"Stop touching it; this is real metal! Thick steel plates so solid there isn't even an echo when you knock on them! We're not just covering a wooden warship with metal skin, we've actually used genuine steel plates to construct the hull!" As Tang Mo almost set his own kitchen on fire, he saw the two elves cautiously reaching out to touch the steel plates of the ironclad warship, and the accompanying Harry spoke up.

This warship, Brunas No. 1, had returned to Brunas to refuel coal and water and replenish its ammunition. It also needed to repair some damage, including a few spots that had been hit by solid cannonballs.

However, for this warship, such minor damage was hardly worth mentioning; most of the places that were hit only had shallow dents.

When the two elves got a close look at this warship, they were utterly astounded by its grand and magnificent presence.

It was their first time seeing such a warship, a bizarre one without sails but with two big smokestacks.
