Zhou Li'an passed the pilot license test in one attempt.
The examiner was full of praise for his skills, and an expert could tell at a glance that he had worked hard.
After all, it is a high-risk aircraft, with an accident rate of 3% after 100,000 flight hours, ranking first among all types of aircraft.
Zhou Li'an must be responsible for himself and his people.
The fear is that ‘the late emperor’s business was half-finished but the middle path collapsed’.
Accidents often occur in small single-engine helicopters, which lack power and are unable to climb to a higher altitude when encountering air vortices. As a result, the helicopter explodes on the ground.
But sometimes it really depends on whether you encounter an accident or not.
The Sikorsky S-76 that the Black Mamba originally rode was customized at a full price of 14 million U.S. dollars. The accident rate per 100,000 hours was only 0.22%, but it was still sent. How can this be justified?
However, Zhou Li'an is worried. If he really encounters an accident, he can travel through time. If he crashes at a low altitude, he can land safely by flashing several times; if he crashes at a high altitude, he can carry a parachute, which can be said to be foolproof.
After passing the exam, the certificate will be issued one week later.
The manager of the business flying club opened a bottle of 3-liter Salute wine worth 6,000 dollars to celebrate for him.
Compared with those rich students who play for tickets, Zhou Li'an obtained the certificate quickly in one month, which allowed them to reduce a lot of costs and expenses and make a lot of money.
Before leaving, Zhou Li'an sent another big order to the flying club.
He wants to rent a large twin-engine aircraft and go home to continue practicing and strive to become an experienced driver.
It's a matter of safety, but technology is the last word. A twin-engine machine with a high safety factor costs tens of millions, and crashing it is equivalent to a month's work in the tannery factory.
The flight will be sent to Salem along with the driver's license.
The manager was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He personally flew the plane to send him home across the city; on the way, he even talked about ordering the plane.
What Zhou Li'an prefers are the Airbus h215 and h225 models, which are new models launched after Eurocopter was acquired and reorganized by Airbus.
Both are heavy-duty and large-lift twin-engine aircraft, and are naturally expensive. The latter, as the world's most expensive model, costs up to 27 million U.S. dollars and has a cruising range of up to 1,100 kilometers.
Definitely meet the need to open the map of North and South America.
The manager recommended the Black Mamba model, which is half the price, mainly because they have spot channels, so there is a natural sales commission.
Zhou Li'an was in no hurry to place an order.
The main reason is that there is not enough money. Of the more than 20 million deposited, 10 million has to be used to put in horses. The 1,000 horses are still in the [system portable space] and have not been taken out. Once taken out, fees will be deducted.
The aircraft was sold as bare metal, and Zhou Li'an wanted to do "life-extending modifications" to extend its service life as much as possible to avoid scrapping it too quickly.
Therefore, we have to wait until the fur income comes in this month to make a decision.
The delivery period for helicopters is basically one month, unlike fixed-wing private jets that often have to wait in line for more than half a year.
If you are lucky, you can complete the exploration of the North American map before summer arrives.
…
Day three back in Salem.
System time: March 11, 1401
It is also Equilibrium Year 1, March 11th.
Zhou Li'an arrives.
Spring is coming, but the temperature has not risen and instead dropped to 4 degrees Celsius.
The balanced people are not worried about the abnormal weather now because they are busy with construction and development and are extremely satisfied with their lives.
The weather in California is nothing but trivial matter to the Modocs who come from the mountains of Oregon further north.
Balance's current location is located on the east bank of the middle reaches of the "America River", and further east are the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Yosemite, Owens and other valleys.
Vertically to the south, there is a large area of wilderness, collectively known as the California Valley, which is the agricultural planting area in California after the water diversion from north to south.
To the west facing the station is the rich water system of the Sacramento River Basin, which can be said to be beautiful mountains and clear waters.
Based on the current map positioning, the area that Balance currently occupies is a tourist town called ‘Coloma’.
The most famous scenic spot in the town is called Marshall's Mill-Golden Adventure Heritage Park. The park is not large, but it occupies an extremely important position in the history of American development.
Because this is the starting point of the gold rush, in 1848 a craftsman named Marshall discovered the first piece of gold in the river under the mill waterwheel.
This triggered a swarm of gold diggers from all over the world.
The balanced residence is only more than 1,000 meters away from the river. It can be said that wealth is right in front of you.
However, gold cannot escape, so Zhou Li'an is not in a hurry to mine it. The top priority is to establish a city-state.
The settlement of more than 17,000 people requires careful planning, because there will be migration of the Paiute and Miwok people next.
After passing through California, the number of balanced citizens will surely exceed 25,000. This population base is enough to serve as the starting point for the development of a civilization.
In the three months since I moved there, a large area of open space has been opened up around the settlement. People have cut down big trees and cleared the periphery of the forest to build houses.
It was only a month ago that the construction of the house started in earnest.
Before Zhou Li'an went to apply for the license, he gave tools and simple construction drawings to the tribesmen.
In the past, hundreds of craftsmen from various tribes gathered together to brainstorm and finally understood the architectural knowledge given by our Lord.
In fact, it is not difficult, but they have never owned iron tools, but after getting used to it, they discovered the wonderful use of iron nails and building materials to build extremely strong houses and residences.
Hundreds of craftsmen first mastered their craftsmanship, and then divided into groups. Now there is a construction team of thousands of people within the tribe.
Wood is inexhaustible.
In the past month, dozens of wooden houses have been built. Compared with the living environment of civilizations in various regions at the same time, it is still far behind, but this is already an epoch-making leap forward in North America.
At this time, Zhou Li'an was on an inspection tour with the group of elders.
The wooden houses are all one-story structures with a space of 120 square meters, divided into living rooms and bedrooms.
In order to prevent fires, it is better to set up a living area canteen as a collective unit to make fires and cook meals.
The use of open flames is prohibited in every household.
Of course, defecation is not done indoors. You need to walk to the woodland 500 meters away from the living area, where there are public toilets.
Countless historical experiences have proven that poor sanitary conditions in communal living will lead to the emergence and spread of epidemics.
Therefore, hygiene standards must be strictly followed.
Balanced people are very obedient.
The true God has issued a will, and all believers must abide by it.
After walking around, Zhou Li'an discovered Hua Dian.
After waiting for a family of three to kneel down, he showed a warm smile and asked, "Is your wife pregnant?"
The dark-skinned strong man in front of him scratched his head with a naive smile, "My lord above, it is because of your glory that my wives can give birth to new life, praise balance, and praise my lord."
That emotion in Zhou Li'an's heart.
Family of three.
There is one husband and two wives, so "men" must be added after the wife.
What a happy people.
However, for such a primitive marriage system, Zhou Li'an felt that it was still feasible to proceed realistically.
The population of the system is displayed as 17119; but there is no specific distinction between male and female ratios, which is very unintelligent.
Tribal people have no concept of counting.
In later wars with colonists, the statistics of Indian casualties were always "a few"; this was not because the colonists were cunning and deliberately obscured the numbers of massacres.
But the Indians had no rosters, no writing, and no concept of statistics.
But it is too difficult to conduct a census now. The people have not yet mastered writing and do not have names.
Zhou Li'an thought about it for a while and then told Snow Girl: "Ask the older children who know how to count to go to various ministries to count the number of men and women."
Statistics of men and women can still be done.
The snow girl first knelt down to accept the order, and then asked humbly: "Master, why do you need to count the number of men and women?"
Zhou Li'an pointed at the family of three: "Proportion...oh, you haven't entered the sacred realm of equilibrium mathematics yet..."
"To put it simply, if there are too many men or too many women, there will always be people who cannot get a match."
"A balanced people should have joy for everyone. Men without wives should be given wives for them, and vice versa. Do you understand?"
When starting a business, do it as easily as possible.
Population growth must rise and be steady.
Single?
Balance does not allow single dogs to exist. If there is no partner, partners will be given out. This is the country of joy.
The words fell.
Not only the snow girl, but also the elders were thoughtful, but the elders of the Mono people still looked at a loss.
Zhou Li'an took the trouble to explain it to them again, and they immediately accepted the order.
The inspection is over.
Zhou Li'an issued a decree: "Gather the people."
Soon, there were cheers and shouts from all over the station——
"My Lord has come!"
"The new baby born to our people will be given a name."
"Those who have children, please take them to see our Lord!"
As a result, tens of thousands of people gathered under the altar to witness this historic moment.
Zhou Li'an had already prepared.
A small printed note is stored in the system space to distinguish between men and women.
When the woman came forward with the baby boy in her arms, he had a thought and took out a note and spread it out——
"The era of Balance has arrived. As a newborn of the Kingdom of Balance, he should make progress and move forward... I will give him the name of 'Zhou Progress'."
Another baby girl came forward.
"...the glory of balance sweeps across the earth, and all living things revive, grow, and thrive, Zhou Xinrong."
"...Zhou repays his kindness."
"...Lijuan."
"Master of the Guard."
"The people are strong."
Taking Zhou as the surname was a gift from those who were the first to surrender to the Balance. As the population grew, Zhou Li'an would develop other surnames and leave it to a dedicated person to give the name.
Therefore, the Modoc, Mono, and later the Paiute and Miwok people can all become peoples with noble surnames.
Invest early and enjoy early.
It was already dusk when the name-giving was over.
But our Lord's blessings were not over yet. Zhou Li'an ordered people to light a bonfire, and a citizen named Helian came on the stage to kowtow and praise.
Zhou Li'an waved his hand and a necklace appeared.
Steel structure, balanced logo engraved on the medallion.
Will the equilibrium pattern collide with Taoism?
No no no.
Because there is a saying in chapter xx of "The Holy Book of Balance" that my lord, Balance, enlightened the Taoist school in xx Xianshan Cave Mansion in xx year.
But they didn't understand it well enough, so they named it Tai Chi.
Zhou Li'an hung up the necklace for his people, and the people in front of him were moved to tears and cried loudly——
"My Lord, woo woo woo, I praise you, praise the balance!"
When he cried loudly, Zhou Li'an added another thing, "Balance exists among all things. I am watching the people of Balance all the time."
The man looked down at the wooden carving in his hand, dumbfounded.
The three-dimensional wood carving depicts our Lord's balanced appearance lifelike.
Just after he stepped down from the stage, he excitedly raised the wooden sculpture and shouted: "Idol! This is the idol given to me by my Lord!"
Once the news spread, the blessing scene became more and more excited.
Countless people shed tears of gratitude, trembled all over, and shouted praises with their cheeks burning.
Zhou Li'an looked at the enthusiastic faces facing the statues and felt a little flustered for no reason...
"Probably, no one would dare to blaspheme against my face, right?"
Hiss.
He shook his head violently to eliminate distracting thoughts.
Zhou Li'an did not order the ceramic model because he was afraid that future generations would conduct component testing and find loopholes in the process and material composition.
Solid wood carvings are different. It is now one year after the equilibrium is reached. When the equilibrium is 400 years, if these wood carvings are preserved, they will have been polished by the polish of time and will be antiques.
The wood used for wood carvings is all North American black walnut.
Domestic wood is imported in large quantities from North America, so the people of the future generations will really need someone to take the trouble to do composition testing. These wood carving materials also come from North America.
The blessing lasted for five full days.
For five days, Zhou Li'an did nothing. Every time he returned to the living world, he only came to eat, then fell into a deep sleep. After waking up, he continued to bring blessings to the more than 17,000 people.
The process is extremely arduous.
Because it cannot be a mechanical action, you need to keep smiling and communicate cordially with the people.
In other words, the great cause has won people's hearts.
More than 10,000 fanatical believers will become super missionaries who brainwash other surrendered tribes in the future.
March 16th.
A large twin-engine aircraft lands at Hood Farm.
The manager of the flying club was very suspicious. This residence did not match Zhou Li'an's status level as he imagined.
Is it low-key?
But being low-key among Chinese people has long been a thing of the past.
Native-born immigrants, such as Wang Defa, keep a low profile because they have already integrated into the United States and become Americans;
In recent years, a large number of domestic second-generation and investment immigrants have arrived in the United States, and the low-key impression of Europeans and Americans towards Chinese has long been overturned.
Even the gangsters on the street know that instead of robbing white people, it is better to attack Chinese and Asian people.
If you rob a white person, the case will be serious.
What about the latter? Their status is not as good as theirs!
The most ridiculous thing is that in Tu'ao, surveillance cameras are scarce, and the police don't bother to deal with thefts of less than 10,000 yuan, because even if they trace them, they can't find any clues. Some thieves focus on wealthy Asians.
They were forced to have no choice but to set up a mutual aid association there. There were also big bosses who encountered such incidents after immigrating and regretted it.
He said that transferring to Australian citizenship is the worst decision in his life. If an individual wants to deregister, the procedures are not to mention the troublesome process.
The population of Tu'ao is scarce. I've said that after so many years of developed social welfare, you can just run away? The efficiency of doing things is so impressive.
Back to business.
The manager's surprise was unexpected, but he did not dare to underestimate or neglect him.
Do you think this ruthless person who spent 128,000 US dollars on the license examination is a poor person?
Not to mention, when it comes to buying a plane, Zhou Li'an's calmness is definitely not something that can be achieved by so-called acting skills.
This manager is a talented person who has read countless people.
After the delivery, he also invited Zhou Li'an to go to the city for dinner, but he declined, "There's no need to eat. Please help me contact the source of the model I'm interested in. It's best to have it in stock; I'll sign the contract within half a month."
Because Lao Wang called me to urge me that the fur inventory has bottomed out and will be shipped soon.
The proficiency of workers has improved this month. Because it is piecework work, workers are willing to work harder and get more.
For Lao Wang, the faster the leather production is, the higher the income will be.
Anyway, Zhou Sheng had already told him not to worry about the supply of goods. Of course Lao Wang would be happy to earn more.
After hearing this, the manager was overjoyed. Although he had never met Lao Wang, he had the same groveling attitude as Lao Wang.
"Sikorsky always has stock in stock. If it's Eurocopter...oh, no, it's hard to say about Airbus. Those two are top-notch products. Sometimes there is supply, and sometimes we need to queue up..."
"Of course, if the letter of intent can be signed, the sales company will give priority to it."
Zhou Li'an laughed and told him to get lost.
"I haven't figured out the source of the goods yet. You tell me to sign a letter of intent? This is not in short supply like Gulfstream. How many top rich people are willing to buy high-risk aircraft? Most of them are orders for engineering aircraft! If you can't handle it, I'll find another company.
That’s it.”
As soon as these words came out, the manager knew that this was not the type with stupid people and a lot of money, so he quickly changed his words and said that he would help inquire and call him when the time came.
After seeing the manager off, Zhou Li'an drove into the city.
Knock on Jonah's door.
"Are you back?" Jonah stood at the door, one foot still pulling the dog that wanted to rush out and run wild.
Zhou Li'an looked behind him again.
The sleepy girl was coming out of the bedroom and staring at him quietly.
At this moment.
Whoosh.
Jonah's figure disappeared on the spot.
The restless dog was stunned.
I don’t understand why the people who were blocking its progress just a second ago have just evaporated???
When Patricia saw this scene, she was like an ice cube thrown into boiling water. The cold and frozen surface melted at a speed visible to the naked eye until there was no trace.
Her cheeks were covered with a color like boiled red shrimp, her breathing was rapid, and her eyes were trembling constantly.
"Pack up, it's time to go! You have two days to prepare. The 19th is Sunday. I have seen the itinerary arranged by the regional church..."
"Father Spencer will attend the mass ceremony and baptize the new Christians on that day."
[ps. In order to avoid misunderstandings, spoilers are provided in advance, and no one will be brought into the tribe. Please rest assured. There will be a big update this month. I don’t ask for anything else. I just ask the babies not to skip the subscription and praise everyone. The next update will be later.]
