A journey into the unknown. Planet Argan. Preparing for the flight. Part 1

Greetings, dear readers!

Continuation. The beginning read: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32.

Bill was already waiting for us in the hotel lobby, but before we went up to the room, the three of us had dinner at a local restaurant and took some Beers with us to the room.

We got cozy on the couch like a stone immediately took the bull by the horns.

He said that he had managed to agree in the main Department of Cosmonautics and directly with the chief of spaceport Edgard that we would all go through an accelerated retraining course to gain access to the management of the spacecraft.

When I timidly tried to argue that I, as a biologist, not necessary to pass these courses, I'm not dealing with technology, bill retorted that I in this case will be essential.

"The thing is," he said, " That ergan's spaceships are a symbiosis of living and inanimate matter. They are half composed of bio-thermal mass, the condition and development of which should follow the main biologist of the ship.
Also they have on Board is a huge greenhouse with plants that you have no idea, - he added. Before we allow to fly, you'll have to examine these plants and to know everything to ensure that the crew needed no vegetables, no fruits.

• And Arthur and I also have a lot of work to do to study the principles of such a complex system. Our earthly technology is far behind the technology of our new friends who have sheltered us on their planet.

After a brief pause, he added:

• Try to get to bed early. I'll pick you up early tomorrow morning. We expect no later than eight hours.

With these words, he said goodbye to us, and Arthur and I have long digested the news and lamented that our plans to spend time studying historical documents will have to be postponed indefinitely.

But the orders are not discussed, so we quickly had dinner in the room and went to bed. Fell asleep, ironically, quickly, and slept without dreams.

In the morning we hardly had time to drink coffee, as bill showed up and began to rush us to go.

The road to kosmoport did not take much time, and we, as always, arrived at the destination in advance.

Soon came and Erhard, ordered that we be discharged until time passes and invited us into his office for an interview.

The conversation lasted for at least two hours. Our answers main cosmonaut of the planet was satisfied and conveyed us into the classroom, where he was introduced to the teacher who gave us a General, introductory overview of the history and development of space technology on the planet.

Then we were separated. I was sent to the greenhouse, and Arthur and bill went to the layout of the ergan ship...

Once in the greenhouse, I forgot about everything, so unusual and interesting were the plants that I saw there.

To be continued...

Thank you for your attention, until new meetings!
