Leaving the car in the yard of the farm ... thetrinity 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Climate, soil, and hydrological maps were all outdated; those that were produced in the 00s of the 21st century only updated geographic names on the bottom, and the river network, roads, settlements, and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.
This is a great job! You need a lot of money, a lot, 200 to 400 million dollars. Apparently, it will be necessary to attract foreign experts, since there are practically no practical ones left. All of them, their specialists, clans are exterminated. In those days when financial support was needed to preserve domestic cadres - the clans said, we do not need specialists and intellectuals. Leave, away. Someone could have gone to the USA, Israel, Canada, Germany, France, Sweden, Switzerland, New Zealand, Australia, Brazil, the United Arab Emirates, Japan, South Korea, China, Russia, Turkey, Spain, Norway ... Someone left for retirement. Someone with grief washed down alcoholic beverages and quickly died. Someone retrained to another specialty.
The time has passed ... steel specialists were needed, and there were practically no more. Yes, and they are not new posts online on job search sites, these posts get only theirs and even their experts do not have information about these positions.
In general, when there is a clan system, it intends to inhibit the development of society. Everything here depends on the wishes of those who make decisions, when it is then for 10-20-30 years, this direction develops. As the one who supports this direction goes away, the clans immediately destroy this industry. On average, development is 30 years and then 30 years of degradation, and so on in a circle.
Thus, 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.
