Equilibrium 12, Monday, May 5.

Weather forecast: XXX.

灾厄预警：8号大城（洛杉矶）东南95公里处于15日内有频繁轻微地动，地动等级3-5；子民应作规避防范，时时赞颂均衡。

Front page headlines:

The Temple Mount was established under the jurisdiction of the "Petroleum Research Group", and our Lord blessed the creation of mechanical artifacts, declaring that the balanced kingdom of God has steadily entered a new era of industrial development.

In the prison, the cow dung put down the newspaper, took a sip of cool water in a wooden cup, and left it alone. He has the temperament of an old man drinking tea and reading newspapers in later generations.

However, in today's equilibrium, anyone who is able to hold a newspaper and read it alone is a big shot.

He got up and sent the newspaper to the window in the center of the three small courtyards, "The new newspaper has arrived, I have read it!"

Dengdengdeng.

Xiaohua ran out briskly, grabbing the newspaper before Zhou Weiguo.

The first thing that attracted her must be the headlines on the front page. After reading the headlines and reading the details——

"Zhou Aijun has also become the research team leader?"

"I remember that he was quite stupid. Back then when Big Brother Bull Shit taught them the location method, he and Tiaoyu were the most stupid. They made mistakes in positioning many times and wasted a lot of time."

"Later, when I was on the migration road, I practiced the laws of mathematics. When I was about to arrive at the Kingdom of Balance, I was able to complete the positioning."

After hearing this, Niushi couldn't help falling into memories, "It was the beginning of the 6th year of Equilibrium. We went north from the big city of Hohokan to explore the supply points in the Great Salt Lake area."

"You were only 8 years old then!"

Thinking about the past, Niushi gave Xiaohua a helpless look, "Zhou Aijun is also older than you, how can you call him by his first name?"

Xiaohua became arrogant, "I call him brother, but he dares to answer! I only call brother cowshit brother."

On the side, Zhou Weiguo ate a meal of dog food, and couldn't hold back any longer, "Have you finished reading it, give it to me!"

Xiao Hua handed over the newspaper.

Zhou Weiguo felt the same emotion after reading it, but his focus was different from the two: "My Lord created the sacred artifact, it must be a unparalleled scene in the world, but unfortunately I can't be in charge of taking pictures, and I don't know how my disciples are doing."

"However, why did the oil team get the blessing of our Lord first? It stands to reason that the steel team should go first, right?"

"Over the No. 6 Dacheng mining area, there are already large-scale mechanical artifacts digging coal and iron ore. Isn't it for the smelting of steel?"

Xiaohua smiled: "So let you read more books, hold the "Art Principles Secret Book" all day long to take advantage of loopholes and get extra points, and then you will not pass the realm assessment..."

"Yeah." Xiao Hua's smile gradually disappeared, and she accidentally made the atmosphere heavy, so she changed her words: "Anyway, you have to work hard, Wei Guo."

Zhou Weiguo sighed: "The principles of art and photography have the same effect. I think I can get started, and I didn't let the 'five principles' practice. I just use art to relax during breaks."

"Weiguo, it's good that you know what's in your mind, and we won't pressure you anymore!" Niushi took a deep look at him and gave him encouragement.

"Let's talk about the analysis of our Lord's creation."

"Petroleum produces a variety of chemicals, as you learn the laws of chemistry, and petroleum is the most efficient fuel for powering an internal combustion engine."

"Therefore, only when oil is produced can the No. 6 Dacheng mining area receive material support. Otherwise, our people can only pray for the grace of our Lord. This is not the way to long-term development."

Xiaohua then added: "Fuel is the basic energy source. The by-products, such as plastics and rubber, are the most important. As well as the conversion of ammonia from natural gas to nitric acid, the gunpowder team has something to play with."

"Nitroglycerin is too dangerous, and the vibration will cause an explosion." Bull Shit said.

Xiao Hua said with an appearance of concentrating on academics: "Nitroglycerin is not just for engineering purposes. My Lord has a word, and true knowledge comes from practice. Of course, we monks will explore and experiment step by step to perfect the realm of laws."

"And what I value is nitric acid and sulfuric acid added to toluene, which can be refined to make 'yellow crystalline explosives.'"

"Its blasting power is 5 times that of the existing granule black powder, whether it is for engineering or military use, it is a good product!"

"Besides, I value nitrocellulose more."

"I have recently fully learned the concept of Guncraft Creation."

"Granular gunpowder as a percussion powder will produce smoke and dust residue, pollute the barrel, and cause clogging of the rifling. Of course, the manufacturing process of the rifling needs more research by the steel team..."

"However, under long-term pollution of the rifled barrel, it will cause steel corrosion, leading to the risk of bombing."

"The nitrocellulose can achieve smokeless combustion, avoid the pollution caused by the explosion of black powder, and ensure its sufficient driving force for explosion."

"This is the most suitable filling for the triggering drug, and considering the economic cost, the cost of mass production is extremely low."

On the side, Zhou Weiguo was sluggish as usual, like reading a heavenly book.

Unexpectedly, Niushi showed the same expression this time, and felt ashamed of his ignorance in front of Xiaohua, his cheeks flushed, but finally he asked humbly: "I know nitrocellulose, what is nitrocellulose?"

At this moment, Xiaohua was also confused, she opened her mouth slightly to show her surprise, and asked in disbelief, "Mianhua, brother cowshit, don't you know?"

"It is mentioned in the biological law that it is a plant fiber. A better understanding can be compared with the clothes woven by the bark and rushes we use, but cotton is more fluffy and warm."

"The sinners in the south of the earth have already used cotton, but they lack the cultivation technology in the biological law."

"The nitrocellulose made of nitrocellulose is the best bullet filler, and of course its textile benefits are also the best."

America without cotton?

Was it brought by the colonists?

In fact, there are cotton varieties all over the world. The colonists did bring the "upland cotton" known to later generations, and planted it widely and opened plantations.

At one time, there were more than 80 slaves who helped grow cotton.

But 'upland cotton' is only one of the varieties of cotton, and its economic value is higher than that of native American cotton.

For example, the Aztecs and Incas have a history of adding cotton fibers to make clothes.

When Xiaohua's voice fell.

Niu Shi closed his eyes and meditated, and finally got an impression, "I really want to see it in the secret volume of the book, but now you bring it up, I seem to have a vague impression."

Xiaohua was not proud of this, but relieved, "Brother Shit is not very impressed, probably because the book does not point out the use value of cotton in depth, so it's not that Brother Bullshit has a bad memory."

"I was also attracted by nitrocellulose when I was studying the art of making guns. I checked the volume repeatedly and learned that the biological improvement of cotton varieties has highlighted the huge use value."

Zhou Weiguo:? ? ?

Is this little flower?
Under the pressure of academics, she has always had her eyes above the top and despises all monks who follow the rules.

I'm afraid that only in front of her bullshit brother will she feel sorry for her brother?

Xiao Hua continued to say:
"And extending from this point..."

"My lord gave the oracle that in the future, the main agricultural city will be established in the No. 28-34 region. In addition to rice cultivation, cotton production must also be the top priority."

"Cotton is used to weave clothing, and it is also a strategic material for triggering medicine. Even cotton seeds can be used as edible oil and livestock feed."

"In the future, cotton will definitely be one of the important crops."

Talk to here.

Cow dung can only feel ashamed.

According to Xiaohua's description of cotton and nitrocellulose, the establishment of new cities in the eastern regions and the planting policy may really be as she expected.

"Xiaohua, your law realm has already surpassed mine!"

"Praise my lord, praise balance!"

Bullshit sighs and praises from the heart.

Xiaohua also immediately praised her earnestly, and she was so happy because of the praise of bullshit: "Hehe, brother bullshit, maybe I can break through the realm earlier and complete this punishment in advance, so that I can participate in gunpowder." , within the Petroleum Research Group."

"..." Bull Shit and Zhou Weiguo looked at each other in blank dismay.

Only Xiaohua dared to say such words, and she would not be laughed at.

She is so talented.

As expected of being praised by the world, Xiaohua was once a child chosen by our lord Kianping.

Son of Balance! !

"I won't chat with you anymore, I'm going back to practice the law." Zhou Weiguo pretended to smile wryly, not because he was discouraged, but just as a joke.

Niushi also said: "The three of us have to work hard! Xiaohua, if you can go out, your parents will be at ease. Although my talent is not as good as yours, but there is still more than a year to break through the high-level top-rank and reach the law. Dzogchen!"

The three looked at each other, full of encouragement to each other.

……

the present.

Time acceleration is on.

Xuenv is learning English, and the books she uses are economics and management concepts of ZZ, so there is no delay in learning both language and knowledge.

Zhou Li'an didn't know the equilibrium situation, and he didn't think that Xiaohua could extend from oil exploration to the development of plantations in the Mississippi Plains in the future.

This kind of thinking consciousness has surpassed ordinary people.

If it's a modern person, it's fine.

However, she is just an aboriginal self-study by books, her high school knowledge has not yet been perfected, but she can already judge the future trend.

Of course, this was also due to Zhou Li'an's early planning, which brought out the signs.

As for thermal weapon development...

Certainly not the first sequence.

With the natural development of industrial technology, war weapons are only by-products, and when the materials and technology are available, they can be assembled.

For example, in the present world, small workshop owners with high school education and hiding in towns can make "assembled parts".

Due to the limitation of materials, it is not very powerful, but in the 15th century, this kind of "assembled parts" can also form a dimensionality reduction blow to matchlocks and flintlock guns.

Not to mention, when the time comes, Zhou Li'an can release the old munitions production line from this world.

The development goal of each research group is to continuously climb the scientific level.

The Temple Mount is the Academy of Sciences.

The Academy of Sciences provides inventions and creations, popularizes practices, and forms large-scale industries, which are decentralized to various production institutions.

After a day.

A master and a servant descended through time.

Equilibrium 12 years, November.

Zhou Li'an and Xue Nu first went to Owens Valley, the big city on the 9th, to inspect the new army.

Because of the balance between the news newspaper and the printing and paper making team, Tiaoyu put down the training work for the new army, and the other students in the bullshit continued to be in charge.

Everyone paid homage to our lord, and the person in charge of No. 9 Balance Academy reported that the new year's salt production will be launched at the end of June, and the new year's production will double, which is expected to cover the annual consumption of 6 cities.

Of course Zhou Li'an was delighted after hearing this.

After cultivating and cultivating for so long, it finally has to bear fruit.

There is no need to mobilize table salt anymore, just keep adding it.

At noon, take off to the north.

The destination is the No. 6 big city Sparks.

When the plane flew over Lake Tahoe, which was once the homeland of the Tahoe people, and finally when the balance cavalry went out for the first test, the surrender was classified under the balance.

Today, the huge Lake Tahoe has become the fishing ground of the No. 6 big city.

It can be seen that the small camps around the lake shore have built small piers, and there are small boats like a flat boat for fishing operations on the lake.

Zhou Li'an especially lowered the height.

Then I saw people on the ground jumping and shouting, and prostrating and kowtowing.

"My lord is above, master, this is the people living in the kingdom of joy under the light of balance, praise you, praise balance."

Snow Maiden sighed.

Zhou Li'an was also a little moved, which is rare.

12 years of balance is just a blink of an eye for him.

Looking back now, the poverty and misery of the aborigines seem to be in stark contrast to the present just a moment ago.

Zhou Li'an is not the Holy Mother, but the establishment of Equilibrium has prevented the extinction of the indigenous people in the next few hundred years. This sense of accomplishment cannot be described in words.

Landing in No. 6 Dacheng, the people of Dacheng bowed down.

Return to the present world at night, and on the next day, go to the station where the mining area and the steel team are located.

The night before, I had to listen to Kuaiqi's notice, and my lord came.

Steel Team is ready to meet.

Nowadays, the pig iron smelting in the local blast furnace has formed a large scale, and the pungent black smoke from the dozens of chimneys is not only not offensive, but a witness of glory.

Zhou Li'an performed miracles on the temporary altar.

As in the San Joaquin Valley, bless the creation of a giant sacred vessel and prepare to build modern blast furnace equipment.

Instructions are given.

The next step is to simulate the assembly, and the actual operation can only be performed after a thorough understanding of the instructions.

In the next two days, inspect the cities.

The printing group outside the big city of No. 2 is the least favored.

The oil group was blessed by the Lord when it was first established, and now the steel group has also obtained a giant holy artifact.

Even that gunpowder team...

Boom boom boom I had so much fun playing in the mountains.

The printing team is really hard. They produce paper every day and send it to the colleges in each city, and they are also responsible for the balanced news every week.

But they are also having fun, the value of news reports has been reflected, they know how important their work is, and they represent the mouthpiece of the oracle of our lord.

Of course Zhou Li'an didn't favor one over another.

Petroleum machinery and blast furnaces do not need power support, but papermaking machinery and equipment do.

If put into power generation equipment, it will consume fuel.

Judging from the current paper production, energy consumption is huge.

After the oil is produced, self-sufficiency is achieved, and then equipment renewal is considered.

But the printing group is not without research projects.

In addition to the Petroleum team going directly into the specialization of Mechanical Engineering, they are also constantly working on basic mechanical components.

Because the water conservancy and waterwheels used by the printing factory are running, they have optimized the configuration of waterwheels according to the law of dense coiling, and have gradually produced them and sent them to various cities.

Waterwheels for irrigation, as well as water mills are needed in every city.

Although Equilibrium is stepping into industry, but for a long time in the future, it is impossible to further upgrade the means of agricultural production.

In the future, the establishment of agricultural success in the Mississippi Plain area, and these primitive mechanical agricultural technologies will all increase production and income in a balanced manner.

Cutting-edge technology requires research and exploration, and technologies that benefit the country and the people's livelihood must also be developed and popularized.

Finally, come to the No. 8 big city and go to the San Joaquin Valley.

For a month, the group progressed slowly.

While studying the instruction manual, he also needs to learn the knowledge he has not learned from the secret volume of laws.

They all know the danger of only mining, and they dare not defile the sacred artifacts and cause damage, so they strive for perfection, and they will never do it lightly if they are not fully sure.

Zhou Li'an is not in a hurry, because everyone in the team is working hard, and the first batch of engineers in Equilibrium will be self-incubating, and he is just returning to the present world to sleep.

Time acceleration is on.

The balance of 12 years has passed halfway, and it is the midsummer of July.
