Just when the would-be miners were thinking about their upcoming new equipment, they didn't know that the armor and weapons they had temporarily stored in the warehouse had been cast into these thorium ingots by goblin technicians.

The goblin technicians were in a hurry to smelt Thorium, but these frugal guys would not waste electricity and smelt it twice.

But where can we get large quantities of steel now?

Soon these guys took aim at the weapons and equipment of those soldiers who temporarily became miners.

They quietly took away the equipment stored in the warehouse by the soldiers early in the morning, and directly refined it with Thorium ore into finished Thorium alloy steel.

No normal minerals or equipment can withstand the extreme high temperatures caused by arcs.

In that electric furnace that can be heated to 4,000 degrees Celsius, the thorium ore and the soldiers' weapons and equipment were quickly melted into molten steel, which was then evenly stirred by electromagnetic mixing before being cast.

Although the technology trees of goblins and gnomes are very abnormally developed, they are still quite advanced in many aspects and are no worse than those on Earth, and some are even much better.

Needless to say, arc heating technology is really not a problem for those engineers and technicians. These guys carry electric shock self-defense tools with similar technology.

What engineers and technicians call self-defense tools are not something without technical content like electric batons.

Zhang Weidao once tried their electric shock self-defense tool.

It was a weapon that could shoot an electric arc several meters away. It was simply a lightning arrow with a severely reduced range. It was not what they called a self-defense tool at all.

Even if a professional is shot by their so-called self-defense tool, he will be seriously injured by electrical energy.

It was precisely after seeing this weapon-grade self-defense tool that Zhang Weidao thought of asking them to build an electric furnace that could be used to make steel.

Both gnome and goblin engineering are very good at power conversion and related applications.

They are also good at precision motors, which are also ridiculously powerful. Otherwise, they would not have been able to develop a smooth-moving mechanical exoskeleton.

Mechanical exoskeletons rely on motors and hydraulic systems to provide power output, which places very high demands on motors.

Once these technologies are integrated, it will be a piece of cake to build an electric furnace that can be used to make steel.

Thanks to the ultra-high electromagnetic and rotary motor drive systems and hydraulic power systems, Goblin technicians can produce about three hundred tons of molten steel at a time just by building an emergency electric furnace.

If you compare this level with the United States, the most technologically advanced country on earth, it is already on par with it.

The most powerful electric furnace on earth can barely produce 400 tons of molten steel.

The output that can be achieved at that level has almost reached the limit, and it is very difficult to go further.

But in Azeroth, whether it is refractory materials or metal materials, they are unmatched by Earth.

If the goblin technicians were willing to put more thought into it, it would be easy to build a larger electric furnace. This would be a complete crush on materials science and precision machining.

For these guys who can build mechas by hand, there is nothing they can't think of, nothing they can't do, it's just about the efficiency.

The goblin technicians were so excited in the morning that they took away the weapons and armor of the miners, and they were actually quite panicked.

How embarrassing it would be if this behavior were discovered by the miners!

At that time, they contacted the fertile fields in the west and asked their colleagues to send the core components of the power armor over in a test aircraft, and also brought some steel for emergency use.

The only way to implement Zhang Weidao's plan for the replacement is now. When they get the power armor out, the miners will naturally not say anything.

When the Obsidian Centaur finally ended its routine dormancy, the goblin technicians hurriedly came to them with blueprints, preparing to punch out the main part of the power armor first.

The main shell of the power armor, which is a great challenge to humans and dwarves, is like a toy in front of the huge obsidian centaur. It only needs to be knocked casually with the smallest hammer to complete it.

Many parts that need to be processed on large stamping equipment can be finished with just a few hammers without any effort at all.

The obsidian centaur was processed to a similar level, and then the goblin technicians used their skillful hands to modify the details. The main shell of the power armor was quickly completed piece by piece.

The main defensive parts of the power armor are made of Thorium alloy steel, including chest armor, leg armor, helmet and shoulder pads and other important defensive positions.

The materials used for these parts that do not hinder movement are naturally hard.

At present, the hardest material besides magic steel is Thorium. Although Mithril is also quite strong, it is still slightly inferior.

Some joint movable parts of the arms and legs are made of mithril alloy.

But now they have used up all the steel, and they need to send it from the fertile fields in the west to get enough.

Just relying on the small batch production in the mines here is not enough for them to fill their teeth.

Seeing that steel was really scarce, Zhang Weidao asked the Obsidian Aerial Ship to take a trip to the fertile wilderness in the west.

Obviously, it would be impossible to bring too much steel with those experimental planes.

Anyway, now that he has established a firm foothold in the Cursed Land, he doesn't care whether the target will be exposed or not, and simply lets the aerospace ship take off and fly towards the west.

As the aerospace ship gradually distanced itself from the ground, the bow of the ship quickly adjusted to the west due to the rotation of the exquisite aerospace momentum wheel.

This kind of floating ship, which is like a flying black fish, appears in the sky again and again. It is completely deceiving itself to say that it will not attract the attention of the demons of the Burning Legion.

But what if he attracts the attention of the devil? He is no longer a fool now.

Hundreds of steam tanks and truck guns with powerful firepower can finish them off in minutes with just a few volleys.

And with these eighteen super heavy cavalry, it only takes one charge to wipe out an entire demon army.

Looking at the aerostat flying away at a speed no less than that of a commercial airliner, Zhang Weidao was not very satisfied with the speed, but it was already remarkable that non-chemical propulsion could achieve this level!

Even aircraft with fuel engines driving propellers and the fastest flying large bomber, the Tu-95, can barely reach a speed of just over 800 kilometers per hour.

The fact that the large bypass ratio fan driven by the electric motor can raise the level of electric propulsion to such a high level only shows that Azeroth's electric motor technology is really superb.

Just when Zhang Weidao was looking at the aerospace ship that had turned into small black dots and was thinking about how to transform it in the future, several inconspicuous small dots appeared in the direction of the aerospace ship, approaching quickly.

The sudden appearance of UFOs instantly interrupted his thinking.

Seeing that there was no conflict between the UFOs and the aerospace ships when they met, Zhang Weidao initially ruled out the idea that they were enemies.

Although the goblins had contacted the Fertile Wilderness in the west in the morning, it was impossible to come here in two hours after traveling nearly 3,000 kilometers across four regions!

"What's going on? Did they come so fast?"

The goblin technicians have obviously gotten the news and are also using telescopes to check the situation over there.

These guys naturally know the inside story, and the foreman Suofei is a senior technician who has participated in the design of experimental aircraft.

After hearing Zhang Weidao's question, he quickly explained the doubts to the big boss.

"Master Commander, this is a supersonic test aircraft, far exceeding the Mach 3 you requested."

"Hiss!" Zhang Weidao almost chewed his tongue when he heard Suo Fei's introduction.

"How dare you design an airplane to go straight to Mach 3 speed! Aren't you afraid that overload will crush your small body?"

Suofei heard Zhang Weidao's question and patted his thin chest.

"Don't worry! Our bodies are very strong and we can handle it even if it doubles!"

Looking at the skinny green dwarf, Zhang Weidao suddenly thought of the scene where an accident occurred while testing a bomb. The goblin in protective clothing was blown away more than ten meters, and then got up in a daze.

If an explosion of this magnitude were placed on a human being on Earth, the protective clothing would only ensure that the bomb disposal personnel had a whole body, but it would be impossible to withstand the shock wave.

No wonder no matter whether they are goblins or dwarfs, it is rare to hear of them being killed by experiments. Their resistance to shock waves is too abnormal!

The plane in the distance dragged a long trail of clouds, leaving several white traces in the sky. It flew arrogantly over the cursed land, announcing its arrival to everyone.

The goblin technician who piloted the test aircraft was quite bold and made several maneuvers in the sky from time to time.

When Suo Fei saw this scene below, he was so angry that he yelled: "These bastards, don't you know this is a waste of fuel?"

Zhang Weidao didn't care. He used magic to trim the already flat hilly ground, forming a simple runway with obvious traces.

Unexpectedly, after these test aircraft flew over the runway, they slowly floated down.

Seeing these unusual test machines, Zhang Weidao turned to look at the foreman Suofei.

"Have you installed an anti-gravity engine?"

"Yes, it will be very safe to take off and land this way, and it can save a lot of fuel."

After hearing Suo Fei's introduction, Zhang Weidao intuitively felt that the last item was the key. Saving fuel was the goblin's pursuit. These guys were stingy!

But this is really a good deal.

Although the anti-gravity engine takes up a lot of space, the uncompressed fuel also takes up a lot of space, which can be offset by it.
Chapter completed!
