Azeroth Trail of Light

Spark of Wisdom, this is the most technologically-sense place in Ulduar, the Titan City.

This is the laboratory of the mechanical guardian Mimiron. It used to be just a small-town-sized research station, but after obtaining Dick’s approval, the Wisdom Spark was rapidly expanded and finally formed its current scale.

It's the size of three Stormwind!

And this is only on the surface. When you actually enter it, you will find that this place is much bigger than your eyes. This is an entire starship production workshop, and the entire Azeroth is also the only one. Durr's engineering level here can complete the production process of a 2 km long starship from beginning to end.

The drawings of the 13 starship engines that were originally obtained from the Ethereal have been completely deciphered, but unfortunately, with Azeroth’s current engineering level, only three of the low-level engines can be copied. The first fleet is such a copy. The products of the third and fourth fleets, which will be rolled off the assembly line, are made with more advanced engines.

There is still no super-light-speed flight and void-transition capabilities, but the starship with a new engine has increased its speed by two-thirds, and its energy power has increased by 80%, which can be called a big leap. Regarding the void contract and the super-light flight The physical model of Quel'Thalas, Dalaran, and Suramar are also the technical nodes that are being studied desperately where the three magicians come out.

Once it breaks through one of them, the Azeroth star field is considered to have the power to protect itself. After all, the range of the wall of stars is 100 light years. Within this range, if you use a starship with a traditional speed, Even if Azeroth was tossed to the ground, I would never want to take a look at the scenery beyond the border.

As for the appearance and module functions of the new model starship, they were handed over to Gnomeregan and Hotsand Group, who were responsible for the design, and Ulduar completed the construction of the first model ship, the Char Star in Outland. After the first voyage test is painful in Hong Kong, it can be promoted to the production process.

This is a very confidential process, which can be regarded as the ultimate secret of the entire century. Although Mimiron is more suitable for this task than all the engineering masters of Azeroth, it is a pity that this guardian has been tens of thousands of years ago. After being attacked, all his wisdom was used to open up lethal weapons.

Yes, it’s not that he can’t do it, but he’s unwilling to do it... this is even Dick can’t force him, but from a soul perspective, Dick and Mimiron are just similar, and he can’t force him. The engineer did what he didn't like to do, and more importantly, Dick felt that this kind of thing should also be left to the natives of Azeroth.

Let these smartest guys enter this epoch-making major project, which is conducive to the stability of the world, just like all the steel of the starship is developed by the best blacksmith in Ironforge, and all the porthole materials inside the spaceship are made of The Tollians provided all the wood inside the spaceship by the night elves, and all the magic products were provided by Quel'Thalas.

In these details, the manager is not hesitate to let all the forces join in. In fact, if she excludes one of the forces in such a big event, she will definitely cause anxiety on the other side, which is also conducive to the stability of the world. Things.

And once all the power of a world is used for the same thing, the world has also entered the road of ultra-rapid development. It is currently the third and the fourth fleet is about a month away from the assembly line. A group of trained officers have already assembled in Char Xinggang, where they will receive a month and a half of fully enclosed training, which is said to include several old marshals.

They must adapt to the new war mode. Although for the elderly, the next time they enter the interstellar civilization war mode from the magical war of the Middle Ages, they will inevitably have a great discomfort, but they must go through this level. Those who can sit in that position will not be idiots. They know what Dick's actions represent behind them better than anyone else.

The new era has arrived, and those who cannot keep up with the development of the times... will eventually be eliminated.

But now, when Dick is patrolling in an assembly factory that is busy, completely controlled by mechanical dwarfs, almost indistinguishable from the modern assembly line production in his mind, he is thinking about something else.

Mimiron was sitting on a special disk-shaped floating operation platform, and following Dick, he was chattering to Dick about the situation of the factory.

"After talking with those interesting mortal creatures last time, I changed this place to this kind of large-scale production line, which can assemble 4 starships at the same time, and the construction period is about 15 days. Now it seems The effect is not bad, but how to put it, I have asked XT-002 to move all the steel that Ulduar can use, but it is still a little stretched."

The mechanical guardian stretched out his finger and pressed it on the edge of the aircraft, and then complained somewhat dissatisfied, "After the assembly is completed this time, we are likely to face an awkward situation..."

"Ok?"

Dick turned his head to look at him, Mimiron raised his funny big steel eyebrows, and said with some regret, "The Third and Fourth Fleet, the entire 30 starships, have used up the current Azeroth civilization. 80% of the steel reserves, of course, I am talking about the ones that have been smelted, that is to say, the world will suffer from the lack of steel for at least 5 years from now on."

"...If this is the case, I have a less mature idea."

Dick’s eyes lit up, he waved his hand, and Mimiron led him into his temporary research room, which was filled with all kinds of weird engineering creations, but neither of them cared. On the contrary, after sitting down, Dick talked about his plan enthusiastically.

"I plan to open the blueprints of the previous low-level engines and some of the starship blueprints to various forces..."

"and many more!"

In the first sentence of his opening, Mimiron almost sprayed the machinery that he drank in his mouth with a sulfuric acid drink, and the guardian of the machinery hurriedly wiped the sulfuric acid liquid spilled on the table, which made him a little annoyed.

"Are you crazy? Do you think they can make engineering creations of this level at their current level?! Even if they do, you dare to let them drive their self-made starships into the void? This is killing your life, right? !"

"No, no, don't think about it from a technical point of view, Mimiron, as the guardians, we must look at this matter from a higher level."

Dick stretched out a finger and said in a deep voice, "No matter how powerful it is, Ulduar will not be able to drag the entire civilization into the interstellar age with our own strength. The future trend must be that each kingdom has its own colonial plan and system. Let them try their best to steal the drawings from us, it is better for us to send them out generously."

"More importantly, you also said that in the next 5 years, they will not have enough steel to carry out this kind of experiment far beyond the current engineering level, but I believe that as long as there is an opportunity, all kingdoms will not give up. These attempts, and once they succeed, will also increase the strength of the entire Azeroth star field in a disguised form."

Dick looked at the machine manager,

"Also, Mimiron, what do you think is the real strength of a civilization? Is Azeroth strong enough now? The Ethereal Node Prince once commented that Azeroth is a false space civilization because of this world. All the interstellar forces are actually concentrated in the Ulduar system."

"Once we collapse, the whole world will quickly return to the feudal magical civilization."

Mimiron was not a stupid, he immediately understood Dick's meaning, his funny brows loosened, "You mean, take this opportunity to let them experience the process of entering the starry sky from the earth? "

"Yes it is!"

Dick nodded, the world manager stood up, walked around in this office, and said with some emotion, "We cannot protect this world to the end of time, and the main body of civilization in this world is not us. Children always want Growing up, instead of letting them face everything helplessly when the situation collapses, it is better to give them a chance now. I will give them what they need, and which step they take depends on their potential. ."

This sentence caused Mimiron’s final objection to be dispelled, but the Mechanical Guardian asked another question a few minutes later.

"But you have to think carefully. Managers, the star domains don’t want to be Azeroth. At your speed, you can rush to any corner of the world in at most an hour. Once some of them don’t show up. The sensible guy declares his separation from Azeroth in another world, or even worse, if he surrenders to the enemy in the war between this world and other civilizations...the problem will be serious.

"So we must develop a set of practical management methods in advance!"

Dick nodded, obviously knowing about this issue, "In addition to the internal management of each country, the guardians of Ulduar also need a more macro management. Don’t forget, our ultimate goal is to build a pantheon. Although this goal is likely to be calculated in ten thousand years, we are now using the power of this world to pave the way for the reconstruction of the Pantheon."

"Of course, the most important thing is that we must always guarantee the Ulduar fleet's repressive advantage over the fleets of other forces...so my idea is, generational disparity!"

Dick waved his hands gently, expounding his thoughts vividly,

"At least for nearly a hundred years, the civilization level of the entire world will not be separated from Azeroth within 10 light years. It is more similar to the near-Earth space civilization, and we have the Sagrit keystone, which can reach any one. Place, this is the first stage."

"In the second stage, when the super-light engine is successfully developed, we will open the second-order engine to the mortal forces. After the development of the void transition engine is completed, we will open the blueprint of the super-light engine... with this technical means, At least for thousands of years, there will be no mortal forces counterattack Ulduar. Of course, I don't think this will happen."

"We have no conflict of interest with them. For thousands of years, a set of ancient and effective rules have been established and passed on."

Having said that, Dick blinked.

"If that country has the ability to research super-light speed and void transition engines faster than us, it shows that they have huge potential and more promising than us! The Lord of the world, you might as well leave it to them..."

Mimi Long chuckled.

"I don't think any mortal civilization can grow to this point. I have seen the blueprint of the Void Engine. It is a complex process of void power that requires special thinking organs to understand. Besides us, they have to evolve two more generations of talents. OK...but what you said makes sense. I think I can give it a try. How do we give it to them? Shall we send it directly to them?"

"No, no, no!"

Dick shook his head.

"Your idea is too simple. Mortals will not cherish the things that are easy to get too much. I have come step by step from the mortal world. So, just judge by this war. Those who are willing to follow us on the expedition. Argus, races that are willing to give everything for this world, races that will help the progress of this world, races that are willing to live and die with this world... The family of Ulduar... Yes, I will use this name in the future. Right."

"I will take the Soaring Star Territory's laurel crown as a reward for glory and wear it on their heads with my hands."
