After some small talk, the Marquis finally got down to business.
"I would like to ask for your help in the construction of a large ship.
A large ship?

Yes. I understand that you once participated in a project to build a large ship called the Bernstein in the Shoro Empire.
Yes, that's right.
"I'm not asking you to stay on as long as you did then. I would like to ask you to participate only in the planning and design stages of the project.

Jin thought for a moment before replying.

Jin agreed to participate in the project and was to return to Potrock on the same day.

From what Jin saw, there were many young people. In fact, all of them looked to be under 30 years old.
Jin guessed that this might be the reason why Rodrigo, who used to participate in the development of the high-speed boat in the Shoro Kingdom, was not invited to the meeting, in addition to the request for the development of the high-speed boat.
To Jin's surprise, he saw the faces of Bacchus and Jamie.

After a few words of greeting, Sergio, the leader of the project, seeing that the atmosphere had calmed down, began to explain the current status of the project to Jin and to reassure him of their intentions.
"It is 50 meters long and 10 meters wide. We are targeting a capacity of 50 people, a payload of 200 tons, and a maximum speed of 30 kilometers per hour."

Except for the Horaishima, these are the highest specifications of the era.
So, how far have you come?
"Yes. We have already decided on the approximate shape of the boat. This is the model.

"Oh..."
A clay model had been made, just as Jin had demonstrated during the development in the Shoro Empire.
According to the model, there is no problem with the shape as far as Jin could see.

The ship has a round bottom with a dragon bone through it, which indicates that it is supposed to be made of wood.
On Earth, as large ships were built, giant trees were cut down and their number was drastically reduced, but in this world where engineering magic exists, we do not need to worry too much because we can use <

However, he says that this model does not show the internal structure of the ship,
"That's something we'll have to work on from now on," he replied.
He replied, "That's something we'll have to work on in the future.

If Mr. Jin could participate in this project, he would be a great help to a hundred, or even a thousand people!
With these words, the meeting turned to a discussion of the internal structure of the ship.

"In the large ship we built before, the interior was divided into small sections to increase strength and to stop flooding in each section.
First, Jin showed one of his previous know-how.
"I see, then, in the case of a cargo ship, the size of the cargo needs to be determined first.

"Yes, that's right.
Then he says,
"If you don't expect a large cargo, you can divide it into smaller pieces."

"But even so, it would be a lot easier if we had a standard like for containers."
"We also have to think about the loading of cargo," he said.
"Heavy cargo should be placed at the bottom of the ship," he said.

"If you're going to be sailing for long periods of time, it's important to store water and food. We need to make space for them first."
"Shouldn't we decide on the placement of the propulsion system first, and then decide on the placement of the other parts?
Various opinions were expressed.

These opinions were summarized and prioritized.
The top priority this time was the placement of propulsion units.

"There are two main propulsion units. We want to place them on the left and right near the bottom of the ship.
"The one for turning around should be on the port side."
What about the backward propulsion system?

Heated discussions were held from the very first day.
Jin, who loves this kind of atmosphere, sometimes expressed his opinions while imagining the era of large vessels that would soon come.

But on the other hand.
