Southern Islands, Bango Island.

With the warm sea breeze blowing, the verdant green leaves swaying in the sun, and the shade of the trees dyed a bright light green, a large ship docked at the island's simple pier, gently undulating with the waves.

"Lord Black, this is the island, you see, this is the title deed issued by the Alliance."

"Okay, have you surveyed the island?"

"I've surveyed, there are no big animals on the island, almost all of them are trees, and when we bought them four years ago, we fell in love with these excellent white tear trees, and their materials are very good, suitable for making furniture."

"Originally, it was going to be harvested this year, but since most of the people have moved to shipbuilding-related projects, it has not been moved."

"Very good, don't move in the future, don't cut down these white tear trees, and consult the arborist to see if you can plant them on a large scale."

"Yes, sir."

A young man in armor stood at the bow of the ship, commanding some guards and craftsmen, and then several hundred people got off the ship and began to move. They are the vanguard troops, and they will open up and build a number of houses and living facilities to lay a good foundation for the follow-up teams.

As a matter of secrecy, the personnel on the island are not allowed to leave for at least three years, and other required resources and goods will be transported by a special fleet, and the personnel of the fleet and the personnel of the island cannot meet, only the personnel of the port can be transferred, and the port personnel are not allowed to leave the island.

After the subordinates began to act one after another, a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar walked up to the bow of the boat and stood beside him to ask.

"Blake, is this the kind of white tear tree that Mistress Lacey is talking about?"

"Yes, some time ago we mailed in some of the samples we were looking for, and Mistress Lacey wrote back and said that this is what we were looking for."

"What the hell is this kind of tree for, Lord Lacey values it so much." The scholar dressed up is still a little puzzled, he has recently consulted a lot of information, in addition to the peculiar sap, this kind of tree also has a better wood texture, suitable for mid-range furniture.

"I don't know, but since the eldest lady ordered it, it definitely won't be wrong."

"Yes, I won't speculate, the eldest lady said that she will send detailed information later, and the craftsmen will be in place one after another. The information on the magic steam turbine left by the eldest lady before leaving can also be tested on this island. ”

"I heard that the ironclad battleship of Frost Rose has been tilted a lot of resources recently, and it is progressing very quickly, and we can't afford to lag behind." The man dressed as a scholar continued.

"Regarding matters related to closure and secrecy, Lord Lacey has repeatedly emphasized, and then I will arrange for the guards to set up an isolation and blockade area in the port, and in the next three years, Master Lund, you and your apprentices are afraid that you will be a little wronged."

"Haha, this is nothing, I am very excited to be valued by Lord Lacey, and to be entrusted with such a heavy responsibility, even if I am locked up on the island for 10 years, I think it is worth it." What could be more exciting than the man in the scholar's robe, looking at the shady island with his hands behind his back, full of pride, a new core of power, the key to changing the world in his hands?

Lund himself is also from Rourna, but in a small faction, he had to leave to come to Verga in his early years due to lack of resources, and was recruited by Karitas, but he has not been famous before, because in terms of alchemy, the importance of knowledge and experience is still above talent. And because he was born into a small faction, coupled with his distance from the technologically developed Rourna, he has been stagnant all these years.

It wasn't until last year that Lorain Hill gave him a lot of ancient materials that he began to study and move forward again, and although he was called a master in the Chamber of Commerce, he knew that he was still far from the level of a master.

But even if you are not a master, with the support of the resources of the Chamber of Commerce, coupled with the excellent knowledge and guidance of Miss Lacey, now you can create things according to the drawings, even if you are not a genius, you can complete those great things that Master Roulna could not achieve in his life.

It is never one or two geniuses who change the world, but something that can be popularized by millions of people, benefited countless people, and is mass-produced and promoted.

The magic steam turbine that Lorain Hill had designed and conceived before was about to be tested and found that it was missing something important, that is, industrial lubricants and rubber. The tightness between the metals, riveting, is too direct, not only the air tightness is poor, but also easy to wear, there will be various problems after a long time, and the frequency of parts damage and replacement is very high.

This leads to high maintenance costs, and skilled alchemists are often on the side to maintain them, so alchemical creations have always been difficult to popularize.

Last year, before she left, Loren Hill asked the Chamber of Commerce to search the south for a tree with white sap and mail a sample to her, only recently did she receive a sample of the rubber tree, known locally as the White Tear Tree.

Rubber tree is a natural source of rubber, and rubber is widely used, not only in terms of industrial structure, but also in the production of tires and the sealing of ships.

With it, the power of industry can truly shine, and steel and flame will propel the world into a new era.

The Karitas Chamber of Commerce will manufacture rubber on the island and test the first magic steam turbine.

Amenas, Temple College of Contemplation.

A small courtyard in the middle of nowhere, separated from the stone street by a black iron fence, with a beautiful little house in the courtyard, white and blue stone bricks that look like shells to the touch, and a small garden with some purple lavender planted under the curved windows. There are not many people here, and the yard is very quiet.

Squeak –

The wooden door of the house opened from the inside, and a silver-haired girl in a light blue dress walked out, with a pair of eyes as blue and transparent as the sky, and light-colored shoes, and walked around the courtyard a little.

It's very spacious, the girl thought to herself, not only a small garden, but also a well, and with all the furniture in the house, there is no problem in living for a long time.

This silver-haired girl is naturally Lorain Hill, but at present, she will call herself Lohir to the outside world, after all, after Clencia's publicity, it is too conspicuous to use her full name.

And this is her other dormitory, which seems to be supposed to be where the teacher lived.

After walking around, Lorain Hill familiarized himself with the house, locked the door, and went out to walk around again before he realized his current location.

After the location is determined, it will also be used as a future reception location, which will facilitate contact with the Tisilan Mountains, Clancy, and Carites, after all, there are too many people in the central school building, which is very inconvenient.

And tomorrow is the official start of the class, I don't know who I will meet.
