Captain Jack of Azeroth

Chapter 37 Goblin Engineering
Everyone looked at Jack, who was full of vigor and confidence arose naturally, and felt that they would be able to seize the boat by following Jack.

Rude was very disappointed at this time and asked: "But where can we go?"

Everyone looked at Jack again, and the heroic spirit that Jack had just gathered also faded.

He looked at Rude, "Where can we go now?"

Rude scratched his head. "We can't go to Stormwind City or Booty Bay. It seems we can only go to the north."

Nedro shook his head. "We can't go to the north either. We are pirates now. If we go north, we will definitely be wiped out by other human kingdoms. There is no place for us in the entire Eastern Kingdom. And when the Kul Tiras Navy recovers, we will become their first target of attack."

A pirate gang of just a few people can be easily wiped out and taken down by any warship.

Chong Quan's eyes flickered, "We can't stay in the Eastern Kingdoms anymore, so should we go to Kalimdor?"

"That's right, we are going to Kalimdor!" Jack said firmly, "Compared to the Eastern Kingdoms, Kalimdor is more chaotic. Both Steamwheedle Port and Ratchet City are good places for us to recruit personnel."

Compared to the East Continent, which is restoring order, Kalimdor is much more chaotic. There are goblins seeking huge profits, tauren tired of war, trolls who can't survive, boars who come out to work, and all kinds of strange races. If you are capable, you can even hire harpies.

The most important thing is that in Steamwheedle Port, as long as you don't cause trouble, the Black Wind Pirates cannot attack you in the city.

Nedlo stood up excitedly, "Jack, this decision is correct. As long as we reach Steamsand Port, we can hire a large number of sailors."

Rude asked again: "Even if we seize the ship, we can't sail it to Kalimdor with just a few of us!"

Everyone looked at him as if he were a fool. They had already robbed the boat, so why couldn't they rob the people as well?
Jack looked at Nadlo, "Next, we need to build a small boat. This shouldn't be a difficult task for you, right?"

Nadro jumped up and said, "Of course, leave the shipbuilding to us. We will definitely be able to build the ship within three days."

"Don't worry." Jack waved his hand. "Just build it within ten days. If I'm right, the Black Wind Pirates will target Stormwind City during this period. When all their attention is drawn to Stormwind City, it will be a good time for us to take action."

After the Black Pearl returned to Stormwind City, it was received by Varian, and those merchants were made examples. In the past, the Black Wind Pirates always robbed merchant ships, but this was the first time someone robbed a Black Wind Pirate ship.

However, a few days later, when the Black Pearl went out to sea again, it was discovered by the Black Wind Pirates. The Black Wind Pirates began to retaliate against Stormwind City, and Stormwind City's merchant ships were plundered.

Varian was very angry about this. Stormwind was about to be rebuilt, but this incident happened again. He sent a letter to Kul Tiras, asking the admiral to send naval support, and changed the sea transportation to land transportation. Although land transportation is slow and costly, the current situation is less costly than sea transportation.

As the war continued in the Stormwind Sea, Jack and others established a temporary base near Dagger Ridge in the Western Wilderness and began to prepare to build small boats.

When the lifeboat was first made, Jack worked with Fizmos for half a month. At first, they only had two long swords, and they had to be very careful when cutting wood. Now, they have more than 20 long swords and can use them freely. Nedlo is an engineer, and the remaining goblins have also learned engineering knowledge. Jack is also an engineering beginner. Although Heavy Fist and Rude don't understand engineering, they can still do simple carpentry work, especially Heavy Fist's battle axe, which is the main tool for logging.

Now it seemed that only three trolls were useless. However, they were wounded after all, and the crowd could not force them.

While Jack was whittling the board, he asked Nadro about engineering.

Nedro also knows everything. He has limited talent in engineering, so he changed his career to become a pirate. But even so, he knows more about engineering than most people in this world.

Jack benefited a lot during these days of shipbuilding. He probably had a clear understanding of engineering in this world.

Engineering is not all physical science, there is also magic in it. This is a magical world, and any creature can practice magic, but different talents, different contacts, and different paths chosen will present a variety of professions.

But it is still very easy to learn across professions. Even if you cannot pass the professional assessment, you can still have combat capabilities by becoming a secondary profession such as an engineer.

Manufacturing industries such as engineering have entry-level skills called handcrafting. This is the use of magic to speed up the manufacturing of items, and can even directly manufacture very sophisticated instruments.

The two races that are good at engineering, the dwarves and goblins, both have high IQs. If they learn magic, they will have an advantage over other races.

The dwarf wizards are very powerful. They dare to experiment with the teleportation spell that even the elven wizards dare not try easily.

Because the goblins had never been exposed to magic, they put all their energy into engineering. They invented powerful steam engines, cannons, and logging machines that combined combat and production.

It's just that the goblins have only been around for a short time, and they haven't gotten rid of their rough habits. In addition, they are too eager for profit and are unwilling to strive for perfection. Therefore, the items made by goblin engineering are very powerful, but not reliable.

The goblin cannon has a thick and heavy barrel and is extremely powerful, but it is easy to explode; the goblin explosives are abundant and powerful, but they are easy to misfire; the goblin pacemaker is a rare and sophisticated work that can save lives at critical moments, but its success rate is extremely low.

Nedro also did not break away from the fence of goblin engineering. He quickly made carpenter's tools with his long sword. The production speed was very fast and it worked well when used, but it would break quickly.

Jack had learned the dwarven techniques from Fern and knew how to make things with his bare hands. The tools he made were much more reliable than those made by Nedro. Although they were equally rough, the quality was far better than Nedro's.

With reliable tools, the progress of production was finally accelerated. In order to prevent the boat from leaking halfway, Jack decided to let Nedro take charge, and he, Chongquan and Rude started to make it. A few days later, the boat was built and pushed into the sea for a test, and it could sail.

So, they took food and rowed a small boat to an island in the south of Dagger Ridge Bay. There was a small river on the island, where the pirates often replenished their fresh water.

After reaching the island, everyone hid the boat and hid near the creek, waiting for the Black Wind Pirates to arrive.
