Twin Cities: I am the man of many myths

Chapter 57 Demolition!
Because of Jinx and Ekko, Heimerdinger chose to stay in the Lotus Gang and help Jinx research the purification device.

Because for him, the biggest regret in his life is seeing a genius but not being able to cultivate it personally. Being a teacher is not only human nature, but also the nature of the Yodel people.

Especially people like Heimerdinger who have full "knowledge", "curiosity" and "desire to share".

These three attributes combined together prompted a curious Heimerdinger. When seeing a genius, Heimerdinger couldn't help but wonder what this person's future would be like, and what he would become if he helped him?

Heimerdinger lived up to the reputation of Academician Poppy. The rich experience and knowledge accumulated over countless years came in handy. With his help, Jinx quickly improved a new type of air filtration device.

Heimerdinger's ideas, combined with Jinx's bold thinking and outstanding hands-on ability, created a device that could change the future of Zaun.

On the day it was produced, a look of relief appeared on Heimerdinger's face.

Perhaps at this moment he remembered the days a few years ago when he helped Jayce and Victor create Hextech technology.

But ever since Jayce became a senator and Viktor's health has been getting worse, the scientific atmosphere in Piltover... To be honest, Heimerdinger suddenly felt that the scientific atmosphere in Zaun was purer.

Because the people of Zaun do not create things for fame and power. The primary purpose of what they create is to use it.

If technology cannot be used on humans, cannot change human life and improve the quality of life, then is there any need for technology to exist?

On the day it was produced, Jinx didn't even shout about copyright. Instead, she jumped up and down with a wrench in her hand, shouting that she had finally succeeded and had not let Li Ke and Silko down.

Back to this machine——

This new air purification device is four meters in size and oval in shape. The exterior is made of steel purchased from Piltover. There are several fist-sized holes in the middle that serve as channels for the purified air to circulate.

There are three layers at the bottom. The bottom layer is a device made by Ike with super strong suction. The second layer is a filtering device that uses hex gems, and the third layer is various materials for secondary filtration.

The top is where the energy glimmer is placed. This machine does not rely on electricity to operate, but relies on the energy generated by the burning of the glimmer to drive the Hextech magic to operate the machine.

I remember when Heimerdinger proposed this idea, Ekko was the first one to reject it in horror.

Listen, glimmer plus Hex technology, damn. Is this thing really not going to explode?
No, Ike has been studying the glimmer recently. He knows how lethal the glimmer is. The glimmer is very useful as an energy source. The energy generated by burning it and boiling it is amazing. Its temperature is higher than molten fire. But the problem is that the glimmer is flammable and explosive!
And what about Hexgems?
Jinx and Ekko know Hexgems too well. After all, this thing is one of the reasons that drove Boom to become Jinx. After all, Hexgems are also something that will explode if touched.

Even after several years of research, the finished Hextech gem still retains the property of being easily exploded under heavy pressure.

Magic, it's really too unstable!

And this is indeed the case. If it weren't for Heimerdinger's ideas and knowledge, it would not be impossible for Jinx and Ekko to be killed in the process of research with just the glimmer and the Hexgem. However, with Heimerdinger's intervention, the explosion did occur, but the range was not large and the impact was not strong.

Heimerdinger knows how to control hexgems to change the power of their explosions.

But even so, Jinx had a dark face for a while.

The dust from the explosion fell all over her face, making her look very pitiful, like a little miner sent to dig coal in a mine by a ruthless and cold-blooded capitalist.
But the final result is a good one, because Shimmer and Hextech really blend together!

The technologies that the Upper and Lower Cities rely on for survival and to strengthen themselves and that they are proud of have been integrated together by Zaun!
In the early morning of Zuan, in the Lotus Community, Li Ke looked at a group of people who were placing air purification equipment in a newly built building, which was a high platform surrounded by fences.

"Professor, I broke my promise." Li Ke watched the device being put up, and saw a group of people from the Lotus Gang looking up excitedly and talking about the thing. As they watched, Li Ke said with a smile.

Heimerdinger, who was standing next to him, shook his head. Heimerdinger, who was wearing gray cloth, raised his head and said, "Plans can never keep up with changes, kid."

"At least, you let me know your courage."

"Ekko is right, you are indeed a qualified leader. Please allow me to apologize again to you for the first time I met you." Heimerdinger placed his little hand on his chest and performed a gesture.

"You're too kind." Li Ke said immediately.

Heimerdinger said nothing more, but he did not think his behavior was serious.

Jayce's words and the Li Ke in front of him made Heimerdinger understand what kind of person he was before.

People who stand on high ground and talk about the future in vain will never be able to compare with those who take practical actions.

Li Ke is a person who has always been doing practical things.

At this moment, a hoarse voice sounded from behind.

"It seems that I arrived just in time?"

Li Ke turned around and saw that it was Xierko. Behind him was a group of people. Xierko was wearing a formal suit and holding a gilded scepter. He was walking in step by step. There were also several members of the Lotus Gang beside him. Wei was among them, and he had a very stinky face.

He also looked at the machine, the color in his eyes was indescribable, he opened his mouth and closed it again.

When he got to Li Ke, he looked at it for a few minutes before saying, "Li Ke, does that machine really work?"

"Even if you don't believe me, you should believe Jinx, and besides, there's the person next to me, right?" Li Ke looked at Hilco and said with a raised eyebrow.

Hilco always likes to see the worst in things, but this is not surprising. Hilco understands too well that the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

He hoped more than anyone else that the machine would work, but he was also more afraid than anyone else that the machine would not work.

Hilco looked at Heimerdinger, smiled, and bowed slightly. "It's a pleasure to meet you in Zaun, Professor Heimerdinger."

Heimerdinger didn't know Silko, but the polite big head also performed the etiquette, puffed his beard and said, "Nice to meet you, kid."

"."

After hearing this, the child told Hilco that he couldn't do it anymore.

He gave a rare dry laugh and didn't know what to say.

Considering Heimerdinger's age, it is not an exaggeration to call him a child. After all, it is known that Heimerdinger is at least six hundred years old. In front of him, Hilko is indeed a child.

"Li Ke, are you really ready?"

Hilco turned his eyes away from the machine and looked at Li Ke, then continued calmly: "This is the third time I have asked you this, and it is also your last chance."

"Of course, Silko, my manpower alone is not enough. Your people must also be sent to rebuild the pipelines and seal all the water pipes. This is a huge project." Li Ke replied Silko.

"Besides, many people know that you and I are in the same group, right?"

"I don't admit it. If you don't make it clear, they will spend their whole lives guessing instead of proving it." Xierko said. He handed the scepter to Sevika, took off his coat, and looked at Li Ke with scarlet eyes. He continued:
"But after this is done, we are truly in the same boat, and the reputation you have worked so hard to build up will also be damaged."

"And what do you think, should I listen to you or you listen to me?"

Li Ke looked up and fell silent.

Li Ke understood what Hillco meant. He didn't understand politics, but he was not a fool.

Once this is done, everyone in Zaun - no, Piltover as well - will know that Li Ke and Shilko are in the same boat.

The reputation that Li Ke had previously created due to Hilko's tyranny would be affected.

The Lotus Gang, which is the enemy of the mafia, turns out to be in cahoots with the biggest mafia boss in Zaan?

And what Hilco has always hoped for is that he would be in the shadows while Li Ke would be in the light, and they would use the good cop and the bad cop approach to make Zaun a better place little by little.

Eventually, Zaun no longer needed him, and he disappeared.

But now that Li Ke has done this, Hilco has no idea what will happen in the future.

Hilco looked at Li Ke, and then he heard Li Ke's voice.

"But uncle, don't you think the wind will blow away all the haze?"

"It's time for Zaun to have a sunny day."

Hilco paused, clenched his hands into fists, and his nails dug into his flesh.

Is it a sunny day?
A sunny day in Zaun?

The black-haired boy showed his white teeth, turned his back to Hilco, looked at all the people in the Lotus Gang, and raised his hand with a sunny smile.

Li Ke raised his arm and shouted at the Lotus Gang members who were looking at him.
"dismantle!"
