Chapter 20, Scientific Research

The setting sun dipped below the horizon, and the colorful clouds rose, casting Vienna in even more splendid hues.

The busy people had no time to appreciate this beautiful scene. Orabefer was an exception, as the laboratory had recently assigned him an easy task, which was akin to a vacation.

Bathed in the twilight, Orabefer did not forget the work in his hands. He picked up what seemed to be an earpiece and somewhat resembled a mouthpiece and shouted loudly into it.

Indeed, this was his day's work. Since it was a vacation, there wasn't much else to do. Three telephone tests each day comprised his daily work.

At first, the tests were conducted just outside the laboratory, but the distance incrementally increased. Now, Orabefer was over twenty kilometers away from the laboratory—if he went any farther, he would be leaving Vienna.
