"When is it clear where to retreat?" Ding Lei asked.

Yadonis replied: "I don't know, the distance should be very far, and even Camilla can't contact you."

“Where is the location?”

“East.”

Ding Lei closed his eyes and sensed the tracking beacon and skeleton ship he had left there.

The tracker couldn't sense it, but the skeleton ship kept absorbing magic from him. Although it was not clear where the coordinates were, the general direction was still known.

Fortunately, I had a hand.

This made Ding Lei's originally hungry heart, so he let go, turned to the owl beside him and said, "When will the warship be completed?"

The owl looked down at the drawings and said, "About 1 month, the underground waters are not as fast as the time workshop."

Ding Lei nodded. It would take as fast as 3 months for a batch of shipbuilding on humans to produce at most ships.

At this time, Camilla sent a message and said, "If your highness has time, you can go to Peter Port to take a look, where a group of strange overseas businessmen have just arrived."

Peter Port... It was originally just a small fishing village, but Ding Lei made it into a big port. However, it was a bit embarrassing if no foreign businessmen came here.

Now I have finally waited for a customer, and I can't let this opportunity go and promote it after getting it done.

Thinking of this, Ding Lei greeted the owl and notified the mage to open the door and go to Peter directly.

Ding Lei, wearing black hawk armor, walked through the portal and came to the beach.

The wet and salty air, the endless blue sea, the waves that kept rushing to the beach, and the white petrels flying back and forth among the reefs in the distance.

This is indeed an excellent water port, why no one comes?

Turn around and walk towards the huge city on the left.

When we arrived at the towering city wall, the city gate was wide open, but there were not many pedestrians coming and going. The guards guarding the city sat together and chatted, and had no time to pay attention to the situation below.

Ding Lei shook his head and entered the city. There were extremely few pedestrians on the empty streets. The most back and forth were vendors who came here from the mainland to purchase, but even buyers were too few.

Ding Lei took out the crystal and asked, "Camilla, where are those foreign businessmen?"

"Go forward and follow my guidance."

After a while, I saw outsiders at a large pier.

Three super giant wooden sailboats like ingots were moored there, with no muzzles on the side, and they were indeed merchant ships.

A large number of boxes were transported from the ship and piled up in the port, most of which showed signs of moisture and mold.

There were many vendors gathered next to him, but everyone was talking about the strangely dressed people coming off the boat.

They have the horns of stags and the eyes of yellow lizards. They look like humans and have a slightly yellow skin. At the same time, except for the sailors who are carrying, the other guys who look like leaders are all wearing wide yellow robes.

At this time, these people gathered together, looked here and talked about each other.

Ding Lei squeezed through the crowd, walked forward, took off his helmet, and asked, "Where do you guys come from?"

Several people on the opposite side were slightly surprised, and one of them stepped forward and said, "We are merchants from Chilian Continent. We encountered a storm on the way. After avoiding it, we touched the mines. Finally, we finally arrived here safely."

The high seas were blocked by those bastards with mines, no wonder no one came over!

"Cough." Ding Lei looked at the wet boxes and said, "What are those?"

One of them took out a can of porcelain-like things and handed them over. After opening it, it smelled refreshing.

"spices."

"In addition, there are crop seeds, truffles, satin, and some ale." said another next to him, "but some of them are not used because of moisture."

There are a lot of supplies, but the other party is not satisfied with the things they have taken out for trading here, and said that they can only exchange some gold coins and get some supplies back.

Ah, the first customer ran away like this? Does that mean that the businessmen who come here in the future are the same? This is not possible!

At this time, the crowd watching behind screamed.

"Mr. Marshal, we can let them see the communication crystal."

"Master Marshal?" The crowd behind suddenly burst into flames and shouted in surprise: "It's our Black Hawk Marshal?! I said why does that set of armor look so familiar!"

With the popularity of communication crystals, Ding Lei launched a video crystal that can be projected virtually. Later, humans developed image playback devices like TVs based on this principle, but they are also projected.

With the media reports, everyone knows the image of Marshal Black Hawk.

When Ding Lei heard this, he felt illuminated: By the way! Isn’t the original intention of Eternal Kingdom to build a country with technology? It’s really blind to not sell technology products and fiddling with materials.

When the video crystal was taken out and used in front of them, all the merchants on the opposite side were stunned, and finally stared at the image projected by the crystal and couldn't speak.

Crystals are divided into military and civilians, the difference is the length of the distance and the clarity of the signal, and the military version of the information is not easily intercepted.

What they have in common is that the core patterns carved are as complex as high-end chips. Even if they don’t have complete design drawings, they will still explode when they are finally ignited.

Mastering core technology is orthodox.

"That...Mr. Marshal, right?" The merchant covered his chest and suppressed his excitement and said, "How do you plan to sell this thing?"

For transactions, it is up to the people from the Chamber of Commerce to come.

Seeing that Ding Lei didn't say anything, another said, "If possible, after we go back, we will report immediately and organize a large-scale caravan to come over. Is it okay?"

"no problem."

After that, they were asked to wait here for a while.

Ding Lei called several giants in the Chamber of Commerce over together. After everyone discussed the price and supply, they sent away the first batch of customers.

The first technological transaction after the founding of the People's Republic of China was achieved. Although there are three port cities in the south that have been shipping, they are all crops, and they can only make the difference by quantity. The most important thing is that the number of merchant groups coming and going there is gradually decreasing. I heard that there is another mainland that sells at a lower price than here.

Trading resources and crops is not a long-term solution after all.

"The profits of technology products are always the highest. As long as you master the core technology and do not leak it, your descendants will benefit a lot."

During the Chamber of Commerce speech, the Black Hawk Marshal of the Empire made the above speech, and everyone stood up excitedly, with thunderous applause.

From this moment on, the entire Eternal Island has entered a craze of technological exploration and research and development. The emergence of the first ironclad ship marks the official entry of the naval shipbuilding technology into the era of magical ironclad.

Three months later, a diplomatic fleet composed of 10 magic-powered ironclad ships, carrying various communication crystals and other technological products, headed towards the Chilian Continent to the east in a mighty manner.
