Otherwise, if something went wrong halfway through the journey and there was no qualified mechanic to repair it, everyone aboard would be left waiting to die.
But none of that was a problem for Allen, who was proficient in blacksmithing and engineering.
This time, he intended to build himself a warship made entirely of high-strength metal—a steel behemoth beyond the understanding of everyone in this era, a Super Weapon ten times more powerful than the legendary Ancient Weapon Pluton.
