Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 79 Find the Difference
After returning to Fulgen's Tavern, Li Lin discussed with Van der what he was going to do next, and then had a fight with Bobo.

When he was about to leave, Sevica had been waiting for him outside the door, smoking a cigarette, and stopped him.

"Sevica? Is there something wrong?"

"I want to talk to you about Fandel." Sevica spat out the cigarette butt in her mouth, stretched out her foot and stomped it out a few times.

Li Lin suddenly remembered that he wanted to persuade Fandre before, but was stopped by Sevika, "By the way, you didn't let me continue talking..."

Sevica lit another cigarette, and pointed to the tavern with her eyes, "By now, you should be able to see it."

Li Lin looked in through the cloudy glass window.

Fandre, who had just served wine to the guests, returned to the bar, talking excitedly about hugging the bunny doll, and Wei, Craig, and Milo beside her filled up the juice.

In his soft eyes, only kindness and love remained.

If it was not known in advance that this bearded middle-aged man is the boss of the black alley, it would be hard to imagine that he was once one of the leaders of "Day of Ashes".

"Since Van der picked up the two sisters Wei and Bobo on the Day of Ashes, and later adopted Craig and Mellow, he has completely lost the vigor of the past."

Sevica exhaled smoke from her nostrils, and looked away, "I don't know why you want to help Dicheng, but I agree with you on one point, let Vander dominate Zaun and be the only speaker.

"Your idea is very good. I had hoped for him too, but now Van der, alas..." She sighed slightly, "He already has a new goal, and he will no longer lead us like before. .”

"So you mean..."

Inside the infinite armor, Li Lin's eyelids twitched, and he roughly guessed what Sevica wanted to say.

"Go to Shirko."

……

……

time flies.

In a blink of an eye, it is the beginning of spring in the coming year.

In the past two or three months, more and more people have ridden bicycles in the northern and southern urban areas of Picheng.

Even many of Zaun's better-off folks have bought into the novelty of transportation.

Although bicycles are divided into several price points according to the quality of production, the most expensive ones are only a dozen silver wheels.

This price can only buy three Hextech batteries.

The cheapest one is only sold for two silver wheels, and the average working class can buy one to ride and save money for a month or two.

The price is affordable, the travel is convenient, and it is a new product that is quite attractive. No one can refuse such a vehicle.

The profit sharing of bicycles alone has brought Li Lin a lot of wealth.

Not to mention that the first batch of mechanical watches that have been put into production and sold to big families in the past two months were sold out in less than half a day.

The money was stored in the Zodiac Vault of the safest bank in Piltover by Karina in the name of Li Lin, and she asked him to set a password that she only knew.

In addition, the first coal-fired power station in Piltover, which was led by the Gilaman family and invested and participated by many families such as Myrdalda, Philos, Saro, and Kewold, was also put into construction in the outskirts of the city.

Because Zaun is rich in coal mines, coal-fired power generation is the best choice now.

The Sun Gate is in the hands of Jagu, the head of Midarda's family. If he wants to develop hydropower, he must obtain his consent.

The Gilaman family is now negotiating with the Mirdard family on this issue.

During this time, Li Lin was not idle either.

In addition to going down to the trenches of Zaun to supervise the construction of the tidal power station, he spends his free time researching auxiliary electronic chips that can be used inside the armor.

But before that, he first carried and invented the wired telephone on the earth.

With just a seemingly innocuous metal device and a wire, a person can communicate with each other several rooms apart.

And this is still the original version, which really shocked Karina and Erro for Li Lin's inventive talent for a long time.

After Li Lin explained how to use the phone and the idea of ​​popularizing it in Shuangcheng, Karina immediately sent a voice tube to contact investors from other families.

Hearing that this thing was Li Lin's invention again, especially the Midarda family and the Philos family agreed to invest without even thinking about it.

Soon, the first telephone exchange was put into construction, and the first batch of wired telephones were put into production.

Not only has Li Lin made remarkable achievements, but Jess and Victor's research has also made breakthroughs.

First of all, Jess, he has been researching the "Hexgate" technology, which can already use a few Hex energy crystals to transmit small objects over a short distance.

Although the distance is only more than ten meters, and the teleported objects are limited to the size of a palm, this is enough to prove that his idea is feasible.

As a result, the Gilaman family and Piltover University have increased their investment in him.

He even gained the attention of a prominent investor in the Fellowes family, Albus Fellowes.

On Victor's side, through his improvement of the fully automatic mechanical device and the application of the Hex Energy Crystal, he successfully developed a Hex Technology robot that is more intelligent than the Alchemy Technology robot.

It's just that there is still a big difference from the intelligent robot Li Lin imagined.

But for Piltover, whose overall technological level is only in the steam era and has no smart chips, it is already an invention that breaks through the times.

As a result, Victor was formally converted by the college, got rid of his status as a teaching assistant, and became an official lecturer at Piltover University.

Originally, his invention could directly make him a professor, but due to his age and lack of qualifications, he could not be awarded for the time being.

But Victor was already satisfied.

The Zodiac Vault bells struck for the second time, and it was two o'clock in the afternoon, marking the end of Piltover's lunch break.

Li Lin put on the power armor of the Infinite Source Project, and took the Hex pressurized transport plane down to the trench.

Because his reputation has been well known by the major families, in order to curry favor with him, the family that built the elevator ordered not to charge him a penny.

Almost an hour later, the elevator stopped at the upper level of the trench, which was also the final stop.

Most of the middle and bottom layers of the ditch further down are mines, garbage dumps and sewage dumps.

The people who go there will only be miners and scavengers, and they can't afford the elevator, so the family who built the elevator will not waste their money in vain.

Li Lin walked out of the elevator alone and went straight to the tidal power station under construction in the northeast.

He spent a sum of money to hire Huck as a supervisor, and several strong alchemy technology boosters to protect the construction site.

Of course, Huck can't read the blueprints, and he doesn't know what a power station is and how to build it.

Li Lin looked for him because he was Vander's subordinate and he was familiar with the trench.

And his job is simply to watch over the construction site before the materials are stolen by some daring scavengers and gutter orphans.

As for the construction problem, Li Lin will guide the whole process.

Not long after, he rushed to the construction site.

But the scene in front of him made him frown involuntarily.

A group of at least 50 men with swords and muskets surrounded his construction site, swearing and cursing.

Among them, there are many enhanced people who have been enhanced by alchemy technology.

If Li Lin hadn't erected thickened walls and iron gates on the periphery of the construction site like he did on Earth, this group of obviously malicious guys might have broken in.

A thin and crooked Huck and the few thugs he hired were completely unable to cope with this kind of scene.

Which Alchemy Baron made the move...

Li Lin's heart sank unavoidably, his eyes turned cold in an instant, and he ran to the iron gate of the construction site at a faster speed.

Seemingly recognizing his set of power armor, dozens of punks immediately aimed their thermal weapons at him, showing fierce expressions.

Before Li Lin could speak, Huck's anxious and terrified voice came from inside: "Mr. Li Lin! You are finally here..."

"Don't worry, just leave the rest to me."

Li Lin calmed Huck's emotions a little, then turned his head to look at the group of guys in front of him, and finally locked his eyes on a man with an unusually burly figure who looked like a leader.

There were traces of alchemy technological transformation all over the man's body. The emerald green alchemy potion was conveyed into his body through a catheter, and a Taidao that had also been specially modified was clutched in his right hand.

"My name is Zongshan Gangtai, and you are Li Lin who invested in this industrial city?"

Zongshan Gangtai took a few steps forward, pointed at Li Lin with a special sword, and spoke very arrogantly.

"This is the territory of Lord Takeda, the alchemy baron. If you want to build here, first pay us a protection fee of 100 gold seas!"

　Alchemy Baron Takeda is an official character, not a figment of mine, from an Ionian warrior family.
