For the last three days and nights, Ragnar had been locked away in his private study within the Governor's Mansion.
So much so that the only thing he had consumed was heavily caffeinated black coffee.
Considering he could not easily get his hands on modern energy drinks, he was left with the Titan Blend to stimulate his mind and keep him from defaulting on his sleep debt.
Yet, now after all his hard work, the R&D phase had finally paid off.
Sitting before him on his drafting table was a comprehensive schematic for an Ironclad Steam Frigate.
It was a massive beast of industry, designed not just to rule the waves, but to monopolize them.
It featured a sleek, reinforced hull and could house a total of 12 heavy Steam Cannons on pivot mounts.
The ship itself was basically a scaled-down, steam-powered adaptation of the CSS Virginia from his previous life, optimized for the turbulent waters of the North Sea.
