Battle of the Twin Cities: The Ninth Councilor

Chapter 88 Disagree?Then let them agree!
Marcus has long been dissatisfied with the horse-drawn carriage traffic in Piltover and proposed the idea of ​​making Hex technology vehicles with Jess three years ago, but at that time Jess was obsessed with his own research project and worried about Hex After the technological vehicle is produced, it will be shelved like a steam vehicle.

After all... Hextech also exploded during the research and development process, and the power was not less than that of a steam boiler explosion, or even worse.

If that thing exploded under or inside the car, one can imagine what would happen to the people sitting in it.

Jace had experienced the explosion of hex gems up close, so he didn't pay much attention to Marcus's suggestion.

Now, the Hex core is about to be born, and he just learned about Ezreal, which aroused his idea of ​​trying to make a Hex vehicle.

"Roar?" Zevi looked at Jess playfully: "Compared to your two inventions that are more like tools for the benefit of the people and more like weapons, has the idea you put forward this time finally been considered in terms of benefiting the people's livelihood?"

This annoying woman! ! !
Jess was so angry that he almost cursed on the spot. Thanks to Piltover's good education and his background as a minor nobleman, he restrained his impulse, and finally swallowed the swear words back.

He rolled his eyes: "I have been researching Hex technology since the beginning, in order to make the lives of ordinary people more convenient. It is undeniable that gloves and mechanical claws can indeed help people work more easily, but...

Hmm... It's not tools that are dangerous, but people. "

"Hmph." Zevi dismissed Jess's defense: "As inventors, what we should consider is not production, but research.

Since the development of the first two tools in the direction of people's livelihood has failed, why not simply transform them into more perfect weapons? "

"Making weapons?"

This sentence not only scared Jess, even Victor frowned: "The existence of Piltover is to avoid war and violence, and weapons are the source of chaos, Professor Heimerdinger... No, the Council The whole legislature will not agree with us doing this."

Zevi glanced at Victor and shook his head in disappointment: "I thought you were different from that idiot Jess, but now it seems... you two are just like brothers, hopeless!"

"Listen to Zevi." Jess didn't mind the offensive words in the other party's words, and said seriously: "Our existence is not to provoke fights, but to maintain peace. Once we start researching weapons, it will only be a matter of time before war breaks out. "

"You're wrong." Marcos said at this moment: "The maintenance of peace is not by letting yourself retract your head into the shell, but by truly powerful force! If you go to the street and look, all the bullies are unrestrained People with the strength of a chicken, those fierce-looking, tall and strong men, no one dared to provoke them."

"I can't afford to offend, can't I still hide?" Jess argued, "As long as I don't hang out in the streets, others can't bully me."

"is it?"

The corner of Marcus's mouth curved slightly: "Haven't you heard of burglary?"

"This..." Jess was taken aback for a moment, and then said again: "Then it's okay if I make friends with others? As long as I'm friendly to others first, it's impossible for others to return..."

"You're wrong again." Marcus shook his head lightly: "Over 70.00% of the homicide cases detected by the Law Enforcement Bureau are committed by acquaintances. You think you have shown kindness to others, but you don't know that some people will And start with you.

Turning the other way, aren't the nature-loving Ionians friendly enough?Do you want to pretend you don't know that the Noxian Empire has been at war with them for several years? "

After the Piltover Daily began to use the Hexfly Gate, the news update speed was much faster than before. The information in other places used to be updated every few months, but now it has been compressed to less than a month.

Regarding the trend of the war between Noxus and Ionia, the Pilt City Daily is very diligent in updating, and now even the underage children in the entire Piltover know the existence of this war.

"That's because the Noxus Empire is short of supplies, while Ionia is fertile and rich, so Noxus..." Jess tried to continue to argue, but before he could finish speaking, he had already noticed something was wrong. .

"Have you found it?" Marcus chuckled, "The city of progress, what a rich city?"

He pointed to the gate of the institute: "Do you know what it means once an empire controls Piltover?"

It means that they not only have a transportation hub connecting the entire piece of Runeterra, but also control countless outstanding scientists.

At that time, each scientist will not be as free as he is now about what projects he wants to study, but will look at what the empire needs.

That is the real disaster!
Marcus did not expect that Zewei's concept was so similar to his own. They all believed that if they wanted to protect themselves, they had to first master the force that others were afraid of.

"We are just children walking on the street with countless treasures in our arms. Our immature teeth and nails are not aggressive at all. As long as people stronger than us are greedy, they will suffer in the end!
And to avoid this possible situation in the future, the best way is to make weapons and arm yourself to the teeth, which makes people awe-inspiring, afraid that we will rob them, not that they want to come and rob us.

You don't need to have a knife in your hand, but you must never be without a knife! "

Marcos turned on the mode of "Dun Dun Teaching" and talked endlessly: "I have heard a very philosophical saying: truth is only on the blade, and justice exists within the range of the cannon!"

"Truth is only on the blade..."

"Justice lies within the range of a cannon..."

Jess and Victor chewed on this passage, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt it made sense, and they were almost persuaded.

"No, the council won't agree." Victor still had some concerns.

"Then... let them agree!" When Marcus said this, a bright light flashed in his eyes, "The Philos family will soon be able to develop a more stable artificial Hex crystal, At that time, according to these drawings, make some improvements to the previous two inventions."

He took out the previously exchanged drawings from his pocket, because the most important Hex front has almost been developed, so this time the system only gave diagrams of the dimensions of all the parts and how to make and install them.

For example, the Atlas boxing gloves, the system draws all the content on a piece of paper, and the area is larger than a table in the research institute after being spread out.

Zevi glanced at the blueprint briefly, and couldn't help admiring: "Unconstrained! Unbelievable! Can you think of using magical energy to generate an energy pulse field to form a shield around the user to offset the damage of long-range weapons?"

Why didn't I think of it?
It can also be designed like this!

Zevi murmured, looking up at Marcos: "They said before that you were the one who made the decision in the institute, but I still didn't accept it, and now I understand that you deserve your name!
But I am very curious, the basic model of the boxing gloves is not yet perfect, how did you come up with such exquisite drawings? "

"Me?" Marcus smiled inscrutably: "I didn't design these, what I did was to advance their birth time."

……

Ps. It will be on the shelves tomorrow, and there will be no separate testimonial notice.
