Chapter 377: Designing the Obsidian Battleship
As the dark clouds over Blackstone Mountain gathered to a certain extent.
A heavy rainfall that affected a large area finally descended on this disaster-prone area.
Ever since one day hundreds of years ago, a huge black volcano ripped apart the mountains and stood tall on this broken land.
It is difficult for precipitation to occur in a large area of the area where Black Rock Mountain is located.
This kind of heavy rain with an astonishing amount of precipitation has never happened before!
The Dark Iron Dwarves who fled to the Burning Plains took out various containers to collect rainwater.
No matter how high the Dark Iron Dwarves' fire resistance is, they still need to drink water.
Although the Dark Iron Dwarves only need a small amount of water to maintain the normal operation of their life systems.
But the water resources they have are already in short supply.
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 water resources, Herad was delivering the last batch of obsidian.
It was after all the obsidian collection was completed that widespread rain occurred on Blackstone Mountain.
Because Herad no longer needs rain to cool the obsidian.
With the idea of not using it in vain, he spread rainwater over a large area of Blackstone Mountain to cool down the suffering land.
There is a lot of obsidian collected from Blackstone Mountain.
The goal of a two million ton obsidian battleship has been achieved.
However, judging from the distribution pattern of obsidian mines, it is estimated that there is still a lot of obsidian that can be mined in the Burning Plains and Redridge Mountains.
The subsequent detection results were completely consistent with this rule.
The amount of obsidian obtained in the Burning Plains and Redridge Mountains increased the tonnage of the obsidian battleship to more than 2.5 million tons.
This tonnage sounds a bit unpleasant.
Therefore, Herard searched several areas in the south.
In the end, the tonnage of the Obsidian battleship was increased to 2.8 million tons.
While searching for obsidian in Elwynn Forest, Horad took the time to check on the development of Stormwind City.
The resident population of that broken kingdom, which had experienced defeat and flight, had rapidly increased from less than half a million at the beginning to nearly one million.
The Kingdom of Lordaeron vigorously researched necromancy, resulting in serious population loss in the country.
The Kingdom of Storm, far to the south of the continent, also took advantage of the situation and poached a lot of corners.
Although Azeroth is very safe in reality, there is no need for the Kingdom of Stormwind to take on the role of protecting the world like in the game.
But it is still necessary for this kingdom to develop better!
After informing Sir Lothar to mobilize living supplies to support the Dark Iron dwarves who had lost their home, Horad returned to Quel'Thalas.
In the next time, it is time to design a 2.8 million-ton obsidian battleship.
Neither the Legion nor the Draenei starships are very large.
The tonnage of battleships generally does not exceed 500,000 tons.
Therefore, this giant ship of 2.8 million tons is the absolute overlord in the starry sky at this stage!
Only by waiting for Naaru's star battleships to arrive can they suppress it in terms of tonnage.
It is no longer possible for an Obsidian battleship with such a large tonnage to only install one energy main gun like a conventional interstellar battleship.
Otherwise, after it absorbs the attacks of a large number of enemy ships, it will not have time to vent them out.
So Herard thought of battleships with massive main guns.
However, the triple turret mode of the battleship is definitely impossible to adopt!
The triple turret fires three salvoes in order to improve the hit rate.
Modern naval guns have confidence in their hit rate.
Basically, they are conventional turrets with a single barrel.
The hit rate of the energy cannon goes without saying.
The energy projectiles fired are close to the speed of light.
As long as 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 is not large.
Unless proper rotation is required, the turret can be omitted, and the gun barrel can also be buried in the hull.
Like the old-fashioned cannon on a sailing battleship.
Considering the huge size of the Obsidian battleship, Herad equipped it with thirty-six energy cannons.
Thirty-six energy cannons can take away thirty-six legion warships in one salvo.
It can destroy a sizable fleet in a short time.
A small fleet of hundreds of legion warships can be taken away in three salvos.
After deciding on the number of energy cannons, Herard began to plan the overall structure of the ship.
The draenei warship is shaped like an egg.
The Legion's battleship is shaped like a mallet.
Whether it was an egg or a stick, Herard didn't feel good about it.
But when he first built the ship, he copied the shape of the Draenei warship.
There’s really nothing wrong with the egg shape.
However, in Herard's opinion, this shape is not as good as the club shape of the Burning Legion.
At least the stick is still long and looks more pleasing to the eye.
The slender hull conforms to normal people's aesthetics.
Hradetti brushed the brush on the drawing board and quickly drew a sketch.
It was a battleship with a slender hull and a blade-like bow.
The shape looks like those advanced warships with stealth effect on the earth.
Since there is no need to climb up to see far and install radar, island buildings on warships are not needed.
So the battleship in the sketch has thirty-six energy cannons installed on the deck.
The number of energy cannons sounds like a lot.
If you really install them on a battleship, the space will not be crowded.
As a giant ship nearly a kilometer long, it is more than enough to install thirty-six energy cannons!
Herard looked at the initially completed design and nodded with satisfaction.
He then converted the design drawings into data and uploaded them to the super magic computer in the island arsenal.
The main body of the super magic computer is located on the island arsenal, and is composed of the magic core of thousands of arcane puppets.
The operation of the entire island arsenal is controlled by this super magic computer.
Rely on those dwarf and goblin engineers who are used to working in small workshops.
The island arsenal is 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 also a lot of computing power that can be used to do other things.
It only takes a few minutes to deduce and optimize a design drawing.
This is something that even the brains of ordinary creatures cannot catch up with!
However, no matter how powerful the super magic computer is, it cannot create a fireball.
In the technological world, computers have developed to a certain level and can replace most or even all humans.
The computer in the wizarding world got stuck at the first step.
No matter how smart it is, it is not as good as a mage apprentice.
At least the mage apprentice can still perform some simple tricks.
There is absolutely no such thing as an omnic crisis in the magical world!
Because they have no way to make new companions by themselves.
Moreover, the maker 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!
