On the second day, Lester, who was far away in the black alley of Zaun, received research materials from Night's Blade, including but not limited to rubbings of the Tallis family's research notes, the experimental environment and experimental equipment of the Yodel Academy that night, and even what runes Jace used to prove Hex's technological doctrine.

After a day of comparison and sorting, Lester finally understood where the research of the empire had gone wrong.

The focus of the empire's Hex technology theory is to use foreign objects to inscribe rune circles, and then use Hex crystals for energy, while Jace's Hex technology theory boldly and directly uses Hex crystals as the circle carrier, and uses energy resonance to stably output magical energy, so that Hex crystals can independently generate and stimulate magic runes, so as to achieve a perfect and unified effect.

Compared with Jace's Hextech theory, the Empire's Hextech theory cannot be said to be a failure, it can only be said to have fallen into a trap and is not creative.

Since the research paths of the two sides have been different from the beginning, it is no wonder that the Empire has not been able to complete the construction of the teleportation gate with Hex Crystals or even better Life Crystals.

"Send this information to the Imperial Research Institute as soon as possible, within a week, I want to see the feasibility plan of the Hex Teleportation Flying Door, and within half a year, I want to see the real thing."

The information that had just been covered and then the path of the Starry Sky Gate was transferred to Fidwright by the Night Blade, and with the foundation of the Hex technology theory of another branch, it was not too much of a problem for the Noxian Imperial Research Institute to develop the Hextech Flying Gate.

"Leave the rest to time."

……

Two years passed in a flash, and in the year 985 of the Noxian calendar, Piltover ushered in the annual Evolution Day.

For the Zuan people living in the Bottom City, Evolution Day is the only chance to leap into the dragon gate in a year, and whether they can find Bole in the Upper City with their invention patents and craftsmanship is the only thing they need to consider, but for the local residents of Piltover, Evolution Day is a grand celebration.

The Yodel Academy will exhibit the most significant inventions of the year, merchants and nobles will look for inventors and collaborators who can bring wealth in a dazzling array of creations, and the most creative and revolutionary invention has to be the Hextech flying door.

Half a year ago, the high-profile founder of Hextech theory, the founder of Hextech Technology, the supporter of the Myrdalda family and the Gillamane family, and the outstanding young scientist, inventor and scholar of Piltover Jace Tallis built two Hextech round towers with extraordinary creativity.

The first tower is located in the most prominent upper part of Piltover, just a kilometer away from the Piltover Parliament Tower, and the second is located in Longmen Harbor on the east coast of the North Continent.

With the help of the Hextech Flying Gate created by the Hextech Round Tower, the Hex-powered spacecraft can complete the space transmission across continents in less than ten seconds, transporting more than a dozen tons of cargo to the bustling Longmen Port, whereas in the past, it would take at least four months to transport the same tonnage of goods by water.

Efficient transportation greatly strengthens Piltover's position in the global commercial arena, space is no longer an obstacle to the circulation of wealth, and the city of progress has become a veritable commercial metropolis.

For a time, the name of Jace Tallis spread throughout the continents of Valoran and Shurima, and even the Ionians knew the name of Jace Tallis.

Becoming a veritable son of the sky, Jace walked into the most beautiful days of his life, the most intuitive manifestation is that in the past, the evolution day was given by Professor Heimerdinger, who led the progressive city forward, but this year's evolution day was changed to a young man.

In the evening, in the hall at the bottom of the Piltover Parliament Tower, hundreds of uptown celebrities sat in the darkened auditorium, and at the front were representatives of Piltover's parliamentary families and some big people with special connections.

For the inventors who are narrating their creative experience on the podium, most people seem to be lacking in interest, applause is more like a necessary etiquette than recognition, after all, the inventor on the stage has already belonged, excellent or not is never the key, the key is whether the invention can make their money bag bulge.

For the Piltover celebrity, the only person to watch tonight is one person who has single-handedly changed the environment of the progressive city and made everyone feast, and that person is clearly not yet ready to play.

Behind the curtain, Victor hurried from the laboratory, sitting on a stool hunched over,

Victor, whose cheeks were thin and pale, kept coughing with his cane in both hands, but he couldn't see his companion who hadn't been in the lab for a long time.

From time to time, someone came up and asked Victor if he wanted to give a speech on stage, and Victor just smiled and euphemistically explained that he was not in good health, and as a scientist with the same name as Jace, Victor knew that those who looked at him were not very friendly.

Obviously, someone was not very happy because of Jace's fame and fortune, and when they couldn't get Jace in trouble, they found him, a scientist who was 'on the same level' as Jace Tallis but was always overlooked, and humiliated him in a way that could not be held accountable.

Victor had already looked down on these things, and he didn't care about the malice shown to him by others, but only whether his companion who had shared his troubles was willing to show everyone their latest invention, but unfortunately, it was not until ten minutes before the start of the speech that Victor saw the hurried figure in a white and luxurious dress.

"Where have you been? They were all asking me if I could go up and give a speech......"

Victor coughed twice, bent over and struggled to his feet, and Jace, with his head held high, approached him with a coffee cup and patted Victor on the shoulder.

"You should come with me, we're partners."

Looking down at his own shabby outfit compared to the rest of the Parliament Tower, Victor explained with a cramped bow.

"No, no, I'm sure I can't, there are too many people down there, and my clothes aren't ......"

Before Victor could finish speaking, Jace walked to the stage with a frown and pricked up his ears, judging from the sound of the horn, the last inventor had stepped down.

"It's your turn Jace, is your speech ready?"

Ignored by Jace, Victor, who was a little embarrassed, asked, but Jace didn't mean to respond, just drank coffee silently,

Skye, who had been following Jace, hesitated and passed by Victor,

Walked up to Jace and handed over two stacked copies of the speech in his hand.

Jace flipped through the pages, his gaze lingering for a moment on the second speech that belonged to Victor, and then quickly closed the page.

This thing will make Victor feel embarrassed if he sees it, so it's better not to mention it.

“…… Please ...... us."

"I was joined by the highly respected emerging inventor, the future Piltover and the promoter of human civilization......"

"Welcome, Mr. Jace Tallis!"

The voice of the patron, Congressman Kassandra Giraman, came from the podium, and the originally silent venue suddenly resounded with deafening cheers,

The sound of almost toppling the entire council tower came for one person, and that was himself, the only problem was that the council, as always, did not prepare a suitable stage and speaking opportunities for his partner, and even Victor did not leave a name to remember in front of everyone, of course, it also had to do with his partner's own lack of performance.

Thinking that Victor's personality didn't like to deal with people in the first place, Jace's heart felt a lot better.

It was up to him to deal with the inevitable social relationships on his own, and Victor had to do his research in silence without the pressure to do so.

It's the only thing he can do for his partner.

"It's time for me to go on stage."

Placing the coffee cup with his bust on the table, Jace glanced at Victor, but finally walked through the darkness and waved his right hand onto the stage with the lights flickering.

Seeing Jace leave the darkness, Victor coughed twice and sat back on the cold stool silently, his gaze resting on the sun-lit bust in the cup of coffee, a little depressed.

No matter how much I don't care in my heart, there will be a little loss at this moment, the same starting line, the same dedication, Jace, who was saved by him, has become the star of tomorrow in Piltover, all the way to the bright road,

And he, the lame Zu'an who no one cares about, has not changed much, his legs and feet are still as bad as ever, his body is getting weaker and weaker day by day, and he coughs like a sixty-year-old man, who may drive west one day.

"Victor...... Are you okay? ”

Skye walked up to Victor with some concern, and Victor shook his head, already in order.

If Hextech's products can be recognized by the general public of Piltover, then he will have enough experimental funds to design Hextech's prosthetics, and with the magic of Hextech, he may not be able to improve his declining body.

Because of this, Victor did not show self-pity.

"I'm fine, even though I can't give a speech on stage, there are things I can do here."

"I heard you've made a new invention?"

Victor nodded, walked on crutches to the crank of the curtain, and smiled with difficulty, not too loudly.

"yes, I can only do some inventions......"

Tonight's Parliament Tower is home to many inspirational inventors, but the curtain hides a product stand dedicated to Jace and him, with two practical products that embody cutting-edge Hextech technology that has reached the point of mass production.

As long as the order is approved, he and Jace will be able to make a fortune that will allow him to further his research plans.

On the left is the Atlas Mechanical Fist, which only needs a stable Hex Crystal to work at full power for more than eight hours, with the main designer Jace and the target group Piltover dock porters.

Relying on the energy power of the mechanical fist glove is enough for the porter to easily move hundreds of pounds of heavy objects, the only limit to the carrying capacity is the porter's own physical fitness, if it is a man with a tiger's back, it may not be able to lift two or three hundred pounds of goods.

When necessary, the fist glove can be used as a battering ram to carry out more violent rock destruction operations, and the Atlas mechanical fist is only to improve the work efficiency of the porters at the beginning of the project, but after the sample is completed, it will inevitably have some discordant factors other than 'civil'.

On the right is the Hex's manipulator claw, the main designer is Victor, which is the first experimental product of the Hex's prosthetic series.

Unlike the Atlas mechanical fist gloves used on the arm, the Hex manipulator claw was designed and produced from the beginning for the fifth limb of the Zaun miners.

With the Hex Crystal Sensor, users can free their hands and precisely control their claws to complete the mineral picking operation, and the palm of the claw can also emit laser rays that are long enough to cut obsidian, cutting the ore from the vein quickly and completely.

Like the Atlas Mechanical Fist, the Hexmanipulator Claw is also quite dangerous, with a high-temperature laser enough to cut a mortal tire into charred pieces.

But depending on the dangers of humanity aside, Victor is quite confident that the two devices that can cause a seismic change once they enter the market.

In the middle is a stable Hex Crystal, a top-secret craft that only he and Jace have mastered, and it is also a monstrous wave that has set off a wave of Hex's technology, and this Hex Crystal, which will not explode due to loss of control when smashed by a hammer, will be the only protagonist of the night.

Waiting silently behind the scenes, Victor suppressed his excitement and clenched the crank, imagining how crazy Madame Piltworth would be when the curtain parted.

“…… I'm sure many people didn't expect me to speak tonight, but believe me, I'm as shocked as you are,

My family and I make hammers, our factory makes hammers, and the floor tiles that you are stepping on under your feet may be chiseled out of my hammer, and my father once told me that hammers may not be expensive tools, but they are the most indispensable tools in the world, and I have always believed in this.

Growing up, no one ever expected too much from me, and that's why I can feel how extraordinary this moment is.

A few years ago, Hexfelty opened its port to the world, allowing Piltover to flourish beyond anything I could have imagined, but our quest continues, and this year, we've invented something new for everyone......"

Victor took a deep breath and prepared to turn the crank,

Jace looked at the frowning Heimerdinger, and his tone was no longer as calm as before.

"This wholesale is clear...... Forehead...... I'll share this with all of you until the time comes......"

Jace's words fell, Heimerdinger's brow furrowed, Councillor Mel Myrdalda stood up and left directly with a disgruntled expression, and Victor hung his arms blankly, as if realizing something, and coughed violently.

Outside the Parliament Tower, Caitlin in a sheriff's uniform looked at the Sungate Bridge, her pupils dilated abruptly in a ball of fire that suddenly swelled.

"Boom !!"

The Sunnomon Sea Gate Bridge, which has stood for more than 200 years, has been reduced to broken metal ruins and sunk in the canal. (End of chapter)
