There are traces to be seen, and there are accounts to be calculated.

Kane's belief in the gods of Denes Bay is the latter.

Operate at a loss and fall into an embarrassment. Because there is too much faith borrowing.

He expected this, but he still chose to let go of it.

What if not? Those people are in dire need of a miracle to be saved.

Without a miracle, one-third will die, the disabled will eventually account for more than half of the total survivors, and the medicine will be depleted in a very short time.

Relying on the tens of thousands of surviving people, and so many burdens, even if the Denes Bay supplies are piled up, they cannot be effectively used in a short period of time.

The result is all death.

It is precisely because people vaguely understand this that they are particularly religious, because there is no other way but to ask God and worship Buddha.

Kane is reluctant to give people a false hope, and even less willing to give it but extinguish it with his own hands.

As a result, no one knew that Kane was on the shoulders of the mountain all of a sudden, similar to the risk of breaking the chain of funds, which appeared from the issuance of the rule that allowed faith to lend.

Of course, it is a good thing that believers have a high level of piety, but when you borrow money, it is a test of reserve divine power.

Does Kane have it?

No. He is still waiting for the power of faith to be collected and transformed into divine power before he can bestow divine magic.

But the believers could not afford to wait.

He is dying and in urgent need of medical attention. Disasters are frequent, and time is precious.

What to do?

There is no good way, and Kane can only gamble.

The purpose of gambling is to focus on treating the injured and strengthening their bodies.

Because if this is the case, the life and soul energy he harvested before, especially the life energy, can be distributed instead of the healing divine technique, and the divine power converted by the power of faith harvested will be used to deal with a small amount of other types of divine magic needs.

If the gamble is lost, Haoshen Faith may not go bankrupt directly, but from the perspective of income and expenditure, it is more likely that he will lose money.

Because that means that the salvation is not done as he expected, and it is still a situation of insufficient labor and a lot of burden. People are expected to die within the next two months. His investment behavior is tantamount to failure.

Fortunately, judging by the current trend, he won the bet.

However, the reserve of extraordinary strength is still tight, and he doesn't know if he can withstand the next consumption.

There are more than 100,000 survivors in Denes, and the belief in Haoshen has expanded rapidly because of its great power at a critical moment, driven by the human instinct of chasing up and down, more and more people have completed self-brainwashing and sincerely believe in Haoshen.

Every day, a large number of believers cross the line of piety level 3.

Of course, it is not that a believer chooses to borrow as soon as he has enough level. The wave of frostbite cures has largely passed. But the danger period has not passed.

He learned through the belief system that the people there had set up a self-help organization headed by a priest, and the remnants of the official and powerful people there had been completely swept away, and the most important thing was this self-help organization called the Faith Society.

They have already begun to build shelters, the first of which is to repair the Portal Tower and put it to use.

The use of energy towers in such a way as to overlap the range of thermal radiation is indeed a good way to combat climate disasters. However, natural disasters do not wait for people to be ready.

Therefore, luck is really important before people can establish a minimum self-insurance system.

Kane knew that once the natural disaster returned, there would be a large wave of borrowing and a lot of necrotic accounts. Therefore, it is also quite difficult for him to operate his faith. You can't afford to leave some money in case of unexpected expenses.

In this context, he is also afraid to go to Iceland to wave.

The purse is not bulging and the waist is not straight, this truth is suitable for the vast majority of gentlemen.

Leaving Iceland, Kane chose to transform a dreadnought, the Prestige, that was frozen in the waters more than 100 nautical miles south of Iceland.

The dreadnoughts of the origin world were only launched in 1906, and this world appeared earlier because of the steam black technology.

Seriously, some of the indicators and designs of this dreadnought are actually only equivalent to the level of the former dreadnought, which is commonly known as the ironclad ship, but others are sharper than the super dreadnought, so Kane compromised and called them dreadnoughts.

The dreadnought is the current main warship of the United Kingdom, like this Prestige, with a displacement of 22,000 tons, it is a big guy, and Kane has also taken a fancy to this, and there is no problem in renovating it to accommodate the Celestial Train.

The Prestige suffered a bomb cyclone, and the antennas, chimneys, bridges, and even batteries were all damaged to varying degrees, and the ultra-low temperature completely stuck, making it trapped on the ice, as if it had been welded to death.

In this sea area, there are many ships like the Prestige, and the members of the ship have naturally disembarked and escaped on foot.

With the climate, breaking through the ice would have been an extremely laborious option, and Kane decided to let it sink first, and then walk to the bottom of the sea, which had not yet frozen.

In order to transform the Dreadnought Prestige into the Prestige submarine, Kane had to build more soul steel.

This time, he used his family funds, but fortunately, there was enough high-quality metal on the Prestige, and the soul power he harvested was also extremely sufficient.

Day and night transformation, the iron pillar showed his skills, and the brain puppets played the role of senior technicians, and the transformation was completed in four days and five nights.

The original prestige, which was eventually preserved relatively intact, was the hull, not including the top.

In fact, even this hull has quite changed, such as the bow, and then the keel, and even the inside of the wall is etched with a magic array, after all, Kane's requirement is to dive 1000 meters deep, and the original wall of the prestige is not enough to see, mainly because the material is not good.

The revamped Prestige does not resemble the appearance of earlier submarines, and it is also different from the long-breaded submarines of later generations, as if the entire splint of the battleship has been changed to a fusiform top with a bulging arc.

It has wing fins, dorsal fins, and tail fins, but it doesn't have a conning tower or navigation room, after all, it's half-magic, half-science, and periscope doesn't need conventional means to accomplish anything.

In addition, the miniature nuclear reactor that Kane carried with him was strong enough to power the iron pillars, but not enough to meet the needs of the Prestige.

In addition, the equipment of the science and technology department is too complex, especially the high-precision parts, which cannot be manufactured by the current iron pillars by deformation, and the components of a submarine are not all steel, and the properties of some components are not hard to match.

In Kane's view, this is actually a sign of technological backwardness.

Why is it that the complex and high-precision ones are backward? Because the real mastery is to simplify the complex and return to the basics.

Mass-energy conversion machine, atomic-level deconstruction and holographic printing airbrush, super quantum computer. The world of the Supreme Commander only needs to carry an engineering vehicle that integrates these three technologies to travel around the universe.

Magic is magical because it achieves a similar effect in a different way.

Therefore, as long as resources are willing to pay, the Magic Furnace replaces the nuclear reactor, the Magic Array replaces the engine, and the Prestige not only has propeller propulsion, but also jet booster and cavitation-like technology, which allows the submarine to cruise at an astonishing 45 knots.

Under the influence of magic, the ice of the Trapped Prestige turned into an ice-blue flame and burned, and science explained that magic broke down the ice into hydrogen and oxygen, so it was actually hydrogen that burned.

The Prestige slowly sank in flames, and by the time it resurfaced, it was already in an unnamed bay in the northeast of Greenland.

The bay is nameless, but the harbor is famous, Hope Harbor, one of two large deep-water ports built by the British in northern Greenland.

To say that Britain in this era is worthy of being an empire on which the sun never sets, even if it does not have wealth from East Asia and South Asia, it is still a strong country. Especially when the powerful people who hold real wealth invest at any cost, many miraculous projects have been realized in a short period of time, including this Hope Harbor.

Merely......

Kane touched his chin and looked at the port scene captured by the drone through the magic window.

The port turned out to be abandoned.

The port town, its streets, docks, and ships docked in an orderly manner were all buried by snow and ice, no one cleaned up, and no pedestrians could be seen, and it seemed that it had been abandoned for some time.

What happened?

Kane thought for a moment and decided to take care of his own business first.

It's as simple as choosing a suitable anchor point for the Prestige.

Kane chose the icy cliffs on the harbor side.

Greenland's coastline is dominated by these ice-filled cliffs.

The bow of the Prestige, made of soul steel, underwent an unconventional deformation, forming a giant flat-headed drill.

Kane manipulated the Brain Golem to etch a magic circle into the flat-headed drill.

When the magic circle was activated, twelve rays of light erupted from the side of the drill, and six rays converged towards the center point. Together, they form an energy drill that goes far beyond the hull of a ship.

The effect of this drill bit cutting through the solid ice is like a red-hot soldering iron piercing into a solidified butter block, there is no such lag at all, the drilling speed is always very fast, a large amount of steam is produced, and from a distance, it seems that the ice wall is melting.

The huge ice tunnel, which is more than 300 meters deep, has been excavated in less than a quarter of an hour.

The Prestige exited, then reversed and drove in.

Then use magic to create ice and seal the hole below sea level.

The next step is to inject water into the tunnel, using the buoyancy of the seawater to raise the prestige as a whole.

This was followed by the construction of an ice base between the bottom of the ship and the bottom of the tunnel. This is not a difficult task, you only need to draw a magic circle in the designated location, and then you can quickly generate icicles through the strong heat absorption in the area.

As a result, when the ice gate at the tunnel entrance is reopened, the water level will reced, and the Prestige will be erected by icicles, and it will also have a 7-degree inclination angle, which is naturally designed to facilitate launching.

In addition, on the right side of the Prestige, a pier was built.

The reason why it is so complicated is mainly because once the iron pillar ends the joint state, it is equivalent to taking away the middle and upper middle third of the front end of the prestige.

Without this alternative trailer head, the Prestige would have sunk if it had been in the water.

Kane thought he might need it again, so he didn't let it be destroyed.

In addition, the ship also contained the resources that Kane had looted, which were all extracted by magic, which were originally pulled by the Heavenly Train, and the front of the locomotive deformed by the iron pillar alone could not be pulled away, and it would be a pity to discard it, so there was this investment.

The entrance to the tunnel was re-iced, and a tunnel was opened on the pier that led diagonally to the top of the iceberg.

After the iron pillar came out of the tunnel, Kane created the Ice Gate at the entrance, so that a large hidden berth could be considered completely built.

Taking advantage of the transformation of the Prestige, the iron pillar that had increased in value and became larger transformed into a heavy truck, loaded with some of the essence resources, Kane descended from the top of the glacier and visited the Lower Hawk Harbor.

The topographical features of the entire port are like the estuaries of glacial rivers.

A long ditch, on both sides are cliffs, from more than ten meters to tens of meters to more than 100 meters, the second heightened, the closer to the port, the higher the cliffs, the lower the ground in the ditch.

When we arrived at the wharf, it showed the appearance of a suddenly open horn, and there were icebergs and cliffs on both sides, forming a natural high-quality deep-water port that was almost encircled.

It is not large, with a span of only 2.4 kilometers, and at the root of the horn, there are about 1.7 square kilometers of frozen soil, and many functional buildings in Hope Town are concentrated in this area.

After some exploration, Kane found that there was not even a grain of grain left, and there was not even a single trace of coal and other materials left. The rooms were empty, and the furniture and everything had been emptied.

"That's too ruthless!" said Kane, "even the coal on the ships has been hauled, and I really don't plan to use these ships anymore?"

Food, that's what Kane couldn't figure out the most.

If 5 million people flee north, 3 million people will be left behind in the Algorithm Islands, Iceland and other places, and there will be 2 million people.

The consumption of cold and freezing is large, and the average daily consumption per person is calculated according to 1 catty of flour and half a catty of vegetables, which is also 1,000 tons of flour and 500 tons of vegetables per day.

Britain had the world's largest shipping capacity in this era, but so what? Anyway, he didn't believe that he could bring enough grain in two years.

After all, the British still have to build a shelter here, and they need to transport more supplies.

So, why did it cost to open up this port on the east coast, which is already in poor natural conditions, but closed the port early?

In particular, the literal translation of the name of this port is 'hope', and the closure of the port represents the severance of hope?
