The general secretary of the Soviet Union arranged for a family of "rich peasants" to receive a group of original tours, herdsmen with more than 1,000 reindeer, a family of 18 men, women and children, who spoke Mongolian, so they had to arrange an interpreter. {Starter}

Reindeer herders are also nomadic people, and they even move more often than horseback peoples, because the reindeer live in a colder environment than the Mongolian steppe, and the plants can provide much less nutrients to the livestock, they have to move almost once a month, and the reindeer are not a completely tame livestock, they often howl uninhibitedly and eat all the plants they come across.

The ill-informed reindeer herders certainly didn't know that they were receiving a handful of the richest people in the world, and Tang Ning didn't know what the general secretary had paid the herdsmen, so in order to thank them for their reception, before setting off, he found someone to design a lightweight "RV", using lightweight plastic as the main body, with only two motorcycle-level wheels and a slender aluminum alloy support, it was as stable as Mount Tai, and a reindeer could pull it.

The reindeer caravan is like a 10 square metre bedroom with a bed and a small table, enough for two or three herders to enjoy the freedom of living in the forest. There are oval glass windows on each side of its southeast, northwest and northwest, one of which is a door with a window, and there is a small glass skylight at the top, which is rainproof, snowproof and windproof, small and beautiful, low cost and exquisite.

It costs about the same as a reindeer, and as a small house, the mechanical properties are much better than the wooden tents built by the herders themselves in the original way. Therefore, the herdsmen liked this little gift and immediately slaughtered a reindeer to entertain the guests.

When pushing the cup and changing the lamp, Downing found that the reindeer milk is particularly fragrant, worthy of being a species in extremely cold regions, and the protein content of reindeer milk can be realized by the taste alone is much higher than that of cow's milk.

The two sides happily negotiated the price, although the reindeer herdsmen could support themselves in most of the means of subsistence, but they still had to go to the towns to buy some materials that were difficult for them to produce, especially metal products, so they were not isolated savages, otherwise it would not be easy for the general secretary to find them.

How precious are reindeer, can you change to an "RV"? Therefore, herdsmen also like to go out hunting. If you come across a small river, you can also fish. Seeing fishing, the richest men remembered the big killer of the fish boss, and then laughed silently. Even better, the herders still use harpoons.

Their canoes are much more rudimentary than the decked speedboats of the richest people, and ordinary people dare not stand on them, and the swaying appearance is terrifying, and what is even more amazing is that the "fishermen" do not know how to swim at all, because in the coniferous forest where they live, the river is always too cold to learn to swim. The audience looked at these herdsmen who were willing to risk their lives for a few small broken fish, and they were full of emotion.

The reindeer herders in this tundra zone are relatively successful, while other herders are only able to domesticate 20 to 30 reindeer per family. The secret of their success lies in taming the leader of the reindeer, and then all the reindeer follow the leader, which is the habit of the reindeer, so the leader cannot be killed. The herders also have some reindeer dogs, and the herders are diligent in guarding the livestock.

Tang Ning said to his old friends: "Look, the herdsmen live more freely and freely, and they may be happier than the residents living in the city. ”

Qi Taiyu said: "Haha, you don't have to be a herder, you just rely on hunting, why bother raising reindeer?" Invent a random hunting weapon, ride a small airship high and high, find a group of beasts to open meat at any time, and live more comfortably than anything else. ”

Yataro Iwaki: "Can your harpoon be used to fork beasts?" ”

Tang Ning shook his head: "No, the speed is not fast enough, the beast is quite alert, the harpoon uses the refraction of water, the fish can only see the fork of the air attack within a few meters, and the beast will see you from afar." ”

Nobel: "You can improve it a little bit, throw it from a height of a few hundred meters, that speed, ensure that the prey does not have time to dodge." I remember a number, 450 meters, the free fall was 12 seconds, and the terminal speed was 9. 8 times 12,117. 6 meters per second, more than one-third of the speed of sound, and the initial velocity of a bullet propelled by black powder is 120 meters per second, so throwing a heavy object is equivalent to a shot. Throwing a shot is equivalent to a shotgun, and you don't even pay much attention to the target. ”

Tang Ning smiled and praised: "Yes, with the airship, the hunter's life is better, you can use a steel ball as a shotgun, why don't we try it?" ”

The amateur hunters were excited to try it. Of course, they couldn't wait to find some steel balls, so they just asked their assistants to pick up some more handy stones. Brazil's Cerrado Wasteland covers an area of 1.8 million square kilometers, more than the total arable land in China. The coniferous forests of Siberia are even more exaggerated, more than 7 million square kilometers. Among them, the high pressure centered on Lake Baikal (formed by the rapid drop in winter temperatures on land) makes the winters in Eastern Siberia harsh and dry, lacking wetlands and forests, and the contrast is even more pronounced with that of Western Siberia.

The hunters are not far from Lake Baikal at this time, so the forests they encounter are relatively sparse, and the fauna is correspondingly rare, and it is really an airship herder to be called an easy hunt, otherwise you will not find the beast for half a day. Fortunately, when the airship rises to an altitude of 3,000 meters, the diameter of the field of vision can reach 400 kilometers, and you can easily spot wild animals with high-powered telescopes, and you don't have to worry about not having a hunting object at all, and the local reindeer herders must be envious and jealous if they want to know this.

The assistants of the richest men work very hard, collect a huge number of high-altitude "bullets", and a hunting meteor shower is about to be staged. Wild reindeer, moose, and red deer are all moving in groups and are easy to spot by hunters, while wild boars are solitary and difficult to spot, so a herd of moose becomes their target.

It has been verified in practice that the lethality of the meteor shower is indeed great, but this shotgun bullet drifts badly and is not as fun as imagined. And the magazine crossbow that Downing invented last time for the hunt in New Guinea has become the object of competition among his partners, and it is still this traditional weapon.

Among the richest men in this vote, Xu Rongcun and Qi Taiyu's marksmanship is more accurate, because they have also received a certain amount of military training. Xu Rongcun is the equivalent of Tangning's head of intelligence in China, and Qi Taiyu has been training in Singapore for a period of time because he wants to retaliate against Qing officials.

If you want to be an airship hunter, the prey you can catch is still enough to make a comfortable life, but compared to the amazing harvest speed in Lake Baikal, it is naturally far worse, it seems that the density of animals is still different where there is water, and the life of herders in Eastern Siberia is a bit difficult.

The guys thought that the biggest problem for the herders was that they were far from the towns, so it was difficult to get medical care, and asked them what would happen if they got sick? The answer of the "wise man" among the herders is speechless: "We never get sick." ”

Could it be that you are descendants of the Protoss? Presumably it is their way of soothing themselves. Downing tried to sell wireless telegraphs to herders, but unfortunately they could not learn and had no love. Downing did not give up, thought for a long time, and decided to provide operator services for Siberian reindeer herders and Mongolian herders, adding a button to the telegraph machine to pull the operator, and each telegraph machine was registered when it was sold, so the service provider could provide a special operator for customers who spoke a certain language.

Because the Windsor consortium had the deep pockets to provide services in all the world's time zones, even in the middle of the night, the Soviet state telecommunications company was able to find operators who were during normal working hours in a certain time zone to serve nomadic customers. The only problem is that it can only be called by voice and telegram, because such a vast area cannot provide instant two-way communication for the time being, and there is no such powerful optical cable network, so it can only be dominated by unreliable radio communication, and it is an analog signal without error correction function, because the probability of errors in long-distance wireless calls is too great, and the errors are always made in lossless digital transmission, and the customer will go crazy.

The "Reindeer Herdsman Edition" wireless telegraph is more powerful than the ordinary A5 LCD telegraph, and there is a special operator, but the price is cheaper, and the annual rent is only 100 rubles (gold content is 1). 2 grams, equivalent to one-sixth of a pound sterling, this is the size of the old ruble of the Russian Empire, and the Central Bank of the USSR still uses the old format and is on the gold standard in order to get residents to the new currency as soon as possible).

It was so cheap that the operator could use the radio location system of the telegraph itself to know the position of the herders, and as long as the herders stayed where they were, the merchants could fly to them and trade with them, such as the reindeer milk for Downing, and the executive team was required to keep in touch with the reindeer kulath at all times.

This is not enough to convince the herdsmen to buy, they can only promise that they can ask the government for help at any time, and when they are attacked by Russian imperial partisans and the like, the Soviet government will send attack helicopters to the nearest rescue, this service is kind enough, right?

Of course, if a herder who does not get sick falls ill "unprecedentedly", Windsor Hospital can send a doctor to give first aid.

Since the herders were walking in a no-man's land, the telegraph also came with a small windmill generator, alas, they really made a lot of money. In order to encourage these ignorant herders to spread this great welfare product among their fellow citizens, if they persuade a brother to buy it, they can reduce the rent by 10 roubles, up to a maximum of 70 roubles.

Herders have a hard and environmentally damaging behavior: logging trees and building reindeer pens. When the reindeer herd reaches the level of thousands, and they migrate every twenty days, the number of trees cut down is counted. Such a large area of fences is also destined to be reusable, unlike the folding brackets of yurts.

Downing decided to develop a lightweight fence that uses a plastic frame and a hemp rope mesh structure, which is super light and highly retractable. Even so, the total weight is still considerable, and it takes a big truck to pull it. For this reason, the "Fence Company" also provides a professional moving service, sending an airship to help the herders pull the reusable fences to the new settlements. The reason why the airship is not used for trucks is because the traffic situation in the no-man's land makes it impossible for the trucks to move smoothly.

If more and more herders buy special fences in the future, each time the airship is dispatched, several herdsmen's new homes can be built nearby, and the cost will also be greatly reduced. Downing encouraged herders to arrange new homes nearby, so that several families could share a telegraph and buy goods such as reindeer milk. This is to encourage herders to move from town to town, which is called a mobile reindeer herder town.

In the herdsmen's town, everyone shouted and camped together, and with the town, many public facilities became available. Downing can even set up three major items for nomads: a town mayor, a doctor, and a teacher. Since the "people of God" are not sick, this doctor can be spared. Children are no longer bored and can "go to school".

The herdsmen have no concept of distance at all, living in water and grass, limited by the field of vision, the probability of encountering the place where the water and grass are fertile is low, with the mobile town, the moving airship can even guide the mayor to find the most fertile and open area not far away, maybe the frequency of moving can be extended from 20 days to a month. （http：／/.)。 Who doesn't want to live a stable life, there is no reliable plan, everyone has to move frequently. People are social creatures, who doesn't want to live in towns, but there is no reliable leadership plan.

In the Soviet Union, the most domineering entrepreneur was, of course, Boss Tang, the only one who had the freedom to create enterprises without restrictions, and it was impossible for the general secretary to disagree. Yataro Iwaki, who was defeated by the fish boss, finally thought of something interesting and good that he should do, isn't Alaska, a Japanese territory, also in a geographical environment like Siberia? It just so happened that he could go there and help the local herders to establish "nomadic towns".

Nobel planned to return to Sweden to set up a similar company to help herders migrate, and their idea was supported by Downing, the founder, and the three billionaires worked together to promote this new type of nomadic herding. These days, Sweden's reindeer herders are no more affluent than their Siberian herders. Beechcraft Tip: How to quickly search for the books you're looking for
