Grand Arcanist of Azeroth

Chapter 377 Designing an Obsidian Battleship

As the dark clouds over the Black Rock Mountain gathered to a certain extent.

A heavy rainfall that spread over a large area finally came to this troubled area.

Since one day hundreds of years ago, a huge black volcano tore through the mountains and towered high above this broken land.

In a large area of ​​the area where the Black Rock Mountain is located, it is difficult to have any more precipitation.

This kind of heavy rain with an astonishing amount of precipitation has never appeared before!
Those black iron dwarves who fled to the burning plain took out various containers to accumulate rainwater.

No matter how high the fire resistance of the black iron dwarves is, they still need to drink water.

Although the Dark Iron Dwarves only need a small amount of water, they can maintain the normal operation of the life system.

But the water resources in their hands are already in a state of scarcity.

Now that there is such a good opportunity, they must seize the time to replenish water resources.

While the Dark Iron dwarves were happily replenishing the water resources, Herald was delivering the last batch of obsidian.

It is precisely after all the collection of obsidian is completed that there will be large-scale rain on the Black Rock Mountain.

Because Herald no longer needs rain to cool the obsidian.

In line with the idea of ​​using nothing in vain, he spread rainwater to a large area of ​​Heishi Mountain to cool down the suffering land.

There are a lot of obsidian collected from Blackstone Mountain.

The goal of the 200 million-ton obsidian warship has been achieved.

However, according to the distribution of obsidian mines, it is estimated that there are still a lot of obsidian that can be mined in the Burning Plains and Red Ridge Mountains.

The subsequent detection results are in full compliance with this rule.

The amount of obsidian obtained in the Burning Plains and Red Ridge Mountains increases the tonnage of the obsidian battleship to 250 million tons.

This tonnage sounds a bit ugly.

So Herald searched several areas in the south again.

In the end, the tonnage of the Obsidian battleship was increased to 280 million tons.

While searching for obsidian in Elwynn Forest, Herald took the time to check the development of Stormwind City.

In that dilapidated kingdom that experienced defeat and fled, the resident population has rapidly increased from less than 50 at the beginning to nearly 100 million.

The Kingdom of Lordaeron vigorously researched necromancy, resulting in serious population loss in the country.

The Kingdom of Stormwind, far to the south of the mainland, also took advantage of the opportunity to dig a lot of corners.

Although Azeroth in reality is very safe, there is no need for the Kingdom of Stormwind to provoke the protection of the world like in the game.

But it is still necessary for this kingdom to develop better!

After notifying Sir Lothar to mobilize living supplies to support the black iron dwarves who lost their homes, Herald returned to Quel'Thalas.

In the next time, it is time to design a 280 million-ton obsidian warship.

Neither the Burning Legion nor the Draenei starships are very large.

The tonnage of warships generally does not exceed 50 tons.

Therefore, this giant ship of 280 million tons is the absolute overlord in the starry sky at this stage!
Only when Naaru's interstellar warship arrives can it be suppressed in terms of tonnage.

It is no longer possible for an obsidian battleship with such a large tonnage to be equipped with only one energy main gun like a regular star warship.

Otherwise, after absorbing the attacks of a large number of enemy ships, it would be too late to release them.

So Herald thought of a battleship with a large number of main guns.

However, the triple turret mode of the battleship is definitely impossible to adopt!
The triple-mounted turret is to increase the hit rate, so it will fire three salvos.

Modern naval guns have confidence in the hit rate.

Basically, they are conventional turrets with a single barrel.

Needless to say, the hit rate of the energy cannon.

The energy projectile fired is close to the speed of light.

On the premise that the distance is not very far, launching means hitting.

Therefore, the energy cannon only needs a separate barrel.

Since the energy cannon does not need to be loaded with physical shells, its turret part is not large.

If proper rotation is not required, the turret can be omitted, and the barrel can also be buried in the hull.

Like the old-fashioned artillery on a sailing battleship.

Considering the huge size of the Obsidian battleship, Herald equipped it with 36 energy cannons.

A salvo of 36 energy cannons can take away 36 legion warships.

It can destroy a sizeable fleet in a short period of time.

A small fleet of hundreds of legion warships can be taken away with three salvos.

After deciding on the number of energy cannons, Herald began to plan the overall structure of the hull.

The draenei warship is shaped like an egg.

The battleship of the Burning Legion is shaped like a mallet.

Neither the egg nor the mallet, Herald didn't feel good.

But when he built the ship for the first time, he copied the shape of the Draenei warship.

There's really nothing wrong with egg styling.

However, in Herald's opinion, this shape is not as good as the club shape of the Burning Legion.

At least the mallet is still long, so it looks more pleasing to the eye.

The slender hull conforms to the aesthetics of normal people.

Hrad put the brush on the drawing board and quickly drew a sketch.

It was a warship with a slender hull and a bow like a blade.

The shape looks like those advanced warships with stealth effect on the earth.

Since there is no need to climb high and look into the distance and install radar, the island building on the warship is not needed.

So the battleship in the sketch has 36 energy cannons installed on the deck.

The number of energy cannons sounds like a lot.

They are really installed on the battleship, but the space is not crowded.

As a huge ship nearly a kilometer long, it is more than enough to install 36 energy cannons!

Herald looked at the preliminary design drawing and nodded in satisfaction.

Then he converted the design drawings into data and uploaded them to the super magic computer of the island arsenal.

The main body of the super magic computer is on the island arsenal, which is composed of the magic cores of thousands of arcane puppets.

The operation of the entire island arsenal is scheduled by this super magic computer.

Rely on gnome and goblin engineers who are used to working in small workshops.

The island arsenal was paralyzed or semi-paralyzed in minutes!

The computing power of the super magic computer is very powerful.

In addition to being responsible for scheduling the operation of the island arsenal, there is still a lot of computing power to do other things.

It only takes a few minutes to deduce and optimize a design drawing.

This is something that the brains of ordinary creatures can't keep up with!
However, no matter how powerful the super magic computer is, it is impossible for it to create a fireball.

Computers in the technological world have developed to a certain height and can replace most or even all human beings.

The computer in the wizarding world got stuck at the first step.

No matter how smart it is, it's not as good as a mage apprentice.

At any rate, apprentice mages can perform some simple tricks.

There is absolutely no such thing as an omnic crisis in the wizarding world!
Because they have no way to make new companions by themselves.

And the creator only needs to cast a very simple spell to destroy the magic crystal core he made.

The difficulty of the magic robot's rebellion has reached hell level!
