In book 3, the Narrator had mentioned, that Ruvim Pechor gave several interviews at Komi. In order to explain, why the journalists of the Clever Times and the Paygirl got interested in Ruvim Pechor, I had loaded the Book4. It describes how the Clever Times and the Paygirl tried to boil-up the scandal around Gella Ivanov, but did not advance much. The Clever Times had published the strongly censored version of the interview. As for the Paygirl, they did not succeed to find even 10 minutes clip from the long movie recorded by Journalist John Quin: the content was too sandal even for the Paygirl.
Then, the journalists goaled the audit participants of the scandal, id est, Nata Kiskin and Ruvim Pechor. The comments by Nata were completely boring; she tried to read her poems glorifying her debut in the Slave Market at Murka and the following success with both, the dependents and the potential employers. So, these interviews are not loaded.
So, the journalists recorded the interview with Ruvim Pechor at Komi. They were pushed by Mozdok Tsuker, master of Ruvim. It was not so scandalous, but, at least, the Paygirl could publish it after the moderate edition. However, for Ruvim, the resulting clip looked completely altered.. Tahat is usual case: the researchers and the journalists have very different points of view on the events.
In such a way the narrator got carried away from adventures of Ruvim Pechor and did not tell, hot Rivim Pechor happened at Imar. This file fills the gap.
New master of Ruvim was Ambek Ogloed Mirna, Ministry of Agriculture of Imar.
Ambek tried to be polite.
Ambek called Ruvim by video.
Ambek was covered with hairs, the only his eyes, nose and lips were seen at the background of dense wool.
Ambeck asked Ruvim which mode of transportation he preferres: train or airplane.
Ruvim had seen steam locomotives in Murka and Morga. Ruvim chose a plane.
If Ruvim had seen this airplane, his answer would have been different.
Perhaps I should describe this "airplane" in more detail.
That thing, called "Aircraft" was slightly modified drone Utka-4. Actually, it was still called Utka-4. «Utka» meant «duck»; that it had a tandem composition; the pair of small wings ahead and a little bit bigger triangular wing behind. Cifer 4 meant that it was designed to carry 4 centners of load, either cocaine or explosive, dependently on the mission. Perhaps, the main purpose was related to explosive, because that amount of cocaine mentioned was sufficient to deliver to Allah all the administrators of Moscovia of time of the Bigpuf. During century 21, millions of Utka-4 had been cobbled by the cheap preteen black girls at the Alabuga Institute, but also by a little bit more qualified prisoners in the secret underground factory under mount Yamantau.
The corresponding amount of fuel and explosive had been stored in the special underground arsenals. The regulation had prohibited to keep together the drones, the fuel for them and the explosive. Being supplied with nuclear bombs of moderate energy, these Utka-4 could be able to «converts into the radioactive ache» not only the USA, but all the continents, and perhaps, also several biggest islands too. No one system of the air defense can intercept millions drones - especially, is some of them are equipped with nuclear bombs.
The ambitious project with the Utka-4 were not realized. The proverb «Aim not at the arrows, but at the archer» is known during akiloyears. The Transfer of hostilities to aggressor territory had been performed since the first half of century 21. During the Bigpuf, most of arsenals and fuel storages were successfully "demilitarized" and "denazified." At the time, these terms meant that some drones, similar to the Duck-4 or even smaller, but highly accurate, has penetrated the arsenal's ventilation openings or targeted the fuel tank valves, causing a secondary detonation.
Perhaps, some drone headed also the storages of the Utka-4, but the empty Utka-4 does not cause a secondary detonation. The Siberia Wings company discovered the practically unlimited amount of the Utka-4 and adopted them for the peaceful use; first, as a cargo drone, and the, as a manned passenger aircrafs.
Utka-4 is made of cheap transparent plastic.
Utka-4 had no cabin, the only trunk in the front part, the fuel tanks in wings and motor with pushing propeller at the tail.
Utka-4 had no landing gear; it was not designed to land.
Utka-4 starts from the catapult at the acceleration of 2g.
Utka-4 can land on its belly; especially if some flat grassy meadow or a smooth deep snow is arranged as the runway.
As a passenger aircraft, the Utka-4 looked as a parody of a real flier.
At the landing, in order not to break the propeller, Utka-4 has to stop the engine; then, the two-blade propeller is fixed in the horizontal position; Utka-4 landed аs a motor-less glider. After reloading, Utka-4 needed an external starter and the catapult to take-off.
The transparent trunk, served as a cabin, allowed for visibility down, to the sides, and a little bit forward.
The front wings could be moved using the two handles inside the "cabin."
The pilot had to lay on his stomach and control the wings manually, without any hydraulics.
This aircraft had no rudder. The pitch and the roll could be controlled with the front wings, but the jaw was uncontrollable. The big vertical stabilizer was supposed to mitigate the case. Practically, the Duck-4 experienced problems in any turbulence.
Some versions of the Duck-4 had no starter; after the engine shut down for landing, the pilot was unable to make a second landing attempt.
For all this, the Duck-4 was also called the "flying coffin" or "flyingTurkey".
The Duck-4 had only one advantage: it costed next to nothing.
For this advantage, the "flying coffin" was popular in Komi and some other farms.
The "flying coffins" were used to deliver mail to Amonalka.
Such a «Flying coffin» delivered Ruvim Pechor to Imaral, capital of Imar. The small boy as pilot find nothing scary in his aircraft. The start from the catapult was painful; the flight was horribly cold and bumpy; the landing was horrible, it sounded as a car crash. After to get out from the luggage trunk (that pretended to he a cabin), Rivim found that his head, all his arms and legs were at their places. The air was warm. Minister of Nature of Imar, Ambek Ogloed congratulated the small boy, who used to fly this disaster, with the «perfect landing». Soon, the "flying coffin" had been reloaded, dragged to the catapult, refueled, and the same small pilot flew it North, to Komi. There were also serious hungars and more civilized fliers at the airfield.
Ambek Ogloed took Ruvim to his new home (the closet with a table, computer, chair and a bed), showed him the toilet (the platform above the inlet valve of the fermentation tank), and the shower (the tank with two taps). There was no kitchen at the Ruvim's home. But Ambek promised the three meals a day in the canteen.
Several homes similar to the Ruvim's new lodging were around. They were connected by gravel paths to the Dining room and the Laboratory. The laboratory occupied a wing of the Ministry of Agriculture of Imar. The small town Imaral was seen behind the building of the Ministry Of Agriculture, and hills and mount of Imar were behind. After the Bigpuf, this place happened to be less contaminated, and the Capital of Imar had been built there.
The laboratory occupied a wing of the Ministry of Agriculture of Imar. It has modern equipment. Ruvim had mentioned the "Clean room", the commercial DNA analyzer, chemical analyzer, the conference-hall.
Ruvim was not surprised. Ruvim knew that composition of modern with savage is typical for Tartaria. Why Imar could be an exception?
The roads have solid pavement. There were shops around.
Ambek presented Ruvim to his new colleagues.
Chang Rahma was head of the laboratory and head of the project. Chang explained to Ruvim his job.
Apparently, the problem was several kiloyear old: many animals of various kinda wanted to eat the harvest before the humans pick it up.
The problem was postponed, together with many other problems (and many humans) during the Bifpuf. After the cooptation of Imar to Tartaria, the life in Imar had stabilized, but some mammals, bird and insects were considered the fields and gardens of Imar as a stable source of food.
In particular, the insects entered the meshes, that used to protect the vineyards from the birds. The simplest solution, such as chemical methods – the use of insecticides – has been considered but has not yet been put into practice: since the Bigpuf, all are afraid of any king of poison. While there were few vineyards, the problem was not so grave, but then, the populations of unwanted eaters grown up. Chang Rama had consulted with the Interface of the Federal Library of Tartaria. The Interface had suggested some insects-predators, including the Dragonflies. Chang Rama did not believed the recommendation by the robot and performed the series of experiments, before to recommend the methods fo the whole farm. The experiments failed. The suggestions from the foreigners colleagues did not work: the Bigpuf boosted the mutations, and the foreign specialists knewe close to nothing about new mutants that were eating the hardest at Imar. Then Ambek told that Chang should employ a human-biologist. No one specialist from any civilized country agreed to work at Imar. But Ambek had find a biologist for Chang. Rivim Pechor happened to be such a biologist.
Ruvim Pechor spent many days in the library searching for equivalents, analogies of the new mutants, grown during the half-century on millions of square kilometers of territory highly contaminated with toxic chemicals and unstable isotopes. Then, almost every day Rugim had suggested a new hypotheses. The hypotheses happened to be wrong, but Chang Rama and Ambek Ogloed believed the recommendations by Mosdok Tsuker and Lesli Landov. En fin, Ruvim suggested the large-step gradation of species.
The first hypothesis by Ruvim was trivial: Praying mantises and ants eat insects. Dragonflies catch insects in flight. Swifts feed on phylloxera and mosquitoes but do not eat praying mantises or dragonflies. Hawks hunt other birds capable of attacking swifts, yet they cannot catch the swifts themselves. The solution does not lie in exterminating any species. The goal is to create favorable conditions for praying mantises, dragonflies, swifts, and hawks. To this end, channels with flowing water were constructed for dragonflies. Walls were built with niches in their upper sections where swifts and hawks can nest.
Also, cats and other small predators were selected as "useful".
The Research had advanced in several directions.
1. Modification of agricultural crops. Ruvim mentioned this at the beginning. The same is performed at the Galia National University of Tartaria. Ruvim promised to construct the rewired series as soon as someone calculated the required DNA sequences.
2. Favorable conditions for the selected infects; mainly, Mantidaes, Dragonfies.
3. favorable conditions for the selected birds; mainly, Swifts and Hawks.
4. Favorable conditions for the selected mammals; mainly, cats and foxes.
Ruvim had to program the statistical treatments of the experimental data.
Almost no personal life is allowed at Imar. All executives and businessmen in Kirian were convinced that their genotype was vastly superior to that of the "base-level" population. Under Kirian’s national eugenics program, only those citizens of Imar (Tartarians) who owned property, paid taxes, and earned a sufficient income were permitted to engage in sexual relations. Most women in Kirian were someone’s property; such was the country’s state policy. To avoid provoking unauthorized conception, even swimming without a swimsuit was prohibited in Imar.
In certain sense, Ruvim had advanced with his research. En fin, Ruvim had resented the results of his analysis: all the methods mentioned seemed to be useful, but the improvement was not statistically significant.
After the presentation, Ruvim had been sold to the rehabilitation clinic at the neighbor farm Kirian.
At Kirian, Rivim had been ordered to work at hospital. It was very specific job.
The narcotic chemicals are not banned in Kirian. Even the public smoking, hardly restricted in other farms, is allowed in some sites of Kirian. As the result, all the day and all the night, the police had been picked up the human bodies. Ruvim, as biologist, was supposer to consider each case and to identify, can the body alive or not; and if it can get alive, does it require some medical treatment or not; is the body dangerous for the society or not.
However, there were many doctors at the Kirian National Hospital. The problem was, that the number of the bodies delivered to the hospital, exceeded the ability of doctors to sort, to qualify them. Several robots also had performed the selection. But the slaves like Ruvim were cheaper, than the robots.
The aforementioned patients with drug addiction constituted a relatively small segment of the population.
The Kirian national program posited that genetic predisposition to potent drugs would disappear within a few generations as a result of natural selection.
There were other ways to intensify natural selection as well.
In particular, in Kirian, the swimming suites are prohibited. This ban causes some discomfort for visitors from Imar, where the use of a swimsuit is prescribed.
Ruvim Pechor found one of these cases amassing, and even wrote a short essay abut it. He had sent it to the BBC at the UK and then to the Paygirl at the USA. Ruvim expected the case to be much more interesting, than the boring interviews, where he had to answer the stupid questions by the Journalists. However, the Editorials mentioned had the opposite opinions on that is interesting and what is not...
