Once the voyage plan was settled, a tremendous shipbuilding frenzy swept through all of Ishigami Village.
They wanted both to sail into unknown waters to investigate Why-man's mysterious signal and to head to Treasure Island to retrieve the platinum Byakuya had left behind.
If anyone could pull off both, it was Senku~
Then they would have to build a ship sturdy enough and large enough for the task.
Their workload grew exponentially, and it was time for another village-wide frenzy.
The clearing became a dedicated shipbuilding site. Timber, hemp rope, and other supplies were stacked neatly as everyone busied themselves with their assigned tasks!
Holding a charcoal pencil, Senku bent over the table and focused on sketching the ship's blueprints.
His mind held a complete body of modern shipbuilding theory. Combining it with the techniques currently available to them, he drew the outline little by little.
But theory was still only theory. Without practical experience sailing or building ships, relying entirely on scientific calculations would inevitably leave flaws in the structural proportions.
Especially in the balance between overall size and load-bearing capacity.
Senku repeatedly ran through the calculations over his plans, his pencil constantly making corrections. His brow creased slightly as he silently considered the best solution.
Just then, a flamboyant blond figure came over.
Ryusui Nanami bent down to study the blueprints on the table. His sharp eyes spotted the structural problem at once.
He pointed straight at the cabin area on the plans and spoke.
"You can't design this section like that."
"You've made the central cabin too large. The weight distribution at the ship's center will be completely thrown off."
"According to the principles of fluid balance in shipbuilding, if you enlarge the central cabin, you have to increase the hull sections on both sides and the
