The design and construction of the Temple was an exceptionally arduous task, especially for Zebra.
This was his first time acting as a "designer" rather than a worker, planning the construction of a building from scratch.

Zebra knew that even though the Leader said nothing, in reality, the Leader had said everything.
He had only one chance, one opportunity to rise from the middle level to the top, and whether he could seize it depended on whether he could satisfy the Leader this time.

The Steel Bone was completed at the beginning of 1666, and shortly after this massive vessel with a steel skeleton and steel core launched, Zebra took his chosen skilled craftsmen across the mountains.
