Chapter 529 Selling the Technology System to the High Elves
More than 10,000 years ago, the realm of eternity exploded. Kalimdor was blown to pieces.
Darth Mare and other elves couldn't accept Malfurion's funny idea of being a savage willingly, and he was unwilling to give up all the conveniences brought by civilization, so they ran to the other side of the world to start a new one, and there was a noble place - Quill Salas.
In other words, their magic also originated from Sargeras.
Of course, there are the results of their own research, but the basic structure is still with Sargeras.
This means that from a technical point of view, Azeroth's magic system is easily connected with the Burning Legion's technical system.
After that, Sargeras took away Medivh, and while using his body to do bad things, he also used a lot of magic technology, including the establishment of the Dark Portal and the Magic Tower of Karazhan.
The space gate technology that connects planets, there is space folding technology inside Karazhan, and there are also a large number of magic books. &1t;i>&1t;/i>
Lothar and others did not return empty-handed after overthrowing Medivh. Even if it is to close the door of darkness, they must study related technologies, right?
Why was Khadgar later able to close the Dark Portal from the world of Draenor?
That thing is not as simple as losing the image when the power is cut off, otherwise Ner'zhul would not tear up the entire Draenor just because he opened the space door to escape.
Therefore, in today's Dalaran, there are indeed technologies that even the high elves covet.
The Kirin Tor mage Kel'Thuzad studies forbidden spells, which is related to this.
Later, Dalaran was able to become a floating fortress, and it could also carry out space transfer. It ran to Crystalsong Forest and then to the Broken Isles, which was also related to this.
After the arrival of the original historical line, Archimonde said when he destroyed Dalaran: "...you used the knowledge and wisdom you stole to blindly build your own kingdom..." The source of this statement also lies here. &1t;i>&1t;/i>
The Quel'Thalas elves are also without profit. Kael'thas? Sunstrider went to Dalaran just for this knowledge.
During the Second Human-Beast War, as a member of the alliance, they also obtained some technologies from the Burning Legion from the orc warlocks and mages. And these crude technologies have become a good introduction, and they are eager to get more.
Most of the technologies mastered by humans are not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Quel'Thalas elves.
Some techniques mastered by the mages of the Kirin Tor are exceptions.
For example, human mages instilled the so-called essence of power into one person, and a powerful guardian was born.
Even the elves think this technique is commendable.
High-end technology represents powerful strength. It always earns respect.
The elves gave Dalaran considerable respect. One of the seats in the Kirin Tor Council belonged to Quel'Thalas, and now Kael'thas is sitting. &1t;i>&1t;/i>
They thought that, apart from magic, it was impossible for human beings to have technology that they could respect in other fields. As a result, Kane showed up and presented technologies and achievements that made them look different.
The magical civilization represented by Quel'Thalas is not bad in the field of fully automated equipment, but it is only good, not good enough.
Kane proved this with facts. The high-end equipment produced in the Kingdom of Stormgard has stronger exclusive capabilities, higher versatility, and lower maintenance costs.
When Kane sells his products, he attaches a description of his design philosophy.
It roughly means that the tools we produce are not for exhibition or aesthetics, but purely for practicality. We should try our best to buy anything that helps this purpose, and we will buy anything that hinders this purpose. Cut as much as possible.
So...&1t;i>&1t;/i>
Kane first marketed to the elves,
is mining equipment.
The elves said that the appearance was really bad, it was ugly.
Well, that's right, with the picky aesthetics of the elves, those machines are indeed stupid and clumsy.
Can't stand the high quality and low price, high cost performance.
Tests have proved that using this set of mining equipment produced by the Stormgard royal family can increase efficiency by 70%, save labor costs by 40%, and reduce equipment purchase costs by 180%. Such a set costs nearly three times as much as the series of equipment Kane promotes.
This is in the modern world of the original world that is frantically pursuing profits. Kane’s mining machinery colleagues have long lost their money, and either changed careers or jumped off the building.
But in this world, people's awareness of competition is not in place, and various protection policies are also strong. The elves still stubbornly think that their equipment is high-end products, and what Kane sells are street stalls that take the route of small profits but quick turnover. &1t;i>&1t;/i>
Of course, the elves are not stupid, they know very well what kind of impact it will have on the industry and other families engaged in the mining industry once other elves use these devices.
Plus, they knew why Kane was so confident about selling the devices.
The elves are sparsely populated, and the feuding Amani trolls occupying the southeast of Ghostlands have always made the elves choked.
People can give birth, and they are also very good at fighting. If you trade your life with them, the loser is always the elf.
Therefore, the elves need all technologies that can liberate labor.
Well now, the annual steel output can be dozens or even a hundred times what it used to be, and it’s nothing more than buying a few more sets.
Then create a large number of steel puppet soldiers and send them to the battlefield as cannon fodder.
Everyone just played chopping meat sauce and smashing hamsters to see who can change whom. This is the most direct manifestation of the increase in production capacity. &1t;i>&1t;/i>
This also involves another business that Kane promotes. Magic Steel Puppet Legion.
The tribe of the original history line once played the Iron Horde with goblin technology when Garrosh Hellscream was the great chief, allowing all living beings in Azeroth to see the power of iron and fire.
Kane is naturally confident that he can do better than the goblins.
His big plan is to wait until the opening of the Broken Isles (7.o), when there are plane battleships on his side to compete with the battleships of the Burning Legion, instead of letting Dalaran and Blackwind Fortress focus on the front, these fortress-type Although the floating facilities in the air are still qualified as human shields, their mobility is too poor.
Kane felt that if he had his own Azeroth at that time, it would be too embarrassing if he was still dominated by the Burning Legion like the original historical line, grabbed and beaten, and then the underdogs won.
To advance the industry, the market is indispensable. Only with enough orders can the industrial workers make perfect and make up for and improve the details of the product industry. &1t;i>&1t;/i>
Therefore, he spares no effort in sales promotion, and does not hesitate to take the cheap route in order to cultivate the market.
At least it's still cheap now, and when the technology is upgraded in the future, you won't be able to play the trick of losing money and making money.
Quel'Thalas elves are not short of money, because of their extremely long life span and slow pace of life. Looking at it from a human point of view, it is really too late to make a decision.
The same is true when it comes to implementation.
It has been 3 years since the equipment and related technologies were sold to them, and it was put into actual production not long ago.
Just this is still stimulating them with the idea of revenge, otherwise it will drag on for a long time.
Many of the elves' relatives and friends died fighting the Amani trolls, so they were quite excited to think that they could defeat them in the way the Amani trolls were good at in the past, so it seemed much more efficient. &1t;i>&1t;/i>
Facts speak louder than words, and the elves are overwhelmed by technology from the kingdom of Stormgard. They admit that this technology is not high-end, but it is indeed very practical. Especially since it doesn't need to waste magic.
The important thing is said three times, and the elves have emphasized more than once that the most valuable part of these technologies is the extremely low dependence on magic power.
That's right, this is one of the selling points that Kane especially emphasized in his sales.
The elves are not stupid, they know that they are too dependent on magical power. Moreover, the explosion of the Well of Eternity can be said to be a lesson for others. Their Sunwell is very similar to it, and it is the only treasure that cannot be copied.
Once the sunwell goes wrong, the elves will suffer a catastrophe.
To resolve this threat, you need to walk on multiple legs, one of which is throttling.
In order to obtain the technologies promoted by Kane, the elves generously offered some of their treasured knowledge, especially soul healing and spiritual power cultivation, which Kane specifically pointed out. &1t;i>&1t;/i>
The elves don't care about this. In their view, the short lifespan of human beings means that even if they have good enough technology, they will not be able to achieve higher achievements in this area. They are very sure about this.
So the transaction between the two parties was smooth and pleasant. The elves think they are very profitable, and the three acids and two alkalis are great, which is of great help to their alchemy. The steam engine and cement are equally good, and they have used them on a large scale in the front line of the confrontation with the Amani trolls, and the buff effect is remarkable.
It is for this reason that the elves regard Prince Trollbane as their honored guest. When Kane came this time, he was greeted by chariots and horses along the way, and Anasterian personally greeted him outside the palace hall of Silvermoon City. Among humans, only the leader of Dalaran, Archmage Antonidas, has received such courtesy.
Although Kane doesn't care about such pomp, he still pays more attention to the attitude after the pomp. The reception specifications in front of him at least show that he still has some weight in the hearts of the elves. &1t;i>&1t;/i>
After the normal meeting, he offered to visit the elves' workshop.
The elves naturally readily agreed. This is the inventor of a series of technologies, and the elves hope to prove in front of him that after they got the technology, they have made it even better.
The workshop is really great. The exterior is palace-style, gorgeous and unusual, and the interior gives him the feeling of a magic version of an advanced research institute and an experimental automatic factory. It is clean, tidy, highly ordered, and highly automated.
He successively visited the ore screening workshop, smelting workshop, steel rolling workshop, component manufacturing plant, assembly plant and so on.
He found that these war puppets were inevitably beautified by the elves.
But in any case, the overall manufacturing efficiency and cost of these puppets are still under control, and mass production has been achieved.
"It's still not enough." When he finally discussed with the relevant experts, he pointed out the shortcomings of the elves mercilessly. &1t;i>&1t;/i>
"The guts are not big enough, and the hands and feet are stingy. The focus of this system is throughput. Value-added and continuous value-added, 10,000 devices are excavating, 1,000 devices are producing, and assembly line operations. We want to achieve such an effect: when When the Amani troll smashed a hundred puppets, we had produced ten thousand and sent them up to smash them..."
Kane's mouth was invincible, and the elf technicians were dumbfounded.
And Anasterian asked: "Is it possible?"
The person in charge of the elf technicians calculated and nodded: "According to the method of His Royal Highness, at least in theory, it can be done completely, and it can even be done better."
"Then what are you waiting for? Since it was smashed by the Amani troll, why did you spend so much energy on the beauty?"
The technicians were submissive, especially after Kane gave advice on the mechanical structure and tested it in person, the elves also had to admit that the design plan given by Kane, although the appearance of the puppet was a bit ugly, but they wanted to make the puppet look ugly. It is indeed more difficult to smash it.
Kane also gave his own opinions on puppet control and application methods. This aspect is his job, and in terms of rich experience, he does not fear anyone.
The elves also once again admired that the cunning and fierce humans still have some talents in fighting, which can be said to be full of bad water. Control is indeed very important, if it is used by the opponent, it will be too bad.
Kane also gave advice on the control system of the golem battle group.
He said: "This is not slander, or curse, but the prudence and rigor that a higher civilization should have. A certain person can completely control the huge power. Once this person is conquered, the entire group will have to pay a lot. A high price to imagine."
The guide at that time was Lor'themar Theron, who was known for his resourcefulness. Later, he was able to provoke the leader of the blood elves when the blood elves were extremely miserable. What did the light predict?"
