Ship launching was both a ceremony and a challenge at the same time.
Putting aside the various dockside trials that would be conducted on modern warships, even common fisherman boats would undergo a series of tests before entering the water.
From the leak test to the inclining test, and even the test for the operating system's bugs—there would be a technical specialist who would conduct the test and make the necessary modifications.
These tests were very important. If the vessel failed even one test, it was entirely possible for it to fall apart when encountering a situation that exceeded the tested parameters.
However, it was truly unfortunate it was not possible, given the wasteland's situation, to conduct any of these tests!
Setting aside the dockside trials for Su Mo's 80-meter destroyer, even if it was a small rowboat just a few meters long, there was still no body of water for him to conduct the sea trials.
