Writing about cities.




Writing about cities. 

When agriculture started to dominate people, the next level of this kind of advantage was that cities were formed. In the medieval period, cities were dirty and the narrow places, but the thing is that the cities were cleaner what people normally think. The cities were surrounded by the walls, and they were independent states. 

The farmland surrounded those cities, and the thing was that if somebody wanted to circle the city by using military power, that person must just occupy the farmland, and then the food was ended sooner or later. And that was one reason for the walls, what was build for protecting the city. The walls gave also the ability to control the supplies, which were brought to the city. 

People were of course scared almost dead, by telling stories about demons, what are controlling other cities, that they were not flee from their small world. Somebody believes that the tales about demons, what were control of other cities gave the background for the modern tales about alien bases, and in the medieval period, the cities were isolated from other lands. 

Life was easier in the cities, and one reason why cities became so popular was that the people could live there "incognito". There were no bandits in the cities, and that caused that life was safer. But of course, drunken people and street gangs caused troubles in the cities. 

And the city allowed to control people. The eavesdropping and other kinds of things were much easier in the cities than in some house in the forest. The spy could slip out of the house and escape to the middle of people. The thing, that interested the king was what was not told to him, and that's why that person needed a network of informers. 

In many medieval paintings, the parts city is painted blue. Another version is that the houses are yellow or red, which was the color of the king. Or people are wearing those colors. The reason for that was that in the city were many people, who were wanted to tell things for the king. And that's why some count must be careful what to say. 

Many people hated that man and the reason for that was that count gave sometimes very tough punishments. If count would say something bad about the king, there was a possibility, that somebody would tell that thing to majesty, who sends sheriffs and soldiers to arrest that poor man, who was so reckless.

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies?

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies? The simplest way to control zombies, which are made by using tetrodotoxin, which is called "zombie poison" is to use the automatic dispenser, which is normally used in diabetes treatment. In this case, the dispenser would be loaded by using tetrodotoxin. If the level of this poison is right, the person would be totally under the control of other people. And if the system cannot detect this poison there is a possibility to make the laboratory experiment when the staff will follow the decrease of the tetrodotoxin, and then the system can use a simple clock, which will inject poison to the body of a victim after a certain time. This would be an effective tool in the hands of military and counter-terror operators. Those zombies can be captured enemy operators, who will send back, and then they just kill their ex-partners. By using genetically engineered bacteria could be possible to create t...

The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like.

.     The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like. Above is the image of the nano-submarine. There is introduced an idea, that this kind of system would equip with living neurons, which makes it like some kind of artificial bug or mosquito. The idea is that the robot can take the nutrient by using the robot tube, which acts like a proboscis. The neurons can get nutrients and the rest of the machine can use small fuel cells or the energy to that system can deliver by using the radio waves. Futurologists are thinking about the ideas, what the hybridization of the neurons and machine would look like? Could the hyper-technical civilization look like the group of midget submarines? Those submarines might take nutrients for the neurons, what is living in them. The purpose of the midget submarines, which might be size less than a couple of millimeters would maximize the survivability of the neurons. One of the most intere...

Antimatter motor

Antimatter motor Antimatter would be an effective fuel for interstellar spacecraft Antimatter would be the most effective power source in the world. It will be the most suitable motor for interstellar spacecraft, but the problem is that thing is very reactive. And actually one of the biggest problems with this kind of motor is that the gram of antimatter would turn the entire planet to the molecular nebula. So this kind of motor can produce only outside of our solar system. Producing antimatter would need large particle accelerators, and that kind of systems might look like giant donuts, what is floating on the space. There are two ways to create the antimatter motor, one is to store the anti-ions in the magnetic bottle, where the pushing magnetic field will keep those ions away from the wall of the bottle, and then the antimatter would conduct to the water or some other particle. The huge explosion or annihilation reaction would send the rocket to a very high speed. The antimatt...
