After returning to the Fulgrim Tavern, Li Lin discussed with Fandel what to do next and played around with Bakugo again.
As he was about to leave, Sevika, who had been waiting for him outside the door smoking, called him.
"Sevika? What's wrong?"
"I want to talk to you about Vandel." Sevika spat out the cigarette butt in her mouth and stepped on it a few times to put it out.
Li Lin suddenly remembered that he had wanted to persuade Vander before, but was stopped by Sevika, "Oh, right, you didn't let me continue..."
Sevika lit another cigarette and gestured towards the tavern, "You should be able to tell by now."
Li Lin looked inside through the cloudy glass window.
Vandel, who had just served drinks to the guests, returned to the bar and poured juice for Baobao, who was holding a rabbit doll and talking excitedly, as well as Wei, Craig and Milo beside her.
There was only kindness and affection left in his soft eyes.
If we didn't know in advance that this middle-aged man with a beard was the boss of the black alley, it would be hard to imagine that he was once one of the leaders of the "Day of Ashes".
"Ever since Vandal picked up the sisters Vi and Boom Boom during the Day of Ashes, and later adopted Clegg and Milo, he has completely lost his former edge."
Sevika exhaled smoke from her nose and retracted her gaze. "I don't know why you want to help Undercity, but I agree with you on one point: let Vandel unify Zaun and become the sole decision-maker.
"Your idea is good. I had hoped for him, but Fandel now, alas..." She sighed softly, "He has a new goal and will no longer lead us as before."
"So you're saying..."
Inside the Infinite Armor, Li Lin's eyelids twitched, and he roughly guessed what Sevika wanted to say.
"Go find Hilco."
…
…
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, it is already the beginning of next spring.
In the past two or three months, more and more people in the north and south districts of Piltover have started riding bicycles.
Even many people in Zaun who were more well-off financially also purchased this new type of transportation.
Although bicycles are divided into several price ranges according to the quality of production, the most expensive one only has a dozen silver wheels.
This price can only buy three Hextech batteries.
The cheapest one only costs two silver wheels, and the average working class person only needs to save money for a month or two to buy one.
It is affordable, convenient, and a new product that is quite cool. No one can refuse such a means of transportation.
The profit share from bicycles alone brought Li Lin a huge fortune.
Not to mention that the first batch of mechanical watches that have been put into production and sold to large families in the past two months were sold out in less than half a day.
Karina deposited the money in the Zodiac Vault, the safest bank in Piltover, in the name of Li Lin, and asked him to set a password that only he knew.
In addition, the first thermal power station in Piltover, led by the Gilaman family and invested in by many families such as Midalda, Philos, Salo, and Kevold, was also put into construction in the suburbs outside the city.
Because Zuan is rich in coal mines, burning coal to generate electricity is the best choice today.
The Gate of the Sun is controlled by Jagu, the head of the Midalda family. If you want to develop hydroelectric power, you must get his consent.
The Gilaman family is now negotiating with the Midalda family on this issue.
During this period, Li Lin was not idle either.
In addition to going down to the Zaun trench to supervise the construction of the tidal power station, he spent his free time researching auxiliary electronic chips that could be used inside armor.
But before that, he first invented the wired telephone on Earth.
Using nothing more than a seemingly ordinary metal device and a piece of wire, people can talk to each other across several rooms.
And this was the original version, which really shocked Karina and Elro for a long time at Li Lin's inventive talent.
After Li Lin explained how to use the telephone and the idea of popularizing it in the two cities, Kalina immediately sent a voice tube to contact investors from other families.
When they heard that this thing was another invention of Li Lin, the Midalda family and the Philos family, in particular, agreed to invest without even thinking about it.
Soon, the first telephone exchange was built and the first batch of wired telephones went into production.
Not only did Li Lin achieve remarkable results, but Jace and Victor also made breakthroughs in their research.
First up is Jayce. The "Hextech Flying Gate" technology he has been researching can now use several Hextech energy crystals to transport small objects over short distances.
Although the distance was only more than ten meters and the object being teleported was only the size of a palm, it was enough to prove that his idea was feasible.
As a result, the Gilaman family and Piltover University increased their investment in him.
He even caught the attention of Yabus Philos, a prominent investor from the Philos family.
On Victor's side, through his improvement of the fully automatic mechanical device and the application of Hextech energy crystals, he successfully developed a Hextech robot that is more intelligent than the Alchemy Technology Robot.
But it is still very different from the intelligent robot that Li Lin imagined.
But for Piltover, a city whose overall technological level is only at the steam age and has no smart chips, this is already a groundbreaking invention.
As a result, Viktor was officially hired by the academy, getting rid of his assistant teaching status and becoming a formal lecturer at Piltover University.
Originally, he could have been made a professor directly based on his invention, but due to his age and insufficient qualifications, he was unable to be granted the title for the time being.
