"This is a newly built cement factory, divided into firing workshop, cement workshop, raw material workshop... I don't know the details, but as long as we have enough raw materials from Un'Goro Crater, we can temporarily produce 2 tons of cement per hour.
"
Is this a large amount?
not much!
The industry standard is that the machine is turned on 20 hours a day, 300 days a year, and there are tens of thousands of tons of cement a year. Among the modern cement plants in the world, at most they are small cement plants at the village level, which are not mainstream at all.
Please note that this is Azeroth that has not yet been industrialized: a world with extremely skewed technological talent, a world where there will be both spaceships and supermen who use cold weapons in the future.
It is not impossible to transport cement from the Eastern Kingdom continent every time. There are too many major problems. Firstly, the cement will be discarded when it gets wet. If it is transported by sea, it must be well protected from moisture; secondly, the alliance must have a presence on the Kalimdor continent.
A foothold, this cannot be in the territory of the night elves. If a highly polluting cement factory is opened in those long-eared territories in the forest, just wait for Tyrande to break the alliance and start a war.
Localization of basic raw materials is imperative!
It just so happens that the Tanaris Desert is uniquely endowed with natural resources.
This is a desert, so don’t talk about pollution.
In this desert, except for the bronze dragons south of Golden Sword Port who live in their lairs and cannot come out, everyone else is considered an enemy.
To the northwest are the trolls of Zul'Farrak, to the west are the wild dinosaurs in Un'Goro Crater, to the south are the wind elemental lords who will cause trouble in future generations, and the wind elemental lord Aoraki, who is known as "Old Trash"
Well, in the middle of the desert are the Gadgetzan goblins who will jump to the Horde side later.
But at this relatively calm time, it becomes very important to plan ahead.
On the other side of Un'Goro Crater, a large number of neutral workers are now stunned by Mai's gold coins, and they are mining volcanic ash. This stuff can be used to make volcanic ash cement.
Due to the advance layout, Jinjiangang has now been built into a large city with three layers of walls facing the desert and two layers facing the sea, 8 kilometers long from north to south and 4 kilometers wide from east to west.
Of course, the facilities inside are far from perfect, the tower has not yet been built, and the artillery is not fully in place.
Only one-third of the open space in the city has been built up, and half of it is still unfinished.
The prototype of a majestic city was formed.
The key is that it can make cement and refine low-grade steel, which can well supplement the military supplies needed by the alliance for cross-sea operations.
Especially McDonald, the king of bunkers, his style of play is the most logistically demanding. People like him will be weak without thousands of tons of cement in the frontline warehouse.
Even though the Alliance is now sending ships to Theramore today and has thousands of tons of supplies stored there, it will not be enough for a real war.
In addition, there is a small steelmaking plant here, as well as several small shipyards specializing in the construction of offshore and river boats.
After inspecting and inspecting, McDonald received the report.
"What? The warehouse in Theramore is full? Jaina is too petty, wouldn't she choose a better place as a port?" McDonald couldn't help complaining.
Fenner chuckled.
To be fair, Fenner would have thought Theramore Port was good if McDonald's hadn't emphasized it himself.
The island of about five square kilometers is naturally surrounded by a thirty-meter-wide waterway as a moat. The water is still seawater, so there is no need to worry about being intercepted. What's even better is that there are fresh water wells on Theramore Island.
Without the support of a super hero like the Duke of Stratholme, Fenner herself might not dare to eat Theramore.
The unanimous choice of King Daelin's two daughters is not worth mentioning here.
Fenna puffed up her chest and said proudly, "Master, I have a lot of warehouses here."
"I know Fenna you are reliable." McDonald said casually, making the female lord blush.
The warehouse in Jinjian Port has hidden compartments, and items on the ground that are not easily destroyed, such as bags of cement, are placed on the floor.
It's so hot in Tanaris, so there's no need to protect yourself from moisture.
Entering the warehouse, there is a diagonal downward passage on the side that is usually covered by a large steel plate. The warehouse with cement walls and floors is the really important warehouse, used to store ammunition such as artillery shells, or diesel for tanks.
This design idea comes from the gas stations of the Earth and Heaven. A qualified gas station will definitely build the oil tank underground. In this way, even if it is destroyed by spies, it will not explode or be burned.
Camp or something.
Since preparations for the Battle of Mount Hyjal, 80% of McDonald's transoceanic cargo ships have been unloading here.
In contrast, Fenna's side has more than 30,000 soldiers, including 25,000 army, 6,000 navy, and several garrison troops.
Their combat power is incomparable to that of the regular army led by Stratholme. After all, most of these guys were idlers and sailors recruited from Kul Tiras. Adding in the refugees, their combat power is estimated to be less than a quarter.
It also depends on who you compare with. If it is an old-fashioned human army, Fenner will be at the duke level in terms of combat power alone.
After a round of inspection, McDonald was very satisfied. In front of everyone, McDonald took out his sword and said: "Kneel down! Your Excellency Fenner Golden Sword."
Fenna was stunned, and then there was unconcealable ecstasy on her face. She quickly knelt down on one knee and lowered her head: "Yes! My lord!"
"I, Duke of Stratholme, Macdonken Stratholme, now accept Fenner's Golden Sword as my arm, and assume the position of the pioneering female countess of the pioneering territory of Tanaris..."
It was obviously a procedural statement, but every time McDonald uttered a word, Fenner's body trembled, and she was so excited that she almost burst into tears on the spot.
As an illegitimate daughter, it is so difficult for her!
If she continues to stay in Kul Tiras, she will be vulnerable to persecution no matter what the treatment. Daelin is still alive, so of course she will be fine. She is afraid that if Daelin dies, persecution will follow.
To put it bluntly, when she first joined McDonald's, she was just a white person.
After McDonald's dragon-tooth sword tapped her left and right shoulders respectively, she became an upright noble.
Don't think of Viscount as a title, don't think that the title with the word "Pioneering" is half a step lower than the normal title, and don't look at the death of so many kings recently. For ordinary people, this is a leap of faith like a leap in the dragon's gate.
It is true self-justification.
Here, McDonald ignored Fenner's excitement and casually pinned a Holy Grail badge on Fenner's left shoulder, patted her butt and left.
"Master, why don't you stay a little longer?"
"No! The alliance is busy with business." McDonald waved his hand gracefully and asked Solanlian, who was accompanying him, to open the portal. He had to run quickly.
Stay here all night?
Who knows if my vassals will be greedy for my body?
Ahem!
The most important thing is that the sand sculpture player informed him that Thrall was found.
World Sha had not heard from Howl Dad for so long that he finally realized something was wrong, so he took two thousand elite Frostwolves and began to follow the traces of the Warsong Clan all the way north.
