In the underground shipyard, everyone gathered in the main shipbuilding room No. 3.

Special giants, workers, logistics personnel, and pre-selected soldiers came to Noda's shipbuilding room.

Eren, Armin and Mikasa, who had changed into uniforms, lined up under the completed battleship chassis.

Erwin, Hanji and Ian stood on the makeshift podium.

"Captain Erwin is here, which means we are going to sail." Armin patted his face: "Time flies so fast, it has been three months in a flash."

"The location has been decided." Allen whispered: "Go to the Eastern Kingdom. There seem to be many small countries there that were destroyed by Marais."

Armin speculated on the intention of this route: "I remember that the purpose of our trip this time was to establish a stronghold on the mainland and find a way to bring the technology outside the wall to the island. Are we going to win over the people who have subjugated the country?"

"We'll find out later. We should be explained in the next conference." Allen whispered.

"Eren." Mikasa called Eren's name softly.

"What's wrong, Mikasa?" Allen asked.

"Your buttons are not buttoned properly." Mikasa stretched out her hand to help Allen adjust the buttons on his collar, her face was so close that her breath could be heard.

After tying it up, Mikasa stood back to her original position.

Allen quietly glanced at Mikasa's side face and held his chest.

For some reason, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

I always feel that Mikasa has a good smell lately.

On the stage, with the help of a loudspeaker, Erwin began to speak.

"Then let's start the first sailing meeting."

"The Malai people's ship left the port yesterday. According to their habits, the next time they land on the island is expected to be in twenty-eight days."

"So starting tomorrow, we will gradually transport the parts of Navy One to the natural port on the seaside through special giants for assembly."

"The scheduled sailing time is five days later at night. Next, I will publish the list of people who will board the ship. Those who have been read out will come out and stand in the empty area on my right."

Erwin began to read names one by one and assign tasks.

Mikasa is in the combat team led by Levi, and Armin is in the technical team.

Allen is on the Giants team together with Mick and Hannis.

As for Dana, although she is also on the list, due to her personal wishes, she only works in logistics and does not participate in combat-related matters.

At this meeting, Ellen Yeager, Dana Freeze, and Ian were listed as the first protection targets. No matter what the situation, the safety of these three people must be given priority to protect them.

After the meeting, the workers were announced to be disbanded and allowed to move around freely. The workers, who had been busy for more than half a year, finally had some time to rest.

The cafeteria prepared a sumptuous meal tonight, including meat, soup and bread.

Ymir's favorite fried chicken and fries are available in unlimited quantities, and recently a new seasoning, ketchup, has been added, and she can't put it down.

Considering that on board the ship, there would be very few opportunities to eat fried chicken and fries, so she made a full meal.

Early the next morning, hundreds of giants, under the command of the Ancestral Power, moved the forty-meter-long chassis of Marine One to the sand.

A total of seven layers of hull structure are installed on the chassis.

Various large parts are constantly being shipped out and assembled on the chassis. The Armored Giant uses its hardening ability from time to time to bond and reinforce the ship.

At noon on the fifth day, the assembly of Marine One was completed. Hannis transformed into a super giant, a sixty-meter-tall giant. He dug up the sand with his palms and pushed Marine One into the sea.

Before choosing a location for the shipyard, the depth of the nearby sea water was measured, and they specially built the ship in a natural port.

According to calculations, the displacement of Navy No. 1 is 5,000 tons. Both sides of the hull are equipped with armored turrets that can rotate 360 ​​degrees in all directions. It is a veritable "ironclad ship".

This is the warship built by Parady Island, which took nearly a year to build with all the efforts of the country.

The majestic steel ship stood tall and motionless in the tide. The all-steel hull looked like an iron mountain.

The short giants transported bags containing food and ammunition to the warehouse in the cabin. Workers and soldiers walked through the passages and rooms in the cabin together, hanging "giant mining lamps" in dark places to illuminate them.

In the evening, the inspection for sailing was completed.

Everyone boarded the ship and stood on the deck of Marine One, looking at the sunset.

The sea water was dyed the color of sunset by the red sun. The sun set on the edge of the horizon. Ian looked up and saw seagulls flying across the sky.

The giant in the power room began to crank the crank, and the gears drove the propeller to rotate.

The front end of the ship pushed away the sea water, and Navy One moved on the sea at a speed of about 20 to 30 nautical miles. It was faster than a large wind-powered sailboat, but not as fast as a Malay steam-powered battleship.

However, using giants as power has unique advantages:

For example, it is clean and pollution-free, does not need to carry fuel, and can continue to move forward at sea even without supplies, etc.

As long as the power chamber does not suffer direct attacks, the possibility of failure is basically eliminated, and the safety and reliability are very high.

Eren and Mikasa held the railing and stood together looking at the calm sea.

Mikasa pointed at the sunset and said it was so beautiful. The sea breeze under the setting sun blew her bangs away, and Allen was distracted for a moment.

Armin wisely found Jean and Connie, and enjoyed the sea view with the two damaged guys.

In the captain's cabin, Ian and Hanji recorded various data after the launch of Marine One.

The giants in the power room can be directly controlled from the captain's cabin. They use trigger-type mechanisms to press the giants' eyes and noses to control whether the giants turn the cranks and the direction in which they turn the cranks, achieving the same effect as a steering wheel.

The overall performance of the data was perfect. Although they had pieced together the boat, its sailing performance exceeded expectations.

Ian continued recording data late into the night, checking in on various key points on Marine One.

"That's it for today. Sorry to bother you, go back and rest. We will continue tomorrow." Ian said to the workers who were traveling with him.

He was in the power room. The giants were lying on the ground. Their waists, legs and necks were fixed with switchable iron buckles. Behind each giant was a window to get light, and there was an up and down switch on the window. The iron cover is open at this time, and the moonlight shines on the giant's body.

These are "moonlight giants" that can move at night. Moonlight is the reflection of sunlight. A small number of strange species can move under the moonlight. These giants were selected after screening tens of thousands of giants in the wall. "Rare species".

They crank the cranks tirelessly at night to provide power for Marine One.

After dismissing the workers, Ian returned to his room and lay on the bed.

Although the space inside the ship is tight, he still has a single room with its own studio.

He was really tired today, so he lay on the bed and fell asleep quickly.
