Happy Tycoon

? Along the Irtysh River upstream, from Omsk to the Russia-Kazakhstan border is only a voyage of 170 kilometers.

During this voyage, the railway from Omsk to Barnaul on the east side runs parallel to the west bank of the river. It will not merge with another railway in a small town on the west bank of the river until it approaches the border between the two countries. Then cross the Irtysh River through a high railway bridge, and finally arrive at Barnaul, the capital of Russia's Altai Krai.

After the Siberian Endeavour crossed the elevated railway bridge, it came to the border between the two countries. What surprised Yang Jing was that, because of the relationship between the two countries, there was no special customs on the border. The Siberian Endeavour passed the border with no one to check...

To be honest, this is the first time Yang Jing has encountered such a smooth customs clearance.

However, after entering the territory of Kazakhstan, the river is much narrower than that of Omsk, and the water flow is much faster, but in terms of the performance of the Siberian Endeavour, this level of water velocity can be directly ignored.

In fact, there is almost no change in the situation in Kazakhstan and Russia. Basically, you can see a town every seven or eight kilometers. Some towns have piers by the river, while others do not. , But there is no doubt that these towns are relying on this long-standing Irtysh River to survive.

Because it is sailing on the inland river, the speed of Siberian Endeavour has always been maintained at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour. This way, starting from Omsk in the morning, after one day and one night sailing, in the early morning of the next day, The yacht arrived at Papolodar, the capital of Papolodar, a province in the northeastern part of the country.

Paplodar City now has more than 400,000 people and is an important industrial city in northern Kazakhstan. Before coming, Yang Jing knew about the city only as it said in the middle school geography textbook many years ago: One of the four major industrial zones in the former Soviet Union "Karaganda-Paplodar Central Industrial Zone".

But when the yacht arrived here, after admiring the city from close range, Yang Jing deeply realized why the industrial products of the former Soviet Union were called "silly, big and clumsy" by the whole world.

From this important industrial city in the former Soviet Union, you can clearly feel the breath of "stupid and clumsy". Even though the former Soviet Union has been disintegrated for almost 30 years, the city still maintains the kind of former Soviet Union. Industrial style.

Some of the factories left over from the Cold War in the last century are ruined, but some are still in operation. The tall chimneys continue to emit thick smoke, even if they are separated by several kilometers. You can see clearly.

Yang Jing thought to himself, if this is China, which is paying more and more attention to environmental protection, such a large chimney would have been sealed long ago. The fault is that in such a sparsely populated Siberian wasteland, such a large chimney without environmental protection measures can survive.

Those big chimneys living here are really very happy...

Yang Jing didn't feel good about this city, so he didn't bother to go ashore. However, the river course near Paplodar has become a lot wider, and the widest place can even be close to one kilometer. In addition, it is an industrial city in itself, so there are a lot more transport ships on the river.

The luxurious Siberian Endeavour looked like a porcelain doll in front of these stupid and cumbersome transport ships. Yang Jing didn't want to stay here anymore, so he informed Captain Ivan to move on.

After nearly twenty hours of sailing, the yacht came to a city in the middle of the night. At this time, Yang Jing and the others were all asleep, and Captain Ivan directly put the yacht on a pier, then turned off the fire and went to sleep.

It may be that the boat stopped and became more stable. Yang Jing slept particularly soundly. When he woke up, it was already three poles in the sun.

While washing, Yang Jing discovered that the yacht was docked at a city pier.

Arriving in the driver's cab, Yang Jing asked Captain Iwan who had just gotten up: "Which city is this? Why did you stop here?"

"Mr. Yang, this is Semiyi. It used to be Semipalatinsk. It was the capital of Semipalatinsk Oblast. However, after the Semipalatinsk Oblast merged with East Kazakhstan Oblast, it was not here. The capital."

"Semiyi? That city that had done a nuclear test?" Yang Jing asked.

"That's right, it was the place where the first mushroom bomb was tested in the Soviet Union. But the mushroom bomb was not tested here, but at the Mishkova test site about 150 kilometers away."

"Oh? It's only one hundred and fifty kilometers? That's not too far, you can go over and take a look."

Captain Ivan smiled and said, "That's why I parked the ship here. Every time Mr. Alec Perov came to Semiyi, he would go to the nuclear test site to take a look. Said that it is the starting point of the glory of the Soviet Union and Russia, and it is a place that every Russian should visit."

Yang Jing agrees with this. Just like China, if China had not successfully developed two bombs and one satellite, then the world pattern would definitely not be what it is now. If you look at India, you will know the fate of no such deterrent weapon.

The former Soviet Union was called the "Red Giant" and "Red Terror" by Western countries. Its root lies in the large number of nuclear weapons in the hands of others. Even the Red Giant that caused the collective terror of Western countries eventually fell, but took over the Red. Russia, where most of the giant’s legacy is, is still something Western countries dare not look down upon.

Regardless of the sanctions imposed on Russia by Western countries headed by the United States, they only stop at economic sanctions. The United States is so aggressive but never dared to use force against Russia. In fact, it is because Russia has enough nuclear weapons.

And all of this, the starting point comes from this nuclear test site.

"Well, we will stay here for a day to visit the nuclear test site."

Yang Jing's breakfast was eaten in Saiyimi City. Since he has stopped in this city, Yang Jing, as a foodie, naturally will not let go of the food here.

Captain Iwan is very familiar with the local situation, so he volunteered to serve as Yang Jing's tour guide. Sure enough, under his leadership, Yang Jing tasted the most delicious food in the city.

Compared to Papolodar, Semiyi has a population of only over 300,000 people, but it is much more refined than Papolodar. The city is full of Russian-style buildings and rarely See tall buildings. In the new district on the west bank of the river, there are quite a few high-rise residential buildings, but the height is only ten stories high.

"This city was a military fortress three hundred years ago, but in 1778, the Irtysh River flooded and washed away the old city. In that year, the entire city moved upstream. Eighteen kilometers, this city was finally formed here. If we arrive here during the day, we can still see the ruins of the former military fortress downstream."

Yang Jing smiled and said, "It's okay, we won't have time to look again when we return."

Captain Ivan continued: "Mr. Yang, do you like boxing or not?"

Yang Jing nodded and said, "It's okay, but I like to watch boxing matches. As for boxing, I haven't practiced."

"Then you must have heard of Brother Klitschko?"

"Of course, when I went to school, it was the era when these two brothers ruled the world's heavyweight boxing world. I really like their boxing style. Oh, yes, the older brother of the Klitschko brothers seems to be Kiev now. Mayor of the city? Victor, why did you suddenly mention their brothers here?"

"Yes, my brother Victor Klitschko ran for the president of Ukraine a few years ago, but he did not succeed, but became the mayor of Kiev. My younger brother, Vladimir Klitschko, last year Retired. Mr. Yang, you might think that the two of them are Ukrainians. This is actually true, because they are indeed Ukrainian, but did you know that the birthplace of the two brothers is in this city."

"Yeah? The Klitschko brothers were born in this city?"

Captain Ivan nodded seriously, "Their brothers are now the most famous people in this city. Now there are many children in this city who target and idolize the Klitschko brothers."

After walking around the city for about three hours, the group once again ate lunch in a restaurant with local characteristics in the city, and then returned to the ship. Chris drove the R66 helicopter, Yang Jing, Captain Ivan and Bruce and Morris boarded the helicopter, and then the helicopter flew steadily towards the Mishkva nuclear test site, about 150 kilometers west.

The R66 was very fast, and it only took more than half an hour to fly to the first nuclear test site in the former Soviet Union.

If Captain Ivan didn’t say that the desolate grassland below was the nuclear test site where the Soviets first tried to explode mushroom bombs, Yang Jing really couldn’t believe that the Soviet Union’s first mushroom bomb ever exploded in the area below. .

A circular puddle appeared in the line of sight ahead. From the perspective of its shape, it is absolutely impossible for this puddle to be formed naturally.

Sure enough, Captain Ivan pointed to the puddle and said: "That puddle is the blast hole that was exploded when the'pumpkin' was tried to explode back then~www.readwn.com~ The diameter is about 500 meters, and the depth is 80 meters! It’s just that this puddle is now not as big as it used to be."

"Boss, did we land there?"

Captain Ivan said: "You can land there, but let's not stay there for too long. Although 70 years have passed since the nuclear test, the nuclear pollution here is still relatively serious. We are not wearing anti-nuclear weapons. Service, so try not to stay here for too long."

Yang Jing asked with some worry: "Then if we don't wear anti-nuclear suits and just go on like this, will we be exposed to radiation?"

"Don't worry, as long as we are not exposed to radiation for a long time, there is no problem. Mr. Alec Perov and I have been here many times, and every time I come, I don’t wear a nuclear protective suit. Now I am not. Is it good?"

After hearing Captain Ivan's words, everyone was relieved. Under Chris' superb control, the helicopter slowly landed less than a hundred meters away from the big puddle...
