I, Stone Golem, only want to forge.

Siri examined the water core floating in the sky, hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to ask about the situation.

"If I may, could you please explain how this water core works?"

He could only see that this so-called water core had an extremely strong elemental affinity, and it constantly expelled the water element from the absorption point and then absorbed it back, repeating this process over and over again.

Although he could see every single movement clearly and understand it perfectly.

But when put together into a complete process, he couldn't understand it at all.

It's like recognizing all the symbols on a math problem, but combining them to form the problem itself.

Then suddenly I couldn't understand it anymore.

"Hey...bro, are you asking me about the principle behind this?"

Diaz chuckled a few times, then pointed to himself, tugged at his clothes, and said, half self-deprecatingly and half jokingly.

"Look at me, do you think I look like I can understand these things?"

"Even someone as knowledgeable and cultured as you can't understand this, how could I, an ordinary sailor who hasn't read many books, possibly understand it?"

Siri chuckled awkwardly and tried to smooth things over.

"Your demeanor and speech do not suggest that you are uneducated; you are being too modest."

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Murphy.

"Mr. Murphy, did you notice?"

Murphy nodded. In fact, the moment it saw the thing, it had already noticed how it worked.

I was just thinking about how to put it into practice, so I didn't pay attention to the two of them.

"Oh? Tell me about it?" Sridharma immediately perked up and asked.

"This core element uses enchantment on the water element within the cabin to control its direction."

Then, through the chassis below, it connects to the magic array of the entire cabin, and through this magic array, it transmits the internal dynamics to the water surface outside.

Then the action can be accomplished.

Murphy gave a casual explanation, then looked around the house briefly before going outside for another look.

Siri nodded; he was already used to Murphy's astonishingly focused attention.

So he simply increased the sensing area slightly, following Murphy's line of thought.

The ship's trajectory at sea was compared one by one with the pattern of water elements being absorbed and expelled by the water core.

As Murphy predicted, the connection between the two was indeed extremely close.

Meanwhile, Diaz, who had just heard Murphy rambling on and on, was completely bewildered.

When he first met the two of them.

I thought the stone figure was the old man's bodyguard.

But after thinking about it carefully, he realized that he seemed to have it backwards!

Which bodyguard can dissect the core principles of a ship at a glance?

Then he rattled off a long string of words that he couldn't understand, but which sounded profound, mysterious, and incredibly reasonable!

It seems that Murphy is the one who should be dressed formally and be a debonair, elegant scholar!

The old gentleman next to him was actually this man's bodyguard?

Diaz scratched his head.

Are all stone men this intelligent?

Why does he seem more like the Stone Man than the Stone Man?

"You can encounter anything in this world..."

After muttering something under his breath, Diaz began to wonder if he could make friends with this stoneman scholar and maybe even develop a romantic relationship with him.

Who knows, I can ask you questions in the future. Besides, having more friends means having more options.

Judging from their ambition to build ships, they might end up with a fleet of ships someday...

Hey?

Wouldn't that require an experienced crew member to serve as captain?

And he happened to be an experienced sailor.

To be honest, Diaz had wanted to go out on his own for a long time.

During the initial development period, their captain and officers were quite hands-on.

He is humble and gentle in his dealings with others, but not too weak.

However, now the fleet has gradually grown to a considerable size.

Perhaps it's because they value their lives, perhaps it's because they're afraid of getting into a fight, or perhaps it's because they're used to enjoying the money their brothers have.

The captain then stopped trying as hard as he used to.

Even steering and managing affairs required Diaz and the other first officers to handle.

He was only responsible for saying a few words on board, and after disembarking, he would go to find his mistress or other women, and spend his time in casinos or bars.

In terms of personnel management, it also differs from the previous practice of appointing people based on merit.

They gradually began to place those sycophants who only knew how to please themselves but had no real skills in important positions.

Diaz was a true crew member who had been on the front lines and had experienced countless life-and-death situations, so he knew this very well.

Neither the ocean nor the river is a gentle mother!

They may usually appear calm and composed, without any ripples in their lives.

But if you're not careful, you can be bewitched by their gentleness.

Then what we will face is a raging storm and towering waves that will be enough to swallow everything up!

We should have reverence for navigation!

This has always been Diaz's motto.

However, he could not see any signs of anything on the ship.

So he wanted to run away!

But what difference does it make where you go?

Unless he becomes a true member of management, all his efforts will be meaningless.

Whichever ship you board, you'll only see that ship is rotten!

So he wants to be the captain!

And this Mr. Murphy who wanted to build a ship, and this old gentleman who was clearly no ordinary person...

Without a doubt, he is the best candidate.

He frowned, wondering if he should share more useful technology or information with these two.

To be honest, he had to pay for many of the facilities and equipment on the ship himself.

It's perfectly acceptable to share it.

But no matter what, it was his hard work, and to give it away so easily would make him feel conflicted.

However, this dilemma was soon resolved.

Murphy came back after taking a stroll outside.

I entered this cabin again.

He then spoke to Sri.

"This chassis is connected to the chassis of the ship. The chassis of the ship will transmit the undercurrents and waves it receives to this chassis above."

Siri immediately understood Murphy's meaning and said with a sudden realization.

"Then this chassis transmits the force from the seabed to the water core, and the water core then reacts based on this transmitted force to eliminate the force on the seabed, right?"

Murphy nodded.

When Sri saw that Murphy was right, he became somewhat serious and frowned.

"This sounds a bit... complicated, Mr. Murphy. Have you found any clues?"

He felt that the skills and craftsmanship required for this back-and-forth trip were definitely not low.

Murphy nodded again.

"It can be done."

"Are you serious?" Before Sri could speak, Diaz asked first.

If this can actually be manufactured, next time I won't need to hesitate at all; I can just quit my job and run away.

However, Murphy's response was not verbal...

Murphy simply raised his hand.

Suddenly, a miniature version of the water core, almost identical to the one inside the cabin, appeared in its hand.

And this is not just a model!

It was also breathing in and out water elements along with the large water core.

Both Sri and Diaz's pupils contracted sharply at the same time. As for Diaz, his facial muscles began to twitch uncontrollably in an attempt to suppress his expression.

What kind of weird thing did you come up with while you were just taking a stroll?
