Chapter 141: The Flood of Dike and Diversion (2 more)
The world of Azeroth is a world where both the technological side and the fantasy side coexist.
There are not only the demon king Sargeras, who is a super individual who pierces the planet with one blow, but also the space fleet or something. At the time of the Second Battle of the Dark Gate, artillery had already been installed on the side of the Ironforge Dwarves.
It's just that on the human side, there are still backward breech guns, generally more than a ton of heavy barrels, so that most of them cannot be used in field battles, and can only be used as fortress guns or naval guns.
The barrel is too heavy, and the biggest reason is that the bore casting process is not up to standard.
At present, the clay mold casting method is used to make cannons. This cast cannon has many casting defects inside, and the material strength is poor. Compared with a weapon that requires high strength such as a cannon, it can only increase the thickness of the barrel wall to increase the strength, so it is very bulky.
However, the appearance of sand sculpture players, these real * hanging forces directly changed the alliance's technology tree.
In fact, McDonald thought about it, is the most awesome traverser a mold worker?
He's not anyway.
But there are sand sculpture players!
They offered to help McDonald get artillery.
Well, anyway, there is a mine at home, so it doesn't matter, just toss.
If you don't have a mold, you can do it yourself by turning the sand.
The general idea is to first make a mold of your choice from a flat plank, then pour in sand and press it hard to give it shape. The wooden board is removed, and the molten iron is poured into the sand mold, and finally a rough iron mold is obtained.
This is certainly not usable, and the iron mold must be polished. In the absence of electric abrasives, it is very hard to polish with a file by hand, and after smoothing, it is further polished with sandpaper.
It's quite time-consuming, and you can't do it with a little patience.
Once the grinding is complete, the molten metal can be injected into the iron mold.
Luckily, the Stratholme Collar has a metal that's even more powerful than copper and iron—Thorsilver!
The metal properties of this thing are stronger than most crude steel, which allows Stratholme to skip things like building a blast furnace for a while.
Of course, to this day, when the standard version of a 12.5kg piece of Thorium silver ingot is fried to 40 gold coins, a Thorsilver cannon weighing more than 1 ton is worth more than 3,500 gold in the metal alone. Not to mention the other manpower and material resources required for casting.
When this thing came out, I don't know how many knights drooled at it - if this was used to make armor, how many sets of full-body armor could be made?
The loser has lost to this point, and it is recognized that the Duke of Stratholme, who has a mine at home, can afford to play.
The red-coated cannon in the ancient Celestial Empire had a range of 1,500 meters in the old version.
The performance of this 88mm caliber Tsersilver cannon is not easy to say. After all, it is an experimental product, and there is no rifling in the barrel.
However, in line with the idea that this thing is hard enough not to explode, the dead operator (player) filled it with more than 300 rounds of soybean-sized iron lumps in one go, which was called [Soybean Bomb], and blasted out with [Dense Explosive Powder].
A furious beam of iron sand swept across the Northland Fortress.
The orc rider only felt a dark curtain covering the sky, and there was no way to hide.
It's miserable!
The beautiful and cool dragon eagle looks at it from afar, and the edges of its wings are as bright as blood.
Now it's really bloody.
The small wing membrane was full of holes, large and small, and the sharp dying screams of the dragon eagle and the screams of the orc riders reverberated throughout the valley even after the fall.
There was a frenzied cheer from the human side.
"Oooo
"Dead, right? Dead, right? ”
"You want to fly over and attack us? You're trying to eat fart! ”
The soldiers didn't care how much it cost to build a one-ton gun, they just knew that these big, exaggerated-looking guys could guard the top of their heads, and that was enough.
Lately, they've heard a lot about the horrors of their fellow humans when Soradin's Wall fell.
Now that there is a new patronus, they certainly celebrate with impunity.
Looking at the golden figures that flashed on the walls of the fortress from time to time, Orgrim and Zuluhid were speechless for a long time.
Stratholme is indeed an iron turtle, and don't think about crashing into it until the orcs have the logistics in mind.
So, the orcs happily (helplessly) decided to make a fuss about the elves first and turn this wonderful forest into their own hunting ground.
It's like a flood. Floodwaters will always rush to the side where there is no levee.
Genie...... In this way, a certain duke who was bursting with self-preservation consciousness was miserable.
Aurelia and the others persevered for almost a month, but they were still helplessly pushed all the way to the edge of the Yongsong Forest by the army of orcs and trolls.
I thought that this was the limit of orcs, but I didn't expect that something happened to the rune circle that the high elves were proud of.
It was a six-story building, almost trapezoidal, black boulder.
"I ...... It took my ancestors and my ancestors for countless generations to break through this damn defense. Zu Jin said with great resentment.
Looking at the rune stone on the rune stone that resembled the pattern of the Celestial Empire's women's toilet, and the rune stone with the word [earth] added below, Ogrim knew that this was not an area that he could meddle in.
"Gul'dan!?"
"Huh! We're here to help, my Great Chief. Dogskin stepped forward without smiling and looked at it carefully.
Most of the people in the world only remember Gul'dan's cruelty and insidiousness, and remember his terrifying evil magic, but few people have noticed that he is a rare master of space magic.
Just ask, how can a guy who doesn't have a little spatial magic level make a dark door?
The rune array that the elves are proud of is not worth mentioning in front of the dog who is a demigod-level mage. In fact, he can break the formation immediately.
Dogan will not let go of this opportunity to knock on the bamboo pole of the big chief.
"It can be cracked, but I need a sacrifice! Lots of living offerings! There was a sly glint in the dog's eyes.
He had a different heart.
During the siege of Stormwind, Medivin was attacked by human forces, which affected the spiritual connection between him and Gul'dan.
Knowing that Medivan's death was near, Gul'dan tried to infiltrate his consciousness in search of Sargeras' powers, but when his spirit infiltrated Medivan's soul, Medivan hung up.
The mental storm caused by the demigod-level mage before his death affected the dog, causing the dogan to fall into a long sleep. By the time he awoke, Orgrim had already consolidated his power by killing the Gul'dan Puppet Chief Black Hand and eliminating the Shadow Council.
Now that Orgrim had asked for him, he would certainly take the opportunity to unleash a wave of evil powers.
As soon as Orgrim heard this, he knew that he was going to come in another wave like opening the Dark Gate to sacrifice the Draenei, and he instinctively frowned.
But he finally agreed.
"Give that prisoner of the Golden Mist Village to Gul'dan first!" He so instructed Varok Sarufar.
That night, the elves' rune array collapsed, and the orcs invaded Yangfan Harbor in a big way......
And the Sun King, who burned his eyebrows, was really shocked for the first time, and urgently sent a messenger for help, and arrived through the newly built portal in Lordaeron City through Dalaran.
