When Kane was 12 years old, Stormgard produced more than 10,000 tons of steel a year, and King Solas feasted and got drunk.

For a man who has been a soldier all his life, this indulgence would have meant extraordinary happiness.

In the Seven Kingdoms of Azeroth, there are two kings who uphold the military demeanor, one is Solas Torbairn, and the other is Daelyn Prodmore of the Kingdom of Kurtiras.

Both of them have excellent military abilities, one is the king of naval warfare, and the other is the king of land warfare.

Armies with similar commands, the Kultilas Navy led by Dahlin, and the Stormgard Cavalry led by Solas are the undisputed first-rate, and the special knights of the Silver Hand are not counted, they are extraordinary combat power.

As a competent commander, Solas is well aware of the significance of steel production.

In fact, since Kane intervened in the kingdom's metallurgical industry, Stormgard's steel production has been rising, rather than suddenly breaking the 10,000-ton mark.

10,000 tons, more of a sign, it is now that the Second Human-Beast War is going on, it seems to be of great significance.

You know, until the war has been fought until now, even the richest kingdom of Lundaeron, the lords have had to use metal for the manufacture of weapons, and in many places even the agricultural tools have been replaced with wood.

Stormgard, on the other hand, is implementing the second round of the 'Sword for Plough' program.

To put it bluntly, the old iron tools used by the people are eliminated and returned to the furnace, and the old can be exchanged for the new with a little money, and the new tools, from agricultural tools to tools to swords and armor, are all steel, lighter, and stronger.

This plan also produced a batch of weapons and equipment especially for the Tulayan Department of the Human Alliance.

When Danas Tolbain led his troops to join the Alliance, he delivered them to the Allies by the way, providing a strong guarantee for the Tulajan Army's counterattack on Draenor.

Kane was naturally dissatisfied with this output, and said in his heart: "It's only 10,000 tons, and with this annual output, it will take thousands of years to build a Constellation-class battleship." ”

That's a bit nitpicking. You know, Stormgard has a total population of less than 50,000 people (Blizzard's population data has always been criticized, from StarCraft to World of Warcraft, there are too many big scenes, and every two years the new expansion will have to come to a round of destruction, and people are dead in the sea, with the original setting, you will find that the logic is not self-consistent at all, so this can't be too true).

With the production capacity at this time, the annual output of 10,000 tons of steel, if not to the limit, is almost the same, unless the technology leaps forward, especially in mining and transportation, it will not increase much.

However, with so much steel, coupled with the water hammer that has become more powerful, stamping armor can be produced, and the other is water hammer forging, which can save a lot of labor.

With the counter-attack of the Tulayan forces and the closure of the Dark Gate, the remnants of the tribes stranded on the continent of Azeroth were scattered due to the collapse of logistics and command systems, and it was a matter of food alone that required a lot of manpower to gather and launch a powerful offensive.

The pressure on the military logistics on the human side has dropped greatly, and Stormgard's sword-forged plough project has entered the third phase, and he has begun to sell armor to other kingdoms.

The specific selling method is very flexible, you can take out a mortgage, you can trade in the old for the new, you can buy it outright, Kane once advised Solas for this:

"After the war, the human countries are in devastation, and there is a lot of waste waiting to be rebuilt, which is obviously a shuffle game, a very comprehensive kind. Our goal is the industrial base of human civilization, in the future, the main heavy industry creations used by the seven countries of mankind will be stamped with the falcon seal, and in order to achieve the goal, we must now not only open up the market, make a name, but also cultivate the market, cultivate people's consumption habits. This means that our products must be affordable and good......"

Therefore, the metal products sold by Stormgard to the outside world were basically carried out under the banner of assisting countries to resume production and strengthen local security, and some large local manufacturing factories were very defeated.

Of course, it is an exaggeration to say that the manufacturing plants are at best, and in Kane's eyes, except for the new industrial base that he runs, the manufacturing plants in other countries are larger workshops at best.

Advanced technology and production system have created strong competitiveness.

Even the armor for export is light and strong (steel), with good style and good design, and the humanized design can be adjusted, which is quickly sought after by various countries.

Stormgard, on the other hand, was instructed by Kane to exchange for a lot of raw materials that Arathi did not produce, such as Thorium and Mithril.

And it wasn't until Kane was 14 years old that the Falcon Nation's own army began to change its uniforms.

By this year, the industrial team has been brought out and put on the formal, not only the armor design and manufacturing process are more mature, but also the materials have been further improved.

Kane specifically selected an alloy formula to produce a material called Thorsteel, which was used as the base material for the armor.

This material, which is second only to the famous gold essence synthetic steel of the DND universe system in terms of performance, is only one-seventh of the price of gold essence, which is still slightly expensive, but due to the limited size of Stormgard's army, it has made some money in recent years, so it has been wasted.

More complex processes, so that the finished material is true red, rust-resistant, strong, and has a certain energy resistance.

This is all the effect achieved by taking the pure technology route. The energy resistance of Sergang is also due to the fact that the matter of this world has been eroded by extraordinary forces for a long time, and it itself has a certain amount of extraordinary malignancy, and it has not been processed by extraordinary means.

Although World of Warcraft is a very typical high-magic world, it still accounts for the majority of people who can't and can only use extraordinary power in small ways.

The only magical civilization that has achieved the transcendence of the people is the kingdom established by the descendants of the high elves, Quel'Thalas.

And they have shortcomings such as slow population growth and too strong dependence on magic, which will gradually be reflected in a series of major events in the future.

So Kane is not particularly envious, the threshold of magical civilization is too high, and in comparison, the technical system he developed in Stormgard is more applicable, and the results can be called immediate.

And the technology system from the origin world is also more suitable for the humans of this world.

The short lifespan of human beings makes them even more urgent to obtain results. Those grand and long-term plans seem to be lonely and outnumbered, and those that can make people feel tangible benefits and continuous upward movement are good and appropriate.

Of course, this does not mean that Kane has given up on the construction of supernatural powers.

Over the years, he has been accumulating, and he wants to build the transcendent on the basis of the scientific and technological system, and use it intensively to create a mythical army.

When the warriors of the Falcon Nation were all dressed in new armor, the orderly, robust, and mighty military characteristics were finally restored, which reminded Kane Sun's soul of the Graybeard mercenaries and the Predator Swarm.

"It's a little bit interesting now, and it used to be just a rabble. ”

Ordinary people always pay too much attention to the importance of whether or not they have been baptized by war.

And Kane doesn't really like this. The purpose of the army he established was not to cultivate heroes like raising Gu, but to be a well-disciplined group with common beliefs, high professional quality, and tacit cooperation in battle.

In this team, there is no need for heroes, or rather, everyone is a hero.

To build such an army means to re-set the military soul for the army, or the core of humanistic beliefs.

For this reason, Kane has laid off a group of veterans. Of course, the words of the official are very good: "They shed their blood for the sake of the country and mankind, and now is the time to enjoy peace and prosperity." ”

For those suffering from battlefield syndrome, Kane was placed by forming an officially supported Explorer's Guild. Let these people, who are no longer able to integrate into society and only have confidence in killing and setting fires, continue to exert their residual heat.

Explorers are often a few good friends who are in love with each other and can be trusted, and go on a mission based on exploration and reconnaissance.

In order to better understand the world, Kane spared no effort to support the industry, and also designed a high-viscosity upgrade system and honor system for it.

Those who have worked hard to climb in this line and have achieved high honors are not only given respect in various ways, such as not having to salute when they see the king, becoming a free knight (no need to be loyal to any prince, only civic duty), and being able to call for support from their own regular army in the vicinity during their adventures, etc.

Solas was also worried that his only son would lead to a decline in the overall combat effectiveness of the army.

In his mind, the main thing is the old and the new.

Kane naturally didn't like this.

There is nothing wrong with the old and the new, but there is another side in the actual cloud. Lao Niao not only improved Xinding's combat quality, but also taught some dross to Xinding in the process of helping.

Kane wants to create a new core of faith for the army, and naturally he will not allow these crooked monks to lead bad recruits.

He adopted the repeated practice of many worlds, and this method brought out the teaching system of hundreds of millions of soldiers, including political and ideological classes, expansion campaigns and other operations, and formed a complete system by category.

Kane called it a line-up build.

As long as the system is built and people are stuffed in, it will be like the circuit board generation of a fully automatic production line, and it will be constantly imparted knowledge and practical knowledge.

The large-scale change of uniforms was carried out on the basis of the training of the new-style army.

Those who are not qualified will be assigned to work in other positions.

Those who perform well will enter the officer training program and become the backbone of the army.

As for the building of the armed forces, it is really impossible to talk about it in a few days, and it is not something that can be completed overnight.

Fortunately, Kane has more time this time, and he can come step by step. He has now built the main force of the Ti Kingdom.

In a highly realistic exercise, the new Gaga's army defeated the veteran corps led by Soras's adjutant in one fell swoop.

Although it was only the adjutant who was defeated, this adjutant was always by Soras's side, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a teacher and a student.

So Kane saves face for Soras, but Solas himself knows it, and in his words: "After that, it will be the time of your young people." ”

In this way, in Stormgard, the old-fashioned army led by Solas gradually gave way to the stage, and the new strong army began to take up the responsibilities entrusted to them by the state.

And Solas, who is gradually delegating more power to Kane in order to cultivate a successor who has already surpassed him in all aspects, has set his sights on Riptide Castle.

As a result of the profits from the trade output over the years, Solas decided to repair the dilapidated Riptide Fort.

But Kane dissuaded him.

The reason is nothing more than the loss of people in the land, and the loss of people and land, and the Stormwind Kingdom of the Wryon family is the best lesson.

Eventually, Solas listened to Kane's advice and invested in the horizontal expansion and practical application of army building and technology.

Solas is also unsure of his heart, the second invasion of the orcs has caused great harm to human countries, and he is in danger of completely destroying the country. And the alliance led by Tulayang is already the strongest combat force that the Seven Nations Alliance can come up with, and now it is gone, God knows if the dark gate will be opened one day in the future, and the army of orcs will be killed like a tide again.

Kane is very sure, Draenor has been defeated by the anxious exile of Neozu and his minions, and with Tulayan and others there to fight them for a long time, the orcs do not have enough strength to reopen the dark door and invade again.

However, counting on his fingers, the Third War of Man and Beast, and the more terrifying War of the Scourge and the Battle of the Burning Legion are not many years away, and Arthas is only a year younger than him, and he is already 13 years old.
