He raised his hand high, and countless Zaun soldiers poured into the crowd, including Project Source soldiers, to arrest the surrendered war criminals.
Lin Luo stood quietly in the distance without interfering.
This is the reckoning that must end the war, and it is also the hatred hidden in the hearts of the Zaun people.
Many Piltover women had to pay the price of war and oppression.
"Arlo, have you completed your mission?"
At this time, Tata suddenly sent a private message.
It turned out that her ordinary war mission had been completed. The reason why she asked this was because she knew that Lin Luo's fundamental purpose of doing all this was that mission.
Unexpectedly, Lin Luo's answer surprised her.
"It's done, but not completely done."
This sentence has a bit of Riddler meaning, but it is true.
He now realized that the Twin City was called this because this place had more than one mission.
Yes, this was also discovered by Lin Luo not long ago.
At first, he thought that he only needed to complete Zaun's war mission so that he could receive extremely powerful rewards, and then it was over.
But now he understands that this is the city of twins.
Zaun and Piltover each have their own hidden major event missions.
Now that he has completed the Zaun War mission, there is obviously one more mission that he has not yet completed, which is Jace's mission to resolve the conflict in the Twin Cities.
That is Piltover's mission.
Tata said puzzledly:
"But the war is over."
Lin Luo shook his head and said:
"The war is over, which means that Zaun has completed its revolution, but what really threatens them, and even threatens the entire Twin Cities... is that thing!"
He suddenly turned his head and looked down at Piltover in the distance.
It was a poisonous cloud that had condensed into a sea of clouds and would not go away. It was a terrifyingly polluted environment caused by hundreds of years.
It separated Zaun from Piltover, turning it into a nightmare-like thick barrier.
If you zoom out and look at it from God's perspective, the twin cities are like a broken body. At the heart, there is a lingering poisonous cloud like a time bomb.
Lin Luo could expect such deadly pollution to occur in such a heartland.
It doesn't even take a hundred years, just a few decades. This pollution will completely make the Twin Cities necrotic, just like cancer cells spreading throughout the body. By then, it will not be Zaun or Piltover's problem, this will be
The most deadly crisis in the twin cities.
Lin Luo's interests are closely related to those of Twin Cities. If there is a problem here, his interests will also be damaged.
"If the dark cloud above Zaun persists, the root cause of the problem cannot be solved, and the people of Zaun will not be truly liberated."
Lin Luo frowned and said, he also thought of many other factors.
Victory in the Zaun War is undoubtedly a good thing.
But what about after victory?
It is impossible for all the people of Zaun to migrate to the upper city. This city-state cannot accommodate them, so the real conflict lies in how to resolve this poisonous cloud.
Only the root cause of the problem can be solved.
Only then can the city of Zaun truly become hopeful.
The more promising Zaun is, the greater the benefits he will gain from Zaun's waterway. This is closely related.
The other side of the battlefield.
With Piltover's surrender and defeat, the reckoning is underway.
Aman ran over from a long way away and showed an elated smile:
"Great, Lin, we finally won, thanks to your help!"
She knows best what she has experienced along the way.
Although the time they fought together was not long, nothing that happened during that time was unforgettable.
I still remember when we first met.
Aman is just a Zaun gangster who quietly harbors ideals. It was Lin Luo, his friends, and Dr. Victor who helped her.
This battle is definitely difficult.
She faced death threats and almost fell into pursuit of her ideals.
But now she has become one of the Source Project fighters.
She finally fulfilled her dream, climbed to the city openly, and won the war.
Lin Luo saw it for the first time.
Aman smiled so heartily that he was actually a little dazed.
Lin Luo smiled back and said:
"You're welcome, I have my reasons too."
Aman nodded. She followed Lin Luo's gaze and looked at the deep and rolling poisonous cloud.
She is not stupid, she is even a very smart person.
The smile on her face gradually disappeared, and her expression became serious.
"Oman."
Lin Luo suddenly looked at her and asked softly:
"Do you think victory in this war can really help those ditch orphans?"
Aman was stunned for a moment, and then she opened her mouth. She didn't know what to say for a while.
"The war is over, but there is one last thing we need to do. Only in this way can we save Zaun and resolve the conflicts in the entire Twin Cities."
Lin Luo said:
"Otherwise, the real suffering people in Zaun will not be liberated. The ones who will be liberated... are only those of us who won the war."
Aman's expression became thoughtful.
She suddenly realized that Lin Luo was right, but soon her expression turned pale:
"But according to what you say... what we need to face is not Mrs. Piltover... but the poisonous cloud of Zaun that has been accumulated for hundreds of years... But how can human power compete with nature?"
Yes, technology is progressive and powerful, but this is only relative to the human group.
Current humans cannot compete with nature.
For nature, any disaster such as tsunami, flood, earthquake is just a trivial matter, but it is a fatal blow to human beings.
That poisonous cloud is the result of centuries of accumulated pollution.
The Zaunites can defeat Lady Piltover, but how can they defeat the industrial pollution caused over the years?
"Yes, this is the conflict in Piltover that really needs to be resolved!"
at this time.
A calm voice came over.
Jess looked at Lin Luo solemnly and said:
"If this matter is not resolved, the conflict between Zaun and Piltover will one day happen again."
At this time, not only Lin Luo, but also Tata Maotou and others also understood.
It turns out that Zaun’s major event mission is to resist Piltover, while Piltover’s mission is to solve the damage caused by pollution over the years.
So far, Zuan's mission has been completed.
But Piltover's mission is not over yet.
"But this task...how can we complete it?"
Lin Luo also had a headache now. He frowned and looked at the billowing poisonous cloud.
Human power is limited. In this world filled with extraordinary powers, the power of nature is even more terrifying.
I am afraid that only the power involving the gods can compete with these natural forces.
This task may be said to be simple, but it is actually very simple. It is to disperse the lingering poisonous cloud, but it is difficult and extremely difficult. How to disperse it?
Lin Luo couldn't think of a way for a while.
The place fell into a brief silence. Lin Luo closed his eyes and thought a lot.
Then he seemed to have made some kind of decision, and he said with a serious expression:
"Jace, I really have no clue about this matter. I still have very important things to do right now. If I can't find a solution in a short time, then I have to leave here."
Lin Luo had already tried his best, and he had done his best to complete the Zuan mission this time.
Moreover, he has already obtained one-fifth of the Zaun trade rights he wanted, and it was all earned with blood.
As for Piltover's mission.
All I can say is, just try your best. If you really can’t think of a way, there’s no way.
Lin Luo looked around and saw that large numbers of Piltover war criminals were being escorted into Zaun. It felt like they were being sent to hell.
Aman watched this scene quietly, and she suddenly said in a condensed voice:
"You are right. I want to save those orphans from the ditch. Winning this battle is not enough. We must find a way to solve the poisonous cloud that covers the sky."
She suddenly looked far away.
Dr. Victor was talking to those Source Project soldiers.
She said firmly:
"I'll talk to Dr. Victor about this now!!"
…
…………
The time is half past four in the morning in Runeterra.
The ancient trading city of Zaun, which had been suppressed for hundreds of years, launched an unprecedented revolutionary resistance war against the progressive city of Piltover, and finally won the war.
This news spread like wildfire in a short period of time, quickly shocking the entire Runeterra.
A familiar name is heard again in Runeterra. It is said that the commander of the strongest adventurer army in the mainland played an absolute role in the war. That familiar name has not only spread throughout the game world, but also in the real world gaming circle.
Caused huge response.
But no one knows.
This person is facing a big problem at this time.
"How...how should we deal with that poisonous cloud over Zu'an?"
In the lobby of Sun Tower at this time.
All the core figures participating in the war gathered here.
After the war, the two cities returned to peace for the time being.
The post-war liquidation will be carried out by law enforcers, and these core figures took this issue into consideration.
Victor and Jace sat opposite each other in the lobby on the first floor of the Sun Building, and they both frowned.
At least after this war, the conflict between Victor and Jess has been resolved. They coincidentally thought of Lin Luo, so they started this meeting.
There were many people present, including players such as Linluo and Cathead Tata, as well as key plot characters from Zaun and Piltover.
These people are now joining forces to solve this last problem.
But this time.
In the lobby of Sun Tower, a person who had never appeared before appeared.
That was one of the founders of the city-state of Piltover.
Piltover's most respected inventor-Heimerdinger.
At this time he was sitting among everyone.
In the previous war, he did not participate in any side.
Maybe it was because it had gone through so long that it didn't want to get involved in the war, or maybe it was the leader of both sides. Jace and Victor were both his students, and he didn't want to favor anyone.
But in the final analysis, it now involves the matter of the Zaun Poison Cloud.
He still agreed to come forward.
Having said that, it refused at first, so Victor and Jess went to invite it out.
"Teacher, we really have no choice but to ask for your help."
Both Jace and Victor looked at Heimerdinger with helpless and pleading eyes.
In their eyes, the teacher is a wise man.
He has a long life and can see through the vicissitudes of life. Ignoring many things is not indifference, but seeing clearly the essence.
Heimerdinger is very much like the hidden ancestor in many old stories, silently watching everything that happens here, neither stopping nor taking action, nor helping anyone, but letting the two former students fight against each other.
There is a sense of transcendence and detachment.
But this time he had no choice but to be pulled out by two students.
That feeling of detachment suddenly disappeared, and it seemed to become a feeling that parents were helpless towards their children.
The two looked at the teacher pleadingly, clasped their hands, hoping he would help.
Heimerdinger clicked his tongue and shook his head with emotion. He suddenly said:
"This kind of thing is difficult to say, but it is actually very simple to solve. You are all outstanding scientists. It is impossible not to think of this. Or is it that you are too rigid and have forgotten the nature of science?"
Jace and Victor looked at each other blankly.
There was no way they could question Heimerdinger, the teacher's wisdom was unmatched by them.
So there must be some truth to this statement.
"Well……"
The two of them thought for a long time, wondering what the teacher wanted to say.
Victor asked bravely:
"Teacher, what is the essence of science you are talking about?"
Jess also looked at Heimerdinger with a curious look on his face, as if waiting for the other person to say some earth-shaking truth that would make them enlightened and enlightened.
Unexpectedly, Heimerdinger's face turned dark and he said:
"Have you never read the textbook?"
Victor was stunned and said:
"Ah...Teacher, are you talking about the contents in those books?"
Heimerdinger asked rhetorically:
"if not?"
The two looked at each other, still waiting for the teacher to say something big.
Heimerdinger sighed and said:
"Actually, some things are very simple, but you always want to complicate them. It is not knowledge that is particularly complicated and obscure. It is true knowledge that can simplify complex problems."
Victor's eyes suddenly flashed!
He is a genius. He suddenly thought of something, or maybe he had an epiphany.
"The teacher means... we need to have the essence of science, which is the so-called imagination, creativity, courage to try and perseverance?"
This is the essence of what a scientist must be.
A long time ago, scientists were not lofty people, but also very simple human beings. It was only because they had imagination, dared to try, and had creativity, coupled with their indomitable spirit, that they became so-called scientists.
In fact, if we take these into consideration, they are also ordinary human beings with flesh and blood.
That's why Heimerdinger said, don't complicate simple things. The same is true for people.
"Think about it carefully and apply science to practice. How do you think we can dispel that poisonous cloud?"
Heimerdinger asked rhetorically.
Victor and Jess looked at each other. They even looked at Lin Luo and others, which made the latter quite embarrassed. I'm not a scientist, so it depends on what I do.
"But our current technology is not enough to dispel or absorb the poisonous gas. Do we need to develop newer technology?"
Heimerdinger shook his head in disappointment:
"You two guys, it seems that the war has distracted you too much. War is indeed a bad thing, and you are no longer pure."
The two of them still completely believed in what the teacher said.
They lowered their heads in annoyance, each of them knowing clearly.
They are no longer purely scientific workers. They have been distracted a lot by the Twin Cities.
"Hong Shi, what do you think we should do?"
No one expected that Heimerdinger would suddenly call out such a name.
Actually.
Although it is sudden, it is not abrupt.
Because both Victor and Jess knew that Professor Heimerdinger had accepted a new student not long ago, which was not unusual.
Heimerdinger lived for hundreds of years and had many students.
Jace and Victor are just the best of one generation.
Hong Shi stood up immediately when her name was called, her expression looking a little nervous.
Victor stared at her in surprise.
Is this the teacher's new student now? She is a beautiful junior sister who is also an adventurer.
Jess, on the other hand, has become very familiar with Hong Shi through the past few days, and knows that she is also a scientific adventurer with great ideas.
"Senior Sister Hongshi, what do you think?"
If it's anyone else.
Jess will definitely be somewhat skeptical.
But Hong Shi does not. First of all, he trusts his teacher Heimerdinger, and he has no need to question the students recognized by Heimerdinger. Secondly, she is also engaged in scientific research. In science, she does not pay attention to seniority, only to
Talent and hard power.
Since the teacher asked her to speak, there must be a reason.
Hong Shi felt a little nervous. In fact, she had also thought about this issue carefully. Although she had not personally experienced the war, she followed Heimerdinger and witnessed everything, giving her a sense of openness as if she were a bystander.
She took a deep breath and said:
"I think the teacher is right. We can't make some things too complicated or be too academic. We should use the simplest and most direct method to solve the core problems..."
Jess and Victor nodded, expecting her to continue.
Hong Shi said slowly:
"Actually, this is also due to the teacher. I followed him and saw everything happening. I was also the first adventurer to come to the Twin City with my friends."
She pointed at Linluo Cat Head Tower. She was indeed one of the first people to come here.
Maotou and Tata seemed a little embarrassed. They served tea and drank, showing awkward but polite smiles.
"I think my partners actually knew what to do from the beginning, and maybe that's a coincidence."
Hong Shi's words made Jess and Victor a little confused.
"In the beginning? It was true or false! How could such a thing happen?"
Hong Shi suddenly showed a narrow smile, stretched out her hand to the cat's head, and introduced to everyone:
"Yes, my friend actually expected how to solve this problem from the beginning!"
Mao Tou was beaten to death but he didn't expect Hong Shi to come to him.
He was so anxious that he spit out a mouthful of tea on the spot, stood up quickly and said:
"Hongshi! You can't make this joke. I'm not a scientist. I didn't say anything!"
Victor and Jace looked at the cat's head in astonishment.
They were familiar with this guy, but they only knew that he was a potential mage, and they had no specific impression of him.
"This...Hong Shi, are you kidding me?"
Jace looked up and down the cat's head. No matter how you looked at it, this guy didn't look very smart.
Hong Shi shook her head and said:
"Of course I'm not joking. He mentioned it when he first came to Piltover. I think it's very constructive."
The cat's head suddenly widened its eyes!
What the hell did I say? Why don’t I remember it?
Only Lin Luo frowned.
He suddenly remembered something.
"Wait a minute... Hong Shi, are you talking about..."
Hong Shi's expression became serious, indicating that she was indeed not joking.
She looked at Lin Luo and said:
"That's right, it was Mao Tou's unintentional remark!"
…
Memory turns back time.
Back to my first day in Piltover.
Cat Tou, who was shocked by Hex's flying door, clicked his tongue and said:
"Guigui, you are a capitalist after all!"
He exclaimed in surprise:
"There is such an awesome space transfer technology, but it is only used to make money. How much do these people love money? I suggest digging a large channel under the sea, starting an undersea trade, and directly making three times the money. I
What do you think of the idea, does anyone invest in it?"
Not only did this memory image flash across Lin Luo's mind, Tata Cat Tou also had a very good memory.
They thought about it one after another, and then their expressions became extremely weird.
The cat head showed a ridiculous expression, waved his arms and said:
"Isn't it? I'm just joking, you won't take it seriously!"
Lin Luo frowned and said to Hong Shi:
"Do you mean that you can use the space transfer technology of Hex Flying Gate... to transfer Zaun's poisonous gas?"
This idea is indeed a bit unexpected.
But Jace and Victor were stunned for a moment, and then fell into serious thinking.
"No, Hong Shi."
Jess suddenly raised his head and said:
"Hex's flying door teleportation technology can only be used on living things. Simply put, it can only be used by humans. Those poisonous gases cannot be transferred."
Hong Shi shook her head and said:
"No, what I mean is whether to transport the poisonous cloud away, what's behind is the key!"
Jess and Victor looked at each other at the same time!
"You mean...digging a hole?"
They looked at the cat head with a very suspicious expression:
"Hong Shi, are you kidding?"
Although they were talking to Hong Shi on the surface, it was obvious that they really questioned Mao Tou.
This made Maotou's face turn red immediately, but the key point was that he was still speechless.
Hong Shi shook her head and said with a serious expression:
"It's not about digging a hole. To be precise, it's about opening a channel deep into the seabed, introducing poisonous gas into the seabed, and temporarily solving Zaun's environmental problems. This is a bad idea, but it is also the only idea that can be done in the short term and can be successful.
"
At this time, Jace and Victor both looked at Heimerdinger.
"But doctor, will doing this...will lead to other consequences?"
The depths of the seabed are unknown. Will doing this lead to any terrible deep-sea monsters?
Heimerdinger said solemnly:
"You just need to remember that science has a price. Even if you develop new technologies that can purify poisonous gases and transform substances, the price will slowly show up in another way. This is an irreversible truth."
He simply said:
"So based on this conclusion, humans can't completely change anything. All they can do is exercise restraint. And from a human standpoint, this is indeed a method that can work in the short term."
