Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 58 Fully Automated Mechanisms
After coming out of Heimerdinger's office, Victor and Li Lin got on the elevator.

With no one else on the elevator, 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 I came to Piltover University. How should I describe them..."

Victor lowered his head and thought for a while, a word suddenly popped up in 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 made a brief summary.

Victor gave him a surprised look, "That's right, that's it."

"You have such an expression, you want to know why I also have research on alchemy technology, right?" Li Lin asked with a smile on his face.

"Uh... I'm being rude." Victor looked away awkwardly, and explained, "I thought you only studied Hex technology, and didn't have any involvement in alchemy technology..."

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

The source of alchemy technology can actually be traced back to decades ago, but it only really started to develop in 20 years.

Compared with the Hex technology that has been developed for hundreds of years, the alchemy technology that is more unstable, the pollution can be described as fatal, and the application is not widely used can be said to be insignificant and useless.

Few of the artisan families in the upper city value Zaun's alchemy technology.

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

As a craftsman of the Gilaman family, Li Lin was naturally preconceived by Victor and subconsciously identified as a person who disdains alchemy technology.

"As long as it is in the field of mechanics and science, I basically don't refuse any books."

With the assistance of [data-based thinking], Li Lin has always been open to knowledge.

Even in the field of alchemy technology, he has been involved in a lot, as long as it is in the library of Gilaman's family, he has basically read it.

Victor secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

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

"Come here."

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

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

However, compared to the almost overcrowded corridors in the past, today's second floor is relatively deserted.

Due to the events of last night, Piltover has given ordinary teachers and students a break.

Therefore, as long as teachers or students who do not have important research topics do not come to the academy.

Victor led Li Lin to the door of a room at the end of the corridor on the second floor, with the words "Dean's Assistant and Teaching Assistant Office Victor" engraved on the door plate.

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

The decoration in the room is very simple, basically there are no extra items added by him personally.

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

"Need not……"

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

"Coffee for me too, I'll help you." Li Lin shook his head and sighed silently.

In order not to trouble him too much, Li Lin lifted 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 subconsciously, his expression was a little stiff, "These shouldn't be done by customers..."

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

"Friend..." Hearing this word, Victor's expression was a little dazed.

The genius mind alone is already enviable, combined with his identity as a city native and the strange ideas that pop up from time to time, he was excluded at Piltover University and had almost no friends.

Except for a childhood playmate from Zaun like him...

"Victor?"

Li Lin's call made Victor recover from his disturbed thoughts.

"Sorry, I lost my mind." He apologized on his face, "I remembered the past."

Li Lin nodded thoughtfully, seeing that Victor didn't want to get too involved in this aspect, he changed the subject:
"By the way, you mentioned your office, what do you want to tell me, what is it?"

"Almost forgot about business..."

Victor put down the coffee he had just picked up, and greeted Li Lin to the next room, which was obviously a laboratory.

There are all kinds of advanced and sophisticated instruments in this room, some of which are not even available in Gilaman's house.

Among them, what attracted Li Lin's attention the most were the four mechanical arms fixed on a platform in the center of the room.

Is this the prototype of Victor's future mechanical ascension transformation into a mechanical body with a third laser hand on his back?
Li Lin's eyes lit up.

Victor walked to the side of the machine with a cane, staggered a little, and introduced to Li Lin excitedly:

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

He first pressed a button to turn on the Hextech generator under the platform, which uses the Hex crystal as the energy supply core.

When the whole machine flickered several arcs, it was gradually covered by blue energy.

Viktor 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, turning from time to time, as if they had life.

It is hard to imagine that, aside from magical technology, a world whose overall technology is only at the level of the steam age, and which has not even undergone the first industrial revolution, can have such a device comparable to the modern technology of the earth.

"I have entered a few fixed instructions for them." While speaking, Victor pressed the button of the machine platform at hand.

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

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

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

With a burst of knocking and dazzling sparks, the mechanical arm successfully pieced together a pair of waste parts into a miniature metal "figure" in the shape of Heimerdinger.

Even Li Lin, who knew about Victor's intelligence, was 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 was very surprised.

Victor kept smiling and nodded silently.

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

Reasonably speaking, this kind of automated machinery is widely used in modern times on Earth, not to mention a city-state with a technological level like Piltover.

When asked by Li Lin, Victor's expression was a bit bitter.

"I invented this a few years ago in an alchemy workshop in Bottom City, when I was young and never came to Piltover University, 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 Institute of Technology and Magic, and also invented an alchemy technology robot that was specially designed to clean up the alchemy waste in the trenches of the bottom 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 the patent of the steam robot he invented, Blitzcrank, 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 has castrated his emotions and become very extreme in the future.

Without waiting for Li Lin to respond, Victor continued: "Let's let the past go, complaining can't change anything anyway."

"As a scientist, your own inventions should bear your own name, not be plagiarized by shameless bastards. You can't think that way."

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

"Actually, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I have been researching 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.

"You think we're bringing new elements to our ditch-cleaning robots and taking them to new heights..."

The more he heard him say that, the more Li Lin's heart pounded, "You mean..."

"Hex Energy Crystal."

Energy crystal?

No, no, no... Blitzcranks can't be made by energy crystals.

Li Lin shook his head slightly.

"Why, am I okay with this idea?" Victor asked a little hesitantly.

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

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

"We use the original crystal."
