It happens like this... You bent down to cut a mushroom, straightened up, and that’s it... you’re already in a completely different place. And not in the Moscow region, but in general in some unknown mountains. Not fate, but just an anecdote: you came down from the mountains to get salt, and you were drafted into the army. To an alien war in an alien world, where there are no internal combustion engines and even airships fly on steam engines. It is under these conditions that Savva Kobchik, a student at the Timiryazev Agricultural Academy, has to survive. By local standards, an illiterate, untrained soldier with strange ideas.
