Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 284 The launch vehicle ignites and launches!
Li Lin looked at Heimerdinger in silence for a long time, until he looked away a little guilty, and then he sighed silently from the bottom of his heart.

It wasn't until today that Li Lin discovered that Heimerdinger was actually quite a thug, not as "simple" as he appeared.

Not to mention that Shivana's mother skipped over White Cliff City, but did not harm anyone in the city at all. There are very few people living in the Shimmering Silver Mountain Range, and the giant dragon basically hardly hurt ordinary civilians. .

It just relied on its bloodline perception to find its own daughter...or, to hunt and kill Shivana, a descendant whose bloodline was polluted.

Heimerdinger obviously wants to use Shyvana's mother to let Geboga conduct a real combat.

After all, when fighting against Malphite, Li Lin didn't use his full strength at all. He only used Geboja's fist, rocket missiles and defensive methods, not even the "energy-gathering particle light spear".

Heimerdinger was obviously not very satisfied with this performance test, so he set his sights on the elemental dragon.

It just so happens that besides Targon and Ionia, Ixtar and the remaining elemental dragons in Shurima are extremely malicious and threatening to human beings. It is beneficial to eliminate the dragons by Geboja. One harm.

Moreover, the Gate of Sorrow is an outpost used by Demacia to monitor the movement of the Noxian army in the southern part of the Silver Mountain Range. It is located on the front line of military friction between the two countries, and it is not within the border of Demacia at all.

Even if Geboga suddenly appeared there, Piltover had a reason to say that he had discovered a dragon that threatened humans, so he sent a mechanical giant to wipe it out, and the royal family and nobles in Germany could not say anything.

Although they have their own air unit of the Silver Wing Flying Regiment, the brave and skilled Silver Wing Cavalry in rune plate armor cooperate with the Silver Wing Eagle to kill a giant dragon without any problem at all.

Li Lin was very moved by Heimerdinger's proposal, but the ensuing concerns made him hold back the idea of ​​agreeing immediately.

"But... Didn't the council say that their consent must be obtained for the dispatch of Geboga?"

"Oh ho ho~~ You don't have to worry about this. Even if they have funding for the Geboga project, Geboga belongs to the property of Piltover University, and I will generally arrange its use."

Heimerdinger took a breath, waved his hands and smiled lightly: "As long as we don't bring disasters to the two cities, and use the excuse of exterminating the dragon and eliminating harm for the people, they won't say anything... Uh, At least Senator Gilamann and Senator Mirdarda won't say much."

Li Lin couldn't help but heaved a long sigh.

Feelings, you secretly asked me to drive Geboga to fight the dragon behind the back of the council, so that you can collect battle data?

Seeming to see his doubts, Heimerdinger reached out and patted his calf, "Don't worry about the child, I will take care of anything."

After comprehensive consideration, Li Lin agreed to Heimerdinger's proposal.

Originally, he thought that he could defeat Shivana's mother only by relying on the Source Project Infinity Warframe and his own mechanical troops, and save the Demacia prince Jarvan IV by the way.

But thinking about it carefully, driving the mech to attack and defeat the giant dragon, talking to Jarvan IV and his father III, and saying that this set of mecha was designed by himself, is enough to get their attention.

By the way, it is not impossible to ask Jarvan III to grant him some forbidden magic stones.

Later, Li Lin discussed the plan with Heimerdinger, and decided to send mechanical engineers to investigate the situation first.

The Glittering Silver Mountain Range is too big. The short section from the Sorrow Gate to the Demacia border is almost a thousand kilometers long. Shyvana's mother may be anywhere.

It is impractical to drive Geboga to find a tens of meters long dragon in a radius of thousands of square kilometers.

It is very likely that the dragon has not been found yet, but the fearless vanguard and the Silver Wing Flying Group of Demacia were first attracted...

Since Demacia does not allow official trade, Piltover was unable to build hexgates in Demacia, and could only build them in the nearby White Cliff City.

Li Lin mobilized two hundred mechanical engineers and sent them to White Cliff City through the Hexgate, and then entered the Shimmering Silver Mountains to find Shivana's mother.

As for Jarvan IV, Li Lin knew that he was determined to go there because the Gate of Sorrow was captured by Noxus.

But for now, Noxus' army in Trivel in the southern Shimmer Mountains has not invaded in the direction of Demacia for the time being.

He was going to wait for the young and vigorous prince to fall into the siege of Noxus, and then prepare for the hero to turn the tide.

Although there is some suspicion of taking advantage of Jarvan IV's safety to make friends with Demacia, this is the best way Li Lin can think of to obtain the Forbidden Stone so far, and he can only do so.

……

……

Time passed, half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Midsummer has arrived and Piltover has entered the rainy season.

In the rainy morning, Li Lin got up from the bed and woke Caitlin.

Although it was the weekend, as usual, neither of them had anything important to do.

But today is an important day. The artificial satellite Sky Eye will be launched at night, so it is not the time to stay in bed.

After hastily washing and getting dressed, Li Lin and Caitlin went downstairs one after the other, and had breakfast with Karina, Erro and Kaisha.

After that, the hands of the clock pointed to 07:30, Li Lin put on his battle armor, and the soldiers took them to Piltover Canal, a satellite base in the southern plains.

Both Karina and Erro drank the genetic enhancement potion, and their physical endurance was greatly improved, so Li Lin didn't worry about their motion sickness.

In addition, in the different world of Runeterra, there is no traffic control in the sky. His car flew up at a high speed, and it only took half an hour to land at the satellite base.

It is completely different from the endless grassland when the evolution came to explore the terrain in the future. In the established rocket launch site, the relevant scientific research personnel come and go, handing over tasks and work to the mechanical engineers from time to time.

Important scientists from Piltover University, including Heimerdinger, Jess, and Victor, were already in place, and several other members of parliament and members of the big family also arrived one after another.

Not even Camille was absent from the satellite launch...

Of course, except for Li Lin, her grand-niece Abier and the bodyguards of Ferros's family, including the MPs, no one dared to go to her side.

After exchanging greetings with everyone, Li Lin accompanied Heimerdinger, Jess, and Victor, who had put on protective clothing, to the rocket launch area, and quickly checked the condition of the launch vehicle and artificial satellites to make sure everything was safe.

For the remaining ten hours or so, they stayed in the general command room and continuously calculated the data until the sun finally set and night fell, and the atmosphere at the scene became more intense.

Heimerdinger stood by the French windows, staring at the illuminated rocket outside, with Victor and Skye standing behind him.

The atmosphere in the command room was too oppressive, and his "old bones" couldn't bear it, so he came out to get some air.

After an unknown amount of time, he looked at Victor through the reflection of the glass, and asked without looking back, "What time is it?"

Victor glanced at his watch, "9:55, professor, we should go in."

"Huh—yes, this moment has finally come." Heimerdinger took a deep breath, turned around and walked through the gap between Victor and Skye, "Do you think we can succeed this time?"

Victor and Skye glanced at each other and followed Heimerdinger closely.

"I think we can trust Li Lin."

After taking Skye's words, Victor added: "Yes, this satellite belongs to...uh, a low-Earth orbit satellite, the definition proposed by Li Lin, is about [-] kilometers above the ground, and has not flown away from Runeterra.

"With the auxiliary calculation of the intelligent brain, our data will not be wrong."

"That's right, children, but you know, that's not what I'm worried about." Heimerdinger shook his head.

"God...?" Skye pushed down his glasses and couldn't help muttering.

"The giant gods and protoss, their attitude towards humans is very vague. I don't know if they will allow us to master this technology that can leave our home planet."

After Heimerdinger finished speaking, he walked all the way to the door of the command room before Victor said, "I think we should do what Li Lin said before."

Heimerdinger stood still, and the engineer guard at the door opened the door for the three of them, but he didn't go in.

He glanced back at Victor in surprise.

"We have to try anyway, don't we?" Victor said with a smile on his face.

"Yeah...you have to try."

With a slight sigh of emotion, Heimerdinger nodded, and immediately walked into the command room, and went straight to Li Lin and Jess at the front.

The time is already 9:58, less than 10 minutes away from the 2:[-] scheduled launch.

The palms of all the people present were sweating.

"Are you ready, kid?" Heimerdinger asked, his eyes fixed on the monitor.

Li Lin took a deep breath, nodded heavily, "Ready."

Even though all the preparations are well-prepared, it is almost impossible to make any mistakes.

But in any case, the launch of the launch vehicle, which was once only seen on TV, is now personally presided over the launch of the satellite. It is a lie to say that you are not nervous.

"Don't worry, we will definitely succeed." Jess patted Li Lin on the shoulder, and said a word of encouragement without spoiling the atmosphere.

The time of 1 minute is very fast, and immediately entered the most critical stage.

At this time, the mechanical neutral voice of Zhinao sounded in the entire command room:
[The countdown to rocket launch has entered...]

[10, 9, 8, 7...]

Each number is like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's hearts.

Until the final "1" resounded through the space, the intellectual brain uttered the word that made everyone's breath stagnate:
[The carrier rocket ignites, launch! 】

At the same time, on the large screen, on the screen displayed by the monitoring facilities, the launch vehicle spewed out hot flames that illuminated the night sky, contacted the cooling water below, and raised a large amount of water vapor.

Immediately afterwards, with the earth-shattering roar, the rocket loaded with the artificial exploration satellite Sky Eye rose from the ground and slowly lifted into the sky.
