The warm sea breeze kept blowing, the green leaves kept swaying in the sun, and the shades of the trees in the forest were also dyed with a bright light green. A large ship docked at the simple pier of the island, undulating slightly with the waves.
"Master Black, this is the island. You see, this is the title certificate issued by the alliance."
"Okay, has anyone surveyed the island?"
"We have already surveyed it. There are no big animals on the island. It is almost all trees. When our chamber of commerce bought it four years ago, we were interested in these excellent white tear trees. Their material is very good and suitable for making furniture."
"Originally, we were planning to harvest and cut down trees this year, but since most people have switched to shipbuilding-related projects, we haven't done anything yet."
"Very good. Don't touch them anymore. Don't cut down these white tear trees. And ask an arborist to see if they can be planted on a large scale."
"Yes, sir."
A young man in armor stood on the bow of the ship, giving orders to some guards and craftsmen, and then hundreds of people got off the ship and started to take action. They were the vanguard and would build a number of houses and living facilities to prepare for the follow-up.
The team takes the front position.
As a matter of confidentiality, the people on the island are not allowed to leave for at least 3 years. Other required resources and items will be transported by a special fleet. The fleet personnel and the people on the island cannot meet, and can only be transferred by personnel at the port.
Port personnel are also not allowed to leave the island.
After his subordinates began to take action, a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar walked onto the bow of the ship and stood beside him to ask.
"Blake, is this the White Tears Tree that Lady Lacey is talking about?"
"Yes, we mailed some of the samples we were looking for some time ago, and Ms. Lacey wrote back saying that this is what we are looking for."
"What is the use of this kind of tree that Lord Lacey values so much?" The man dressed as a scholar is still a little confused. He has checked a lot of information recently. In addition to the strange sap, this tree also has a better wood texture, which is suitable for
Make mid-range furniture.
"I don't know either, but since the eldest lady has given the order, it will definitely not be wrong."
"Yes, I won't make random guesses. The eldest lady said that detailed information will be sent later, and the craftsmen will also arrive one after another. The magic steam turbine information that the eldest lady left before leaving can also be tested on this island.
.”
"I heard that a lot of resources have been allocated to Frost Rose's armored battleship recently. It is progressing very quickly, and we cannot fall behind." The man dressed as a scholar continued.
"Regarding matters related to sealing and confidentiality, Master Lacey has repeatedly emphasized that I will arrange for guards to set up an isolation and blockade area at the port. In the next three years, Master Lunde, I am afraid that you and your apprentices will be a little wronged.
.”
"Haha, this is nothing. I am very excited to be valued by Lady Lacey and given such an important task. Even if I am imprisoned on the island for 10 years, I think it is worth it." The man in the scholar's robe put his hands behind his back and looked at
Looking at this tree-covered island, full of pride, a new core of power, and the key to changing the world is about to be achieved in one's own hands. Is there anything more exciting than this?
Lund himself was also from Lurna, but he was in a small faction. In his early years, he had to leave to develop in Verga due to lack of resources, so he was recruited by Carites. However, his reputation had not been prominent before, because of the lack of knowledge in alchemy.
Experience is more important than talent. However, because he was born in a small faction and was far away from the technologically advanced Lurna, he has been stagnant in these years.
It wasn't until last year that Lorraine Hill gave him a lot of ancient information, and he started to study and move forward again. Although the chamber of commerce respected him as a master, he knew that he was still far from the level of a master.
But so what if you are not a master. With the support of the Chamber of Commerce resources and Miss Lacey's excellent knowledge and guidance, now you can create things according to the drawings. Even if you are not a genius, you can accomplish what Master Luerna has been unable to achieve in his entire life.
great deeds.
What changes the world is never one or two geniuses, but something that can be popularized by tens of millions of people, benefit countless people, and be mass-produced and promoted.
Lorraine Hill had previously designed and conceived the magic steam turbine, but it was only during the testing stage that he discovered that it lacked some important things, that is, industrial lubricants, rubber, sealing between metals, and riveting, which were too direct and not only airtight
It has poor performance and is easy to wear. It will cause various problems over time. The frequency of parts damage and replacement is very high.
This will lead to high maintenance costs, and skilled alchemists must always be maintained on the side, so it is always difficult to popularize alchemical creations.
Before Lorraine Hill left last year, she asked chamber of commerce personnel to search for a tree with white sap in the south and mail the sample to her. It was only recently that she received a sample of the rubber tree, which is also known as the white tear tree locally.
The rubber tree is a natural source of rubber. Rubber is used in a wide range of applications, not only in industrial structures, but also in tire manufacturing and ship sealing. It plays an irreplaceable role.
With it, the power of industry can truly shine, and steel and flame will push the world into a new era.
The Kalites Chamber of Commerce will manufacture rubber on this island and test the first magic steam turbine.

Emenas, Academy of the Temple of Contemplation.
There is a remote small courtyard in the college. A black iron fence separates the courtyard from the stone street. There is a beautiful small house in the courtyard. The white bluish stone bricks feel like a shell. Under the curved windows
It is a small garden with some purple lavender planted in it. There are not many people here and the yard is very quiet.
Squeak——
The wooden door of the house was opened from the inside, and a silver-haired girl wearing a light blue skirt came out. She had a pair of blue and transparent eyes like the sky, wearing light-colored shoes, and walked around the yard a few times.
It's very spacious, the girl thought. Not only does it have a small garden, but it also has a well. In addition, the house is fully furnished, so it's no problem to live there for a long time.
This silver-haired girl is naturally Lorraine Hill, but for now, she will call herself Lorraine Hill to the outside world. After all, after the publicity of Crancia, using the full name is too conspicuous.
This is also her other dormitory, and it seems that it was originally the place where the teacher lived.
After walking around, Lorraine Hill got familiar with the house. After locking the door, he went out and walked around again before he knew his current specific location.
After the location is determined, this will also be used as a receiving location in the future to facilitate communication with the Tisilan Mountains, Crancia, and Carites. After all, there are too many people in the central school building, which is very inconvenient.
And classes will officially start tomorrow, and I don’t know who I will meet again.
