Deep Sixed: Extended Edition

Drown the Battleships

In my house, I decided to participate Aubrey's toy boat race. She told me that the park now has a large pond that can fit a track. She is still finishing it but soon it would be finish this Friday so the boat race can happen next day.

I tried making a boat, and it floats on the sink. All it needs to do is to power it with motors. So I contacted Molly to help me finish the boat.

We met, and then we did this in garage trying to modify the boat.

Molly: Hey Jonathan!

Jonathan: Hey Molly. I am joining Aubrey's boat race.

Molly: I heard that in your call, so I brought some motors to create some movement.

Jonathan: So, how do we attach it?

Molly: Is the inside of the boat hollow?

Jonathan: Yes.

Molly: Ok, let's put it in there.

Jonathan: Just make sure to follow Archimedes principle because it could sink if we put too much mass.

So we tried to make the boat go automatic, and then we put in some extra designs, but at the end, it looked like a Titanic, and we hope that this one doesn't sank.

After putting it together, we tried put in some bit of a defense because in Aubrey's boat race, we also have to kill each other. And apparently most of their weapons are lobbing objects, we make sure that the boat is out of metal, which most of the base of the boat is made out of. We just have to put a defensive top armor and we can win weaponless, unless we tried to ram each other for aggression, so we put in defensive spikes too.

However, Charlemagne heard about this boat race and she heard that I am also participating the race, do she joined the too. With the help of Dorian and his dad, she made her own too.

Dorian: Hey Charlemagne, what do you need?

Charlemagne: I need to make a boat. Here it is, it floats, but I can't run it with remote control.

Dorian: Don't worry, I have someone that can help you. Dad! Can you help Charlemagne to make the boat run in remote control?

Mr. Mendocino: Oh, don't worry. Let me see what I can do.

Few hours later.

Mr. Mendocino: Well it's done... Look at the boat, now it can travel up to faster speeds.

Charlemagne: We should test it at the pool.

So they tested it on the pool, and it goes fast.

Dorian: Wow, this is actually fast.

Charlemagne: I know, I'm sure I can win this!

Dorian: Uhh, about that... The other teams has weapons.

Mr. Mendocino: Oh don't worry, we installed cannonballs that can flung so fast that it can break the ship's walls.

Charlemagne: Ok, how do I do it?

Dorian: Press this button.

So Charlemagne presses the button, and fires a round the made a dent on Mr. Mendocino's property. Seeing the damage, Dorian warned me later.

In the campus.

Dorian: Jonathan! Charlemagne joined Aubrey's boat race!

Jonathan: What!?

Dorian: She doesn't know that you are joining. Do you have a weapon?

Jonathan: No, just spikes and the boat is made out of alloy that can only be dented, not pierced.
