But in three kilometres from the central axis at a step of a giant ladder the hundred-metre oval of light has laid down. The sparkling oasis among neighbouring darkness, it slowly moved to the concave plain spread still in five kilometres more low, and in the oval centre, rejecting before itself long shades, three small figures moved. As they also expected, and is more true, as well as hoped, descent has passed without any unexpectedness. On the first platform they have made a short stop, and Norton has made small walk on a narrow ring ledge, then on a handrail has slid off on the following level, Here they have dumped oxygen devices and have indulged in unusual luxury - to breathe without any mechanical systems "Now, having got rid of greatest of the dangers trapping the person in space, and having ceased to be anxious about tightness of a suit and oxygen stocks, they could continue researches in the most favorable conditions. By then, when they have reached the fifth level and ahead there was a last flight, the attraction has increased almost to half terrestrial. Speed of rotation of the Frame at last has had an effect to the full; they forcedly were subject to relentless force which corrects planets, and sometimes levies ruthlessly high payment for the slightest error. It was still easy to be lowered, but in consciousness the thought on returning - thousand steps upwards, and trace - new thousand already crept in... Dizzily abrupt ladder was replaced for a long time flat and now was gradually levelled to a horizontal. The bias made now only 1:5, and after all in the beginning was 5:1. It became quite possible - both physically, and psychologically - to go the most normal step; if not lowered gravitation, they could imagine that are lowered on any grandiose ladder on the Earth. Once it was possible to Norton to examine ruins it a temple - here to it the same feelings have returned that he has tested then, but increased a hundred times. Awe, secret and grief, grief on the past which has disappeared irrevocably. However here scales were so more, - both in time and in space, - that the brain refused to appreciate them, and then and has simply ceased to perceive. ![]()
