“General, as far as I understand, you are the queen of Atlantis.”
“Drago, we have neither queens nor kings.” There are also no kings, counts, sheikhs and other titles. I am nobody in the hierarchy of Atlantis. And in general, officially no one rules Atlantis.
“You have no troops?”
- We have troops. There are land, there are airmobile fleet, there is a navy. All troops commanded by General Rustam. In fact, it turns out that he officially leads Atlantis. But all controversial issues have to settle me. The problem with attacks on external objects is solved by this Barbarian, - Leah turned to me - this is our anarchy.

- Something anarchy, I did not notice. On the contrary, unquestioning obedience not only to you, the general, but also to Barbara. Such submission is not so easy given. It is possible a year, from the strength of two. But not more than two hundred years. Okay, leave this riddle for now. I will solve it anyway, - Leah just smiled.
- Where do we start the tour?
- General, if you do not mind and in order not to attract too much attention from residents, I suggest activating invisible beings and slevitating over the center of the city, and then it will be seen.

Soon we hung over the central building of the city at a height of about one hundred, one hundred and twenty meters.
- This is our building that provides part of the city and underground communications with energy and lighting. And also it performs the functions of a transmitting device for all types of mass media. In total, this is the central communications hub of Atlantis.
- Electricity goes on underground cables?
- Not. Not only the lighting is wireless, but up to 90% of the production energy consumption is also wireless.

- But I do not see enterprises. Upstairs only sleeping quarters. Where are the factories? In the end, where is the whole industry? Especially metallurgy. Is it really underground?
- You are almost right. Most businesses are underground. The city extends inland to five hundred meters. As for the metallurgical industry, practically the smelting of metal is carried out near the ore mines. There are no such mines on the island. Therefore, all metal is smelted outside of Atlantis. All metallurgy is fully robotic. The required quality and the necessary products from metals and alloys are obtained in underground factories or in space on Phaetons.
- And the transport? Something I do not see in the city of transport.

- There is transport, but all public transport appears when it is necessary to deliver passengers to or from work. And also in other cases. For example, when attacking from space, the entire population is immediately evacuated underground. Atlantis in a matter of seconds turns into an anti-space base capable of withstanding the simultaneous attack of three thousand heavy combat ships of the class Invirov or Stetenov. The whole island is covered with a power shield. To break through it, you need at least a thousand volleys of Invira ships. But, if it can still be destroyed, then after 0, 05 seconds, it is automatically restored. The number of recoveries is unlimited, since there will be no shortage of energy.At the same time, the firepower of our guns allows us to simultaneously destroy up to two hundred large space targets and up to five thousand trifles (for example, rescue capsules or shuttles). A single shot of a heavy weapon is enough to destroy any spacecraft, and with a volley you can even turn into a pile of scrap metal a ship like yours, the esteemed elder Drago (if, of course, you manage to catch him in sight). Most of the traffic is underground. On the surface, people can also move with the help of moving lanes. The slowest is moving at a speed of five km / h. The fastest 70 km / h.

- How can I jump on the fast track?
- Do not jump. Tracks are placed nearby. The speed difference between the neighboring is 5-10 km / h. You just need to go to a faster one. And to get off, go from fast to slow.
- But this is a huge expenditure of energy.
- Not. If no sensors were found near the track, then all the tracks are without movement. When detected, the movement begins the slowest. When someone deigns to climb the track, the track with a higher speed starts immediately. Came on it, launching the next speed. And so up to 70km / h.
- What kind of transport do you use?

- The most diverse. If classified by type of energy, the lion’s share is taken by transport with magnetic motors. Maritime transport and naval warships use hydrogen for their engines, splitting water. Such transport does not consume atmospheric oxygen, but on the contrary releases residual oxygen into the environment. Airmobile fleet basically works on the same principle as the Shuttles of Men, and the engines draw energy from solar panels. Therefore, all aircraft can be in the air for an unlimited time without any refueling with energy (fuel).
- Hmm. In a businesslike manner. And production waste?

- Our production is waste-free. Waste is all recycled and used. Considering that they are underground, there is no need to build various expensive storage facilities for waste. Sealed underground tank - there is storage. There was a need to store other material, robots cleaned and can be stored. If waste remains, then we apply it in other industries. All physically hard work is done by robots. All management of industry, agriculture and other industries in Atlantis is centralized and shifted to computers, robots and automation. It turns out that all branches of the national economy in Atlantis are driven by machines, a few people only control that there is no malfunction. Drago, let's come down and look at the city close by.

Just touched the ground near the central city building and deactivated the invisible bells, as Thor began to look around.
- Something is wrong?
- Where are the residents? I do not see anyone. The city is deserted, as after a nuclear strike, but only without destruction. Although a small number of people engaged in work, there are in separate buildings.
- Adults at work, children in kindergartens or school. Residential homes, kindergartens and schools begin in a few blocks.

- It is right. But I am confused by another. There can be no such thing that people other than work and sleep, nothing more interested. What do those who are not at work? One more thing. From the central building spreads a strong hypnotic effect. This impact is duplicated by the same buildings, but smaller ones. The same impact is transmitted through communications. In my opinion, this is precisely the solution to unquestioning obedience. All intelligent creatures in their free time require food and spectacles. If there is food in abundance, spectacles too, then this hypnotic effect suggests to intelligent beings that they work because they really want to work. Children learn, because they want to learn. All of them believe that they are doing this of their own free will, so there is no disturbance, no escape from work.In addition, they idolize and unconditionally obey the one who launched this hypnotic effect. That is you, General Leah. Wisely, wisely control your Atlantis. I would not be surprised if you do not have internal troops and law enforcement officers. It is possible that you and no prisons.

“Drago, you are absolutely right.” We have no internal troops or police. There are no prisons either. For there is no one to plant there. There are no criminals. We also have very few hospitals. They are only necessary for childbirth or the treatment of various injuries, because no one is sick. Although this was mainly due to the development of medicine. In the first years we raised the development of medicine to the level of Invirov. And then they just developed and improved independently many branches of medicine. We managed to defeat almost all known diseases in the world and slow down the aging of the body. Some of the residents we met on arrival here are still alive. And this is without rebirth.
