Two Cities: I am building a mecha in Pi City

After returning to Forgan's Tavern, Li Lin communicated with Fandel about what to do next, and had some fun with Bakubao.

When he was about to leave, Sevika, who had been waiting for him smoking outside the door, stopped him.

"Sevika? Is something wrong?"

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

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

Severka lit another cigarette and gestured towards the tavern with her eyes, "By now, you should be able to tell."

Li Lin looked inside through the cloudy glass window.

Fandel, who had just served drinks to the guests, returned to the bar and filled up the juice for Bao Bao, who was holding a rabbit doll and talking excitedly, as well as Vi, Clegg and Milo beside her.

In his soft eyes, there was only kindness and love.

If we had not known in advance that this middle-aged man with a beard was the boss of the dark alley, it would be difficult to imagine that he was once one of the leaders of the "Ashes Day".

"Ever since Fandel picked up the two sisters Vi and Blast on the Day of Ashes, and later adopted Clegg and Milo, he has completely lost the spirit of the past."

Servica exhaled the smoke from her nose and withdrew her gaze, "I don't know why you want to help Dicheng, but there is one thing I agree with you. Let Fandel dominate Zaun and become the only one who can talk.

"Your idea is very good. I originally had hope for him, but now Fandel, alas..." She sighed slightly, "He already has a new goal and will no longer lead us as before. .”

"So what you mean is..."

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

"Go find Hilko."

…

…

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it is already the beginning of spring.

In the past two or three months, more and more people in the north and south areas of Piltover have ridden bicycles.

There are even many people in Zaun who have a lot of money and have purchased this novel means of transportation.

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

This price only buys three Hextech batteries.

The cheapest one only costs two silver wheels, and the average working class can buy one and ride it only for a month or two.

The price is affordable, travel is convenient, and it is a new and popular product. No one can refuse such a vehicle.

The profit sharing from the bicycle alone brought Li Lin huge wealth.

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

The money was deposited by Karina in the Zodiac vault of the most secure bank in Piltover in the name of Li Lin, and she also asked him to set a password that she only knew.

In addition, Piltover's first thermal power station, led by the Giraman family and invested and participated by many families such as Myrdalda, Feros, Salo, and Kewald, is also under construction in the suburbs outside the city.

Because Zaun is rich in coal mines, burning coal to generate electricity is the best option today.

The Gate of the Sun is in the hands of Jagu, the head of the Midarda family. If you want to develop hydroelectric power, you must obtain his consent.

The Gila Mann family is now negotiating with the Myrdalda family on this issue.

During this time, Li Lin was not idle either.

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

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

With just a seemingly ordinary metal device and a wire, people can talk to each other across several rooms.

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

After Li Lin explained how to use the telephone and the idea of ​​spreading it to the Twin Cities, Karina immediately sent a sound transmission tube to contact investors from other families.

When they heard that this thing was Li Lin's invention, especially the Myrdalda family and the Philos family, they agreed to invest without even thinking.

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 great achievements, but Jess and Victor have also made breakthroughs in their research.

The first is Jace. The "Hex Flying Gate" technology he has been researching can already use several Hex energy crystals to teleport small items over short distances.

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

As a result, the Giramann family and the University of Piltover increased their investment in him.

He even gained the attention of one of the prominent investors of the Philos family, Yabus Philos.

On Victor's side, through his improvement of fully automatic mechanical devices and the application of Hex energy crystals, he successfully developed a Hex technology robot that is smarter than the Alchemy technology robot.

But it's still very different from the intelligent robot Li Lin imagined.

But for Piltover, whose overall technological level is only in the steam era and does not have smart chips, it is already an invention that breaks through the times.

As a result, Victor was officially promoted by the college, got rid of his status as a teaching assistant, and became a formal 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 granted it for the time being.

But Victor was very satisfied.

The bell in the Zodiac basement rang for the second time. It was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and Piltover's lunch break was over.

Li Lin put on the Infinite Source Project power armor and took the Hex pressure transport aircraft down to the trench.

Because his reputation has been well known by 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 its final stop.

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

The only people who go there will be miners and scavengers, and they can't afford the elevator. Naturally, the family that 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 being built in the northeast.

He spent a sum of money to hire Huck as an overseer, and several sturdy alchemy technology augmented thugs to protect the construction site.

Of course, Huck couldn't read the drawings, nor did he understand what a power station was or how to build it.

Li Lin was looking for him simply because he was Fandel's subordinate and was relatively familiar with the ditch.

And his job is just to keep an eye on the construction site to prevent construction materials from being stolen by some bold scavengers and ditch orphans.

As for construction issues, Li Lin will guide the entire process.

Not long after, he arrived at the construction site.

But the scene before him made him frown.

A group of at least 50 men armed with swords and muskets surrounded his work site, shouting profanities and curses.

There are many among them who have enhanced their alchemy technology through transformation.

If Li Lin hadn't followed the construction method on Earth and erected thickened walls and iron gates around the construction site, this group of guys with obviously malicious intentions would have probably broken in.

A thin and stooped Huck and several thugs he hired alone were unable to cope with this kind of situation.

Is this some alchemy baron taking action...

Li Lin couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he sped up and ran to the iron gate of the construction site.

Seemingly recognizing his power armor, dozens of gangsters immediately pointed their thermal weapons at him with fierce expressions on their faces.

Before Li Lin could speak, Huck's anxious and frightened 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 to look at the group of guys in front of him. His eyes finally locked on an unusually tall man who looked very much like the leader.

The man's body was covered with traces of alchemy technology transformation. Emerald green alchemy potion was transported into his body through the conduit. In his right hand, he held a specially modified sword.

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

Zongshan Gangtai took a few steps forward, pointed his special sword at Li Lin, and spoke in a very arrogant tone.

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

Alchemist Baron Takeda is an official character, not a fictional character on my part, a samurai family from Ionia.
