Start North America 1400: nation building

Chapter 136 [135] Sino-US map development

The inspections of each city mainly focus on the 6th, 8th, 9th and No. 10 big cities to be built as the main inspection objects.

The No. 6 big city, Sparks, is the main mining output.

Now there are a large number of coal mines and limestone output, reserved for reserves, just wait for the breakthrough of the monks of the law of equilibrium, and start to build various factories.

In addition, Zhou Li'an delineated the location on the map and marked the precise coordinates to indicate a sulfur mine in Nevada.

Most of the sulfur mines in North America are concentrated in Wyoming. The coal mines and natural gas resources in this area rank first in the United States. There are geographical conditions for the production of sulfur mines, and there are many surface sulfur mine resources.

But now to pull sulfur in Wyoming, it needs to cross Nevada and Utah. There is no road through it, and even if there are horses and animals, it will not be able to form a transportation capacity.

A small amount of Nevada's output is enough to meet the basic needs, and even if the people are allowed to mine in central Nevada, it will be a long way, and it will take a lot of perseverance.

At the same time as the excavation of sulfur, other agricultural cities began to build "nitrate ponds" to carry out soil-based nitrate refining and cultivate nitrate soil.

On the one hand, it can provide fertility for the farmland, and on the other hand, it can use saltpeter to start making gunpowder.

Indigenous nitrate refining uses manure and plant ash to extract.

Just in line with the "public toilet" system in each city, there is a large amount of feces that can be extracted and poured into the nitrification tank for cultivation.

Saltpeter and sulfur are available, and finally white sugar is added to make Willie's huge "sweet gunpowder", which can be used for copper and iron ore mining.

With iron ore and large-scale iron and steel smelting, we dare to say that we have truly stepped into industry.

As for why not directly buy the gunpowder used to blast mountains and mine mines from the present world...

Teaching a man to fish is worse than giving him a fish.

The Temple Mount has all kinds of laws, and the monks of the laws, as the future of the equilibrium, must master various technologies from scratch.

It is not advisable to follow the scriptures, what Zhou Li'an wants to see is scientific practice.

There are no roads in the world. If people travel a lot, there will be roads.

What's more, the laws of the Temple Mount are complete, and the signpost of the future Guangming Avenue has already been established in front of everyone.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Li'an ordered cow dung to select talents and set up the "Balanced Gunpowder Research Group", which was the first scientific research project for Balanced.

Extract saltpeter, fertilizer, and synthesize gunpowder.

Bullshit is very interested in gunpowder, "My lord, cowshit is also willing to join the research team and contribute to the creation of the law!"

From his piercing eyes, it can be seen that he is not only curious, but also regards it as an honor.

The heart of faith in bullshit never needs to be doubted.

Xiaohua is also eager to try, she has good talent, but she is also a follower of bullshit, she will do what brother bullshit does.

Besides, the No. 6 main city is her basic set.

It seems that the power is still in the hands of the elders, but without her college and her disciples writing texts and submitting them to the true god of our lord, they would not even have the qualifications to communicate with our lord.

Of course, Xiaohua doesn't have that many thoughts of fighting for power and profit.

However, in the process of implementing the law, the change of rights is bound to be completed quietly.

Those who do not practice the law will be eliminated sooner or later.

No, climbing the mountain and other battle group leaders felt a sense of crisis, and Pidiandian began to practice.

This is what Zhou Li'an hopes to see. He has never subverted the power structure of restructuring, and he has played the role of moistening things silently.

The old man will pass away eventually, and sooner or later the new blood of balanced civilization will have the right to speak.

Zhou Li'an looked at the bullshit with a smile and said: "You can join the research team, but in the near future, I will go to the southern land, and Xuenv and Weiguo will accompany me..."

As soon as the words came out.

Cow dung gets tangled up.

He wants to do research and indulge in law practice, but as an aboriginal child, he is naturally warlike in his bones.

The second expedition is ahead, if you can personally experience the mountains and rivers of the southern land, it will be far more intuitive than reading a large atlas, and you can think about it more.

Bullshit is still silent.

Xuenv has become resentful towards this younger brother...

How can you be so stupid!
Do I need to think about it?
However, Xiaohua has a clever mind, and when she saw the witch's expression, she instantly became clear, and Yingying knelt down, "My lord, Xiaohua and Big Brother Niushi are willing to accompany you to serve you!"

"This is our glory, praise our Lord, praise Balance!"

Snow Goddess relaxed, seeing that the little flower became more and more pleasing to the eye.

Niu Shi also finally realized, and knelt down and bowed: "My lord, Niu Shi is willing to follow your side and listen to your teachings. If you can see the situation of the tribes in the southern land, you will be able to overcome the thorns and thorns in the future, and no one can look down upon you!"

Zhou Li'an was very interested in this scene and laughed: "This is not a multiple-choice question. The transportation of sulfur ore and the extraction of saltpeter will take time."

"When you come back from the south, you can lead the research team and open up a path for the creation of laws!"

The bullshit came to a sudden, only the sound of praise remained.

After leaving the big city on the 6th, everyone came to Owens Valley.

The big city No. 9 is a place for raising horses, so it needs to be paid attention to.

Today, countless farmlands have been reclaimed in the south of the valley, and the water from the lake can be brought in after the spring to grow rice.

On one side of the valley, there are thousands of horses galloping and abundant water and grass; on the other side, the people sweat and build a fertile soil, which can be a fairyland of paradise.

This is the balanced kingdom of joy.

But arriving at Los Angeles, the main city of No. 8, is a different scene. The city is built under the valley in the northwest, which seems quite arid.

This place is not the core area of ​​Los Angeles City in later generations, but is located on the northern edge.

There are two reasons. One is to rely on the support of the water system of the San Joaquin River to meet the water problem.

The second is to avoid the Los Angeles wetlands.

The existence of wetlands does not conflict with the arid climate.

The wetland area of ​​early Los Angeles occupied most of the existing area, and the valley was surrounded by mountains on three sides. Over the years, the valley water system turned this area into an alluvial plain.

There is no obstacle in the valley, and there are no rivers for drainage. When the rainy season comes, mountain torrents occur frequently, and eventually it turns into a wetland forest, which is a kingdom of wild animals.

There were also tribes of Miwok people in the early days, but the small-scale settlements lived scattered and were not affected by the flood.

But if you build a big city, you have to worry about flooding.

Moreover, the wetland water source cannot meet the needs of a large-scale concentrated population.

In this world, the rise of Los Angeles is all due to the construction of artificial canal water conservancy.

On the one hand, the diversion of water from the north to the south meets the needs of industry and domestic water. On the other hand, the waterways of California and Los Angeles relieve the impact of floods during the rainy season.

Even so, occasional floods have been recorded.

Balance is off to a good start.

Fighting against nature is time-consuming and laborious. It is better to avoid the edge temporarily, and wait for the influx of people from Central and South America, and some time for urban planning and development.

The big city will eventually expand.

The current positioning of the city is aimed at the oil resources in the area, and serves as the starting point for connecting Palm Springs "Bing Road".

When Zhou Li'an and others arrived.

The craftsmen and elders of the Hohokan people have been waiting for a long time.

They will start from No. 8 city with My Lord True God, and go to Palm Springs, the 10th largest city, for preliminary construction investigation.

Through the mountains of the Los Angeles Valley, you can see the Gobi Desert in Southern California.

Palm Springs is an oasis in the Colorado Desert, and this oasis is so small that it seems that it may be swallowed by the erosion of Huangshan Gobi at any time.

After sightseeing in Palm Springs in reality, it is hard to imagine how the contiguous resort fountain hotels and the endless green golf lawn grew out of a piece of Gobi.

However, because of the "transcript" of later generations, Zhou Li'an knew the possibility of building a city in a desert oasis.

He collected records of the water systems of Palm Springs in this world.

When the town was first developed, the waterways in California did not rise. At the end of the [-]th century, some manor owners built waterways and planted orchards here. Unexpectedly, they quickly developed into a large scale and expanded the oasis area.

At the beginning of the 20th century, many hotels opened and gradually evolved into tourist attractions.

In the delegation, there were native Californians who lived here earlier as guides, pointing out the basic water source.

Zhou Li'an also checked the information of the present world and told the Hohokan people where the water sources can be used. They can imitate the ancient waterways under the Phoenix City and weave a cobweb of water in Palm Springs to improve the environment and turn it into an oasis city.

Of course, the expansion of the oasis will take some time to develop, but as long as the water problem is solved, it is reasonable to build a small city with [-] people in advance as the starting point of the "military way".

With Palm Springs, there is the resource support to go east to Arizona.

Later generations of the United States did the same. They first developed the carriage road, and after the development of the railway, a station from Los Angeles to Arizona was established in Palm Springs.

2 month 15 day.

The affairs of the cities are in order.

Zhou Li'an took Snow Girl, Cow Shit, and Xiao Hua, and photographer Zhou Weiguo boarded the Balanced Sacred Vessel and flew into the sky.

Taking advantage of the trend, it circled over the cities again.

Fill a cup as much as you can, with a fanatical heart of faith, there is never too much.

Everyone's first stop is Phoenix, Arizona.

Zhou Li'an will take the route from Palm Springs to Phoenix City, and use the aerial camera of the plane to record the pictures along the way.

The system map is certainly detailed enough, but if it can be accompanied by image data, it will be more intuitive to present.

In the same way, this trip to China and the United States will also record the terrain conditions throughout the process.

It will then be used as military information, as the first strategic deployment study of Kinkou Military Academy.

Perhaps doing so is taking too much effort.

But Zhou Li'an's main purpose is to broaden the general's vision and thinking, and learn to use his brain...

Really want to talk about combat power.

3 balanced cavalry are enough to sweep the Aztecs who are still using stone tools.

The mobility of ironware, plate armor, and horses is simply a dimensionality reduction strike.

It is also because of the low-to-medium altitude aerial photography that the flight speed slows down.

Until the evening of the day of departure approached.

All the talents arrived at the great city of Hohokan.

The once-prosperous city-state has withered, and even though the balanced cavalry set out to conquer all the tribes, there must be some omissions.

However, there are general areas for the migration of indigenous tribes.

Like the tribes in the Great Lakes region, if the extreme climate of the Little Ice Age did not come, many tribes would not have rushed to the far south.

There were no newcomers in Hohokan City, so the city-state that appeared out of nowhere on the earth was like a ghost.

But ghosts are just a description of the environment.

Xue Nu, Niushi and others have no fear.

Facts have proved that there is only one true God, My Lord, Balanced in the world.

The Lord of Balance has come to the world.

Not to mention ghosts and monsters, even the totems and worships worshiped by various ministries are also heresy and false gods.

In balance, there is only joy and peace.

Fly a plane for a day.

Zhou Li'an was exhausted.

Although I didn't turn on time acceleration these days when visiting various cities, I have to return to the present world every night.

On the one hand, the balanced living conditions are too poor. There are island villas in this world, so why bother to embarrass yourself.

On the other hand, flying lessons are no slouch.

Zhou Li'an takes night classes every night, and seizes the time to acquire new driving skills.

It just so happens that there is plenty of time to explore China and the United States, squeeze the time to accumulate every night, and the map exploration is over, and it should be fully mastered.

The plane landed empty in the middle of Hohokan.

Several people chose a house to sleep in the open, and Zhou Li'an gave food, etc., and said: "You four have an early rest after dinner, and you have to hurry tomorrow!"

"Bullshit, Weiguo, even though there is a house as a barrier, you and the others must not relax your vigilance. There may be wild beasts running around in the big city. With the strength of the two of you, you only need to be careful and safe."

Bull Shit and Zhou Weiguo are very confident.

The master photographer also has to practice combat skills on weekdays. He was named by our Lord Balance, which meant to defend his family and country, but he has not been able to go out for a long time...

It just happened to be the main person in charge of the propaganda outlet.

Now he has the opportunity to experience the wilderness, he is very excited.

Not to mention bullshit, the young man has become a rough man, only in front of my lord and the witch, can he show childishness, on weekdays, he has the chilling temperament of a leader when facing disciples and warriors of various ministries, he has grown up fighting on the road of expedition up.

At this time, the will of our Lord came, and they immediately bowed down and accepted the order.

Inside the house, Xiaohua was laying a bed for the witch, and upon hearing the will of my lord, she immediately got out of bed and wanted to go out to worship.

Seeing Wu's face, he suddenly became embarrassed, and hurried out before her.

Seeing that my lord hadn't left yet, Xue Nu hurriedly knelt down and didn't speak, just raised her head and flickered with her big eyes.

"What happened to you?"

"Bullshit, Xiaohua and Weiguo are all here, why are you playing so petty?"

Zhou Li'an probably knew her psychology.

It's nothing more than keeping her in the tribe for the past few months, and Zhou Li'an is busy in this world, so it's not convenient to take her there.

When Niu Shi and Zhou Weiguo heard this, they quickly lowered their heads.

They don't know why, anyway, they feel that they can't watch at this moment.

Only Xiaohua stared secretly, and the corner of her eyes kept wandering about my lord and the witch, thoughtfully.

Xue Nu bowed her head, "My lord is above, master, Xue Nu dare not blaspheme the true God, she won't play petty temper..."

"It's just that Xue Nu must always follow my lord. She swore an oath in the god's residence that night. This is Xue Nu's mission and test."

oath?

Oh my lord alone?

Lonely hair!

I'm going to fly a plane, what's the matter with you?

However, it can be seen that Xue Nu faded away from her greenness and became more mature.

Calculate the time.

hiss...

18? ? ?
Zhou Li'an's heart skipped a beat, and of course he couldn't reveal anything on the surface, so he turned to look at the three of them, "Then the three of you stay behind!"

He didn't dare to say it, there were many mistakes in what he said, these little guys... especially Xiao Hua, with their dexterous minds, it was inevitable that they would feel something.

Whoosh.

After waving, Xue Nu disappeared, and Zhou Li'an's figure also disappeared.

inside the house.

The remaining three didn't dare to breathe, they just praised Balance together, and after waiting for a long time, they got up from kneeling.

Xiaohua turned from her thoughts, and couldn't help analyzing: "What kind of mission and test does the witch bear? My Lord must love the witch, and because of the kindness of the Lord, I don't want the witch to bear it!"

"The witch is extremely pious and is a role model for us, so I take the initiative to bear all this."

Zhou Weiguo nodded slightly when he heard this, "Just like when we were in the Modoc human land, it was the witch's sacrifice that appeased the wrath of our Lord, the True God, and balanced Glory's mercy to the world."

Niushi was very worried about his sister, and listening to the conversation between the two, his eyes felt wet, and he remembered the days when his sister was sentenced to sleep and exile by my lord.

If it weren't for a sister who carried forward the burden for the people of the balance, how could there be such a powerful and invincible balance of the kingdom of God in this world?

All the peoples of the earth have long been abandoned by the gods, without the enlightenment and guidance of the true god!
"Praise my lord, praise the balance, and praise my sister, Wu!"

The three of them gathered together again, and invited out the statue of the true god of our lord they were carrying, and began to praise the supreme one master and one servant devoutly.
