Chapter 313 -301: Actually, This Battleship Is What We Use for Fishing!
“Plutonium element… an elemental model?!” Dennis was firstly astonished that such a new element actually existed, and then even more surprised by the so-called elemental model.
“Could it be that Lord Altoc, the Elemental Controller, was right, and elements can be further divided?”
Dennis’s brow furrowed involuntarily, as the mainstream theory in Wizard Land tended toward elements being indivisible, the building blocks of the world, because this was the limit of the Material Decompilation Skill—they could not further decompose the basic elements.
Legendary Councilman Altoc had indeed proposed the theory of further element division, but he had gone mad suddenly without finding empirical evidence. His notes even led to the creation of doomsday cults that believed the world would face an apocalypse, so it merely existed as a rather unreliable hypothesis.
“Of course, they can!” Lynn nodded, “According to some scholars’ hypotheses within the Secret Magic Society, an element consists of a nucleus and electrons that move around the nucleus.”

Dennis was very interested in this topic and promptly inquired about what exactly this nucleus and electrons were.
...
Lynn did not explain much more, excusing it by saying that it was still just a magic theory, needing relevant experiments for verification.
Although the brain’s data library had models for over a hundred elements, the only model Lynn could now confirm with high probability as correct was that of the plutonium element. More importantly, Dennis, who had never encountered quantum theory before, would probably find it difficult to understand the composition and operation of an atom.
After all, wizards believe that “the entire world operates according to certain specific laws, and wizards deploy magic by understanding and utilizing these laws.” He even suspected that the Councilman, touted as an Elemental Controller, had reached the microscopic realm because he could not accept quantum characteristics and had hence gone mad.
“Dean, the aerocraft returning from the Kingdom of Hadlata has arrived,” several apprentices walked in from outside, bowing and reporting to Lynn.
“Looks like our guests have arrived!” A smile appeared on Lynn’s face, “Come, let’s go out and have a look.”
…
Meanwhile, a massive flying ship pierced through thick fog to arrive over the port city and landed slowly in a specially expanded area.
“Is this Wizard Land? I never imagined that beyond the ocean, there would be such a bustling place…” Fula followed Orlando and the others off the aircraft, constantly looking around.
Everything displayed in this port city was novel to Fula, distinctly different from any city in the Kingdom of Hadlata, even incomparable to the most bustling capital.
In fact, aside from the main urban area of the entire capital, other places were dirty and messy, usually accompanied by an unpleasant stench.
Having lived there long, Fula didn’t find anything amiss, but only after arriving in Yiyeta did she realize that a city could be so clean and orderly.
And in just a short while, she had already seen seven flying ships sweeping across the city’s sky. Apart from common carriages on the streets, there was also a very strange iron box, without beasts or horses pulling it, yet it could run swiftly.
In the distance, chimneys of various workshops were puffing out white smoke, something completely unseen in the Kingdom of Hadlata.
“What is that? Such a big ship?!” Anthony’s gaze was focused on the huge ships moored on the sea.
The entire warship was fifty meters high and even longer than a hundred meters, with arrays of fierce cannon ports on both sides of the ship, standing prominently at the dock like a moving island.
“This is a battleship under construction, made entirely of steel!” Orlando introduced proudly, although he hadn’t returned to Yiyeta for a while, but the framework of these battleships was already there before he left, so naturally, it wasn’t a surprise.
“A ship made of steel can float on water?” Ham asked, astonished.
Even Anthony was quite interested. Could it be that some powerful magic had been applied to this steel behemoth? For such a large ship, probably weighing hundreds of tons, the magic power consumption must be unimaginable.
“Of course, it can!” Orlando said with pride. “The Dean said that an object floats on water because the gravity it encounters is less than the buoyancy of the water…”
Orlando, using the knowledge learned from Lynn, proceeded to explain the laws of mechanics to those present—the hydrostatic uplift on a body submerged in a static fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces.
Therefore, by applying the formula, dividing mass by volume to calculate density, as long as it is less than that of water, it can naturally float. For instance, their steel warships had a hollowed-out lower chamber. Thus, the part submerged underwater had a total density much less than that of water.
“As long as this condition is met, anything can float on water. Dean Lynn even coined a new term called ‘displacement’—the tonnage of water displaced by a ship in the water…” Orlando continued his enthusiastic introduction. “More ships like this will be built. In one voyage, they can bring back enough fish to feed ten thousand people for a whole week!”
Catching fish?! Those present were somewhat unable to follow; they had just been listening to Orlando boasting about how impressive the steel behemoth was, and now they were being told it was meant for fishing, which was a bit hard for them to accept.
Orlando curled his lip, feeling it was somewhat of an overkill too, but Dean Lynn obviously didn’t think so.
According to Lynn, since it had already been built, it couldn’t just sit idle when there were no wars. Using it for fishing would not only be profitable, enhancing the town’s diet, but could also provide a chance to practice the gunners’ accuracy by hunting a few sea creatures.
Ryder, unlike Fula and the others, didn’t focus his attention on the imposing ironclad ships, but instead noticed the passing poor people dressed adequately; such beautiful clothing was typically only affordable by nobles but was now worn by these shipping dockworkers…
“Such beautiful clothes, how can they bear to wear them while moving goods, what if they get torn?” Ham said, feeling sorry.
On the side, Orlando responded with a laugh. “This is nothing in Yiyeta, every day the magic workshops can produce fabric stretching over ten thousand meters, here you can buy a nice outfit for just five copper coins.”
