53. The change of the storm. The storm is coming -- the moonlight brothers under the stars [10/10]
"So, your subordinates saw with their own eyes that the goblin had a working magic mecha?"
Varian and Mekkatorque were sitting in the garden of the Court of Storms. In front of them, Master Shore of MI7 was reporting on the actions of Sonya, the Shadow Warrior. Mekkatorque was silent and in a low mood.
Well, the Gladiator King's focus is rather unique.
He was not angry because Sonia's recruitment failed. On the contrary, he asked enthusiastically:
"And before Dr. Bang Bang left, he gave us a blueprint of the most critical evil engine? Can you confirm the authenticity of that blueprint? And, can your staff confirm the authenticity of the blueprint in Dr. Bang's hands?
What impact does technology have on the current civilization of Kalimdor?"
"this..."
Master Shore glanced at the silent Minister of Industry, Gelbin Mekkatorque, and said softly:
"MI7 has always believed that professional matters should be left to real experts, and in the field of engineering, I believe that no one has a more say than Mr. Mekkatorque."
Varian nodded. He leaned back on the chair very relaxedly and looked back at the dwarf:
"Well, what do you say? My friend Mekkatorque."
"Um?"
This question disturbed the dwarf craftsman who was thinking, and the latter sighed and said in a low mood:
"I've seen that drawing. It's genuine... Dr. Bangbang didn't fool us. The drawing described in detail the structure of the evil engine he envisioned. And if that little girl Sonia saw it with her own eyes, she could
An active fel energy mecha means that Dr. Boom has indeed produced a qualified fel energy engine."
"Does that also mean that we can..."
A glint flashed in Varian's eyes, but Mekkatorque guessed what the king wanted to say, and he shook his head:
"No! We can't make it, not because of technical reasons, but because of the materials... With the current material production level of the Human Empire, we simply can't make a qualified evil engine. Even if we can barely make it, its service life will be
It has been shortened many times, but although we cannot make weapons-grade engines, we can try to make some civilian-grade engines."
Speaking of this, the dwarf craftsman's fantastic ideas burst out again, and he said enthusiastically:
"For example, the "steam battleship" idea proposed by the shipbuilding masters of Kul Tiras earlier. We can completely replace the low-output steam engine with a fel engine, or modify it... In the final analysis, fel energy
It is an unsafe energy. If it can be replaced with arcane or elemental energy, this thing can be of great use!"
"This is also very good! I will immediately ask the engineers and technicians at the Lion Research Institute to start replicating it."
Varian moved his fingers with satisfaction and winked at Shore, who nodded slightly.
Obviously, the king saw indescribable business opportunities from those drawings. This good thing will definitely not be shared with other kingdoms at least until the technology is popularized.
"Even if it is imitated, it will probably take a long time."
The dwarf didn't notice the eye contact between the king and Shore. He was focused on the last sentence that Dr. Boom Tosonia brought to him, between Gelbin Mekkatorque and Dr. Boom.
There is no deep friendship, and they have only met a few times at several annual meetings of the Engineering Society, but as the leaders of dwarf engineering and goblin engineering, apart from their intellectual struggle, there is also a
A kind of friendship that cherishes each other.
But now, Dr. Boom has gone to the path of the stars, but he, he, stays in the human country, wasting his precious time and precious wisdom so wantonly.
Thinking of this, Mekkatorque had the urge to resign to Varian immediately and go back to Orkaz Island for research, but he was not a person who gave up halfway... so he did not make that kind of impulsive decision, and
With Mekkatorque's IQ, he could easily tell that, maybe Dr. Boom himself didn't understand it, but there was obviously a hint of "Tyrion-style" conspiracy in his message.
Obviously, the mysterious overlord used his words to influence Dr. Boom, and then Mekkatorque, to create a little "joke" for the industrial affairs of the Kingdom of Stormwind. He seemed to want to use this joke
The same "scheming" was used to derail Varian's reforms.
Mekkatorque's low mood also attracted Varian's attention. The king waved his hand, and Master Shaw quietly left the garden. After there were only Varian and Mekkatorque, the Storm King felt a little confused.
Said with emotion:
"Master Craftsman, do you know? When I was a gladiator, at the very beginning, I was a gladiator apprentice under Regar. At that time, the person responsible for training me was a powerful orc gladiator, but he, like me, also
Gladiator apprentices are not real gladiators... We were rivals at that time, and I learned fighting skills from him. I was very weak at that time, so in my eyes, that fierce orc was my biggest opponent!"
"Then one day, the orc was suddenly selected as an official gladiator in Regar's gladiator team. When I watched him step into the arena representing glory, a very complicated feeling suddenly surged in my heart.
The emotion...jealousy, or unwillingness, I can obviously tie with him, but why is he the one standing there and receiving the cheers, and not me?"
Varian's sudden story made the extremely clever Mekkatorque raise his head. The dwarf looked at the king. He knew very well why Varian told this story. After a few seconds, Mekkatorque shook his head:
"No! Varian, I'm not jealous of Dr. Boom. I know how smart he is, and I know how strong his desire for new knowledge is. I just...just, alas, maybe I was indeed affected by his message.
Well, for scientists, it is best not to get too deeply involved in politics, but I made this mistake. What Dr. Bangbang said is right. In the past few years after returning to the empire, I did not do it well at all.
Research..."
The great craftsman raised his head and looked at the slightly gloomy sky above his head:
"So I was surpassed by him. He had already begun to try to enter the stars and realize the greatest fantasy of a scientist. But I, I was trapped on the ground. I could only look up to the sky. I could only look up to him."
"No no no!"
Varian shrugged:
"That's not what I want to say...I haven't finished my story yet. Be patient, Mekkatorque."
"My orc opponent won several gladiatorial matches, and his reputation was established. However, just a few days later, he encountered a more terrifying opponent, which was an orc sword master. My opponent may have been
Victory went to his head, and he was easily beheaded by the old swordsman... This story gave me a vivid lesson when I was still very young, and let me know... how important it is to lay a solid foundation."
"I worked as a gladiatorial apprentice in Regal's team for three years, and then spent one year becoming several gladiatorial champions. Even the swordmaster who chopped off my opponent's head failed in front of me.
, this is what I want to say! Great craftsman."
Varian reached out and patted Mekkatorque on the shoulder. He said softly:
"If you walk fast, you may not necessarily reach the finish line early. The person who can truly stand on the throne is always the person who is prepared for everything."
"What I really want to ask you is, after ignoring the influence of Dr. Boom, do you think you are ready to step into the stars?"
The king's question made the somewhat frustrated dwarf stunned for a moment. After thinking for more than ten seconds, Gelbin Mekkatorque breathed out, and his usual heartless smile appeared on his face.
:
"Ah! Varian, you are indeed a good friend and brother... Indeed, I am not prepared at all. Even if I throw everything away and chase Dr. Boom now, I will not be faster than him. However, I may be
I ended up taking my own life because I was too adventurous..."
After laughing, the dwarf's expression became serious again, and he looked at Varian:
"But I'm already 30 years behind him! I'm going to serve you in your country for 30 years, Varian, so we're going to do it faster, and then use the industrial base I built for this country,
To achieve my goal of catching up with Dr. Boom, or even surpassing me...I'm going to get serious, Varian!"
"I hope your poor country and your ministers can keep up with the speed of my thinking..."
"Oh, this might be a scary challenge for them..."
Varian laughed and said to the dwarf:
"But we will do our best... But speaking of which, you have read Miss Sonia's mission report. What do you think the meaning of Dr. Boom's words reveals?"
Faced with this question, Mekkatorque snapped his fingers, and the dwarf said quickly in a sharp voice:
"Obviously, the Dark Blade Legion is no longer satisfied with its power in Azeroth. The undead are actively exploring ways to advance outside the world. You should have noticed that Dr. Boom said, "Tyrion will give
He is a planet." This shows that Dark Blade may have mastered the method of traveling from Azeroth to the outer reaches of the stars. It may be an interstellar portal, or it may be... some engineering that only exists in fantasy.
science and technology."
"For example, those legion's fel battleships... If Dr. Boom can decipher the mysteries of the fel mechas, then he will definitely be able to destroy the mysteries of those legion's warships. After all, that guy is the smartest person in Azeroth.
He is smarter than me, so you can't underestimate him."
"Well, that makes sense!"
Varian nodded seriously and asked again:
"What else?"
"Also, I'm beginning to think that what you said before, your guesses about Tyrion and Dark Blade, should be correct."
The dwarf master craftsman rubbed his ears, looked at the mission report in his hand, and said:
"Judging from what Dr. Bangpeng said, the Dark Blade Legion no longer regards the Empire as its opponent. The two are no longer on the same level. From this time on, their war against the long-eared elves has
It can be seen that if the undead are willing, they can completely capture any country in the world within one day..."
"But that's a good thing!"
The dwarf shrugged:
"This means that Dark Blade will not put too much energy on other civilizations. No giant with normal thinking will take the initiative to crush the ants at his feet. This also means that you have enough time to complete
My own plan, Varian, as long as your king friends don't act foolishly and provoke the undead."
"I am an engineering researcher, Varian, and I am also an engineer. I can tell you responsibly that judging from Tyrion's activities in the past few years, he is obviously carrying out an attack on Azeroth.
A purposeful, detailed and systematic plan. All civilizations in the world are part of this plan, and humans...you have been planned."
"So you should advise your king friends to temporarily look away from the undead. Apart from the blood feud between them, they are not your enemies anymore, at least not now."
——————————————————————
On the 7th day after Dr. Boom left Gadgetzan, in the conference room of Lordaeron City on the eastern continent, news was received that Tyrion and other death lords, as well as the blood lords, who rushed back from the dead world, returned.
There are forgotten kings who are usually busy observing other civilizations, and they are all gathered together today.
This mighty formation, as well as the seriousness in the eyes of the undead, all showed that... something important had happened, or was about to happen.
"Bang"
The door to the conference room was pushed open by two high-ranking knights, the Arch Lich Anastarian Sunstrider holding the document, the Lich Lord Prince Faroldis, the Director of the Federal Academy of Magic Elsa Blue Moon, and
The first lord of Sindra Elf, Mordent Yongying, and these casters with the most powerful magical attainments in the Dark Blade Legion all walked into the conference room.
Lord Tyrion, who was sitting in the center of the conference room, looked around. Except for a few lords who had important missions and could not come, everyone else was here.
So he nodded and said to the big lich:
"Let's begin! Sun Chaser..."
"About the thing you informed us about...about the great tide of magic that is about to begin and envelope the world...and that after the tide of magic recedes, or becomes stable...this damn world, will
