Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 275 The Big Smart Moffett
The matter of the trench is neither big nor small.

Li Lin still knew what the workers were talking about.

The wise Malphite has come to Zaun, which is an event that also happened in the original world line.

The lava behemoth Malphite is the only uncorrupted fragment left after the monolith created by Ixtar Ascendant Horok was eroded by the void and crashed.

It usually inhabits the border between Ixtar and Icacia. It cuts off the "vines" that penetrate the earth's crust and extend to the entire Runeterra, swallow it into its own body, and then crush it.

Occasionally, it goes elsewhere as well.

Some nomadic peoples of the Shurima Sand Sea have its legends, and the Sun Cult of Mount Targon has records of the lava behemoth.

And just like what happened today.

Li Lin quickly went home, put on his battle armor, and flew towards the mine where the brain reported.

In just a few minutes, he landed on the other side of the ditch and unfolded his mask.

With today's environment in Zaun, coupled with the large air filter he equipped and Janna's wind purification, although the air in the trench is still a little dirty, it is already cleaner than the air in the black alley a year ago.

This mine was purchased by Li Lin from Adrian. It was originally used to collect Hex rough stones, which are the necessary materials for the synthesis of Hex energy crystals.

A few days ago, a professional prospector hired by Li Lin suddenly found traces of oil here, and immediately sent him a sound transmission tube to explain the incident.

Now, all the procedures for the acquisition of Adrian Mine have been reported to the Picheng Law Enforcement Office, and everything is fully prepared, and Li Lin also delivered Jin Hai to him.

The mine where oil was discovered is already Li Lin's property.

Under the light of the searchlights outside the mine, dozens of workers with gray faces gathered and sat on the ground in twos and threes, beside them were Hex drills, pneumatic steel drafts, several power armors for carrying heavy objects, and stacks of specialized A hex bomb for mining.

They were discussing something in whispers, and everyone had their own opinion about the "monster" in the mine.

On the other side, dozens of mechanical engineers stood quietly in a corner of the fence.

Li Lin has equipped each of the mines under his name with intelligent robots to relieve the pressure of the miners or deal with some emergencies.

Seeing Li Lin landing in battle armor, the female foreman, whose limbs were transformed into alchemy technology prosthetic bodies, greeted him with a smile.

Her name is Hewlett, she is an Ionian, she is about 40 years old, and she came to Zaun just like Li Lin to escape the war, and it is now the fifth year.

Because of her outstanding ability, she was valued by Baron Adrian three years ago and sent to this mine as the foreman.

Due to the accent problem, Li Lin, the lingua franca of the two cities, was basically incomprehensible to Hewlett, so he simply asked her to speak Ionian to him.

Even so, Li Lin had to concentrate on her weird dialect from the Kashuli Plateau in Zhiyun Province, and even guessed before she could barely translate the general meaning.

"Mr. Li Lin!" Hewlett called out the name of his new boss affectionately, "You are finally here!"

Compared with Adrian, who "eats people without spitting out their bones," and likes to squeeze workers, Li Lin not only gives them the eight-hour work system treatment for the workers in the upper city, but also increases wages and work injury compensation, and even pays overtime pay for overtime work.

This is something that Hewlett never dared to think about before. Including the workers, their enthusiasm for work and their sense of Li Lin and the Gilaman family have been improved by more than one level.

Li Lin silently translated Hewlett's weird dialect into serious and understandable words in his heart, and then asked, "What's going on?"

"Stone, a strange stone, so big!"

Hewlett opened his arms wide and made gestures with Li Lin.

"It wasn't there this afternoon. When the workers finished their meal and were about to work overtime, the mine suddenly trembled. We thought there was going to be a mine disaster, so we ran out under the cover of mechanical engineers.

"But we waited here for more than half an hour, and there was no movement inside. A mechanical engineer went in to find out the situation, saying that the deepest mine vein was blocked by a strange boulder that appeared inexplicably.

"After that, we waited for another half an hour and found a gold tester. She and I followed a few strong workers and went in under the protection of mechanical engineers to check the situation. We found that the stone was still moving!"

The more Hewlett said, not only danced and danced, but the expression on his face became more exaggerated, which is really the acting style of the Oscar statuette.

Li Lin glanced around the faces of the workers staring at him with a smile on their faces, and finally stopped at a woman who was obviously dressed differently from the workers and looked a bit like a technician.

Noticing Li Lin's gaze, Hewlett immediately explained: "Just a hot woman, her name is Shu Lai, she is an excellent gold tester, a stone appraiser..."

As she was speaking, the woman with a refined temperament and a dark complexion walked straight towards Li Lin.

"You must be Mr. Li Lin from Gilamann, right?" Shu Lai smiled lightly and stretched out his right hand, "May the wind of change help you move forward... this sentence should be popular now?"

"May the wind of change help you move forward." Li Lin smiled and unfolded the armor on his right hand, and shook her lightly. "It's in line with the current trend, isn't it?"

Shu Lai is obviously aware of the legend of Li Lin in recent months, "Your wisdom."

She paused for a moment, then immediately returned to the main topic: "As soon as I received the news from Hewlett's foreman, I came as soon as possible."

"I heard from the workers that Shulai is excellent, I think you need a gold tester..." Hewlett added immediately with a weird accent.

"You don't have to doubt my professionalism, Mr. Li Lin, I can guarantee that I have been in every mine from Shurima to Zaun." Shu Lai said, patted his chest.

Although Li Lin knew that it was Malphite who was very smart this time, the workers under him were quite sensible and efficient.

Being able to find a professional stone appraisal expert in time is enough to show Hewlett's work ability and business level.

"You did a great job."

Li Lin first praised Hewlett, and then let the brain control several mechanical engineers to come to him.

"Let's take a look at the situation first."

"Before that, I have to tell you Mr. Li Lin, that big guy seems to have a life of his own, and he can speak... Shurima."

Shu Lai seemed terrified, "I wanted to communicate with it, but its activities at that time affected the entire mine, and we had no choice but to retreat..."

With careful observation and careful thought, she found that Li Lin didn't seem to be very surprised, and she couldn't help but feel a little puzzled in her heart.

But thinking about it, she was relieved.

After all, he is a man who has seen God, how could he be shocked by a strange life form?
Li Lin had a polite smile on his face, "I see, thank you for reminding me."

Then, under the watchful eyes of the miners, Li Lin, Hewlett, and Shulai, followed by five mechanical engineers, went deep into the underground illuminated by the searchlights.

Except for the electric current powered by the Hex battery, the energy flow of Li Lin's battle armor and mechanical engineers and the sound of gears turning, only their echoing footsteps remained in the entire mine.

After a while, there will be the whistling sound of wind blowing through rock cracks in the mine.

But they all knew in their hearts that the lack of ventilation was the most important reason why the air in the trenches was dirty in the past, so the sound could not be the sound of the wind.

Seeing that the atmosphere was too dull, Shu Lai thought about it and decided to speak: "Zuan's underground is usually squeezed and deposited limestone, but that thing... I'm not sure what it is.

"When I came to investigate the situation before, I found that the life body had quartz, salt crystals, granite, etc., and these things are not available in Zaun.

"I wanted the Hewlett foreman to blast through it with a hex, and it talked."

"That's right!" Hewlett echoed. "At that time, it told us not to blow it up, and it almost collapsed the mine pit!"

Li Lin became interested, "Then besides don't blow it up, does that uh... stone say anything else?"

"It seemed to say that something had been eroded... But at that time we were already terrified, and we ran out with your robot on our shoulders."

erosion……

Sure enough, it is still the same as the original world line, has the void of Icacia penetrated into Zaun?

But compared to the original world line, it seems to be a long time ago.

Li Lin couldn't help but sink in his heart, frowning in thought.

Noticing his expression, Hewlett and Shulai kept quiet and didn't speak again, so as not to interrupt his thoughts.

Until they reached the pioneering area at the end of the mine, a stone wall that was obviously of a different color from the surrounding stone walls blocked their way.

This stone wall is about 20 meters high and more than 40 meters wide, directly blocking the mine passage without leaving any gaps.

"That's right, here it is..."

Hiding behind a mechanical engineer, Hewlett pointed tremblingly at the granite boulder dozens of meters away.

Li Lin nodded silently, opened "Data Thinking" and checked the attributes of this "stone".

【Name: Moffett】

[Race: Monolith Fragment]

It really is Malphite...

Li Lin couldn't help sighing, and then stepped forward.

"Mr. Li Lin!" Hewlett was a little flustered, ignoring his fear, and hurriedly caught up with him, "You'd better stay away from that thing..."

Shu Lai also followed up and persuaded: "This stone is too strange, and its danger is unknown. Even if you are wearing a battle armor, you shouldn't take such a risk."

Just when Li Lin was about to tell them that it was okay, an air current that could almost blow people up suddenly blew in front of them, making Hewlett and Shulai unstable and almost fell down.

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a low rumble, an ear-splitting sound echoed in the mine:
"Little man, I'm not called a thing, nor a stone... You can call me Malphite."
