Stratholme God

Chapter 143 The dam and the diverted torrent (2 more)
The world of Azeroth is a world where technology side and fantasy side coexist.

There are not only demon king Sargeras, a super individual with great power that can penetrate the planet with one blow, but also space fleets.At the time of the Second Dark Portal War, the artillery had already been installed on the dwarves of Ironforge.

It's just that on the human side, there are still backward muzzle-loading guns, generally with a heavy barrel of more than one ton, making them mostly unusable in field battles, and can only be used as fortress guns or naval guns.

The barrel is too heavy, the biggest reason is that the casting process of the barrel is not good enough.

At present, the mud casting method is used to manufacture cannons.There are many casting defects inside this cast cannon, and the material strength is poor.Compared with weapons such as cannons that require high strength, the thickness of the barrel wall can only be increased to increase the strength, so it is very bulky.

However, with the emergence of sand sculpture players, these real *bad guys directly changed the technology tree of the alliance.

In fact, McDonald thought about it, is the most powerful traveler a mold maker?
Anyway he is not.

But there are sand sculpture players!

They offered to help McDonnell get the cannon.

Come on, anyway, there is a mine at home, so it doesn't matter, just toss around.

If you don't have a mold, you can do it yourself with the method of foundry.

The general method is to first make a mold you want with a flat wooden board, then pour sand and compact it hard to make it shape.Remove the wooden board, pour molten iron into the sand mold, and finally get an iron mold with a rough surface.

It is definitely unusable in this way, and the iron mold must be polished.In the absence of electric grinding tools, it can only be polished by hand with a file very hard. After smoothing, it can be further polished with sandpaper.

This thing is quite time-consuming, and a little patience will not work.

After grinding, the molten metal can be poured into the iron mold.

Fortunately, Stratholme has a more powerful metal than copper and iron-thorium!
The metal performance of this thing is so strong that it surpasses most crude steel, which allows the Stratholme collar to temporarily skip building blast furnaces and other things.

Of course, today, when a standard 12.5kg piece of Thorium ingot is sold for 40 gold coins, a Thorium cannon with a total weight of more than 1 ton is worth more than 3500 gold just for the metal itself.Not to mention the other manpower and material resources required for casting.

When this thing came out, I don’t know how many knights were drooling at it - if this is used to make armor, how many sets of full-body armor can be made?
The prodigal family has been defeated to this point, and it is recognized that the Duke of Stratholme, who has a mine at home, can afford it.

The red-clothed cannon in ancient China had a range of 1500 meters.

The performance of this 88mm Thorium cannon is hard to say.After all, it is a test product, and there is no rifling in the barrel.

However, based on the idea that this thing is hard enough and will not explode, the sick operator (player) filled it with more than [-] rounds of iron bumps the size of soybeans, and called it [Soybean Bomb]. [Dense Explosive Powder] Exploded in one shot.

A beam of violent iron sand flew across the sky above the Northland Fortress.

The orc rider only felt a dark curtain looming over him, and he couldn't hide at all.

That's horrible!
The beautiful and cool dragon eagle, seen from a distance, the edges of its wings are as bright as blood.

It's really bloody now.

The wing membrane, which was originally not too thin, was full of large and small holes. The sharp dying neigh of the dragon eagle and the screams of the orc rider, even after the fall, lasted for a long time, echoing throughout the valley.

The humans suddenly burst into wild cheers.

"Oh oh oh!"

"Is it dead? Is it dead?"

"You still want to fly over and attack us? You want to eat fart!"

Soldiers don't care how much it costs to build a cannon with a total weight of one ton. They only know that these big guys that look exaggerated can protect their heads, and that's enough.

Lately, they had heard much about the plight of their fellow humans when Thoradin's Wall fell.

Now that there is a new Patronus, they certainly celebrate with impunity.

Seeing the golden figure flashing past the fortress wall from time to time, Orgrim and Zuluhed here were speechless for a long time.

The Stratholme collar is indeed an iron turtle, don't try to knock it in until the orcs get the logistics done.

Therefore, the orc bosses happily (helplessly) decided to kill the elves first and turn this wonderful forest into their own hunting grounds first.

This principle is like releasing a flood.Floods will always rush towards the side without the dam.

The elf... just like this, he was trapped by a certain duke with a sense of self-preservation.

Aurelia and the others persisted for almost a month, but were helplessly pushed all the way to the edge of Eversong Forest by the large orc army cooperating with the trolls.

I thought this was the limit of the orcs, but unexpectedly, something happened to the rune circle that the high elves were proud of.

It was a six-story-high almost trapezoidal black boulder.

"I... and my ancestors spent countless generations unable to break through this damned defense." Zujin said with great resentment.

Seeing the pattern on the rune stone that resembles the pattern of the women's toilet in the Celestial Dynasty, and the word "earth" was added underneath, Orgrim knew that this was not an area he could intervene in.

"Gul'dan!?"

"Hehe! I'm happy to serve you, my great chief." Goudan stepped forward with a smile on his face, and took a closer look.

Most people in the world only remember Gul'dan's brutality and insidiousness, and his terrifying fel magic, but few people notice that he himself is a rare space magic master.

Let me ask, how can a guy who has no level of space magic make the Dark Portal?

The rune circle that the elves are proud of is not worth mentioning in front of the dog egg who is a demigod-level mage.In fact, he can break the formation immediately.

Goudan will not let go of this opportunity to rip off the great chief.

"It can be cracked, but I need sacrifices! A lot of living sacrifices!" A sly light flashed in Goudan's eyes.

He already had a different heart.

During the siege of Stormwind City, Medivh was attacked by human troops, which affected the spiritual link between him and Gul'dan.

Gul'dan knew that Medivh's death was approaching, and tried to infiltrate his consciousness to find Sargeras' power, but when his spirit infiltrated Medivh's soul, Medivh died.

The mental storm caused by the demigod mage before his death affected Goudan, causing Goudan to fall into a long sleep.When he awoke, Orgrim had killed Gul'dan's puppet chieftain, Blackhand, and eliminated the Shadow Council to consolidate his power.

Now that he had finally waited for Orgrim to ask him, he certainly took the opportunity to spread a wave of fel energy.

Orgrim knew it as soon as he heard it, and he would frown instinctively like opening the Dark Portal to sacrifice to the Draenei.

But he finally agreed.

"Give Gul'dan the prisoner of Golden Mist Village first!" he ordered Varok Saurfang.

That night, the elves' rune circle collapsed, and the orcs invaded Sunsail Port...

But the impatient Sun King was really shocked for the first time. He urgently sent an envoy for help, through the newly built portal in Lordaeron City in Dalaran, and arrived in a hurry.
