"This thing is... a lot bigger than the prototype ship launched by the Tower of Stars." Humboldt craned his neck to look at the starship under construction, and this was just its appearance while it was still horizontal.
All the sections of the Starship had already taken shape. Given the strength of the available materials, allowing such a large and heavy hull to remain horizontal would cause unacceptable deformation.
So, they had simply installed a Static Force Field in the workshop. Numerous arched pillars were positioned over the Starship, continuously emitting a field based on the Floating Skill.
Creating a true zero-gravity environment wasn't quite possible, but both the hull and the personnel working within the Force Field could experience a low-gravity environment similar to that on the moon's surface.
