Caitlin still has a lot of things to do today. Not only does she need to prepare a detailed report, but she also needs to report privately to Lambert Smith about the phenomenon of Shenhu forces causing wars everywhere in Zaun.
After adding a few more points, Caitlin drank up Chai Anping's milk in one breath: "I suggest you pay more attention to the Hood family. Myrdalda's attitude is understandable, but it's unreasonable for them to be so excited..."
"I think so."
"Beware the War Masons."
Caitlin stood up and stretched to leave, and gave Chai Anping a heads-up.
She turned around and caught a glimpse of Nina. She had a lot of affection for the lady who danced with her, and Caitlin smiled at her.
Nina:……
Is this showing off? Or is this being proud?!
Nina Raphael secretly gritted her teeth and clenched her fists as she watched Caitlin leave.
When Caitlin completely disappeared around the corner, she immediately rushed over angrily, grabbed a piece of bread from Chai Anping's plate and turned away.
Chai Anping:????
What are the two of them doing? How come they have no food to eat?
I had no choice but to call the waiter and order another meal. Anyway, it was my own canteen.
After eating and drinking, he put away the report and thought about what to do next. The two bodyguards sent by the Piltover Police Department (actually traitors) had something to do and the other fell to the ground. He wanted to let them go today.
It's a little impractical to investigate on your own.
"Let's take a walk around first."
He originally planned to go to Pi City yesterday evening to experience the customs and customs of Pi City, so it would be a good idea to go out today.
To be honest, he still wants to meet Kemp Hood to see what their mentality is.
He returned to his room and quickly put on his moonlight sword, then went out alone.
Piltover is a metropolis with the highest population mobility in the world, so it naturally enforces a ban on weapons. However, due to the high technology tree, the people of Piltover are not afraid of outsiders holding swords and halberds. Such cold weapons
If it is confiscated by the Piltover guards, the reason is most likely because of "uglifying the image of the city" or "making materials against humanity."
Moreover, nobles in many countries also have the habit of wearing "ceremonial swords". An open city like Pi City always seeks common ground while reserving differences, and the moonlight sword is obviously not within the scope of attack.
During the day, there are many craftsmen coming and going on the streets of Piltover. Because the evolution day is approaching, all the workshops or the apprentices who have not joined a certain family are working hard to create their own inventions.
As long as the invention is recognized by a certain family and can be further developed and used, an unknown apprentice craftsman can quickly become a rising star in the city.
The "patent" is enough for them to make a lot of money.
For example, Midalda holds the patent for Hinanomon Sea Lock piston technology. He has a share of the toll paid by every ship!
Chai Anping was walking on the street, and the appearance of an exotic nobleman and gentleman attracted a lot of attention to him.
There are various strange devices, some of which are tens of meters high against the wall. The nested rings are like some kind of globe that is rotating tirelessly. At the bottom is an equipment like a power supply base station, with brass-colored pipes flowing along it.
With machinery connected to the building, classical architecture and advanced machinery form a harmonious unity.
A scholar holding a two-meter-high mechanical scepter and wearing a plain robe walked across from Chai Anping. He was followed by a group of people. After Chai Anping inquired, he learned that they were going to a lecture in a square somewhere.
"What's that scepter?"
He looked at the strange-shaped scepter and asked curiously.
"That's the 'Pioneer Cane' given by the Academy of Sciences and making a significant contribution to Piltover. Did you see the ingenious designs on the top of it?" A passerby said: "That's a precious Hex technology creation that took several years to build.
, each Pioneer Cane has a unique ability, and legend has it that some Pioneer Canes even have energy circulation channels that can perfectly drive the Hex Gem."
"Oh...that's awesome."
"The person in front of you is a vice president of Clock Academy named Brooke Jonathan."
“Thanks for letting me know!”
"By the way, they are about to go to Boxue Square to participate in a symposium on 'The role of capital in promoting scientific research and development'. Even laymen can understand it. If you are interested, you may want to go and listen."
Passers-by enthusiastically gave Chai Anpingli: "At that time, there will be more than a dozen highly respected scholars debating, hey... or swearing. This is one of the few times when you can see these masters blushing!"
Chai Anping, who had no destination in the first place, raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and finally became interested.
"Can anyone attend the symposium?"
"Of course! Everyone in Pi City is qualified to receive culture!" The local smiled proudly: "The scholars specially placed the venue in the square and used this method of ostentation in order to attract more people to watch."
"As expected of Piltover!"
atmosphere!
After thanking the passers-by again, Chai Anping quickly followed the crowd.
Such an academic atmosphere is undoubtedly enough to be the envy of all countries, but this kind of open and taboo-free private discussion is likely to be a virus that all feudal monarchs hate and fear.
Chai Anping was pleasantly surprised that this kind of form that could not exist in the past could actually obtain the soil for vigorous growth in Piltover.
He somewhat understood why Caitlin said last night that a city like this was worth looking forward to.
As the parade progressed, the crowd following them grew larger and larger, and many people gathered together to discuss the upcoming issues in low voices. Chai Anping also listened to some of it——
It seems that the main discussion today will be about the antagonistic relationship between capital and scientific research. In particular, academics with dreams express strong opposition, while some technicians who have tasted the benefits refute the benefits of large workshops.
"If nothing else, it's admirable that the Piltover Chamber of Commerce family allows this kind of topic to exist."
He sighed silently, feeling his head hurt when he thought that his potential enemies were such rational and cunning business elites.
About half an hour later, the crowd finally arrived at a square.
A majestic robot stood in the square, with only its upper body intact. It was covered with retro copper-brown skin, and its modified face looked particularly cute.
"The first generation giant machine-001"
The stone tablet in front of it introduces its information.
On the other side of the square, tables and chairs prepared for scholars had already formed a circle, and a huge crowd gathered together.
As soon as they saw new scholars arriving, they quickly moved out of the way.
Brooke Jonathan expressed her gratitude to those around her, and the pioneer cane struck the ground with a metallic clang.
Chai Anping took advantage of the passage and silently squeezed to the front row to look at the remaining big guys sitting in the seats.
