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.
"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?
