Japan has one of the most impressive flood prevention systems in the world. Now they want to teach it in Minecraft
You lose the account of all possible uses that Minecraft has. The Mojang game is a comfort zone for millions of online players. An inexhaustible source of creativity that has served as an example even in schools and even a kind of tool at the service of institutions.
The Japan government wanted to take advantage of all thisand now he wants to look before the Minecraft players the good functioning of the country when avoiding floods. As reported in Automaton, they have done so thanks to a huge and free map created by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Tourism and can be downloaded from the official website. Its purpose is mostly instructive but has some interactive details, such as maneuvering gates to see the system in operation.
This initiative is not Baladí, the flood prevention system in Japan is, in addition to visually impressive (the BBC called to the tokyo “underground cathedral”) praised internationally. It is a network of massive tunnels that runs through the entire metropolitan area of the cities. In Tokyo the project took 14 years to buildand entails 5 large tanks connected by 6 kilometers of tunnels that end in a silo the size of two soccer fields and capable of storing 670 thousand cubic meters.
It is a massive scale that can be seen in the first person on the Minecraft map. The map contains not only a replica of the facilities, but the possibility of interacting with NPCs that give real data on how it works or how many times it has been activated throughout history. Regardless of the educational value, it is surprising to see the care in a construction that only for its presentation video is impressive. Everything in perfect Japanese, yes.
By rocambolesco that seems, there are more initiatives similar to this from different countries. Russia also took advantage of last February to celebrate its war story during World War II, in what was a kind of interactive museum that was attended by Russian culture personalities.
