In the scorching summer sun, the air is filled with a faint smell of sea salt, and on the shores of Byron Bay, a dozen huge contraptions that have never appeared before are showing people their terrifying abilities.

The "sque......ak" was accompanied by the sound of the engine turning, the steel cables were pulled straight, and the huge concrete bricks were hoisted up and thrown into the bay, and as the machinery worked, a new pier was built.

Efficiency has never been so dazzling as it is today, and for the first time the mortal kingdom has grown so rapidly, yesterday it was a quiet bay, today it has become a huge construction site.

After surveying, it was a very good port, and the Kingdom of Norsland was ready to build Byron Bay into a giant port to support its increasingly large sea transportation. After all, purely in terms of capacity, sea freight is still the cheapest and cheapest mode of transportation.

"I think Princess Isabella will be shocked by what he sees when he returns!" Standing on the brand new port terminal, the Northland official triumphantly showed off to the engineers beside him.

He did have the capital to show off, ten days ago this was just an ordinary harbor, but now it is a brand new harbor that is larger than the old port of Byron Bay. When the construction of this harbor was carried out, the placement of hoisting equipment was taken into account, and more advanced channels were planned.

In the docks that have just been built, where there are no sheds, hundreds of boatmen are working hard, and they are putting together the best timber according to the drawings and turning it into a qualified giant ship.

These giant ships are assembled according to a template, and each step is determined in strict accordance with the standards. These large sailing ships could carry a considerable amount of supplies at one time, and they were born with the purpose of going to the south to buy enough supplies to supply more and more material needs.

Almost every corner of the kingdom of Norsland, which is in full swing, has begun to need supplies, large machinery needs supplies, and each of these huge super-sailing ships is a transportation giant, and they can be said to be the largest sailing ships made by mortals in this world so far. Their speed can be comparable to that of a conventional warship.

Covering these new sailing transports were new warships built in the old port area of Byron Bay. Most of these warships were cargo holds, not so much warships as armed smuggling ships that were once all the rage on Earth.

They are equipped with a minimum firepower configuration and are cheap and require only cheap canvas and wood. Because they don't take up too many resources, they are the first choice for sea routes in the Kingdom of Norsland.

The next time Isabella returned, she would be able to see a truly large fleet: because there was no need for so many guns, as many as 10 of these sailing ships, called "frigates", had already been built.

Combined with three real warships in Isabella's hands, he has a powerful fleet. And the only task of this fleet is to protect the transport fleet and purchase a large amount of supplies from the elven kingdom.

Of course, there is another task - to make the elven kingdom realize its disparity in strength, and honestly sell supplies to the Norsland kingdom, without any tricks. Isabella seems to prefer this additional small mission to the escort mission, and this time he brought enough shells, and the coast of the Elven Kingdom Empire seemed to be unlucky.

"There are five new dockyards to be built here, and they turn out to be steel warships. The magistrate exhaled and exclaimed, "I am fifty years old this year, and I have never heard of ironclads in my life. ”

He looked at his men and said word by word: "The greatest wish of my life is that Byron Bay can flourish, and every morning there are more than ten fishing boats lined up to go out to fish...... I thought it was the most beautiful view. ”

"That day, someone came and said that we had got the first money and could build a new big fishing boat...... I can't believe it's true. It wasn't until I saw the boatmen get to work and the timber was sent to the dockyard that I knew it was all true. When he mentioned these past events, he had a faint smile on his face.

"You don't understand, before that day, I always thought that the so-called Norsland Kingdom family was the same as Berman, and Byron Bay just changed owners, and it was still the same. "Those memories of the past were as if they were in front of his eyes.

The hardships of that time really stuck in his memory, but then the good days began to come—just like everything in front of him now, everywhere there were construction sites, everywhere busy figures, everywhere happy people, everywhere there were cheers of victory.

"But, after that day, I knew I was wrong. A saltworks were opened in Byron Bay, and it began to become rich. We built one fishing boat after another, and one was better than the other, and one was bigger than the other. The old mayor smiled at the mention of this.

He remembered how he had stood on the dock every morning and looked forward to it, as if it had happened yesterday. At that time, he was no longer young, but he still hoped for a miracle that would free his hometown from hunger and despair.

Later, his wish came true, abruptly and truly: "During that time, I stood on the dock every morning and watched ten fishing boats go out to sea in a procession. Then I watched twenty fishing boats depart, and then I watched the endless white sails obscuring my view...... Now I don't go to the pier because I know I don't need to go to see it. ”

Thinking of this, he smiled at his assistant and sighed: "Who would have thought that the Kingdom of Norsland is different, it can turn Byron Bay into a paradise on earth! Our seafood can be sent to Tubao by train, and our dried fish are exported to Hanhai!"

"Our sea salt is already an indispensable commodity for the kingdom of Kurut, and the seafood we produce is His Majesty's favorite dinner! We can have so many warships, we can have dozens of transport ships. He said as he looked at the horizon in the distance, looking at the white sails there.

He hadn't seen any other famous port city, but in his opinion, the largest port city in the Elven Kingdom Empire was not as good as Byron Bay at this moment.

"Come back in a year's time, and I promise you'll have more to say. A young subordinate standing beside him smiled and comforted: "Our future will be better, this is what Your Majesty said!"
