"This time, we'll change the model arrangement to a diagonal pattern and increase the amount of water poured to 20 liters. Is that acceptable?"
"...I've noted it all down. Proceed."
"Understood."
What we're doing now is an experiment.
In a wide tank with a slope, water is poured from one side, while on the opposite side, dozens of palm-sized small tetrapods have been dumped.
We're conducting experiments to see how well the breakwater holds up depending on its arrangement and the direction and intensity of the waves.
As Harriot nodded, strong men standing by on one side simultaneously removed a partition from the water-filled tank.
Whoooosh!
And so... the breakwater...
"Indeed... receiving the impact diagonally makes it much stronger in resistance. However, the load on the front section is too great."
It remained intact.
The reason we're all gathered here is quite simple.
Because I'm not a civil engineering major.
