Iron Comes From Stars
Ludvík Souček
The iron is a flower of the earth.It is born from the rocks to hich gives sanguinary
colour.However first it came from the sky.Almost all ancient languages call
the iron the same name as the stars.Sideros,baanepe.Iron boulders incandescently
stroke against a small planet,circling round quite ordinary star,boring and
thirty thousand light years off posher Galaxy centres,forgotten in one of the
spiral branches.The boulders have been found occasionally,sniffed and the thousands
of years thrown away.Then silly Tuscan kings ordered to beat shields out of
the boulders,providing them ith the power over the world of few rocks and small
fields,hich even the most obsolete rocket can fly over.
So the iron came from the stars.It got in
a form of a few small chisels amongst the treasures of Tutanchamonis crypt.It
has been hidden under gold plating of daggers of Hittite ambassadors,ho were
not allowed to reveal its secret.
However they didn’t know the greatest secret:the
iron arouse from huge disasters of dying stars,sagging by their own weight and
pride, shattering their mussels and bones and smashing electron nuclear shells
like egg shells so that they could explode and present the surrounding space
with the gift of death.
It is because the iron as well as the fire
is devoted to vicious gods.
This report deals among others with object
with a strange and bizarre name of parallelpipoid,hich rarely used crystallographic
term can be without orries translated by simple,understandable but not very
exciting word a cube.Not a precise one,but a cube.We will find the time and
place yet for propriet specification necessary just for peace of mind of the
greatest nit-pickers.
Before that it will be useful to look at
the beginnings of the whole story of hich long term unity of place e can consider
constant,ith the unity of time constant only in space terms,absorbing millions
of years as basic time units.
The key to the described events is lying
in,if properly counted two hundred million years ago era,hich long time afterward
created civilisation gave the name the perm.Nobody would expect even in dream
that anything unusual could occur on this ordinary and common planet of the
star of spectral class G2 and luminous intensity V (typical for common and ordinary
planets),anything riding up from unnumbered times proved pattern of cosmic and
shortly also biological evolution.Nothing has been indicated during the first
billions of years of the planet evolution,passing through by dateless tracks
similar to each other,by the schemes ell known to the Pilgrims,travelling when
it’s needed from one astral system to another.Considering the situation in the
part of Galaxy where the mentioned star G 2/V was located,there was no need
for intervention. Intelligent and space technology mastering life form on the
only perspective planet ill appear —by the Pilgrims assumption —earliest in
250 million years —late enough for reachable civilisations developing on planets
of fairly close stars to overcome the stage of space activities and move towards
other pastimes,excluding interrelationship and possible trouble and complications.
The golden rule of space Pilgrims —the rumours
whispered among the younger generations has it that the rule was ransomed by
some old standing and rather embarrassing experience —was regulation of evolution
on habitable planets,so that they could reach quite a short period of enthusiastic
space expansion with spacecraft powered at first with rocket power,then with
gravity power and later with residual radiation, gradually,in safe intervals.Space
activities of all civilisations (with the exeption of the Pilgrims of course)so
far always ended after several tens of generations by endangering different
cycles of planets and so serious disturbances of environment that the whole
biosphere would have been condemned to death if there hadn’t been for undertaking
necessary action. So far,as the wide experience and memory of the Pilgrims go,the
actions have been executed at all times,even though not always smoothly. Radiation
of such planets,hich as on many wave lengths greater then the radiation of the
parent stars,as suddenly dying out like if some cosmic giant turned off the
switch.Then it as enough to exercise once in a while periodic inspections,which
were quick,easy and amusing.The path to space activities was for every civilisation
difficult,tough and usually very long even in terms of various measures.The
return to space activity,once abandoned,was almost impossible,so the risk was
minimal.
The third planet of star G 2/V was,as it
appeared during one of random inspections,surprising exeption from the rule.
There where the last,not too long ago (just
a few millions rotations of the planet around the parent star)proceeded routine
survey showed only bare rocky cliffs and plateaus upheaval by action of volcanic
forces from endless hot ocean,covered by coat of dust and firm boulders of lava,the
scene was now completely changed.The change as as surprising as fast and perfect.It
reminded change of the theatre properties where on the turn-table a desolate
landscape with dragon’s cavern,to hich the planet..........
