The Land-Cruisers


Ed Regis took us to a road which came from a garage under the Control Centre. Immediately, two land-cruisers approached us with no drivers!! A loudspeaker on wall said that no more than four people in each tour vehicle.

Regis said that they’ve got 30 of those land-cruisers and they ran on electricity. He said that they also got two petrol vehicles, -Jeeps- which they could use if they had to, and there were some maintenance trucks which they kept about 2 km away. The Jeeps and trucks went on separate roads.

After that, Gennaro, another scientist, and I got into the first land-cruisers and Regis got into the second with Lex and Tim. We could talk to the Control Room by using a radio link and we could talk to the other land-cruiser by a walkie-talkie.

“The computer in each vehicle gives full information about everything in the park and the sensors in the park tell the main computer in the Control Room where the land-cruisers are. Then the main computer tells the computers in the land-cruisers what to tell you” Regis went on.

The land-cruisers slowly started moving and the tour started.
