10. Jump. Start(1/2)
"The colonel's condition is critical and she must be treated immediately!"
An anxious shout rang out in the sci-fi-style hall of Storm Fortress. This spaceship was not the spacecraft that carried the draenei in exile among the stars for 25,000 years. It was made by the naaru using gems.
The starship, but later the draenei, with the consent of the naaru, modified this gem ship, using the draenei's immigration ship Gini that they collected that had crashed on the Nagrand grassland.
Some of the recovered equipment from the Dar was used to renovate Stormhold.
Since the naaru generously gave this ship to the draenei, according to the tradition of the draenei, this ship can also be called the new "Jinidal". After all, the ship carrying
The colonial ship they set off from Argus and eventually crashed into Draenor has been the Draenei's home for more than 20,000 years.
The Storm Fortress, or the battleship called New Genidal, can currently be regarded as a fortress city blessed with magical space magic. Its internal functions are complete, and with the shouts of Al High Priest Ishana, soon
Professional medical personnel rushed out of the cabin and took the dying Colonel Yura from Ishana's arms.
The high priest, whose robes were stained red with blood, looked worriedly at Yura who was sent to the medical bay. She was worried about whether her brave compatriot who had created miracles could survive.
"I heard you suffered heavy casualties..."
A deep voice sounded behind Ishana. The high priest turned around and saw the exhausted Great Technician Romul. This is the most knowledgeable draenei among the existing draenei on the star technology inherited by the draenei.
Craftsman, he originally lived in Azeroth following the Prophet, but was secretly sent back to Draenor when the Prophet was preparing for his final battle.
Romul looked at the dazzling blood on Ishana's robe, and he asked with some embarrassment:
"Although I know it's not the right time to ask this question, but...have you delivered the things I entrusted to you?"
"Well, 24 boxes have been delivered, filled with thousands of fully charged Apexis Crystal Matrix."
Ishana, the high priest of Aldo, did not hesitate. She said seriously:
"This is all the matrices we have made in the past seven years, all for this moment... Great Technician Romul, I also want to ask you, can you succeed in the void jump engine of the Guinedal?"
How sure is it that it will start?”
This question made Grand Technician Romul somewhat silent. He hesitated several times, then raised his head and looked at Ishana:
"70% sure. After 25,000 years of exile, too many key technologies have been lost. I used a lot of engineering substitutes from the Black Iron Zone to barely restore the recovered void engine to operation, but Azerra
The level of Sri Lanka's engineering is a bit far behind our original technology. If it weren't for the anti-gravity machinery blueprints found in Aldu'ar this time, we might not even be 70% sure of this adventure."
"ah."
The high priest clenched the Holy Light emblem hanging on her chest, and a relieved smile appeared on her no longer young face:
"This is much better than the worst outcome we imagined. So, let's go ahead and do it, great technician. Even if it fails... no one will blame you."
The great technician nodded. He glanced at the medical warehouse that had been activated. He asked with some confusion:
"I heard about you. I heard that you were intercepted by the lizard people, and there was still some distance from the Ogrira ogre defense line. Who rescued you? Where are those heroes?
"
Hearing this question, High Priest Ishana sighed:
"You may not believe it, but the forest spirit suddenly appeared and saved us."
"Lin spirit?"
Romul's eyes widened. This great technician had experienced the 200 years that the Draenei had lived in Draenor. He was well aware of the nature of plant life such as forest elves. He said:
"The forest elves in Gorgrond's Evergreen Glades never care about external affairs. They stick to the Evergreen Glades. In my memory, Shattrath City seems to have nothing to do with the forest elves... Why do they want to save you?
?Could it be that they have a conflict with the lizard people?"
"I don't know."
Ishana shook her head. She recalled the frightening experience a few hours ago. She said in a daze:
"Maybe, those forest elves evoked the aquatic plants in Zangarmarsh, like the twisted tentacles of thousands of vines, howling out from under the mud, burying all the lizardman legions that surrounded us.
In the swamp, I saw with my own eyes a group of forest elf knights driving thorn beasts to break up the encirclement of the lizard people. They seemed to be chasing the lizard people."
"I tried to express my gratitude to their leader, but the forest elves ignored us at all. From beginning to end, they did not say a single word to us... It was as if we did not exist at all."
Ishana's description made Grand Technician Romul feel a little silent. The Grand Technician suddenly felt that maybe the Draenei had lived in this world for 200 years, but they had never really understood the truth behind this world.
A few seconds later, the great technician made a "please" gesture and invited the high priest to go to the bridge of the Guinidal. He walked in front and whispered:
"Obviously, Your Excellency Ishana, the world of Draenor is also quietly undergoing some changes that we don't understand. This originally simple world seems to have become strange overnight. Perhaps, at this moment, leaving Draenor,
Not a bad thing.”
"Great Technician Romul, what you said makes sense."
High Priest Ishana said with worry:
"I'm more worried about Shattrath City than our fate. General Tirasalan and several Naaru are unwilling to evacuate that city, but the Lizardmen's offensive is very terrifying. They refuse to go with us, but their sacrifices
...What can they get in exchange? In this world where the Holy Light is dim, their persistence in justice will kill them."
"You mean Shattered Setting Sun?"
Grand Technician Romul led the way. When he heard the name of General Tirasalan, he stopped suddenly. He remembered some rumors about the Order of the Silver Dawn in the world of Azeroth, but he
He was not sure about the authenticity of those rumors, so he could only say vaguely:
"The Holy Light will protect these true believers. I believe that the fate of the warriors of the Broken Sun will not end in Shattrath City. General Tirasalan is a famous commander among us Draenei. In the past 20,000
Over the past five thousand years, he has proven his strategic wisdom, and he must have had a plan..."
"I hope so."
High Priest Ishana walked onto the bridge of the New Guinidal. The Naaru's spaceship used technology that was more powerful than the high-end technology used in the Argus world. The interior of the spacecraft was filled with various light-flowing objects.
The equipment, above the crystal-forged console, was suspended in the air in the form of a light screen, displaying the conditions of various parts of the spacecraft that had just been urgently reinforced and repaired.
The largest halo projection shows the civilians of Shattrath City who quickly entered the spacecraft from four entrances under the guidance of the Draenei guards, as well as the Sky Guards and the Kureni Cavalry who had fought hard.
The soldiers were placed in the upper cabin with a better environment, while the civilians with low trust were placed in the Gnaku of the spacecraft and were guarded by the mechanical guards on the spacecraft.
At this critical moment, even the commanders of Our Lady knew the importance of order. The bloody heads of dozens of exiles who were fighting, unwilling to leave their hometown, or taking advantage of the chaos to cause trouble were hung on the railing outside the landing gear of the spacecraft.
, as a manifestation of the silent order of the draenei people, and draenei guards armed with firearms patrolled various key positions of the spacecraft. Any creature that approached the controlled area without permission would be killed immediately.
On the other side of the projection, many strong Delaney workers can be seen. Under the command of technicians, they are opening the 24 large boxes that the Aldo priests brought back to the spacecraft, and taking out fully charged E-mails from them.
The Pixis crystal matrix quickly filled the energy plate of the void engine with the 3,600 small matrices in a hexagonal honeycomb pattern.
These Apexis crystal matrices, with compressed energy surging inside, will serve as a temporary energy source for the Storm Fortress spacecraft, providing the barely repaired void engine with the power to tear through the space wall and penetrate the space wormhole between the two worlds.
Power. During the heyday of the Draenei's technology, they had another kind of charging crystal that was more advanced than the Apexis crystal. Unfortunately, during the long period of exile, they had lost the method of making the charging crystal, and of course there was no
Suitable materials.
The energy provided by 3,600 Apexis crystals can only barely start the void engine, and no one knows how long this barely repaired engine can run. They don't yet have a star map from the world of Draenor to the world of Azeroth.
, the result of rushing into the stars so rashly will definitely not be good.
Fortunately, the Draenei in the world of Azeroth, with the help of the guardians of Ulduar, have already set up the phase beacon. The great technician Romul only needs to start the engine, tear open the space, and the remaining
The next work can be automatically pulled by the phase beacon.
In fact, Prophet Velen hopes to use Ulduar's Titan technology to provide coordinate traction and landing services for his colonial ships. Unfortunately, the Titan city of Ulduar has collapsed. Even the mechanical guardian who controls the core technology of Titan
Not even Mimiron could carve out a star port out of a pile of rubble with a pile of scrap metal.
"Test the communication line!"
After Grand Technician Romul saw that the last crystal matrix was filled and the void engine was closed, he picked up the communicator and said in a low voice:
"All departments report the situation!"
"The power cabin is ready!"
"Navigation system ready!"
"A small part of the spacecraft's life support system has failed, but it can barely sustain it until we complete the transition!"
"The weapon system cannot come online. It is too damaged."
"The external suspension system of the spacecraft is being retracted manually, please wait!"
One after another gathered from all parts of this huge ruby-like colonial spacecraft to the bridge. The technicians who followed the great technician Romul were quickly conducting a final test on the overall system of the spacecraft. The atmosphere on the entire bridge was very
It was solemn, no one spoke, and no one wanted to speak.
High Priest Ishana sat in her seat and looked at the scene in front of her. She couldn't help but think of the scene when she followed Velen to escape from the world of Argus. At that time, she was still a young priest who had just graduated from the priest academy.
, in the blink of an eye, twenty-five thousand years have passed...
She, and the entire Draenei civilization, have suffered too many changes, but they still have not been able to find their home among the stars, and they are still walking on the sad road of finding their home.
"What? Are you scared? This is not like you, Ishana. When you first studied with Ms. Askara, you were famously bold."
A voice with a hint of smile sounded behind Priest Ishana. It was a female Draenei wearing Vindicator armor, but there was no fluctuation of holy light on her body, and Ishana recognized her.
"Vihari Vindicator...we haven't seen each other for several years."
"Yes, if calculated accurately, it should be 37 years and 8 months. If counted from the moment Taymor was destroyed, the time should be longer."
Vihari sat carelessly next to Priest Ishana. She looked at the busy bridge in front of her, and a glimmer of light flashed in her narrowed eyes:
"So we'll probably see Velen soon, right?"
To be continued...
