War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 577
At Inta Airport, when Wei Ran and his group walked out of the pick-up gate with their luggage, they immediately saw Misha, Alili and others who were waiting in advance.

After exchanging pleasantries, Suisui introduced the four uncles with the title of "engineer" to Misha and the others, and Alili also sent a bouquet of flowers to the four uncles in turn.

"Shall we rest in Inta for a day first, or go directly to the hot spring camp?" Alili and Wei Ran asked after touching their fists.

"Let's go directly to the camp," Sui Sui said, "Alili, have you found all the apprentices you're looking for?"

"It's been found a long time ago," Alili replied confidently, "even all the tools are ready."

Sui Suo waved her hand, "Then let's go straight away!"

The chief CEO and COO of the Inta camp and the decisions of C and other O's, everyone will naturally not have any opinions, so before she finished speaking, the four patrol members behind Alili immediately greeted her enthusiastically. After passing the luggage of the four mason uncles, they walked to the tarmac surrounded by them.

He boarded the plane under the leadership of Alili, and after Wei Ran helped close the cabin door, Alili immediately asked, "Victor, are you driving?"

"I'll let it go, it will scare them."

Wei Ran quickly waved his hand and refused. In the eyes of the four mason uncles, he was just a rich nephew studying in Russia, and there was no need to break this inherent image.

Fortunately, Alili didn't insist. He started the plane skillfully, took off smoothly under the guidance of the tower, and flew straight to the direction of the hot spring camp after circling for a while.

After the plane stabilized, Misha immediately unbuckled her seat belt, and distributed a gauze sun hat and a large bottle of insect repellent spray to everyone present.

Such a battle also made Wei Ran realize that the harsh natural environment of the Inta camp this season may be beyond his expectations.

After almost an hour of flying, when the plane began to lower its altitude, Wei Ran also saw clearly the abandoned airport on the ground through the porthole.

It has only been more than half a year since he came here. Although he has not landed yet, he has vaguely seen that the original abandoned tower has been rebuilt, and the trees on both sides of the airport runway have also been felled and installed. There is a barbed wire fence, and even the runway itself can vaguely see the patchy color difference formed after repair.

But compared to these, the most attractive thing is the five An-2 planes parked side by side on the side of the runway, and the rumbling noise of the air cannon that repels birds can be heard even across the cabin. But something that has never happened before.

A moment later, the plane landed lightly at the end of the airport runway, and came to a steady stop after taxiing to the side of the other five planes.

"Welcome to the hot spring camp!"

Sui Sui let out a cheer like crazy, and was the first to jump out along the hatch that Wei Ran had just opened.

I have to admit that compared to the cold winter, this camp in summer is much more beautiful. As far as the eye can see, there are green virgin coniferous forests, and even the air seems to be mixed with a small amount of mint It's also extraordinarily comfortable.

Of course, besides the beautiful scenery, there are also a lot of mosquitoes. In the blink of an eye, there are some insects like small bites on the gauze net of the sun hat that Wei Ran is wearing.

Before Alili and Misha, who were last in line, left the cabin, four clean white vans drove over at a high speed.

"Get in the car! Let's go to camp!"

Alili said hello, opened the car door himself, and invited the four strange mason uncles into the car.

"This place has really changed a lot," Wei Ran said with emotion after getting into the car.

"We've been busy since March and now we've got these results"

After taking over the driver's job, Aliri introduced, "In the first two months, all our energy was devoted to this airport. After repairing the abandoned tower and runway, it took another month. In time, the road between here and the mine was paved with the slag left in the mine, and by the way, the mine itself was repaired according to Aurora's request."

Misha, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, took the topic and continued, "From June, we started to build the hunter's cabin.

Of course, before that, according to Aurora's plan, we reached cooperation intentions with various local industrial and mining enterprises in Inta, and it was with their support that we obtained a large amount of free raw materials and construction machinery , and two free aprons at Inta Airport. "

"In the past two months, we have simultaneously built 68 wooden houses around the mine. We have hoarded enough coking coal to burn for a winter. By the way, we have surrounded a large area with barbed wire, which is safe enough, so we don't have to worry about being approached by brown bears or wolves. wall."

Under the introduction of Alili and Misha, the fully loaded van also drove out of the airport smoothly along the flat road paved with slag, passing through the welcome signs in various languages ​​every now and then. forest, and finally stopped outside a five-meter-wide barbed wire gate.

"It's here"

Alili turned off the car, and continued to introduce while pushing the door open, "According to Aurora's regulations, cars are not allowed to drive in from behind this barbed wire gate."

"What kind of rule is this?" Wei Ran looked at Sui Sui who was sitting beside him in confusion.

"Of course it is to protect the original ecological environment as much as possible." Sui Sui explained as a matter of course, put on the sun hat with gauze again and opened the car door.

Seeing this, Wei Ran simply suppressed the doubts in his heart, and called the four uncles in the carriage to get off.

"We have surrounded a land of nearly 5 hectares with double-layer barbed wire"

Misha caressed the barbed wire painted with green paint and said painfully, "This is also the largest expenditure besides the purchase of aircraft."

"But these two barbed wire fences ensure that this 5-hectare land does not have to worry about the danger from wild animals."

Sui Sui changed into Chinese and said to Wei Ran, "The money you gave me before was basically spent on these two barbed wire fences."

"Are you sure this thing can keep out wild animals?" Wei Ran asked noncommittally, the two barbed wire fences couldn't be seen at a glance, and the cost would not be low.

"At least give us enough time to react"

Sui Sui pointed to the top of the barbed wire fence, "When the funds are abundant in the future, maybe there will be a circle of lights on it, and it will be safer then."

"Let's go inside and have a look!"

Alili greeted everyone to pass through the barbed wire gate, stepped on the path paved with slag, and continued to introduce, "The 68 wooden houses are all distributed here, and they are all provided by hunters from Inta. The wood was built by myself, and it met our requirements."

"In turn, we pay them a lease fee every spring."

"But in other words, we now have 68 experienced hunters who can provide services to tourists here, don't we?"

"Indeed it is"

Misha didn't deny Suisui's words, but just teased herself with a weird expression, "Because of the existence of these hunters, we are now almost the strongest armed force in the entire Inta.

And as you predicted, since we launched the Inta Hunter Patrol, both poaching and poaching of mammoth ivory has decreased by a large percentage compared to last year, for which we also received a sum last month. Bonuses awarded by Inta officials. "

"Donated?" Sui Sui asked nonchalantly.

Alili stopped in front of a completed wooden house and said, "All were donated to the former injured and disabled rangers as you said."

"That's good!" Sui Sui nodded with satisfaction, "From now on, we will also donate part of our annual income to those disabled forest rangers."

"You don't explain?" Wei Ran, who had been listening just now, couldn't help asking.

"What is there to explain"

Sui Sui said as a matter of course while spraying mosquito repellent on her body, "Although I haven't dug up any mammoth ivory or poached any animals, if nothing else happens, even if that kind of thing is not done by local hunters, it is the same They're inseparable."

"so what?"

"What's the reason for this?"

Sui Sui pointed the nozzle of the spray at Wei Ran, and explained while helping to spray the mosquito repellent, "So talk to the authorities and the local companies, and ask them to pay some protection fees every year, so that they don't have to worry about it. The facilities and equipment in the wild are damaged by those who poach and dig, and there is no need to worry about their employees being injured in order to protect the equipment.

With the protection fee they provided, those hunters had a decent job with a decent salary after joining our patrol team. "

Sui Sui paused at this point, motioned Wei Ran to turn around, and then continued to spray mosquito repellent while saying, "And as long as you give out some bonuses, you can kill two people and kill three people in those hunter groups. Anyway, if you don't report it, there are plenty Hunters report for rewards. As long as there is one three or five times, all poachers and poachers will be honest.

In addition, with the help of Misha's father's relationship with the police chief, we also reached a cooperation with the local hotel and hotel.Anyone with a shotgun or excavation equipment would be followed by a hunter.In this way, outsiders don't have to worry about it. "

Misha smiled and said, "Aurora's trick is very effective. All the outsiders we caught poaching and digging here in July are basically clues provided by those hotels and inns."

"I just said it worked? You didn't believe it at the time."

While Sui Sui was speaking, the spray bottle in his hand was already aimed at the four mason uncles who could not understand Russian at all, "With the help of anti-poaching and anti-poaching, we not only stabilized the local security in Inta with the help of those hunters, The backbone of the army, but also got a good reputation.

The most important thing is that when our tourists come in winter, those trained hunters are the best guides. No, no, no, it should be said that they are the best and free guides. "

"Can this be free too?" Wei Ran asked in disbelief.

"Do you think anyone can build these wooden houses around here?"

Sui Suo said proudly with his arms akimbo, "Only those Inta hunters who have joined our Patrol Team are eligible to come to build wooden houses to earn rent. We will send tourists here and they will get the rent. Shouldn't we provide free Guided hunting service?
They are not willing, and some hunters who want to make money are willing.Even if you don't want to, you can assign it as a job for the patrol team. "

"Zhou Bapi has to call you daddy when he sees you." Wei Ran sighed dully, "Where did you learn all your foolishness?"

"Of course I learned it in college, and my mother and your mother helped me figure it out."

The expression on Sui Sui's small face became more and more smug, and she said as if on a whim, "Misha, tell our hunters that as long as one of them can learn basic Chinese communication, the rent of the wooden house will be increased by 5%. And in the future, tourists from China will be more willing to live in their wooden houses, and they will get more tips than others.

In addition, next spring we will select three gold medal tour guides, each with a prize of [-] US dollars. "

"Is there any more?" Misha asked with a numb face, and even took out a small plastic notebook to record while speaking.

"The first to learn and pass the speaking test will have an additional bonus of [-] U.S. dollars."

Sui Sui repressed the key again, "If those hunters think they can't learn it, it's okay to let their wives or children learn it. Anyway, the wooden house is their own, and no tourists are willing to live in it. It's our turn to worry."
