During the inspection of each city, the main inspection targets are No. 6, 8, 9 and the to-be-built No. 10 city. The main mining output is Sparks, the No. 1 city.

Nowadays, a large amount of coal mines and limestone have been produced and reserved as reserves. We only need to wait for the monks of the Law of Equilibrium to break through before they can start building various factories.

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

Most of the sulfur ores in North America are concentrated in Wyoming. The region's coal mines and natural gas resources rank first in the United States. It has the geographical conditions to produce sulfur ores and has many surface sulfur ore resources.

But now to go to Wyoming to pull sulfur, you need to cross Nevada and Utah. There are no roads connecting it. Even if there is horse power, there is no transportation capacity.

Nevada's small amount of output is enough to meet basic needs, but even if the people are allowed to go to central Nevada to mine, it will be a long way and requires great perseverance.

At the same time as sulfur was being excavated, other agricultural cities began to build "nitrate ponds" to refine nitrate and cultivate nitrate soil.

On the one hand, it can provide fertility for farmland, and on the other hand, saltpeter is used to make gunpowder. The local method of making saltpeter uses feces and plant ash to extract it.

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

Saltpeter and sulfur are ready, and finally sugar is added to make Willy's huge "sweet gunpowder", which can be used for mining copper and iron ores.

With iron ore and large-scale steel smelting, we can truly say that we have entered industry.

As for why not buy the gunpowder used to blow up mountains and mine directly from this world...

It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish.

The Temple Mount has all kinds of laws. As a balanced future, the law monks must master all kinds of technologies from scratch.

It is not advisable to follow the script. What Zhou Li'an wants to see is scientific practice.

There is no road in the world, but as people travel more, there will be roads.

What's more, the laws of the Temple Mount are complete, and the road signs for the bright future have long been established in front of everyone's eyes.

Immediately, Zhou Li'an ordered Niu Shi to select talents and establish the "Kingliang Gunpowder Research Group", which was the first scientific research project for Kung Fu.

Extract saltpeter, fertilizer, and synthesize gunpowder.

Niu Shi was very interested in gunpowder, "My lord, Niu Shi is also willing to join the research team and contribute to the creation of laws!'

From his piercing eyes, you can see that he is not only curious, but also takes it as an honor. There is no need to doubt his faith.

Xiaohua is also eager to try. She has good talent, and she is also a follower of Niu Shi. Whatever brother Niu Shi does, she will also do.

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

It seems that the control of power is still in the hands of the ministers and elders, but without her academy and disciples writing texts and submitting them to our true God, they would not even be qualified to communicate with my Lord.

Of course, Xiaohua doesn't have so much thoughts about fighting for power and profit.

But in the process of implementing the rules, the change of power is bound to be completed quietly. Those who do not practice the rules will be eliminated sooner or later.

No, the leaders of the battle group such as Shanshan felt a sense of crisis, and Pi Diandian started practicing.

This is what Zhou Li'an hopes to see. He has never overturned the power structure of the restructuring, and he has only been playing the game with a gentle and silent hand.

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

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

As soon as these words came out.

Cow shit becomes entangled.

He wanted to do research and indulge in law practice, but as an indigenous child, he was warlike by nature.

The second expedition is ahead. If you can experience the mountains and rivers of the southern land in person, it will be far more intuitive than looking at a large atlas, and you can think more.

Cow shit is still silent.

Yuki Onna was already angry with her younger brother

Why are you so stupid!

Do you still need to think about this?

But Xiaohua is very clever, and as soon as she sees the shaman's expression, she is instantly enlightened. Yingying kneels down and worships, my lord, Xiaohua and Brother Niu Shi are willing to accompany you and serve you!'

"This is our glory, praise our Lord, praise the balance!"

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

Niu Shi also finally understood and knelt down and said: "My Lord, Niu Shi is willing to follow you and listen to your teachings. If I can see the situation of the tribes in the southern land, I will be able to overcome the thorns and thorns in the future southern expedition without being helpless!'

Zhou Li'an was quite amused by this scene and laughed: "This is not a multiple-choice question. The transportation of sulfur ore and the extraction of saltpeter all take time.

"When you return from your trip south, you can lead the research team and open up a path for the creation of laws!'

Niu Shi suddenly realized that only the sound of praise was left.

After leaving Big City No. 6, everyone came to Owens Valley.

City No. 9 is a horse breeding area and needs to be taken seriously.

Nowadays, countless farmland has been reclaimed in the south of the valley, and lake water can be introduced into it after spring for rice cultivation.

On one side of the valley, thousands of horses are galloping and there is abundant water and grass; on the other side, the people sweat and sweat, building a fertile soil that can become a paradise in the world.

This is the kingdom of balanced joy.

However, arriving at Los Angeles, the main city on No. 8, is a different scene. The city is built under the valley in the northwest and looks quite arid.

This place was not the core area of ​​the later city of Los Angeles, but was located on the northern edge.

There are two reasons for this. One is to rely on the water system of the San Joaquin River to support its construction and meet water problems. The other is to avoid the Los Angeles wetlands.

The existence of wetlands does not conflict with climate drought.

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

There is nothing blocking the valley, and there are no rivers to drain it. Flash floods occur frequently during the rainy season, and it eventually turns into a wetland forest, a kingdom for wild animals.

Miwok tribes also existed in the early days, but small-scale settlements lived scattered and were not affected by floods.

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

Moreover, wetland water resources cannot meet the needs of large-scale concentrated populations.

Today, the rise of Los Angeles is entirely due to the construction of artificial canals and water conservancy.

On the one hand, water diversion from north to south meets industrial and domestic water needs; on the other hand, California waterways and Los Angeles waterways alleviate flood impacts during the rainy season.

Even so, there are still occasional records of flooding.

A balanced start.

Fighting against nature is time-consuming and labor-intensive, so it is better to stay away from the edge temporarily and wait for the influx of people from Central and South America to have more time for urban planning and development.

The great city will eventually be expanded.

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

When Zhou Li'an and others arrived.

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

They will accompany our Lord True God from City 8 to Palm Springs, the 10th city, for preliminary construction inspection.

Passing 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 the area of ​​this oasis is so small that it seems that it may be swallowed up by the erosion of the Huangshan Gobi Desert at any time.

After visiting Palm Springs in real life, it is difficult to imagine how the continuous resorts, fountains, hotels, and endless green golf lawns grew out of a piece of Gobi.

However, it was precisely because of the "report cards" of later generations that Zhou Li'an knew about the possibility of building a city in a desert oasis.

While still alive, he collected water records of Palm Springs.

When the town was first developed, California waterways had not yet emerged. At the end of the 19th 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 were opened and gradually evolved into tourist attractions.

The expedition team included California natives who lived here earlier as guides to point out the basic water sources.

Zhou Li'an also checked the existing information and told the Hohokam people about the location of water sources that could be used. They could imitate the ancient waterways under the Phoenix City and weave a water system spider web in Palm Springs to improve the environment and turn it into an oasis city.

Of course, the expansion of oasis will take some time to develop, but as long as the water problem is solved, it is reasonable to build a small city of 10,000 people in advance as the starting point of the "war path".

With Palm Springs, we have the resources to head east to Arizona.

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

February 15th.

Everything in each city is in order,

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

Following the trend, it circled over each city again.

Just fill the cup with it. With a fervent faith, there is no such thing as too much.

The first stop for everyone is Phoenix, Arizona.

Zhou Li'an will walk along the route from Palm Springs to Phoenix, and use aerial photography from an airplane to record the scenes along the way.
