Chapter568 The founder of the Twin Cities is none other than Ben Malphite!
The afternoon meeting started on time at two o'clock, and everyone returned to the convention and exhibition center.
This time, the projection screen above the tabernacle changed into a giant architectural blueprint. This time, Lester saw shock on the faces of everyone on the first floor. Obviously, the Zaun Council had not disclosed the relevant situation to anyone before.
This is also the first time it has been made public.
Terrence was very satisfied with the expressions on everyone's faces and said proudly.
"This is a giant sea gate jointly designed by a group of top engineers from our Zaun Council. It's called the [Sun Gate]. I believe you all have seen how complicated the Sun Gate is.
This is an extremely huge project. According to our conservative calculations, to complete the construction of the Sun Gate in the Zuan Strait will require tens of thousands of people to work simultaneously, and the construction time will take at least three full years."
"You will definitely not be satisfied with such a result, right, Mr. Terrance?"
Terrence smiled slightly and raised his index finger to the serious-looking businessmen.
"Of course, every day of delay is an unimaginable loss for Zaun. As the shortest sea passage between the east and west continents, the Zaun Council will never allow the Sun Gate project to be delayed for three years.
One year, at most one year, the basic framework of the Sun Gate must be completed and reach a basic navigable state. After that, the Sun Gate can be gradually improved. This is a problem that you need to discuss and solve through technical personnel. Next
, I will introduce the basic engineering and advanced engineering of Sun Gate in detail..."
When it came to the technical seminar for engineers in the second half of the afternoon, Lester said hello to the sleepy Kelsey and left the venue through the back door. He was only interested in the structure of the Sun Gate. As for the
How Zaun's craftsmen would build it was beyond his concern.
"I don't know how Heimerdinger and Teemo are doing now. They didn't come to see me, so they probably didn't encounter any trouble."
Lester, who had nothing to do, was about to go to the science and technology exhibition in the east courtyard to look for Heimerdinger, but he saw Heimerdinger rushing over with a listless Teemo behind him.
"Leister! Lester! I have been hired as an honorary professor of the Academy of Sciences by Vice President Fast!"
The moment the words fell, a fatal sense of oppression swept over him.
Timo suddenly opened his half-lidded eyes, his exhausted body trembled and stood up straight on the spot, tightly holding the blowgun at his waist.
The Yodels instinctively turned their gaze to the direction of danger. Facing the sunset, the man who was originally friendly to Hexi seemed to be smiling, but at the same time he seemed to have an indifferent face at all. The half of his face exposed in front of him was completely shadowed.
Shrouded and abandoned by the gentle sunset, it is like the most terrifying nightmare abyss.
Rubbing his eyes, Timo didn't know if he had an illusion, because he had never seen little Laini like this.
"Oh, then congratulations, it seems I will have to call you Professor Heimerdinger from now on."
The terrifying atmosphere that had stagnated for a moment disappeared as soon as the man spoke, as if he had never appeared before. Lester slightly changed the angle of his face, regaining his former Hexi smile.
The subtle changes finally failed to escape Teemo's eyes. He turned to look at Heimerdinger, who was a little nervous and was immersed in joy and did not notice the change in the atmosphere. He carefully pulled Heimerdinger's little hand.
Lest your friend get too carried away and continue to offend Xiao Laini.
It was obvious that the well-intentioned Little Laini had long had the idea of inviting Heimerdinger to the Emerald Territory for study and research. At this moment, Heimerdinger, who accepted Little Laini's help, excitedly agreed directly to the deputy dean of the college.
Stur wants to stay in Zaun. Even from the perspective of the yordle's somewhat unconventional moral standards, such behavior is a bit ungrateful.
"Professor Heimerdinger? It sounds good. Although I prefer the title of great inventor you gave me, the professor is not bad either... By the way, how long are you going to stay in Zaun this time? Teemo has already found him
The fluorescent mushroom seeds I want are going back to Bandle City to plant invisible mushrooms. Do you want to go back to Bandle City with him?"
Ignoring the noisy Heimerdinger, Lester looked at the embarrassed Teemo.
"Are you leaving now? Don't you want to stay for a while?"
Teemo scratched his head, suddenly feeling a little more guilty. Maybe he shouldn't have brought Heimerdinger to Zaun at all. No matter it was Heimerdinger or Laini, he couldn't let him go. The gap between the two was due to
The result he least wanted to see.
Unfortunately, he was not sure for a while whether Lenny really harbored a grudge, and Heimerdinger was completely unaware, so even if he tried to mediate, he couldn't do anything.
"Little Laini, I'm sorry. Although I also want to stay a few more days, I still have work to do in Bandle City. I can't let Tristana patrol Bandle Forest for me all the time. She is good at dealing with entities with entities.
Intruders are somewhat powerless against those little monsters composed of magical elements."
"Well, it seems that you do have a reason to go back. I still need to stay here for a while. I'm afraid I won't be able to go with you this time."
Before Teemo could speak, Heimerdinger excitedly spoke.
"Then you stay here for now, Lord Lester, and tell me when you want to go to Bandle City. I will contact Nora for you and ask her to open the portal in Zaun. Wait for you to leave from Bandle City."
After coming out of Del City, I decided to follow you to visit Fidelite."
"Let's talk about it then."
After taking a deep look at Heimerdinger, Lester said goodbye to the two yordles.
Before the blast in the strait, he decided to leave time to Loy, who had not yet transformed into human form.
…
More than six months later, dense chemical explosives were installed on both sides of the Zaun Strait. The Zaun fleet took the initiative to block the waterways at both ends of the strait. Hundreds of merchant ships floated on the sea, waiting for Zaun's earth-shattering news.
That loud noise.
Fifty-two scattered locations are covered with explosives. Electric detonators are connected to the wires from north to south, and detonations are carried out individually in a prescribed order. This is to avoid the explosives from causing a martyrdom between the explosives and causing a complete explosion.
Losing control, after all, there is a limit to the rock's ability to bear,
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Except for Lester, no one knows what the results of this blasting project will be, and Lester has already ordered through Kelsey to let
All members of the Emerald Territory forces boarded ships and stayed away from both sides of the strait.
Naturally, this does not include Connor Fellowes, who has more important work to do.
[You can do it, Connor. Don’t let Mr. Kelsey and the adults of the Emerald Territory down. This is your only chance to stand up. Don’t make any mistakes. Maybe I should have someone check the lines and blasting points again...
Damn it, it’s a blue flag, is it about to start? I’m too anxious.】
On land ten miles away from the strait, the team of engineers led by Connor saw the color-changing signal flag on the Zaan through the telescope.
As an observation ship, the Zaun will issue a series of orders to ensure the smooth progress of the blasting.
At the same time, a part of the tandem explosives located on the north shore began to emit black smoke. After the explosives burned briefly, the violently reacting explosives rapidly expanded and reached the critical point.
“Boom boom boom!
"
The hundred-meter-long rock split apart instantly, turning into deadly rubble in the eruption of fire and shooting towards the sea. The northern shore of the strait was like a giant snake shedding its skin, with pieces of split rock falling off and smashing out on the sea.
One by one, huge water splashes.
An obvious earthquake could be felt on the slightly shaking ground on the north shore. Fortunately, an earthquake of this magnitude was within the expectations of engineers, and the first blast did not cause other disasters.
The terrifying sound spread throughout the Zaun Strait, making the hearts of all those who had been prepared for it jump. When the explosion completely disappeared and the earth returned to calm, countless Zaun people cheered. For every Zaun person,
This is a good beginning.
On the tallest building on the west bank of Nancheng District, Lester put down the wine glass in his hand and took a sip into the oncoming breeze, his eyes introverted.
The signal flag issued the command for the second time, and the explosion came again, and countless boulders collapsed again. Connor wiped the sweat from his forehead and calculated the time to start blasting.
As the third explosion came to an end, the load-bearing rocks on the north shore collapsed completely. The turbulent Kilometer Strait successfully widened the sea channel by dozens of meters. As long as the rocks under the sea surface were cleared slightly, the channel could receive three times the number of ships as before.
Throughput... But in the eyes of the Zaun Council, the canal is still not wide enough.
During the severe earthquake, the Peart River was diverted from the southwest to the southeast, causing no major damage except for a small area of coastal buildings being flooded.
So far, everything seems to be under the control of the Zaun Council.
"It's South Bank's turn now."
At noon, under Connor's watchful eye, the signal flag gave the order again.
The person in charge of the project in charge of the relevant area depressed the detonator, and the billowing smoke rose into the sky again. The ground on the south bank began to shake amidst the rumbling sound, and it calmed down again after ten minutes.
It was as smooth as ever, and every near miss interpreted the great wisdom of science. The Zaan people who were originally a little worried were completely relieved this time. Compared with magic that can easily get out of control, rigorous scientific calculations are more worthwhile.
rely.
With the signal flag raised, the fifth section in charge of the Philos family entered the final preparations for blasting.
"It's our turn, check if the line is damaged?"
"The line is not damaged and the connection is normal!"
The engineer's order gave Connor enough confidence and confidence that the leader of Feros issued the order loudly.
"Start blasting!"
"boom!
"
The explosion in the distance caused the ground to shake again. In Leicester's hand, he had drank more than half of a glass of blood-red dragon blood wine [Valkyrie Blood Rose]. The man squinted his eyes, looking for
There are traces of bluebirds.
The more things came to him, the more urgent they became, but in the anxiety of not getting what he wanted, he gained some kind of understanding. This understanding dispelled his disgust for Heimerdinger. Now that he thinks about it, his previous darkness
The idea is a bit too petty.
It doesn't matter if Heimerdinger chooses Zaun, or if he doesn't choose the Emerald Territory, it actually doesn't have much impact on Lester. What he covets is just the technological value that Heimerdinger can produce. He is the same in Zaun.
You can get what you want to get.
Just because you can’t get something now doesn’t mean you won’t get it later, and the things you get in the future may not be worse than what you get now.
The so-called overall view is nothing more than standing in the right position and stubbornly doing something that seems to have no reward. As long as the position is right and the direction is right, all losses will be fed back in another form in the future.
And what he lacks most is time.
Just like Janna who has never appeared, it is still unclear whether this wind elf belongs to Zu Anhai.
"Malphite, I really didn't expect that it was you who created the Twin Cities. You really are a fool of fate."
The sixth, seventh, and eighth explosions came one after another, the sounds became quiet, and the cheers that resounded in the sky came from the sky above the city.
Lester heard the sound of collapse deep in the earth.
After drinking the contents of the cup in one gulp, the man laughed, threw away the cup, and directly picked up the crystal decanter made in Noxus and raised it high.
"People of Zu'an, have you heard this? This is the cry that belongs to the earth. The disaster of the void that stone people have blocked from you has come to you in another way because of your greed."
“Hoo ho ho!
"
A strong wind blew by, and a wind elf with a pair of delicate long ears fell from the sky. Her fair and tender bare feet were suspended above the ground. Janna descended in front of the man lightly, her face full of pity and apology.
and inexplicable emotions.
She was originally an elf born in the wind of saving faith and change. She was seriously injured and dissipated due to exhaustion. However, she did not regain a new life in the land under her feet for hundreds of years, because the prosperous and peaceful Zaun did not need the wind.
save.
The people of Zaun need money.
Therefore, when the earth was about to collapse, she chose the other side.
In this land she protects, she can only hear the call and longing of one person. The power of faith gives her the power of rebirth. Looking around, Zaun is full of greed and lust.
, although there have been changes, it is no longer pure.
The wind elf finally chose another path.
This longing was so clear, like a bright lamp in the eternal night, illuminating her direction.
This call made her understand that in this world, there is someone who has been caring about her, treating herself as a person who is difficult to let go, rather than a god who can come and go as soon as he is called.
When he comes, the wind becomes warmer and doesn't want to leave for a long time.
The man drank the dragon's blood wine in several sips and stood up.
"Jana, do you miss me?"
Without speaking, the elf just nodded. Then the man stepped forward and hugged the elf tightly. The breeze messed up his breathing. Another strange power made Janna feel the heat that belongs to humans. This is not the power of faith.
But it is far more powerful than the power of faith and makes people intoxicated.
"I know what you want to do, and I won't stop you, never. I just want you to know that even the wind has its way back, and this is your forever home."
