Chapter 301: Actually, this battleship is what we used to fish!
"The [plutonium] element...... Elemental model?! Dennis was first amazed at the existence of this new element, and then even more surprised at the so-called elemental model.
"Could it be that what Master [Elemental Master] Artok said is right, and the elements can continue to be divided?"
Dennis's brows couldn't help frowning, the current mainstream doctrine in the wizarding lands tends to be [Elements are indivisible, they are the basis for building the world], because this is the limit of [Material Deconstruction], and they can no longer decompose the basic elements.
The legendary Speaker Artok proposed the theory of elemental redivision, but he suddenly went crazy before he could find empirical evidence, and the notes he wrote also made out the Doomsday Sect, a mad group that believed that the world would come to an end, so it only existed as a hypothesis that was not very reliable.
"Absolutely!" Lynn nodded, "According to the assumptions of some scholars within the [Arcane Society], the elements are composed of the nucleus of an atom and electrons moving around the nucleus. ”
Dennis was very interested in this topic, and quickly asked what the so-called nucleus and electron were.
Lynn didn't explain too much, and excused himself by saying that this was just a magic theory and needed to be demonstrated by relevant experiments.
Although there are more than 100 models of elements in the database of the brain, Lynn can now confirm that only the model of the [plutonium] element is likely to be correct, and more importantly, Dennis, who has not been exposed to quantum theory before, may find it difficult to understand the structure and operation of an atom.
After all, wizards believe that [the whole world operates according to a certain law, and wizards can perform magic by understanding and using these laws], and he even suspects that the legendary speaker known as the [Elemental Master] has come into contact with the microscopic realm, and it is because he can't accept the characteristics of the quantum that he suddenly went crazy.
"Lord Dean, the airship returning from the kingdom of [Hadrata] has arrived." Several apprentices walked in from outside the door and bowed down to report to Lynn.
"Looks like our guests are here!" A smile appeared on Lynn's face, "Let's go, let's go out and have a look." ”
……
At the same time, a massive airship cut through the fog and reached the skies above the port city, where it slowly landed in the specially expanded grounds.
"Is this the land of wizards? I didn't expect there to be such a prosperous place on the other side of the sea......" Fura followed Orlando and the others off the airship, and her eyes kept looking around.
Everything that this seaport city has to offer is new to Fura, and it is completely different from any other city in the kingdom of Hadratha, and even the most prosperous king cannot compare to it.
In fact, the entire royal capital, except for the main city, was dirty, messy, and often had an unpleasant stench.
After living for a long time, Fura didn't feel anything, but when she arrived in Iyeta, she found that a city could be so clean and tidy.
And in just a few moments, she had seen seven airships skimming over the city, and in addition to the usual carriages, there was a very strange iron box in the streets, which could run fast without camels and horses.
In the distance, white smoke was rising from the chimneys of the workshops, which could not be seen in the Kingdom of Hadrata at all.
"What's that? What a big ship?! Anthony's eyes were fixed on the huge ship docked on the sea.
The height of the entire huge ship reached 50 meters, and the length of the ship was more than 100 meters, and on both sides of the ship were rows of hideous gun muzzles, which were erected on the pier and were extremely conspicuous, like a moving island.
"This is a battleship being built, made entirely of steel!" Orlando proudly introduced to everyone, although he hadn't been back to Iyeta for a while, but the battleships had a general framework before he left, so it was naturally not surprising.
"Can a ship made of steel float on the water?" Hamm asked, stunned.
Even Anthony was intrigued, could it be that someone had cast some kind of powerful magic on such a steel ship? But such a large ship, even if it weighs hundreds of tons, the amount of magic consumed is incalculable.
"Absolutely!" Orlando said smugly. "The Dean said that the reason why an object floats on the surface of the water is because the gravitational force is less than the buoyancy of the water......
Orlando used what he had learned from Lynn to explain the theorem of mechanics to the crowd – that an object immersed in a stationary fluid is subjected to a buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid dislodged by the object.
So you only need to use the formula, the mass is divided by the volume to calculate the density, as long as it is smaller than water, it will naturally be able to float, for example, their steel battleship, the bottom compartment is actually hollow, so the part that sinks to the bottom of the water, the overall density is much smaller than that of water.
"As long as this condition is met, anything can float on the water, and Dean Lynn also invented a new word called displacement! That's the tonnage of water a ship dislodges in the water......" Orlando gushes. "There will be a few more ships like this, and when the time comes, one voyage will be able to bring back enough fish for tens of thousands of people to eat for a whole week!"
Catch fish?! Everyone present was a little unrelievable, they had just heard Orlando boast about how powerful this steel ship was, but now they actually told them that this thing was used for fishing, which was a little difficult to accept for a while.
Orlando pouted, in fact he thought it was overkill, but Dean Lynn apparently didn't think so.
According to Lynn, the construction is all made anyway, and you can't be idle when there is no war, and the use of fishing can not only create benefits, improve the diet of the townspeople, but also maybe shoot a few more sea beasts for the gunners to practice their accuracy.
Instead of looking at the towering ironclad ships, as Fura and the others did, Raeder kept an eye on the passing paupers, everyone dressed appropriately, a beautiful garment that only the nobles could usually afford, but now wore on the shipwrights who carried the goods......
"How can they be willing to wear such beautiful clothes when they are carrying goods, and what if they are torn?" Hamm said rather distressedly.
Orlando on the side responded with a funny remark. "It's nothing in Iyeta, every day the workers of the magic workshop can produce tens of thousands of meters of cloth, and you can buy a decent dress here for just five copper coins."
