Battle of the Twin Cities: The Ninth Councilor

Chapter 116 Useful Failed Inventions
"Three right?"

Zevi weighed it up and nodded: "No problem, but it will take a little time. I will find you when I finish it in a few days."

"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you." Marcus said: "I originally let you enter the Hex Research Institute to let you show your ambitions, but now you are here to complete the project for others. I am really sorry."

Zewei waved his hand indifferently and said: "Originally, I just had a preliminary idea for those projects. As for how to realize them, I still don't have a clue. Taking advantage of this time to help the research institute improve a few projects, maybe I can find them. Inspiration."

"No idea?" Marcos agreed to Zevi's joining the institute before, because her idea of ​​a 'mobile phone' moved him.

Now that the project has encountered difficulties before it even started, Zevi has no inspiration at all?

"If you have any difficulties, you can tell them and let everyone help to think of a solution." Marcus said: "As the saying goes, 'One person counts the short, and three people count the long'. Maybe other people in the institute have some good ideas?"

In fact, Marcos just wanted Zevi to talk about his troubles. After all, he was often exposed to electronic products in his previous life, and he might be able to use some knowledge from his previous life to solve them.

"Come with me."

Zevi thought that what Marcos said made sense, so he turned around and led him into a small laboratory, where there was only a miniature hexa-gate, which was made by Jess and Victor before as a model .

Although it is a model, it has all the functions of the Hexagate, and can even operate directly, sending objects of a certain mass to the side of another Hexamen model.

Zevi activated the model in the past, and then said to Marcus: "You wait for me here, it will be fine soon."

After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked out of the laboratory, closing the door behind her.

The small laboratories inside the Hex Technology Research Institute use the best explosion-proof, sound-proof, anti-virus, and shock-proof materials on the market. As long as the door is closed, let alone someone talking outside, even if someone is holding a concert outside, There was no sound at all in the laboratory.

Just when Marcus was curious about what Zevi wanted to do, Zevi's voice suddenly sounded in the laboratory: "Marcos, can you hear me? If you can, please pick up the microphone on the table... ...Oh, that water glass thing, talk to it, answer me."

Only then did Marcus discover that there was a cup made of metal next to the Hexflygate model, and the cup was connected to the Hexflygate with a wire.

This design reminds him of the self-made communicator taught by his teacher in the handicraft class in elementary school. It can be made with only two disposable water cups and a cotton thread. The principle is to transmit sound through vibration, so that people on the other side can hear what is talking here.

Picking up the cup, Marcus cleared his throat and said to him, "I can hear you."

Zevi must have carried out this kind of experiment many times, so she didn't show much joyful reaction: "As you can see, simple sound transmission can be realized through the Hexa-gate, but the problem is also very big, then It’s just that although the voice has been transmitted, it can only be released publicly through the Hex-Flying Gate, and private calls cannot be made. This is contrary to my original idea, so this project is not complete, and it can even be said to be a failure. "

What Zewei wanted to develop was a function similar to that of a mobile phone, but in the end he came up with a loudspeaker for shouting at the entrance of the village. It would not count as a complete failure, but only half of it.

Because it's just this semi-finished product, Marcos can think of some uses.

In addition to being used for broadcasting, it can also be used in some service industries with a large flow of people.

Take Piltover's largest bank, the Zodiac Vault, for example.

There are a lot of people going to the Zodiac basement to handle business every day. In order to maintain order, sometimes the team will line up like a greedy snake and circle several circles in the Zodiac basement hall.

Because of the queuing problem, there are several disputes every month in the Zodiac basement, and there are even fights that escalate into bloodshed.

For this reason, Zodiac Basement cooperated with the Law Enforcement Bureau and hired two teams of special law enforcement officers to maintain order, and paid a lot of fees to the Law Enforcement Bureau every month.

If the Zodiac basement has the current miniature hexa-flying gate, it can directly realize the calling mode of Marcus in his previous life, and whoever is called will go to handle the business, fundamentally eliminating the fish in troubled waters when queuing. the possibility of disputes.

Although this would cause certain losses to the Law Enforcement Bureau, what does that have to do with Marcus?

The money earned from the Zodiac Vault cannot go into his personal pocket.

Instead, the Zodiac Basement buys or leases tiny hexagates from the Hextech Institute, which instead allows Marcus to make money.

Marcus stared at the semi-finished product of the 'Hexgate for Communication' and fell into deep thought, planning to go to the Zodiac Vault sometime to sell this thing, and didn't even notice what Zavi said behind it.

"Why are you in a daze?"

Zevi had not received any feedback from Marcos in another laboratory for a long time. When he came over and saw Marcos standing in front of the table in a daze, he went over and gave him a push.

At this time, Marcus came back to his senses: "Ah? What did you just say?"

"It doesn't matter what I just said, what matters is what you thought of just now in the process of being in a daze." Zevi stared at Marcos with burning eyes. She thought that Marcos, as one of the founders of Hex Technology, What improvement method has been thought of in the short period of time just now.

Just like the previous Atlas gloves, you can take out a very advanced blueprint at your fingertips, saving yourself the time of detours.

Marcos would be wrong, and told Zevi what he just thought: "If there are two such miniature hexa-gates in the Zodiac basement, then find a woman with a pleasant voice to announce the number to guide customers if……"

Zev quietly listened to Marcus's description, and most of the anticipation in his heart dissipated: "According to what you said, it is indeed feasible, but the Zodiac Basement Association is willing to spend sky-high prices to buy two miniature Hexagates from our research institute. ?"

This is a very practical question, although these two Hexgates are small, but don’t forget... just the Hex crystals used as energy, each one is not cheap, let alone Hex Sifeimen is the most authoritative product in the research institute at present, and the complete body is even more expensive!
"Who said it was going to be sold to them?" Marcos laughed out loud, "They are rushing to buy it, but I don't want to sell it yet!"

"Then you think..." Zevi is very smart, and he understood the core idea of ​​Marcus's words after a two-second pause: "You have to lease the miniature hexagate to the Zodiac Basement ?!"

At this moment, Zewei finally understood why Marcus could become the core figure in the Hex Technology Research Institute.

Because compared to other people, Marcos has a much more flexible mind than them in doing business.

It takes a lot of energy to cooperate with this kind of person, because you don't know when he sells you, and you may happily help him count the money.

"Why not?" Marcus patted Zevi on the shoulder: "Don't be discouraged, there are many inventions in this world that were born as failures in a certain experiment. As long as you find a place that can be used, the failures will be able to into successful R&D projects.”
