share ThoraтАЩs opinion that there is no enemy craft out here in this part of the EarthтАЩs gravisphere, I do not
agree that your question to the brain must of necessity have been wrong. The brain stated that the
invasion has already started; it did not inform you, though, at what time the expected landing of the
invaders would take place. It is quite possible that the enemy forces are still at a distance of many
light-years from here. They might reach Earth only within the next few days. I have no objections to this
patrol flight and I consider it a very good precautionary measure on your part. You should repeat it in
regular intervals, if I might make this suggestion, Rhodan."



"You certainly may, Khrest! Many thanks."



"Shall I proceed with the landing?" inquired Bell.



"Circle once around Earth over both poles. And in the meantime you can tell me what you have been
able to accomplish in your talks with Peking."



"Well the Asiatic Federation believes that that desolate stretch of desert around the Goshun salt lake,
exactly 102 degrees eastern longitude and 38 degrees northern latitude, is the most valuable piece of real
estate anyone has ever imagined in his wildest dreams!"



"Have they quoted you a price already?"



"Why do you think I am so upset about these gentlemen? They are asking seven billion dollars! They
do agree, though, on our request for a diameter of sixty miles across our territory."



"Did you tell them that we donтАЩt have that kind of money? One billion would have been more than
enough!"These bloodsuckers are sitting on their high horse, and they wonтАЩt give in a penny. It would be
sheer waste of time to try to get them to come down in their price. They outright refuse to do so. We will
just have to see how we can get that sum, Perry.тАШ"Seven billion тАж" said Rhodan. "We need half of that
sum alone for our assembly plants inside the energy dome. But we donтАЩt have that much money even for
our important industrial needs."Bell chuckled. "The mightiest government on Earth is also the smallest and
the poorest. Quite a paradox, isnтАЩt it?"
 "You are digressing, Reg. Kakuta has found a few productive suppliers of industrial goods for us. But
they canтАЩt supply us with the money we need. We have only several ridiculously small bank accounts in
some countries around the globe. What we need is a financial wizard."
