The navy is a branch of the military that pays great attention to tradition.
Even with the shipbuilding experts from Kul Tiras serving as consultants, it is impossible for Quel'Thalas to reach the forefront of the world in just 2 years with Quel'Thalas' current shipbuilding technology.
Moreover, the growth of the navy is not only a matter of ships, skilled sailors are also very important.
Nowadays, Quel'Thalas' navy is nothing but a useless offshore fleet, and it suffered heavy losses in this naval battle.
Thanks to the mages who accompanied the ship, the casualties caused by the sinking of the ship were minor.
If you want to train an elite navy, powerful ships, experienced sailors and excellent naval generals are all indispensable.
As for admirals, Admiral Jefferson Berryman of the Littoral Fleet is qualified.
As long as a batch of good-quality warships can be purchased from Kul Tiras, Briman can use them to train suitable officers and sailors until Quel'Thalas can produce qualified warships independently.
Some barrages made suggestions, whimsically asking Sarlayan to abandon the "outdated" wooden sail battleship and build a magic-powered steel battleship.
Before Sarlayan could make a decision, another barrage refuted their proposal.
With the current shipbuilding technology in Quel'Thalas, let alone steel battleships, if they can build frigate-level sail battleships, they will be leaping forward.
When our own technology and personnel are insufficient, taking too big a step will inevitably endanger our lives. It is not advisable to go directly to the steel battleship.
The existing magical power in Quel'Thalas can only be applied to arcane golems, and it is not easy to amplify it enough to propel a giant battleship.
For this reason, the barrage also specifically gave a negative example for Sarlayan.
In the different world where the barrage is located, there is a self-proclaimed romantic country that really wants to have its own nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, but they cannot develop a nuclear reactor specifically for aircraft carrier use.
So a "smart" countryman came up with a crooked idea and moved the reactors from two nuclear-powered submarines to the aircraft carrier in parallel, trying to replace the nuclear reactors used on the aircraft carrier.
Then... the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier that this country forcibly built became a tragedy and became the laughing stock of all countries around the world.
Aircraft carriers are the main existing maritime combat force in the different world where Danmaku is located. They are mainly used as platforms for combat aircraft and as maritime command centers.
In order to ensure that aircraft carrier-based aircraft can take off smoothly in calm conditions, modern aircraft carriers require a speed of at least 30 knots.
The maximum speed of this lame aircraft carrier built by a certain country is only 25 knots, and it claims to be 27 knots. It relies on a catapult purchased from another country at a huge cost to barely push its own aircraft into the sky.
Due to its inherent shortcomings, this lame aircraft carrier lies down every two days and spends most of the year in the dock for maintenance.
Using this crooked idea to connect the arcane power core in parallel can indeed allow the warship to sail on the sea without relying on sails.
But what's the cost?
The aircraft carrier named Charles de Gaulle is a clear example.
Without solving key technical difficulties, forcibly connecting multiple arcane cores in parallel will inevitably lead to low ship speed and a high probability of continuous failures.
Under the opposition of a large number of barrage netizens, the magic power steel battleship proposed by some people was rejected.
The road still has to be walked step by step. After a long discussion with Danmaku, Sarlayan decided to absorb the mature experience of Kul Tiras first and let Quel'Thalas' shipbuilding technology slowly improve.
Prior to this, Sarlayan planned to have the National Defense Research Institute invest in research on arcane cores for ships in advance.
Sarlayan did not force the researchers to reach the sky in one step, but directly came up with a powerful power core that could afford the steel battleship, and still used the current mainstream sail battleship as a template.
The iteration of technology must be rigorous enough. If you start running without learning how to walk, the final outcome will inevitably be a hard fall to the ground.
…
Since Sharlayan's injuries have not yet healed, Kael'thas ordered him to return to his territory to recuperate.
In the next few days, Kael'thas will first summon the Kul Tiras ambassador to Silvermoon City to express his wishes to Kul Tiras.
Just as Kael'thas feared, in order to win this battle for maritime supremacy, Kul Tiras invested all its resources and fought a bloody battle with the Zandalar Troll's golden fleet at sea.
In this case, the Kul Tiras ambassador politely rejected Quel'Thalas' proposal to purchase a warship.
But business is nothing more than a bargain.
It is really not efficient to conduct negotiations through ambassadors conveying domestic intentions, and it is not convenient for both parties to have heart-to-heart discussions in detail.
Sarlayan originally planned to take a trip to Dalaran recently to discuss some issues with Antonidas, take a look at the current situation of the little princess Jaina, and catch up with Ronin.
However, the plan could not keep up with the changes. The arrival of Lordaeron's privateers gave Quel'Thalas a sense of urgency regarding the issue of shore defense.
According to Lelessa's speculation, Lordaeron is unlikely to send privateers northward again in the short term.
Their previous success was also to take advantage of the high elves who were unprepared.
Quel'Thalas has now increased its vigilance. The lighthouses in various coastal towns are open 24 hours a day, and there are people monitoring the lighthouses at all times.
Now is definitely not a good time to launch another attack, and Terenas is not stupid enough.
Quel'Thalas must negotiate a deal with Kul Tiras before the next wave of conspiracy in Lordaeron arrives.
As the Sun King, Kael'thas questioned Lordaeron and asked them to explain where this sudden "pirate" came from and why Lordaeron did not issue a warning when the "pirate" entered or exited.
Without actual evidence, such far-flung quarrels are destined to achieve nothing, but it can distract Terenas, leaving him temporarily free and afraid to do anything again.
Thanks to the cement produced in the Earldom of Deep Shadow, the repair project of Yangfan Port was very efficient, and later four towering turrets were built on the coast.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The cannons purchased from Kul Tiras are now installed on the turret.
As a royal planner, Sarlayan asked researchers at the National Defense Research Institute to work overtime to develop firearms and cannons powered by magic power as soon as possible.
According to those researchers, this improvement is not difficult when there are gunpowder weapons as a reference. What is difficult is how to increase the speed of the bullet (shell) when it exits the chamber and further enhance its power.
In this era, breech-loading guns were already used, but the gunpowder and bullets were loaded separately, which was very inconvenient to operate.
Moreover, the bullets used today are still solid balls, which are very different from the conical bullets mentioned in the barrage.
Considering aerodynamic factors, Sarlayan provided some inspiration to the researchers and asked them to try to inject the bullet and arcane energy instead of gunpowder into the inside of the bullet, design the bullet into a streamlined shape, and then install it in the barrel (barrel)
Center-engraved rifling.
Rifling can give the bullet the ability to rotate before it exits the chamber, improving the exit speed and stability.
The efficiency of manually carving rifling is too low, so Salayan proposed a general idea for researchers to solve the problem through automated machines.
It's up to them to figure out exactly what to do.
Sarlayan is not a professional technician, he just puts forward ideas and let the researchers improve his ideas.
After explaining all the miscellaneous things, Sharlayan finally returned to his home territory with the support of Valeera and Stellagosa.
The super spy Onyxia volunteered to go to Lordaeron to investigate intelligence.
Sharlayan's injury made the three women, including Onyxia, very unhappy. They made up their minds to recover the debt from Lordaeron, and Onyxia went to Lordaeron first to make a settlement.
stand.
When she learned that Sarlayan had finally returned to her territory, Vereesa, who had become a little rich woman, immediately came looking for her.
"Oh~ Did you lose the lottery?"
Vereesa leaned against the door and looked at Sarlayan, who was wrapped in many bandages, with a look of surprise in her eyes.
"It's really strange. I didn't expect you to use bandages one day. I thought your self-healing ability was unlimited."
Sarlayan shook his head with a wry smile: "Don't make such sarcastic remarks, at least I can be regarded as injured for the country."
Vereesa rolled her eyes: "Okay, you were injured gloriously... I won't argue with you anymore, I'm here to tell you something serious."
Sarlayan's eyes flashed and he said meaningfully: "Those people can't wait any longer?"
Vereesa shrugged: "You guessed it? They can't find you, and they all come to me to pester you. It's very annoying."
Sarlayan smiled nonchalantly: "It just so happens that I have to cultivate in the territory for a period of time and let them submit their applications. I plan to hold a distinguished meeting in the near future."
Vereesa's eyes lit up: "Do you have a way to make money again? Don't forget about my second sister, at least leave a sip of soup for the Windrunner family."
Feeling the fierce momentum coming from both sides of his body, Sarlayan stood in awe on the spot.
"Don't talk nonsense! What does this have to do with your second sister?"
