Chapter 1013 - Teacher Trey
Those that fell into the water wanted to chew the heads of these Baymardians off.
Dammit!
These crazy sons of b**ches will pay!
At the same time, other dragias who had fallen abruptly quickly got up, massaged their chins and rushed towards the already strained ropes.
Presently, there were only two ropes tied at the front of the ship by the dragias.
These were the ropes they used to slide down onto Trey's ship.
The Baymardian ship had stood at a distance that only allowed them to tie just these two ropes there.
If they wanted to tie more, then they needed the other Temple sh.i.p.s to inch in closer.
But earlier on, the Primates thought that it was unnecessary.
For them, provided they got people on board the Baymardian ship, then they should be able to take down these stupid Baymardians.
But how could they have known that they had miscalculated some key points?
The sea-through windows should be made of glass, no?
So why was it that no matter how hard they tried to break it, it wouldn't shatter?
They could break glass cups and other see-through glass parts. So why was this one different?
At this point, they started thinking if they had got it wrong.
Could it be that it wasn't glass?
Well, this assumption was in fact, correct.
It was high fortified clear plastic.
Some might find similar rules used by airplane windows and so on.
Everyone quickly tried to stabilize themselves while back on their feet.
As for Trey, he was now in his crazy mode.
.
After reversing and brutally throwing some people off, Trey once again pulled the lever upwards, advanced towards the leading ship.
Trey smiled calmly while looking at the crazy amount of dragias, who jumped onto the massive slanted windows as if they were zombies in an apocalypse.
Seeing this, Trey didn't lose his cool.
Instead, he was more excited to begin his lecture.
Heh. It seems that these dragias were in dire need of a lesson on Mechanics 101.
Trey smiled playfully while talking to his helpless crew, who by the way, were still strapped up against the wall.
"Gentlemen, ladies... How about we begin a brief lecture?"
[Coast Guards: "_"
Everyone didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Was now really a good time for this?
Can't he see that there were people constantly trying to break in?
It's official. The Admiral had lost it.
Trey chuckled before getting serious.
"Newton's 3rd law. Go!"
"Admiral! It states that for every action in nature, there is an equal and opposite reaction that balances everything in equilibrium."
Trey nodded in satisfaction: "Good. Now put this in our scenario. Go!"
"Admiral! Earlier on, when we reversed, the force applied to reverse was equivalent to the face that resisted us."
"Excellent. I like quick thinkers.
Now, let's analyze things deeply, shall we?"
Everyone looked at the crazed dragias outside and truly wanted to cry.
'Admiral, we mean no disrespect. But don't you see that the situation is urgent?'
(-_-)
.
Trey calmly ran his fingers through his eye while staring at the enraged dragons outside.
It'll take a lot more than this if these people think they would be able to break in.
Funny enough, he hadn't even released some secret weapons around the deck, windows and doors that would leave some dead, choked, and even temporarily blinded.
What a joke!
He wasn't about to waste all that on such a simple thing.
.
Trey looked at the controls while speaking.
"Everyone, listen up!
Our ship currently has 2 ropes tied by the dragias to the front of the ship, very close to each other.
So we can estimate that they're tied up in more or less the same spot.
Just now, the lead enemy ship was positioned in a way that its side faced our ship.
In this way, we can see most of the deck and those on it.
Now, the 2 ropes tied to our ship... all spread and lead towards different areas at the side of the lead enemy ship.
The whole thing creates an image of an isosceles triangle."
Everyone nodded while thinking of the scene they had seen earlier on.
The ropes were tied on two different areas on the side of the enemy sh.i.p.s that were almost evenly spread out.
"Lectures aren't over yet!
Thinking of everything we know, from the radar and controls, we can also see the distance between our ship and the enemy's.
Additionally, since we know that the lines and everything else maps similarly to that of an isosceles triangle... we can also accurately estimate two of the angles and other factors that will aid us in calculating the resultant forces.
Now, if we know the forces needed to keep everything in balance, then we'll be able to deduce the force, speed and direction we need to break free!
Now, the only question… was what would happen when we do so.
There are two possibilities once we broke free; Either the ropes would snap, or one of the railings would break.
Tell me, aren't you all curious to find out which one would snap or break first?"
[Coast Guards]: ('^')
.
The strapped-in crewmates looked at Trey pitifully.
Sigh... They might as well give up and give in to the madness.
Their Admiral wasn't panicked. So why should they?
They had to admit that they were indeed curious.
As per science, the 2 wooden railings on the enemy ship holding the rules had now split the force and pressure amongst themselves... Lessening the strain on them.
And coupled with the fact that the wooden railing had more support from the entire railing structure, many were more inclined to believe that it would be the ropes that snapped.
But then again, ropes now were as thick as a person's wrists.
So they weren't too sure about the matter.
Mr. Rope vs Mr. Railings.
Which would snap first?
.
Teacher Trey, who had been speaking all this while, had been calculating and estimating the speed, force, direction and everyone else needed for his next move.
One shouldn't forget that all this time, he had been slowly advancing, decreasing the tension on the rules, making them weak and loose, so much so that they were almost touching the water.
With everything settled, he calmly made adjustments, turned the meters and controls to what he d.e.s.i.r.ed before smiling playfully.
At the same time, the Primates who saw the Baymardian ship stop abruptly, suddenly felt uneasy.
Something wasn't right!
