Zhou Li'an spent 4 days teaching the lessons of Snow Girl and Cow Shit, and continued to leave new homework.
Mathematics is proficient by answering questions, and Niu Shi is a gifted child who knows how to apply what he has learned.
With the divine edict of enlightenment and the "Flying Creation" pie drawn by Zhou Li'an four days ago, the motivation for learning can be said to be equipped with a turbocharger.
Language learning means recognizing new words, copying them, and dictating them.
Zhou Li'an also extracted dozens of "Selected Excellent Compositions for Primary School Students" from the real world that did not contain realistic content, and gave them to Xue Nu for reading and appreciation, 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, enough for hundreds of balanced flowers to complete literacy.
Equilibrium 2 years, April 7th.
Zhou Li'an returned to the present world and started the second time acceleration.
It's a bit complicated, but we can win steadily.
Once the tribe encounters any changes, it will not be over-fermented for one month, leaving an opportunity to stop losses and save.
In the morning, buy tickets and head to Juarez.
Barbara acted quickly. She had already acquired 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 final plan.
Because it cannot be customized for tribesmen, the best combination of plate armor is an adjustable assembly. With modern industrial technology, it can do things that ancient craftsmanship cannot.
Finally, multiple prototypes are tested, material selection is completed, and mass production begins after the final draft is finalized.
Time is very tight, 6,000 sets need to be produced in about 3 months.
After all, there is another assessment before the expedition, which involves traveling 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 actual expedition standards, and the equipment must be complete.
…
Juárez, Processing Zone.
The tool factory is about the same size as a leather factory.
Outside the back door of the factory.
A mannequin dummy put on a complete set of plate armor, and a newly recruited operation team employee from Barbara, speaking English with a strong Spanish flavor, excitedly introduced the product to the big boss——
"Except for the breastplate and back armor, which are fixed plates, all other parts are movable splicing plates. The excess splicing plates can be removed to reduce the model according to the length of the individual's limbs. The standard version is designed with a maximum height of 180 centimeters to adapt 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 are designed to reduce weight, they are made of alloy..."
"Oh, by the way, boss, so we are making props for a large-scale ancient war movie, right? Oh my god, 6,000 sets of plate armor, that's terrifying. It must be a big scene of fighting! But now they don't all use special effects.
"Iron Man kind of..."
As we talked about the topic, we got sidetracked.
Zhou Li'an glanced at Barbara, and the black aunt rubbed her noisy ears and sighed, "Several of our factories have employees who don'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 top score in the town, I couldn't understand what the English teacher was saying..."
"I always thought Spanish was the universal language."
"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 four factories."
Mexico, which is adjacent to the United States, has a shockingly low English penetration rate. Sometimes when you check into a hotel and speak English, the front desk will either look confused or ignore you...
I am never proud of knowing another foreign language.
After Barbara finished complaining, she waved her hand at the clerk, "That's enough, Barbatos, shut your mouth and go get the tools you prepared."
Now it's time to start testing.
Barbatos was not offended. When he heard that he was going to get tools, he ran away happily, probably because he wanted to show off to the big boss.
Only then did Zhou Li'an step forward to observe the plate armor.
The overall design naturally references the European Middle Ages, but adds a modern aesthetic to eliminate the bulkiness and make it appear lighter.
Modern synthetic metal materials are strong enough, so there is no need to add mass to increase protection. Even in ancient times, when steel was not purified enough, plate armor was invincible. With the face and helmet lowered, there was almost no blind spot except for precise cuts on joints.
The only drawback is that the wearer will be captured alive if exhausted.
The maximum wearing height of the plate armor is 180cm. People who are too tall can wear it, but it will cause the gaps in the plate armor to be too large and expose vital parts.
Before designing, Zhou Li'an provided standard data.
The average height of North American Aboriginal adult men is around 172-176, and they are designed according to this size standard.
The members of the Balanced Knights will be selected to be as uniform in height 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 operations team who came to watch the fun.
Barbara continued, "The long knives and spearheads are samples made according to your material selection standards. We also went to the agricultural tool market to purchase axes and hammers."
"Boss, Ms. Barbara, am I going to start?" Barbatos was extremely excited.
Barbara nodded expressionlessly.
First, he stabbed with a spear equipped with a spearhead. After a few blows, only scratches were left on the breastplate. Then he chopped with a long knife, and the results were the same.
Next comes the ax.
After a few hard hits, slight dents began to appear, but overall it was fine.
Zhou Li'an said: "Take it harder, treat it as your enemy, and use as much strength as you want to kill him."
Barbatos hit hard again.
Bang!!
The ax was released directly from the hand, and a relatively obvious dent appeared.
Zhou Li'an stepped forward to check, there were no cracks, the pit was two fingers wide in diameter, and the damage was harmless.
On the contrary, Barbatos kept shaking his hands, cursing and saying in Spanish, 'Damn it, it hurts me so much!'
The test was perfect.
Zhou Li'an asked Barbara: "What about the cost?"
"$400 a set."
Hey, cheaper than expected.
The handmade customizations and multi-hand antiques I saw on second-hand websites often start at more than 1,000, and the unit is of course US dollars.
It is obvious that the factory investment was done correctly.
Now you can build a cavalry army for 2.4 million U.S. dollars, which is great value for money.
"Let's start mass production. I'm also 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 does not protect against blunt blows, and is only used as a lining for plate armor to prevent stab wounds to the joints.
Frontal piercing is impossible, and the ring-mounted high-density chain armor has amazing defensive power.
Chain armor also needs to be equipped for horses, and the only thing that needs to be considered is the laying of inner leather pads to prevent surface damage to the horses.
The next day, Barbara rented a horse from a local farm in the suburbs and brought it for dressing testing. She finally determined the specifications and started production.
The matter is not over yet.
Barbara contacted a local milk powder company in Mexico to deliver milk powder and purchase milk powder.
Forget about baby formula.
How many people ate ordinary milk powder to cook rice porridge when they were young, and still grew so big? Ordinary milk powder is just not easy for infants and young children to absorb. When the time comes, it will be diluted and eaten less.
Normally, breastfeeding is the priority for newborns, and milk powder is the second choice.
Adults and older children can consume milk every day to stay strong.
In addition, grain processing plants have also begun to reserve cornmeal and wheat flour to meet emergency needs.
Then came the wood carving factory…
Zhou Li'an gritted his teeth and took out a wood sculpture of his own, as well as photos for reference, and handed them to Barbara.
The old lady, who was habitually suffering from facial paralysis, finally couldn't stand it any longer, "Boss, are you serious? 100,000 sets? Your own...statue?"
"Barbara, please pay attention to your responsibilities and identity!!"
"Yes, sir, as you wish."
Three days in a row.
Zhou Li'an is extremely busy.
Of course, the second time acceleration had already been completed. When he returned to the villa where Jonah and his daughter lived to rest at night, he locked the door and traveled through time.
Following the old rules, he listened to the report from the snow girl and the group of elders, and rushed to Owens Valley at dawn to check on the condition of the horses.
In the next few nights, I continued to make up lessons for Niu Shi and Xue Nu.
Equilibrium station.
Everything progresses in an orderly manner, which also allows me to truly experience the fun of cheating... A month's time span is completed in one day, and every time it comes, I can witness the prosperity of the equilibrium at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Today, March 16th.
The third time acceleration is activated.
May of Equilibrium 2 is heading towards June.
The system is temporarily blocked for a day and I continue to focus on factory matters.
The milk powder arrived in 12 containers with a total volume of 600 tons. When purchasing, we negotiated with the manufacturer to pack it into 100kg bags.
This amount is enough to consume more than 30,000 balanced people for three years.
600 tons of milk powder, with a total price of more than 2.4 million US dollars. This is Zhou Li'an's choice of higher quality products for the sake of the health of his people.
It seems that the burden is very easy now, but if the population exceeds one million in the future... 24 million yuan of milk powder will be needed a year.
Well, not everyone can afford milk powder.
It will eventually become a luxury product and be provided to those who need it more.
For example, scholars who practice the laws of balance in various disciplines use it to supplement their brains.
Such as the leadership of each department.
It is obvious that by then, class differentiation will eventually 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 cannot be no dignity or inferiority.
Of course, the transition to the development period is only temporary. As the Kingdom of God continues to enter a new era, the problem of material shortage will soon be solved.
Nowadays, dairy cows are released and cattle farms are launched.
The development of animal husbandry and agriculture is a necessary process, otherwise the state's population of more than 30 million cannot be fed by Zhou Li'an's transportation and delivery of supplies.
This is why the Balance Station will start planting hybrid rice from now on to improve the level of agriculture as soon as possible.
After the problem of food and clothing is solved, the process of industrialization can be advanced.
Although there is a long road ahead, thinking so much is just a distraction. All we need to do is make one step at a time, become bigger and stronger, and a balanced and bright future will eventually come.
Zhou Li'an asked Barbara to send the milk powder to the import and export trade zone together with the cornmeal and wheat flour stored in the grain processing factory.
Barbara didn't need to ask why. The boss had already said that he was going to Africa to do good things for others.
There must be a restless and boiling heart beneath her dark face.
The boss is a good person.
Spend millions to save her old black compatriots.
That night, Zhou Li'an drove to the trade area. On the pretext of inspecting the goods, he went to the container storage area and put all the materials into the [system portable space].
the next day.
The system is unblocked and the third time acceleration is completed.
Zhou Li'an took two sets of packed plate armor and chain armor and flew back to Oregon.
It is not convenient to live in Juarez. If you travel back in time, you need to avoid Jonah, his daughter, and Wang Defa. Although the former is already aware of his mysterious power, knowing it and witnessing it with his own eyes are two different concepts.
Patricia just paid it off, Jonah always felt a little unnatural when facing Zhou Li'an these days.
After returning home.
Zhou Li'an returned the plate armor and chain armor to the system, and traveled through time again.
When Oregon was still in the cold spring, this side of parallel time and space had already entered summer, and the time reached June of the year 2 of Equilibrium.
Morning time.
In the center of the station, the mountain climbers and the elders gathered around our Lord and 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.
The snow girl asked from the side: "Master, what are these?"
She now habitually communicates in Chinese and regards it as an honor.
Only cow shit can understand the others, while the rest are confused and anxious, wishing they could learn the language given by the true God.
"This is armor, which can protect you from swords and spears, and is not afraid of stone axes."
"Yuki-onna, let your father put it on."
The snow girl nodded, then switched to Modoc and gave instructions about climbing the mountain.
Niu Shi was quite looking forward to this scene.
He understands the words of our Lord.
It can protect against sword damage and is not afraid of stone axes... This is another creation of the great true God.
When starting to put on the clothes when climbing the mountain, Zhou Li'an still needs to be on hand to give guidance, but it is impossible for a true god to change clothes for a humble citizen, so putting it on for the first time is quite time-consuming.
But compared with the orthodox medieval plate armor, today's modern improved version is already very easy to wear.
Medieval knights needed to train their followers. On the one hand, they were responsible for taking care of daily life and food, and on the other hand, they were responsible for helping the knight wear armor.
Changing armor is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and is no different than getting married.
When he was fully equipped for mountain climbing, he tried to take steps, with excitement on his face. He knew very well how sturdy this outfit was.
"Cow shit, use a knife... to chop me!!" Climbing the mountain shouted.
Without saying a word, Niu Shi picked up the long knife that his father had just put on the ground and started to chop it...
Bang!
The sound of gold and stone clashing sounded.
The long knife flew away in response and was bounced away.
Niu Shi Cliff used all his strength. If there was no existence of plate armor, now it must be a situation where the father is kind and the son is filial.
However, at this moment, everyone around him was stunned.
The long sword given by my lord only left a white mark on the armor, not even a hole appeared.
"My balance!! This, how is this possible!"
"Oh, my lord! What kind of treasure is this!!"
Everyone shouted in surprise, "Balance."
Zhou Li'an said: "This is the alloy armor created by me, and it will serve as the first-generation armed equipment of the Balance Knights!"
"The warriors who are selected into the Knights of Balance will receive a set of armor like this to open up territories for the Balance!!"
The words fell.
There was total silence.
Until a loud noise woke them up.
boom--
Climbing the mountain and kneeling down, but unable to bow down due to the plate armor, he could only bury his head deeply and shout in a trembling voice, "We, the Knights of Balance, have this god-given armor, and we will surely become the most powerful warriors in the world. No one else can."
You can look down!!
Praise my Lord, praise the balance!!”
As the praises came out, everyone knelt down and seemed to have seen the terrifying scene of 6,000 KIJI cavalry sweeping across the earth. It made people's blood boil!!
this day.
Inside the Balance Station, things were boiling again.
He wore plate armor when climbing mountains and refused to take it off. He demonstrated the sanctity of armor in front of his people countless times, and the remaining set was given to another chapter leader.
At night, the two even began to collide and fight in the open space in the center of the station. They did not reluctantly 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 looking forward to seeing each other.
If you wear such equipment, how can you still have enemies in this world?
When they returned home, they knelt in front of the statue of the true form of our Lord, Balance, and continued to pray and praise devoutly, praying that they could quickly obtain the indestructible armor given by the gods.
June 16, late at night.
Zhou Li'an flashed away and activated time acceleration for the fourth time.
One day passed in the blink of an eye.
The system was unblocked and he came through time travel.
The snow girl had already remembered the day, and even though it was already dark, she still waited in the hall of the temple without falling asleep.
When she saw Zhou Li'an coming, she immediately knelt down and said, "Master! You are finally back! Snow Girl has been missing you..."
As she was pouring out her heart, she saw Zhou Li'an looking toward the night sky to the west outside the door with deep eyes.
"Master, master?"
The snow girl followed and looked, not knowing what was in the dark night sky, but she knew very well that our Lord, the True God, could see through everything in the world.
"West, what happened?"
Zhou Li'an smiled and continued to look at the empty night, but said: "There is a purple energy rising in the west, waiting to be harvested!!"
