Chapter 1997: The Prologue of the Final Battle (Part II)
30,000 warships, this number is already very unscientific.
Normally, unless Duke stuffs all of the Alliance into a ship, then he can move this number of ships.
After all, with the level of science and technology of the previous alliance during World War II, a destroyer, no matter how fewer, requires 200 people to be able to drive, and 350 talents are the standard.
A capital battleship often needs 2,000 people to go up and down.
But this is an unscientific fantasy world.
Aren't there only a few Pantheon Titans?
People can make Titans!
Duke cheated.
It's like the Alliance's Z-class destroyers, and you can see busy figures everywhere. If you look closely, it's not hard to see that there are very few human beings.
On the ships are more mechanical gnomes with metallic sheen and cast-iron dwarves.
That's right, these guys are robots from Ulduar Mimiron's workshop.
Mechanical gnomes with simple intelligence can do maintenance and other work, as long as they input ship drawings into their minds and give them enough materials, they can complete tasks such as damage management.
And the cast-iron dwarf with thick arms is the best force, and it is no problem to carry a cannonball or something. As long as you confirm their commander, you can easily handle any task such as transportation.
The only problem is to recharge them.
After a destroyer has cut a large number of unnecessary manpower, what it really needs to be done by intelligent races is to fire guns, sonar, radar, and command work.
With a drastic cut, a 120-meter-long destroyer only needs a minimum of 56 living people, oh, and it doesn't have to be alive, and if it's the forsaken, it's okay.
The largest battleship like the Bismarck needed only 300 men.
This would have been completely unthinkable five years ago.
Working with Ulduar, especially after Algalon opened up the Guardian's authority, it was not a matter of creating an army of mechanical gnomes like cannon fodder in Algalon's eyes.
Over the years, Mimiron's workshop has been fully operational, and these are the results.
【Ulduar* Becomes Human】Find out?
As for shipbuilding...... What about the shipbuilding technology of 3D printed parts of the Titan process?
Mining high-grade ore directly in Northrend, almost locally refined, and local production of flying warships. The flying warships built from the Arsenal of NorthrendMimilon are far more powerful than the steel battleships on the Eastern Kingdoms continent.
Later, with the exception of Ironforge, all major seaport cities of the Alliance switched to the manufacture of surface ships. The inland main city of the alliance is mainly based on building flying frigates and destroyers with relatively simple process requirements.
A smile tugged at Duke's lips.
It's hilarious to think about history, the Union and the Horde combined were able to land on Broken Beach, and there were only 2,000 people at that time. Even if they are all elites of the level of the Holy Knights of the Silver Hand Knights, it is not unusual for them to be wiped out under the attack of the Demon Sea.
Now......
I'm sorry, but now the strength on the battlefield is that the alliance definitely has the upper hand!
The fleet here is not the whole of the Alliance, and certainly not the full force of the Burning Legion.
It doesn't matter how many billion demons the Burning Legion has, there is a premise, you can come and talk about it.
More than a dozen coalition single-propeller fighters flew first into the airspace of Broken Beach.
These things are the P-51 Mustang fighters that Duke made. Duke's Dark Gate came to power in 15 years, and it took ten years for the alliance to climb from the old wooden warships to climb the technology tree to the era of steel warships, and many technologies were missing or temporarily stuck.
It took another ten years for the unbalanced development of the military technology tree to reach the level equivalent of World War II on Earth.
It's not that the alliance doesn't have a higher-speed fighter, but that thing is not a real jet fighter, it is made of the elemental magic of the magic net, which is quite wind-intensive.
Good steel is used on the blade, Rao is Duke's current control of the four elements of Azeroth, and he can't use a large number of elements on fighter jet speed.
Now the speed of the P-700 Mustang, which has a maximum speed of 51 kilometers per hour, is definitely enough, and the point is to break the defense.
The roar in the sky attracted Guldan's attention. He looked up, looking in the direction from which the voice came from out of the corner of his crooked eyes.
Two planes in a group, a full eight units lined up in a herringbone shape, this kind of formation, how to say, can not be a coincidence.
And......
"Hmm, this speed, so fast!" Don't look at Guldan's promotion to the Burning Legion's powerful lackey, in fact, his status is at most equivalent to that of a low-level Void Lord. If it weren't for the power given to him by Kil'gardan, the demons next to him would never have been able to bird him.
"Cut!" Gul'dan snorted as he leaned on his crutch-like skeletal staff, realizing that the Alliance was definitely prepared.
The idea of planting a trap for the Alliance and the Horde on Broken Beach had been shattered before it even began.
"Shoot them down!" Gul'dan raised his skull staff, and dozens of Ereda Warlocks did it for him.
As the elite of the Ereda clan, the level of the Ereda wizard itself is quite amazing. In addition, the shadow energy escaping from the tomb of Sargeras on the Broken Isles makes it even more powerful.
The Mustang fighter is indeed very powerful, and it also depends on who the opponent is. If it is also an opponent on the technology side, a propeller fighter or something, it can sling most enemy aircraft at the World War II level on Earth.
But the mysterious things are not something they can compete with.
Rao is on-board elemental radar suddenly sounded an alarm, and most of the pilots reacted a beat slower.
The shadow elements that suddenly gathered in the sky formed a viscous airspace, and the fighter plane crashed into it, like falling headlong into the sea. The sudden change in density caused more than a dozen wild horses to be smashed to pieces on the spot.
Only the ace pilot flying behind could use an extreme lever to make the high-speed fighter fly out of an arc at the largest angle, which was able to avoid the death trap.
That's enough.
They came to reconnoitre.
"Pegasus 05 discovered the enemy, and it was the Burning Legion that was unmistakable. The coastline is different from the original map data, and is now corrected to X......"
Nothing is more important than first-hand shoreline information.
At the end of the Dark Gate 2 War, Gul'dan came to the Tomb of Sargeras in the Shattered Isles and died. In fact, the Broken Islands have existed in the center of the Endless Sea for the past 10,000 years, but they are surrounded by a large maelstrom, and the people inside can't get out, and the people outside can't get in.
Even if the alliance develops flying ships, it will not be able to change the situation.
The horrific elemental fluctuations brought by the maelstrom form a hurricane that can easily destroy flying warships and ships at sea.
Gul'dan came here more than 30 years ago and lost his entire fleet.
It's just that after he arrived, with his evil power, he lifted up the land that had partially sunk to the bottom of the sea, which is today's Broken Beach.
The Coalition suffers from a serious lack of geographic data on Broken Beach.
Without this, it would be impossible to set a target for firing the elements, and there would be no talk of long-range bombing.
The Alliance, at the expense of reconnaissance aircraft, received the most valuable first-hand information.
