Start North America 1400: nation building

Chapter 92 [91] Purple Qi "West" rises
Returning from inspection in Owens Valley.

Zhou Li'an spent 4 days teaching the homework of Snow Girl and Cow Shit, and continued to leave new homework.

Mathematics is proficient by solving problems, and bullshit is a gifted child who knows how to apply what he has learned.

Not only has the decree of enlightenment descended, but also the "flying creation" pie drawn by Zhou Li'an 4 days ago, the learning motivation can be said to be turbocharged.

Language learning is to recognize new characters, copy and write from memory.

Zhou Li'an also picked up dozens of "Excellent Compositions for Elementary School Students" from the real world, and handed them to Xue Nu to read and appreciate, and then asked her to complete a diary assignment every day and check it next month.

The time in the next three years will accelerate and jump, enough for hundreds of balanced flowers to complete the literacy.

Equilibrium 2 years, June 4.

Zhou Li'an returned to the present world and started the second time acceleration.

The cumbersome is a little cumbersome, but win in a steady way.

Once the tribe encounters any changes, it will not be over-fermented in one month, leaving a chance to stop losses and save.

In the morning, buy a ticket to Juarez.

Barbara acted swiftly, and had already purchased the design drawings of plate armor and chain armor from the workshop of a personal armor enthusiast, and asked the other party to improve the plan for mass production.

This time I came here to supervise the work and make a fixed board.

Because it is impossible to tailor-made for tribal people, the plate armor combination is best to be an adjustable assembled model. With modern industrial technology, it can do things that ancient crafts cannot do.

Finally, multi-plate testing is carried out, material selection is completed, and mass production begins after finalization.

Time is tight, and 3 sets need to be produced in about 6000 months.

After all, there is still an assessment before the expedition, from the Owens Valley to the equilibrium station. Except that there will be no hostile tribes as opponents, everything needs to be practiced according to the actual expedition standard, and the equipment must be complete.

……

Juarez, Processing Zone.

Tool factories are comparable in size to leather factories.

Outside the back door of the factory.

A model dummy put on a complete set of plate armor, and a newly recruited operation team employee by Barbara was speaking English with a strong Spanish flavor, excitedly introducing the product for the big boss——

"Except for the breastplate and carapace, which are fixed plates, all other parts are movable splicing plates. According to the length of individual limbs, the redundant splicing plates can be removed to reduce the size, while the standard version is designed with a height limit of 180 cm, adapting to various body configurations... ..."

"Of course, people who are too obese will definitely not be able to wear them, and people who are too thin will not be able to wear them for a long time. Although they have been designed to reduce weight, they are made of alloy..."

"Oh, yes, boss, so we are making props for a large ancient war movie, right? Oh my god, 6000 sets of plate armor, it's too scary, it must be a big scene of fighting! But now it's not all special effects Is it? Iron Man kind of..."

While talking about the topic, I went astray.

Zhou Li'an glanced at Barbara, and the black aunt rubbed her noisy ears and sighed, "Several of our factories have employees who can't speak English, and there are a lot of them.

Believe me, when I was admitted to the middle school in the city with the first grade in the small town, I couldn't understand what the English teacher was saying..."

"I always thought that Spanish was the universal language of the world."

"So, we can only recruit some local people, but you can rest assured that he is a professional with a university degree and has operated 4 factories."

Mexico, which is adjacent to the United States, has a frighteningly low English penetration rate. Sometimes when you stay in a hotel and speak English, the front desk will either look confused or ignore you...

Never take pride in knowing one more foreign language.

After Barbara finished complaining, she waved her hand at the employee, "That's enough, Barbatos, shut your mouth and go get the prepared tools."

Now it's time to start testing.

Barbatos didn't feel offended, and ran away excitedly when he heard that he wanted to get the tools, probably because he wanted to perform for the big boss.

At this moment, Zhou Li'an stepped forward to observe the plate armor.

The overall design naturally refers to the European Middle Ages, but it also adds modern aesthetics, eliminating the bulky feeling and making it more lightweight.

Modern composite metal materials are strong enough so there is no need to use mass for added protection.And even in ancient times, the steel was not purified enough, and the plate armor was still invincible. With the face helmet down, there was almost no dead angle except for the precise slashing of the joints.

The only drawback is that the wearer is exhausted and will be captured alive.

The maximum wearable height of the plate armor is 180. People who are too tall can wear it, but it will cause too much gap in the plate armor and expose the vitals.

Before the design, Zhou Li'an gave the standard data.

The average height of adult Native American men is around 172-176, which was originally designed according to this size standard.

In the selection of members of the Balance Knights, the heights will be uniformed as much as possible, and the strongest warriors will be selected to join.

Not long after, Barbatos returned.

Holding a lot of tools in his arms, he was followed by several other members of the operation team who came to watch the fun.

Barbara continued, "The long knife and spearhead are samples made according to your material selection standards, and we went to the farm tool market to purchase axes and hammers."

"Boss, Ms. Barbara, am I going to start?" Barbatos was extremely excited.

Barbara nodded expressionlessly.

First, the spear with the spearhead stabbed, and after a few strokes, only a scratch was left on the breastplate, followed by a long knife chop, with the same result.

Then came the axe.

Boom, boom, boom, a few slams, and tiny pits began to appear, but the whole thing was fine.

Zhou Li'an said: "Use more force, treat it as your enemy, and use the strength to kill him."

Barbatos slammed down hard again.

Bang! !

The ax came out of his hand directly, and a more obvious dent appeared.

Zhou Li'an stepped forward to check, there were no cracks, the diameter of the pit was two fingers wide, and the wear and tear was harmless.

On the contrary, Barbatos kept shaking his hands, swearing and speaking in Spanish, 'Damn it, it hurts me to death! '

The test was perfect.

Zhou Li'an asked Barbara: "What about the cost?"

"A set of $400."

Hiss, cheaper than expected.

The custom-made and multi-handed antiques I saw on second-hand websites often start at more than 1000, and the unit is of course US dollars.

Clearly, the factory investment was the right one.

Now 240 million US dollars can build an army of iron cavalry, which is excellent value for money.

"Let's start mass production. I'm making two sets of prototypes. I need to take them with me when I leave."

"no problem."

The rest of the chain mail is nothing to test.

This thing is not resistant to blunt blows, it is only used as the lining of the plate armor to prevent stab wounds at the joints.

Frontal piercing is impossible, and the ring-mounted high-density chain armor has amazing defense.

The chain armor also needs to be equipped for the horse. The only thing to consider is the laying of the inner leather pad to prevent damage to the horse's body surface.

The next day, Barbara rented a horse from a farm in the local suburbs and brought it for a draping test. Finally, the specifications were determined and production began.

It's not over yet.

Barbara contacted a local milk powder company in Mexico to deliver and purchase milk powder.

Not to mention baby formula.

How many people eat ordinary milk powder to cook rice porridge when they were young, and they still grow up to this size; ordinary milk powder is not easy for infants to absorb, and it is better to dilute it and eat less.

Normally, newborns still give priority to breastfeeding, and milk powder is the second choice.

Adults and older children can drink milk every day to strengthen their bodies.

In addition, cornmeal and wheat flour in grain processing factories have also begun to be stockpiled for emergencies.

Then came the woodcarving factory...

Zhou Li'an bit the bullet and took out a wood carving of his own, as well as a photo for reference, and handed it to Barbara.

The old lady with habitual facial paralysis finally couldn't hold back anymore, "Boss, are you serious? 10 sets? Your own... statue?"

"Barbara, please pay attention to your responsibilities and identities!!"

"Yes, sir, as you wish."

three days in a row.

Zhou Li'an is very busy.

Of course, the second time acceleration has already been completed. When he returned to the villa where Jonah's father and daughter were resting at night, he locked the door and descended through time travel.

According to the old rules, listen to the report from Snow Maiden and the elders, and then rush to Owens Valley to check the condition of the horses at dawn.

In the next few days and nights, I continued to make up lessons for Cow Shit and Xuenv.

Balance station.

Everything is progressing in an orderly manner, which also allows me to truly experience the fun of opening... A day spans a month, and every time I come, I can witness the prosperity of the equilibrium at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Now, March 3.

The third time acceleration is activated.

Equilibrium 2 May is heading towards June.

The system is temporarily blocked for a day, and I continue to focus on factory affairs.

When the milk powder arrived, there were 12 containers with a total of 600 tons. When purchasing, it was agreed that the manufacturer would pack them in 100 kg bags.

This amount is enough to consume more than 3 balanced people for 3 years.

600 tons of milk powder, with a total price of more than 240 million US dollars. This is Zhou Li'an's selection of high-quality products for the health of his people.

It seems that the burden is very easy now, but if the population exceeds one million in the future... 2400 million milk powder expenses will be needed a year.

Well, milk powder is not something that everyone can afford.

It will eventually become a luxury and be provided to groups with more needs.

For example, scholars who practice various balance laws use it to replenish their brains.

Such as the leadership of various ministries.

Clearly, by then, class divisions will finally begin.

But Zhou Li'an never thought about creating a world without Lin... oh no, a world without classes.

As long as human desires exist, there can be no dignity or inferiority.

Of course, the transition of the development period is only temporary. As the Kingdom of God continues to enter a new era, the problem of lack of supplies will be resolved soon.

The cows in the present world are released, and the cattle farm starts.

The development of animal husbandry and agriculture is a necessary process. Otherwise, the population of more than 3000 million in the entire United States will not be able to support Zhou Li'an's delivery of supplies.

This is why, from now on, the balanced resident will start planting hybrid rice to improve the agricultural level as soon as possible.

After the problem of food and clothing is solved, the process of industrialization will be promoted.

Although there is a long way to go in the future, but thinking so much is just mediocrity, only one step at a time, bigger and stronger, a bright and balanced future will come.

Zhou Li'an asked Barbara to send the milk powder, cornmeal and wheat flour stored in the grain processing factory to the import and export trade zone.

Barbara didn't need to ask why, the boss said earlier that she was going to Africa to do good deeds.

There must be a restless and boiling heart under her dark and calm face.

The boss is a good guy.

Millions smashed out to save her fellow old niggers.

That night, Zhou Li'an drove to the trade area, and on the grounds of inspecting the goods, went to the container storage place, and put all the materials into the [system portable space].

the next day.

The system is unsealed, and the third time acceleration is completed.

Zhou Li'an returned to Oregon by plane with two sets of packed plate armor and chain armor.

It is not convenient to live in Juarez, and you have to avoid Jonah's father and daughter and Wang Defa when you travel through the land. Although the former already knows his own mysterious power, knowing and witnessing with his own eyes are two different concepts.

Patricia is okay, Jonah always feels a little unnatural when facing Zhou Li'an these days.

After returning home.

Zhou Li'an put the plate armor and chain armor back into the system, and traveled again.

When Oregon is still in the cold spring, this side of parallel time and space has already entered summer, and the time has come to June of the second year of equilibrium.

in the morning.

In the center of the station, climbers and elders gather around our Lord True God.

I saw my lord waving his hand, causing several heavy objects to fall to the ground, making a dull sound, and everyone's eyes were attracted.

Xue Nu asked from the side: "Master, what are these?"

Now she has begun to communicate in Chinese habitually, and she regards it as an honor.

Only cow dung can understand other people, and the rest are all confused and anxious, wishing to learn the language bestowed by the true God.

"This is armor, which can protect against swords and spears, let alone stone axes."

"Xue Nu, let your father wear it."

Xue Nu nodded, then switched to Modoc language, and gave instructions to climb the mountain.

Bullshit is looking forward to this scene.

He understands the words of our Lord.

Not only can it protect against damage from swords, but it also has no fear of stone axes... This is another creation of the great true god.

When climbing the mountain and starting to dress, Zhou Li'an was still needed to give guidance, but it is absolutely impossible for the true god to change clothes for a humble citizen, so it is quite time-consuming to dress for the first time.

But if compared with the orthodox medieval plate armor, today's modern improved version is very easy to wear.

Medieval knights needed to train retinues. On the one hand, they took care of daily life and food, and on the other hand, they were responsible for helping the knights wear armor.

It takes time and effort to change the armor, which is tantamount to a big girl getting married.

When he was fully armed for climbing, he tried to take a step, with excitement on his face, and he knew exactly how strong the outfit was.

"Bullshit, cut me with a knife...!" Climbing shouted.

Bullshit didn't say a word, picked up the long knife that his father had just put on the ground, and chopped it up...

Bang!
The sound of gold and stone colliding sounded.

The long knife flew at the sound and was bounced off.

Bull Shit Cliff has used all his strength, if there is no plate armor, it must be a situation where fathers are kind and sons are filial.

However, at this moment, everyone around was stunned.

The long knife bestowed by our lord left only a white mark on the armor, not even a hole.

"My balance!! This, how is this possible!"

"Oh, my lord! What kind of treasure is this!!"

Everyone shouted in surprise.

Zhou Li'an said: "This is the alloy armor of my creation, and it will be equipped as the first generation of the Equilibrium Knights!"

"Warriors who can be selected into the Balance Knights will get a set of this armor, which will open up the territory for Balance!!"

The words fall.

There was no sound in the arena.

Until a loud noise woke them up.

boom--

Climbing the mountain and kneeling on the ground, but unable to prostrate due to the plate armor, he buried his head deeply and shouted tremblingly, "Our Equilibrium Knights have this kind of armor bestowed by God, and we will surely become the most powerful warriors in the world. Can look down upon!!
Praise the Lord, praise the balance! ! "

The praises were heard, and everyone knelt down, as if they had seen the terrifying scene of the balance 6000 iron cavalry sweeping across the land, which made the blood boil! !
this day.

Inside the equilibrium station, it was once again boiling.

Climbing the plate armor, he was unwilling to take it off. He showed the sanctity of the armor in front of the people countless times, and the remaining set was also given to another chapter leader.

At night, the two even started to collide and fight in the open space in the center of the garrison. They did not take off their armor until they were exhausted.

The warriors who have been selected and those who have not yet been selected into the Knights are eager to see through.

If one wears such equipment, how can there be an opponent in this world?

When they got home, they knelt in front of the statue of our lord Balanced True Body, and kept praying and praising devoutly, only praying that they could also get the indestructible god-given armor as soon as possible.

December 6, late at night.

Zhou Li'an flashed away and turned on time acceleration for the fourth time.

A day passed in a blink of an eye.

The system was unsealed, and he descended through time travel.

Xuenv had long remembered the days, even though it was dark at this time, she still waited in the hall of the temple and did not fall asleep.

When she saw Zhou Li'an coming, she immediately knelt down and said, "Master! You are finally back! Xuenv has always missed you..."

She was expressing her heart when she saw Zhou Li'an looking at the night sky due west outside the door with deep eyes.

"Master, Master?"

Xuenv followed and looked, not knowing what was in the dark night sky, but she knew very well that the true god of our lord can penetrate everything in the world.

"West, is something happening?"

Zhou Li'an smiled, and continued to look at the emptiness of the night, but said: "There is a purple air in the west, rising upwards, waiting to be absorbed and picked!!"

System time: July 1402, 7.

That is, the equilibrium is July 2, 7 years;
June [-]th of the fourth year of Jianwen;

Zhu Di is the emperor, and his reign name is Yongle.
