Chapter 125 There is no need to be humble, it is them who should be afraid of the future
"Li Ke? You, you."
"Li Ke, what's going on?"
"Hilko, don't you explain it?"
"Goddess Janna, why don't you look surprised at all?"
After listening to Jace's words, Janna raised her wings and said, "I knew about this one day earlier than you."
Hilko on the side said: "I explain? What should I explain? The person involved is right in front of you, wouldn't you just ask him directly?"
Fandel looked at Li Ke with complicated eyes. As a father, Fandel actually wanted to rush up and punch Li Ke in the face to vent the grievances Jinx had suffered this year.
But at the same time, Fandel also knew that Li Ke could not be blamed for this matter.
Li Ke was for everyone, and Li Ke really sacrificed himself, but now, when everyone has accepted that he is dead and he has left, he has come back again.
"I know you have many questions, such as, am I dead? Why didn't I come back if I was alive? What have I been doing this year."
"It's too complicated to explain, so you just need to know that I did die, but a god resurrected me.
To you, time has passed a year, but to me, it only takes as long as I close my eyes and open them. In fact, I just woke up not long ago. ”
Everyone heard Li Ke say that the gods resurrected him, and then they all looked at Janna instantly.
"Not me!" Janna screamed.
Look what I do!
If I could resurrect Li Ke, would I be sad with you at that time?
Janna is really angry. After being a god for so many years, she rarely gets emotional, but...but she is really angry now!
Because she clearly said it was not her, but these guys all looked at Janna with "I understand" expressions, nodded, and then their faith in Janna deepened.
Well, it is a good thing that the power of faith has increased. Janna is very happy that these people like her, but it does not mean that the number of liars has increased!
She doesn’t want the power of faith that was cheated!
"Ahem, it's not Janna, it's another god." Li Ke said proactively.
If Janna takes the blame again, Janna will be really angry.
Li Ke himself didn’t even know how many scapegoats he had thrown at Janna.
"Li Ke, do you know other gods?" Heimerdinger became excited and said loudly: "What does it look like? Where is it? Can you meet us?"
"That's not possible, she is very busy." Li Ke said.
He interrupted Heimerdinger, who was still asking questions, and said funnyly: "Okay, everyone, anyway, I'm back, and now, let's have a meeting."
The councilors sat down excitedly and began the meeting.
Jinx was outside the door, guarding Li Ke, waiting for Li Ke to come out after the meeting.
She wanted to be with Li Ke all the time, but meetings and stuff were so boring!
Rather than being unable to talk inside and listening to their meetings, it would be more fun to play outside alone.
Hey, does she seem to have forgotten someone?
Jinx lowered her head and thought.
"Let me go first. First of all, I think we have to break off ties with Noxus and prepare for war with the Noxians. For this reason, developing weapons is our primary goal now."
Jace was the first to speak. He looked at everyone and then said:
"Jinx has developed many powerful weapons, which amaze me. She combines Hex technology and alchemy technology to create flowers.
However, there is nothing wrong with her idea, and the experiments are being carried out step by step. However, there are still some things that we cannot do because the materials we have now are not enough to complete her idea. ”
What Jace was referring to was, of course, the army of remote-controlled killing machines made by Jinx.
This requires too many materials, and some materials are not available in Piltover at all. Victor found alternatives, but they can only be used for small robots. Large-scale mechanisms will be unstable and fall apart when they move.
"So I think we should contact more countries now. Piltover has contacts with many countries, and I can do this."
"We can even consider establishing diplomatic relations with Demacia. I am very interested in their specialty mithril ore."
"But, isn't it said that Demacia is a closed country? They have no contact with the outside world at all."
Silko shook his head and said, "No, privately, Demacia actually has a lot of business dealings with Zaun. Demacia's policies, in the final analysis, only have an effect on civilians."
Li Ke listened with interest.
“It’s okay to do business with Demacia, but it will be difficult to form an alliance with them because we are too far away from the center of Valoran. Demacia has always only formed alliances with small surrounding countries. We rely on Noxar. Si, they will be wary of us.”
"But in private, I think it is feasible to promote some business with the nobles of Demacia. Take your time." Silko said to himself.
"I'll let Lenata do this. Jess, you can write me the required materials later and I'll give them to her."
Jess nodded: "Okay."
"Then, let me talk next." Myrna stood up and several issues in the community were discussed at the meeting.
Marna highlighted several shortcomings of Zaun's current community system. She believed that in the short term, the community system will not cause problems, but over time, the gap between communities and the happiness of Zaun people will decrease. Allowing people in the community to join together began to divide other places.
It’s not good, but it’s human nature and it’s hard to avoid.
Because when life is comfortable, humans will start to do a lot of stupid things, and Myrna has observed these things.
Li Ke looked at Myrna who spoke and was very surprised.
I remember that she became a council member because Zaun needed a council member who could get along with the people and really hear the voices of the Zaun people. So Marna, who was very friendly, was elected as a council member by the members of the Lianhua Gang.
But at that time, she was timid and would never express her opinions, but this year has passed.
Li Ke can only say that sometimes, people's potential is indeed unlimited.
"I know this. In the future, Zaun will expand its territory. The land behind Piltover that originally belonged to Noxus. I think it is very good. There will be more and more good places." Silko nodded and said .
Myrna sat back.
Heimerdinger stood up, "It's my turn, it's my turn!"
"Ahem, after my experiments, I found that Hex Technology is not so much borrowing magic as it is giving birth to magic. Hex Technology actually uses the power of runes to create the use of magic. < br>
But it's really dangerous, so Victor is right, Jace, Victor is right. ”
"Professor, I already know about this, and I also know that I was wrong at the time." Jace said speechlessly.
The Hex core, the only one among the thousands of Hex gems created by Victor, has been hidden underground in Zaun.
The rest are all Hex gems for normal use, and there is only one mutated Hex gem, because if you ask Victor to make another one, he won't know how to start. The fact that that thing was created is really a coincidence among coincidences.
"I'm not just saying this, I'm saying that I derived a new faction based on Jinx and Jace's ideas about Hextech."
Heimerdinger stood on the chair and raised his head. Seeing that everyone was still looking at him, he simply stepped on the table and loudly said: "Let Hex's magic give birth to life!"
"What does this mean?" Li Ke asked Heimerdinger.
"It means that the future Hex technology will allow machines to have life and self-awareness. Of course, I know this will be very dangerous, because if the machine loses control, ordinary people will not be able to stop it."
Heimerdinger put his little hands together and continued: "So we can engrave his mission on the runes to protect Piltover and Zaun. This is the future mission of Hex Life Technology."
< br>
"Wait a minute. Professor, did you create a dragon?" Li Ke looked at the excited Heimerdinger, suddenly thought of something, and asked.
No way.
Did Heimerdinger research the Hex Tyrannosaurus?
No, if that thing is really researched, wouldn't the combat power of the two cities break through the sky?
You must know that in the cloud top, the strength of the complete Hex Tyrannosaurus is far beyond that of three stars and four charges!
"Hey, Li Ke, how did you know? I should have never told anyone. Forget it. Anyway, Li Ke, you are right. I am indeed researching it, but... well, I only make it now. A little bit of scratching.”
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
"Professor, I very much agree with your idea, but I don't support allowing machines to have life and self-awareness." As he spoke, Li Ke suddenly paused and thought of Blitzcrank. After thinking about it, Li Ke changed his words: " Yes, but it cannot be produced in batches. ”
"When machines become self-aware, our generation may not be able to do anything about it, but as time goes by, they will only become more and more uncontrollable in the future. Machines were originally created to serve humans, but with self-awareness With their consciousness, it’s hard to say that they won’t have doubts about their mission in the future and have other ideas, right Professor?”
After hearing what Li Ke said, Heimerdinger was stunned for a moment, then frowned, then lowered his head. Finally, he nodded to Li Ke: "Yes, what you said makes sense, Li Ke."
< br>
"I almost forgot that you humans are not immortal species because of my long life."
Heimerdinger sat back and remained silent for the rest of the meeting, apparently thinking about his new invention.
Fandel also stood up and talked about Zaun's military system. However, because Zaun's population was still too small and people were needed in many places, there was no way to expand the size of the army.
But there is nothing we can do about it. Who made Zu An poor, poor, and chaotic in the past?
However, the problem raised by Fandel is actually the best to solve, because as the Zaun people live a happy life, the environment is safe, and they don't have to worry about the future, they will have children themselves.
After all, the people of Zaun are going to speak. Don’t we want to not have children? I can't!
If your own life is not guaranteed, let alone be responsible for a child's future.
Furthermore, didn’t you hear what Silko said just now that he would use the land behind him to build a new home in Zaun?
One by one, the congressmen finished talking about the matters they were responsible for, and then everyone looked at Li Ke.
"Look what I'm doing? I just came back and I don't understand anything." Li Ke looked at them and said speechlessly.
Silko said: "Li Ke, what do you think we should do between us and Noxus?"
"What should be done?"
Silko said in a deep voice: "Whether it is Zaun or Piltover, the councilors of both cities agree to be enemies of Noxus, because the wolf will only be afraid if it is fought, and the two cities have now concluded three principles. Possible routes.”
"First, show goodwill to Noxus, use some money in exchange for time, and strive for development."
"Second, participating in the Noai War, sneaking attacks on the rear of Noxus, causing trouble for them, and asking them to retreat is not a matter of fighting. It is not a stalemate. Of course, this is also buying time for our development, but doing so , we ourselves will also suffer great losses.”
"Third, a high-profile and comprehensive rejection of cooperation with Noxus."
Silko said and pursed his lips. This last point was also the thought of Jace and all the Piltover MPs.
Because Piltover is at a high place and Zaun is at a low place, Piltover is more afraid of the Noxians coming over. After all, if Noxus really comes over, then the first city-state to suffer will be Piltover. Twow.
This is also one of the reasons why Piltover fully helped Zaan and sincerely assisted Zaan after Li Ke disappeared.
You must know that in the past, Noxus and Zaun had many black markets, including weapons, potions, alchemy technology, ores, and various business exchanges.
So to be honest, the people of Piltover were too afraid that Zaun would abandon them and choose to join forces with Noxus.
As for Pi City going to show his goodwill first?
Damn, there are a bunch of bandits and robbers in Noxus. In front of them, Piltover is like a beauty wearing a golden gauze with all kinds of valuable accessories. What's the difference between going and giving away?
All the bones that are not swallowed are the goodness of Noxus!
Therefore, they knew that Piltover would be safe only if Zunan refused to cooperate with Noxus and completely stood on the opposite side of Noxus.
Jace hated politics, and he did fall in love with Zaun, but he always cared about Piltover, so he looked at Li Ke nervously.
And Li Ke said funnyly:
"Then let's do the third one."
"From today on, Zaun refuses to communicate with Noxus, and all the Noxians in Zaun are driven out of Zaun within three days, and they are not allowed to enter Piltover."
"Go back to where they came from."
"We should keep a low profile. They can't spare any time to attack us now. As for sending some trash fish, Fandel and I can handle it. So what are we afraid of them for?" Li Ke stretched out his hand. He slapped the table and continued:
"Everyone, there is no need to be humble when facing a big country. In the future, they are the ones to be afraid of."
"We'll see."
Under the firepower of artillery shells, the era of cold weapons and magic will become a thing of the past.
Of course, except for monsters and demigods, they are not within Li Ke's consideration.
But if you are an average mage and a strong warrior, facing hundreds of cannonballs flying from a distance, will you die?
Oh, if you don't die, then you are really a fucking idiot!
Li Ke is not exaggerating. Maybe Valoran belongs to Demacia and Noxus now, but in the future, Valoran's brightest place will definitely be the twin cities.
Piltover spent three hundred years evolving rapidly and ushered in the era of magic technology.
Zaun also spent three hundred years working steadily to create the shimmering alchemy technology.
But all this is just the beginning, just like it took humans a hundred years to move from the steam age to the electrical age, and from the electrical age to the information age, humans greatly reduced the time required.
The advancement of science and technology will speed up all this.
Piltover is only a small city-state, but its productivity is no less than that of the entire country of Noxus, and Zaun is also developing rapidly.
The current productivity and the upper limit of future potential are enough for Li Ke to say that the Twin Cities are the best cities.
Noxus or Demacia, let's see who will be the most powerful country on the road to Valoran in the future.
Come on, let’s see!
