Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 231 Our goal is the sea of ​​stars!

The major families of mobile phones, communication base stations, computers and Internet technologies are very interested, especially after seeing Yabus playing minesweeper, the interest is even stronger.

Before Li Lin talked about artificial satellites, each of them sat in front of two computers and played for a long time.

Even Caitlin and Erro got their hands dirty.

Mrs. Karina, out of her majesty as a member of parliament, felt itchy to watch, but she was too embarrassed to play with her own hands.

Of course, Kaitlyn is undoubtedly the one who clears the customs the fastest among many people.

She had already found the pattern through the play of Yabus and other family representatives just now, and it only took two or three minutes to completely clear the level.

This is not her happiest time yet.

Seeing how excited they were playing, Li Lin originally wanted to introduce the "Spider Card" to them.

But when he looked at the time, almost two hours had passed, and before he finished his business, he lost his mind.

At this moment, a maid hurried over and whispered something in Karina's ear.

Immediately, Karina said to everyone in the room: "Everyone, I think I'll be here first today... Councilor Heimerdinger is here."

Turning off the computer, all the representatives were still full of ideas, but they didn't have any complaints.

As an honorary member of Piltover and the principal of the college, Heimerdinger's status is naturally not low.

Even if he has no power at hand, other congressmen will sell him a little bit of face, let alone the representatives of their families.

Yabus also became serious, "Then let's go and see Congressman Heimerdinger first."

A few minutes later, everyone returned to the living room along the corridor.

As soon as he stepped into the side door of the hall, Heimerdinger's sharp voice came first: "Ouhouhou~~ Li Lin! You actually invented the individual flying device!"

Heimerdinger trotted to Li Lin's side with small steps, and stretched out his hand to pat his leg twice with excitement on his face.

Immediately behind Heimerdinger, there were Jess, Victor and Skye, as well as several college professors who were relatively well-known in the entire Uptown.

Von Epp, Kerwin Levik, Baido Valerant...

To Li Lin's surprise, Valentina Zindero was also on the list, and judging from her complexion, she has recovered very well.

Unlike Heimerdinger, who didn't pay much attention to status and etiquette, and was too excited to listen to anything else when science was mentioned.

Jess, Victor, Skye and the other professors first said hello to Karina, then greeted Albus, and then their eyes rested on Li Lin.

"I heard about you, and I wanted to come to you as soon as possible, but other professors who came to me were also very interested in this matter, so they delayed for a while."

"You are too polite, Professor Heimerdinger." Li Lin replied softly with a polite smile.

"Where is your flying device? Can you let us take a look? Or you can just show us it."

"Professor..." Victor behind Heimerdinger hesitated and said, "Everyone should still be busy."

Although Victor has changed from being an assistant to the dean to a lecturer at the college, due to his inconvenient legs and his outstanding contributions, the college rarely assigns him the task of teaching students.

Most of the time, in addition to doing research independently, Victor still stays with Heimerdinger and studies some difficult technologies with him, but he no longer has to do chores like before.

"Oh yes yes, it looks like I was too reckless." Heimerdinger blew on the beard around his mouth, and immediately waved his hands to everyone, "You don't have to pay attention to us, talk about whatever you want... If you don't If it's convenient, we can avoid it for a while."

"No, actually you came just in time, Professor." Li Lin said, "We are going to discuss a technology I mentioned to you before."

"Oh?" Heimerdinger raised his eyebrows, "Is it a computer... a computer?"

"No, we have already discussed matters related to cooperation and investment."

Li Lin invited him to sit on the side sofa, and the others followed closely, and everyone returned to their previous positions.

Erro, whose seat was occupied, stood behind Li Lin and Karina, shoulder to shoulder with Caitlin.

"It's another... an achievement that belongs to all humans in Runeterra."

"Cough, cough, cough..." Albus, who was drinking tea to moisten his throat, almost spit out.

He poked his ear, thinking he had heard wrong.

Of the technology Li Lin mentioned before, the only thing left is artificial satellites.

Albus thought he was joking.

Astronomers at the academy have long proposed the concept of satellites, and the moon is the satellite of Runeterra.

But this young guy proposes to build an artificial satellite like the moon? !

Isn't this whimsical?
Yabus clearly misunderstood something.

Caitlin, Jess, Victor, Skye, and the Gilamans didn't react much, they had all heard Li Lin mention this before.

Several professors from the college looked in disbelief, wondering what Li Lin was referring to.

The other family representatives looked at each other face to face, with a look of astonishment, but also a little numbness.

After all, Li Lin will go to the sky, and he can even develop things like computers, what else can't he do?
"You mean Sputnik?"

Heimerdinger stroked his beard, remained silent for a few seconds, and continued: "I thought...you were joking."

Li Lin didn't expect that Heimerdinger didn't take his thoughts seriously at all, and said in a deep voice, "How is it possible? I even showed you the blueprints, and I asked you to help attract investment."

Heimerdinger seemed a little hesitant, "I've seen the blueprint, and it's theoretically possible, but..."

"Professor, what do you mean by artificial satellite? Could it be that you want to build a mechanical moon? This is too ridiculous."

The one who spoke was Kerwin Levik, who was hailed as the "King of Invention" by Piltover, and his former apprentice Baido Vailant stood beside him.

Yabus agreed with Kerwin's words very much, and nodded while twisting the end of his beard, his face almost tangled together.

"Of course it's not about making the moon, it's just about building an unmanned spacecraft that can be launched into outer space by rocket and then orbit Runeterra." Li Lin shook his head and explained.

"Then... what use is this device for us?" A middle-aged man with a bald head and gold-rimmed eyes asked doubtfully.

He is Professor von Epp.

"Artificial satellites have multiple purposes. Not only can they be used as scientific satellites to assist us in the study of physical experiments such as the atmosphere and astronomy, but they can also be used as communication relay stations, or to explore the resources of Runeterra, and can even be used to explore outer space. It's what we call the 'Outer Worlds'."

After listening to Li Lin's description, several professors fell into deep thought.

On the other side, Yabus and other family representatives frowned deeply.

They think this kind of stuff is completely impractical.

Even if it is possible to launch an artificial satellite into the sky, the value it brings is definitely far less than the funds invested in it.

At least for them.

Li Lin understands their capital thinking, so it is impossible to persuade them by himself, so he can only rely on Heimerdinger.

But Heimerdinger's next words undoubtedly poured cold water on him: "My child, have you ever thought about the problem of those giant gods and protoss in the sky?"

Li Lin was stunned for a moment, and then his heart trembled.

He really didn't pay much attention to this aspect of the problem.

Runeterra is a planet that the giant gods and protoss value. No matter what their purpose is, they will most likely not allow human development to exceed their control.

I'm afraid that the artificial satellite will not even be able to get out of Runeterra, or it will be destroyed by a protoss like an ant...

"Runeterra is a place favored by the gods...well, 'favored' might not be the right word to use, but it doesn't matter."

"Giant God? Protoss? Isn't that the legend of Targon?" Kewold said in a disdainful tone, "Whether those gods exist or not is a question..."

"This is ignorant talk!" Heimerdinger glared at her with a rare serious tone.

"Bandle City began to look up at the starry sky thousands of years ago, and it's not like there are no yordles who have climbed Mount Targon... Besides, what we see in the spiritual realm is very different from the physical realm. Our research on the heavens far surpasses yours. Humanity!

"The giant gods and protoss were born in the heavens at the beginning of time, and the constellations that you believe in are themselves... the war constellations, the twilight constellations, the scorching sun constellations and the bright moon constellations, etc., are the most familiar to people and the most believed in by people. gods.

"And like other races, such as our yordles, some non-human races of Targon, the branches of vastaya, or tauren races, they believe in the weasel, the dog or the rhinoceros.

"However, in my personal opinion, these constellations are very different from the giant gods and protoss, and I prefer to call them 'starry sky behemoths'..."

Heimerdinger's voice faded away, and the room fell into silence.

Li Lin was shocked that Heimerdinger could understand so many secrets of the heavens, even the giant god and star spirit himself and the starry sky behemoth.

Others are astonished at the fact that there are "celestial gods" more powerful than demigods in this world, and doubt whether they really exist.

"So... child, are you sure you want to launch an artificial satellite?" Heimerdinger's eyes flashed a look of solemnity, "You don't even hesitate to offend the giant god Protoss?"

Li Lin was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head, "No, I don't think this will offend them."

He raised his head and looked at the surprised Heimerdinger, "They value Runeterra very much, and we are far more valued by them than we thought.

"Otherwise, why would they teach the Shurima people thousands of years ago how to build a sun disc and ascend to become a demigod, so that human civilization can prosper? How could they choose human hosts, give them power, or use them to descend Mortal?

"The technology of artificial gods is far beyond what we can launch artificial satellites."

"This..." Heimerdinger was speechless, he didn't think about it at all.

Seeing that Heimerdinger was wavering, Li Lin immediately pursued the victory: "Besides, if you don't try, how will you know whether they agree or not?"

"what do you mean……"

"Let's launch a satellite first. If the Protoss destroys it, we will know their attitude, and we will stop developing into the sky in the future."

The more Li Lin talked, the more excited he became, "But if they don't destroy the satellites, we can vigorously develop aerospace technology. At that time, not only artificial satellites... a space station that can be used for human habitation, but also exploring other planets other than Runeterra will not be a problem!"

Li Lin got up from the sofa, looked around impassionedly, and had a panoramic view of everyone's faces.

"Everyone, it's only limited to one planet. Is it really what you want to be a native of the planet? There are still a large area outside the sky that we don't know for us to explore. Even if our generation can't wait, we still have descendants, our descendants And future generations, we can definitely lay the groundwork for them!

"Our goal should be the sea of ​​stars beyond the world!"

Speaking of this, everyone present, including Caitlin, Jess and others who knew Li Lin's artificial satellite theory, were dumbfounded.

His bold ideas are truly beyond their current understanding of the world.

It's just that their views on Li Lin are limited to the surface, and Li Lin thinks much more than they do.

Explore outer space?
Thinking too far, Li Lin just took it out to draw a big cake.

His main purpose is not this.

Void.

Another plane of the universe, another latitude.

The watcher in the void has awakened, facing Runeterra, this planet with many overlapping planes, salivating.

This place is special enough to be the gateway to their full-scale invasion of the material universe.

If you don't have the power beyond the planet, you want to deal with the Void Monitor...

After giving everyone a buffer time, Li Lin looked at Heimerdinger with a solemn expression: "Professor, I think we have to try."

　Thanks to the star blind man for the reward
