Chapter 148 [147] Iron Age

The day after Judgment Day.

Zhou Li'an took Xuenv back to the present world and rested for a day. The young man was in good health, but it was still exhausting to sacrifice and praise overnight.

While she was sleeping, Zhou Li'an contacted various supplies and equipment.

—Old-fashioned roller presses.

Of course, the idea of ​​Equilibrium News is not a flash of light, and social apps are the most user-friendly in the world.

And the social attribute itself will make two groups and individuals bond with each other.

The cities of Equilibrium are scattered, and their cohesion comes from the illumination of our Lord Equilibrium.

Now it seems that there is no need to worry about the loosening of the Kingdom of God system.

But when the population and tribal branches of the Kingdom of God skyrocketed, rifts would arise.

In the present world, different provinces still discriminate against each other in a country.

Not to mention the countries that believe in a certain Jesus church also go their own way.

Then in addition to the blessing of theocracy, the interaction between the people is the best way to increase cohesion.

They don't see each other on weekdays, but they can learn about the movements of other cities from the news.

On the 9th, Owens Valley, the big city, had a bumper harvest of salt, which was sent to various cities, so that the people could realize the freedom of salt.

The No. 6 big city, Sparks, smelted iron and steel, made iron pots and agricultural tools, and delivered them to the Ministry of Agriculture and Living in each city.

And so on, the great unity life mode is to help each other, and the cities complement each other, and contribute to the development of the Kingdom of God together.

Then there are anecdotes spread in various cities.

Life in other cities, which are obviously tens or hundreds of kilometers away, seems to be in front of you, which makes people curious and yearning.

Old-fashioned roller presses still print with movable type.

The paper is placed on the cylinder and rolled over the typesetting lead plate to complete the printing.

The printing presses are ordered in advance, and there are always manual hobbyists who like this kind of old-fashioned handmade mechanical products.

Large quantities of blocks of type were also ordered.

This is a sample, and the distribution is balanced. It is the miraculous creation of our lord. The monks of the law can use this as a reference for imitation.

Printing of pictures and photos does not yet have technical capabilities, film printing involves optics, and the materials used involve chemistry.

It's not difficult.

It's just that the monks of the law have not yet fully grown up. Even though there are detailed knowledge points and steps in the code volume on the Temple Mount, it still needs a process of learning and experimentation.

Zhou Li'an is not in a hurry about this, all teenagers need to be educated and enlightened.

At present, more than 300 Temple Mount monks have completed the disciplines of various subjects.

There are more than [-] middle-level monks who are civilized for the balance of culture and education.

Like a wine tower, the sweet spring of fine wine flows down from above, filling the empty cups layer by layer, and so on.

……

The next day.

One master and one servant came to balance.

Tiaoyu is also qualified to study on the Temple Mount, but most of them copy books and take them to Owens Valley to study.

The three bullshits were imprisoned, and the previously appointed project team leader was handed over to him.

Staff selection is over.

Gunpowder, printing, and steel are divided into three groups, with 20 people in each group, all of whom are outstanding in the practice of law.

They are the core of the research team, and they are regarded as teachers. In addition, 100 apprentices are assigned, one of whom is in charge of 1 intermediate monks, to complete the experimental project together. The follow-up technology is mature and easy to spread.

"There are 40 people in the gunpowder and steel teams. We will set off for the No. 6 city immediately. We will complete the material preparation first and wait for our lord to come."

"The printing team will go to the No. 2 big city and select other members of the team at the No. 2 Equilibrium Academy."

The snow girl issued a decree, and each group immediately set off in a carriage, carrying the materials copied on the Temple Mount.

After they left, the elders were obsequious, and they didn't quite understand the concept of "balanced news" given by our lord.

Zhou Li'an originally intended for Xue Nu to take the lead, but he had a day off yesterday and was unable to attend the meeting.

Three people in bullshit were imprisoned, and the available talents were in an instant emergency.

This is also the purpose of setting up various research groups, so that the law monks can apply what they have learned as soon as possible, and broaden their thinking horizons during the experiment.

Zhou Li'an stopped asking questions and gave clear instructions, "The report on the affairs of each city is mainly based on the summary reports of the Elder's Hall and Balance College in each city. In addition, two 'news reporters' will be selected from the colleges in each city. Visit the city, visit and collect the people's life."

"Such as the needs, expectations, and difficulties of the people, they can all be recorded and reported. This is the meaning of 'reporter'."

"Every half a month, journalists in each city rotate positions, and re-elect the position of 'journalist' every three months."

Balanced faith is firm, and there is Judgment Day the night before, but he is not worried about someone daring to deceive our Lord, the true God.

However, the rotation system is to pave the way for the future management system of the Kingdom of God.

The redundant Zhou Li'an did not mention it again.

For new things, give some open thinking and let them explore by themselves.

The reporters in each city rotated and had a 3-month rotation, which was also to allow the earliest monks of the law to increase their knowledge and experience the life of different cities and tribes.

Subsequently.

Zhou Li'an recruited Zhou Weiguo's students and delivered the edited and copied videos of Judgment Day. One is the scene of Judgment Day, and the other is naturally the prosperity of the Aztec City-State Alliance and the coming of God's punishment.

The video will be taken to each city and will be played in rotation.

In fact, after Judgment Day, relevant news has spread throughout the cities.

The Lord God was furious and sent down an oracle.

Those who abandon and stay away from balance will eventually encounter unknown and disaster.

And this is the last mercy of our Lord to the world.

The cities were already shaking, and the sacrificial ceremonies were spontaneously started, praying and praising devoutly, and now there are these two video rotations, which will greatly enhance the cohesion.

Finally, Zhou Li'an and Xue Nu came to the place where the three of them were imprisoned.

The three empty houses are assembled in a three-legged tripod, and the central point can be used by three people to discuss the practice of the law.

The periphery is surrounded by high walls, and of course there is a hollow fence in the middle.

One master and one servant went, the elders still wanted to follow, but Zhou Li'an waved them away and strictly prohibited outsiders from visiting.

Water and daily necessities were delivered by Temple Mount guards every three days.

They need to dig urinals next to their houses, build sweat rooms, and keep themselves clean.

At the same time, you can leave a note in the small window for material handover, and ask the Temple Mount monks to be responsible for copying the secret scroll and sending it over.

It seems that this kind of imprisonment has a good time.

They are all children who have come through hard times, and their life skills are all full.

But the important thing is that "freedom is limited", no outsiders are seen, the only world I can see is the narrow sky on the high wall, and after the hut is built, the small courtyard is full of feces and urine.

And now everyone knows that the three of them need to break through the high-level top-level of various scientific laws within 2 years.

If it cannot be completed, it will be sentenced to eternal annihilation.

The people all know that the law is difficult to practice.

But in fact, only Temple Mount monks understand that the laws of each subject are complicated and interrelated, and the difficulty of practice is by no means summed up by ordinary people as "difficult".

During the two-year training period, almost no one dared to say that they could complete the breakthrough of the high-level top-rank realm.

Once the shackles are reached, stagnant; or slackened by the anguish of imprisonment, the divine wrath of our lord is annihilated, will come! !
And in fact.

The people only see one side.

Only Zhou Li'an knows that the most painful thing is the psychological torture of imprisonment.

There is an annihilation chasing after him.

Under the double pressure, it is easy to have a nervous breakdown.

You know, this is a primitive society without modern facilities.

Every day after sunset, it is declared the end of the day. Even if the three of them want to study, they have no way to do it. They can only fall into the dead night.

Zhou Li'an took Xue Nu into the courtyard of cow dung.

I saw him with a disheveled face, digging a latrine with a hoe, while calling to the other two courtyards to exchange ideas.

On the surface, it seems that the little days are going well?

But that's just the first day.

The courtyard smelled bad, filled with the smoky smell of burning plant ash.

The reason is that the high walls of the prison were built overnight.

The inside is woven into a sleeve skeleton with branches, and the inside and outside are filled with clay and yellow mud. Each layer needs to be burned with firewood to remove water and strengthen the wall.

This fire burned continuously for a day and a night.

Dozens of craftsmen worked together to complete the three-meter-high deep wall.

Seeing all these details, Xue Nu frowned slightly.

It would be a lie to say that I am not sad.

After the coming of our Lord, and the punishment of sins in the Tushi Valley, the cow dung has been living in peace and joy...

Even after five years of conquest after growing up, they are still treated like the leader of the war group, with plenty of food and drink, and disciples to serve.

Compared with today, the gap is very obvious.

Xuenv knows the truth that "it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality".

A master and a servant stopped for a long time.

After working hard for a long time, the bullshit wanted to rest, only to suddenly find my lord and witch behind him.

"My lord is above, praise you, praise balance..."

"Praise be to you too, Servant of the Great God, Witch."

He proclaimed and bowed down.

When the two places heard the sound, they also gathered at the high wall window in the center of the three huts.

The wall was hollowed out, and two small narrow windows were opened to facilitate the communication between the three, and they could only see half of each other's faces.

So, the two also hurriedly bowed down, only to hear the sound of praise floating over.

Zhou Li'an didn't speak.

Xue Nu said: "It took the three of you a long time to dig the latrine, when will you start to practice the law? If you are so slack, you will only be annihilated after two years."

The bullshit shivered, and didn't make any excuses, just said: "My lord, Wu, the three of us will not slack off, hurry up to complete the construction of the toilet and sweat room, and then devote ourselves to the practice of the law..."

Xuenv still has to teach her a lesson.

Zhou Li'an shook his head and stopped her.

He stepped forward and showed a smile: "Gunpowder, steel and printing research groups have all been established..."

When Bullshit heard it, his expression suddenly became lonely.

Zhou Li'an continued: "I will send the experimental research reports of each group. Although you can't participate in it, you can know the experimental process. After you practice higher-level rules, you can actually make calculations. , Check for gaps and make up for gaps."

Hearing this, Niu Shi was overjoyed, and the three followed suit, "Praise my Lord, praise your mercy."

"However..." Zhou Li'an changed the subject, "If you are obsessed with this, you will inevitably slack off in the practice of the law. If you fail the two-year test, you will know the consequences. Which is more important and which is less important. You are sure in your heart, so I won't say much gone."

"I only hope that after two years, you will be born in Nirvana."

At this point, the bullshit looked solemn again.

Xue Nu took a deep breath, seeing her younger brother's embarrassment, she couldn't bear to continue reprimanding her, and changed her words: "Bullshit, you are the elder brother of the three, so you have to take care of them!"

"Father and mother both have the glory of our lord, so you don't need to worry too much. If you settle down in the practice of the law, you will be saved in the future. Only then can you continue to follow and serve the knees of our lord balance, and make contributions and glory!"

The three should be praises.

Zhou Li'an and Xue Nu didn't stay for long.

Board the Balanced Hallows.

First go to the No. 10 city of Palm Springs for inspection.

The construction of the new city mostly provides support for the No. 8 city of Los Angeles. Although the road has not been leveled, the traces of the road have been left by the ox carts and horse-drawn carts that have been transported between the two cities.

The situation is the same as in other cities, with frequent exchanges, and beef cattle hunted in the north will be sent to the south.

In the south, take Fresno as an example, after the endless rice fields are harvested, the rice will be dried and sent to the cities.

Around 3 pm.

One master and one servant went north again and came to the No. 2 big city Sacramento.

The "printing research team" that set off early in the morning has arrived, and this place is only 40 kilometers away from the main city of Balance.

After arriving, they recruited disciples at the Equilibrium Academy in the city, forming 100 apprentices.

Our Lord has come, the elders and leaders of No. 2 Great City worship.

Therefore, Zhou Li'an blessed in front of everyone, causing the creation named 'Printing Machine' to appear.

Printing teams are not just for printing jobs.

The imitation of the printing machine still needs technical interactive support after the steel team's technology matures.

Now the main task is paper making and ink modulation.

Making paper requires a lot of water and wood.

There is no shortage of lumber in California.

As for water... that's why Zhou Li'an transferred the printing research team to No. 2 big city.

Sacramento has abundant water system, and the river runs through the San Francisco Bay.

The polluted wastewater from papermaking ends up in the sea.

The pollution problem cannot be solved. It is only considered after climbing the technology tree. Choose running water as much as possible. On the one hand, consider papermaking water and sewage discharge.

On the one hand, hydraulic waterwheels can be used to provide motor power and increase paper production.

Industry Fuze is to terminate the contract manpower.

Zhou Li'an didn't want to let the precious monks of the law rinse the wood pulp by hand with a sieve.

All the papermaking methods and scientific knowledge are written in the dense volume. What principles are used and what substances are added are very clear.

They just need to follow the steps to complete.

If you need to smelt mineral chemicals for rinsing, you can contact No. 6 City Equilibrium Institute to provide support, and the mining area business has been managed by them.

Each group studied together and made progress together.

When the printing machine landed, Zhou Li'an led the monks in the law to practice the cover-up. First, they printed with ready-made paper and ink, and spliced ​​movable type for typesetting, and asked a special person to record in detail.

Then, the location of the factory is determined.

When night comes.

Zhou Li'an ordered them to discuss and come up with a plan for building a factory.

Relevant knowledge volumes have been written, and what we need to do now is how to realize the knowledge and apply what we have learned.

China and the United States have been exploring for several months, and these law monks have not slackened.

The researchers selected by each group are people who have been in contact with the relevant knowledge.

Because Zhou Li'an didn't give a plan, let them learn what to learn first, and there are always people who are partial to a certain aspect of knowledge in advance.

Of course, Zhou Li'an does not expect them to come up with a detailed and complete proposal at one time. This is just a learning process of expanding their thinking and mastering the application of knowledge.

8 pm.

A master and a servant flew to the No. 6 city again, and held a planning meeting for the gunpowder and steel team overnight.

The purpose of the former experiment is the simplest...

fry!
The ratio of the three substances, the formation of the black powder is the first step to success; the follow-up is based on the ratio in the dense volume to complete the development of the sweet gunpowder.

It's almost as good as having a hand.

And after the appearance of gunpowder, it has been able to bring practical use.

Pair with the Iron Squad to create mines, bombs, and more.

Deeper research is the extraction of various chemical substances, starting from picric acid, to nitroglycerin, and then to the exploration of TNT and RDX.

Familiarity with chemical laws in the research process can extend various industries and cover chemicals to various industrial projects.

Therefore, the gunpowder group is the easiest to see results and the most fulfilling.

As for the Steel Team...

"Are you clear about the blast furnace ironmaking? Tomorrow, we will start digging the earth. First, we will build a blast furnace. In addition to 100 apprentices, we will recruit craftsmen from the city to popularize the blast furnace on a large scale, and we will be able to create pots and weapons!"

Well, not to mention that our Lord balances and blesses creation.

America is finally entering the Iron Age.

The meetings of the two groups lasted until 1:[-] in the morning, thanks to the light given by the battery "energy-saving lamps" created by our Lord.

So far, Zhou Li'an and Xuenv are exhausted.

Leave after people kowtow.

Xue Nu said: "Master, Xue Nu will take a bath with you? Using the jacuzzi will definitely relieve your fatigue."

However, Xuenv didn't see the echo for a long time, and then she looked up and found that my lord had her eyes closed, with a serious expression on her face.

"Owner?"

Zhou Li'an didn't open his eyes, and said: "Be safe and don't be impatient, the sin king of the Aztecs seems to be on fire!"
