Chapter 587 Today's Humiliation (11)

The navy is a very traditional arm.

Even with Kul Tiras' shipbuilding experts serving as advisors, with Quel'Thalas' current shipbuilding technology, it is impossible to reach the forefront of the world in just two years.

Moreover, the strength of the navy is not only a matter of ships, skilled sailors are also very important.

Now the navy of Quel'Thalas is nothing more than an empty name, only a useless offshore fleet, and it has suffered heavy losses in this naval battle.

Thanks to the mages accompanying the ship, the sinking caused few casualties.

To train an elite navy, powerful ships, experienced sailors and excellent admirals are indispensable.

In terms of admirals, Admiral Jefferson Berryman of the Offshore Fleet can do the job.

As long as a batch of good-quality warships can be bought from Kul Tiras, Berriman can use them to train suitable officers and sailors until Quel'Thalas can produce qualified warships on its own.

A part of the barrage suggested that Sarlayan give up the "outdated" wooden sail warship and build a magic-powered steel warship in a whimsical way.

Before Sharlayan could make a decision, another barrage refuted their proposal.

With the existing shipbuilding technology of Quel'Thalas, let alone a steel warship, it is considered to be able to build a frigate-level sailing warship.

In the case of insufficient accumulation of own technology and personnel, if you take too big a step, you will inevitably mess up, and it is not advisable to go directly to the steel warship.

Quel'Thalas' existing magic power can only be applied to arcane puppets, and it is not easy to amplify it enough to propel a giant battleship.

For this reason, the barrage also specifically gave Sarlayan a negative example.

In the different world where the barrage is located, there is a self-proclaimed romantic country that wants to have its own nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, but they can't develop a nuclear reactor specially for the aircraft carrier.

So a "smart" Chinese thought of a crooked idea, and moved the reactors on the two nuclear-powered submarines to the aircraft carrier in parallel, trying to replace the nuclear reactors used by the aircraft carrier.

Then... the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier that this country forcibly created was a tragedy and became the laughing stock of countries all over the world.

The aircraft carrier is the main maritime combat force in the different world where the barrage is located, and it is mainly used as a platform for combat aircraft and a maritime command center.

In order to ensure that the carrier-based aircraft of the aircraft carrier can take off smoothly in a calm state, modern aircraft carriers require at least a speed of more than 30 knots.

However, the lame aircraft carrier built by a certain country has a maximum speed of only 25 knots, and the swollen face claims to be 27 knots. It is only possible to push its own aircraft into the sky with a catapult purchased from another country at a huge cost.

Due to congenital deficiencies, this crippled aircraft carrier spends most of the year in the dock for maintenance.

Using this crooked idea to connect arcane power cores in parallel can indeed allow warships to sail on the sea without sails.

But what about the price?

The aircraft carrier named Charles de Gaulle is a clear example.

Without solving the key technical difficulties, forcibly connecting multiple arcane cores in parallel will inevitably lead to a low speed of the ship, and there is a high probability that it will fail again and again.

Under the opposition of a large number of barrage netizens, the magic-powered steel battleship proposed by some people was rejected.

The road still needs to be walked step by step. After a long discussion with Danmaku, Sharlayan decided to absorb the mature experience of Kul Tiras first, so that Quel'Thalas' shipbuilding technology can gradually improve.

Prior to this, Sharlayan planned to let the National Defense Research Institute invest in the research on arcane cores for ships in advance.

Sarlayan does not force the researchers to go to the sky in one step, and directly comes up with a powerful power core that can afford steel warships, or use the current mainstream sailing warships as a template.

The iteration of technology must be rigorous enough. If you start running without learning to walk, the final outcome must be to fall hard to the ground.

...

Since Sharlayan's injury has not yet recovered, Kael'thas ordered him to return to his territory to recuperate.

In the next few days, Kael'thas will first summon the Kul Tiras ambassador to Silvermoon City, and first express his wishes to Kul Tiras.

Just as Kael'thas was worried, Kul Tiras spared no effort to win this battle for maritime supremacy, and fought bloody battles with the Zandalari troll's golden fleet at sea.

Under such circumstances, the ambassador of Kul Tiras politely declined Quel'Thalas' proposal to purchase the warship.

But business is nothing more than a bargain.

It is really not efficient to negotiate through the ambassador to convey the meaning of the country, and it is not convenient for the two sides to have a heart-to-heart discussion.

Sharlayan originally planned to take a trip to Dalaran recently to discuss some issues with Antonidas, take a look at Princess Jaina's recent situation, and catch up with Rhonin.

However, the plan could not keep up with the changes. The arrival of Lordaeron's privateers gave Quel'Thalas a sense of urgency on the issue of coastal defense.

According to Li Reisa's speculation, Lordaeron is unlikely to send privateers north again in a short time.

Their previous success also took advantage of the unsuspecting high elves.

Now Quel'Thalas has raised its vigilance. The lighthouses in various coastal towns are turned on 24 hours a day, and there are people watching from the lighthouses at any time.

Now is definitely not a good time to attack again, Terenas is not so stupid as this.

Quel'Thalas must strike a deal with Kul Tiras before Lordaeron's next wave of intrigue arrives.

As the Sun King, Kael'thas questioned Lordaeron, asking them to explain where the sudden "pirates" came from, and why Lordaeron did not issue warnings when the "pirates" entered and exited.

Without actual evidence, this kind of bickering is doomed to no results, but it can hold Terenas' attention, making him temporarily idle and afraid to mess around again.

Thanks to the cement produced in the Earl of Deep Shadow, the restoration project of Sunsail Port was very efficient, and four towering turrets were built on the coast afterwards.

The cannon purchased from Kul Tiras is now mounted on the turret base.

As the royal planner, Sarlayan asked the researchers of the National Defense Research Institute to work overtime to research guns and cannons propelled by magic power as soon as possible.

According to those researchers, with the gunpowder weapon as a reference, this improvement is not difficult. The difficulty is how to increase the speed of the bullet (cannonball) when it exits the chamber and further enhance its power.

In this era, breech-loading guns were already used, but the gunpowder and bullets were loaded separately, which was very inconvenient to operate.

Moreover, the bullets used today are still solid balls, which are very different from the tapered bullets mentioned by the barrage.

Taking into account aerodynamic factors, Sarlayan provided some inspiration for the researchers, letting them try to inject bullets and arcane energy instead of gunpowder into the bullets, design the bullets into a streamlined shape, and then inject them into the barrel (gun barrel) Engraved rifling.

The rifling gives the bullet the ability to rotate before it exits the chamber, increasing exit speed and stability.

The efficiency of manual rifling is too low. Sarlayan proposed a general idea and asked researchers to solve it through automated machines.

How to do it is left to their own research.

Sarlayan is not a professional technician, he just proposes ideas, and the researchers will perfect his ideas.

After explaining the miscellaneous things, Sharlayan finally returned to his home territory with the support of Valeera and Stellagosa.

Super spy Onyxia volunteered to go to Lordaeron to investigate intelligence.

Sharlayan's injury made the three girls, including Onyxia, very unhappy. They made up their minds to seek back the debt from Lordaeron. stand.

Knowing that Sarlayan had finally returned to the territory, Vereesa, who had become a little rich woman, immediately looked for her.

"Yo~ Are you dying?"

Vereesa leaned against the door and looked at Sarlayan, who was covered in many bandages, with surprise flashing in her eyes.

"It's really strange. I didn't expect you to use bandages one day. I thought your self-healing ability was unlimited."

Sharlayan shook his head with a wry smile: "Stop making sarcastic remarks, at least I've been wounded for my country."

Vereesa rolled her eyes: "Okay, you're honorably injured... I won't quarrel with you anymore, I'm here to tell you something serious."

Sharlayan's eyes flashed, and he said meaningfully: "Those people can't wait any longer?"

Vereesa shrugged: "Did you guess it? They couldn't find where you were, and they all ran to me to pester me. It's annoying."

Sharlayan smiled nonchalantly: "It's just right, I'm going to recuperate in the territory for a while, let them submit the application, I plan to hold a noble meeting in the near future."

Vereesa's eyes lit up: "You have a way to make money again? Don't forget about my second sister, at least leave a sip of soup for the Windrunner family."

Sensing the fierce aura coming from both sides of his body, Sharlayan stood in awe on the spot.

"Don't talk nonsense! What does this have to do with your second sister?"
