Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 72 Mrs. Golask
Under Huck's guidance, Li Lin visited several coasts on the upper layer of the trench, many of which had already been built as harbors for transporting raw ore.

Eventually, he found a suitable site for a tidal hydropower station on the coastline northeast of the trench.

In addition to looking for these, Li Lin also had an unexpected harvest-an oil refinery suspected to be being built by a certain alchemy baron.

This discovery made Li Lin quite excited, because it could prove that there is such a resource as oil in Runeterra!

On the earth, oil and gas can be described as high-quality energy and chemical materials.

The same is true for another world.

Piltover's hextech is almost inseparable from expensive hextech crystals.

Even if it has been improved by Li Lin into a stable and powerful Hex energy crystal, its price will not decrease.

And most importantly, if you want to develop Hex Technology, you must cooperate with the Philos family.

As a result, the means of production in Piltover were monopolized by the big family at the top, and the productivity was greatly restricted.

But with oil resources, combined with electricity, it is enough to trigger changes in power, production methods, transportation, etc. in the two cities.

If ordinary people have the minds of entrepreneurial development, even if they are not excellent technicians, they can still make a fortune and promote the development of productivity.

In other words, bringing the technology of Piltover and Zaun up to the modern level of Earth is not a problem at all.

It's just that the corrupt upper-class families who control Piltover's economic lifeline are obstacles...

There is no rush for this kind of thing, you can only do it slowly.

"By the way, Huck, do you know which alchemy baron funded this new factory?"

More than 100 meters away from the gate of the oil refinery under construction, Li Lin, who recovered from his contemplation, asked Huck beside him.

"This...hehehe, although I'm from the trenches, I'm not very clear about the division of power of the alchemy barons here, hehe."

Huck looked embarrassed, "This kind of thing, hehe, you have to ask Vander..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked like he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly added: "But I heard from the residents here, hey, there is a Mrs. Golask who provides them with jobs."

They are even willing to provide jobs for the poor in the trench...

Does Zaan have a "philanthropist" who is so kind?

Or does she have another purpose?

Li Lin frowned slightly, "Is Mrs. Golask the Alchemy Baron?"

Huck shook his head.

He only knows this name, as for other aspects, it is beyond the scope of his knowledge.

Forget it, let's ask Vander.

Li Linmo sighed.

Even if he didn't know about this "Mrs. Golask", there must be someone under his command who knew.

If a deal can be made with this Mrs. Gorask...

No, no.

Such strategic resources still have to be in their own hands.

People in this world don't know the importance of oil resources.

When the new technology develops in the future, more and more people realize its importance, and they will definitely want to participate in it to get a share.

If you don't have the right to speak on this kind of resources, your future development will definitely be frustrated everywhere.

Li Lin's heart sank.

Even in the future, the situation is still not optimistic...

He withdrew his gaze from looking at the oil refinery, and said to Huck beside him, "Let's go back."

……

……

After taking the elevator back to the middle square, Li Lin gave Huck 1 gold sea as his guide fee without giving Huck a chance to shirk.

Afterwards, he went to Fulgan's Tavern to fulfill the agreement with Bobo, and asked Vander about Mrs. Golask by the way.

Li Lin learned from Vander that the full name of Mrs. Gorask is Renata Gorask, and she is an entrepreneur who has risen suddenly in recent years.

The information he knew was limited, and the rest was added by Sevica, who happened to be drinking at Fulgen's Tavern at the time.

The Gerasker family is a family business that started with alchemy technology, mainly relying on the research and development of alchemy technology medicines to treat patients.

Sevika was also rescued by the Galasks for free when she was a child, so she was very impressed with them.

At that time, the Galaskes helped any patients with difficulties, and were called philanthropists, angels, and gods of medicine by the people of the bottom city...

However, all this disappeared with a fire 20 years ago.

The Gorask couple died in the sea of ​​fire along with their research results, leaving only their only daughter, Renata, who also lost an arm due to the fire.

According to the rumors of the people of the bottom city later, the fire at the Gorask house was secretly started in the middle of the night by law enforcement officers disguised as Zaunites.

It's just because the superb medical treatment methods of the Galasks have touched the interests of the big families who monopolize the medical industry in Uptown.

Later, Renata established a cooperative relationship with several alchemy barons by means of dishonorable means, and has since re-established her fortune.

With her excellent economic acumen, she acquired the first factory in just a few years, and eventually developed it into dozens of chains of Golask Industries, mainly producing high-end chemicals.

In addition, Renata also expanded the business of Golask Enterprise to various fields throughout Zaun.

Even Black Lane has a dance hall opened by her.

Renata's current comprehensive strength is much stronger than that of some alchemy barons.

If it hadn't been for the fact that she had conflicts with several monopoly tycoons in the past two years, and she was negotiating with them so that she couldn't get away, she probably would have become a baron of alchemy long ago.

Li Lin, who was informed of this information at the time, was silent for a long time.

Investing in the genius of the poor, funding the poor, putting people to work, giving out loans...

According to Sevica, Renata does not seem to value monetary rewards.

Pay back the money as much as you can, and pay off the debt with loyalty if you can't.

In short, she buys people's hearts with money.

If Renata really had such a blood feud with the Shangcheng people, her mind would definitely not be so pure.

But for now, she doesn't seem to show any hostility to Shangcheng.

But Li Lin was worried about this.

It's not that he doesn't believe in people's hearts.

But in an environment like Zaun, it is not easy to produce Ike, a "son of Zaun" who can always maintain his original intention.

What's more, he has both parents, and he has no direct conflict or hatred with Picheng.

It is hard for Renata's actions to prevent Li Lin from suspecting that she is accumulating her own strength and preparing to go to war with Picheng at a certain moment.

He must visit this Mrs. Gerasker sometime, and see how she treats Piltover.

On the road of construction and development of Shuangcheng, there is no room for any mistakes.

It was dusk.

Li Lin bid farewell to Van der and Baobao, and stopped by Benso's grocery store to visit Ike.

During this period of time, Li Lin sent people to send him a lot of books on the field of machinery for him to study.

What happened recently put too much pressure on Li Lin, so he prepared to solve the problem of the Alchemy Baron, and waited for the two cities to stabilize before taking Ike to Picheng.

Afraid that this little guy would be snatched away by Renata, Li Lin gave him another bag of silver wheels, and by the way explained that Bensuo was not stable recently, so pay more attention to him.

Things went relatively smoothly today, and the tasks of two or three days were completed in one day.

For the next time, apart from going to Piltover University to help Jess and Victor, all that is left is to wait for the power armor materials to be ready and upgrade it.

　In the next chapter, we will improve the power armor and upgrade it to a new combat mecha. There are reference pictures in the comment area.
