Zhang Li didn't just care about picking up girls in the past six months, his factory earned at least 2,000 gold a month, and after the goblin came, it doubled, 4,000 gold, according to the share dividends, how could he get 1,300 gold a month, plus the filial piety he received by virtue of his position and the disgraceful income he received by emulating those principals and the like on the earth (such as renting the canteen to his relatives and the like, Zhang Li has no relatives, so the one with the highest price will get it).

In the past six months, he has saved six or seven thousand gold, to say the least, and of course he must make good use of such a large amount of money.

In Azeroth, he will never forget what is most important, it is now the end of the twentieth year of the opening of the dark door, four years later, no, in fact, it will only be three years, three years later, that is, in the twenty-fourth year of the dark calendar, o The plot of the sixties will officially begin, the heart of the molten fire, the nest of the black wings, the wall of beetles...... All of Azeroth will be mired in a fierce war, the world will go through various crises, and the Alliance and the Horde will begin their long war, which will continue for more than a decade with no end in sight.

So, the most important thing in Azeroth is power.

If the gold coin is not moving, it is a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron, which is only the most valuable when it becomes power, so Zhang Li built this small war airship.

The airship is made by goblins, and the reason why Zhang Li has to pull the goblins in is to attack the human chamber of commerce here, and on the other hand, he takes a fancy to their war potential.

After playing for so long, Zhang Li will never forget the war airships of the tribe, whether it is to defeat the Lich King or fight for Pandaria with the Alliance, and even later the invasion of the Burning Legion, the war airships are extremely brilliant.

It can be said that the war airship is the aircraft carrier of Azeroth, and the general flying mount looks so vulnerable in front of them, and the alliance also has its own war airship in order to compete with the tribe for air supremacy, and those war airships from the hands of the gnomes have even better power systems than the war airships of the tribe.

All in all, in the future, the Alliance and the Horde will be developing their own air power, which they don't pay much attention to now, and the air power is only like the griffin and the wyvern.

Zhang Li's airship is naturally no match for those large war airships, and his airship can fit more than 20 people when it is full, with a width of only five or six meters and a length of no more than ten meters, which is the size of two or three rooms.

The airship is divided into two levels, with four light guns on each side of the upper deck and some explosives and other things stored inside, which can be turned into bombers as long as they fly over the heads of the enemy.

And due to limited funds, most of the body of the airship is still wooden, and only some key parts are covered with a layer of iron sheets, such as the two hydrogen balloons that provide buoyancy, which is why the dwarf's war airship is more advanced than the goblin's power system, relying on hydrogen balloons to provide power is really a big flaw, as long as the enemy hits the hydrogen balloon with one shot, Bacheng explodes.

Although Zhang Li's two balloons are not flammable and explosive gases like hydrogen, so you don't have to worry about exploding or anything, but if the balloon is punctured, the airship also has the possibility of crashing directly......

In order to prevent this, Zhang Li asked the goblin to layer the inside of the balloon, if one place leaks, the balloon will only deflat, and it will not crash directly.

In short, just such a gadget cost Zhang Li all his assets, and a small war airship like this may not be one-tenth the size of the main airship of later generations, but this is already the limit of what Zhang Li can do.

In fact, it will not be much expensive for pure transportation airships, isn't the main means of transportation of the tribes in later generations just ordinary airships, pure wooden airships have no technical content, and an ordinary airship as big as Zhang Li is about two or three thousand gold, and this price is worth three or four goblin woodcutters.

But the wood harvester is very complicated to manufacture, there are a lot of various parts in it, some parts may also need to be taken by engineering masters, and the key is that the combat effectiveness of the wood harvester is not low, and it can evolve into a flying golem in the future, so the price is even higher.

Zhang Li remembered in a trance that he seemed to spend tens of thousands of gold to buy a flying golem mount in the game, although the game and the real currency cannot be compared, but if the flying golem appears in reality, I am afraid it will start at 5,000.

Anyway, without mentioning any nonsense, Marcus groped around Zhang Li's war airship with a look of surprise, looking like a curious baby, and kept admiring it.

They had now set sail, and with the help of the goblin engineers hired by Zhang Li, the airship, which had never been tested before, had finally begun its first voyage, and no one would have thought that it would be entrusted with a major mission on its first voyage.

"What's the name of this airship?" asked Marcus curiously, after touching it for a long time.

"I haven't thought of a name yet...... Zhang Li tilted his head and thought about it, and said, "Just call it Hope." ”

"Hope, good name!" Marcus applauded at the thought that they were here to gain hope for the Stormwind Kingdom.

"Speaking of which, I built this airship in the first place just to fulfill my childhood dream of traveling around the world. Of course, this is nonsense, but how can he explain the purpose of building this war machine in the early days?

"Actually, I want to make a bigger one, after all, Azeroth is full of dangers, but the funds are limited, haha, so I can only get a gadget. ”

"Is it a dream of young people to travel around the world, I think I had this dream when I was a child, many people should have had this dream, but there are still a few who can really put it into action. Marcus replied with a smile.

Zhang Li sighed inexplicably and said: "Yes, after all, everyone has a family to take care of, and only a lonely person like me can be so free." ”

Feeling some desolation and envy in Zhang Li's smile, Marcus restrained his smile.

"Family can be described as a burden of happiness, and I believe that one day you will form your own family with your beloved. ”

"Beloved......"

"Yes, you are the best young man I have ever met, you are loyal, upright, and kind, and I believe that one day you will be able to come together with that man with the blessing of ten thousand people. Hearing him say this, Zhang Li knew that he had already finished listening to his heartfelt conversation with Althea in front of the door.

For this wall-to-wall guest, Zhang Li shook his head speechlessly: "In this way, I will borrow your auspicious words." ”

"Haha, in fact, I envy you, I am also from the Weimo family, I used to have my own longing for the lady, but I don't have the courage to pursue it, so all I can do is cheer you up......"

After that, the airship successfully arrived at the Watchtower, and then Zhang Li left Marcus and returned the same way, after all, the Watchtower had thousands of soldiers, and Zhang Li's small boat couldn't transport a few, so it was useless to stay there.

He also has to return to Nighttown to carry out a difficult task, which is to convince Duke Eberlock to send troops to Anduin's aid.

Thinking of his kind-hearted old man, this is not an easy task.
