Chapter 301: In Fact, This Battleship is Meant for Fishing!

"Plutonium... an elemental model?!" Dennis was first amazed at the existence of this new element, but more so by the concept of an elemental model.

"Could it be that the 'Elemental Controller' Lord Althok was right, that elements can still be further divided?"

Dennis furrowed his brows. The prevailing belief among the wizards was that "elements are indivisible, forming the foundation of the world." This belief stemmed from the limits of "Material Deconstruction." They couldn't break down basic elements any further.

The legendary councilor, Althok, had proposed the theory of further dividing elements. However, he went mad before proving it and wrote notes that birthed a fanatical sect predicting the world's end. Hence, it remained an unreliable hypothesis.

"Of course!" Lynn nodded, "According to hypotheses from some scholars within the Society of Mystical Arts, elements are composed of atomic nuclei and orbiting electrons."

Dennis was highly intrigued by this topic and hurriedly inquired about what these supposed atomic nuclei and electrons were.

Lynn didn't delve into much detail, dismissing it as magical theory needing experimental validation.

While the databanks of the mind had models of over a hundred elements, Lynn could only confirm the probable correctness of the plutonium model. Moreover, for Dennis, unfamiliar with quantum theory, understanding the construction and functioning of an atom would be challenging.

After all, wizards believed "the entire world operates according to specific laws, and through understanding and applying these laws, they wield magic." Lynn even suspected that the self-proclaimed 'Elemental Controller' councilor, having possibly touched the realm of the microscopic, went mad due to an inability to accept quantum properties.

"Lord Principal, the skyship returning from the Kingdom of Hadralata has arrived," a few apprentices entered from outside, bowing to report to Lynn.

"It seems our guests have arrived!" A smile graced Lynn's face. "Let's go out together and see."

Meanwhile, a colossal airship pierced through dense fog, arriving over the harbor city and slowly descending onto a specially constructed landing site.

"Is this the Land of Wizards? I never expected such a bustling place on the other side of the sea..." Flora followed Orlando and others off the airship, her gaze constantly roaming around.

Everything displayed by this harbor city was novel to Flora, utterly different from any city in the Kingdom of Hadralata. Even the most prosperous capital there couldn't compare.

In fact, beyond the main city area, everywhere was dirty, messy, usually emitting an unpleasant stench.

Having lived there for so long, Flora hadn't felt anything amiss, but arriving at Iyeta, she discovered a city could be this clean and tidy. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

In just a short while, she'd spotted seven airships soaring over the city. Besides the common carriages on the streets, there were peculiar iron boxes moving swiftly without beasts or horses to pull or push, yet they raced along.

From chimneys in distant workshops, white smoke 'puffed' out, something unheard of in the Kingdom of Hadralata.

"What's that? Such a huge ship?!" Anthony's gaze fixated on the massive ship anchored on the sea.

The entire warship stood fifty meters tall, with a length exceeding a hundred meters. Rows of menacing gunports lined its sides, towering prominently at the dock, resembling a moving island.

"This is a battleship under construction, entirely forged from steel!" Orlando proudly introduced to everyone. Although he had been away from Iyeta for a while, these battleships had a rough frame even before he left, so this wasn't surprising.

"A ship made of steel can float on water?" Ham asked incredulously.

Even Anthony was quite intrigued. Had someone applied powerful magic to such a large ship? But a ship this size, weighing perhaps hundreds of tons, would consume immeasurable magic power.

"Of course!" Orlando proudly stated. "Lord Principal mentioned that an object floats on water because the gravity acting on it is less than the buoyancy of water..."

Utilizing knowledge acquired from Lynn, Orlando explained the mechanics theorem—objects submerged in a static fluid experience a buoyant force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid.

So, by using the formula, dividing the mass by volume, they could calculate density. As for their steel warship, its bottom compartments were hollow, making the part submerged far less dense than water.

"As long as this condition is met, anything can float on water. Lord Lynn also coined a new term—'displacement'! It's the tonnage of water displaced by a vessel in water..." Orlando enthusiastically introduced. "With ships like these, a few more will be built, and then, one voyage could bring back enough fish to feed tens of thousands for a whole week!"

Fishing?! The people present struggled to comprehend. They had just heard Orlando boast about the prowess of this steel giant, only to be told now that it was meant for fishing. It was somewhat hard to accept.

Orlando shrugged. He found it a bit of an overkill, but Lord Lynn apparently didn't think so.

According to Lynn, since the ship was already constructed, during times of peace, it shouldn't remain idle. Using it for fishing not only generated profit and improved the townsfolk's diet but might even give the gunners some practice by hunting a few sea creatures.

Unlike Flora and the others who gazed at the towering ironclad, Raydell paid attention to the passing poor folk. Everyone was well-dressed in fine attire usually seen only on nobles, yet these were worn by laborers transporting goods...

"Such beautiful clothes, how can they bear wearing them while moving goods? What if they get torn?" Ham expressed concern.

Orlando chuckled in response. "That's nothing in Iyeta. Every day, the magic workshops produce cloth lengths extending over ten thousand meters. Here, five copper coins can buy a decent outfit."

A melding of fantasy, technology, and magical lore, woven intricately in the passage! How did I do capturing the essence of the text's transformation?
