Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 246 Grand Debut
Time is getting late, dusk is approaching.

The campus of Piltover University became lively, and some people with invitation letters for the Evolution Day Conference arrived at the campus and wandered around the campus.

This year, the security of the college is much stricter than in previous years. Sergeant Grayson personally sits in the town, and also dispatches all the elite law enforcement officers in charged armor and fully armed to carry out patrol tasks in the school.

Li Lin and Caitlin took Kai'Sa to wander around the academy for a while, and happened to meet Colin and Orianna, father and daughter who came to the Evolution Day Conference.

After Li Lin's introduction more than half a year ago, Caitlin and Orianna became good friends, and they often communicate with her in their spare time.

It's just that since Li Lin came back, and the Evolution Day is approaching, the number of people looking for her to handle the case has surged, so Caitlin has no time to go to Orianna again.

Today, after Li Lin's introduction, Orianna became friends with Kaisha again, and chatted with Caitlin about small topics among girls.

On the other hand, Li Lin chatted with Colin about some daily routines, and the hex-flying door device that the major families have been promoting recently.

They went to the auditorium together when the broadcast in the auditorium of the academy sounded, informing that the Evolution Day Conference was about to begin and all guests were invited to enter.

In the stepped hall, the seats of Colin and Orianna are in the middle, and the seats of Li Lin, Caitlin, Kai'Sa, Jess and the congressmen are in the first row.

Before Li Lin and Jess took the stage to give a speech, there were still two or three hours to watch the inventions of other exhibits.

After the host finished his opening speech, he quickly entered the main body.

The first few devices on stage were invented by craftsmen from several small families. They still have their own shortcomings and need to be improved, but they are more practical than some fields, and they have been accepted by everyone.

To Li Lin's surprise, a craftsman from a small family invented the electric bicycle.

It's just that what it uses is not conventional basic electricity, but Hex batteries, so the price is too expensive.

At present, it is only acceptable to the children of nobles in the northern urban area, and its market share and popularity are far inferior to the ordinary bicycle invented by Li Lin.

After a few more insignificant inventions, Jace's "Hammer of Mercury" was displayed on stage, which was an arrangement negotiated by Karina and Mel.

The Hammer of Mercury has been improved by Jess. In addition to the energy cannon of "Electric Shock", it also has the electronic halo force field of "Lightning Field" and the "Super Charge" that accelerates the launch of energy bombs.

This is exactly what he was mainly busy with during the time he returned to Piltover.

As for the "Acceleration Gate" device that can accelerate shells in Jayce's game, which must be used in conjunction with the electric shock to cause tons of damage, Li Lin asked him side-by-side, but he has not considered this aspect yet.

Although Mercury's Hammer will not be mass-produced and will return to the mine where it should function, this modified energy weapon is another milestone of energy weapons after all, and it still has gold content.

For this reason, Jess also went on stage to demonstrate the use of the hammer and the transformation of its shape, which caused the audience to exclaim and applaud.

The following exhibits were contracted by Piltover University, and Professor Heimerdinger personally showed everyone the new energy coastal defense gun he developed for Piltover.

Since the war mason spies from Noxus were captured some time ago, the councilors worried that the newly appointed Noxus commander, Swain, would send troops to invade Piltover regardless, so they wanted to strengthen Piltover's defenses.

This made Li Lin a little surprised, but it was also reasonable.

Heimerdinger does not advocate the development of weapons, but he is devoted to new scientific inventions. As long as he has a novel idea, he can still make weapons, but mass production is not allowed.

Just like the auxiliary chip technology mentioned by Li Lin earlier, Heimerdinger made several mini forts by the way to test their intelligence.

What's more, Heimerdinger understands the madness of Noxus and the inhuman things they have done in Ionia.

When asked by other members of parliament, he agreed without much consideration.

As the Evolution Day conference drew to a close, Karina sent servants to remind Li Lin and Jess to go backstage and get ready.

As soon as they arrived at the backstage preparation area, they saw a huge robot with a height of three to four meters and a copper-yellow body.

Jess glanced at Li Lin in surprise, "Is this your new invention?"

Before Li Lin could reply, Victor got out from behind the robot and responded, "No... To be precise, it's mine."

Today, he is not on crutches, his face is ruddy and his complexion is good, and his body is far from the weak posture at the beginning, and has become extremely strong.

Li Lin knew that he drank the gene enhancement medicine, and his physical condition improved greatly.

Jess was also surprised by this, "You are..."

"Thanks to Li Lin's help." While talking, Victor nodded to Li Lin with a smile.

"Gene enhancement potion, I wanted to give you a try when you came to Gilaman's house, but unfortunately you are too busy." Li Lin looked at Jess and explained.

"Gene...strengthened?"

Jess gasped, looking at Li Lin like he was looking at a monster.

"We have only been back for a few days, and you have produced the flying armor, the tyrant alien, and the tyrant warrior that can transform into a car, and now you have genetically enhanced potions? How did you do it? I don't know I know that you still have research on genes."

"Allocate the time reasonably, it's not that difficult... and the genetic enhancement is just a name, it's essentially similar to the enhanced version of the Shimmer Potion, but the duration is permanent."

"Then you are really a master of time management." Jess folded his arms and sneered, not believing a word of Li Lin's words, "Can you teach me how to do it?"

After Jess and Li Lin said this, Victor's eyes widened again, and a look of astonishment flashed across his face, "You made this all these days?"

Fortunately, my mechanical engineer didn't show it, otherwise, wouldn't your jaw drop...

"Ahem..." Li Lin looked a little embarrassed, and quickly changed the subject: "You should introduce Britz to Jess first."

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, although Jess and Victor felt itchy in their hearts and wanted to know how he did it, they still didn't ask too much.

Afterwards, Victor looked at Jess intently, "This is my new research, an intelligent steam robot, I named him Blitzcrank."

"Smart robot?" Jess looked even more surprised, "Why are you researching this? Didn't Li Lin invent the smart chip? It was developed in the desert..."

"I didn't use a smart chip, I only used a device made of an original crystal." Victor explained.

"How is this possible? Isn't the original crystal just a magic stone that provides energy? It also has this function?" Jess' tone was full of doubts.

"The professor of the college has already certified it, otherwise Britz would not have been able to stand on the booth of the Evolution Day Conference."

"It's just a bunch of pedantic guys. Most of them are inserted by big families, and they don't have any real materials of their own."

Hearing this, Victor seemed a little unhappy.

Jess expressed the same meaning as he paid those people.

But Victor knew that Jess didn't really mean that, it was just that his words were inappropriate.

Besides, he had already gotten used to Jess's straight-forward, non-etiquette character, bickering was just a daily routine for them to talk.

He just sighed and shrugged helplessly, "Is it necessary for me to lie to you? I don't want to quarrel with you at this time, Jess, how about I take it apart for you to have a look?"

As soon as Victor finished speaking, the host outside called out the names of Victor and Britz.

"Okay, Jess, Blitzcrank did only use the original crystals, or the batch we brought back from Shurima, and I was there at the time."

After being told by Li Lin, Jess fell into silence, but those eyes were still full of suspicion.

Why can the original crystal provide computing power for a machine?
"Blitz, are you ready?" Victor ignored Jess, turned around and looked up at the robot in front of him.

Blitz nodded stiffly, made the noise of mechanical metal twisting, and then said in a mechanized and emotionless voice: "You can go at any time."

When they got to the booth, Li Lin and Jess could clearly hear exclamations and discussions from the audience outside.

Victor waved his hand timidly, and everyone in the audience was silent, waiting for his introduction.

Although he was not good at dealing with such a situation where big people gathered, he recalled Skye's exhortation to himself, and only regarded it as a classroom for students to give lectures, and he quickly calmed down.

In the following time, Victor continued to explain the various functions of Blitzcrank and ordered it to demonstrate.

Even Britz showed some ability to learn, which really surprised the audience.

Backstage, Li Lin and Jess stared at Victor behind the curtain.

Jess couldn't bear the doubts in his heart and asked, "Li Lin, this one... eh?"

"Blitz."

"That's right, Britz, what's going on? You handed over the patent of your smart chip to Victor?"

"Why did you think about this?" Li Lin shook his head helplessly, "I didn't make it very clear just now. Is this the influence of the original crystal?"

"But..." Jess scratched his head.

He has never studied the relationship between the original crystal and the shell people, and there is almost no information about it in Piltover, only sporadic records in the academy library.

Li Lin could understand Jess' doubts, and explained in another way: "Victor has studied the history of the original crystal and found that it has a deep relationship with Shurima, a magical race called shellmen. Blitzcrank's intelligence is very It might have something to do with that."

"Shell people... I seem to have heard this name in Belgun."

Jess stroked his bare square chin, "The local Noxian service officer said that a certain Noxian expedition team lost contact in the Crystal Scar, and it seems to be related to the shell people."

It's the Heavenly King of Tota...

Ah no, did Skarner, the crystal pioneer, do it?
There was a light in Li Lin's eyes, and he felt a little more urgent about the original crystal and the shell people's problems.

"Crystal Scar... Our expedition excavation team is not the original crystal excavated there, but Karina is going to send people there next."

Li Lin said in a deep voice, "If it's dangerous there, I suggest giving up mining the original crystal for the time being."

"Well, you're right." Jess nodded in agreement, "But we have to discuss this issue with Mrs. Karina."

While the two were talking, Victor had already demonstrated the functions of Blitzcrank, and won cheers and warm applause from the audience.

When he got off the booth from the other side, the host on the stage read out two more names: "Next, let's invite the two youngest and most outstanding craftsmen from the Gilaman family and the entire Uptown —Jess, Li Lin!"

Jess suddenly felt nervous, "It's our time, Li Lin, have you prepared your speech?"

"Go up and help me delay the time, wait for me a moment." After speaking, Li Lin walked straight to the waiting room.

Jess stared at Li Lin's leaving back for a moment.

When he realized it, Li Lin had already walked away, "Hey! It's already this time, where are you going?"

He was just about to catch up and stop Li Lin, but the host on stage had already come here to urge them to come on stage.

Jess gritted his teeth and bravely walked to the stage by himself.

Feeling the astonished and puzzled eyes of Karina, Erro, Caitlin and even Mel in the audience, his already tense mood felt more restrained, and a trace of cold sweat broke out on his forehead and temples.

This guy Li Lin...isn't usually someone who loses the chain at critical moments?

What the hell is he doing?
Jess walked to the podium in front of the stage, put the speech on the table, tapped the microphone lightly, and cleared his throat: "Ahem, hello, everyone, my name is Jess Tallis, currently under the supervision of Gilaman Sponsored by the En family."

When he started to speak, the audience in the audience began to whisper, as if they were wondering where the "Li Lin" they were most concerned about was in the host's mouth.

Li Lin!

You really did me a bad job!

Jess took a deep breath, suppressed his nervousness, forced a smile on his face, and deliberately did not mention Li Lin's whereabouts.

"This is the first time I have given a speech on such a grand occasion, and I hope everyone will forgive me if I am not thoughtful.

"Many of you may have heard of my name, after all, in the past ten years, I have invented many strange things.

"For example, a wrench that can be turned into a crowbar, a hawk that can be turned into a shovel, and many Hextech prototype tools..."

Jess caught a glimpse of his mother sitting next to Karina and Erro, and seeing her gratified and encouraging expression, his mood was much relieved, and his tone was much calmer.

"I actually come from an ordinary family. My factory is made of hammers. The floor under your feet may be made with my hammer..."

While chatting awkwardly, he urged Li Lin in his heart.

Originally, according to Karina’s arrangement and the proportion of speeches in the speech, this kind of opening remarks and most of the time were spoken by Li Lin. He just used it to “make up the numbers”. He only needs to focus on introducing the principle of the Hex-Flying Gate later. with foreground is enough.

But when Li Lin made such a move, all the plans were disrupted, and Jess didn't know how to proceed.

Fortunately, Li Lin didn't embarrass him for too long.

Just as Jess was staring at his speech, Shang wondered what he was going to say next.

Hearing the sound of "buzzing" energy penetrating the air, a figure in blue-black battle armor and a humanoid mech with a height of six or seven meters flew over the auditorium for a circle, and then fell from the sky and landed steadily in the front on the stand.

"Li Lin?!"

Jess and everyone in the audience were stunned, they didn't expect him to appear on stage in such a grand manner.

The scene was silent for two or three seconds, and Jess was the first to react, a smile appeared on his face immediately, and he said loudly into the microphone:
"Let's invite today's protagonist, Li Lin!"

　Thanks for the reward of 54 Killing Chaoshen!
