To say it is rising slowly is just the perception of people looking at it from a very far away place.
In fact, supported by high-power rocket engines, the floating islands, which weigh from one thousand to five thousand tons, appear to be flat on the top and cone-shaped below, accelerating towards the sky.
Fortunately, Ai Xing is not under the control of Mr. Newton, otherwise the coffin board might not be able to hold it down.
This take-off weight has far exceeded the upper limit of the existing launch vehicles on Earth.
This kind of unscientific scene also appears in places that do not talk about science but talk about magic.
The emergence of the floating island does not mean that the Alliance has made scientific progress spanning n centuries in the development of high-power rockets, but that McDonald has reused the wasteland left behind by the orcs.
In the Nagrand region of Outland, there are many floating islands suspended in the sky.
First of all, after the big explosion of the planet, there was only a continent hanging in the void in Outland, so it may be lacking in gravity. However, in many places in Outland, when you run on the earth, the gravity is still the same.
After detailed investigation by scientific researchers, the secret of the floating island was discovered.
Those islands suspended in mid-air are actually not stones at all, but wind element crystal stones containing a large amount of [element air].
This is the same as the current home base of Wind Lord Sunderland [Sky Wall].
As long as you master enough wind element crystal stones, you can create a floating island.
It is true that even if McDonald, the boss, wants to tear down Sunderland's lair, Sunderland will still pinch their noses and admit it. In this way, it will be inconvenient to unite all major elements and come to a unified front.
With a wave of his hand, McDonald asked the alliance logistics force to dismantle all the floating islands in Nagrand, explode the giant wind element crystal stone, break it into pieces, transport it through the Dark Portal, and pull it to the mainland of Ai Star.
Then use rivets and other messy things to build floating islands one after another.
Then let the wind element creatures work as workers, and combine the reconstructed floating island with the wind element circulation of Ai Xing, and it can be officially suspended in the air.
As for the engine that drives the floating island, it only plays a role in controlling the height and position.
In the final analysis, the reason for setting up the floating island air defense array is not because it is too miserable to have anti-aircraft artillery on the ground. Most of the anti-aircraft artillery is not convenient to move, and the air defense troops can attack the air, but the devil's air force can come and go, and the aircraft
Full of motivation.
In most cases, anti-aircraft firepower can only be used like the heavy anti-aircraft towers in Northrend.
McDonald knew very well that that thing could withstand the blue dragon's breath, but it was unlikely to be able to withstand the demon's swarm attack.
In the game, the demon's attack is a [chaos attack] that can target all types of armor. Fel energy is so domineering.
Simply relying on piles of armor will only result in the thickest pile of armor and the harshest beatings.
This kind of unfair duel is simply a matter of human life, and there is no way around it.
As a result, the [Skynet System] was established to protect major alliance cities.
At this moment, looking at the Burning Legion warships falling rapidly in the sky, the commanders of the air defense forces from various countries were so nervous that they almost peed.
"Lock the target!"
"Target in range!"
"Fire"
Times have changed. A long time ago, the Alliance artillery had already used the "Doctor's Sight" sight to conduct pre-judged shooting at aerial targets.
This aiming system has very strong limitations of the times.
After killing N'Zoth and getting in touch with the Galactic Order Council, McDonald stopped pretending and directly made magical modifications based on the fire control system on the Draenei space ship.
Well, it's the kind of writing repair, reading as cover-up.
What is used is the automatic artillery aiming system modified by the magic craftsmen of the Galactic Order Council based on Delaney technology.
After the system locks on the Burning Legion's spaceship, it will automatically calculate the shooting elements and input various preloading and movement instructions to the artillery. The artillery can then automatically adjust its shooting direction and angle of operation, and aim and automatically detect the artillery components.
.
Artillerymen who are familiar with the system only need to pull the trigger...
"Boom boom boom boom!"
Deafening continuous roars resounded across the sky!
A small thousand-ton floating island provides the firepower of a large destroyer, and the 10,000-ton floating island is the heavy cruiser version.
Unlike flying battleships, a solid foundation can carry more heavy anti-aircraft guns without much need to consider navigation performance.
So there is the following wonder:
Hundreds of landing ships wanted to be mounted directly on the major cities of the alliance, but without exception, they became the most beautiful fireworks in the sky.
In the air-defense barrage as dense as a violent storm, they were like moths flying to a flame, doomed from the beginning to futility and destruction.
The traditional heavy anti-aircraft gun K40 provides exaggerated physical strikes as always. For the Burning Legion's landing ship, the physical shells are not useless. On the contrary, once they hit, the physical shells put more pressure on the shield.
At the same time, while the Burning Legion has [Magic Cannon], the Alliance has also developed its own elemental artillery.
The first is the extremely sci-fi-looking [positron electromagnetic gun]. Hey, please don’t pay attention to the second-rate name.
The barrel of this thing looks like a rectangular hollow tube. After using a magic array to introduce a large amount of wind elements, and then matching it with half-ton iron ball bullets as an electric energy carrier, it can ensure that enemies within a range of 10,000 meters
Once hit, you can enjoy the ultimate physical and wind element dual attribute strikes.
The second is the [Frost Jet Cannon] that looks like a pea shooter. Relatively speaking, the range of this thing is much shorter. Due to the trouble of gathering energy from the frost element, the content of the frost element on the ice is not high, and it can basically only be guaranteed to be 2,000.
It has certain lethality within a meter range.
More often than not, this thing is used as shotgun for short-range air defense.
Finally, coupled with the conventional 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft cannon loaded with Holy Light shells, a hedgehog-like anti-aircraft floating island was formed.
Facing the medium-sized magic cannon of the Burning Legion landing ship, the floating island's own shield system can withstand it.
What if the landing ship wants to crash into it?
Sorry! I can fly!
A small translation can make a suicide collision of a landing ship in Noda hit the lonely place.
Even if occasionally a Doomsday Guard with good individual strength jumps out of the landing ship and uses maneuverability to fly over and successfully land on the island, it is not the end of the defenders.
Isn’t this?
There was a doomsday guard who just carried the artillery fire and rushed to the island while dodging left and right.
"Ahhhh!" A Bofors cannon gunner pulled the trigger like crazy, and the cannon poured into the Doom Guard's chest at close range like it was free.
It's a pity it's useless.
[We failed to penetrate the opponent's armor] This is a very sad and helpless fact. .
