World of Warcraft Murloc City Guide - Chapter 329
c329 engineering
Magofin joined Ratchet Town, but this does not mean that Magofin will not be the chief of the Salt Foam Clan. Just like the wise man of the Blackfin Clan joined Ratchet Town, he can still be the chief of the Blackfin Clan.
Yang Yi took these Salt Foam fishmen into Ratchet Town, and then went to the engineering workshop.
Ratchet Town now has two engineering workshops, both of which were built with purchased general architectural drawings.
When choosing reward items before, Yang Yi was interested in the architectural drawings of the engineering workshop in addition to the alchemy room architectural drawings. Unfortunately, the task reward can only be selected from one of the two, so the architectural drawings of the engineering workshop with system special effects were not obtained.
Engineering in Ratchet Town has just started, but there is still potential for development.
First of all, learning engineering does not require a magic professional like alchemy. Secondly, the fishmen are naturally dexterous. Many fishmen have the expertise of dexterous hands and are suitable for working in engineering workshops.
To put it bluntly, fishmen are suitable as workers on factory assembly lines.
Regarding engineering, there are now two tasks in front of us.
One is the production of arms agreed with Lu Xiaoming, and the other is to provide more fireworks cluster launchers promised to the Darkspear trolls.
“To speed up the development of engineering, not only to produce arms, but also fireworks cluster launchers need more engineering technicians to operate.” Yang Yi thought.
Yang Yi first came to Greysu’s engineering workshop. This expert dwarf engineering technician wore engineering goggles and was concentrating on studying the [Structure Diagram: Dr. Vivil’s Special Super Fireworks Cluster Launcher] given to him by Yang Yi.
Yang Yi walked over and asked, “Good morning Greysu, how is the research on the fireworks cluster launcher going?”
Greysu saw Yang Yi coming and quickly put the structure diagram away, and then said excitedly, “Good morning, boss. I have successfully modified all the fireworks shows, and each pattern of fireworks is very perfect.”
“What pattern did you change to?” Yang Yi was curious.
“You will know when the next fireworks show comes. I promise that the boss will like it.” Greysu said with a smile.
As for the new fireworks pattern, Greysu wanted to keep it a secret, so Yang Yi did not ask any more questions.
“I have a new job arrangement here. I need you to make more fireworks cluster launchers.” Yang Yi said.
“Glad to help.” Graysu was very happy to hear that he could know more about fireworks cluster launchers. Making them by hand can deepen his understanding better than simply looking at the structural diagram. “How many fireworks cluster launchers does the boss need to make? The remaining engineering materials in Ratchet Town are not enough to make a fireworks cluster launcher.”
“The more the better. Don’t worry about the materials. I will take care of it.” Yang Yi said.
“Boss, don’t worry. Graysu will do his best to complete the work.” Graysu promised.
“Also, you said before that the fireworks cluster launcher designed by Dr. Vivier has more effects than the current ones. Do you have any way to increase the power of the fireworks cluster launcher? For example, can you directly replace the fireworks with explosives and launch them into the sky?” Yang Yi expressed his thoughts.
The last time Ratchet II used a fireworks cluster launcher to attack the Troll Bat Rider in the Echo Islands Strait, it was a surprise attack. The Troll Bat Rider was hit in this situation, but only a few of them were frightened and lost control and fell into the sea, and most of them escaped.
The power of the fireworks cluster launcher is still too small, and Yang Yi is not satisfied.
“Oh my God, boss.” Graysu made an exaggerated surprised expression, “Replace the fireworks with explosives and launch them. Oh, you are really a genius.”
Yang Yi didn’t know for a moment whether Graysu was praising himself or not.
“Is it not possible?” Yang Yi asked.
“Of course not, Dr. Vivier invented a fireworks cluster launcher, not an explosive launcher.” Graysu shook his head and said, “If you want to increase the power of the fireworks cluster launcher, you can replace the ordinary fireworks cluster with a large fireworks cluster.”
“What is the difference between an ordinary fireworks cluster and a large fireworks cluster?” Yang Yi asked.
“The main material for making an ordinary fireworks cluster is solid gunpowder of level 4, and the main material for making a large fireworks cluster is dense gunpowder of level 5, so the power of a large fireworks cluster is stronger when it explodes.” Graysu explained.
“I understand. The higher the grade of gunpowder used to make the fireworks cluster, the stronger its power is. So if you want to increase the power of the fireworks cluster launcher, you don’t have to replace fireworks with explosives, but use higher grade gunpowder to make fireworks clusters.” Yang Yi said.
“Yes, boss. If you want to increase the power of the fireworks cluster launcher, you can use large fireworks clusters, larger fireworks clusters, super large fireworks clusters…” Gray Su said, counting on his fingers.
Yang Yi understood that based on the rules of this world, the engineering product called fireworks cluster launcher cannot be used to launch explosives.
In fact, the main components of fireworks and explosives are gunpowder, and a large part of the power of the explosion is related to the grade of gunpowder. What Yang Yi wants is the power of the explosion and the lethality. As for whether the name of the thing launched is fireworks or explosives, it doesn’t matter.
“Then use a large fireworks cluster instead.” Yang Yi said.
“Boss, there is no large fireworks cluster in Ratchet Town, and there is no material to make a large fireworks cluster.” Gray Su said with his hands spread out.
“I’ll get the materials.” Yang Yi said.
All things are difficult at the beginning. The engineering of Ratchet Town has just started to develop, and all kinds of materials are in short supply.
Greysu wrote a list of materials and gave it to Yang Yi.
Yang Yi left Greysu’s engineering workshop with the list of materials, and then he came to the goblin engineering workshop.
Greysu’s main job at the moment is to manufacture Dr. Vivier’s fireworks cluster launcher. Yang Yi plans to let two goblin engineering technicians complete engineering products such as manufacturing large fireworks clusters.
The two goblins are currently training fishmen engineering technicians for Ratchet Town. Their main job is to give fishmen an engineering class at Tide College every day, so they are not as busy as Greysu.
It happened that the two goblins were there, so Yang Yi directly explained his purpose.
The two goblins were hired by Ratchet Town. Since Yang Yi, the big boss, had spoken, they naturally had no choice but to refuse.
After that, Yang Yi took out a list and handed it to the two goblins: “Ratchet Town plans to manufacture these engineering products in the future. See if there are any difficulties.”
This list was written by Yang Yi after discussing with Lu Xiaoming. It was the goods that Lu Xiaoming wanted.
Expert goblin engineer Fizx took the list and looked at it: “Musketeers, bullets, explosives, bombs, grenades, mortars…,” Fizx was surprised, “Boss, these are all munitions.”
“No matter what they are, can you make these things?” Yang Yi asked.
“These are all engineering artifacts that are no more than level 6, and they are not particularly difficult. Both Piznik and I can make them. It’s just that the number required on the list is too large, and the materials required are not a small number, and we two engineers alone cannot complete such a large amount.” Fizx said.
“The materials you need will be provided by Ratchet Town. If you need help, you can choose the murlocs in Ratchet Town. If there are not enough murloc engineers in the town, we will train a few more. In short, we can produce as many of the things on the list as we can.” Yang Yi said.
Yang Yi attaches great importance to this matter.
Ratchet Town has sold many goods to the outside world before, but all the goods sold follow a principle, that is, Ratchet Town produces too much of a certain kind of goods and cannot be consumed internally before it is sold.
This was the first time that Ratchet Town took the initiative to produce designated goods at the request of customers, and even trained murloc engineering technicians for this purpose.
“In the future, Ratchet Town should change its thinking and look at what is selling well in the market before producing, otherwise it will produce a lot of goods that are not sold and waste materials.” Yang Yi thought.
The two goblins also wrote a material list and handed it to Yang Yi.
Yang Yi took the two material lists and left. He had to find a way to prepare the materials.
…
At noon, the bulletin board outside the west gate of Ratchet Town was posted by the murlocs.
Several adventurers gathered around and rushed to read the content of the list.
The list was written in the common language, and the content on it was very simple. Ratchet Town wanted to recruit a rider with flying riding skills.
“Ratchet Town wants to recruit flying riders. Do murlocs already have flying mounts?”
“Maybe Ratchet Town wants to establish a flight point? This is a big deal.”
“I haven’t heard that the adventurer has learned flying riding skills. It seems that this matter has nothing to do with us adventurers.”
The adventurers talked about it.
At this time, Yang Yi had already arrived at the animal taming pen in the town.
The picked-up bat mount was locked in a large wooden cage in the animal taming pen.
The big bat was injured, and the murloc hunter in the animal taming pen gave it some medicine and the injury was much better.
[Taming the beast]!
Yang Yi used the hunter’s taming pet skill on the big bat.
In the world of Azeroth, there is a difference between a beast becoming a mount and a hunter’s pet.
As the name suggests, a mount refers to a horse or other beast or mechanical thing for people to ride, mainly for riding.
Hunter pets refer to beasts tamed by hunters, mainly for fighting.
Some hunter pets have enough strength to carry heavy objects, and such pets can also be used as mounts.
For example, the Death Swamp Giant Crocodile that Yang Yi tamed before was large enough and powerful enough, so he could ride on the back of the big crocodile if he wanted.
In general, hunter pets are more obedient and more useful than mounts, so Yang Yi wanted to try to tame the big bat.
Yang Yi tried many times, but all ended in failure. The big bat could not be tamed.
“It seems that it is not so easy to tame this bat mount.” Yang Yi was not surprised.
Coming out of the taming pen, Yang Yi found that it was already dark outside.
“It’s noon, is it going to be a heavy rainstorm?”
Yang Yi looked up at the sky, only to see that the sky was covered with dark clouds and blocked the sun.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky.
Boom!
Thunder roared.
Heavy rain followed.
The climate in the barren land is dry and it rarely rains, but there will always be one or two heavy rainstorms every year, with nearly a year’s rainfall.
The heavy rainstorm did not have much impact on the murlocs. Instead, many murlocs happily ran into the rain and sang and danced.
This sudden heavy rainstorm reminded Yang Yi of something.
“It seems that Chen Nanfeng met the Lion King Xuma in the heavy rain,” Yang Yi thought, “Hey, I seem to have forgotten one thing. Swat seems to be waiting for Xuma on the Thorn Ridge!”
