Chapter 17: Orianna who loves to hear stories
"Glorious Evolution...... I don't understand, I feel so powerful. Orianna lay on her workbench and listened with interest to Jeno's storytelling, which she loved to hear.
Orianna's happiest thing is to go to the opera house with her father, which is also a way for her to interpret the story, and then she also fell in love with dance, because body language can also interpret a story, and it is more beautiful and moving, but without a dance teacher, she can only explore it by herself.
"Victor's research has always focused on eliminating the human part of the process, and he has done research that the vast majority of accidents in Zaum's workshop are human error, not mechanical failure."
"So he invented automation?"
"That's right." Receiving Jeno's affirmation, Oriana smiled contentedly.
"There was once a large-scale alchemy material leak in Zu'an, which harmed the whole city, yes, Zu'an is so much of a disaster. Britz is an autonomous robot developed by Victor during this period with automatic mechanical technology and a series of cognitive learning cycle instructions, and its work is ...... The cleaning and recycling of highly toxic alchemy waste is something that ordinary people can't do, so Britz is actually a cleaner, and if you often sit on the screech, you may have a chance to see it hitchhiking on the iron shelf outside the screech. ”
"Oh roar! It's so interesting, the combination of a welder and a cleaner...... Honestly, I haven't seen these two gods with my own eyes. ”
Jeno often calls Victor by nicknames such as welder and three-handed, so Orianna is misguided, but it is particularly easy to pronounce in Valoran.
"If you actually meet, you may be scared, and that is a scientist who has no feelings."
Jeno smiled and continued to talk about Victor's experience:
Although the contamination of the alchemical substance was controlled, Victor still chose to stay in Zaun to help those who were poisoned. With Britz's help, he tried to save those who were dying using the innovative methods of the Zaun Academy of Science and Magic, which was the prototype of the now popular Hex-augmentation surgery, which replaced the broken parts with mechanical ...... His attempt was ultimately unsuccessful, but through this operation, he fully studied the technique of combining human anatomy with technological components, and learned how ordinary bodies should be strengthened by technology. ”
"Wait! What do you mean...... Hex-enhanced surgery was pioneered, improved and popularized by Victor?! ”
Oriana slapped the table in surprise and interrupted Jano.
"Suffice it to say, he's the most famous, but he's not the only one who knows this technology, and now he's basically a Zuan scientist who knows something about augmentation."
"No wonder my father has always been prejudiced against Victor, it turns out that the two of them are rivals! are making money for people with disabilities, no wonder business has been getting worse and worse since I was born, it turns out that it's all because of Victor......"
——
To correct here, Victor doesn't actually make money, he has always helped patients perform surgeries at low prices, and he will give free to those who are desperate and poor, and some of his funds come from the after-the-fact repayment of those he helps.
Compared with the Clockwork Power Unit and the Hex Reinforcement, the former is exquisite, has a good experience, can be freely disassembled but expensive, and is more like a custom for the rich, while the latter is highly targeted, specially designed to adapt to various high-risk jobs, but much cheaper, so in comparison, most will choose the more cost-effective latter, provided that you don't mind the ugly feeling of the rough combination of machinery and flesh and the severe pain during surgery.
Speaking of which, some people may have some questions: isn't Hextech supposed to be expensive? How did it become cheaper?
What Victor uses on patients is actually alchemy technology, which is very similar to Hextech, the only difference is that the power is different.
Hextech is powered by Hex Crystals, and Alchemy is powered by the energy generated by the reaction of chemicals, which is much cheaper than using Hex Crystals, and is very popular in Zaun, so you can often see people with augmentations, who often carry a tube containing alchemy liquid and many tubes that extend out.
Zu'an is also because of the existence of alchemy lamps and various alchemy workshops, and the entire city is shrouded in green light and haze, and it is green and faint everywhere, and the green is panicked.
Of course, things cannot be perfect, and behind the cheapness of this alchemy technology lies huge hidden dangers, flammable and explosive, unstable, highly toxic and so on...... In the final analysis, it is because of the existence of alchemy technology that Zu'an has so many disasters.
But there is no way, Zuan is poor and can't afford to use Hextech, which has a lot to do with Piltover. The reason why I am poor will not be mentioned for the time being, and I can't finish 10,000 words, and the author of 10,000 words will have to code for three days......

"Mr. Colin doesn't know Victor, does he?"
"Yes, I heard that they are from the same generation, and they have been in the same laboratory together before. I also peeked at the diary my father had hidden, which said...... Today, on an unlucky day, my project was snatched away by Victor, and the girl I liked was fascinated by Jace again! Damn, I cursed them for not bringing paper to the toilet, only acid-base test strips! ”
Orianna blushed about her father's dark history, and then laughed and lay on the workbench, her shoulders shaking, she had too little contact with her peers, and her short college career left her with few friends, and this was a suitable opportunity for her to share these troubles.
Jeno also had that picture in his head, well, it's picturesque. I didn't expect Mr. Colin to have such an acidic time, and the acid-base test strip should have given him a test of how acidic his acidity was.
"And then?"
"Later, the curse didn't take effect, but Victor broke with Jace in a way that his father didn't know."
"Alright, let's move on to the topic."
After Orianna could hold back her laughter, Jeno began to tell again:
Speaking of Jace, he was also one of the reasons why Victor broke with the academy when they worked together on a project to improve the wetsuit. Their improved wetsuits allow the wearer to dive deeper, stay longer, and lift heavier objects. But many divers said they had seen glowing apparitions of the dead underwater, or were tormented by the hallucinogenic effects of alchemical poisons. When divers experience this symptom, they panic and kill themselves or other divers. ”
"Is this a hallucination caused by poisoning?" Orianna wondered.
"This is a mental illness, deep-sea phobia, where people always have an inexplicable sense of fear when faced with the unknown."
"Like I see some people scared to sit and scream? They are afraid of heights. ”
"Acrophobia, it's a little different, but it's pretty much the same."
Orianna smiled smugly because she had learned a few new words and gained knowledge, while Jeno had adjusted the context and said in a deep voice:
Victor believes that it is not a technical problem, but that the divers have a nervous breakdown in the dark and deep water that causes the frequent underwater accidents. To this end, he designed an alchemical helmet that could be guided by an operator on the surface, ignoring the diver's fear reactions, equivalent to complete control of the diver. ”
This time, Jeno took the initiative to stop, ready to see how Oriana reacted.
