Just an hour after the alarm sounded, Liang En's vision finally appeared in a new sight besides the sea, the blue sky, and the white clouds: just in front of the ship on the right, several islands with hills on them appeared in front of him.

"This should be to the Farallon Islands." After picking up the instrument and making a brief survey, Liang quickly determined the identity of the island in front of him: a pocket archipelago west of San Francisco.

The archipelago is uninhabited, and the modern world has designated it as a habitat for whales, seals, sharks and many species of seabirds, and has established a wildlife sanctuary to prohibit idle people from landing.

Of course, few Americans in the modern world would choose to come to this place, after all, the United States dumped more than 4.75 million gallons of nuclear waste into the surrounding seas.

Fortunately, the sea was still safe, so he rounded the archipelago and continued eastward, until two hours later he saw rolling hills on the horizon in the distance.

"This should be it." After taking a few photographs and comparing them with a map, Liang was sure that he had indeed arrived at San Francisco, the second-largest city in Galisnia, on the other side of the modern world.

Approaching the shoreline, Liang En slightly adjusted his direction to the entrance of San Francisco Bay, where the Red Golden Gate Bridge, which had been destroyed in countless film and television dramas, no longer exists, and the location of the city presents a wild scenery.

San Francisco Bay is a vast bay that covers an area of 1,000 square kilometers and is surrounded by lush forests with many natural harbors.

Over the next afternoon, Liang used his sword technique to map the terrain of San Francisco Bay while flying through the air, occasionally falling to the ground to collect soil samples and annotate them on the map.

"Looks like this place is still a little too close to the sea." When night fell, Liang En, who returned to the ship, shook his head helplessly after testing the samples taken today.

This is because the levels of organic matter and elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in these samples are really low, but the proportion of chloride and sulfate, phosphate and carbonate is high.

In more secular terms, the land is barren and salinized, so it's not impossible to farm, but if you want to farm, the harvest won't be very good.

But this did not make him feel much frustrated, because if he remembered correctly, the real suitable place for farming in this area had to continue some distance east to the *** valley.

In the modern world, California is a large agricultural state, but its agricultural essence is not in the coastal plains, but in the central valley between the Coast Mountains and the Sierra Nevada.

The 48,000-square-kilometer north-south plain with a length of 725 kilometres and a width of 64 kilometres has become the agricultural center of the entire state of California, providing food supplies for the entire West Coast. ap.

Therefore, in Liang En's mind, this should be a fertile plain with no end in sight, but when he flew over the plain with his sword the next day, he found that the reality was completely different from what he imagined.

What appeared in Liang En's eyes was an almost desertified land, with only a small number of plants scattered on this land, and it was completely impossible to see what a rich agricultural land should look like.

"Looks like what I found before is true." Liang En looked at the sand after collecting some of the sand on the ground, because it was exactly the same as the records he had found from the modern world before he came.

According to the records found, Liang En began to conduct a comprehensive survey of the entire valley, and found that the north was significantly wetter than the desolation of the south, and even had a large surplus from the perspective of water resources.

These water resources are the basis for the United States to open up the entire plain in the modern world, and through decades of construction of the North-South Water Diversion Project, this land that was originally a desert or semi-desert has finally become a rich plain.

After using a series of means to confirm that the geography here is not much different from that of the other world, Liang En investigates a series of gold mines near San Francisco before leaving more places here to investigate.

"There are gold mines, there are fertile plains, there is no doubt about it

It's very valuable." As he sailed south, Liang thought, "The next search will have to pick a valuable focus."

Over the next half month, Liang explored San Diego, Los Angeles, Eureka, and Vancouver from south to north, and completed basic exploration work in these areas.

Unlike South America, there are no indigenous countries or city-states in North America except for Mexico, at most there are only some tribes, so Liang En only saw some indigenous people scattered throughout the exploration process.

Unlike the exiles from the city-states of South America that they had encountered before, the indigenous people of North America had their own language but no script, and they were significantly less civilized.

To take the simplest example, these natives are significantly inferior to the previous one in terms of clothing, weapons, and labor tools. At the same time, there is no professional division of labor for the same kind of production used by the remnants of the state.

With the exception of tribal chiefs and witch doctors, the rest of the division of labor was limited to hunting for men and gathering or making handicrafts for women.

On top of that, all of the tribes he met were hunter-gatherers for their survival, and none of them were engaged in farming or breeding.

In fact, even the Indians of North America were engaged in agricultural cultivation, for example, the Iroquois in the east mainly engaged in sedentary agriculture for their livelihood.

Even in the west, there were Dakota and Pueblo who were half-farming and half-hunting, but none of these tribes were present in the coastal areas.

As for the transcendent powers in this land, there are also a lot of them, but for security reasons, Liang En will bypass those areas where the transcendent reaction is stronger, so the information he has gathered in this regard is very vague.

For a whole month, Liang conducted a rough exploration of the West Coast of the United States in the modern world and the southern part of the West Coast of Canada, and mapped the searched materials with those of the modern world.

Thanks to the modern world, he was able to complete a comprehensive survey of the west coast of North America in just one month.

In addition to surveying, he also used a range of information from the modern world to complete important planning work, such as the planning of settlements and the entire water system.

And all of this has only one purpose, and that is to accumulate as many contribution points as possible, and to be prepared enough to receive a reward from the imperial court in the end.

"Whew—so much information."

After the ship slowly moved away from Vancouver, Liang En, who had counted the harvest, looked at the drawings that added up to more than three cubic meters and showed a surprised expression.

He used to quickly record anything he saw worthy of recording, and because of some alchemical means, he could even make three drawings in a second.

In this case, Liang En was naturally a little vague about how many drawings he had drawn and how much information he had prepared, so he was so surprised when everything was piled up.
