Hull Construction


The ship building is entering its climax. That said, nothing’s taken form yet though.

The ores acquired from the mine Gnome manages at the south of the Sanctuary are aplenty, and curiously enough, because the Great Earth Spirit Gnome and the numerous Earth Spirits that congregate here, the ore veins wouldn’t be exhausted. Thanks to that, the amount of ore needed to build the ship that the Dwarves and I are working on together had been mined.

The CPP will use adamantite alloy in consideration of the strength of the shaft. The material for the propeller also needs to be strong, so it would likewise be adamantite alloy.

Gnome and Titan cooperated to construct the shipbuilding dock. In that dock, Laeva and I drew an enormous magic circle.
I thought I’d challenge myself by transmuting a fusion of metals and the Sea Dragon’s bones, scales, and skin using alchemy.
I’ve never used alchemy in this big of a scale so I’m anxious about its success, but there’s a probability that it would.

The synthesis of metals and dragon materials will be carried out with the assistance of the magic circle, and the ship’s form and structure will be made based on the image that’s been burned into my brain.

There were many types of materials to be used, and in order to reform the alloys used depending on the position, the size of the magic circle had inevitably become enormous.

「Takumi-sama, my inspection was okay!」
「Thanks! It’s okay here too!」

With papers with the magic circle drawn on it in hand, Laeva and I checked if the 30m-ish magic circle had any mistakes.
We took our time drawing it out, but especially so as we were being very scrupulous with the check.
If a magic circle of a scale this large had a mistake, in the worst case, it would be a matter of my life and death.
It would be better if the magic formula doesn’t activate, but if the magic formula runs wild and forcibly causes it to activate, it would absorb my magic power and even use my life force to activate the formula when my magic power runs dry. To make a ship of this scale with alchemy, the probability of failure = death is high.

「Be careful not to erase the magic circle!」
「I will!」

When it’s the usual alchemy that uses a small magic circle, I don’t fuss too much when placing materials, but since there’s a lot of materials this time, and they’re heavy to boot, we prepared a table to place the materials on so the magic circle wouldn’t be erased.
Using the Item Box, I laid down the materials.
I calculated how much materials are needed and stacked them up, but as one would expect, doing it in one go is scary, so I did a test using a 1/50 scale prior to this. From there, I calculated and prepared the amount needed as precisely as I possibly could.
Golan-san and I tested the 1/50th scale model against tsunamis and the like many times in the pool, and it had gone through many detailed form revisions until the final form and size of the ship was decided on.

An array of materials was carefully stacked high. Once all the final checks were done, I confirmed if I had prepared mana potions and the Sea Serpent’s magic stone for when I’m running out of magic power.

「Alright! Everyone move back!」

Laeva and Golan-san who assisted me with the work had distanced themselves from the magic circle. Only Sophia is behind me on the off chance that something does happen to me.

「Okay! I’m doing it!」

I palmed the ground with one hand, preparing to pour magic power into the magic circle. I imagined a precise mental image of the blueprint that I had drilled in my head at the same time.

「Fuu………… alright!」

I began pouring magic power into the magic circle, causing light to rise from the 30m wide diagram. Then, while holding a clear image in my head, I invoked Alchemy.

「Kuh!」

The consumption of magic power was staggering. I hurriedly drank a mana potion and held the magic stone.

The materials stacked like a mountain started being wrapped in light, and a torrent of light soon swallowed all of the materials.

The materials floated, swirling above the magic circle, turning into a gigantic cocoon of light.

Drawing from the magic stone, and replenishing with mana potions, I concentrated magic power into the complete magic formula. Once the magic stone ran out of magic power, my magic power steadily left me.

The swirling cocoon of light slowly changed form.

The contours of the light began taking the form of a ship. When it became a 100m long, 20m wide gigantic ship, the light grew even brighter, then it turned into a bead of light, vanishing into the empty sky.

After the light disappeared, it revealed a gigantic ship tinged with the same blue of the Sea Dragon scales.

The moment I confirmed that the ship’s construction was a success, my consciousness faded away due to exhausting my magic power.
