Study

The next day

Me and the tribesman returned from the trip a few hours ago and I can literally see the hero worship meter rising at alarming levels, especially the rebels and the tribesman who were telling my grand tale of extreme wits and battle action and how only Azula managing to escape was a stain on my flawless victory, they managed to make it seem much more climatic then needed but meh.

Of course I tried to tell them that everyone helped and how I am not the only one responsible but that just made them praise my humbleness which may or may not have been my initial goal but the main problem with the adventure was that yue was grounded and had someone on her tail all the time.

She would be unable to watch our sparring sessions or even meet with me or the gang without someone listening or butting in. She would be severely restricted from moving anywhere not authorized plus her father had given the boot to the guard who was guarding the princess on that day along with a good stink eye. The good thing was that we had already discussed the plan with her before docking at the tribe.

Speaking of docking, I asked if I could study the ship. The conversation went something along the lines of

"We are eternally grateful for saving our tribesmen. You may ask for anything within reason" The chief was acting Magnanimous for some reason but I shall not look at a gift horse in the mouth.

"I want to study the fire nation ship"

"Why would you want to do that"

"Well we could send it in as a decoy or we could even make it self implode."

By now a large crowd of warriors and people had gathered around me and the chief

"What really, how?"

"Well the ship works by forcing the energy made into the rotors. Do you understand so far?"

"Yes"

"Well what if I trap that energy, make it unable to escape.?"

"I don't know, what would happen?"

"Well the energy would keep on building until it would overpower the ships exterior and cause a massive explosion."

"I don't really understand"

"Sigh. Oh I know look here"

As I said this, I bended some water into a sphere.

The I made the water inside the sphere move with great force against the water surface. Think of it like a rasengan.

"The water moving inside is like the engine. It creates power and think of the outer layer of water as the ship. It keeps the power from being released until it explodes"

I made the water move with max force causing the water ball to explode with a lot of force, drenching the chief and me.

"Sorry about the water but that is how the ships explode, understood"

"Don't worry, I am the chief of a water tribe, a little water doesn't bother me. I understood it pretty well, You would make a fine teacher."

"Thank you for the compliment but we must get back to the main topic. Can I study the ship?"

"Sure."

The ships are pretty complicated but they work on basic principles taken to an extreme, they are very energy consuming but when you can create fire from your ass, that isn't a problem. The outer layer is made from some sort of iron alloy but it is extremely fire resistant but easily malleable under great pressure but extremely hard on normal conditions.

The alloy seems weirdly unfamiliar. Normally an alloy or metal gives me a sense of familiarity cause I knew it from my previous world by this one is unfamiliar like it is a new metal. The iron is normal but it is mixed with a new material and for some reason, it creates a Paradoxical feeling

A major surprise for me was that this ship was the universally accepted standard for the best part of the century. If I can expose the weaknesses, then I can damage the image of the fire nation and cause a chain reaction by helping the rebels and armies.

The metal was some sort of deus ex machina metal cause it turns out that most things made form metal are made from these alloys. It is used in everything form swords to ..well Ships. The architecture of the ship is reminiscent of something that I can't put my finger on but that is to be expected.

The ship is pretty efficient at transforming coal and fire to rotational kinetic energy but I identified a few weak spots in the armor. They are.

1. The under side of the entire ship

2. The rotor

3. The attachment point for the rotor

4. The engine room

5. Area surrounding the canons

If we target a few of these areas, then the entire fleet of ships can be handled efficiently with fewer casualties.

I shared my findings with the tribe and that regarded me with even more respect but I had one request.

"Send this information to all the rebels and the earth kingdom and Bumi."

The rebels will probably leak the information to the general public which will make the people learn about the weakness of the ships causing the fire still to overcorrect on their mistakes, causing even more faulty mistakes

The earth kingdom if just for appearances and politics.

Bumi is part of the white lotus and they can spread this information among themselves and down into their rebels or anti fire nation troops if they have any.

Now to wait for the chaos to unfold
