Before starting to immediately make a reservation, yes, the appearance of the city is a game convention, yes, the main thing is that it would be beautiful, yes, to match the name. But there is one "but". I overshadowed, so I can. And in general it will be nothing else as a result of a LNGS car operating at low speeds.
Start with determining the location
From the game, we know that the entrance to the rapchur is a lighthouse, inside which there is a bathysfer. Which is important from this. Yes, the presence of a lighthouse. Therefore, the entrance to the utopia Andrew Ryan is located somewhere not far from the mainland. Why? Because the presence of a lighthouse in the middle of the ocean would begin to raise questions, while a broken lighthouse, which has turned into private property (here is another question of how exactly he did it, but this question is not for me) can cause less questions. In addition to the appearance of questions, it is also worth considering that a lighthouse of this type, namely the tower, cannot be installed on a floating platform, therefore there should be some kind of continental breed at the base. Either it should be the already formed island system*, like a Japanese archipelago, antilon, Aleutian, Kuril, Philippine and other, spray islands. In general, this is a separate topic for the conversation that I can be erased when I write about Tomb Raider .
Let’s get back to the lighthouses. And so, based on the design of the structure, we conclude that it is not far from the mainland or island. Understanded. Next, we go down to the rape. The main guideline for the search is the volcano, which Atlant was so kind to use as a battery for an entire city (fire, by the way).
And here the question arises. Either Ken Levin lied that the plane crashed somewhere above the Atlantic, or Andrew Ryan built a huge floating platform for his lighthouse, which does not allow all kinds of weather conditions to overturn it, with anchors departing 2-3 kilometers inland. And not just anchors, but full -fledged piles, because the structure of the structure does not have a position management system. In this regard, I conclude that Rapchur is somewhere near Grenada in the Caribbean Sea. Most likely in the area of the Grenadian basin.
And here is a surprise, next to this basin, on its eastern slope there is. *drum fraction*. VOLCANO! It is called Kick-Em-Jenni, or they stuck them, Jenny, who deigned. Volcano active, 1.3 km above the bottom. Often it caused earthquakes and subsequently tsunami.
And so, we found a place suitable for the construction of an underwater metropolis. But not somewhere in the declared Atlantic, but in a completely specific Caribbean, near the island of Grenada. And the depth is suitable, so that solar light would practically not be visible from the windows of the city.
So what’s wrong?
And not much that, starting with the fact that at such a depth there cannot be living organisms such as coral, sharks and different paradise fish and ending with the fact that the water is still not a static object. Why? Well, because these animals are still not fools and usually live on the shelf* or in the area of the mainland slope*, where sunlight is still breaking through and the main sea life is concentrated, well, there is more oxygen there, where without it without it. As for static, the movement of water masses has not been canceled, both convection (vertical) and "longitudinal", let’s call it so.
To build entire skyscrapers, like in New York, in the style of Art Deco, is an unconditionally ambitious and beautiful idea. Maxim Milyazev, in his video, as part of the “Common Meaning” section, went through this aspect, but focused on the main thing for a person has a long stay under water and cited some underwater cities as an example. Which were located no deeper than 300 meters. And rape already at the bottom of the Atlantic, and in fact at the bottom of the Caribbean, and this is about 2-3 kilometers in a depth of 2-3.
But let’s say, Ryan managed to build a city for thousands of people at the bottom of the sea, for example he settled them there, supplied all with ultraviolet lamps, to simulate sunlight, learned to cut fish for production and make huge plantations of oranges from sea water and landed from sea water. Suppose.
But in this case, Rapchur would not look like shown in the game. Yes, I know, game convention. For the simple reason that the skyscraper would not withstand the strength of the Caribbean current and collapsed. Which happened in Bioshock 2, after 10 years. Also, due to the close location of skyscrapers to each other, the effect of an aerodynamic pipe would be created, as in the Moscow City or, in the case of convection movements of water masses, as in Lids at Bridgewater Place, where, due to the miscalculation of engineers, the speed of wind could reach 72 km/h/h. Because of this, even large daddy would wash off what to talk about glass crossings.
The vertical circulation of the waters of the world ocean is the descending and rising movement of the large masses of the water of the world., caused by a change in its density and driven out phenomena.
Studopedics
Convection on the example of a teapot. The difference is that in the ocean convection occurs due to the density and salinity of water.
Also, uneven terrain can, and even cause https://jackpotx.co.uk/login/ vortices in the water column, the radius of which can reach several hundred kilometers. And there are twist there, since the city is really in the hollow, which we know not only from the introductory screensaver, but also from DLC Bioshock Infinite: Burial at Sea .
And how exactly should rapechur look like? Well, something like that.
In favor of this form of the city, the fact that at a depth of 3 kilometers the pressure will be 30282 kN/m² also indicates, and the dome shape of the arch can withstand greater pressure, we know from Galileo.
And the course of such a design would make about nothing. In view of its streamlines. Yes, not pompous, but not very beautiful, although it is how to see. But practical and quite durable.
Conclusion
I hope with this text I have not destroyed the Bioshock universe for you and rape, in which I would like to be so, but only until 1959. Because Ken Levin created an excellent atmospheric delight that he wants to study, and which was beautiful in Burial at Sea, precisely in that short moment the DLC began. Thank you for your attention.
Addition
The Ostroding System – chains of volcanic islands above the subduction zone arising where one oceanic plate is immersed in another.
Shelf – the aligned area of the underwater outskirts of the mainland
The mainland slope is the transitional inclined area of the underwater outskirts of the continent, located between the shelf and the foot of the continent, bordering the ocean bed.
The best comments
Somehow stuffiness for the sake of stuffiness.
The lighthouse in the middle of the ocean would not surprise anyone for one simple reason: no one will see it there, this is not a hefty island 50×50 km, but just a stick sticking out of the water. And as far as I remember the descent itself – under the lighthouse – the void (well T.e. Rapchur). And in general, somehow the complexity and gigantism of the task “build a hefty city with skyscrapers at a depth” cannot be compared with “put one beacon on the surface” (by the way, there could be several)
And Rapchur, as an idea and metaphor, could not look like a flying saucer under water, because a plate is practical. And Rapchur is not about practicality.
In general, generally does not really understand the meaning of digging to artistic conventions in works of art, when this does not give any interesting results. Like if, according to meager descriptions of the location of Rapchura, one could really find an interesting place in which the city could be located. Or there are still some similar things.
Wildly apologize, of course, but the first half of your blog does not make sense. After all, in the game itself there is a museum of the history of delight and there are clear clear coordinates of the city there.
You would at least go to Vicki before writing all this.
Well, you said, but you can somehow be interesting to shower.
And then dushnina levels “cars do not explode after two hits into the windshield!»Type, it does not look like“ an interesting minute of interesting facts ”, because there are no interesting facts; not a cry of the soul, because … but what is there to scream, from what? Yes, and crowds of people who went with posters "Rapchur – a real city, we want skyscrapers under water!"It is somehow not observed so that it is an appeal to them in the spirit:“ Courage, fools!"
I’ll also have a per sag here and say that the author has a good syllable, but grammatical and syntactic errors are pain, because of which it was difficult for me to read further a pair of paragraphs. For example, "not far" – together.
And in some places-inappropriate use of words, overloading phrases. This is already visible in the title. The author decided to cross the phrases “by and large” and “in a good way”, creating a mutant cleaner than the splaskers from Rapchur) you either “take away the account” in the title, or replace the word “good”) * a joke about a cross and panties * not to mention the fact that you need to highlight.
The rest of the mistakes to catch laziness, I’m not a corrector, I am too lazy to do this for free, but if you have someone to give such texts for verification – it is better to do it before the publication)
Yes damn it. Three hours of life in the pipe.
But yes, I recognize the jamb, screwed up.
Duck, I said from the very beginning and said.
Before starting to immediately make a reservation, yes, the appearance of the city is a game convention, yes, the main thing is that it would be beautiful, yes, to match the name. But there is one "but". I overshadowed, so I can.
I never liked the books when the footnote does not go on the same page, but at the end of the book. It seems very inconvenient to me. This is what I need … And this is definitely a good idea to leave footnotes at the end of the blog?
Well, dictionaries usually stand at the end of the books, I did this of these reasons. Yes, I did not break the alphabet, I repent
