Chapter 861: Ship-building frenzy
The world of Azeroth is rampant with gossip, life soap operas are crazy about ratings, and the people of Azeroth are used to seeing strong winds and waves, and the general big news is completely ignored, small scenes, no need to panic.
However, a special big news instantly occupied the front pages of various news media and attracted the attention of the world.
The Night Empire's first main battleship equipped with a proven technology jump engine has been completed, and is now docked in the harbor of the planet Sarodar Godland.
Named "Light of the New Order", this large main battle battleship is a space battleship with the characteristics of the Night Elf race, and it is estimated that the combat power of this main battleship is comparable to that of the Burning Legion's main evil warship.
The Psionic Jump Engine provides powerful energy power to the ship, and a large-caliber Titan Energy Cannon is mounted at the bow of the shuttle-shaped battleship.
The energy cannon is a huge concentrated crystal, floating directly in front of the bow of the battleship and slowly spinning.
The three small auxiliary crystals are located in the bow of the ship, revolving around the bow of the shuttle-shaped battleship, and three rays of energy light are connected to the main crystals of the concentrating energy directly in front of the bow.
This large-caliber energy cannon can fire energy rays that last for a long time, and as the attack time continues to increase, the damage of the energy beam will gradually increase until it reaches the overload threshold of the Shaped Crystal.
Once the critical point is reached, the crystal energy ray will automatically spread to other targets around the main target, achieving the effect of group attack.
The Night Elves' main ship was not equipped with a secondary cannon, and all the remaining space was equipped with an energy shield generator, providing the ship with a sturdy eggshell that was difficult to break.
There's no way, adhering to the supreme instructions of the old Titan rascal, the life of the long-eared young lady is more important than the aggressiveness of the battleship, even if you kill or injure a young elf lady, it is a major loss for the chickens... Ahem, these are all major losses for the empire, and His Majesty the Titan God Emperor, who is absolutely absolutely not a woman, is naturally worried about the people.
As for the duties and tasks of the battleship's secondary guns, they were directly handed over to the huge and innumerable number of crystal floating cannons and the "Luna Arclight" small fighters.
As soon as this news was announced, it naturally detonated the whole world in an instant.
As for what a psionic jump engine is, the bigwigs of the various factions don't care about the science and technology contained in the engine.
All they know is that with this thing, the vast universe will no longer be out of reach, no matter how far away, it only takes one jump to reach the destination, which is a magical power only owned by gods, but mortals can also be mastered through the development of technology.
In the world of Azeroth, everyone knows how to fly into the sky, after all, in this world where magic exists, it is not difficult to achieve this, and it is not a problem for the mainstream race at all.
Moreover, the gnomes and goblins have long since developed a derivative of rockets by further exploring the technology of their own military missiles.
In Area 52 of the Outlands, goblin engineers like to shoot all sorts of iron lumps into the sky all day long, constantly creating all kinds of cosmic garbage.
But the cosmic leap engine, which is a good thing, can actually be described as a milestone level.
Immediately afterwards, the Night Empire did not hide its secrets, or the Titan Sarodar was happy to see the direction of the world's war being guided out of the sky.
Mimiron's War Lab is now open for Coalition and Horde gnomes and goblin engineers to learn about the Jump Engine.
Oh, of course, this huge cost of study is covered by your own faction.
On the other hand, of course, it is impossible for the Night Empire to come up with something good like the psionic jump engine used at home to make selfless contributions, the first factor is naturally to maintain the absolute superiority of technology, and the second factor is that the technological development direction of both the Alliance and the Horde does not belong to the technology tree type of rune crystal steel creation.
The two of them embarked on the path of technological development based on gunpowder and steel, and they couldn't play with things like crystals, spiritual power, and psionic energy.
Therefore, after some castration simplification and changes by Mimiron, the conventional power version of the jump engine is newly released, which is a basic entry version model, and the main purpose is to let engineers from all walks of life learn this transition technology.
Next, as for how you transform and improve your own or even magic change, that's your own business, after all, the direction of scientific and technological development is different, and the follow-up models that are improved from the basic entry model are naturally completely different.
However, learning the technology of making a jump engine is a very long and high-tech process, so during this period, if anyone wants to build a battleship, they can only buy the finished product from the Night Empire.
On top of that, you'll have to lease the maintenance dock and port of call on the planet Saródar.
The alliance is of course preparing to build that kind of steel war fortress with large artillery and countless secondary guns.
The old tribesmen are biased towards defense and armor thickness, as well as hand-to-hand combat.
That's right, it's the hand-to-hand combat ability of a battleship.
They plan to install a large ramming angle or blade directly in front of their warship and enchant it to be used as an assault ship.
The customer is God, and of course the customer's requirements must be fully satisfied, and War Labs is currently working on their respective schematic drawings for these two major customers.
After all, this kind of monopoly business is a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence, and after the Alliance and the Horde have mastered the technology of making warships, occupied some extraterrestrial colonies, and began to build their own space warships, it will be impossible to make money by killing people like this.
The economy of the countries on the Northern Alliance's side is relatively tight, but it is also a smashing pot and selling iron, and finally an order for a main battle ship was ordered.
Moreover, Lordaeron's requirements are more unique, they require their battleship to be built like a slender flying castle, with a silver-white body in Lordaeron's style, and the towering command tower is designed as a tower of a classical castle, which has a Gothic meaning.
As for the secondary guns of the battleship ... Heck, just stuff it into the castle's decorative windows, and open them when the cannon fires.
To this end, they also specially sent a large number of artists and carvers, intending to decorate and artistically process the exterior of their warship as if they were building a house.
With a strong traditional style of Lordaeron's aristocracy, the Stormwind Kingdom immediately made fun of this matter in its own media, and Lordaeron immediately ridiculed the hillbillies of the Stormwind Kingdom for losing the ancient traditions of mankind.
As for the other neutral faction forces, except for Dalaran, none of them can afford the high cost of building a capital warship alone, and the asking price on the night elves' side is completely out of the sky, so everyone discusses and totals...
Let's crowdfund to buy one, and go up and play together.
A ship-building craze has swept the world, and everyone is very hot for countless planets in the universe.
After all, the invasion and colonization of other worlds have long been experienced by the old Titans.
