"If we were to take this route to transport locomotives from the North Bay to Colasburg, the island of Colas, near the Bagel Strait, would be much closer to the destination, and the island itself would have a large port and dockyard, as well as the North Sea Fleet to escort the freighters, and would be able to take full advantage of this convenience for the development of long-distance trade."

Roland revealed his next business plan to Lyubov and others.

"I also plan to set up a shipping company on Koras Island, and first load the locomotive and sail south to the Coral Sea, and then return to the North Gulf with supplies and commodities that are lacking in the North Bay region, such as rice, medicinal herbs, soaps, clocks, mercury mirrors, and high-grade timber from the Far South, such as magic crystal ore, silk and spices from Parnia, and wine and olive oil from the sea blue, which will take about three to four months and make a lot of money."

After listening to his explanation, Jonathan had a clear idea of choosing a factory site, but new questions arose.

"Your Highness Roland, it takes a long time to produce locomotives, but I heard that the government of Kolas has issued public bonds for the construction of the railway, and we have not even built a locomotive factory here, and the infrastructure such as rails, wagons and platforms over there has been invested in the construction with great fanfare, and the result will be that the repaired railway has no locomotive traction, and there is a lot of maintenance cost every day if it is vacant, isn't it a waste?"

"It doesn't matter if we don't have a locomotive, we can temporarily replace the locomotive with animal power to pull the carriage, just like when we used the Lothmon to pull the train cannon on the Kitland Plateau, of course, the transportation efficiency is not as good as that of using the magic guide locomotive to pull the train, but it is much higher than road transportation." Roland announced the good news that the Dragon City Ranch had successfully improved the physique of the Los Beast, so that there would be no technical obstacles to pulling the train with animal power.

Jonathan was skeptical about the viability of the plan, and Matvey affirmed Roland's expedient solution with the eyes of a railway expert. In fact, he had used a similar alternative fifteen years earlier, except that it was horses that were used to pull the train, which was far less efficient than Lothmon. Given the difficulties in reality, it is impossible to produce locomotives in three to five years to meet the needs of railway construction, and this expedient measure will have to continue for a long time.

Patent examination is a troublesome task. When a patent office obtains an application, it must contact experts in the relevant field to give an office opinion, and it takes at least half a year from the filing of the application to the reply. However, there is a saying called "special affairs", since His Royal Highness the Prince personally submitted the application, accompanied by Ms. Lyubov, the review process can of course be saved and fast, and a reply will be given within a week, and the result will be satisfactory to Roland, needless to say.

It was already dark when he left the patent office, and Lyubov suggested that Roland change into a dress before going to the banquet. On the territory of the queen's sister, Roland is of course a guest, listening to Lyubov dress him up particularly handsome according to his own preferences, holding his hand in front of celebrities from all walks of life in the North Sea Federation, causing a sensation and applause.

In the lavish banquet hall, where clothes and temples were intertwined, Roland took Lyubov's hand and shook hands with the gentlemen who were eager to brush their faces in front of his eyes. There was no need to mention the routine entertainment, and after the dinner, Roland and his party stayed at the luxury hotel arranged by Lyubov. In fact, Roland himself did not stay in the hotel room that night, and as soon as he had finished washing, he received a magical text message from Lyubov, inviting him to go for a walk on the beach under the moonlight.

Roland, of course, gladly accepted the invitation, but did not sneak back to his hotel room until the next morning. As for what the hell he did with Lyubov all night, whether he was just holding hands and walking and chatting, or doing something more inappropriate for children, it is unknown. However, judging from the nourished and radiant state of the "Storm Queen" the next morning, it would be too much of a vacation to really walk all night......

Roland spent three days in the North Bay, the first two days in Port Whitegull, visiting the local factory in the company of Jonathan and Wittgenstein, to make sure that the raw materials needed to produce the Magic Locomotive were available locally, and that the price was as good as possible.

After the supply link was arranged, in the early morning of April 19, Roland and his party jumped on the morning ferry and rushed to Koras Island.

Long before coming to North Bay, Roland informed Helena Drake of the plan to build a locomotive factory, and asked her to choose a site for the factory and recruit workers to prepare for the construction of the factory.

The former governor of Koras, Quintilian, had gone to the capital to serve as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Helena had to shoulder the military and political responsibilities, and as the Admiral of the North Sea Fleet and the Governor of Koras Island, she was too busy to entrust the administrative affairs of the island to Sir Edric.

Compared with the increasingly densely populated and economically prosperous strait hub of Kolas Island, the "Eagle Island" located in the inner side of the North Bay is far from the same in terms of population, territorial area, strategic value and economic base.

Roland returned to his maritime territory as the lord of Koras Island this time, in addition to assisting Jonathan and Leonid in the preparation of the locomotive factory, another important task was to officially appoint Sir Adric as the governor of Kolas Island, giving people a rightful title.

Sir Edric's sons and daughters all serve in the Koras Air Force, and they don't really care about the title of governor, and it doesn't matter if they don't take a salary to work for nothing, but now that he has been officially appointed as the governor of Koras Island, his sense of responsibility forces him to arrest His Royal Highness the prince to carry out the part of a governor - ask for funds!

"Your Royal Highness Roland, don't say polite words, I want to report bad news to you!"

Roland was nibbling on a lobster, and when he heard the lord say such a thing with a cold face, he hurriedly dropped the lobster claw in his hand and asked worriedly, "Sir, what's the bad news?" Are the young eagles on our island infected with the plague, or are they being targeted by pirates who don't open their eyes? ”

Sir Adric couldn't help laughing, shook his head and replied: "Where did Your Highness think about it, it's not that serious, our falconry base has a very good development momentum, and now we can send two hundred adult giant eagles to the air force who have completed training, and the sea is also calm, and occasionally there are suspicious ships, and they will be driven away immediately by the fleet commanded by Lady Helena, from the North Bay to the meteorite ocean, and there are no pirate forces that pose a threat to the island for the time being." ”
