Live Streaming: Azeroth

When it comes to technology research and development, the most important thing is creativity first, followed by the industrial foundation that can realize this idea.

Quel'Thalas is a magical kingdom with a history of more than 7,000 years. Counting the period when he was a highborne, Quel'Thalas' history is no worse than that of the night elves. It is natural that he has accumulated a wealth of magic technology. Capital.

According to Sharlayan's analysis, the science and technology from another world provided by the barrage is similar to the engineering that has become more and more popular in Azeroth in recent years.

There is not a small difference between engineering and the magic technology that Quel'Thalas is best at, but it is always one of the countless paths to explore the truth through technological progress, which can be regarded as the same goal.

The draenei from beyond the sky have rich experience in the fusion of magic technology and engineering. The eredar civilization in its heyday possessed superb technology that is unimaginable in Azeroth at this stage.

In the words of the barrage, the Eredar civilization is far ahead of the Azeroth civilization in climbing the technology tree. They have long been able to leave the cradle of the parent star and sail the spaceship in the vast sea of ​​stars.

However, after experiencing the eredar schism, the draenei who fled with the naaru lost a lot of key knowledge and technology during the long escape.

To this day, the Draenei who once possessed advanced technology need to rely on the assistance of the high elves to complete some of the more basic knowledge lost in the early years.

As the so-called tall buildings rise on the ground, if the foundation is not solid, the higher the building is built, the greater the possibility of toppling.

With Sharlayan as the lead, the Draenei and the high elves have gotten closer in recent years in terms of collaborative research technology, effectively improving Quel'Thalas' relatively backward engineering technology.

With the experience provided by the Draenei, the technicians of the high elves have been able to integrate engineering and magic technology well, forming a brand-new technology model - Sharlayan called it magic science and technology.

Strictly speaking, new weapons such as magic guns and magic guns are all products of magic technology.

However, compared to the production requirements of the more sophisticated magical chariot - the tank, with Quel'Thalas' current technical level, it will definitely take a long time to overcome the many technical difficulties encountered in the research and development and manufacturing process one by one.

Too anxious to eat hot tofu, Sarlayan did not set a deadline for the Weapons Research Institute to check and accept the results. What he needed was a stable product that could be used with quality and quantity, not a defective semi-finished product that was rushed to the shelves.

Quel'Thalas already possessed the technology of magic cannons and four-wheeled vehicles.

According to Valante's speculation, it is not difficult to simply install the magic cannon on the four-wheeled chariot.

The most important problem to be solved is to adjust the design center of gravity of the vehicle according to the weight of the gun body, and keep the chassis as stable as possible, so as not to collapse yourself ten meters away before firing a cannon.

And this requires that the vehicle used as the base of the self-propelled gun must have sufficient weight, and the specific weight ratio requires precise calculation and actual testing.

As the barrage netizens said, four-wheel vehicles do not perform well on certain battlefields with complex terrain environments, which is one of the main reasons why tracks can become standard equipment for tanks.

Valante and other researchers need to separate out a special team to verify the feasibility of tank tracks. Before that, Sharlayan hopes to create a trial version of the four-wheeled self-propelled gun and a light armored vehicle equipped with a large-caliber magic machine gun. .

The Weapons Research Institute had finally been idle for a while. As soon as Grand Duke Deep Shadow came back, he gave them a lot of new ideas that needed to be tackled. The technicians headed by Valante were in pain and happiness.

The pain is because they know that they will have to work overtime for a long time in the future, but at the same time they are also happy for the technological progress of Quel'Thalas' weapon research and development.

Technical personnel who can be selected into an important department such as the Weapons Research Institute of the Ministry of National Defense must first pass a "political review" proposed by Sarlayan to ensure that all those who join it are patriotic.

These people will be happy when Quel'Thalas is strong and depressed when Quel'Thalas is weak.

Even though they knew that they were about to usher in a period of overtime work with no end in sight, none of the researchers who were complaining endlessly said they would quit.

Most of the technicians with relatively simple ideas are happy to be able to invest in research on new technologies that have never been seen before in Azeroth.

Just like what Sarlayan said to Valeera before, in order to explain to the technicians all the details and design concepts of the blueprints he drew, he temporarily put aside other chores and worked with Valante and others ate and lived together for more than a month.

Knowing that Grand Duke Deep Shadow plunged into the technical field as soon as he came back, another group of technicians who were cooperating with the Draenei to research an important civilian technology also came to the door smelling the smell.

...Of course, these people cannot enter the gate of the Ministry of National Defense. They have conveyed their intention to see Grand Duke Deep Shadow who is devoted to technology through the Sun King Kael'thas and the Minister of Engineering of the cabinet.

"cell phone?"

When Sharlayan walked out of the Weapons Research Institute after more than a month, due to lack of daily care, the stubble on his face appeared.

After hearing the explanation from the person in charge of the engineering department who came to him, Sarlayan suddenly patted his forehead.

"Ah... I almost forgot if you didn't tell me."

The research and development of mobile phones and base stations was an important task Sarlayan left to the engineering department before leaving Quel'Thalas last time.

Most of Azeroth's communication methods rely on space magic for teleportation, and the idea of ​​using teleportation to remotely transmit small notes also came from Sharlayan himself.

From a technical point of view, the threshold for this idea is not too high. After other countries learned the principle, they copied it in a similar way, which greatly reduced the time cost of remote communication in the feudal era.

However, apart from the magical kingdom of Dalaran, other countries do not have so many arcanists in Quel'Thalas, who can disperse the mages responsible for transmitting information to all parts of the world.

Take Lordaeron, the most powerful country in the human kingdom, as an example. Calia will only deploy communication mages in some important cities and strongholds, which is completely incomparable with Quel'Thalas in terms of efficiency and coverage.

Even so, Sharlayan still disliked that this method of communication was not convenient enough and not confidential enough.

With the gradual popularization of the technology of using space magic to deliver notes, the possibility of hostile forces taking advantage of troubled waters to deliver false news also needs to be considered.

When countries transmit information remotely, they often agree to burn their own exclusive anti-counterfeiting marks on paper, so as not to be misled by fake news that does not come from the official, and the process of transmitting information between each other becomes more and more complicated.

With the help of the great inventor Mimiron, Sharlayan has obtained a new technology that can use the arcane frequency band for long-distance voice...even video communication.

Due to Quel'Thalas' existence in the enclave of Crystalsong Forest far from its homeland, there has always been a high demand for more efficient remote communication technology.

The technology that Sharlayan brought back, consisting of mobile phones and base stations, came at just the right time.

The Sun King and the cabinet have long been used to the fact that Sharlayan can occasionally bring back some surprises beyond the times.

As long as these technologies are indeed beneficial to the development of Quel'Thalas, the rare and confused high-level officials of the kingdom are too lazy to ask the bottom line... Besides, few people dare to come to question the high-ranking Grand Duke Deep Shadow, and they didn't say anything until they saw the Sun King. .

Sharlayan raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows and said to the person in front of him: "Griffin, explain the specific situation. How is the progress of the laying of the base station? Can the portable terminal be mass-produced?"

Griffin is the person in charge of the new communication technology research and development department. Hearing Sarayan's inquiry, he answered the book friends' questions in an orderly manner after being well prepared.

"With the help of Draenei technicians, the base station and portable terminal...that is, the analysis and imitation of the mobile phone have been successfully completed."

"The base station coverage in Quel'Thalas has basically been completed. In the next step, we plan to use the magic network pipeline provided by Sunwell to bury more base stations in the Crystalsong Forest in Northrend."

"According to your idea, the assembly line for mass production of mobile phones has been built. At this stage, we have not fully grasped this technology. We can only imitate it according to the gourd painting, and cannot carry out subsequent iterative updates."

"Grand Duke Deep Shadow." Griffin hesitated, and finally bit the bullet and said the second half of the sentence: "If possible, we and Draenei's technicians hope to get more specific R \u0026 D blueprints, further Get a thorough understanding of this technology in order to promote subsequent technological upgrades."

"This..."

Sharlayan rested his chin on his hand and pondered for a moment: "Alright, I just plan to go to Ulduar recently, so I can help you find Mimiron to get the blueprints."

'Ulduar...'

Griffin's heart moved. As one of the confidantes of the cabinet engineering minister, he is also a proper senior Quel'Thalas.

Griffin had also heard of the name of Ulduar, the city of Titans, and knew that Grand Duke Deep Shadow had just cooperated with the Titan Guardians to take back Ulduar from the rebels not long ago.

'It turns out that this technology comes from Titan Guardian... no wonder it is so advanced. '
