Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

At Bluesun Manor, Jace is learning to truly enter Piltover's upper class society with Mel's help.

In the college laboratory, Victor, accompanied by Skye, is looking for a way to use artificial Hex crystals to transform Hex's body to save his life.

In Zaun, Cassiopeia escaped in embarrassment under the protection of Tyrone.

She had never met Lux.

But all her plans were completely thwarted by Lux - Elise escaped with serious injuries, and Singed was simply captured. Cassiopeia, who boasted of her wisdom, used the power of Noxus to drive a One after another, he saw chess pieces in his eyes, but in the end, Lux turned the whole army against him, and finally lost the whole game.

The War Masons still nominally obeyed her orders, but Tamara was willing to offer anything other than actual help.

If Tai Lung hadn't given up on her, she would have been left desperately waiting to die in Zaun.

Lux knew that there was a Noxian spy in Zaun, and she also knew that this spy went by the alias "Opea" in Piltover. She was a beautiful and vicious woman, but because the other party ran away too quickly, Xingi over there As soon as De was caught, she left the chemical plant first, so even if the final battle was won, Lux could not catch the Noxian spy.

The workers under the Foreman organization can catch the Alchemy Baron and their lackeys with certainty, but asking them to help catch this Noxian spy is beyond their capabilities.

Janna, who was able to use the breeze to collect information, discovered that something was wrong with the wind. However, when Lacus arrived, she was embarrassed to realize that she had fallen into the trap of tricking the tiger away from the mountain. In order to lure Lax into the trap, Cassiopepe Ya spent a lot of money and used many magic props to create strong shadow magic fluctuations, causing Janna to misjudge.

Even though Ino personally guarded the road to Kumangla, Cassiopeia was better this time - she and Tyrone chose the more remote and dangerous road that had not yet been completely cleared, leading to The roads of Kalduga.

After avoiding the sight of the workers guarding the intersection, they dived into the jungle.

After discovering the safe house and a bunch of magic props, Lux and Kalya briefly discussed and finally gave up the pursuit.

It can no longer be caught.

Moreover, compared to searching for a needle in a haystack for a Noxian spy who might change his identity, there are more important things in front of Lux now.

Resumption of production in Zaun.

……………………

As Kalya once said - uniting the Zaun people and destroying the Alchemy Baron is just the beginning of this great change.

Next, restoring production in Zaun is the top priority.

Although the amount of gold hex seized from the Alchemy Baron's warehouse is staggering, even if the part stored in the Zodiac vault is not included, it is still enough to exchange for an astonishing amount of food from Kumangla through the newly opened trade route. , but for the entire Zaun, this is still just a temporary measure.

The people of Zaun can accept part of the fruits of their labor to be distributed in the form of food.

But beyond that, they still need a salary.

In the past, Zaun's factories would sell products to Piltover in exchange for gold hex, and then buy Piltover's other products - but now, Piltover has blocked Zaun, and Lux ​​has also We do not intend to continue to open those highly polluting and highly dangerous factories.

Zaun is in urgent need of transformation.

So, the question is, how should Zaun transform?

Together with Fander and others, Lux summoned a large number of foremen to summarize Zaun's strengths and weaknesses outside Fulgrim's Tavern.

Let’s talk about the disadvantages first.

First, Zaun produces almost no food.

After years of pollution and over-exploitation, the land in Zaun is completely unusable for the cultivation of normal food crops - there is a lack of light, the land is seriously polluted, and heavy metals and other chemical toxins are concentrated. Can it be grown in Zaun? Food is not guaranteed, and even if it is grown, it is almost impossible to eat.

Secondly, Zaun's existing industrial industries have no market.

The largest industries in Zaun are mining and primary processing, but the main buyers of both are Piltover. When Zaun is blocked and wants to be self-reliant, its products cannot be sold even if it continues to produce. .

Finally, Zaun does not have a stable and qualified organizational structure.

The structure of the small group of foremen uniting workers has its own unique and advanced nature, but it must also be reorganized under the overall transformation of Zaun. But at least in Zaun now, everyone still has no idea how to change it.

As for other problems, such as the lack of written laws, the lack of formal military force, serious bad habits, etc., although they are also serious, they are not the main problems at present.

Compared with its disadvantages, Zaun also has its own unique advantages.

First, the Zaunites have a high literacy rate.

Although a simple statistics shows that the average person here has graduated from elementary school, and most people can only write their names. However, considering that the average person in Rune Land has graduated from prenatal education, Zaun has a considerable advantage in terms of literacy rate.

Everyone is accustomed to division of labor and cooperation, and naturally has a high degree of organization.

Secondly, Zaun has a good chemical industry foundation.

Although the previous alchemy industry headed by Singed was somewhat off track, with human experiments and research that ignored ethical bottom lines everywhere, it is undeniable that Zaun has a very good chemical industry foundation.

There are many supporting factories and skilled workers, which is undoubtedly a major advantage.

Finally, Zaun has Calican's laboratory.

Lux and Ino only had a brief glimpse of the results of Calican's laboratory. The specific situation is hard to say, but at least for now, Calican has mastered the method of cultivating rune trees in a lightless environment, and this will also Become Zaun’s advantage project.

The cultivation and subsequent processing of rune trees can completely complement the chemical industry!

By analyzing Zaun's strengths and weaknesses, Lux quickly established the city's development direction.

Internally, Zaun wants to shut down highly polluting industries, block Piltover's sewage outlets, mobilize intellectuals to study the results of Calican's laboratory, organize mines for lightless cultivation of rune trees, and transform alchemy factories into rune stone processing. Factory and fertilizer processing plant...

Externally, Zaun wants to maintain the Kumanggla trade route to maintain food supply, open up the Kalduga trade route to gain access to the west, and take the initiative to engage in diplomacy with the northern cities of Shurima...

In general, it is "except for food, try to produce it yourself; shut down pollution and open up new production."

In addition, it is also necessary to compile the written laws belonging to Zaun, organize workers to conduct training after work, use the training opportunities to build new grassroots organizations, form a worker guard to maintain urban security, and carry out the transformation of Zaun's urban area...

When the plans were listed one by one, and preliminary evaluation and analysis were conducted, everyone in the meeting was surprised to find that as long as they make good plans, the future can be so clear.

In the end, after repeated discussions, everyone finally unanimously decided to carry out a large-scale and thorough transformation of Zaun every three years.

Kalya’s Little Classroom·Renovation of the Alchemy Factory:

In fact, although the alchemy factories in Zaun did not produce very good things in the past, they are indeed quite advanced factories in Rune Land. With skilled workers, with a little modification, they can become factories for processing rune tree products.
