" Perry Rhodan 0063 - (55) The Micro-Techs" - читать интересную книгу автора (Perry Rhodan)

Jost Kulman was a member of RhodanтАЩs special team known as Cosmic Agents. Most of these agents
were mutants with special talents who lived in the most important centres of the Arkonide worlds and
communicated with their Central Agency on Terra via hyperradio. This enabled Rhodan to keep in touch
with all critical developments in the Galaxy.

Kulman was a micropath. He possessed the ability to control the focal length of his eye lenses which
made it possible for him to see objects that were visible only under a microscope to normal people. It
was due to this special feature of his that he had been sent to Swoofon because the Swoons who
inhabited Swoofon were the most outstanding micro-technicians of the known universe.

Kulman had made himself comfortable in a chair but he glanced a little sheepishly at Rhodan. "I know
youтАЩve every right to blame me since I was responsible for bringing Muzzel aboard theDrusus . That
robot dog nearly succeeded in betraying our position to the Regent," he said, conscience-stricken.

"But only nearly," Rhodan smiled. He considered the matter already closed. "ItтАЩs not your fault. It
couldтАЩve happened to anyone. The whole Mutant Corps was fooled by that imitation dachshund. Even
Pucky!"

The mouse-beaver on the couch jerked a little. He cast a sideways look at Bell, who sat next to him,
and smiled embarrassed.

Jost Kulman didnтАЩt seem to have noticed the by-play and began his eagerly awaited report. "I sent you
the hyperradio call when my situation made it advisable and you came to pick me up as arranged. IтАЩm
sorry a more elaborated report to you has been delayed because MuzzelтАж" He paused for a moment
but then went on quickly: "The Swoons were given instructions to build a compensator-detector for
spaceships whose construction has already been designed."

Rhodan leaned forward and looked intently at his agent. The smile had vanished from his lips as if wiped
off. "A what, please?"

Kulman grinned faintly. "IтАЩve called the device a compensator-detector because this describes its
function. The request was made by the Springers and theyтАЩve handed the construction plans to the
Swoons. The device will make it impossible in the future to keep any hypertransition secret. You can see
that my observation is vitalтАж"

"And how!" Rhodan agreed, not looking overly pleased. "Did you obtain any particular details?"

Kulman decided to retrace his story from the beginning. "As you know, sir, the compensator was
originally developed by the Springers. It prevented the detection of spaceships going into transitions and
materializing again, thereby making the structure sensors virtually useless. As soon as the
compensator-detector goes into mass production, all secrecy will be lifted and every ship can be
registered whether it uses a compensator for the transition or not. This also means that the position of
Terra can no longer be concealed from our enemies."

"WeтАЩd be in a terrible jam," Bell muttered and looked at the lean figure of Khrest, who sat quietly in a
chair. "Soon theyтАЩll be snooping in our backyards."
