Hey, Dara, Baraz, that you take so long! Send already the drilling rig brought, we will drill!
Leaving the car in the yard of the farm ... the trinity first headed into the house, it was necessary to have a bite, wash and then go and see how the drilling process begins, in the second foothill area.
Hydrological maps in this area just passed underground water, which lay at a depth of 12 meters. But the trick was that all specialized maps were made from 1969 to 1974, the topographic basis of the maps was 1979. And now it's 21st century!
This was the main problem! Topographic and thematic maps were compiled during the past social system, were compiled 40 or even 50 years ago. During this time, the climate has changed, a huge lake has disappeared, a new one has appeared - man-made. What led to regional climate change, which also affected continental.
The sand from the bottom of the disappeared huge lake was salty, and the military ground forgotten by everyone was located nearby, where they experienced some kind of scary and poisonous weapon of mass destruction ... no one knew about it for a long time. Information about him appeared in the media only at the beginning of the zero years of the 21st century ... so everyone was surprised! This is a common story when large empires located their "strange" objects away from the territory of the empire. These were cosmodromes, and sites for testing nuclear weapons and chemical and biological weapons and gravitational. All the pollution from these "oddities" remained in the colony. The inhabitants of the colonies sometimes did not know about the dangerous neighborhood.
Dust from the bottom of the lake is carried by the winds and to Europe ... and to the Arctic Ocean. It will not be possible to play with nature. The circulation of substances in nature, no one has yet canceled.
Climate, soil, and hydrological maps were all outdated; those that were produced in the 00s of the 21st century only updated geographic names on the bottom, and the river network, roads, settlements, and administrative boundaries.
In addition to all the existing problems, the problem of copyright was superimposed, since the existing topographic basis of the maps was carried out by the authors of the country which was no longer there. However, the copyright remained with their heirs. In order to legitimately use new cards, it was necessary to pay money for the use of copyright and obtain permission from the right holders. But no one did. New maps that were created they did not have the authorization to use the topographic basis ...
There were two ways out. The first is to buy permission to use the old topographic framework of 1960-1979. And during this time, many landscapes, the flow of rivers, the contours of lakes, reservoirs, even elevations have changed. The second is the purchase of its satellite for topographic reference areas. Work for three years. But there will already be an updated topographic map of the entire country.
But here you need a lot of money, because you will have to update all thematic maps - climatic, soil, geochemical, hydrological, geological, geomorphological, landscape, groundwater, historical, administrative, population density, population, industry, etc.
hus, there are no modern thematic maps. Although? It seems that one scientific center has produced modern maps in the atlas, but there are 35 million people and 35,000 scientists in the country, the circulation is only 900 copiesand in bookstores they are not. There is in the library ... if desired. But not the fact that they have new data in the atlas. Since each organization that created new maps, they usually took the old data from 1960-1979 for the topographical basis and naturally did not pay royalties for the right to use the topographical basis, but at the same time, they already sell their cards for big money. One map in digital form on a numerical scale of 1 cm - 5 km will have a cost of about $ 20,000, while on average one research institute has about $ 80,000 of funding per year! So it's not easy to buy such an expensive card.
So, having such disappointing data, we have to take everything on ourselves and do research from scratch. It is good that at the Institute of Remote Sensing of the Academy of Sciences of China, we had a map of your area, up-to-date, based on satellite-based data processing and refined by your remaining specialists. Map relatively new late 1990s. Everything is better than your data.
According to this map, the groundwater has gone three to four meters down compared to the maps of 1979 ... Although this data is not quite ton, it is rather estimated, therefore, on the spot, it will be necessary to deal with clarifications. Anyway, our guys from Chengdu are specialists, professionals in their field, and your specialists will help them!
Let's go eat and go watch. They will start in 40 minutes!
By the way, did Yoshida-san not come yet?
Not!
Probably late. Left late and now can be seen standing in traffic. Nothing probably in an hour - another will arrive. This happens. Interestingly, they built an overpass to relieve the ring road to the suburbs, but on the contrary it contributes to congestion. Magic, on the contrary, some kind of work!
It is best to eat your samsa for lunch, it is like a plate, so big. It is worth one thing - 1 dollar. But you can eat enough for 5 hours easy! Lamb, white fat and trembling, silent onion, flaky, crunchy dough. A bit of salt. Inside the samsa there is also the softest broth. I was just on the outskirts of the city bought in the cafe "Auntie Paris".
One by one we will eat, drink herbal tea and go slowly.
After the meal, there will be exercise, a walk. As Bird Wolfe used to say, a world-class culinary specialist, after eating, a person should walk 3-4 km it is good for health!
Although of course we only go 3 km to the southeast, but this is not a city, there are no asphalt roads. If we go on foot, it will take about two hours. The terrain there is hilly ... So let's ride a motorcycle with a sidecar, The image of Shir immediately appeared in my head ...
Not a problem master! I will drive in the wind with a breeze! Why do you beat your feet on the stones! I am not a simple motorcycle, but a double purpose, special!
Aha, we have all dual-use pots; they easily turn into anti-tank mines, tractors into tanks, pencils into a cartridge factory, a sugar factory into powder, weaving mills at parachute manufacturing factories, a high-energy laboratory into a factory producing gravitational weapons. True, it is not controlled yet. You want one country to disappear, and half the world can disappear ... but then it's very scary, much cooler than a powerful rocket. Maybe the Earth will not be, who knows how the black hole will behave?
Maybe it's good that the work in this laboratory turned? Brilliant scientists, sometimes they can easily erase entire cities with a smile on their face from a successful experiment.
Uh, master, no need to scare people! I'm not like that! I'm done for good! Not evil!
So you have a wheelchair turret installed for a machine gun ...
Well, it's the little things that should not go into ...
... Yes, the time of dual-use motorcycles remained in the distant 1950s.
How much time do you take us?
How much do you need?
I can turn on the magic component and bring you in 10 seconds!
Nah! No! No need! Baraz does not know about you, Shir!
It's boring, okay, let's go quietly, in about 20 minutes we'll get there!
Why so long?
You do not please, master!
Come on in 12 minutes, take us!
As you say! So do it!
...
Go. I'll be driving, said Fang! Baraz will sit in the stroller, and you will go back from behind Dara!
Why are you doing this?
Because I know where the installation!
Well, it's on my site!
Er, in short, I want to lead!
Okay!
Go!
Well, you're not Gagarin!
No, but how well he said!
Baraz sit down, let's go!
We went ...
By the way, here I remembered how grandmother said that our site is located in 4 buffer zones. Previously, they conducted experiments there on the level of contamination of vegetable crops coming from the highway. Since the fuel contains non-combustible heavy metals. Therefore, if there are such vegetables or fruits, this will have a negative impact on human health.
Environmentalists on the basis of research said that the minimum buffer zone should be at least 100 meters, then the maximum permissible concentrations of pollutants are within the normal range. But here the trick is that these data were at the end of 1980. Now there are more pollutants and new parameters have not been determined.
In fact, humanity lives according to the old laws, guests, standards, rules, maps, and the world has changed! You need to re-examine everything! Then there is no money! There is money for any garbage, but there is no useful research! This is a general crisis of public science. Since in the 21st century, science began to develop only in the corporate sector, but people from the street will not be taken there. The usual, open science all over the world reduces funding for it. What the world has done has changed. What awaits humanity in another 20-30 years is hard to imagine?
Maybe this will be the flowering of science and technology, art and culture, and maybe a new stage of neo-colonization! The elite gives up easily the population, the population the elite, everyone ultimately wants only money. In short, everything is incomprehensible! People are drowning before our eyes!
New fools monsters come out after watching television, ideological processing makes people stupid, meaner, unable to consider the objects of study from different points of view, an objective assessment. They became easy to manipulate, the emergence of new gadgets instead of development gives new elements of the hidden control of consciousness.
In general, while we can see that world law is in full ass, Europe has multidimensional standards, it is far from united in its striving for light, the personal interests of individual countries, above their stated morality of striving for light. Europe has actually moved away from its hymn of joy, it seems to be going in the opposite direction from that declared in the hymn!
World has gone mad! But for us researchers, all that remains is to fix it for history. Mankind already such processes of decline took place countless times, and then dawn came. Here is the key word, will we have time to see it or not?
If you think only about money, then we are losers, if you think about the soul, then there is a chance to become a winner in a distant world. Reliable and alive person!
