Ocean navigation is a very uncertain thing. If the positioning is not accurate, the route can easily deviate.

Even in modern ocean navigation, it is inseparable from many high-tech technologies such as radar positioning, acoustic positioning and GPS positioning.

In order to ensure that the ironclad ships could accurately arrive at the shipyard port, dwarf giants specially used for positioning were placed on both ironclad ships.

The general navigation direction was determined by the compass. After approaching Parady Island, Allen used the power of the ancestor to sense the position of the giant and make minor adjustments to the route.

Fifteen days later, Leviban and Mick successfully escorted the prisoners to the island.

During this period of sailing, the sailors were not idle. They learned the manipulation techniques of the ironclad ship. When they returned, except for a few old sailors from Isfal who were left behind as technical guides, the rest of the operations were performed by the sailors themselves. .

The prisoners were placed in the shipyard, and the government sent technical soldiers there to learn the manipulation techniques of ironclad ships from the prisoners.

They used ice blasting stones to replace petroleum as fuel for steam engines, and the effect was very good.

The island is very rich in ice blasting resources. With the giants in the mining area, a large amount of ice blasting rocks can be mined in a very short time without worrying about fuel.

At the end of September in 847, two ironclad ships transported about 100 tons of food and 20 tons of ice blasting stones and returned to the border port of Isfal.

Hanji and Erwin, within a month of the ship's return, convinced the 47 prisoners who stayed at the border port to come forward as sailors of Old Isfal to win over the refugees and defeated soldiers.

After the food was transported, they quickly started relief work for the refugees.

At the end of 847, a "rebel army" camp was established with the port as the core.

They relied on grain trading to acquire a large number of steam engines from local warlords.

During the war, Isfal prepared a lot of equipment and weapons in order to prepare for the war with Marais. Although the country was destroyed by Marais three years ago, a considerable amount of obsolete equipment still remained.

These equipment, which seem to be very backward in the world, are reserved in the hands of local warlords.

Yes, this annihilated country is now in an unimaginable state of chaos.

After Malay eliminated Isfar's armed forces and added a large number of Isfar soldiers into his own volunteer system, he did not take further measures against this small country, but only symbolically left some occupying troops in the original capital.

There are various reasons for this. For example, Isfal's territory is far away from the capital of Malai, and it is a small country, caught between several big countries, and is not rich in resources.

The result was the emergence of warlord separatism in Isfal.

There are rebels who want to drive away the occupying forces, and there are dictators who dominate the mountains and become kings.

They divided up the remaining weapons and equipment of the old government and fought independently.

However, due to the barrenness of the land and the lack of farmers, the local warlords had great difficulties in obtaining food.

Relying on the large amount of food shipped from the island, the "Rebel Army" camp successfully exchanged steam engines that were not weapons from other warlords.

Using these steam engines, Parade Island built 30 steam-powered transport ships, realizing resource exchange between the island and the outside world.

January, 848.

Ian looked out of the window of his desk. Snowflakes like goose feathers were falling quietly on the sea surface of the port. There were more than a dozen iron-clad transport ships docked there. A small part of them were snatched by them, and most of them were inside the wall. shipyard, using original steam engines to manufacture shipping ships.

At the port, there are many oriental-looking workers unloading goods. They are the Isfal refugees who were taken in during this period.

After nearly half a year of development, they established a town with this port as the center.

In fact, the surrounding area is not suitable for urban development. The geology here is mostly rocky and cannot be used for farming. Moreover, it is adjacent to the sea on one side and surrounded by mountains on both sides, so transportation is quite inconvenient.

Apart from a natural harbor, there are no other advantages.

However, its strategic value is very high. For Parade Island, this port town is a window to the outside world.

The food that sustains this port town all comes from Parady Island. So far, the town has hosted more than 3,400 refugees, some of whom joined earlier, such as the 149 old Isfal prisoners who were first captured. The navy soldiers have completely integrated into Parady Island.

After all, for them, the conditions on Parady Island are very superior, and they have no second choice.

These people are working on the ironclad ship. They have seen the unique "giant system civilization" on the island.

The government of the island has had detailed exchanges with these people, indicating that we have no intention of infringing on the sovereignty of Isfal. On the contrary, if you can help us, after Parady Island deters the world in the future, we will also do it for Isfal. to provide assistance for the country’s restoration and construction.

The "core creation plan" was not disclosed to them, but they were made aware of the "earth ringing".

For these Isfar people, this is equivalent to drawing a pie. Their country has perished anyway, and there will be no worse situation than this. It is better to have a glimmer of hope than nothing.

They are willing to provide help to Parade Island and persuade new people to join. Every month, they will recommend people they think are trustworthy. After the assessment of Parade Island, they will explain the whole story of the incident and join the cooperation. .

Recently, the number of refugees coming here has been increasing.

Apart from actively recruiting refugees at the beginning, they haven't done anything like this for quite some time.

It seems that there is some news circulating outside, saying that there is a safe rebel camp on the border where you don't have to go hungry.

Many refugees who had no way out followed this rumor and came to the vicinity and were accepted as residents of this port city.

The refugees came with the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse, but finally found that this place was like a paradise, rich and safe, and there were many enthusiastic compatriots.

Some refugees possess special skills. Isfal's ability to participate in the war with Marais proved that its own strength is not weak, and there are many talents among its citizens.

Some intellectuals among them joined Parady Island. Ian established a scientific research base in this port town and traded with other parts of the world through the channels of the Isfar people, exchanging food and steel for Parady. Materials that are not available on Dee Island or cannot be produced in a short period of time.

There was a knock on the door of the office.

"It's me, Hanji." Hanji's voice came through the wooden door: "The magnets and copper coils we purchased have been shipped back."
