- How it will be pleasant to you t and to and I d about r about g and? - uslyhal Bulls a voice of Ermakova.
- Desert... - he has easy answered.
- Certainly. Native to you a landscape. However, here there is no saxaul, but it is the present Gobi, the present Black Sand.
- Black they, black... - Bulls has faltered. - well, and road quite good. Wide, equal... Now we will depart.
- Hurrah! - playing the fool, Dauge has shouted. - Also we will feast on open space! Joking and exchanging smiles,
mezhplanetniki have returned to the conveyor.
The mood has considerably risen. Only Bogdan Spitsyn was late at the hatch, has looked back around once again and has
told with vzdohom: - Here just as at Stendalja.
- That is? - Has not understood Bulls.
- All red and black. You understand, I never liked Stendal...
Bulls has again taken a place at the panel. "Boy" has trembled and, speeding up, has rushed forward, smoothly rocking. The
wind has picked up and has disseminated the strip of the dust which has broken from caterpillars. The black desert towards
rushed, the wind drove on it foggy strips, a hot dust drifting snow. On a red background of horizon the flexible columns
extended to heavy clouds walked. Here vspuh the small hillock, was pulled upwards by a turning funnel, has joined clouds -
and one more black column has sent on errands a wind on desert.
- Tornadoes, - has spoken Bulls. - how many them here...
- It is better not to get to such funnel, - has noticed Dauge.
- Yes, it is better not to get, - has murmured Bulls, remembering, as once a tornado - much less that walk across Venus, but
too enormous - on his eyes has transformed camp of geologists in the centre of Gobi into a sandy barkhan.
The wind amplified. Hardly appreciable at bottom of a basalt wall, now it knocked on a front board of the conveyor, stridently
whistled in a scanner. The way went uphill, it is all it became more appreciable. The conveyor rose on an extensive plateau.
In places the sand layer has been broken by a wind and then caterpillars fractionally knocked on the white cracked plates of
the bared stone.
