Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 170 Radioactive Minerals

Kai'Sa trotted to the corpse of the Tentacle Mantis, and she could feel the tingling sensation of the skin armor biting her skin.

Sensing that there is prey to devour, her living skin has entered a state of excitement.

Kai'Sa first cautiously stretched out her small hand wrapped in the carapace, letting the carapace perceive the place where the corpse was worth absorbing, and then touched the part to be devoured.

With the sound of "hissing", Voidling's chitin carapace was quickly absorbed by her skin armor.

Kai'Sa's eyebrows frowned lightly, and the needle-like pain from her body intensified.

Absorbing evolution is a painful process, which she has long been prepared for.

Beside Kaisha, Kassadin looked at his daughter's slightly painful expression with a sad face, and his heart couldn't help being entangled, wishing that he was the one who suffered the pain of evolution for her.

He opened his mouth, and held back the words of encouragement that came to his lips.

Kai'Sa is already a mature fighter, and he can no longer treat her like the little girl she used to be.

She can handle it on her own...

It takes a while for the living skin to devour the corpse of a tentacle mantis.

During this time, Nasus waited and sat cross-legged in front of the void rift, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

Sivir took out a handkerchief from her satchel and wiped the disgusting ethereal slime on Chalikar.

Taking advantage of this gap, Li Lin first opened the system to check his panel changes this time:
【Name: Li Lin】

【Level: Level 27】

[HP: 2549/2549]

【Mana: 1132/1132】

【Combat power: 32】

[Skill Points: 29]

[Fortune: 6328 blue essence, 1034 orange essence. 】

【…】

After this battle with the void swarm, Li Lin's level has increased by 4 levels in total, and he has obtained a huge amount of skill points, blue essence and orange essence.

Most of the system rewards come from his first kill of different types of ethereals, followed by the existence of elites among them, and the least proportion is the number.

Although the reminder of the [Professional Advancement] module is still unfinished, Li Lin has a vague premonition that he is only one step away from the "Mechanical Heart".

As long as you go through a battle, the scale does not need to be comparable to this battle with Void Spirit, you will definitely be able to advance.

After rescuing Kai'Sa, it's time to set off back to Nashilami.

But before that, they can still pass through Calixa, or inquire about the rumors of the "Void Prophet", and get rid of Malzahar and his pet Abyss Maw Kog'Maw along the way.

Li Lin quickly conceived the next itinerary and plan, and then spent 200 blue essences to buy a portable Hex detector from the [Essence Store].

He has not forgotten the second goal of coming to Song Valley this time.

"Lambo said that he found metal minerals that can be used for nuclear fusion here, but this place has been swallowed up by the void and looks like this. Will there be any leftovers..."

Li Lin was very confused, took the Hex detector, and turned on [Data Thinking], wandering around in the cave.

However, he almost walked around the entire cave, and the values ​​displayed on the instrument were still normal, and no radiation exceeding the standard or incorrect values ​​were detected.

The yordles don't know how to go through walls. Rambo said that he found radioactive minerals here, and took a lot of them, which proves that it must exist somewhere in an empty space that can be directly reached by the body.

Combined with the tendency of the void to energy...

"Maybe, this thing has been swallowed up by the void."

Rao Li Lin had already made psychological preparations, and when he encountered this situation, it was inevitable that a trace of regret would emerge from the bottom of his heart.

With Lambo's controllable nuclear fusion technology, it is a good choice whether it is to further generate electricity in a nuclear power plant, or to manufacture some large-scale mechanical creations with a miniature nuclear reactor as the energy supply core.

But the prerequisite is that there are corresponding materials.

Only outside Bandle City can there be materials that can withstand the high temperature of the nuclear fusion reaction. Not to mention, now there are no radioactive minerals that supply the fusion reaction. It is simply a dream to develop nuclear energy.

Although the controllable nuclear fusion reaction can theoretically extract the corresponding elements from seawater for power generation.

But as far as it is concerned, even Yodel City has not reached such a technology, and the technology of the earth cannot be used as a reference. He has no clue at all.

Li Lin sighed helplessly, returned to the crowd, and was just about to put away the Hex detector, when a long "beep" made him stunned for a moment.

"Um?!"

Li Lin took a deep breath, the excitement in his heart could not be suppressed.

He hurriedly looked at the numerical changes displayed on the instrument, and the blue pointer pointed to the only place he hadn't been to.

Li Lin's gaze turned to the direction where Nasus was sitting quietly, and then focused on the deep ditch opened by the void rift behind him.

"What are you doing?"

After finishing the work at hand, Sivir got up and came to Li Lin's side, looking at a strange mechanical device in his hand.

The eyeball-like eye was covered with dense numbers and Piltover words, which made her lose interest immediately.

"Looking for ore."

"Oh?"

Sivir, who was about to go back to sit, cheered up again.

"Where did the veins come from in this ghostly place? I know a few places, including iron mines, copper mines, silver mines, and even gold mines. My former employer mined some of them there.

"Some of them are from the Piltover family, and some are from Noxus, but after the outbreak of Noxus' attack on Ionia, they never went to mine again."

There was a hint of joy in Sivir's voice, and he came to Li Lin's side and patted him on the shoulder.

"How about it? I can draw a map for you to ensure that you are safe... Or, I can also be your guide and take you there directly."

She paused, then changed the topic a little, "But...hehe, I need to pay more."

I thought you knew that you were of the blood of Azir, and your personality would change. It seems that I was thinking too much...

Li Lin felt a little speechless in his heart.

"No, I'm not interested in those, I'm looking for something else."

He looked down at the data on the Hex probe and walked straight towards Nasus.

"Eh?"

Sivir was very surprised.

Gold, silver, copper, and iron ore are basically resources that all countries must compete for. Why are there still people who are not interested in this?
In addition to these, what other ore is valuable?
With doubts in her mind, she quickly followed Li Lin who had already walked away.

Li Lin walked up to Nasus and greeted him respectfully: "Sorry to bother you, Grand Maester."

Nasus half-opened his eyes that had returned to scarlet, and faintly uttered a word: "What's the matter?"

"I found a radioactive mineral here on my Hex instrument. It should be in this deep ditch. Can I go down and check it?"

Radioactive minerals... what are they?
Under the metal mask, Sivir couldn't help raising her eyebrows.

And Nasus had never heard of this weird word that Li Lin made up by himself, so he asked subconsciously; "...radioactive?"

"To put it simply, it is an ore that radiates energy, which will cause harm to the human body."

"Hmm... There are indeed some stones that scatter energy continuously. I thought they were affected by the void."

Nasus propped himself up with his tomahawk and stood up, making way for Li Lin.

Out of his scholarly qualities, he still wanted to ask clearly: "However, you said that it is obviously harmful to your human body, why is it a mineral?"

"Because the metal elements extracted from it can undergo a kind of fusion reaction, resulting in extremely powerful energy, which I call 'nuclear fusion'."

Li Lin had no intention of hiding this.

The Shurima Empire, with its mastery of magic and its demigod-like ascendants, has little need for nuclear power.

After all, the astral magic they cast can easily reach the energy level produced by nuclear fusion.

Nasus scratched his head. "Nuclear fusion?"

For some reason, an absurd idea that he was behind the times emerged in his mind.

As a god warrior, Nasus could easily see that Li Lin's aura was different from that of Vikola's first meeting, and had become more pure, as if a magician had mastered higher-level magic.

Moreover, there is a mysterious power shrouded in his body, even if his eyes can penetrate the soul of human beings, he can't see where this power comes from.

This mysterious little guy is definitely not as simple as a simple ordinary person.

During the brief silence, various thoughts flashed through Nasus' mind.

Then, he waved his hand in front of Li Lin's face, and the dark blue magic power surged, casting a magic barrier on him.

Before Li Lin could ask anything, Nasus spoke first: "In short, it's still not safe down there. This barrier can protect you, not only in the void, but also from being affected by those radiated energies."

[You have received Nasus' astral magic blessing! 】

Noticing the prompt on the system panel, Li Lin couldn't help but look happy: "Thank you so much, Grand Scholar!"

"No, it's just a small amount of assistance among fellow scholars, it's not worth mentioning."

Nasus gave a rare laugh, "Go down quickly, I can sense that the little girl's devouring evolution has come to an end, and it's time to leave this land of right and wrong as soon as possible."

Li Lin nodded heavily, and took out the rope Kassadin stuffed into his satchel earlier and tied it on his body.

Sivir also helped, fixing the other end in a hard rock crevice.

Then, holding the Hex detector in one hand and pulling the rope in the other, he slowly descended from the side of the deep ditch.

Through [data-based thinking], Li Lin avoided the magic seal of Nasus as much as possible, and finally went down to the bottom of the pit.

As far as the eye can see, potholes of different sizes and shapes are scattered all over the place, and countless hernias drilled out of the rock formations, extending irregularly around in an extremely distorted and weird posture.

A devastated scene, but also shocking...

Li Lin calmed down his mood a little, and untied the rope on his body.

As his thoughts moved, he called out the high-frequency vibrating knife on his right arm, and moved towards the direction with the highest value displayed on the detector.

The scorching blade can easily shred ground hernias that are as hard as metal, and his movements below are not restricted.

However, every time he passed a pothole, the detector would emit a "beep" prompt, which proved that there were still radioactive metal residues in it.

Li Lin couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

This is the energy that does not know how much electricity can be generated and how many mechanical creations can be driven!

However, when he arrived at the position shown by the detector, the depression that had just occurred in his heart disappeared immediately.

Radioactive minerals in the form of earth, powder, block, stalactite, kidney, etc. filled the space where Li Lin was.

There are still a lot of ore, and the void has not completely swallowed it!
