Two Cities: I am building a mecha in Pi City

After coming out of Heimerdinger's office, Victor and Li Lin took the elevator.

There was no one else on the elevator, and they began to talk about how to implement changes to the technology in the bottom city.

"To be honest, I also studied alchemy technology before coming to Piltover University. How should I describe them..."

Victor lowered his head and thought for a moment, and a word suddenly came to his mind: "Disorder... Yes, disorder, and uncertainty."

"Because alchemy technology is too unstable, any deviation may lead to extremely serious consequences, but often they will produce such deviations due to various uncontrollable factors..."

Li Lin expanded Victor's knowledge of alchemy technology with his own understanding and briefly summarized it.

Victor glanced at him in surprise, "Yes, that's it."

"Your expression is because you want to know why I also research alchemy technology, right?" Li Lin asked with a smile on his face.

"Uh...my idea is a bit rude." Victor looked away awkwardly and explained: "I thought you only studied Hex technology and had no involvement in alchemy technology..."

His words were very tactful, but Li Lin understood his thoughts.

The origins of alchemy technology can actually be traced back decades ago, but it only really started to develop in a decade or two.

Compared with Hex Technology, which has been developed for hundreds of years, Alchemy Technology, which is more unstable, has deadly pollution and is not widely used, is insignificant and useless.

Almost no family of artisans in the upper city valued Zaun's alchemy technology.

After all, Piltover's Hex technology level leads the world, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the best in the world.

As a craftsman of the Gila Mann family, Li Lin was naturally preconceived by Victor and subconsciously identified as someone who disdained alchemy technology.

“As long as they are books on mechanics and science, I will basically accept them.”

With the assistance of [data-based thinking], Li Lin never refuses knowledge.

Even in the field of alchemy technology, he has been involved in a lot. He has basically read everything in the Giraman family library.

Victor secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared to another slightly arrogant genius Jace whom I met at the Evolution Day Conference last night, Li Lin is much easier to get along with.

"Come this way."

The elevator stopped steadily on the second floor, and Victor and Li Lin entered the corridor.

This floor is where most of the Piltover University teachers' offices are located, and the flow of people has obviously increased.

However, compared to the usually crowded corridors, the second floor was relatively deserted today.

Due to the events that took place last night, Piltover gave ordinary teachers and students a temporary break.

Therefore, teachers or students who do not have important research topics are not allowed to come to the college.

Victor led Li Lin to the door of a room at the end of the corridor on the second floor. The door number was engraved with the words "Office of Assistant to the Dean and Teaching Assistant of the College·Victor".

"Come in." Victor unlocked the door with the key and invited Li Lin into the house.

The decoration in the room is very simple, with basically no extra personal supplies.

"Would you like something to drink? Tea or coffee?"

"Need not……"

Just as Li Lin was about to refuse, he saw Victor already pouring the coffee powder from the coffee can into a cup.

"Bring me some coffee, too, and I'll help you." Li Lin shook his head and sighed silently.

In order not to cause him too much trouble, Li Lin picked up the teapot from the table and walked to the water dispenser to fill a pot of hot water, then returned to the table and poured it into the cup Victor had prepared.

Victor looked at his legs unconsciously, his expression a little stiff, "These are things that guests shouldn't do..."

"Aren't we friends?" Li Lin said with a smile, "Friends should help each other."

"Friend..." Hearing this word, Victor looked a little dazed.

His genius mind alone was enough to arouse envy. Combined with his status as a city dweller and his strange ideas that popped up from time to time, he was ostracized at Piltover University and had almost no friends.

Except for one childhood playmate who was also from Zaun like him...

"Victor?"

Li Lin's call made Victor calm down from his troubled thoughts.

"Sorry, I got distracted." He said with an apology on his face, "I remembered something from the past."

Li Lin nodded thoughtfully. Seeing that Victor didn't want to get too involved in this aspect, he changed the topic:

"By the way, you said there is something you want to tell me in your office, what is it?"

"I almost forgot about the real thing..."

Victor put down the coffee he had just picked up and called Li Lin to the room next to him that was obviously a laboratory.

This room is filled with a variety of advanced and sophisticated instruments, some of which are not even available in Gila Mann's home.

What caught Li Lin's attention the most were the four robotic arms fixed on a platform in the center of the room.

Is this the prototype of Victor's future mechanical ascension and transformation into a mechanical body with a third laser hand on his back?

Li Lin's eyes lit up.

Victor walked to the machine with a cane and a slight stagger, and excitedly introduced to Li Lin:

"This is a fully automatic mechanized device I invented before. Let me demonstrate it for you..."

He first pressed a button and turned on the Hex Technology generator with Hex Crystal as the energy supply core under the platform.

Wait until the whole machine flashes several arcs and is gradually covered with blue energy.

Victor quickly pressed a few buttons on the machine platform with his free left hand.

Immediately afterwards, the four mechanical arms twisted very flexibly, and the three triangular mechanical claws all faced Victor, rotating from time to time, as if they were alive.

It is hard to imagine that, leaving aside magic technology, a world whose overall technology is only at the level of the steam age, and has not even experienced the first industrial revolution, could have such a device that rivals Earth's modern technology.

"I have entered several fixed instructions into them." As he spoke, Victor pressed the button on the machine platform at hand.

The four robotic arms received the order and picked up the parts and devices on the platform to load and unload each other.

Soon, with only one claw arm remaining, the other three arms were replaced with multi-functional repair tools, hammers and welding guns.

Victor pressed another button, and four arms with different functions collected a pile of discarded metal and mechanical device parts from the platform.

With a burst of knocking and dazzling sparks flying, the robotic arm successfully pieced together a pair of scrap pieces into a mini metal "figure" that looked like Heimerdinger.

Even though Li Lin knew Victor's intelligence, he was also shocked by the scene in front of him.

He didn't expect Victor's fully automated mechanical device to be able to do this.

"You invented this?!" Li Lin said in surprise.

Victor kept smiling and nodded silently.

"You can invent this kind of device that can be regarded as high-end technology in Piltover, why are you just a teaching assistant?"

To be fair, this kind of automated machinery is widely used in modern times on Earth, let alone a city-state with a technological level like Piltover.

When asked by Li Lin, Victor looked a little bitter.

“I invented this in an alchemy workshop in the city a few years ago. At that time, I was still young and didn’t come to Piltover University, so I didn’t know about patents.

"Later, when I was invited to the academy by Professor Stanwyck, I discovered that this fully automated mechanical device had been patented by a person from the Zaun Academy of Technology and Magic. He also invented an alchemy technology robot that specializes in cleaning alchemy waste from the ditches of the city... …”

Li Lin was silent, feeling indignant at what happened to Victor.

He suddenly thought that in the background story, Victor had the experience of having the patent of the steam robot Blitzcrank he invented being plagiarized by a shameless professor.

Li Lin doesn't like Victor's submissive character, but he doesn't want him to become the mechanical pioneer who castrates his emotions and becomes extreme.

Before Li Lin could respond, Victor continued: "Let the past pass. Complaining won't change anything anyway."

"As a scientist, your invention should bear your own name instead of being plagiarized by shameless bastards. This is not acceptable to you."

Li Lin sighed helplessly, with a hint of resentment in his tone.

"Actually, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I have been working on an invention that is better than fully automatic mechanization these years."

Victor stopped the mechanical arm in front of him and looked at Li Lin excitedly.

"What do you think, we introduce new elements into the robots that clean up waste in ditches, so that they can reach new heights..."

The more he heard what he said, the more Li Lin's heart beat, "What do you mean..."

"Hex Energy Crystal."

Energy crystal?

No, no, no... Blitzcrank can't be made with energy crystals.

Li Lin shook his head slightly.

"Why, isn't my idea okay?" Victor asked hesitantly.

A mysterious smile appeared on Li Lin's face, "It's not impossible, but do you want it to reach a higher level?"

Victor didn't understand what he meant, "Huh?"

"We use primordial crystals."
