Chapter 15 Repair of prosthetic limbs
"That is to say, how could a weapon of this level be developed by a Zuan person, it will definitely cause panic among the top brass of Picheng, if he really wants to save Zuan, he shouldn't make this statement, isn't it good to do it in private? I have to send it out for everyone to know. Chasing fame and fortune is a character that a scientist should have! Alas...... I'm afraid that another one will talk big and gain popularity. ”
Mrs. Thompson sighed and patted her shoulder, helping Orianna straighten her delicate headband, which was somewhat loose.
In the scientific atmosphere of the progressive city of Piltover, it is normal for an old woman and a little girl to talk about the frontiers of science and technology.
"I guess there is something hidden, a lack of funds or a shortage of materials, and I want to attract the attention of those speculators through the newspaper. Mrs. Thompson, I think I've found the cause of the prosthetic failure, and you should avoid wearing these clothes that are prone to shedding. ”
Oriana's examination of Mrs. Thompson had been completed, and the reason why her prosthetic leg had failed was because some of the wool on her clothes had burrowed into the inside of the prosthesis and stuck one of the gears that controlled her thumb, causing the transmission to break, and all that was needed was to clean up the wool, drip lubricating it, and replace some old parts.
"Secrets? Why do you think so, Oriana, not everyone is as kind as you. ”
The old woman kept her right arm still so that Orianna could use tweezers to clip the wool out between the gears, which might take a little time.
"Hmm...... Because Jeno had said that Victor wasn't that kind of person, they seemed to know each other. ”
"Jeno...... Who is it? Mrs. Thompson was at a loss.
"It's a friend of mine who I just met yesterday, and you see, he's striking iron at the workbench."
Jeno heard Oriana's introduction to him, and turned around at the right time to give Mrs. Thompson a grey smile, his face inevitably stained with some toner as he struck the iron.
Mrs. Thompson squinted and tried to crane her neck to look at Jeno, but Oriana grabbed her arm.
"The maintenance is not complete yet, don't mess around."
"Oriana, you have a good eye, the young man is very handsome, but he is a little thinner, but most of the people in Zuan are thin, and he can gain weight by adding more food to him."
Mrs. Thompson looked at it for a while, and finally gave her evaluation, Jeno's first impression looked quite good, with good facial features, a white beard, black eyes calm and deep, the corners of his mouth curled just right, no scribbling on his face with strange paint makeup, and no earrings and nose studs or anything.
"Mrs. Thompson, your beauty is no less than that of Oriana."
Speaking is an art, and Jeno praised the two women in one sentence.
"Oh, the young man has honey on his mouth, it is sweet to the heart, the people of Zuan often lack such qualities as you."
If you want to gain the favor of a Picheng person in communication, you only need to praise her a few words, and the Zuan people speak more directly, which is one of the reasons why the Picheng people don't like the Zuan people.
"Mrs. Thompson is not mistaken, Jano and I are just ordinary friends, we just met yesterday." Orianna emphasized.
"And what are you blushing about?" Mrs. Thompson quipped.
"How can I have!!"
Mrs. Thompson smiled silently at Oriana's quibble, and after a while Oriana's face became even more rosy.
She couldn't help but sigh, it's good to be young.
"You said you only met yesterday, Oriana, did you go to Zaun?"
"yes? What's wrong? I went to Zaun to meet Jeno. ”
"What's the matter with that guy Colin? How would you be allowed to go to that kind of place? ”
Mrs. Thompson angrily scolded Colin, saying that the bastard boy did not fulfill his duties as a father, and the older generation was like this, reluctant to scold the child, and only scolded the parents for not being strict in discipline.
"I walked without my father's permission...... He didn't know it at first. ”
Oriana's eyes were a little evasive, and after a night of contemplation, she realized how irresponsible her actions were.
"It's too dangerous, you don't know...... The patients who were gathered at the Zuan Center did not escape even if they only inhaled some poisonous gas and put on respirators, and their internal organs were corroded, and then they died a painful and slow death......
Jeno stopped striking the iron, he had confirmed that he was poisoned, but he didn't know when it would be poisoned, and Oriana was safe and sound.
"I think you need to check it out, I know a witch doctor from Freljord, would I like to take you there?"
"I'm sorry Mrs. Thompson, but I need to see the store today."
Oriana shook her head and rejected Mrs. Thompson's offer, subconsciously not believing in non-scientific methods.
Mrs. Thompson didn't say anything more, and the part of the communication that had been divided was returned, and Oriana's work immediately sped up a lot, and the maintenance of the prosthetic leg was quickly completed.
Mrs. Thompson moved her right arm as if it were a real one, and she took a sip of sweet milk from her prosthetic leg, and showed no further signs of trembling.
She was overjoyed and hugged Oriana as a token of gratitude:
"Thank you, child, I feel that I am full of strength now, and I will go back and wrestle with the old man! May the gears turn forever. ”
"May the gears turn forever."
After seeing off Mrs. Thompson, Oriana took a deep breath to adjust her mood, and then went straight to Jeno and pulled out her copy of the daily Picheng from her workbench.
Colin reads the newspapers, and if Oriana wants to get the latest news from the Twin Cities, she can just flip through the workbench, which must have the newspapers Colin reads.
"Victor, a Zuan scientist, claims to have invented the storm aggregator and named it 'Jana'!"
"That's a coincidence, isn't it?"
The newspaper moved down, and a pair of suspicious eyes stared at Jeno who was casual: "Say!" Did you do it? ”
Legend has it that Jana once used a hurricane to blow poison gas to save Zaun, and if Victor really wanted the machine to save Zauna, it was true that there was nothing wrong with naming it Cana, just like Jana did again, but Orianna always felt that there was something strange about it.
"Huh? If I say yes, will you give me a reward? ”
"I can take you out for some fun, go shopping in Leather City and something like that, but only after you've finished the test."
"Sounds like going on a date?"
"Not a date! Don't think about it!! Tell me about the plan! I can't wait to know the truth! And you just listened to me and Mrs. Thompson, two outsiders, a serious analysis, are you snickering? Do you have?! If you snicker, you're going to die! ”
Ollie puffed out her cheeks and rolled the newspaper into a big stick and slammed it on Jeno's head, with an attack speed of 5.0 and five knives in one second.
"Isn't it, isn't it, why are you beating people?" Jeno picked up the hammer in his hand and struck it back, only to make Oriana retreat with her head in her hands.
He put down the hammer in his hand and spoke slowly:
"As you can imagine, the storm aggregator does not exist, but once the plan is successful, not only will the poisonous fog be completely dispersed in the short term, but even the notorious haze weather in Zu'an can be effectively improved, and this phenomenon can be effectively improved, which is a long-term phenomenon."
