"Aha, this is your first time making an airship, right?"
Brian Bronzebeard, who tied himself tightly to the swinging seat with a seat belt, looked pale, but the old dwarf still did not miss any opportunity to attack Lorewalker Zhou Zhuo.
Because just last night, the second drinking contest between the two still ended in Brian's failure, which made the old dwarf who was addicted to alcohol very frustrated.
Faced with the old dwarf's malicious joke, Lorewalker Zhou Zhuo gritted his teeth and hugged the tool bag tightly in his arms without saying a word. The two leather locks were also fastened tightly on the round panda man.
body to ensure that the draenei airship flying rapidly in the storm would not throw him out.
At this moment, this beautiful silver-white shuttle-type airship was struggling to stabilize its course in the strong winds of the storm cliff, but probably because the situation was too bad, the three Draenei pilots yelled at each other.
The scream made the atmosphere in the entire airship cabin become very solemn, as if the spacecraft might crash into the dead snowy mountains of the storm cliffs in the next moment.
But the actual situation is not that bad... This silver-white spaceship is a small airship copied by the draenei in recent years. It was originally based on the four frigates that carried the draenei across the stars.
, of course, after experiencing a long exile of 25,000 years, the Draenei, who were originally a race among the stars, have lost too much technology, and the years of suffering have even caused faults in their civilization.
However, Prophet Velen is a mature and prudent leader after all. As early as the world of Draenor, draenei technicians were trying to reshape the technology of the spaceship, but the orc war interrupted this process. After the draenei entered
After Azeroth and a new foothold in the Borean Tundra, this long-term technological reshaping work began again.
Nearly 10 years have passed, and the Draenei have lived up to expectations and produced Azeroth's first engineering airship that can fly long distances.
But to be honest, compared with the original four star frigates, the technical content of this thing is simply the gap between a bug and a giant. This silver airship named "Far Traveler" can only fly in the atmosphere, and its flying speed
It cannot exceed Mach 2, otherwise there is a risk of disintegration, and the internal area is narrow. It can only carry 8 passengers, including the pilot, and no more than 200KG of items at a time. In addition to the escort firepower that is better than nothing, there is no any
Weapons for air combat and ground warfare, and must be recharged in time after each flight.
But in the eyes of the draenei, the airship is terrible, but considering the current engineering level of Azeroth, it is already a very remarkable masterpiece. Even the master craftsmen from the Black Iron Region came to visit it.
Visiting, the shameless goblins also tried to bribe the draenei technicians to get the blueprints of the airship. However, under Velen's order, the draenei technicians who participated in the construction of the airship were guarded day and night by the garrison, and once
The honest and honest Draenei have become much smarter under the influence of Azeroth's business environment. It is said that they seem to have plans to sell this airship to others, but the asking price is extremely high...
"Rumble"
As the wind on the storm cliff became more and more violent, the bumps of the Farstrider airship became more and more terrifying. The steel plates glued together by the draenei using gem technology even began to shake crazily. The pale-faced Pandaren
When I had the courage to look out the porthole, I found that the sides of this cigar-shaped airship were covered in terrible frost, and black smoke began to emit from the tail of the airship.
"I remember you said we have a parachute bag for emergency use, right?"
Zhou Zhuo turned around in fear and looked at the old dwarf who was clinging to the seat. Brian Bronzebeard was also scared, but the face-loving old dwarf didn't want to embarrass himself in front of his new friends, so he said nothing and acted very coquettishly.
He put a cigar in his mouth.
Faced with Zhou Zhuo's question, the old dwarf answered with difficulty in the terrible shock:
"Ha, parachute bag? It's best not to count on that thing... That thing was outsourced to the goblins by the unscrupulous Draenei. It is said that there is a 5% chance of malfunction. In such bad weather, malfunction will
The rate will increase to 30%.”
"Then what should we do? The ship is emitting black smoke!"
Zhou Zhuo shouted: "Think of a way, Brian!"
The old dwarf clenched his fists, glanced at the frightened Pandaren, and said:
"There is a way..."
"Um?"
"Pray, pray to all the damn gods you can think of...Pray that we won't fall into this ice and snow..."
—————————————————————————
Facts have proved that the Creator always prefers certain gifted lives...
After nearly 30 minutes of bumping in the storm cliff's sub-zero winds, when Lorewalker was about to vomit out his intestines, under the life-threatening maneuvers of the highly skilled Draenei captain, the airship
Finally, it was difficult but fortunate to pass through the windy area, and several distinguished guests from the Explorers Association were successfully sent to the expedition base camp located on the snow flow plain.
The moment he stepped onto the snow again, the pale-faced Zhou Zhuo's legs softened and he knelt in the cold snow.
He swore that he would never ride in a Draenei airship again. This thing... was too exciting.
The old dwarf showed that he was not afraid of anything. He held the gangway, talked loudly with the Draenei pilots, shared cigars with each other, and then directed a few dwarf assistants to fly into the air.
All the supplies in the boat warehouse were moved out.
Brian's legs were also very weak, but he was very smart. He kept holding on to the gangway until he regained his mobility, and then he swaggered into the base camp in front of him.
The Bronzebeard Dwarves and the Explorers Association have been in this isolated land of ice and snow for several years. The original crude camp has now been trimmed into a decent fortress, just like the other fortresses of the dwarves.
The underground area of this thing is larger than the buildings exposed on the surface.
"Is Muradin out again?"
Walking into the warm fortress, Brian took the hot wine from Dashiel and asked the person in charge:
"I've only been away for four days, I hope you don't mess up our work."
"No! Brian! We made a big discovery!"
Facing Brian's inquiry, the person in charge here, the senior master of the Explorers Association, the Stormpike Dwarf Phil Haby excitedly waved a map and shouted to Brian:
"Just yesterday, a sudden avalanche destroyed our sentry post in the northeast. Several guys were severely frostbitten, but this is a good thing! Prince Muradin led his soldiers to rescue them. Guess what?"
The dwarf tapped the ground crazily with his thick fingers:
"It's right there! Brian, the avalanche disaster exposed a mountain platform, where there are obvious traces of artificial excavation... There are also many ancient mechanical creations that have not been activated, at least 100 years ago.
They are 20,000 years old, and they look very much like dwarfs... They are mechanical dwarfs, do you understand? The ancestors of dwarfs! We discovered them!"
"Mechagnome?"
Brian's eyes suddenly widened at this moment, and the old dwarf's slightly embarrassed appearance came to life at a speed visible to the naked eye. He drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and then carried himself on his back.
carrying his heavy luggage, he walked outside and shouted loudly:
"Dahir! Dahir... start the drilling machine quickly! And you, Zhou Zhuo, there is no time left for you to recover. Come on, it must be you who brought good luck. We have made a big discovery.
!”
"Uh...I feel so bad."
The traveler lying beside the brazier replied feebly:
"Give me a break... Oh my god, it feels so bad... Damn it! Ugh..."
Before Zhou Zhuo finished speaking, the shadow around him began to become active. Ella, who had been following Zhou Zhuo and hiding her figure, raised her hand and threw a small piece of weird pill into Zhou Zhuo's mouth.
Then forcing the pandaren to swallow the pill, she let out a deep, high-pitched laugh, then turned around and disappeared into the shadows.
That weird potion seemed to stimulate people's spirits. In just a few minutes, Zhou Zhuo's face turned rosy. He breathed heavily, drank two glasses of wine crazily, and then followed out with his backpack.
In permafrost such as Storm Peaks, drilling machines that can quickly excavate tunnels underground move very slowly. However, because of Princess Moira, this type of drilling machine was accepted by the dwarves and traveled underground.
The vehicle can avoid the terrible low temperature on the surface, so even if the speed is slower, it is still bearable.
In the slightly narrow cabin of the drilling rig, an old dwarf wearing a cowboy hat was paying close attention to the matter and imparting knowledge of this land to Zhou Zhuopu, who was visiting Storm Cliff for the first time.
"Listen to me, Zhou Zhuo, you must not run around in this hellish place."
The old dwarf waved his finger over the map of Storm Peaks:
"This land is filled with crazy steel beings. There are steel dwarves who are very similar to us, and there are also some violent and terrifying steel vrykul. In the past two years, they often came in groups to besiege us.
Stronghold, we spent a lot of effort to destroy their base camp. Now if you go to the depths of the Snow Flood Plain, you can still see the thunder-cast colossus built there by those crazy steel beings. It is a terrifying steel giant.
Fortunately they didn't finish it."
"There are some flesh-and-blood Vrykul women tribes in the mountains of Storm Peak. They are all a group of female wolves. They are crazy and warlike, and they also have the bad habit of robbing men. If you are unfortunate enough to be captured by them, you will probably live half the time at most.
It will be really drained within a few months.”
At this point, Brian let out a low and obscene laugh, but there were women here, so the old dwarf quickly stopped talking and moved his finger to the southwest corner of the map:
"Here! This is the hometown of the frost dwarves we discovered before, Frost Castle. We have the same bloodline as them. They are local aborigines and have a good relationship with us. Occasionally, they will use their tamed giant eagles to help us transport some
Things, but the frost dwarves are very afraid of the land close to Ulduar, they almost never come here, and now there is one of our backup bases over there in Frost Castle."
"Here is the end!"
Bronzebeard's finger tapped hard on the southeast side of the map:
"Here are the only two plains in the Storm Peaks, but those nasty goblins have set up a trading station here. Those bastards must have heard about Ulduar, and they plan to make a fortune here...
.That damn place is called K3, but those goblins are too reckless. Their city is built next to the mammoth man's lair, so they are often besieged by those beasts, but this is a good thing... Wait, this is
What?"
Brian's eyes were quickly attracted to some metal disc parts held in Zhou Zhuo's hand. The old dwarf also had some knowledge of engineering, and he could tell that the parts in Zhou Zhuo's hand could be assembled together.
Faced with Brian's curiosity, the traveler did not answer immediately, but quickly assembled the disc parts in his hand. After a few minutes, a yellow disc with a diameter of about one meter appeared in his hand. Zhou Zhuo
His fingers pressed a few buttons on the disc, and the crystals around the disc lit up. Then the metal disc was suspended in front of the two people, and the nozzle below continued to spray out liquid.
The mist of the wind element's breath quickly enveloped the entire disc in the mist.
"This thing is called a flying disc. It was something that the Lorewalkers discovered in some mogu ruins. We call it the "somersault cloud" privately. It is a very useful flying device."
Zhou Zhuo introduced to Brian, who had bright eyes:
"Lorewalkers often use this thing to inspect huge ruins. It can't fly too high. A height of more than 50 yards will make it difficult to control the disc. But it is very flexible. We thought this thing was a magic weapon before.
Made by the ancients, I later found out that these should also be technological artifacts left behind by the mysterious Titans... I thought they might be useful, so I brought three of them this time."
"This thing... may be used to overcome many terrifying traps..."
The old dwarf rubbed his chin and turned to look at Zhou Zhuo:
"What is this... somersault cloud, right? Can it be imitated?"
"sure!"
The traveler nodded:
"We have the complete drawings of the flying disk, which are kept in the headquarters of Pandaria Lorewalkers. This thing is actually very simple to imitate, but the energy source is difficult to solve. After using it several times, it needs to be charged with a special magnet, and
That kind of magnet is only found in Pandaria."
"marvelous!"
The old dwarf patted Zhou Zhuo's belly hard. He rubbed his hands. He seemed to have seen the scene of archaeologists flying around in the ruins on a flying disk. After dozens of minutes, the group finally made it through with difficulty.
After crossing the frozen soil of the Snow Flow Plain, we arrived at the entrance to the ruins located northeast of the Storm Cliffs.
Rushing out of the drilling machine, the old dwarf first saw the ruins in front of him that were closely guarded by the Bronzebeard Legion. This was a large marble platform that looked like it had been buried in the snow for nearly ten thousand years.
There were many strange metal parts scattered around the platform.
"Brian!"
A deep voice came from the tent next to the ruins:
"You are finally back, my brother, come with me. We have found something. His Excellency Alonaya told us that this was the former "Creator Data Station", which contains some important data left by the Creator, but we
Don't know how to operate it, we can't read the damn words...wait, who is this bear man?"
