Azeroth’s Death Track

Yo, look who this is.

Later that day, in the specially prepared hall on the third basement floor of Darkforge City, the light of spar lamps illuminated the hall as if it were daytime, and in the side doors on both sides of the hall, the goblin Hesso and the dwarf Overspark Walking into the room almost at the same time, Hesuo took off his black hat mercilessly, and mocked Overspark:

A dwarf! My God, shouldn't you deal with your own city? Gnomeregan, the great city of technology, destroyed by your own poor craftsmanship, or are you planning to destroy the city of Darkforge Oh my god, should I get out of here earlier before you mess up Shadowforge too!

Myra, who was sitting on the seat above, had the illusion that the moment the two short men met, their eyes collided, like dueling warriors, wishing to kill each other with their eyes, and this aura of daggers and swords also Let Meera admire Tyrion's wicked wisdom from the bottom of her heart.

My God, how did my cousin come up with such a crazy idea?

Myra sighed in a low voice while picking up the dragon's blood wine at hand. He only appeared as an official symbol in today's bidding meeting. The real host was a goblin who was dressed in a white bearskin cloak and was very rich and noble. buddy.

This guy is now the head of the Dark Blade Consortium, and has grown into a bigwig in the entire South China Sea business circle. It is said that the Dark Blade Consortium is fighting a brutal trade war with Gadgetzan’s Steam Sand Consortium recently. The pirates employed by both sides had a fight in the South China Sea, which disturbed the entire southern part of the world.

And Hesuo's pungent ridicule made Overspark immediately furious. He reached out and pressed his mechanical goggles, and the thick lenses mixed with gears bounced off, revealing the eyes of the master craftsman full of sarcasm.

The great engineer Hesuo stood in front of me. He made a lot of money for himself with bombs and gunpowder, but why when I looked at the report this morning, I found that four out of five companies in the entire Darkforge City What's the matter with choosing the products of Overspark Technology Labs? Goblin engineering is despised? Oh, of course, get out of here with your poor explosive toys, dark furnace The technology circle in the city is the domain of the gnomes!

Stupid and lowly dwarf, you are crazy, keep the profit so low, I won't be as brainless as you!

Hesuo slammed his fist on the table and yelled at Overspark like a beast:

If you do business like this, you will have to lose all your costs before next year, and you will still triumphantly mock me, your territory? Are you peeing around Darkforge City to stop us from making money?

We're here to change the world, idiot!

The white-haired dwarf spread his hands and called to the goblin:

We don't care about money, gnome engineering is for the future of this world!

Don't care about money? Then why are you here?

The goblin snorted coldly:

Go away, let me make money, and you go and change the world, idiots!

boom

The sound of a mallet hitting the table interrupted the pecking between the dwarf and the goblin. Buddy Moore, who was sitting on the referee's seat, waved his hand in disgust, and said to the people seated below:

Time is money, my friends, you are wasting my wealth... Now listen to me, I am Buddy Moore, the chairman of the Dark Blade Consortium, you can be understood as the sixth trade prince, in short , I came here today at the request of His Majesty Tyrion Dawnblade, the Great Lord of the Dark Blade Knights and the Eternal King of Draenor, to preside over this weapon bidding event!

Buddy glanced at the two forces below, and he coughed lightly:

The basic investment for this weapon design is 3 million gold coins, and the design is required to be completed and delivered within a maximum of 2 years.

The general function of the weapons required by the Dark Blade military is a new generation of technological armor, which requires defensive and offensive capabilities similar to steam tanks, and must meet certain mobility requirements and the need to form combat capabilities in a short period of time.

I know it's difficult. In the current Azeroth, there is no similar work, but I only give you 15 minutes to prepare, and then I will express the design ideas of both parties.

Buddy Moore stroked the beard of his chin, a hint of cunning flashed in his gray eyes:

And I'm also very curious, goblin engineering and gnome engineering, the two extremes of Azeroth engineering, which one can really change the future of the world, I will wait and see.

Buddy's voice fell, and the goblin side immediately started a tense discussion. As a new generation genius of goblin engineering, Hesuo was waving a paintbrush in his hand and was painting something on paper. Obviously, he already had a big ideas.

On the other hand, the dwarfs, although there were a large number of people, were caught in a strange quarrel.

How did you persuade us, Overspark!

The great craftsman asked angrily:

You clearly said that our designs would not be used in wars! You liar, look at you, you are now designing weapons for the undead that can kill our allies for some money!

It's necessary, Mekkatorque, I didn't lie to you!

Overspark clenched his fists and explained to the other dwarf councilors:

I know that this weapon is designed to be put on the battlefield, and many people will die, but it is necessary, Mekkatorque, think with your extraordinary wisdom, the undead need weapons, and once we withdraw, weapons The design of the system will be handed over to the goblins, think what kind of weapons will be designed by those crazy people who are crazy about bombs and explosions?

The white-haired dwarf quibbles:

Yes, weapons are designed to kill people. I know you are afraid of this kind of destructive power, and I am also afraid, but any powerful force is dangerous. Do you want it to be less dangerous? Yes, but it must be The power of weapon design is firmly in our hands, only in this way can we ensure that the weapons of the undead will not be so deadly in the future... at least they will not reach the point of inhumane!

If we quit today, Mekkatorque, in the future, when the undead destroy the world with insane weapons designed by goblins, will we feel pain and guilt?

The timid engineer Overspark was like Nathrezim possessed at this time, persuading him with a smooth tongue:

We obviously have the ability to change everything, and once the gnome engineering has established authority in the field of weapon design, we can completely influence them, influence those undead... At least, at least we can save more people from death! Non-lethal Sex weapon, remember when we envisioned it? Isn't this a great opportunity?

But I still can't accept that my design will be used to take life. Sorry, Overspark, what you said makes a lot of sense, but I can't accept it.

Mekkatorque shook off his old friend's hand, stood up, and strode away from his seat. The other councilors also hesitated, and the white-haired dwarf looked at Mekkatorque's back, and he shouted loudly:

You want to save people, you want to change the world, but you don't want your soul to be polluted... God, you have so many demands!

Mekkatorque, you know what I've learned in our never-ending bickering? It's that I've had enough! I've had enough of your talk, enough of your stubbornness like mud Fountains, those stained with mud, that's like you!

The upright will always give up before the wicked, get out! I will do it myself!

The master craftsman gritted his teeth, picked up the paper and pen, and began to write and draw. On the other side, seeing the conflict between the dwarves, the engineer Heisuo whistled triumphantly, and pushed his monocle , said mockingly:

Look, the gnomes are fighting among themselves, like so many things they have done, with great ambitions but no results, this one, goblin engineering wins! So easy, it's like snatching candy from a child Same!

Facing this mockery, the gnomes were speechless.

Fifteen minutes later, Heisuo triumphantly walked up to the lectern seat. Behind him, secretary Nasha unfolded a brief design drawing, and the drowsy Myra also opened her eyes and watched with great interest. Looking at the ugly blueprint of the machine.

Everyone, this is the original design of Hesso Technology. Of course, it is ugly because I don't have enough time to improve it, but the necessary modules have been designed!

Heisuo adjusted his dress, and introduced to the death lords sitting in the back of the hall, who couldn't see clearly:

I named it Fighter. Don't worry about the name. It is the latest design of a bipedal machine. Its body size is 3-4 meters, and the total combat weight is estimated to be 2-4 tons.

It contains a complete set of gyroscopes to ensure its smooth operation and combat process. The shell made of steel is responsible for defense. The shell is equipped with high-intensity currents to ensure devastating damage to enemies in close combat!

Basic offensive weapons, I initially designed a flamethrower, a knife-wheel type high-speed cutter, and small honeycomb bombs arranged on the arms and back. The feet are pretending to be spraying devices. When necessary, it can achieve short-term Float in the air, and the latest twin-turbo engine developed by Hesso Technology will provide it with strong power!

Hesso coughed lightly:

It will definitely be the best individual warfare weapon you can find, bar none! Excuse me, who has any doubts about my perfect design? Please bring it up.

As he spoke, Heisuo looked provocatively at the dwarf craftsman Overspark below. The latter was upset because of Mekkatorque's departure. He could feel that there was a problem with the design in front of him, but he didn't know where the problem was. There, he could only grit his teeth and stand in his seat.

Oh, there doesn't seem to be any questioning...

Hesuo snorted, turned and walked towards Buddy Moore, he stretched out his hand, wanting to shake hands with Buddy to confirm his victory, but at the moment Hesuo left the podium, a deep voice came from the entrance ringing everywhere.

Heisuo engineer, I have a little doubt. The thrust required for a 2-4 ton heavy machine is amazing. Are you sure you have an engine that can drive it to fight at full speed?

swish

Sweat appeared on Heisuo's forehead, and he said calmly:

Of course, our company's latest product can fully guarantee...

I have read your paper, Mr. Hesse, including the parameters of the turbine engine you designed yourself. Unfortunately, if you want to drive such a heavy mecha, you need to load at least 4 engines inside it, and the problem is that , The weight of just 4 engines already exceeds 1 ton, plus the cumbersome weapons you designed...the total weight of the battle is 2-4 tons? Sorry, you must be talking in your sleep!

A short figure stood at the entrance of the hall. Under the silent gaze of the entire hall, Mekkatorque reached out and pushed his engineering goggles. Between the collision of the gears, the smartest engineer shot his deadliest of a card.

What's more, the crude fuel that goblins are best at, in the current power system, it is difficult to provide enough kinetic energy to push a 2-4 ton robot off the ground to suspend, that is, unless you give this robot Ugly machine with a giant fuel tank, otherwise, your design...is a piece of shit for money!

boom

Buddy Moore turned his gloomy eyes to the goblin engineer beside him, and he asked in a cold voice:

Is what he said true? Blackfuse engineer? If you are really trying to deceive the Dark Blade Consortium with your excellent thinking, I can guarantee that you will spend the rest of your life in the mines of Darkforge City , and that beautiful lady secretary, put the pistol in your hand on the ground, I only give you 3 seconds!

Uh, Nasha, don't be impulsive!

Heisuo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and waved to his secretary. He took a deep breath and said sincerely to Buddy:

Well, there are always some discrepancies in the original design. I am very grateful to Mr. Mekkatorque for pointing out these mistakes, but this does not mean that my design is a failure. What's more, I am also very curious. Mr. Ke, do you have any designs of your own...

Hesuo gritted his teeth to say the last few words, and the next moment, amidst Overspark's cheers, Mekkatorque stepped onto the podium, tore off Hesuo's design, Throwing it on the ground and stepping on it fiercely, the master craftsman scolded disdainfully:

It's a pile of garbage! Now let's take a look at the design of Gnomeregan. Time is limited, I can only design a rough module, I named it...Master Chief Defense and Offense System! This is the entire Gnomeregan The crystallization of the wisdom of the Morrigan Artisan Council! It is so much better than the combination of the so-called bomb and gunpowder.

At the moment when he unfolded his blueprint, Mekkatorque's eyes met Myra's blood-red eyes. The playful light made the artisan subconsciously take a step back, but the next moment, he gritted his teeth. , talking to himself:

It's not for me, it's for...for gnome engineering, for my faith! For...for this world!
