AREA OF TECHNICAL USE The present invention relates to a thread that is composed entirely of aromatic polyamide, and to a method of manufacturing of such threads, and more particularly to a method of making a new thread, completely composed of aromatic polyamide, has physical properties, including high strength and high value of the module. ANALOGUES AND PROTOTYPE As disclosed previously known documents, for example, patents of USA № 3869429 and № 3869430, yarn, consisting entirely of aromatic polyamide, and were using a number of processes including: process receipt of the polymer consists entirely of aromatic polyamide, by the polymerization of aromatic diamine and aromatic chloride in solvent containing N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone; the cooking process of the spinning solution obtained by dissolving polyamide in solvent - concentrated sulfuric acid; shaping process threads by extruding the spinning solution through a die and pass spinning material through a layer of a fluid medium, does not cause coagulation, in a tub of coagulant; and the process of cleaning obtained as a result of threads by washing, drying and heat treatment. In Fig. 1 schematically illustrates the method of obtaining a thread that is composed entirely of aromatic polyamide, using the normal «dry-wet moulding. By the usual method of manufacturing of threads, completely composed of aromatic polyamide, there is a problem, which consists in the fact that the polymer monomers, served in a reactor 20, not mixed with each other quite well and, thus, not polymerize evenly or homogeneity in the whole space of the reactor. For this reason, the usual method has a drawback, namely increased deviation in the degree of polymerization upon receipt of the polymer consists entirely of aromatic polyamide, thus causing a problem, which consists in the fact that the physical properties, especially the strength and value of the modulus threads, completely composed of aromatic polyamide, are reduced. In result of research performed by the author of the invention for the solution of the problems mentioned above, established the present invention, in which it was proposed to obtain a new thread that is composed entirely of aromatic polyamide, has the increased durability and higher value of the modulus. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION TECHNICAL TASK Thus, the objective of this invention is to increase strength and modulus, the thread that is composed entirely of aromatic polyamide, as the finished product, by ensuring the implementation of uniform and homogeneous monomer polymerization in the whole space polymerization reactor 20, therefore, the minimization of the deviations in the degree of polymerization (below this phenomenon abbreviated called «deviation») received as a result of the polymer. Another aim of the present invention is to create a thread that is composed entirely of aromatic polyamide, with a narrow range of distribution of molecular mass, called «polydispersity index» (designated as «SDI»), and reduced parameter (marked as «g II »), which determine the defects of the crystal, obtained as a result of minimal deviation of the polymer, and thanks to that thread has improved values of strength and modulus. TECHNICAL MEANS FOR SOLVING THE PROBLEM To achieve the above objectives developed the method of the present invention the strands that is composed entirely of aromatic polyamide, including: the dissolution of the polymer consists entirely of aromatic polyamide, solvent - concentrated sulfuric acid, with the receipt of the spinning solution, in which the polymer consists entirely of aromatic polyamide, produced by polymerization of aromatic diamine and aromatic chloride in solvent containing N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone; and the transmission of spinning solution through a Spinneret with the receipt of the spinning material, characterized in that in the process of preparation the polymer consists entirely of aromatic polyamide, aromatic diamine, aromatic chloride and solvent, is fed into the reactor 20, stirred by mixing device, installed in the reactor 20, consisting of: (i) the rotor 3, driven by a motor 2 and containing many fingers 3a, and (ii) the stator 4, containing many fingers 4a, in which the speed of rotation the rotor 3 govern in such a way that it was in the range from 10 times to 100 times the speed of feeding the reactor aromatic chloride and aromatic diamine in solvent, and at the same time regulate the frequency of contacts between the fingers 3a and fingers 4a in the range from 100 Hz to 1000 Hz. Thread, fully consisting of aromatic polyamide, according to the present invention wherein the SPD is in the range from 1.5 to 2.3, and parameter g II to heat treatment is ranging from 1.7% to 1.9%. The present invention is described in more detail below, with links to enclosed drawings. According to the present invention, the first obtained the polymer consists entirely of aromatic polyamide, polymerization aromatic diamine and aromatic chloride in solvent containing N-methyl-2-. Aromatic diamine preferably contains n-phenylenediamine and aromatic chloride preferably contains . Besides solvent preferably contains N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone containing dissolved chloride calcium. Method for producing polymer that is composed entirely of aromatic polyamide, according to the present invention, as described above, aromatic diamine, aromatic chloride and solvent, submitted in the polymerization reactor, mix, using a mixing device, as shown in Fig. 2 installed in the reactor 20 and consisting of: (i) the rotor 3, driven by a motor 2 and containing many fingers 3a; and (ii) the stator 4, containing many fingers 4a, in which the speed of rotation the rotor 3 govern in such a way that it was in the range from 10 times to 100 times the speed of feeding the reactor aromatic chloride and aromatic diamine in solvent, and at the same time regulate the frequency of contacts between the fingers 3a and fingers 4a in the range from 100 Hz to 1000 Hz. In Fig. 2 schematically shows a cross-section polymerization reactor 20, used in the present invention. More specifically, the reactor 20 (see Fig. 2) according to the invention, provided with a mixing device, consisting of rotor 3, driven by a motor 2 and containing many fingers 3a, and stator 4, containing many fingers 4a, According to the present invention, the passage of the polymerization process monomers and solvent, are fed into the reactor, shall be implemented by mixing. The mixing device preferably use by adjusting the speed of rotation the rotor 3 so that she was in the range from 10 times to 100 times the speed of feeding the reactor 20 aromatic chloride and aromatic diamine in solvent, and at the same time regulate the frequency of contacts between the fingers 3a and fingers 4a in the range from 100 Hz to 1000 Hz. If the rotor speed 3 below 10 times the speed of submission of monomer polymer or frequency of contacts between the fingers 3a and fingers 4a (reduced frequency of contacts») below 100 Hz, all monomers and solvent not mix well enough to achieve a homogeneous polymerization in the entire space of the reactor. On the other hand, if the rotor speed 3 exceeds 100 times the feed rate, polymer monomer or frequency of contacts above 1000 Hz, may be generated ultra-high speed shift inside the reactor, leading to uneven polymerization. Polymer, fully consisting of aromatic polyamide, has the characteristic viscosity constituting not less than 5.0, which preferred to increase the strength and modulus threads. Conditions of polymerization mentioned above polymer are essentially the same as those previously known, for example, described in U.S. patent № 3869429 or similar document. In a preferred embodiment, the method of receiving the polymer receive polymer in the form of ultra-fine powder due to the introduction of the solution, which can be prepared by dilution of 1 mole of n-phenylenediamine N-methyl-2- containing more than 1 mole of calcium chloride and 1 mol , in the polymerization reactor 20, provided with a mixing device, as shown in Fig. 2; mixing the mixture in the reactor for the formation of a polymer in the form of a gel; and crushing, washing and drying of the polymer in the form of gel with receiving, thus, polymer in the form of ultra-fine powder. can be injected into the reactor 20 half doses in two stages. Then polymer, fully consisting of aromatic polyamide, prepared as described above, is dissolved in a solvent - concentrated sulfuric acid with the formation of the spinning solution. Then, as shown in Fig. 1, spinning solution is subjected to the process of forming, and passing it through the die 40 with the receipt of the spinning material, and then pass the spinning material through a layer of a fluid medium, does not cause coagulation, in a bath with 50 coagulant with the formation of threads. At the end of the thread, fully consisting of aromatic polyamide, according to the present invention, washed, dried and subjected to heat treatment. In Fig. 1 schematically illustrates the method of manufacturing of threads, completely composed of aromatic polyamide, utilizing the dry-wet moulding. Concentrated sulphuric acid, which is used in the cooking of the spinning solution, preferably has a concentration ranging from 97% to 100% and can be replaced acid or acid. If the concentration of the sulfuric acid less than 97%, the solubility of polymer decreases, and the solution cannot be easy to form a liquid-crystal structure. Thus, it is difficult to get the spinning solution constant viscosity and, in turn, manage the process of spinning, thus causing the deterioration of mechanical properties of finished textile product. On the other hand, if the concentration of the sulfuric acid exceeds 100%, the content of the SO 3 becomes excessive in any steaming sulfuric acid containing overly group 3 SO ; therefore, it is undesirable to process and use sulfuric acid as an additive in the spinning solution, as it causes partial decomposition of the polymer. In addition, even if the fiber can be obtained by use of the spinning solution, it has a loose internal structure, essentially matte color, if to speak about appearance, and this decreases the speed of diffusion of a sulfuric acid in solution of coagulant, so that it can lead to the problem, consisting in the reduction of mechanical properties of fibers. In the alternative case, the concentration of polymer in spinning solution is preferably within 10 wt.% up to 25 wt.%. However, the concentration of sulfuric acid, and the concentration of polymer in spinning solution is not particularly limited. A layer of fluid does not cause coagulation, may be, in General, air layer or a layer of inert gas. Depth of the layer of a fluid medium, does not cause coagulation, i.e. the distance from the bottom dies 40 to the surface of the coagulant in the tub 50 with coagulant, preferably in the range from 0.1 cm to 15 cm, to improve spinning capacity or improve the physical properties of the thread. Coagulant contained in the tub 50 with coagulant, you can serve with overflow, and it can contain (but its composition is not limited to the listed substances), for example, water, salt water or aqueous solution of sulfuric acid with a concentration of less than 70%. Then preformed thread is washed, dried and subjected to heat treatment with obtaining a thread that is composed entirely of aromatic polyamide. The speed of the spinning and winding is in the range of 700 m/min up to 1500 m/min The resulting thread, fully consisting of aromatic polyamide, according to the present invention has minimum deviation and, thus, has a narrow range of children's suffrage and reduced the g option II , which determine defects of the crystal, so it has very high strength before and after heat treatment, amounting to at least 26 g/denier, and a very high value of the module, amounting to a heat treatment is not less than 750 g/denier, and after thermal processing - not less than 950 g/denier. More specifically, thread, fully consisting of aromatic polyamide, according to the present invention has an SDI in the range from 1.5 to 2.3, preferably from 1,5 to 2,0 and more preferably, 1.5 to 1.7, and the g option II to heat treatment ranging from 1.7% to 1.9%. Besides parameter g II after heat treatment at 300 C under tension 2% during 2 is in the range of 1.3% to 1.6%. If children's suffrage and parameter g II exceed the limits above, there has been a slight increase in the value of the module. Conversely, if the DTI and parameter g II less than the above limits, while the value of the modulus increases, it is within a region that is difficult is achievable by the present invention. In accordance with this, in comparison with common thread that is composed entirely of aromatic polyamide thread, fully consisting of aromatic polyamide, according to the present invention has a minimal variance in the degree of polymerization of polymer and, therefore, has a narrow meaning of children's suffrage and low parameter g II , which defines the defects in the crystal. As a result of polymer, fully consisting of aromatic polyamide, has a very high strength and significantly improved the value of the modulus. ADVANTAGES As described above, this use of the present invention allows to provide the minimum deviation degree of polymerization by uniform promotion of polymerization of the monomer polymer in the whole space polymerization reactor 20. In accordance with this thread, fully consisting of aromatic polyamide, made according to the present invention has a minimum deviation of the degree of polymerization and, thus, has a narrow meaning DTI and low the g option II , thus, reduced defects of the crystal, so it has a very high strength and significantly improved the value of the modulus.
