There are 1,204 Leper Gnomes Gnomes Undercity and Silvermoon City. After receiving treatment in Orgrimmar, most of them are ready to work, and they have formed an Electrical Committee at Zul'ra's suggestion. 💙☝ ☆♝

Zul'ra provided the Electrical Committee with sufficient funds, and with the Gnomes working together, the first electric motor, along with the corresponding resistors, wires, batteries, switches, and other accessories, as well as a street lamp, were quickly built up.

A wind turbine generator was erected on a cliff facing east from Orgrimmar, while a simple street lamp was placed in front of the Hall of Glory.

When the sea breeze from the east blows the windmills, a continuous voltage is generated. After nightfall, when the lights are turned on, an eye-catching bright light appears in front of the Hall of Glory.

Through the ever-burning lights in front of the Hall of Glory, Zul'ra explained the idea of electrification to the astonished Thrall, Cairne Bloodhoof, and others.

"A new era is dawning. The Horde is a chariot moving at high speed, and electricity and steam are the two main driving forces of this chariot," Zul'ra said, offering a metaphor.

"Are we moving too fast?" Cairne Bloodhoof asked Zul'ra, who had proposed both institutional and technological innovations, with a touch of melancholy. The ever-burning light was incredibly alluring to these primitive races, but everything was happening far too quickly.

"Quickly, that's right. I've already said it. We are facing a new era. Think about who our enemy is: the Burning Legion. Those demons have destroyed countless worlds. We must have a sense of crisis. We must run step by step, unite all forces that can be united, defend our world, and build our world."

"Building the Horde into a great home is our task, our duty. The Horde Horde to all of us. We must speak up and act. If we don't speak up, who will? If we don't act, who will? This is a glorious cause."

Zul'ra, with his melodious and emphatic words, described the Horde's electrification project as a glorious and sacred mission. Upon hearing this, Cairne Bloodhoof's worries vanished, and the others also grew serious. Vol'jin even shouted the slogan, "Fight for the Horde!" He and Zul'ra had a natural rift, but their love for the Horde was genuine, and he was particularly pleased with Sanra's description of their "great homeland."

"What do you need?" Thrall looked at Cairne Bloodhoof, Hamuul Runetotem, Rehgar Earthfury, and Vol'jin, who had been persuaded, and shouted "For the Horde!" He didn't feel a sense of sacred mission, but rather a little heavy-hearted, because with the constant innovation and the breaking down of the original traditions, Zul'ra was constantly gaining control of the discourse.

In the original system of prime minister and ministers, all ministers should have revolved around the Warchief. However, due to a series of reforms proposed by Zul'ra, the center of the Horde is increasingly falling on him. Zul'ra's strong presence makes the Warchief Thrall feel very burdened and somewhat unsure of how to deal with it.

"I need the support of the Warchief and the full assistance of everyone." Zul'ra looked at the people in front of him and made his request. Although he controlled the operation center of the Horde, he still needed to consult the Warchief and everyone's opinions on some matters.

"For the sake of the Horde's progress, I support you." Thrall cast aside the heaviness in his heart. No matter what, what Zul'ra had done was for the Horde and for the world, and he could find no reason to refuse.

"As it turns out, your insight is the strongest among us, and we are willing to fully assist you in the fight for the Horde," Cairne Bloodhoof stated on behalf of the other ministers.

"That's good. Next, I'd like the bank to provide me with more funds." Zul'ra looked at Vol'jin. Everything requires money, especially electrification and industrialization, which are the most expensive things. The funds he had were already used up in the steel mill, and the remaining amount was invested in the textile mill.

"How much do you need?" Vol'jin blinked. The Horde had minted a total of ten million Lok of currency, which hadn't been fully released into the market yet, leaving a considerable surplus. Even if it wasn't enough, they could just mint more.

"Two million Lok," Zul'ra stated a figure.

"No problem." Vol'jin nodded; the Horde the money in its bank.

"Furthermore, Hamuul Runetotem, I need your help. You must organize the priests and Druid to educate the people about the role of electricity, so they can understand the destiny they bear. In addition, it is essential to enhance the Horde's understanding of knowledge," Zul'ra then made his request to Hamuul Runetotem.

"No problem, everyone is willing to give for the Horde. However, improving everyone's understanding of knowledge is something we need to..." Hamuul Runetotem nodded slightly as he listened to Zul'ra's words, though he didn't quite understand the meaning of Zul'ra's last sentence.

"To provide children with more comprehensive knowledge about gods, elements, and nature, and to systematically teach this knowledge so that they can become the next Horde of priests, Witch Doctor, and Druid in the tribe." Zul'ra meant to start a school, but given her limited energy at the moment, this aspect could only be addressed through the religious system.

"Okay, no problem at all, that's exactly what I'd like to see. However, Vol'jin, I might need some money." Hamuul Runetotem nodded readily, as promoting Shaman and Druid within the Horde was exactly what he wanted to do.

"Okay, no problem. How much do you want?" Vol'jin looked at Hamuul Runetotem reaching out his hand again, unsurprised by the sight.

"I'll calculate it later." Hamuul Runetotem scratched his head.

"Finally, Rehgar Earthfury, you are the new successor to Saurfang." Zul'ra looked at Rehgar Earthfury, the acting Minister of War, because the Mag'har in Outland had made it clear that Saurfang and Drek'Thar had been sent by Thrall to Silvermoon City to contact their homeland in Outland through their portals.

"Is there anything I can do?" Rehgar Earthfury was Orcs from the Old Horde who later wandered to Upper Kalimdor. He was drawn back after Horde rebuilt the Thrall. He was originally a gladiator master, but due to the Horde's new population policy, gladiator slaves were no longer allowed. As a result, he lost his job and became Thrall's apprentice to learn the ways of Shaman. With his unique experience as a gladiator trainer, he was able to become the acting Minister of War.

"We need to strengthen the training of adult Warrior in the Horde. The focus of this training should be on hunters, and even in close combat, we should emphasize teamwork in group battles." Zul'ra made a key requirement, as with the advent of industrialization, traditional weapons and combat modes would be broken, and he was warming up for this.

"Okay, no problem." Rehgar Earthfury didn't Zul'ra's request, but he nodded to indicate that he would do it.

Thanks to ErdouDadios and I am Dazhabi for the donations and for their support.
