Kalimdor Continent, Floating Island III, Black Rope City.

Hesuo hadn't returned to his Happy Palace for seven or eight days to enjoy life, and since the staff of the weapons research and development department told him that there had been a major breakthrough in the prototype plan, Hesuo put down everything he was doing and rushed back to the engineering workshop in Hesso City to personally supervise the scene.

The prototype project is a war machine project personally proposed and focused on by His Majesty the Eternal Night God Emperor, and after learning of the attitude of his Titan master, Hesso listed this plan as a top priority project.

The master handed over this plan to the Heisuo chaebol to develop, and in Heisuo's opinion, this is a symbol of attention and trust, so he worked hard and vowed to do it beautifully.

In the huge open-air workshop in the middle of Hesso, a large number of goblin engineers are busy running around with the assistance of Draenei crystal technicians.

The huge steel scaffolding was now filled with goblins and draenei holding design drawings to each other, and from time to time they were gesturing on the fixed bodies in the scaffolding.

The Prototype Project, also known as the Chosen Colossus.

Ever since the Great Project of the Divine Chosen Holy Cult Army officially began, the Eternal Night God Emperor has attached great importance to and has been concerned about the upgrading of the Holy Cult's weapons.

In the scaffolding is fixed a giant steel structure more than 30 meters high, this war machine is very elven style, the streamlined appearance is engraved with many artistic rune patterns, and there are exquisite relief patterns specially carved by elven artists on both sides of the body.

The steel structure is supported by four slender mechanical legs, the joints of which are inlaid with power and protective crystals specially made by Draenei technicians, and the goblin engineers have installed a concealed cannon barrel from the continent in the legs.

In peacetime, these barrels are all retracted into the inside of the mechanical legs, but in wartime, the dense barrels will stick out, giving the enemy the most intense barrage fire.

On the front of the streamlined body, a silver-white cannon stretched forward, and there were several rotational gear-like parts on the barrel.

This energy cannon borrows from the Eye of Sargeras energy cannon and the energy rifle technology in the hands of the Minotaur machine gunner.

The elite engineers of the Black Rope Chaebol reversely studied the energy rifle, although many of the technical principles of it were not yet understood because the technology tree was not as high as it was lit, but a small amount of understanding was enough to call it a huge progress, at least the goblins figured out the most basic part of the operation principle of this thing, and based on it.

The energy cannon installed by the Chosen Colossus, after being charged through the crystal, can emit a laser-like lethal energy ray, according to preliminary theoretical estimates, the power of this energy ray is comparable to the 320 caliber justice cannon behind the steel Goron.

The core position of the Colossus was still empty at the moment, because in the request put forward by the Holy Cult Army, this Divine Chosen Colossus must also sublimate the spiritual will of a Holy Cult Army in the same way that the Divine Chosen Immortal did.

The Cultists have a fanatical interest in giving up their bodies and stuffing their souls and all their spirits into a single body of steel.

Moreover, this kind of mechanical creation with a soul is more powerful and intelligent than those cold steel golems without a soul.

"The Colossus prototype is tested for the first time, and all personnel are in place!"

The loudspeakers in the workshop made a screeching announcement, and the goblins and draenei quickly arrived at their assigned locations, waiting for the test to begin.

The scaffolding is moved away from the rails at the bottom, and the prototype Colossus is temporarily powered by a remote-controlled Steel Star control.

"Forward!" shouted Hesuo, standing in the observation room at the top of the workshop, holding up the microphone.

The power crystals began to charge, and the rune lines on the Colossus's body began to flow with a glowing stream of energy.

The four mechanical legs stomped heavily on the spot a few times, and a white air stream erupted from the joints.

"It's moving, it's moving!Hahaha, this baby is moving!"

The engineers watched as the Colossus prototype took a few steady steps forward, supporting its upper steel body, which turned around with agility like a tank turret.

"Check the parameters of the indicators, I want to make this baby's data up to the perfect standard!" said Hesso's excited voice from the loudspeaker.

With that, Hesso dropped the microphone, turned around and rushed downstairs to the workshop, watching as the giant war machine slowly retreated into the scaffolding, firmly held in place again.

"So far, it's not bad, the master is about to launch the second quicksand battle, this Colossus prototype can be tested in this war! Send a team of accompanying engineers, I want to make the Chosen Colossus reach the standard of mass production within half a year after the end of the war!"

"No problem, boss!" replied the Engineer leader in a high-pitched voice.

Eternal Night Palace, the main hall of assembly.

Aurelia cleaned up the clutter as she glanced at the blueprints and reports of the Chosen Colossus.

"You're going to ask Hesso to get you a new toy?"

Boss Hu, who was struggling to write a book on a stack of documents, raised his head when he heard this, "What a toy, this is a large war machine in the future of the Holy Cult Army, a very important part Okay, the Holy Cult Army's current heavy armored forces are weak, and this gap must be filled as soon as possible." ”

Aurelia shook her head, "I don't understand why you're so interested in these mechanical creations, isn't it enough to have mages and ranger troops, but also Iron Goron and the Progenitor Thorn Beast." ”

"Of course not enough, it's not a thing of a nature at all ... Besides, in the face of steel and gunpowder, no matter how strong the flesh is, it is still the flesh after all, and I don't want the Imperial army to become a deformed technology that is seriously backward in individual weapon technology like the Burning Legion, and its own flesh and various fleet teleportation technologies are incomparably developed. ”

Riding on a space battleship and holding a cold weapon in hand, the Burning Legion can also be regarded as an exemplary representative of deformed development.

"Let the reloading fanatics in. ”

Aurelia was wondering when she saw a tall, muscular figure striding in.

The power armor of the Chosen Zealot was incomparably thicker, and the whole person was visibly enlarged by more than a circle, and the shoulder armor on both sides became semicircular, covered with sharp steel spikes.

The energy swords on his arms were also longer and thicker than those of the average fanatic, and even more different, he carried a long stick-like columnar steel pipe behind his back.

Boss Hu nodded, and the heavy gear fanatic took the steel long stick in his hand, and a huge energy war hammer instantly condensed at the top.

And a little down the neck, a banner embroidered with the Eye of Truth stood firmly fixed and erected, straight up from the back, and at the top of the banner was a barbed steel ring with an energy-state Eye of Truth mark suspended in the ring.

"Sometimes it feels like you're the real gnomes ... At least I'm sure the gnomes can't make the kind of steel giants on the blueprints, and this terrifying power armor. ”

Aurelia was stunned, then sighed.

"If this continues, will you soon eliminate the bow and arrow, and eliminate our rangers? ”

Boss Hu waved his hand, signaling that the reloaded fanatic could step back.

"For the Emperor!

The fanatic saluted, then respectfully withdrew.

"Backward cold weapons such as bows and arrows will inevitably withdraw from the stage of war, and the future will be a world where steel, gunpowder and magic are intertwined. ”

Boss Hu looked longing, but then saw that Aurelia's face was a little worried and tangled, so he turned to comfort.

"Don't worry, elite rangers like you will never disappear, but the weapons will soon be upgraded. ”

"In my vision, the rangers will be transformed into a different kind of duty and mission. ”

"You will be ghosts in the shadows, snipers who harvest life in the distance. ”

Aurelia's face softened a lot.

"That's good, there are some traditions, and it's better for us to keep them. ”

Boss Hu nodded when he heard this.

"Of course, tradition cannot be abandoned, but it can be gradually improved and developed as technology progresses. ”
