Chapter 1847 Elemental Economy (Part 2) (Second Update)

At first, not to mention elemental creatures, not even dwarves could adapt to them. This simply subverted their scientific and technological common sense.

blast furnace? boiler?

Not required!

Water source? Cooling water?

No need!

Having mastered the three elemental realms of water, fire, and wind, Duke's first invention was a brand-new elemental industrial system.

Ironforge itself is a volcano crater, and the flame element consumed by the fire element comes back after flowing around in the lava. You are not afraid of water elements either. There are snow-capped mountains outside Ironforge. You can replenish them in just one walk.

The two tribes of fire demons and Nagas controlled by Duke have become the most important bridge between mortals and elemental creatures.

The wind element, also known as the air element, also plays an important role in the alliance's industrial system.

In the largest wind tunnel laboratory in Ironforge, diesel engines used to pull propellers to provide the wind required for experiments. Now it is directly the air elemental creature that is blowing the wind.

How much wind power the experimenter wants can be determined by just one sentence.

The wind speed can be adjusted at will, and winds from multiple angles are no problem.

Given time, the Alliance's third-generation flying battleship is expected to come out. It will be a hybrid flying battleship that combines traditional diesel propellers with wind element power.

It not only ensures safety, but also takes into account new technology. The key is less energy consumption and better battery life.

Not to mention industry, in agriculture, the addition of elemental creatures has quickly overturned the image of elemental creatures in the eyes of ordinary people.

The Alliance's propaganda goes like this - in the past it was the brutal elemental kings Ragnaros and Al'Akir who controlled them to wreak havoc on the continent. Now that Duke is the king of the elements of water and fire, things are reversed.

In Loch Modan and the wetlands, this was originally the largest food production base for the dwarves.

Because of the collapse of the boulder dam, a large area of ​​the wetland was flooded, and Loch Modan began to run out of water. Under normal circumstances, Loch Modan's grain production would be finished this year.

With the water element it's different.

The high-level water element elite is a mobile medium-sized reservoir.

The dwarves command the naga, and the naga command the water element. One round of operations not only opened up a new water source in Loch Modan (actually diverting groundwater that the dwarves had not discovered or could not process before), but also re-planned the layout of paddy fields in various parts of Loch Modan.

In wetlands, a group of turbid water elements carrying sand and mud often squat in a large puddle. The sand and dirt stay, and the water takes the lead.

No matter how big your puddle is or whether there are dangerous creatures like crocodiles in it, clean them all. It turns into patches of soft mud rich in moisture.

At least tidy it up a little, transport some soil back, and then use bulldozers to flatten it, and it will be a fertile field in no time.

As long as Neltharion is taken care of and the boulder dam is rebuilt with cement, in less than two years, the wetland will become a major food-producing province, a thousand-mile fertile land that only belongs to the dwarves.

Not only the territory of the dwarves, but the entire Alliance territory, from the northernmost Kingdom of Sin'dorei all the way south to Lordaeron, to Stromgard, Alterac, Gilneas, Dalaran, and then to The Kingdom of Stormwind, as well as Kul Tiras, which has begun to build a new royal city in Stranglethorn Vale, are taking advantage of the cataclysm to transform their landforms and re-plan and develop the land in a more scientific way.

Except for the night elves who always adhere to the teachings of nature, all races and kingdoms in the Alliance have taken advantage of this opportunity to transform.

At the throne meeting, someone also asked: "Isn't there Neltharion who hasn't come out yet? What will we do if he attacks?"

Duke said directly: "The reason why the Cataclysm is called a Cataclysm is because it cannot be done by Neltharion or N'Zoth alone to promote this earthquake that affects the whole world. It is the unity of the four elements." A special effect created by the merger of Qi and Azeroth. If the four major elemental realms did not join forces and use their roots to pull the elements around the world to resonate together, then the destruction of the planet would be out of the question."

"What about Neltharion's attack?" Muradin looked a little cautious.

"Our hero group and Dragon Sleep Temple will join forces to attack immediately. Moreover, can a black dragon destroy nearly 10 million square miles of land at the same time?"

When Duke said this, everyone suddenly understood.

Azeroth is very big. What Duke just said was square miles, converted to the method that people in China are used to. The total territory of the alliance is approximately 2,000 to 30 million square kilometers.

This is not bragging.

Elwynn Forest alone stretches 1,300 kilometers from east to west, and is more than 400 kilometers wide at its widest point, with a total area of ​​330,000 square kilometers. Plus Redridge Mountains, Westfall, Duskwood, Deadwind Pass, Swamp of Sorrows, and half of Stranglethorn Vale. The Kingdom of Stormwind now covers an area of ​​more than 2 million square kilometers. The specific number cannot be calculated because no detailed geological survey has been conducted.

The seven human kingdoms, the territory of the Three Hammers dwarves, Gnomeregan, the night elf Darnassus and half of Kalimdor, the blood elves' sin'dorei, the draenei's Bluemyst Island... and Northen... An enclave of virtue.

You must know that Northrend is basically the territory of the Alliance except Dragonblight and Borean Tundra.

Square miles to square kilometers are 1 to 2.58.

Twenty million square kilometers may be too small.

It's a pity that the Alliance now has a population of more than 10 million. Even if you ignore the ice fields, mountains and wastelands, it is still a typical vast land with sparsely populated areas.

The leaders of the Throne Conference have finally figured out that Duke is now a typical example of grasping the big and letting go of the small. As long as the overall situation is won, the losses of small places have nothing to do with the overall situation.

It is foreseeable that there will definitely be losses in places attacked by Neltharion and his Twilight Dragon.

Under the monitoring of the Magic Network all over the world, once the densely populated areas of all alliance member states are attacked, they will definitely respond immediately.

With Duke, the demigod of the magic network who is proficient in teleportation, it is completely possible to attack last and arrive first, making it difficult for the attackers to go around. Or even leave his life behind.

Since the damage caused by the attack to the Alliance was limited, the Alliance just took advantage of the cataclysm forcing residents to migrate to carry out a comprehensive development. As long as the population, productivity and resource development are improved, even if there are a few dead people, the overall situation will still be profitable.

Jaina smiled: "I am convinced by you too. You can turn a world-destroying catastrophe into an opportunity to promote the development of the alliance. Is this... the so-called elemental economy?"

Jaina didn't know that her casual word would spark a frenzy among economists and historians on the topic of "elemental organisms promote the development of science and technology."

While turning his attention slightly back to domestic affairs, Duke did not forget the ongoing war. Through the eredar twins, Duke learned a new piece of information.

"What? You said that when the tribe captured the Twilight Fortress, they didn't encounter the Twilight dragons Valiona, Thenarion, and Sinestra that I mentioned?"
