53 Designing (1/2)
Mutyx left the storage, ready to work, his trusty hammer on his back. Just like yesterday, he attracted attention from the locals, but they quickly went back to work, because slacking off would get them less food, or worse, no food.
Mutyx asked around, asking the locals where the ocean was. Some laughed at him, wondering if he really didn't know where the sea was, but the rest were helpful and pointed to the direction of the ocean.
Following the directions the locals gave him, Mutyx arrived at the shoreline. In the distance, he could see fish jumping out of the water and going back in.
Before Mutyx could build the floating ship he wanted, he needed to design it first and figure out what materials he's going to need for building it. He didn't just want the boat to be made of impossible materials and impossible enchantments that only him, the God of Crafting to be able to make, he wanted people to learn and hopefully recreate the boat.
The first thing Mutyx needs is something that allows something to float, like the floating city. Being the God of Crafting, he was born with the knowledge of all the past, present, and future materials in the world.
With the addition of chakra, new materials appeared in the world, utilizing chakra in one way or another. One such material is something called, Chromosium. Chromosium is translucent gold material that acts similarly to the material that makes the floating city of the ancient ones float.
Chromosium, like Magnonite, which is the material used to make the floating city float, also floats, but only if it is powered. Unlike Magnonite, Chromosium absorbs the chakra in the nearby area instead of Magnonite, which absorbs mana.
Mutyx chose Chromosium instead of Magnonite because it would be a better fit for humans. While inspecting the humans, Mutyx felt that they were more sensitive to chakra. The ancient ones were born with great affinity to mana, and the humans were born with great affinity to chakra, so he chose Chromosium instead of Magnonite.
Mutyx started designing the ship. In the design, the large Chromosium crystals were hidden inside the boat, so the ship's hull would protect them. There were four large Chromosium crystals, One in the front, two on the left and right side of the boat, and one at the back of the ship.
The crystals weren't small either. Looking at the measurements on the design, it was about the size of a small to a medium house.
Since it would be bad if the crystals were to be destroyed, they had to be well protected, so the hull of the ship needed to be strong. Mutyx looked around at the database of materials in his head, looking for suitable material. Being a ship, he wanted it to be wood and not metal.
