradually receding. And how long will it take for biological life on Earth to be revived again and everywhere? There is no answer to this question yet, since the scale of the disaster was terrifying and immeasurably very large. But the main thing is that the Earth withstood the catastrophe, did not split into parts, did not descend from its orbit, as before, rotates around its star and revolves around its axis, retained its attraction, and as a result, although very polluted, it also retained its atmosphere. However, the widespread super-powerful earthquakes and the eruption of large and small volcanoes that occurred on the surface layers of the Earth subsequently echoed very negatively in the inner layers of the planet. So, after the nuclear catastrophe, some strong changes also occurred in the bowels of the Earth in the form of tectonic shifts, mixing and multiple faults of the lithospheric plates, resulting in subsidence and separation of continents, which led to the formation of numerous, large and small islands on the Earth's surface. But we do not yet know what the further consequences of these shifts and faults will be for the planet Earth, whether it will retain its life-supporting properties for biological beings in the future. I also want to inform you that the Earth rotates around the Sun, in its orbit at the same speed as before, but it rotates around its axis a little faster than before. This was due to the fact that the powerful fiery explosive waves of thermonuclear explosions in the form of hurricanes, which circled the Globe several times in only one direction, in which direction the planet also rotates, increased its rotation around its axis and now the speed of rotation of the Earth by your time-measuring standards is a little more than twenty-three hours.

After listening carefully to the alien's answers, the earthman thought about the people who might have remained in the bunkers, that is, about those people-hawks who started a thermonuclear war, who probably dreamed of a blitz victory and clearly did not expect and perhaps did not even expect the onset of such irreparable catastrophic consequences. Most likely, they expected that the consequences of a nuclear war would not be so catastrophic and disastrously long for the planet, and perhaps they thought that during the time they would sit in bunkers, the Earth would quickly recover, and they alone, then their descendants, would be the owners of not estimated energy and other earthly riches. However, as you can see, this, initially erroneous, calculation of their specialists was not justified, and even if they with their families and with their entire team, servants and their families survived the nuclear war and remained alive, now being in bunkers or even going outside, they are probably already reaping the terrible fruits of their atrocities.

After conversations with an alien (if the telepathic information and the humanoid's answers to human questions and his instructive message about safety measures and precautions can be called a conversation), spacesuits were put on him and another humanoid in spacesuits, standing next to him, took him by the hand, only somehow lifted him up with an eye movement. In the bright space, a small opening opened for the blink of an eye, and he, along with the humanoid, at the same moment found themselves among the green thickets. The alien disappeared so quickly that the man could not even figure out how he did it. He felt the hardness under his feet, the upper layer was soft like a carpet, but it looked green, and slowly began to step forward. There was no one nearby, but continuing to move, wherever he turned his head, a single phrase "north, south, east" immediately sounded in his native language, indicating the direction of his gaze. He sat down on a lonely protruding object that looks like an earthly mountain stone, but is absolutely green in color. I looked around, there was not a living soul around, on the vast and flat expanses of this planet, only greenery, similar to terrestrial algae, was covered. There were no trees, mountains, rivers, there were no mosquitoes, birds, animals, in general, no living creatures and no other vegetation except greenery. There were no cities, factories and factories on the surface of this planet, well, absolutely no infrastructure, there was not even that bright-bright hall where he had recently been, there were no clouds, a cloud like on Earth, but only an unusually clear, pure blue-blue sky. The blue star shone so brightly that it was impossible to look in its direction. There is only an endless green space around. He wanted to touch this green, but it immediately stuck to the suit as if it were alive and immediately retreated. Apparently, the spacesuit has some protective properties that repel this greenery. He repeated this movement several times, but after three attempts, the green, when the person's hand approached, began to retreat. "So, this green is not a plant, but some kind of intelligent living being," he thought. And it also seemed to him that it was green, for some purpose, an artificially created living being by someone. Whatever it was, the monotony of the nature of this planet so quickly tired and his soul was suddenly seized by an irresistible longing for everything earthly. Although he knew that after such a nuclear and subsequent man-made and natural disaster, which he saw with his own eyes, it is not possible for living biological beings to survive there, however, in his soul he did not lose hope for a minute that everything is not lost yet, that all Earthly life will be restored. He missed home so much, his family and friends, although for some reason he no longer remembered their names and could not recall in his memory what they looked like, but he intuitively felt that he was not alone. He wanted so much to return to Earth, his soul was tormented by loneliness, spiritual emptiness. From loneliness, from the thought that there is no more Earthly civilization, that everything is irretrievably lost for humanity, and from the hopelessness of his situation, desperate, no longer able to control himself, he screamed so loudly and began to sob. He didn't even notice that in the same split second, one of the humanoids appeared next to him. Taking his hand, he lifted him up with the same movement of his eyes, and he did not even have time to comprehend how humanoids move themselves by teleportation and move him in space, as he found himself back in that bright hall. Previously, he had read a scientific article about the teleportation hypothesis, but, as he knows, there was no scientific proof of this hypothesis on Earth. And now, although I didn't even have time to comprehend how the aliens teleport, but I myself was a participant, that is, the subject of this action.

While his thoughts were occupied with these questions, the alien turned to him with a question;

– We don't understand why you were shouting and crying. According to our doctors, your health condition is normal. They keep an eye on it all the time. Are there sensors in the spacesuit that also did not detect any deviation in your body from the norm?

– My health is all right. I am a living person and I miss my mother, my relatives and friends, my native Land, which we ourselves destroyed, where everything was, my relatives – earthlings, birds, animals, vegetation, rivers and mountains. Like in the old days, I want to hear the singing of birds, see the joy and laughter of children, the happy faces of couples in love and everything, everything that was on Earth. Perhaps these human feelings are alien to you. I do not know and do not understand how it is possible to live in such a planet where there is only greenery, monotony all around, there are no forests, mountains, rivers, where there are no birds and animals, I have not even seen your children, maybe they do not exist at all. It seems to me that you live a monotonously gray life just for the sake of living. And, we lived on earth, enjoying life, rested, ate, drank, went to concerts, listened to the music of our great composers …

– Yes. And if we add to it that all the time they were dividing the territory and wealth of the Earth, for which they were always fighting among themselves, killing and blowing up innocent people like themselves, and now, being living biological owners of high minds, they themselves destroyed their entire earthly civilization.

The Earthman did not answer, because the alien was right about that.

The alien continued;

– We also have cities where we live, factories where we make not only spaceships and other technical means, but produce everything that we need in life. And we also have children, young people who study, we can say even better than on Earth. The only difference is that already at the birth of each of them, it is possible to determine in advance by the genetic code who he will become in the future, that is, scientists, factory workers, astronauts, and so on, this can no longer be changed. In addition, our children have a very short childhood, since they reach an absolutely mature age in three years after birth, according to your time-measuring standards. Therefore, our children are born not often, but as needed, if for some reason there is a need to replenish our gene pool. At the same time, we do not have any sense of attachment of parents to their children and vice versa, children to their parents. The birth of children and their upbringing are taken for granted by us, the fact that our ranks are replenished strictly to perform work in a particular industry where for some reason there is a shortage of personnel. And, the greenery that covers our planet is only an artificially created living outer protective shell of our planet. This shell is located at an altitude of more than thirty kilometers above the planet and everywhere encircles our planet like a large green ball. The thickness of this living green protective ball, artificially created by us, is more than one kilometer. It absorbs the rays of our Blue Star, regenerates them and illuminates the entire surface of our planet evenly, regardless of whether it is night or day on the back side of the planet. In addition, absorbing the already spent harmful gases, it releases back in a uniform and in the right amount of atmospheric air, which we feed on. But, one of the main functions of this greenery is to protect our planet from the outside. When you came to the surface, you sat down on a green, solid object. In fact, this object is nothing more than one of the devices placed among the greenery, a lot of evenly distributed such devices that control this living greenery and determine "their" and "strangers"in the outer space around the planet. This device, like your radars, telescopes and other technical means of detecting targets in space, detects from afar any cosmic body moving in the direction of our planet, whether it is an asteroid, a comet or an alien ship. Automatically continuously observing these observed objects, it determines their volume, mass and flight path in outer space as accurately as possible and sets objects among them that are potentially dangerously threatening to our planet and transmits this data to our specialists. He opens an opening in the greenery in the right size, freely admits his ships, and when "strangers" are detected, whether it is an alien alien ship, a meteorite, a comet or other small space bodies, this device collects and puts a powerful stopping electromagnetic barrier on their way out of the greenery. This electromagnetic barrier, purposefully affecting the object long before it approaches the planet, first counteracting as a weak repulsive anti-gravitational force, gradually slows down its flight speed, and later catching it in its placed nets, stops their further progress and after that the greenery, dissolving these "strangers" in its depths, absorbs them.

– And whether this green copes with large space bodies. Well, for example, with a very large asteroid or comet?

– No, for this we have special, large and small, security spacecraft that ensure the safety of the planet. After receiving and processing all the data, these ships fly out to meet a large asteroid or comet, potentially and inevitably threatening our planet, long before they approach the orbital boundaries of our planet. Having approached these objects, during a parallel flight with those objects, our specialists carry out the appropriate necessary accurate calculations, and then, by soft, safe contact with subsequent repulsion, they change their flight trajectory to a safe direction for our planet. The number of ships participating in such operations is determined by the size, mass, speed and other parameters of the space body.

– Well, if this protective green, as you said, swallows and dissolves all strangers in its depths, then why didn't this green swallow me, I'm a stranger to them?

"If it weren't for our spacesuit, you would have been dissolved and swallowed up in this green haze in an instant. I warned you about this at the beginning of our conversation. These greens are artificially created and genetically encoded by our scientists to protect and maintain life on our planet. On Earth, a similar function is performed by the ozone layers and other layers of the atmosphere of your planet. Earlier, as on Earth, our planet also had its own atmosphere, similar to that of Earth, which protected us from the destructive rays of the Blue Star, from radiation and the cold of outer space, and from all other, small and large threats coming from outer space. But a thousand years ago, having descended from its orbit as a result of a collision with an asteroid of enormous magnitude, a wandering, huge lifeless planet of our star system passed dangerously close to our planet. This planet, by its gravitational attraction, tore the atmosphere from our planet, and we were forced to artificially create this protective green, which is vital for us, resistant to cosmic cold, harmful rays of a Blue star and radiation. We could not have changed the flight path of this huge wandering planet with all our desire then, and even now, in any way. And therefore, long before the dangerous approach of this wandering planet to us, we calculated its flight path in advance. And only after we were guaranteed that this planet would not collide with our planet, but would fly past, having approximately determined in advance the distance of its flight from our planet and its gravitational force of influence on our planet, we prepared for its approach. So, in a certain, calculated safe depth of the planet, they built extensive networks of tunnels and buildings, and all factories, factories and other important infrastructure and life support communications were transferred there, and they moved themselves so that their gravitational pressure on our planet, this planet at the same time, did not destroy us and our vital infrastructure. A wandering planet, flying past us, ten million kilometers away, that is, by cosmic standards, in very dangerous proximity, without causing any other tangible damage to our planet, tore off its atmosphere and after that, this wandering planet ended its existence in the Universe, in the arms of our Blue star. And we, in turn, continuing to live in the depths, were forced to create this living greenery with artificial intelligence. Moreover, when we created this protective greenery to protect our planet, it was covered directly on the surface of the planet and as it strengthened and multiplied, at first we ourselves gradually raised it to a height, and as the technology developed, we programmed it in such a way that it automatically rises above the planet. At present, there is already a kind of stable atmosphere between the planet and the greenery covering its surface, which, in proportion, has composite gases that are very close to the compositions of gases with the former atmosphere of our planet.

– Does this green mean an artificially created robot by you?

– No, the definition of robot is not quite suitable for it. Our greens are a living being, but at first with an artificially embedded thinking intelligence, and now they are developing independently. Inside this green, as well as in our body, a chain biochemical reaction occurs all the time and due to this, it feeds on harmful gases used in our planet, and from above and the rays of a Blue star. As I have already mentioned, our protective greenery is very resistant to cosmic cold, harmful rays of our star and the harmful effects of cosmic radiation. When creating this greenery, our scientists took as its basis the genetic characteristics of our body, the absorption of gases and its processing to meet the body's need for food.

– As I understand from your stories, artificially created by you, a living protective green-the shell of your planet, protecting the planet and its inhabitants from any external threats emanating from space by dissolving and absorbing them in their depths, growing even more and expanding in size, also has a continuously developing artificial intelligence of thinking? If all this is really true, then are you not afraid that someday in the future it will grow even more, devouring your planet, along with you, turn into a huge and all-consuming dangerous monster of cosmic scale and will not spread throughout the Universe?

– No, we are not afraid. When we conceived and artificially created this vital living protective greenery, we took into account everything that you have just talked about. When creating this greenery, we laid in its genetic basis that we, that is, the inhabitants of this planet, are for it, irrevocably and quickly killing its body, an allergen-a poison for which there is no antidote and it is impossible to invent. In addition, in its existence, this green organically and genetically depends entirely on the gravitational attraction of our planet alone. If trouble happens to our planet, it, in the absence of the gravitational attraction of its native planet, at the same moment ceasing to exist as a living organism, will disintegrate and turn into unnecessary cosmic dust. She understands all this perfectly well, and therefore, in order to avoid her own death, she will never want or even try to absorb at least one of us and will do everything in her power so that nothing happens to her home planet. For these reasons, our protective greens will never turn into a dangerous, all-consuming monster.

– Why are you telling me all this, that is, revealing unknown to others, the secrets of your life and the secrets of the life support of this planet?

– What I have told you is not a secret or a secret, it is our everyday life and the life of our planet, and we are thinking and working on the fact that someday in the future we will completely restore the atmosphere of our planet. In addition, we do not consider humanity to be our enemy. Although we differ significantly from each other in appearance and structure, we are the only brothers in mind. And we value this very much. Surrounded on all sides by an excessively cold, dark and large-scale radiation cosmos that is unfriendly to us, and to you too, which is fraught with innumerable various cosmic-scale dangers visible and invisible to us, thanks to you, that is, humanity, we know that we are not the only soundly intelligent beings in this part of the Universe.

– And yet, why did you not communicate with earthlings earlier? We would have known that there are intelligent aliens besides us, that we are also not alone in the universe, and perhaps, even quite probably, there would not have been a nuclear catastrophe on Earth.

– In this matter, perhaps, you are right. But as I said before, we have been following the development of civilization on Earth all the time, we have not discovered ourselves and have not interfered in your life, so that you yourself, through your evolutionary path of development, know the world, the Universe, the laws of the universe, so that your process of development and knowledge of the world occurs naturally, without any gaps. And if we had interfered with your earthly life earlier, then we already knew for sure that besides you in the Universe, and by cosmic standards relatively close to your planet, there is a planet where intelligent life exists and there is a very developed civilization compared to your achievements, you would not want to develop yourself, but would want to adopt from us all our achievements in the field of science and high technologies. Thus, in the process of the evolutionary development of the human brain, there would be an undesirable gap to develop naturally in the field of cognition of the world, invention and development in all other, different directions. This gap sometime in the future, when making a very important decision on a planetary scale for the salvation of the human race, would have a very negative impact on your actions. After the nuclear war, we had no other options but to interfere in your life, to help revive the Earth civilization that you destroyed and save the human race.

– I am interested in one more question, can I ask it?

– Ask them.

– In the conversation, you mentioned that, without interfering in our lives, you were watching us all the time. Can you tell me how and when life originated on Earth, that is, when and how we appeared there, that is, humanity, the animal and plant world?

– There will be no answer to this question. Earlier, only on the basis of a scientific study of space and a comparison of the data obtained, as well as the hypothetical assumptions of our scientists, we came to the conclusion that there is intelligent life in the neighboring galaxy located parallel to our galaxy, that is, in your galaxy. And we began to observe you since the time of the Sumerians and Orkhons, because we could not do this earlier for a purely technical reason, that is, because we did not have intergalactic spaceships capable of safely and quickly overcoming the distances between our galaxies and returning back. In the early days, when we learned and discovered that in addition to us, in the Universe, by cosmic standards, not far from us, there are intelligent, biological beings like us, we, that is, our ancestors, were very happy about this. Our pioneer missionaries, having arrived on intergalactic ships, for direct communication with earthlings, landed on Earth in small landing ships, but to prevent any possible misunderstandings on their part, they always communicated with earthlings in protective spacesuits and helmets, with dark closed visors. When we communicated with earthlings, that is, not only the Sumerians and Orkhons, but also other peoples who inhabited the Earth at that time, they all took us for the celestials, that is, for gods, deified us and worshipped us as gods. After a certain time, we realized that we had made a big, gross and irreparable mistake, that we were harming their natural development with our appearances and communications, and therefore, without further interfering in the life of earthlings, without revealing ourselves, we only began to observe you from the outside. How and when did life on Earth begin? You will find the answer to this question someday yourself, but now, after the restoration of the Earth's civilization and as your level of knowledge and technical equipment develops, you have reliably studied well first the planets of the solar system, and then the other planets of your galaxy.

– Are there any other types of living beings on your planet, well, say, various living biological or other organisms, as on Earth, that is, animals, birds, fish or other forms of life?

– No, there is no other form of life on our planet except for us.

After these conversations, the alien ordered that the earthman was again put on spacesuits and taken out of the hall. Only this time the person turned out to be on the territory of a large alien city. It was light all around, light, and the light came from above from everywhere, but the source of the light itself was not visible. The alien who was talking to him and the third humanoid, who was waiting for them on the street, put him next to them in a chair of some kind of aircraft and the three of them flew in an unknown direction on this aircraft. There was a huge city below, with various bizarre buildings, and it seemed to a person who was looking at this alien city with special curiosity that the city was so huge and there was no end to this city. Nearby, in different directions, flying machines of different shapes and sizes flew in which humanoids were sitting. There were no streets in the city, there were no alien citizens in sight, only bizarre different buildings without windows and doors. After flying some distance, the device landed on a platform near a building. When they were inside the building, they took off his spacesuit and showed him a room consisting of several rooms and said;

–This is your home, make yourself at home. The dwelling with all the comforts of the earth belongs to you. In our archive, in an electronic version, there are copies of all films and books created or published up to the present time by mankind. So that you can order any book or movie, or even music. It bothers you, no one will be without special need. You can communicate with us at any time by clicking on this button. After that, the alien showed him a tiny red button mounted on the wall, next to the bed.

– No. I will not watch movies or read books. After I saw with my own eyes the destruction of our earthly civilization, I, the only remaining living person, an earthling, being on a distant planet, already knowing that there is no more earthly civilization, I will now never be able to afford to have fun, watch movies, listen to music or read books created by humanity that no longer exists. On my part, this will be an outrage on their bright memory. If you still have copies, then this is good. If, as you have already said, the human race is ever reborn and restored, all this will be useful and will be needed by our future generation. From the cultural heritage of their ancestors, they will know how beautiful our blue planet Earth was, what the Earth's civilization used to be, and how their ancestors, possessing a high intellectual mind, without any interference from outside, destroyed all this essentially heavenly beauty and their thousand-year-old civilization with their own mind and hands.

CHAPTER 3

Knowledge of the secrets of the universe and a long way back home

Some time has passed since these events. No one else communicated with him, but he guessed that he was under the constant supervision of the all-seeing eye of the aliens and in this sense he felt like their prisoner. He did not know when the day comes, when the night comes, how much time has passed since he was on this planet. He didn't even know how long he would sleep, but for some reason he was constantly drawn to sleep. When he woke up from sleep, sometimes it seemed to him that he was sleeping longer than usual and noticed that when he was sleeping, he completely lacked any dreams, and after sleep there was no ordinary human feeling of satisfaction with the next rest of the body. On this occasion, he sometimes thought that " maybe they, somehow remotely acting on my consciousness, make me fall asleep, and when I sleep, they probably study me, conduct some of their scientific experiments at home." But when examining his body, he did not find any suspicious traces on the body and nothing else indicated this either, that is, he felt almost completely healthy, and his psyche without any deviations from the norm, and therefore he tried in every possible way to discard such thoughts from his head. However, he gradually got so tired of such monotony of days and his lonely, boring and aimless pastime in this confined space, in the form of an apartment of a residential multi-apartment city earthly house, that he was increasingly seized with indifference to such, one might say, from the point of view of a living, healthy person, dependent, even pathetic kind of his existence. He was no longer interested in the monotonously gray and boring life of aliens, or even in certain quirks, peculiarities and differences of this planet. He realized that without the inherent environment for humanity, he could not, and did not want to exist at all anymore. He sometimes, than, in such a pathetic way to exist here in a foreign land, just wanted to leave his life, and so he once, desperately and imploringly turned to an alien:

–I can't and don't want to stay here anymore, thank you for saving and sheltering me. But it would be better if I died there along with all my relatives, than to exist here as the only living, pathetic exhibit of an already extinct human race. Loneliness and aimless existence for human nature is worse than death. I want to return back to the Earth, to humanity, to my relatives and friends, to friends. If they all died and I am also destined to die there, then at least I will bow to their ashes before dying. Please bring me back to Earth if possible? And if this is impossible, then I would prefer death than such a miserable kind of existence.

The humanoid looked at the man so calmly and indifferently, without any sympathy in his gaze, and answered;

–According to our data, the planet Earth is currently not suitable for human and in general for all biological, plant life, and therefore, we cannot now, and we will not send you to certain death. You'll have to wait. But you will have to wait for a very long time, that is, for centuries, and no matter how much you want it yourself, your one human life will not be enough for this time. Therefore, we ourselves would like to suggest that you make a decision and give us your consent in order to place you in a special bio-chamber to preserve your body in an unchanged state for a very long time, without compromising your health. And then, when all the conditions for biological life are restored on Earth, they decided to take you there and restore all the functions of your body there again, that is, in other words, it will revive you again. But if you definitely and specifically do not want to stay with us, that is, while in the bio-chamber, to wait out the restoration of the Earth and the revival of life on the planet, then I offer you another option.

He, interrupting a little, added;

–Our scientists are constantly studying and exploring the universe, looking for ways to protect themselves not only from intelligent parasites-predators and other, known to us in advance and unknown, monstrously diverse and terrible dangers emanating from the depths of the bottomless cold and unfriendly space, but also from another, more global and especially problematic for us, danger. Such a danger comes to us from the galaxy eaters. On Earth, your scientists call them Black holes. Just as your scientists knew that Black holes are the cores of every galaxy. Our scientists have established that Black holes first create galaxies by the big bang. That is, all Black holes, absorbing absolutely everything that is in its gravitational space, gradually become titanically, that is, unimaginably dense and gigantically large. And then, as a result of an internal thermonuclear or other reaction, expanding, reaching a certain limit size in their expansion, they always and inevitably explode, and when they explode, they throw millions, billions, perhaps even an uncountable number of burning fragments of different sizes into the dark and cold outer space. After the explosion, at the site of the explosion, the remnants of their nucleus are always preserved from Black holes and these remnants are attracted to each other by the force of attraction, immediately after the explosion, connecting, forms small Black holes spinning around their axis. These newly formed Black holes, although they are still not large enough in size, but they immediately have huge gravitational forces of attraction from the moment of formation. Acting with their gigantic force of attraction, they first stop all the cosmic bodies that are close to them from moving further away from themselves, and after that, acting through them in all directions in the form of spiral chains, they also stop all the other cosmic bodies that they have thrown away. And then, keeping these cosmic bodies at a certain distance from themselves, they begin to rotate them around themselves and thereby gradually creating this or that new galaxy. And all the burning fragments ejected by the Black hole after a certain time under the influence of the uniform gravitational pressure of the cosmos from all sides, acquire a rounded, and, some of them even, a convex shape and turn first all into burning bright stars, and then after a certain time, some extinct stars turn into planets. And some small stars that are close to a large star, under the pressure of the latter, while still in the process of thermonuclear combustion, exploding, form a gas and dust nebula in space, thereby creating conditions for the formation of a large star around the still burning one, and others, that is, in terms of origin, it is different from other, various planets. Thus, various large and small star systems with their own planetary systems are born inside this newly formed galaxy. After a certain amount of time, which is billions and billions, perhaps even trillions of years, Black holes, gradually absorbing all the cosmic bodies close to it, again become gigantically large and unimaginably dense. After that, they begin to actively collect all the cosmic bodies of their galaxy back, that is, in other words, they devour them, so that later, again after billions and billions of years, they explode and re-create this or that galaxy. For example, on Earth, scientists believed that some galaxies seen by your telescopes, located close to your galaxy, are moving away from you at such a speed and that it seems that they are about to leave the field of view of your telescopes very soon and will be lost forever in the endless expanses of the Universe. But in fact, they do not move far away and do not go anywhere, as according to the Law of the Universe, there are no free places in the Universe, although it is immensely infinite and bottomless. And, no matter how your astrophysicists claim, the galaxies will never collide with each other. This will not allow them to do their own Black Holes, which strictly control and protect their territory assigned to them in the Universe according to the law of universal gravitation. But our scientists at the same time admit the hypothesis that small or dwarf galaxies, which, in comparison with the Black hole in their neighboring large galaxy, respectively, and small Black holes, during the active process of devouring cosmic bodies by large Black holes of neighboring galaxies, can be completely absorbed by its larger neighbor. Such an absorption from the outside will initially look like a gradual but steady movement in space towards each other of two galaxies and their obligatory subsequent collision. Unfortunately, we, limited by the time frame of observing this, even by cosmic time standards, very long-lasting process, will not be able to observe all the subsequent pictures of such an absorption, followed by the devouring of all the celestial bodies of both galaxies by a huge Black hole. Perhaps that is why your scientists, observing only a certain period of time the beginning of the process of devouring the cosmic bodies of both galaxies by a large Black hole, came to the conclusion that after a certain time, the galaxies moving towards each other in space must necessarily and inevitably collide. However, our scientists do not exclude such a hypothetical version of events that if, after all, sometime in the future there is a violation of the Law of the Universe of the Universe and a chaotic collision of galaxies occurs in outer space, without subsequent absorption of celestial bodies by Black holes, then this may subsequently lead to a catastrophic chaos in the Universe. And this, in the end, again hypothetically, may lead to the fact that an eternal, never-ending darkness will prevail everywhere in space, the onset of which would mean that in the universe, never again, any life forms will not be able to be reborn, born again, and cannot exist at all. But this is only a hypothesis, and our scientists hope that this hypothesis will never find its theoretical, much less practical, confirmations. Well, in the meantime, the stars, planets and other cosmic bodies of those galaxies that you think are moving away from your galaxy are attracted to themselves by the unimaginable giant force of attraction of their Black holes, and therefore it seems to you that they are moving away from your galaxy. And in fact, in these galaxies, neighboring to your galaxy, an active process of devouring stars, planets and other cosmic bodies by their own Black holes has been going on for a long time. By attracting them to itself at a certain distance, Black holes, simultaneously with attraction, without releasing and pressing on them with their huge gravitational force, first turns them into dust, and then devours them all. Eventually, a gigantic gravitational, unimaginably huge, very dangerous and absolutely empty, in the literal sense of the word, dark cosmic void appears in that part of the universe. And in the center of this cosmic void, there is only a gigantically large, predatory, absolutely devouring, invisible to telescopes, Black hole, spinning around its axis alone, and there comes an unimaginably cold, pitch darkness for long and long times, until this giant Black Hole explodes. This is the so-called "Big Bang". This has happened, is happening somewhere at the present time, will happen in the future, with a constant frequency of billions, billions of times, that is, infinitely forever. This is the universal and basic Law of the Universe, and without this Law, the Universe cannot exist in its current form, since after a certain time, having spent all its energy, all the currently existing stars will someday go out. And if there are no explosions of Black holes, then even in this case, chaos will occur everywhere in the Universe and only eternal cold, pitch darkness will prevail. Based on this Law of the Universe, Black holes serve as the only irreplaceable and very important source of periodic renewal of very necessary energy and light in one or another part of the Universe. Maybe this is the endless war of high intelligence and the dark forces of the universe. Of course, we will never save the Blue Star and our Green Planet from such a universal, but absolutely necessary Law of the Universe. In the foreseeable future, there is no such danger for our galaxy, and for your galaxy, although the Black Hole of your galaxy, compared to the Black Hole of our galaxy, has already reached a relatively large size. But we always have to think about this, naturally global and inevitable, but at the same time necessary for the existence of life in the Universe, danger, we always have to think in advance, look for, find ways and ways to confront and save our people. This is what the "High Mind" pushes us to do. Although we have a very developed science and technology in all areas, compared to Earth's achievements, we are also powerless against the attraction of Black holes. Therefore, our scientists on more modernized research ships are sent to distant galaxies, where, according to their calculations, Black holes have reached such gigantic sizes that an active process of devouring the stars and planets of that galaxy will soon begin. Another clear sign of this active process, in addition to reaching the gigantic size of Black holes, as our scientists believe, it is possible to accelerate their rotation around their axis. However, as our scientists believe, these hypothetical assumptions alone are not enough for a comprehensive and complete study of this process, and they have not yet been fully confirmed. Therefore, while there, they study the strength and nature of the attraction of Black holes, when, with what changes inside the galaxy and with what other obvious signs, the active and already irrevocable process of devouring their own galaxies begins. Thus, our scientists are looking for answers to questions about whether we can determine in advance, at least approximately, the beginning of these active processes in our galaxy, and in your galaxy. And our shipbuilders, scientists, designers, inventors and developers, based on the knowledge of the universal laws of the universe, are working not only on the modernization of our intergalactic spaceships, but are working to create completely new ships. This is necessary so that the intergalactic ships we are creating, if necessary, can overcome the gigantic force of attraction of the Black Hole of the galaxy, so that we ourselves will not be late, save ourselves and if such a danger comes to you, then help save humanity and find another planet suitable for life, for the continuation of life in the endless expanses of the Universe. Our scientists have long known that theoretically, from the point of view of the laws of astrophysics and comprehensive other laws of physics, it is possible to build ships that can overcome their gigantic attraction at any time and from any distance from Black holes. This is possible only if we invent and create particularly strong, anti-gravity spaceships running on perpetual motion engines-converters of the energy of attraction of cosmic bodies and the endless gigantic energy of outer space itself, into reverse energy. These engines, the very force of energy, the attraction of Black holes and other cosmic bodies could be turned into the same force of energy, but with the opposite, that is, the effect of influence repelling from them, but necessarily regulated by us. If our scientists, inventors and creators of ships find ways to create such ships, then this gigantic energy converted into reverse force on their engines, with the same unimaginably gigantic force as the attraction of Black holes themselves, would push our ships away from them, like unipolar magnetic fields repelling each other. In other words, our intergalactic ships must be absolutely anti-gravitational, but at the same time, with the help of gravitational energy converter engines, they must have enormous speed properties for instantly fast, and most importantly safe and controlled movement in outer space in any direction. Only in this way will we be able to escape from the absorption of Black holes. However, to do this, it is necessary to comprehensively study in detail the Black holes themselves and their unimaginable force of attraction. Our scientists, both astrophysicists and physicists studying quantum and optical physics, shipbuilders are working on this, but so far our scientists have not been able to closely investigate and study the Black holes themselves, their features and differences from other cosmic bodies and establish at least approximately the maximum force of their attraction. Our research ships, unmanned ships, research probes, which we sent for their close study, having fallen into the zone of irrevocable attraction of Black holes, disappeared without a trace, in other words, they were attracted to themselves by Black holes and devoured. Our scientists believe that even particularly high-frequency beam signals that report the disasters of our ships, wherever it happens, could not overcome the force of attraction of Black holes. Beam signals are specially encoded signals collected from strictly defined several rays into one beam, which, due to their special properties, are not subject to planetary and stellar attractions and are released from the ship automatically when an emergency situation occurs that is incorrigible by the crew. Because of their special properties, these ray signals, as if in a chain, but instantly transmitted through the particles of outer space, travel a distance at a speed several times faster than the speed of light and are reflected only in our special receiving stations, which instantly process them and determine the location of our ship in distress. Hence the conclusion that Black holes in the territories assigned to them attract, without any exception, everything that exists in that part of the Universe, and devour them. Therefore, we do not know where that boundary begins, or, as you put it, the so-called "last threshold", beyond which there is no return and even no feedback. Black holes are not planets, stars or other cosmic bodies that we know, they are something else, mysterious and we have not yet studied cosmic bodies. Our scientists only assume that the core of Black holes are formed from the dark and invisible matter of the cosmos, the specific gravity, density and gravitational force of which is several million times greater than that of the largest stars and planets in the Universe. And Black holes also explode because of an unimaginably high density, no longer able to withstand their own unimaginably gigantic force of attraction and the energy accumulated as a result of this compression inside themselves. So, having reached a huge size and an absolutely critical limit of density and no longer being able to shrink any more, at a certain time, we believe, a large-scale thermonuclear or another reaction, unknown to us yet, is activated inside Black holes, and because of this, the process of their expansion to even more huge, immeasurably gigantic sizes begins. And when the expansion process reaches its critical limit, Black holes for an indefinite, by cosmic standards, for a very short time, radiating outer space with their bright rays, become blindingly bright, titanically larger superstars than all the stars combined. After that, their expansion reaches an even more critical limit and a large, blinding explosion occurs and a whistling melodic sound, reminiscent of the word "Hallelujah", spreads into outer space

The alien, interrupting telepathy a little, continued;

– If you have made a final decision not to stay on our planet any longer, then with your consent, in order to preserve your body in an unchanged state for a long time, we will place you in a special bio-chamber. For your information, I would like to inform you that a bio-chamber is a special equipped chamber where all the functions of a biologically living organism go into a dormant, passive mode of existence. At the same time, during the period of a person's stay in a bio-chamber, his body does not age and does not wear out as during active life, since all this time, a constant, full-fledged cellular exchange takes place in the body at the proper level, pre-coded for each person, taking into account all the functional and other features of his body. The work of all other internal organs is suspended during the dormant mode of the body, but at the same time, so that during the time a person is in the bio-chamber, these organs do not lose their physiological functions in the future, their tissue cells too, without aging and wear, are maintained and fed properly. In addition, the lung and digestive tract, so that they do not lose their functions, are filled with a special, harmless for the body, liquid. This is the only way we can preserve your biological body and your life for many years. Having placed you in such a chamber, we will send you on a research ship with our research scientists, who will make a trip to other galaxies. And if, in those galaxies, there is a planet where the living conditions are similar to Earth, where there is biological life and research will establish that nothing will threaten your life and health there, you will be "revived" for a short time. And after that, while our ship is in the immediate vicinity of that planet or in its orbit, again, with your consent, you will be landed on the surface of this planet for a short time, with a guard.

And also, if your planet is restored by the time the mission of our researchers ends, they will land you there, provide you with everything necessary for your stay for the first time and leave you.

–I agree, but I have one more request. For one reason or another, if even before the time your ship will be in our galaxy and within our Solar system, then I really ask you, flying past, show me my home planet, Earth, I miss it very much.

The alien nodded his head in agreement. After that, after a certain time, three aliens (possibly their scientists in the field of medicine) carefully studied all the functional data and features of his body, placed him in a special bio-chamber. He only remembered how the hermetic door of the bio-chamber was tightly closed in front of his nose and immediately fell asleep.

CHAPTER 4

Returning

So an earthling after three hundred years of sleep, if the preservation of human flesh without change for a long time in a special bio-chamber, and then the restoration of the full work of all organs and all other physiological functions of the body can be called a dream, found himself again in near-Earth orbit. Seeing his native Land in such a state, he was so upset, so grieved and cried incessantly. Bitter tears flowed in sparkling drops and flowed down his pale cheeks, which had not yet been completely restored in colors. At the same time, he recalled the laughter of children, the singing of birds, the sounds of nature, animals, and in general, all his former Earthly life. The thought kept spinning in his head all the time: "God, have we, the people themselves, the owners of high intelligence, destroyed all this heavenly beauty ourselves. Was it really impossible to live just like that, enjoying earthly life, without enmity, amicably. Earth, dear forgive us, forgive us!". And the tears kept flowing and flowing down his still pale cheeks. The humanoids, who were alien to human feelings, did not understand all this and thought: "why is a person crying, because he himself remained alive"

The commander of the ship;

– Life on Earth is just beginning to emerge, it still takes the same amount of time for the planet Earth to recover and be suitable for biological life, while you were in the bio-chamber, we have visited other galaxies where there are planets in which there is biological life. But, having thoroughly investigated and studied them, at least somehow close to the Earth's conditions and, accordingly, for the existence of a person there, the planet was not found. Therefore, you will have to stay in a special bio-chamber for at least another three or four hundred years and wait for the restoration of certain conditions on Earth for the existence of biological life in it. Do you agree?

The man listened in silence at first. He didn't want to fly anywhere anymore. After so many years of separation and loneliness, the feeling of the proximity of his native planet gave him determination and strength, and he, being in Earth orbit, no longer felt lonely. Therefore, he confidently and resolutely answered firmly;

– Let me down to Earth, I can't and don't want to wait any longer, I just want to die on my home planet. If there are no conditions for life on Earth, I will die there. The earth gave birth to me and let it also kill me. I don't need to be persuaded. This is my last request to you and my final decision.

"So be it. This is your decision. We will leave you on Earth, just know that with your death, the human race may end. We can clone and create outwardly similar living beings to you, with artificially grafted minds that can be controlled and stopped at any time, forced to obey and obey us, so that they do not make such mistakes that you, the owners of the Earth, that is, earthlings, have made. And we will definitely populate the Earth with these clones, because we can't leave such a beautiful, blue, beautiful planet, in fact, we can say, perhaps, the only paradise for biologically living beings in the entire Universe that is not inhabited by living biological beings. But these artificially created biological beings, although they will look very similar to a person, will never be able to become them and fully replace a person who has a high, continuously and infinitely developing mind and with its incomprehensible, wonderful and alien feelings. Because no matter how hard our scientists will try, however, we will not be able to clone or recreate a very complicated, most mysterious human organ, that is, the human brain, until we can. So, it's not too late to reverse your decision. And during this time, we will study you comprehensively and in detail, without harm to your body, and our scientists will probably discover the secrets of your brain and mind, and on their basis will make new scientific developments for the restoration of a full-fledged human race. You will again become the masters of your own planet. We will help you.

The man did not answer, because after he decided to stay on Earth, it seems to him that there was no point in answering anymore. And it also seemed to him that the aliens were hiding something mysterious from him, but what they were hiding, he could not even guess or guess. However, he was no longer interested in what they were hiding from him and whatever it all meant, they could not stop him anymore. He firmly decided that if the human race ends with his death, then let it be so, you can't return the past, because humanity itself, endowed with high intelligence, having destroyed itself and the entire Earthly civilization, deserved it.

After that, the commander of the ship gave the command to study the Earth, scan and examine it in order to find at least some corner on Earth where there are at least minimal conditions for biological life and so that it would be possible to land it on the planet without much risk to human health. Scans and surveys have shown that many of the volcanoes that woke up during the thermonuclear war have died out. Some were still smoking and sometimes their fiery-hot breath still threw volcanic magma and ash to the surface of the Earth. Over the oceans and close to the ocean of the earth, there were still, at times, radiation acid rains, radiation at the sites of explosions of nuclear warheads and nuclear power plants was still several thousand times higher than the permissible norm. Due to the melting of glaciers, ocean waters filled all the lowlands of the continental parts of the planet and because of this, and mainly due to the forced and rapid displacement and subsidence of tectonic plates, all continents lost their former shape outlines. In all parts of the planet, many small and large islands have formed from continents. Antarctica, due to the melting of glaciers, was no longer half a glacial continent and also repeatedly decreased in size. The ozone layer around the Earth was preserved, the Sun's rays reached the Earth in many places, this meant the complete end of the nuclear winter on Earth. However, after the catastrophe, the Earth rotated around its axis a little faster than before, and the poles of the planet tilted slightly to the side, but the planet maintained its orbit around the Sun. A natural satellite of the Earth, the Moon was at the same distance and circled the Earth as before. These reports of the crew members and the conclusions made on the basis of these data were simultaneously telepathically transmitted to the human brain. And finally, they reported that they had found a place on the surface of the Earth where active biological life began to arise, where there was air, water and vegetation. The radiation was slightly higher than normal, but not harmful to human health, the average air temperature is about 18 degrees Celsius. But only the atmospheric pressure on earth is slightly below normal, that is, it was about 570 mm of mercury column and this point was indicated on the Earth's map. A person who knew the map of the earth well, although it changed beyond recognition after the thermonuclear catastrophe, easily identified this area. This point was located on the Altai Mountains. A day later, after the restoration of all the functions of the human body, a small, descending landing ship of aliens with a person on board separated from a large intergalactic research ship and delivered it to the specified point on Earth. This area was a large mountain plateau, surrounded on all sides by very high mountain ranges. The aliens wanted to leave him provisions, a spacesuit for emergencies, weapons and other necessary equipment. But he refused all this, he no longer needed anything, because he did not want to live alone anymore and preferred to die on his native, but for biological life, in fact, already unfit, in a dead planet. After so many years of separation, he, with tears in his eyes and with a double feeling, that is, on the one hand, indescribable with words of inner joy for returning home, and on the other, with a sense of guilt before the planet, for the destruction of his relatives of the earth's civilization, set foot on his native planet. The alien ship flew away, the Sun was shining as in the old days, and the sky was clear and clear, blue, blue, even without a single cloud. He looked around. Under my feet I saw small shoots of green grasses and large, by earthly standards, ants, who, like in the old days, did not even pay any attention to the appearance of a person, as always, all worked collectively. In order not to accidentally crush and frighten the ants, he tiptoed away from their ant-like path with a light step. He did not think and even in his thoughts did not allow that he would see shoots of green grasses and ants on the Earth, so he was so happy with what he saw that he even cried out: "hello, my native planet Earth, you are alive and I, your son, have returned home to you." Then he deeply and greedily, with all his lungs, breathed in the pure mountain air, kissed the earth. Then, as if by doing this he wanted to forget everything that had happened to him, he took off all the alien clothes and even shoes that had irritated his body and psyche for all these years, and rolled all these things into a ball, threw them in the direction of the stones sticking out next to him. Then he was barefoot, completely naked, and from the boundless joy that he had returned back to his native planet, he bounced around in circles on the grass, rejoiced, sang and danced. Still, a long stay outside the earth's atmosphere of the body made itself felt and from this a little exhausted and tired, he sat down on the ground, then lay down and lay on the shoots of green grasses. In a word, after a long separation, lying completely naked on the grass, with his whole body and soul, truly feeling all the mother's love, warmth, tenderness, and irreplaceability of his native planet on another and from the joy that he returned back, he closed his eyes for the first time, after many years of extraterrestrial life, mentally and physically so much relaxed, closed his eyes. A little later, lying under the sun's rays on the grass, despite the slightly cool, variable breeze, which, a little unpleasantly penetrated his naked body, as if, like a traveler who was very tired from a distant road, unnoticed by himself, he fell asleep in a real earthly, strong, human sleep. He did not know how long he had been asleep, but he woke up already a cheerful and truly happy person from the fact that after how many years of involuntary stay in a foreign land, he found himself back on his native Land and life was born everywhere, everywhere, and now, having seen all this, he no longer wanted to die. The sun was going down and he, in search of a place to sleep, and tomorrow, in order to calmly decide on the beginning of a new life, began to walk towards the mountain. All around it was visible how life on the planet was being born. Clean air, a small breeze, pleasant, gentle and warm weather, small shrubs, various herbs, but he did not meet any living creatures except ants on the way. Perhaps, in addition to ants, they survived a nuclear catastrophe, and then other species of living beings survived. But, as befits the initial instinctive behavior of the inhabitants of the entire living, wild world, they, perhaps from the moment when he landed on Earth, having smelled his smell, that is, having smelled the smell of their eternal enemy-man, instinctively fearfully hid somewhere near him or immediately left the local places. But even so, let it be so, as long as there are many living beings around. And then, when he finds a shelter in these places for himself to establish a new life, he will definitely see them and try in every possible way to protect them from trouble and even help them. So now he tried not to think about other surviving animals at all. He was so happy that after a forced and long extraterrestrial life, he again returned back to his origins, so now he just wanted to sing, shout, rejoice that life is being born again on his native Land, but suddenly, he stopped, froze, as if it was a dream, could not believe his eyes. Next to a large, high and smooth oval mountain stone, suddenly, eight meters away from him, right in front of him, as if a figure resembling him, a man, appeared out of the ground. He saw before him a tall, by earth standards, half-naked, apparently about twenty, twenty-five years old, a light-skinned, but black-haired girl who was holding a spear with a sharp stone tip ready in her hands, either ready to defend herself or attack him. From fear and surprise, he stopped and froze in place as if rooted to the spot. An incomprehensible, cold shiver of primitive instinctive fear ran through his entire body and he was even speechless for a short time. For some reason, at this time, only one thought was spinning in his head, the thought of the first woman on Earth, and he, unable to move from his place, without taking his eyes off her, even for himself unexpectedly, involuntarily and quietly, but quite audibly, muttering, said;

– Eva?

The girl looked at him in surprise and spoke in his own native language, quite clearly and clearly;

– How do you know me, you are not from our tribe and we have never met before. Who are you?

When he heard his native language, he came to himself a little, but still stuttering and very loudly;

"I… I … am from your tribe, I came in peace, I just left you a long time ago. I am infinitely happy that I have returned to my native places.

Then he, directing his eyes upwards and raising his hands, as if addressing the almighty, joyfully began to utter words of gratitude to God; Oh God, forgive us, your children, I will never, never leave my native Land created by you, because there is no other such planet in the entire Universe. Forgive all my fallen relatives.

The girl did not understand why, raising her hands up, this naked stranger was happy and shouting at the top of her voice, and she thought: "maybe this man is crazy, but, in any case, he does not pose a danger to her with his behavior." So thinking, she turned around and started to leave, because she needed to get at least some food for food by the evening. When he saw that the girl was leaving, he immediately fell silent, lowered his hands, following her with a confused look, at first he stood as if rooted to the spot, but after realizing that she was moving away from him, he stumbled after her, and on the run he turned to her;

– Please, girl, don't leave me here, I don't want to be alone anymore, please take me with you.

The girl stopped, and at first he approached her a little timidly, but at the same time a little shyly. She turned away and said;

–At least with something to cover up.
