Jumped into a three-dimensional.
- Faeton2, where are we and in what time? And is it possible to go back?
- Commander, it is impossible to return, but it takes some time to determine the coordinates. You need to scan the surrounding stars and make calculations.
- Well, you pulled up! Long had to do it!
- I do.
Five minutes passed.
- What makes you happy?
- In my database there is no information about this arrangement of stars.
- I'll take you to parts now! Phaeton!

- Yes, Commander.
- Take care of your calculations. And to make it easier to count, take my time as the starting point.
“Take that past time, where did you come from?”
- Do not even be a bore. Yes, yes, and yes again. You pumped info from your memory to Phaeton2. And he does not know a damn thing. Okay. In addition to your information, use also the information that is in my cocoon. There is the most accurate data of the cosmonavigation of the time. And for calculations, use the memory of Phaeton2 to make it faster.
- Yes, I do.
It took another weary minutes of five.
- Phaeton, fuck your leg! Why are you silent?!

- Commander, the accuracy of plus or minus several thousand earth years will suit you?
- Or rather nothing?
- More precisely in any way. At your time, to these coordinates, where we are, cosmonavigation did not reach.
“And where the hell are we?”
- On the opposite side of the galaxy. The solar system is on the other side. Do you specify a distance?
- Fuck it to me? How long does it take for us to be on the right side, not on the opposite side of the galaxy? More specifically, in the solar system. And if more precisely, then in orbit of the Earth.

- Accurate calculations are impossible. We will get into the Solar system, and then we can reach the Earth on shunting engines.
- This is just not enough for me! Well, how much should we cut to the solar system?
“One hour and twenty-three minutes in galactic time.”
“So why the hell have you still not jumped into sigma space?” And I'm chattering my nerves! Immediate course to the solar system!
“I’m doing it,” the overload from the work of the main engines running at full power pressed us into the seats.

- Phaetons! Since we are flying to the Earth, then use the Earth units of measurement. By the way, immediately after the jump, be ready to use for maneuver not only shunting, but also the main engines at the maximum allowable power, but one so as not to end up in sigma space again. It is not known where we jump out for sure. You may have to wriggle out of strong gravity.
- Took note. The power of our ships is enough to start from the sun.
“You are both stupid glands.” The relics are possible and enough, and the time to not burn may not be enough. And I do not want to boil alive.

- Lesh, why so gloomy? What makes you think that we will go straight to the sun?
“I don’t know if we will jump out on the Sun or in another place, but we’ll definitely have to fight with gravity.” Therefore, before the jump, we must be in the canoes with the included anti-overload system. The ship’s overload system may not be enough. And we will be crushed by huge overloads.
“I don’t think it will be necessary, but with pleasure I submit to you, my beloved prince,” Leah gently rubbed my cheek, “phew, prickly, like a hedgehog.”
“Commander, after a minute we jump into three-dimensional space,” we teleported to the shuttles and turned on the anti-overload system.
- Lilechka, be ready for any surprises.

Jump into three-dimensional space.
- Commander, we fall on the planet. We are in the upper atmosphere. Power shunting engines is not enough to overcome the attraction of the planet. Height 84km ... 83km ... 80km ... 75km ... - the height decreased with terrifying speed. The planet did not want to let its random prisoners go. Every second more than a million tons of metal were increasingly attracted by the planet.
- Turn on the main engines to the maximum possible power, go up to a distance of at least 400 km from the atmosphere, - there was such a huge overload that even the eyes could not be opened, the eyelids became so heavy. And her cheeks seemed to drop to the chest. The planet tried to hold us, pull us to itself. But the powerful engines of the twin ship gradually pulled him out from the deadly embrace and the strong attraction of the planet. Finally, the main engines fell silent, the overload almost disappeared.
- Phaeton, where are we?
- Near Jupiter.
- We barely escaped from the clutches of Jupiter, and you still poured me about the Sun.

- Lesha, look what a glow our twin ship left behind.
- We can assume that we were lucky. It would be a thousand times stronger if we jumped not in the upper layers, but in the lower layers. And it is unknown if we could get out then if the atmosphere flashed around us. The atmosphere of Jupiter contains a lot of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide, in combination with a large amount of ionized hydrogen, and simply bare protons, a combustible mixture is obtained. And if there is more oxygen to be added, it is generally explosive. We could burn there, and not escaping from the attraction of Jupiter. Okay, Phaeton, we fly to Earth.
- I do.
- But you do not take it easy, but tell me the time at which we were. It is desirable more precisely.
- Commander, we are in a very distant past. Three thousand six hundred years of your time, plus or minus fifty years.

- Damn, it turns out that we were in the 16th century BC. I wonder if people are in this time?
- Phaeton, can you show us the location of continents and oceans on Earth? - asked Leah.
“Of course,” a hologram of the Earth appeared in front of us, slowly rotating around its axis. But something was wrong.
- Lesha, the coastlines of the continents do not match. Phaeton impose an image of the Earth in my time - ordered Lia, we saw huge differences - and now superimpose an image of the Earth in the times of the commander.

The differences were much smaller. Finally, I realized that I was embarrassed (from what has been well deposited in my memory since my school years). Mediterranean Sea. Right in the middle of the sea there was a large island occupying almost half of the sea. The sea looked like a stretched bagel, but instead of a hole there was a huge island. Or it was like a forked channel of a huge river. In addition, the slope of the Earth axis. It did not coincide with the situation that was in the twentieth century. Then went information about the composition of the air and the difference in geographical areas, we even did not pay attention to this info. The plant world has interested us both. First, the trees: there were a lot of centuries-old trees (500-600 years or more and a hundred meters high). In general, pristine nature. When we got into orbit near the Earth, information about the fauna began to arrive. Despite the abundance of the animal world, we are not interested in this.

- People! Look for people!
The sensors of the dual ship methodically scanned the Earth's surface, starting from the north pole, looking for all life. The North Pole was located almost in the middle of Greenland, and not where it was in the twentieth century. The northern part of Europe was white with snow-covered territories where there was little that ran through.But housing in the form of a yurt came across, although the sensors did not detect people (possibly because of the cold). In one place recorded a blizzard. Judging by the vast territory on which the blizzard cleared, she raged there for more than one day. Gradually, rare shrubs began to appear. And then the forest went altogether. Forests with huge centuries-old trees. When “glades” with sizes up to a hectare or more appeared in these forests, various animals usually grazed on them.

Toward the south began the steppe. When approaching it turned out that they were overgrown with herbs about the height of a person.
- Phaeton! Wait! Bring the image back! - I thought I started the bricks. Mammoths grazed on this tall and lush grass. Pancake! The school studied that they died out fig ...
