Ranger King of Azeroth - Chapter 859
Chapter 859 Enterprise!
The Temple of Creation was empty at this time, and workers and technicians of all ethnic groups had returned home one after another, replaced by the giant battleship floating above the temple.
The battleship after completion is 450 meters in length. According to the discussion between Mimiron and Charlemagne, the main hull part is a classic central axis layout design, and multiple auxiliary modules are installed on both sides of the core area.
Considering combat in the atmosphere, the hull is designed to be perfectly streamlined to minimize wind resistance, and a pair of foldable metal auxiliary wings are installed on both sides of the hull.
In terms of armament, there are two sets of rotatable triple 460mm magic guns at the front and rear, and ten launch ports for black-tech guided weapons developed by Mimiron are installed on both sides of the hull.
The entire hull is covered with a total of 16 45mm close-in defense machine guns, and four groups of two-mounted 203mm rapid-fire magic guide secondary guns are installed on the upper and lower sides of the hull.
Finally, it is the big killer that Mimiron spent several years researching. There is a concealed muzzle slightly behind the bow, and a super-powerful magic cannon is built in.
Because the muzzle is rectangular, it is difficult to calculate the caliber. According to Mimiron’s test, once this thing is fired, it can destroy all enemy troops within visual distance.
Charlemagne has read Mimiron’s experimental test report. If the 460mm magic main gun can barely be counted as a beam cannon, then the big killer made by Mimiron is an out-and-out positron The cannon broke the city.
Of course, compared with its super power, the energy consumption is naturally terrifying.
Even if it has been improved by the high elves and Draenei, the current energy supply technology cannot support the continuous firing of this high-power magic cannon.
It takes a long time to recharge after firing a shot, and the muzzle also needs time to cool down, so it can only be used as a final killer at critical times.
Mimiron, who volunteered to be the first generation captain, was sitting triumphantly on the captain’s chair to ask Charlemagne for advice.
“So what name do you plan to give this ship? According to the habits of mortals, ships need to be named, right?”
“Um…”
Charlemagne scratched his head hesitantly, “I have thought of a few alternative names, please help me refer to them.”
“Hubrian, Archangel, Minerva, Aggressive, which one do you think is better?”
Mimiron bluffed and laughed, “The first three names are a mess, they have no meaning at all, what are angels? What are Hyperion and Minerva? I think it’s called Enterprise, which is easy to understand. , the meaning is also good.”
Charlemagne shrugged. Originally, these names belonged to his bad taste. Since Mimiron can’t understand the meme, it’s fine, and there’s nothing wrong with calling it the Enterprise.
Speaking of the name Enterprise, there may be fewer people who know it, but if you change to an inappropriate Chinese translation name, you should immediately understand it—Enterprise.
Originally, the name Enterprise of the U.S. Navy means to move forward bravely, representing an aggressive attitude.
This word is polysemous in the Eagle language. The enterprise number is indeed reasonable from the translation of the note, but I always feel that the word is not expressive. Charlemagne personally prefers the name Enterprise.
The name of the first space battleship in Azeroth is quite appropriate. After all, the first mission of this ship is to leave its home planet to fight on Argus, which is enough to forge ahead…
After accepting the Enterprise, Charlemagne immediately ordered all countries to select suitable CIC members, maintenance squads, crew members, etc.
Mimiron brought Charlemagne back to Ulduar after completing the arrangements. Raiden, Odin and others had been waiting for a long time.
When Charlemagne came to the meeting hall in the main hall of Ulduar, the atmosphere in the whole hall seemed a bit dignified. The faces of Thorim, Freya and others were obviously not good-looking, and they all looked sad.
Before Charlemagne could ask, the talkative Mimiron explained the reason to Balabala.
“Oh…don’t care about their decadent mental state, even my brain was almost overloaded when I heard the news of the fall of the Pantheon. Fortunately, the soul essence of the titans is still there, otherwise a single-celled guy like Thorim would probably be killed immediately. Lost the will to fight.”
“I see.”
Charlemagne nodded knowingly, “It seems that Raiden and Odin have finally told all the guardians the truth.”
Under the guidance of the Great Guardian, Charlemagne sat on a huge stone chair that obviously didn’t fit his height, and Leiden finally started the meeting after seeing all the people present.
“Everyone, the expedition to Argus is imminent, and we finally got good news from Algalon the Observer, but at the same time this is also bad news.”
Charlemagne frowned slightly, “How do you say?”
“We did find the Temple of the Lifegiver, but…almost at the same time, the Burning Legion also discovered its location.”
“Boom!”
Thorim knocked heavily on the table, and said emotionally, “We must set out to rescue Eonar immediately, if she also falls into the hands of Sargeras…”
Odin got up and yelled at Thorim, “Don’t talk stupid!”
“Right now, all races in Azeroth are making final preparations, how can you change the entire timetable based on your own wishes!”
Charlemagne waved his hand and said, “Odin, don’t get excited, Thorim should also calm down.”
“In fact, most of the races are ready, but the spaceship I just named Enterprise has obviously not completed the final run-in.”
“Even if there are veteran drivers from various countries who have been sailing for countless years, it is impossible to be fully familiar with the driving and operating skills of a spaceship in a short period of time. We need at least one month, and at most we can advance the time to 9 Depart in the middle of the month.”
If only cruising in the atmosphere, Quel’Thalas’ experienced air and space battleship crews can quickly replenish them.
However, the size, engine operation mode, and various weapon operations of the Enterprise are quite different from those of the Sun-type space battleship, and no one has tried the way of fighting in the universe.
During this month, Charlemagne mainly wanted to drive the Enterprise outside of Azeroth for practical exercises, so as not to make a group of planet natives seem to be in a hurry after leaving their home planet.
Freya sighed softly, she held Thorim’s shoulder beside her and said, “Don’t be impatient, just like Charlemagne said, if we crash into the base camp of the Burning Legion unprepared, the only end will be Miserable failure.”
“Let’s go after making all the preparations. I believe Eonar should be able to hold on. Titans are not so easy to yield.”
Under the persuasion of Azadas, Tyre and others, the reckless Thorim finally sat down again, but seeing his sullen look, I’m afraid it will be difficult to completely let go of it for the time being.
