Chapter 164 The Complete Extraordinary Ship Construction System

After receiving the image of the will of nature leaving the island by boat, Han Ning continued to ask:

"How do you build a ship that can cross the ocean? How do you ensure a food supply on board? And how do you fight off those terrifying Kuroshio monsters in the water?"

He completely mistook the will of nature for a super artificial intelligence from another world, after all, it was the consciousness of the world.

After a moment of silence, a new scene began to emerge from the void.

To Han Ning's surprise, the footage did not directly show the shipbuilding process.

The first to appear were a group of strange humanoid creatures.

They were tall and slender, with facial features similar to humans, yet bearing distinct exotic characteristics.

The different colored lines painted on both sides of the cheeks, the skin as white as jade, as if it were made of porcelain, and the texture of it was completely different from human skin.

In the image, a dozen such creatures are holding tools with sharp tips, resembling engraving pens, and are intently carving some kind of intricate pattern on a similarly white stone slab.

Han Ning examined them closely. At first glance, the patterns seemed simple, like the most basic lines on a circuit board.

But as the scene shifts, these simple lines begin to combine and overlap, evolving into intricately structured circuit units.

These units are nested like intricate gears, eventually converging into a vast and complex system of runes, imprinted on a specially treated, heavy wooden board.

The screen switches again.

Similar scenes are playing out in different places:

Someone operates a huge furnace, pouring strange molten metal into molds to form components with grooves.

Someone is driving a stream of luminous energy to etch energy channels into the surface of tough black wood.

Others used lightning-shimmering wood as the core of the dragon's skeleton, inlaid metal on it, and forged and fused it using methods Han Ning could not understand.

Countless fragmented images flashed by, eventually converging into a single picture.

The outline of a core ship gradually took shape under the assembly of countless hands.

Those rune-covered wooden planks and components were cleverly combined to form the hull, deck, power core, defensive barriers, and even attack arrays...

There is so much information!

A deluge of images, complex structures, unfamiliar materials, and profound rune systems... this information surged through Han Ning's consciousness like a raging torrent.

Even though his mental strength is now far beyond that of ordinary people, he still feels dizzy.

The system didn't even provide any specific technical details; just these visuals alone were mentally exhausting.

"How...how am I supposed to get started?"

Han Ning was almost lost in the vast torrent of information, and a sense of bewilderment welled up in his heart.

Shipbuilding is indeed true...

However, the various supporting facilities required for shipbuilding basically require the creation of a complete industrial chain.

He can't even understand the most basic rune circuits now.

Just as he was feeling lost, the will of nature froze these images and arranged them one by one in a list.

At the same time, a stream of information flooded into Han Ning's mind.

"Source Clan shipbuilding, Crystal Energy Rune System..."

They were categorized into distinct groups, forming a crystal-clear directory tree:

Uses of Energy Stone

[Introduction to Basic Crystal Energy Runes of the Source Race]

It covers the basic structure of the Source Clan's energy circuit, the principle of energy guidance, and simple rune carving techniques.

Prerequisite knowledge: None.

[Source Material Processing and Composite Technology]

This includes logging and hardening of raw materials for shipbuilding.

Keel cultivation and metal inlay technology.

Identification and preliminary processing of basic energy minerals.

Prerequisite knowledge: [Introduction to Source Race Basic Crystal Energy Runes].

【Small-scale ship structure of the Origin Clan】

Analysis of the overall frame design, stress distribution, and modular splicing technology of small source-type ships.

Prerequisite knowledge: [Source Clan Primary Material Processing and Composite Technology], [Introduction to Source Clan Basic Crystal Energy Runes].

...

……

Han Ning could choose to learn everything from the most basic crystal energy runes to the shipbuilding industry system of the Origin Clan, from simple to complex, but choosing one of them required consuming a corresponding amount of mental energy.

This vast amount of knowledge is unlike unlocking Druid skills, which he can automatically comprehend and utilize.

Rather, just like borrowing books from a library, nature has already categorized the library's books for him.

What he wants is to unlock specific knowledge based on the content of the images, and then people need to understand the content.

Fortunately, he could use his natural will to understand the meanings contained in these foreign languages ​​and translate them into Chinese.

Otherwise, the translation alone would be a huge undertaking.

Moreover, the will of nature "tells" Han Ning that this is only the answer to his first question; the second question has not yet been answered.

"So their tribe is called the Yuan tribe. Do I have to learn all this knowledge one by one?"

Han Ning held his forehead, feeling utterly helpless.

After a moment, he shook his head.

“We definitely won’t learn it ourselves; we’ll distribute it to everyone in the community so that everyone can learn together.”

The right way is to let people from different fields learn different knowledge, and then bring them together to use their knowledge to build ships.

As if discovering that Han Ning still had some energy left, the images provided by the will of nature began to flash again.

All the images of metal furnaces, exotic woods, and etched runes receded like the tide.

In its place lies a tranquil forest brimming with boundless vitality.

The trees here are towering, with soft light flowing through their branches and leaves, and the air is so fresh it feels like it can cleanse the soul.

Full of harmony.

Beside the gnarled roots of ancient trees, in a forest clearing adorned with blooming flowers, lives an elegant and peculiar humanoid creature—the elf.

They were tall and slender, with slightly upturned ears, near-perfect facial features, and eyes as bright as jewels.

Some elves, dressed in garments woven from green leaves and vines, were barefoot on the damp moss, their hands pressed together, and emerald green orbs of light gathered in their palms.

As the sphere of light fell into the ground, the seeds buried beneath sprouted and grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, quickly forming a small patch of tender green seedlings.

They moved gently, chanting ancient tunes that seemed to soothe the plants and guide them to absorb sunlight and rain more efficiently.

In the light and shadow of the forest, even smaller specks of light danced lightly.

Those were tiny sprites, no bigger than the palm of your hand, with transparent butterfly or dragonfly-like wings.

Their bodies were petite, and their hair fluttered up and down around the new seedlings and mature fruit trees, producing a silvery, playful sound.

As the little sprites flew, they sprinkled dewdrops shimmering with starlight from their fingertips.

These dewdrops fall on the leaves, causing them to unfurl, revealing clear veins and a healthy sheen.

The raindrops fall on the fruit, which then releases an enticing fragrance.

Deep in the forest, a burly man with the appearance of an elf stood before a piece of uncultivated land.

He let out a low roar, and his body swelled and deformed, transforming into a massive forest bear.

The giant bear gently stroked the land, loosening the hardened soil and scattering large amounts of seeds.

After loosening the soil, the giant bear swayed, raised its paw, and shot out a vibrant green light, which was injected into the seeds in the soil that had just been loosened.

The seedling immediately grew rapidly and became vibrant.

Another elven druid transformed into a lithe, glossy-furred cheetah, patrolling the forest and driving away intruders who might devour the seedlings.

This tranquil and peaceful scene flowed slowly through Han Ning's spiritual world, and a new body of knowledge emerged in his consciousness:
