Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 241 Did you hear its singing?
Most of Piltover's blocks are about as wide as two-way two-way lanes on Earth, and the chariots transformed by Decepticons are enough to drive.

It's just that the evolution day is approaching, and there are many people playing on the street, so Li Lin simply started the plasma engine and drove it in mid-air.

Caitlin sat in the co-pilot seat, and Kai'Sa sat in the back seat, overlooking the entire spacious northern and southern urban areas of the upper city and the southernmost Sun Gate sea gate.

This is the first time for them to truly overlook the entire Piltover, and it is also the first time for them to "fly" in the sky.

Kaisha was very excited, with her small face stuck to the special explosion-proof glass window, she let out an exclamation from time to time.

Kaitlyn was also very excited, but due to her aristocratic cultivation and her own reserve, she didn't make a fuss like Kai'Sa.

It took more than an hour for Li Lin to drive the warrior around Piltover completely, attracting enough attention before returning to Gilaman's mansion.

Of course, all of this is in Li Lin's plan.

Two days ago, Silko sent him a sound transmission tube, saying that the Alchemist Baron Adrian's people dug up new oil in the trench mine and discovered a new oil field, which is what made Renata a lot of money. Raw materials for refineries.

Other alchemy barons with mines surveyed this resource in their own territory, and Baron Voss also discovered this resource, and he sent decent professionals to survey the reserves.

Li Lin had some thoughts about this.

The action against Renata Golask was just after the Evolution Day, and Lilindaishirko submitted various criminal evidence of Renata to the Piltover police, which was taken seriously by Sergeant Grayson.

Especially after learning that Renata has a Decanter weapon that uses a flawed shimmer potion and can even fire missiles.

Grayson plans to invite Li Lin and Caitlin to participate in the arrest of Golask, but he must first apply to his superiors and members of parliament.

After Renata is sent to prison, Li Lin can apply to buy her refinery.

Oil, a strategic resource, cannot be handed over to the alchemy barons, and they don't know the importance of oil, which is likely to cause a lot of waste.

After the oil refinery is established, and then the mines from the Baron of Alchemy are purchased, Shuangcheng will at least get rid of its dependence on Hex in some aspects, and the problem of rocket fuel for carrying satellites in the future will also be solved.

Even, in the war against the void in the future, everyone in the whole world needs to be mobilized, not only the intelligent field mechs and tyrant mechs, but ordinary people can also defend their homes by driving airplanes, tanks and warships.

In addition, Li Lin showed people the form of a warrior's chariot today, and a considerable number of people will definitely be interested in it.

At least in the future, if fuel cars and motorcycles are invented, the number of people who will buy them will increase significantly.

After landing, Kai'Sa obviously couldn't get enough of the feeling of flying in the sky, but it was getting late, and it was already time to rest. She was sensible and didn't say much, and obediently went back to her room.

Li Lin and Caitlin were tender for a while, and wanted to make an appointment with her to go to her room, but he didn't expect a call from Piltover University to interrupt his plan.

"Li Lin, I'm sorry to bother you at this time, but... I'm really in a hurry." It was Victor who spoke on the opposite side, with a very urgent tone.

"Don't worry, speak slowly."

"It's really hard to tell on the phone. If possible, can I invite you to come to the academy?"

Li Lin and Caitlin looked at each other, and then said to Victor on the other end of the phone: "No problem, wait for me in 5 minutes... no, 3 minutes, I will be there soon."

After hanging up the phone, Li Lin smiled awkwardly at Caitlin.

He's been so busy lately that he doesn't have much time for Caitlin, and he's a little afraid that she'll be upset.

But before Li Lin could say anything, his lips were pressed against Caitlin's slender and slightly cold fingers.

"I don't need to say an apology. Evolution Day is coming, so it's important."

She saw through Li Lin's mind at once.

"Victor called you at this point, the matter must be very important, besides, he has helped you before, shouldn't friends help each other?"

Hearing what Caitlin said, Li Lin couldn't help but put his arms around her willow waist, embraced her in his arms, and tapped her pink lips.

"You are so considerate, baby, I will definitely make it up to you when the evolution day is over."

"I'm looking forward to it." Caitlin blinked her left eye at Li Lin playfully, and then changed the topic, "You only have 2 minutes left~~"

……

……

Li Lin put on his battle armor, took three bottles of gene enhancement potions along the way, and arrived at Victor's office at the academy just at the last second.

As soon as he entered the door, Victor, who was wearing goggles and protective clothing, limped over quickly with a cane.

"I'm sorry, I asked you to come at this time..."

"You don't need to be so polite to me, Victor, and with this set of armor, it doesn't take too long to go back and forth."

Li Lin unfolded his armor, put his hand on Victor's shoulder lightly, "What's going on?"

Victor smiled bitterly, "You will find out after taking a look."

After saying that, he led the way in front and took Li Lin out of the office area to the standard small experimental room in the nearby college.

On the energy supply base of the workbench, a device similar to the core of Hex was fixed by the mechanical arm, exuding crystal blue light, and beating a rhythm like a heartbeat.

Li Lin recognized at a glance that the device was made of the original crystal, but something went wrong.

Before he could turn on "Digital Thinking" to check the situation, Victor on the side pointed to it, "Did you hear...it was singing?"

"Huh?!" Li Lin glanced at Victor in surprise, "Singing?"

Hearing what he said, Viktor seemed to be a little disappointed, "Didn't you hear that too?"

"No... wait a minute, did you hear it sing? When did it start?"

It is not uncommon to hear the singing of the original crystal, after all, it is the place where the souls of the shell people of all ages reside.

Li Lin still remembers that in the original world line, Seraphine was not the only one who heard the original crystal singing. Jess had a similar experience when he was researching the original crystal.

It's just that unlike Seraphine's choice to listen carefully, this guy Jace didn't take it seriously at all.

Because he could not extract energy from the crystal, he directly chose to cut off a small piece for research, and discovered the amazing energy contained inside the crystal.

Later, Victor, who was mechanically ascended, snatched the original crystal. Jess used the cut off piece as the energy supply core of the "Hammer of Mercury", went down to the bottom city to fight Victor and his army, and finally had to smash it. crystal.

This is also the beginning of Ike picking up crystal fragments in the main universe and inventing the "Z-drive" time travel device.

Li Lin was not surprised that Victor heard the original crystal singing.

"This afternoon..." Victor hesitated for a moment, "According to the plan, after the core power supply device is finished, I will go to the laboratory to install it on the abandoned robot I picked up in the trench."

He sat on the chair next to him and held his face with his hands, "But just after this project was finished, I heard an inexplicable singing. I felt very strange, so I asked Skye, but she didn't hear anything.

"In the end, I found out that the sound came from this original crystal."

Li Lin was silent for a moment, "Can you describe its singing?"

"It's a language I've never heard before, and I can't express it in detail. I just think it's full of epic and tragic..."

Victor hummed the melody he heard for Li Lin, which was somewhat similar to the one he heard in Naslam, but the tune was quite different.

"Since I heard it sing, I first asked Professor Heimerdinger, but he said that this kind of thing is normal, and I don't need to pay too much attention...

"Afterwards, I went to the library to look through the few materials, and found that it turned out to be something from a race called 'Shellman' in Shurima."

Victor's tone was full of entanglements, "I suspect that this crystal is probably a very important thing for the shell people."

Your guess is right.

Li Lin answered in his heart, and at the same time turned on "digital thinking" to check the status of the device in front of him.

Fortunately, this crystal was not directly dug from a shell-human race, which proves that it has no owner for the time being.

"I seem to have discovered a secret that no one else has discovered. I think...we shouldn't use it anymore."

"Can you change the minds of MPs?"

When asked by Li Lin, Victor was stunned for a moment, "You mean..."

"Now, even Professor Heimerdinger is advocating the use of primordial crystals, although I am more inclined that he does not understand the shell people and primordial crystals.

"The original crystal has greatly promoted the development of Piltover. With our current right to speak, we have no way to sway the minds of the councilors, can we?"

"But..." Victor wanted to refute something, but what Li Lin said was indeed so reasonable.

He fell silent, lost in thought with a tangled expression.

After a while, he pressed, "What if we found an alternative energy source?"

"Oil was first discovered by the Gorask industry, and recently the barons of alchemy have found new oil fields."

"Maybe we can..."

Li Lin shook his head and directly interrupted Victor's words: "But have you ever thought that the energy provided by a primordial crystal is far beyond that of oil. What qualifications do you have to make the councilors give up such a precious resource?"

Victor fell silent again, with a thoughtful look on his face, "I seem to understand what you mean."

Leaning on a cane, he stood up from the chair, walked to the workbench and closed the device, holding the core device that beats at the heart rate in his hand.

"Professor Heimerdinger doesn't understand politics, and has almost no right to speak among members of parliament, but what is most needed to ban the use of the original crystal is the right to speak.

"We must first achieve something that can be achieved, so that the members of parliament will pay enough attention to our opinions... Only in this way can we help that magical race that has existed since ancient times."

Li Lin nodded, with a smile on his face, "That's what I thought when Shurima saw these original crystals."

"Then let's install the core on the machine first..."

"Wait a minute."

Li Lin stopped the eager Victor, and took out 3 bottles of genetic enhancement medicine from the folding groove of the armor.

"You drink this first."
