After running some calculations to determine Hope One's buoyancy, sliding the ship into the water in reverse seemed to be the best way to do it.
There was another way, which was to have Hope One fastened upright to the boathouse and wait for the water levels to rise to an optimal level before lowering it into the water. However, Su Mo immediately vetoed that method.
For now, the only way to keep the ship in place was to use the modular shipyard's scaffolding.
The quality of the scaffolding was quite good and its structure was stable. With the modular shipyard's capability, nothing would cause it to collapse as long the level of impact did not exceed the structure's breaking point.
It was because of black technology like this that Hope One could properly sit half a meter above the ground, waiting for the waves to come.
