Dara had a lot of options for the development of the farm in his head, he could use both the "point farm" method and use the options for hydroponics, drip irrigation, but in local conditions this method did not work well. He could apply the black film method, it was usually used for berries.
This method has already been successfully tested in the fields, the yield increase was actually 25 percent, but those who introduced this method spoke of the mythical 45 percent. This method had its pluses and minuses. The advantages were that less pests fell into the ground, the earth warmed up more, less water evaporated, minuses for large fields, it was difficult to remove the film, it had to be changed every 2 years. Sometimes to save money, use low-quality film material.
Although, with a copter, it was possible to reject all the usual methods of housekeeping.
Before you start planting, you need a couple of days in order to master the management of the copter. As in terms of agricultural work, and photographing his farm.
The software made it possible to process the obtained images with thematic programs for compiling soil maps of the area. Previously, it took much more time, at least 15 years, then aerial photography appeared, after space, it became easier to create such maps, but it still took time, both desk research and field research.
Checking the contour data from images on the ground, the so-called method "Supervised". For large areas, it took a lot of time, however, the time for developing and creating maps was reduced to 3-5 years. With the development of technology, programming languages and software, the time to create maps has also decreased.
For example, for a small area of 40 ares it would take a week. Provided knowledge of how to work with thematic software for digital processing of spatial data. Yes, and modern pictures with copters for farmers would be cheaper than contacting special companies. Another 20 years ago, a single space image with a spatial resolution of 23.6 meters cost $ 600 in size 5000 square meters. km Plus software at $ 36,000, plus GIS software at $ 25,000, plus the work of the staff, it was estimated at $ 1,500 for digitization. As a result, the price of a soil card for a farmer already had a price of 55,000 dollars, which would be nonsense for farmers! They would never pay that much for a card! After 10 years, the price dropped to $ 2,500, but only large farms with annual incomes of at least $ 300,000 could agree to this.
In the country, the average salary in the capital is $ 150– $ 200, but about 400,000 people received a salary of $ 120, while in rural areas the salary barely exceeded $ 70–80. At the same time, the prices for utilities per year grew two or three times, about 40 percent of their salary was spent on them.
Having high customs duties on imported goods, prices for clothes, shoes, electronics were higher by 80 percent than in neighboring countries. Local production was not so much quality products and still the prices were quite solid. At the same time, food purchase prices were low, while retail prices were high. There were a lot of second-hand dealers, until the goods reached the buyer, he passed through three to four second-hand dealers. If, relatively speaking, the price for 1 kg of tomatoes was 9 cents that farmers sold to supermarkets, then the retail price was already 90 cents. Under such conditions, it was not profitable for farmers to have extra expenses, that is, buying a soil map for them was not a permissible luxury.
Some of the farmers used outdated technologies, the other part did little that knew about the terrain, the soil, that is, the level of knowledge of the land, which farmers had previously 30-40 years ago was only conditional 30 percent of farmers. The rest simply followed instructions, sometimes abusing the use of nitre and other fertilizers, which affected their quality.
Only the last 5-6 years ago, about 20 percent of farmers began to use relatively new agrotechnical technologies, but still they lagged behind global years by 15-20 ...
In such conditions, the creation of maps independently, by farmers who could quickly master the software at the user level and receive advice via the Internet, significantly reduced their costs, both temporary and financial.
The modern world, went away from narrow specialization, when to create some kind of technology or a finished end product, professional specialists were required, and now simple schoolchildren could easily do these technologies. The world was getting closer to people. As software fell in price, more features and capabilities appeared. The world became more visual and less abstruse than it was 50-70 years ago. Gradually disappeared caste "eggheads" they were replaced by ordinary users. At the same time, of course, the specialists of the creators, the programmers became more abrupt. But intermediaries slowly disappeared, programmers and users remained. They were the farmer.
If earlier it took at least 2-3 years to master the development and creation of digital maps, now they are at the user level, it took 1 week to get knowledge.
The world accelerated, the speeds varied, the world developed.
A copter could remove a piece of land from a height of 100 to 1000 meters. With the copter it was possible to make maps in a scale of one centimeter on a map of 500 meters, 50 meters and 2 meters.
Maps in 500 meters display data within the economic land management, different types of soil, irrigation, drainage, waterlogging, salinization.
Maps of 50 meters and 2 meters are detailed, they depict territories with soil composition by trace elements.
To create maps, a copter has different types of cameras that shoot in different regions of the spectrum, have their own filter filters. Such images and maps obtained on their basis could be sold, but in reality this is such a confusion that it is better to immediately give up on this. Since the state corporation is the corpus callosum in this market, it also issues permits with licenses for cartographic activity. Moreover, the license is issued only for one year and costs about $ 100,000, plus other permits from even steeper government structures. And it is necessary, so to create more problems for yourself, a simple farmer? The question is purely rhetorical. Copter photographs can show well the occurrence of various types of soil erosion, they can be used to determine soil moisture, humus content, soil temperature, and what microelements are missing.
Like a century ago, there is a war in this area, between those who say that you need to eat eggs from the bottom, while others argue that it is right from the top. So what came first, the egg or the chicken? Traditional cartographers say that without the old mapping methods, aerial photographs and satellite imagery are not as good, not as effective as maps, and the other side claims that maps now serve only as an additional method to refine their images.
For example, in Brazil, the direction of soil mapping of the country has been developed. Now 70 percent of its coverage has been mapped, a bit like the European program for mapping land use, soil and vegetation cover for all EU countries. In Brazil, thanks to this program, the country's soil resources were inventoried. Thanks to these data, it is possible to determine the suitability of land for agricultural use, with a choice of recommendations of which crops to use for certain soils.
Agrochemical mapping by leaving cartograms of nutrient content in the soil. Of course, there are some subtle points there, such as approbation of fertilizers with the condition of local peculiarities, but the modern expert system is able to adapt to these changes, since modern software products launched under the Asian program include the involvement of experts from each country.
With the help of a remote tractor and a device located there, you can create a soil profile, thereby complementing the soil map from the copter. As a result, we have a full-fledged soil map. With which you can already work the farmer. Having an expert system available on the map, the tractor and the tractor can perform joint tasks of tillage, fertilizer application, which are experiencing a shortage of soil, determines which types of crops are better to plant on this land. When and how much to water them.
The irreplaceable assistant for conducting and automation of a farm.
It's good that Bro Fang understood these intricacies, he showed how to use both new things with practical examples. Well, that was next to a mentor. Otherwise, the copter would have lost control, because first you need to learn how to control it, learn the functions of lifting 200 liters, the flight changes somewhat with this. Functions of seed dispersion, fertilization, photographing the terrain, mapping, creating a 3D photorealistic terrain model. As control remote tractor. This is not an easy task. Here you need a mentor, an expert who will show, tell, point to subtle points on the spot.
Bro Fang decided to stay at Dara's farm for a couple of days. It is good that he had previously provided the second address of residence in the migration service of his friend's farm. Otherwise he would have problems.
The first thing they did was launch a tractor miracle, he had to explore the soil of a small Dara farm. Then to compare two soil maps and made soil profile.
Having unpacked the tractor, Dara carefully folded the cardboard and plastic, they could be sold later, although the prices were small, for cardboard 9 cents per 1 kg and for plastic 35 cents, while typing more than 90 kg they could send the car. Dara, grew up in an old urban environment, and therefore he had a trait not inherent in youth, to save money, even in bits, here and there.
In school, he collected plastic and cardboard, then engaged in their sale. He engaged in tutoring his lagging students and took a small fee from them. The first money.
At Dara University, he was engaged in business, went to the mountains, to the famous gorge "Caravanserai", which was located to the west of the capital, in the mountains "Light". For the last 1000 years, a unique variety of watermelons was grown in this gorge, it had a medicinal effect - stimulated the metabolic processes in the liver, improved the composition of bile, prevented stone formation, was used to treat anemia, normalize blood pressure, heal arthritis and gout, they could weaken the effect of poison, improved eyesight .
The watermelon oil obtained from the pits was dietary, it had an amazing aroma, with a rich taste palette. In addition, watermelon seeds improved memory, strengthened blood vessels. Watermelon peels could also be eaten, they help the intestines work better. They were dried in the oven, they made a decoction for the treatment of edema associated with heart disease and kidneys, for this they were taken 5 grams a couple of times a day with water. But who had type 1 diabetes and had kidney stones, he was forbidden to use.
The harvests were good in the mountains from 100 kg to 300 kg, in May they are planted and the crop is already harvested in late July or early August. These watermelons were widely known in the mountains as well as in the steppes and regional cities of the province.
There one watermelon cost about 2 dollars, and already in the capital it was easy to buy for 10 dollars. Swept from the shelves for 1 hour. Then it was served in restaurants and there already two slices cost $ 20 each. Then just, Dara and met with restaurateurs ... Also in the "Light" mountains, well-known throughout the country as well as in China during the Qing Empire, dried fruit - apricots, peaches, yellow grapes were sold. They had amazing effects on rejuvenation, heart treatment and increased immunity. The price for 1 kg in the mountains was about 2 dollars in regional cities for 7 dollars already and in the capital they were bought for 15 dollars.
Then there was a transitional period and it was difficult to eat in the city, especially with delicacies such as watermelons and dry fruits.
He also rented for a quarter of the harvest from 10 acres of his younger uncle Deroesh and grew potatoes and tomatoes there. He sold at the farmers' market, paying $ 1 a day for entry, registering with the tax paid 11 percent of sales.
About 700 dollars a year. And then the salary in the city was no more than $ 45 a month.
This was the first experience of doing business with Dara.
Meanwhile, Bro, unpacked the tractor, checked the work and launched the program, hooked up the radar and the lidar. Launched across the farm to make a preliminary soil map.
Dara, distracted from her thoughts, began to unpack the copter ...
...
The copter rose to a height of 1000 meters and took the first photos of the farm, it was a 3D model and a survey map of the farm lands. The location of the farm was 25 km south-east of the capital and 50 km from the mountains in the extreme south.
3 km from a farm with 40 ares, there were small sections of 2-3 ar ... fenced with a net with a rabbit ... at an altitude of 659 meters
Bro Fang removed the black plastic from the ground ... it was not easy ...
Next lay a farm of 40 ares in the foothills at an altitude of 600 meters above sea level. The dacha plots of university professors were located near the farm, there were about fifteen small farms with neat wooden prefab houses. To them was conducted water supply, there was a power line. The facilities called "Water Closet" were in the courtyard. In recent years, they have been replaced by "bio-toilets".
5 km to the northwest of the dacha village there were large plots of land, 2-5 hectares of farms, they were tested by new microfertilizers, these were environmentally friendly places where new methods of increasing the ecological yield were tested. At an altitude of 580 meters.
In another 5 km north-west there was a holiday village with one and two storey houses. In total there were about 160. With two main streets and about six side. About 47 people lived in the holiday village, there was a polyclinic left over from the best of times. It employed two nurses and one therapist and one dentist. Children professors. There was also a small police station with five officers and two patrol cars. Its fire part with one machine. There used to be more of them, but when the science campus was closed ... the science center, the research institute and a couple of laboratories were transferred from it further south. Only one science laboratory remained ... At an altitude of 489 meters.
It was a former science campus. In the summer, children and grandchildren of professors came from the city and then the population increased to 200 people.
But twenty years ago a letter came from the head organization about the reorganization of the scientific campus and the transfer of equipment, bank accounts, and scientific funds of another organization. Well, this is the usual clan tricks, when someone from the clan wanted to pin down his rival when he lost support ... and everything ... all the old professors were thrown out like dogs on the street who could go to other countries who could not retire. Since it was already problematic to find work after 50 years, then there was a transitional period and not everything was in order with the economy.
Ten years passed and the professors were given back their opportunity to work, and as an apology, they presented private cottages with small country houses, as well as several plots of land. At the same time, however, the professors were not returned to their research center and institute, nor did they reopen that program. The clan who took this direction was not ready to return it, no one wanted much noise, neither the professor nor the clans, so they came to a compromise. It happens in the world of science and clans.
Those who stayed back to research, their achievements and knowledge were evaluated and in demand.
In total there were several types of sites. These are country houses of a scientific town of 12 acres, farms for conducting experiments on 2-5 hectares, country houses of 16 acres and 40 hundred square meters of farms, as well as small test plots of 2-3 acres per distance from farms 3 km from the southeast. .
Previously, these were all test sites for background monitoring and studying the quality and purity of fruits, berries and vegetables. There used to be such a state program for the production of environmentally friendly products for citizens ...
It was a kind of buffer zone remote from urban roads, highways. The first zone is the dacha town, the second zone is 2-5 hectares of farms, the third is cottages and farms of 40 ares, the fourth is small plots of land of 2-3 ares.
Copter made a map of the area ...
From the suburban area and the farm in the third zone, the relief was represented by small hills, a couple of tens of meters flowed a mountain river, carefully laid by the hands of builders in the stone bed. There was also a small hydroelectric station, which provided electricity ...
The site of the grandmother Aba-bie, who was now owned by Lara's beloved grandson, consisted of two sections, one with buildings for 16 ares, and the other for arable land for 40 ares. It was a small farm. Buildings it was a house on 6 ar - two floors, Finnish, folding, warm, wooden, with a fire-prevention covering. The house was held electricity and water.
On the first floor there was an entrance hall, a dining room, a study, a small kitchen, on the second floor there were two bedrooms and a library.
In the hallway there was a coat rack and a bedside table for shoes. Inside the house, people walked in slippers. On the hanger nailed to the wall of the house, hung raincoats, umbrellas, hats, near the hanger on the floor proudly topped rubber boots, attribute farmer, a pair of sneakers, galoshes ...
Immediately from the hallway, a large dining room began, in the center of the room there was a large oak table and around it fifteen chairs. Previously, it was relatively cheap, about 4 professors salaries, now it was no longer a permissible luxury. At that time, 24 years ago, the prices of goods were not very high, while professors had high salaries, utilities were stable, prices were low for them, they grew up once in 5 years. Not like now 3-4 times a year. The professors' salaries were only about 300 dollars, whereas real wooden furniture cost at least 6000 dollars.
On both sides of the table were cabinets with dishes, tablecloths, towels and cutlery. Classic European style. Not the usual Asian household. It is much simpler than a European one, several large bowls for soups, several small bowls for tea, teapots are no longer in fashion, a thermos bottle is enough, an electric kettle, a dozen plates, steel cutlery, a set of wooden chopsticks, a couple of porcelain bowls for salads. Two chef's knives. steamer, one cast-iron pan, one cast-iron pot, two steel pans. A tablecloth for a long time no one uses.
But in this house everything was different. Grandma Aba Bie appreciated tradition. The tablecloth was starched white, with a crystal vase in the center of the table.
On the other side of the table were wide and comfortable sofas and armchairs, next to which were placed two coffee tables, on which coffee cups were usually placed, with saucers and spoons. Small vases with cookies, candy, jam and sliced lemon. As it is usual in our region, there were no alcoholic beverages. Ordinary drinks are green tea, black tea, herbal tea, less often boiled water with lemon, sorbet, compotes, jelly. To which they serve bread, dry fruits, nuts, seeds, jam, kiyami, bekmesy, rychaly, oriental sweets, halvah, fresh berries and fruits.
Next came the office, he was on the right of the dining room and was hiding behind an inconspicuous wooden panel. In the center of the room there was a large table, there were two laptops on it, at the bottom there was uninterrupted power for 3 hours, three routers, two filters ... a data storage system for 2 Petabytes ... only 10 to 15 ...
Around bookcases with textbooks, monographs, problem books, old books, maps of vegetation, land use, soil maps, land, some tables. A laser projector was suspended above. An interactive whiteboard was installed on the wall. Near the table stood a luxurious and large leather chair, and on the right about five large chairs.
A wide staircase with railings led to the second floor. A small corridor led to three rooms. Two small bedrooms with windows overlooking the mountains. The windows were reinforced, and they also had lattices. The house had a security system ...
The room had three single beds, two bedside tables, one small table and four chairs, two wardrobes for clothes and bed linen and also a sink with hot and cold water.
The second bedroom was with a large bed, one table and five chairs, one spacious wardrobe and a chest of drawers.
The largest room on the second floor was the library ...
In addition to the two-storey building on a plot of 10 ar, there were three extensions - a warehouse, a garage, and a house with a water closet. Also near the house were several fruit trees - two black mulberries, three white mulberries, two pear trees.
From the rear, a single unabi tree grew.
Five hundred meters from the house was a farm in 40 are. Enclosed on four sides with mesh. On the farm, there was a tap with technical water for irrigation. As well as a small collapsible warehouse for agricultural equipment.
On this the first flight of the copter was completed. Before the eyes of Dara, a 3D model of his site appeared on his laptop, as well as a map of a scientific campus. The next surprise was the output of data from a remote tractor with a preliminary arrangement of its beds, which garden crops it would be preferable to plant and in which places to have, how many ar they would occupy. Including how much Dara will be able to get the yield in kg from one ap. And also the main medicinal properties of these garden crops were described.
Such a gift, did not have to see earlier, this is a real fantasy, technological magic!
Kopter and tractor gave amazing results in their cooperation.
In the meantime, according to preliminary data on 40 ares of land types, the following vegetables, roots, berries and fruit trees could be accommodated, with an approximate yield of yield from 1 are:
1. Pasternak root vegetable - 3 weave, yield 300 centners + 30% increase in yield from micronutrients (as his relative promised)
2. Fennel root vegetable - 2 weave, yield 400-500 kg.
3. Chicory - 3 weave, harvest 160 kg.
4. Luffa - 2 weave, harvest 434 kg.
5. Artichoke - 3 weaving, yield from 50 to 100 kg.
6. Cabot gourd - 4 weave, yield - 400 kg.
7. Irga berries - 2 weave, harvest - 250 kg.
8. Strawberry berries - 2 weave, harvest 290 kg.
9. Strawberry berry - 2 weave, harvest 200 kg.
10. Raspberry berry - 2 weave, harvest 200-300 kg.
11. Black currant berry - 2 weave, harvest 150 kg.
12. Sea buckthorn berry - 4 weave, from 150 to 300 kg.
13. Fezalis –2 weave, yield 200 kg.
14. Watermelon - 7 acres, yield 300 kg.
Irga - improves digestion, strengthens the intestines, can be landed in autumn and late winter. It will bear fruit in the third year, ripens in July-August - September. Irga is resistant to diseases. Irga does not require a lot of water. It is necessary to do pruning. Shrubs live up to 60-70 years. The yield of 250 kg in 1 macaw. Climatic features - temperate climate.
Strawberries, yield 290 kg with 1 are. Strawberries love heat and sunshine. Planted in the ridge. Planted in May, and collected in late June - early July. Grow strawberries in one place for no more than 4 years. It quenches thirst well, eliminates inflammation, ulcerative processes in the stomach and intestines, is useful for gastritis. From anemia. Lowers good blood pressure. Restorative remedy for mental fatigue, decoction of leaves. For pregnant women there are contraindications and who has problems with the stomach and intestines.
Strawberries - planted in April, harvested in May. Improves the work of the heart, blood vessels, liver, kidneys, get rid of swelling and pain in the joints, intestinal infections, has anti-inflammatory properties, normalizes metabolism, contains the hormone of joy.
Be wary of eating small children and pregnant. Productivity 200 kg with 1 are. Depending on the variety.
Raspberry, it is like a weed, if it does not give abundantly water, then it ceases to give a lot of fruit, it grows and becomes like a prickly fence. Trench planting, 45 cm deep, 50 cm wide. Distance between rows 90 cm, distance between plants 40 cm. The trench is filled with a nutrient mixture. Productivity from 200 to 300 kg from 1 are. Planted in March and collected during June - August.
Currants - planted in March and collected in late June. Productivity of 150 kg with 1 are. Well with beriberi, peptic ulcer, bowel disease, hematopoietic, vasodilator, anti-inflammatory, improves immunity.
Sea buckthorn - planted in March, harvested from August to October, yield depending on the variety and year of the plant, from 130 to 300 kg with 1 ap. There are a lot of trace elements in them. Sea buckthorn strengthens the walls of blood vessels, improves tissue metabolism, slows aging, heals the liver, anemia. You can drive oil, for the treatment of trophic ulcers, chemical burns, thermal burns, stomatitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis, treatment of skin diseases, increases hair growth. It helps in the treatment of bedsores, frostbite, hypertension. Who has problems with the pancreas, inflammation of the gallbladder, sea buckthorn is contraindicated.
Fezalis - have a hemostatic effect, antiseptic, analgesic, used for rheumatism, diseases of the respiratory system, gout, and herpes. A good additive for salads and soups. You can cook juices and jam. Antitussive agent. Treats a sore throat. Planting seedlings in April, at the end of July - August, yield 200 kg per 1 ap.
Medlar her well to plant, but it grows long ...
Pear - 10 children need to wait ... alas ... but lucky to have a few trees near the house ...
Mulberry - normalizes metabolism, antibacterial properties, removes toxins from the human body, antiviral effect, helps relieve stress, heals depression, helps relieve mental stress, but there are also harmful properties - mulberry does not work well with other products,
It was necessary to clarify later, with a more detailed survey of the soil map, using other scanners, reconfiguring them to a deeper study of the soil.
Suddenly, there was a cry of Bro Fang, apparently he began to swear ...
Eh, ass, why, on the soil map, some kind of anomaly ... still recently worked like a clock ... Shit ... let's check that the copter will give us ...
The copter took off ...
Shit!!! Copter is also buggy ... gives the same anomaly ...
We need to look, dig ... maybe it's a scrap of an old pipe ... here is an ass !!!
Two of them continued swearing, headed for the anomaly ... Bro Fang pulled out his iPhone to determine this place ...
... before, we determined the place by azimuths measuring the place and the angle with mountain compasses to myself Dara thought ... then manual GPS navigators appeared, and now they already exist on iPhones ... it's amazing how fast progress is. Some twenty years ago we lived like in the 19th century ... 10 years ago as at the end of the 20th century ... and now it is clear that this is the 21st century ...
They went to the place ... Bro Fang noticed, it's great that you decided to sell part of your goods with us, we value environmentally friendly products!
This has now become possible, but earlier, the farmers sold their fruits and vegetables abroad, and the banks did not allow them to use their foreign currency, changed it at the state exchange rate of the national currency ... and this immediately minus 40 percent of the money.
Since the market rate of the dollar jumped from 60 to 30 percent of the difference from the state and to buy fertilizers, pay for combustible and other expenses, they were all tied not to the state rate but to the market rate. Yes, often banks gave out the amount on plastic bank cards.
When paying them, the traders did not expect at the market rate but the exchange rate, which was still 30% different from the market rate ... It was possible to exchange electronic money for cash, but the banks took a commission for services of 10% ... it was extremely profitable to sell for export products to farmers. Now it has become easier, although not exactly dollars go straight. First, you need to issue an electronic bank card, it receives dollars, which can be changed at an ATM (automated teller machine), but also the amounts are limited. Yes, and it was possible to export foreign currency earlier in the amount of no more than $ 2,000, and now it has been increased to 5,000. Progress on the face!
Now it became profitable to engage in agriculture, as well as work for export, not only large farms but also small ones. Cooperation agreements can now be concluded directly with foreign companies. Especially if you do not sell only the products themselves, but the products processed from them.
With the money you can buy new processing equipment, when you import it, you do not need to pay customs duties and the first three years, you do not need to pay taxes on the goods produced! This is done to stimulate the economy and the development of private enterprise, in addition, allows you to create new jobs. Thus, solving the problem on the ground, with the search for a highly paid job.
The salary on a traditional farm per month barely exceeds $ 67, whereas in the processing industry it already amounts to $ 250, and it is difficult to find such a salary in the city. Unless there is a good dating or access to the clan world. A person from the street on job search sites cannot find anything like that ...
So in this regard, China is very helpful to us, there are ready-made solutions for both large, medium and mini productions. Fortunately, we are near, so the time of delivery of goods is reduced, as well as its payment, in addition, in the city there are many representative offices of Chinese firms from both Beijing and Shanghai and trading houses from provinces and districts. Specialists for installation and commissioning is enough.
There are translators. Plus, there are spare parts in the warehouses, service centers are working, so you don't have to wait two to three months for deliveries from Europe until a bolt or gear is brought. That is, reduced time and money costs. In general, the "New Silk Road" system works.
Here you are bro, with us now! Bro Fang laughed! Yes, I have long wanted to get out to you, of course our home is good, but here in the city and in the suburbs, the air is better. Well, we have almost no production left ... Dara said sadly. On the other hand, we can sell environmental quotas on the "Kyoto Protocol" on the world market.
The air is really clean, there is no pollution, the sky is almost always turquoise! But I was with you ... in Begin, and for a month I saw only once blue skies! All the time there was a gray sky. Against our hotel, literally 100 meters away, a huge brick pipe stuck out of some factory. Of course, you need to manage to locate plants in the city. It was such an era when the plants were built in the very center and even the city limits, only then they realized that the plants need to be brought to the countryside.
I still remember standing in the shade of a tree, and two men come up to me ... one in a white shirt, and the other in a flowery one, like some yakuza ... from Japanese films. I do not know Chinese, except for "Se-Se", "Nihao", "Fen", "Shui", "Tian", "Shan".
I tried to somehow learn Chinese myself, but it is very difficult without a teacher. So, they say something to me ... and I understand the drowning type, they say, that you, here under the tenk, began, barking us to stand. And our hotel was located on the border between the business district and the worker. In the hotel we stayed for 35 euros, and our colleagues from Europe and the Arabs in a hotel in the heart of the business district, where the hotel cost 990 euros ... well, that means waving one hand, and the other, as it were, reason not to rush to foreigners ... and I say to they - do you guys know English? They shake their heads ... I say maybe Farsi know? Shake their heads. Maybe our native language know Big An? No, they do not know ... but what can I do ...
Then I say to the taxi driver that they say take me to the center ... I give the address, the price is 12 RMB ... no, I don't take it ... I had to walk, 1.5 hours one way, 1.5 hours the other.
Well, but Beijing looked magnificent city! Everywhere there are beautiful gardens, skyscrapers and, in contrast to Vienna, people are more friendly, show the way correctly, do not cheat, smile. The residents of Vienna of foreigners do not like, as well as those who speak English and not German ... What can I say "Etshuldigen ze bitte ...".
All in all a really Beijing cool city! The academic campus, large, only here on the sixth floor, we had to go up on foot. Why the elevator was only for ladies and old men. On the other hand, it is good for health to walk on foot.
It was pleasant that remote airships flew over the city, minibuses with laser range finders, various cameras were on the avenues, and all this was connected to the city's electronic security system. We just saw it on the screen at the exhibition, cool, though everything was in Chinese, the 3D model of the city, all the hotels in the center was really magical. People too can sometimes do magic!
When the downpour began ... the water on the central street of the city rose by 25 cm ... it was because the drains had not finished yet, they were preparing for the Olympiad ... I soaked all my shoes ...
But in hypermarkets, employees with red ribbons were very friendly, everyone showed, they knew English well, when I forgot my bag, they brought it to me, through the whole hypermarket! What can I say, cool! A wide variety of products!
Yeah ... Well, you Bro Give. It's just that the city was preparing for the Olympiad ... nothing was ready yet, the workers came from different provinces ... and the taxi drivers did not want to go to that area because only 12 yuan, this is not so much ... are you kidding me Bro? Then the course was 1 to 1! 12 euros for 7 km? We take only $ 2 for such a distance ... and then my salary was only $ 120 ... well, we received Travel grant, otherwise it would not be possible to see your city ...
Hey, what else have you seen?
Well, after the exhibition, we left the hall where there were air conditioners and immediately those who were dressed in jackets became wet, the climate here is humid and painful.
Yes, the hotel was being renovated at this time, guests from Australia and Canada could not fall asleep, but we slept easily, for us the sound of a perforator is lullaby music. Since repairs are being arranged in our home for 3-4 years and work at night ... so that we sleep well!
Bro, Dara, this once again confirms the fact that you arrived at the wrong time ... you had to come after construction ...
...
Here is the place ... just 700 meters from the country house ... and what do we have here?
The place was immediately conspicuous ... a bush of "deer of grass" was growing above it. He was all green with purple flowers. Although the yard was the end of winter, the last days of February ...
... and then suddenly another anomaly!
Hey bro bro! Do you know what kind of flower it is?
Not!
This is "Deer Grass"! It turns out a great tonic tea! And most importantly, it begins to bloom only in June - August? !!
How could he even bloom under a black film ???
What is there something wrong here !!! Do you have a geiger counter ??? Maybe they have been experimenting with something wrong? !! You can expect anything from these scientists!
Bro, don't you joke like that ?!
Hey, why are you ... where did you run, Dara! Do not scare me!
I'm just starting to live and you?!! Where, wait, do not throw!
Dara only added speed ... his eyes became square with fright, his hair stirred on his head. While he was running towards the dacha, he feverishly realized that there seemed to be no such tests ... and generally their region has been without a nuclear zone for fifty years already, but who knows ...
These geeks are scientists, they will become ... maybe they were experimenting there, the time was so strange when people were just drawn to some idiotic research ...
There was heavy breathing behind. Bro ... don't run away, I'm scared too!
...
Two friends ... laughing nervously ... approached a bush of "grass deer" ... Dara was holding a household dosimeter in her hands ...
... the data showed the background level, the indicator mark was on the green part ...
Gone ... their hands were shaking ... Bro Fang said ... it's just an ass! Lucky! How I was born again ... I did not run for so long ...
To which Dara scratched the back of his head, noticed ... you cannot run away from this ... as the Germans called her there — an invisible death ... he remembered lectures on Civil Defense. What we did not read at the Faculty of History ... there was a medical course for 2 years. What for? This is a big question for which there is no answer ...
Shit, shit ... well, lucky ... my hands are still shaking ... you, Dara, must now arrange a feast with the mountain so that I can calm down ... Well, bro, you give? !!!
How did I know? You count, I'm probably all already gray ... How scared I was!
Well, if this is not what we thought? Then what is it? Why do both devices show an anomaly? Why did this bush grow? How could he grow under the film?
Well, you damn doctor Haus, call ... ass, how do I know ... let's see what's down there?
What are we going to dig? Yourself?
Are you completely fooled?
How are we going to dig?
Shovels, of course, frame!
Shovels?
If, something there, lies deep?
I kind of heard there were in ancient times workshops where metal was smelted from nearby mountains, iron and silver were smelted. They even found remains of slag ... But it was 12 km from this place.
Still Aunt Firuzeh told me that a meteorite fell in the area about 500 years ago ... they did not find anything ... probably the fragments were small ...
Well then, come on, let's force the miracle of a tractor to dig, there seems to be a mounted bucket?
Yes! Come on!
I wonder how deep there is, something lies?
If 2 or 3 meters, how many will dig?
Fang, looked at the ground, took it in his hand, rubbed it between his fingers ...
... depending on which bucket we take? It depends on what kind of pit it will be, then you can calculate the volume of the soil ... by eye, if the length of the trench is 2 meters, the width is 1 meter, the depth is about 2 meters, it is about 4 cubic meters and if there are three then 6 cubes. Digging will be three hours - four ... and three meters can be six hours. Looking also on the ground ...
Dara noticed, and if something is small there?
Probably you need to put the grid and sift after the ground ...
Come on, Dara ...
In the meantime, I will be setting up the software and fixing the mounted bucket ...
Ah, the work was added ... rarely, when everything works out right the first time.
Dara in the pantry, found a grid of 0.5 cm, as well as iron profiles. Drill drilled holes on both sides. Took bolts and nuts. I grabbed the net roll and headed for Fang.
There, on the spot, he made a frame for the grid, three by three meters, fastened a grid to it.
Then he returned to the pantry and dragged a tray made of composite materials, which he framed under the net.
Fang answered bluntly, Dara answered briskly, and this was for sifting soil!
After 40 minutes, Fang launched the process ... the tractor was digging the ground slowly, the soil profile was reflected on the laptop monitor ... before the anomaly was another two and a half meters ... the anomaly itself was not very large, judging by the data ...
Began to dig ...
Ass, wait so long, you get tired of looking at the monotonous process of digging ... then I thought, Dara, why did you build such an incomprehensible structure? After all, on the profile map, we can already see the anomaly? Do you think there could be something else?
Just, I have long wanted to try to do it? Maybe we will find something interesting? This region was famous for its mining and smelting.
Previously, newspapers often wrote that there were often found various treasures ... from the times of the bronze and antiquity. True, the treasures were small ... but as the new formats have changed and we left the planned economy to the market ... in general neither the newspapers became ... no information about the new treasures.
I am sure that these treasures are still waiting for their researchers. Would you like to install new cameras and geophysical equipment on the copter, or maybe some new scanners that could detect anomalies? That would be great!
Probably already? But it is expensive. Yes, and you have the same rules that you can use copters only in certain areas, you need to register them with the police, the metrology department, the area for the preservation of cultural heritage monuments, be assigned to the flying club or agricultural airport ... twice a year certification for copters. Yes, and the legal framework you have for this type of copter is constantly changing. Why do you need an extra headache?
Let the scientists do it! Are you a farmer, owner of two stores, micro hydro power plants ... and not enough for you? You need to be able to limit yourself to be successful. The money will go, you will make new connections, there will be an income, then you will think about new directions. And now we have the main thing, it is to make a soil map in order to start planting your garden crops on it ... you need to run the shops, you need to start producing organic food ... now you are not alone, now many people depend on you. Not only your relatives, but mine too!
Above all, we need to understand that it is under the ground?
Maybe a shard of the mythical meteorite that fell 500 years ago? As they write in visual novels, only you grab him, so he will immediately give you super abilities!
Hold your pocket wider! If we find a meteorite ... there will be more problems ... our land will be taken away for scientists ... everyone will dig up ... in their search. This is not the West with their capitalism! What, after all, do you have a market economy now ?!
Yes, we have a market economy, but at the same time, all that is on the surface of the soil is the farmers, but that underground, this belongs to the country. So, you will find this meteorite, you will have to surrender it ... there seems to be some amount of some amount in the amount of 25 percent of something, in general, a couple of hundred dollars ... but the land will be taken away and compensation will probably be no more than 5 percent, they can give land in return, but not the best, it is necessary to build infrastructure from scratch, and this is time and money ...
Oh, let there be nothing better there!
Tired of waiting ... said Dara.
Eh, bro, farming and patience are one and the same. Green you bro, in order to be a farmer!
Okay ... break through!
Since this is not what we thought, let me brew tea from "deer grass"? Yes, come on, Bro! What if there is a dragon head under the ground, and this tea is poisonous?
What are dragons? All of them have long been dismantled for souvenirs! I took a course of paleoecology, we have the last dinosaur during the ancient Holocene otkinul legs ... so in the Tertiary period, there was a sea here. The big sharks of 30–60 meters swam, sometimes they find the village sharks in the foothills not far from here - the black, fossilized teeth of these sharks, they are 25 centimeters long ... After that there was a Quaternary period, at this time rhinos, mammoths, elephants, camels lived by 7- 10 meters in height, cave lions, huge tigers 20 meters in length ... then smaller species took their place, which could adapt better to climate change ...
This is of course interesting ... but not for me ... in short, I understood, more cunning, more skilled, those who respond better to environmental change and survive, and those who are big and have their own principles die? Well, animals are not people ... and people without principles die like people ... they cease to have a distinctive feature from animals ...
What is the ability to think intelligently?
No, bro, this is called humanism, morality and morality!
This is what grandfather Confucius said - the five rules of a person who is going in a righteous way: "Ren" - philanthropy, humanity, mercy, to show sympathy. "And" - the truth, justice, to show rigor and firmness towards themselves. "Li" - traditions, rituals, customs, generally observe ethics and etiquette, adhere to the rules and norms of morality. "Zhi" - common sense, wisdom, ability to think strategically, calculate steps forward, be able to look at the problem from different points of view, not to be stubborn. "Xin" - sincerity, good intention, good faith, responsibility.
Yes, curious teachings. Probably they were the 10 commandments that in the 20th century still meant something in the West? Is there really more commandments? There are Solomon's commandments ...
But for some reason, in the West in the 21st century, these traditional commandments have moved away, such as the problem of 2000, and we begin to live again ... and new trends have appeared ...
Yes ... the world is changing. Everyone hoped that the new century would be brighter, more progressive, the beginning of the heyday of the new Renaissance ... but the matter turned out quite differently ...
Well, these are already global questions of philosophy. As one wise yogi, who was engaged in integral yoga, said, is the happiest person who does not think about anything ...
You are right or he is right ...
Well, are you going to tea?
Fang shook his head. As you know, I wonder why the British prefer black tea with milk, some with lemon, you are Chinese who enjoy around 200 varieties of green tea. Although from green tea with jasmine, then leg joints may suffer, the Japanese have "sechna", "match" and about 100 types of tea and its variations. But we use more herbal teas, although of course we also respect the green tea.
Well, you know, I like more boiling water, it is the cheapest and sweetest, said Fang. I completely agree with you, boiling water, it is also healing. If you drink two glasses of boiling water in the morning, provided that the water was environmentally friendly, then all the vessels are washed and the person wakes up and in good shape!
Yes, that is right!
So I will make tea ...
Half an hour later, Dara went to the bored Fang ... offering a fragrant mug of tea from "grass deer" ...
Fang automatically took the mug and drank a couple of sips ...
Good tea, he said.
Dara smiled, but the tea turned out great ...
The tireless tractor continued to dig in two hours, he managed to dig a hole 1.5 meters deep, before the animal discovery there were as many more ...
The tea is really good, Fang noticed! Pour another cup! Yup, I remembered that this tea cannot be drunk much, it washes away iron from blood and after meat it is impossible to drink it. But you can drink 5-6 times a month. Then there will be no harm, and the benefits will pass away! We need strength and endurance right now ...
Yup you are right…
It took another three hours ... the ground went ... notice it is softer ... which is strange ...
The sensor issued a signal that the anomaly was finally detected ...
looking into the pit they saw nothing ...
... Dara reluctantly jumped down ... and began to fumble with her hands on her head was a helmet with a lantern ...
... Well, that you found something, shouted from the top of Fang ...
... Still no!
... until he accidentally groped for some old, almost decomposed coin from the time ... it was Tang Jiang ...
