Heimerdinger seemed a little hesitant. "I've seen the blueprints, and it's theoretically feasible, but..."

"Professor, what exactly do you mean by artificial satellite? Are you trying to build a mechanical moon? That's ridiculous."

The speaker was Korwin Levik, known as the "King of Inventions" in Piltover, and his former apprentice Baido Vaelant was standing next to him.

Abs agreed with Colwin's words very much. He twirled the end of his beard and nodded, his face almost twisted.

"Of course we're not building a moon. We're just building an unmanned spacecraft that can be launched into outer space via a rocket and then orbit Runeterra." Li Lin explained, shaking his head.

"Then...what use is this device to us?" asked a bald middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses doubtfully.

He is Professor von Ipp.

"Artificial satellites have many uses. Not only can they serve as scientific satellites to assist us in conducting experiments on atmospheric and astronomical physics, they can also be used as communication relays, to explore Runeterra's resources, and even to explore outer space, what we call 'the outer worlds.'"

After listening to Li Lin's description, several professors fell into deep thought.

On the other side, Yabus and other family representatives frowned deeply.

They think this kind of thing is completely unrealistic.

Even if we can really launch an artificial satellite into the sky, the value it brings will definitely not be as great as the funds invested in it.

At least that's the case for them.

Li Lin understood their capitalistic thinking, so he couldn't persuade them by himself and could only rely on Heimerdinger.

But Heimerdinger's next words undoubtedly poured cold water on him: "Kid, have you ever thought about the problems of those Titans in the sky?"

Li Lin was stunned for a moment, then his heart trembled.

He really didn't pay much attention to this issue.

Runeterra is a planet that the Titans value. No matter what their purpose is, they will most likely not allow human development to go beyond their control.

The satellite might not even be able to leave Runeterra, and it might be destroyed by a Protoss like squeezing an ant...

"Runeterra is a land favored by the gods... well, to be precise, the word 'favored' may not be appropriate, but it doesn't matter."

"Giant gods? Star spirits? Isn't that the legend of Mount Targon?" Kewald said with disdain, "It's even a question whether those gods even exist..."

"That's an ignorant statement!" Heimerdinger glared at her, his tone unusually serious.

"Bandle City has been gazing at the stars for thousands of years, and it's not like there haven't been Yordle people who have climbed Mount Targon... Moreover, the visions seen in the spiritual realm are vastly different from those in the material realm. Our research into the heavens far surpasses yours!

"The Titans were born from the primordial heavens. The constellations you believe in are themselves... The War Constellation, the Twilight Constellation, the Blazing Sun Constellation, and the Bright Moon Constellation are the most familiar and most widely believed gods.

"Other races, such as us Yodels, some of the non-humans of Mount Targon, branches of the Vastaya, or the Minotaur, believe in the constellations of Weasel, Canis Faithful, or Rhino.

"But in my personal opinion, these constellations are very different from the Titans. I prefer to call them 'Star Beasts'..."

Heimerdinger's words faded away, and the room fell into silence.

Li Lin was shocked that Heimerdinger could know so many secrets of the heavens, even the Titan Star Spirit himself and the star beast.

Others were astonished that there were "celestial gods" in this world that were more powerful than demigods, and doubted whether they really existed.

"So... kid, are you sure you still want to launch a satellite?" Heimerdinger's eyes flashed with seriousness, "even at the risk of angering the Targon?"

Li Lin was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head. "No, I don't think this will anger them."

He looked up and met the surprised Heimerdinger's eyes. "They value Runeterra, and we ourselves are far more valued by them than we imagine."

"Otherwise, why would they have taught the Shurimans thousands of years ago how to build the Sun Disc and ascend to become demigods, allowing human civilization to flourish? And why would they have chosen human hosts, bestowed them with power, or used them to descend into the mortal world?

"The technology of artificial gods is far beyond what we can achieve by launching artificial satellites."

"This..." Heimerdinger was speechless. He didn't think about it at all.

Seeing Heimerdinger wavering, Li Lin immediately pressed on: "Besides, how can we know if they agree if we don't try?"

"you mean……"

"Let's launch a satellite first. If the Protoss destroy it, we'll know their attitude and won't expand into the sky anymore."

Li Lin became increasingly excited as he spoke. "But if they hadn't destroyed the satellite, we could have vigorously developed aerospace technology. By then, we wouldn't just be able to build artificial satellites... we could also build habitable space stations and explore other planets beyond Runeterra!"

Li Lin stood up from the sofa and looked around passionately, taking in everyone's expressions.

"Everyone, is it really what you want to be confined to just one planet and become a native of another? There are still vast unknown areas outside of the universe for us to explore. Even if our generation can't wait, we still have our descendants, and our descendants will have their descendants. We can definitely lay the foundation for them!

"Our goal should be the sea of ​​stars beyond this world!"

At this point, everyone present, including Caitlin, Jace and others who knew Li Lin's satellite theory, were stunned.

His bold ideas truly exceeded their current understanding of the world.

However, their views of Li Lin were limited to the surface, and Li Lin thought much more than they did.

Explore outer space?

You're thinking too far ahead. Li Lin is just making empty promises.

This is not his main purpose.

Void.

Another dimension of the universe, another dimension.

The watchers in the void have awakened and are salivating over Runeterra, a planet where many planes overlap and intersect.

This place is special enough, it is the gateway for their full-scale invasion of the material universe.

If you don't have the power to transcend the planet, you can't deal with the Void Watcher...

After giving everyone some time to recover, Li Lin looked at Heimerdinger with a serious expression: "Professor, I think we should give it a try."
