Chapter 213 Assembly Line Arsenal

The plan against Renata Gorask was unexpected.

Li Lin's visit to Hilko was mainly to inquire about the construction status of the arsenal and the matter of the Alchemist Baron.

In fact, Hilko has long been dissatisfied with several alchemy barons who have different intentions.

Baron Middenstock is one of them, and Raymond Keane is also on his list of purges.

Li Lin used the incident in the lunatic asylum to ask the law enforcement officer to arrest Raymond Keene, which was in line with Hilko's idea.

However, Hilko still has thoughts about the forces at his disposal, such as alchemy workshops, factories and mines.

But if Li Lin does this, Raymond Keane's property will be confiscated by the Piltover police and then divided among several families.

Hilko had a hint of complaint in his heart, but it was difficult to express it.

The arsenal was actually built not long after Li Lin set out for Shurima, and the list materials he had written before were all ready.

Because Li Lin had been away from home for the past six months, Hilko temporarily asked his men to seal up everything to prevent it from being corroded and rusted by Zaun's harsh environment.

Coincidentally, the location Hilko chose for the arsenal was not far from Oswald Asylum, but the location was more remote, in a "suburban" area, and few people would go there on weekdays.

This is in line with Li Lin's ideas.

By the way, he also wanted to acquire and renovate the old canning factory located at the edge of Black Alley Pier where Hilko had previously hidden the shimmering potion, and the abandoned Wells Distillery where the Gila Manns had been rescued.

A total of four large-scale factory sites are available, three for production and one for assembling parts.

At this stage, the arsenal mainly focuses on intelligent mechanical engineering troops on the surface, while the air combat machinery Storm is secretly assembled and produced.

With the relationship of the Giraman family, as long as the Gray Lady is not alerted, the law enforcement officers will generally not make themselves uncomfortable and search the properties of the MP family.

However, in addition to modular assembly production, the supply of large quantities of smart chips is also a problem.

In this regard, Li Lin is going to go back to Pi City to discuss with Mrs. Karina, and they can reach a cooperation with Piltover University to establish a smart chip production line based on the original auxiliary chip production.

If possible, he might also be able to cooperate with the alchemist Baron Lannar, who has cooperated with many big Piltover families and focuses on robot manufacturing.

As for the transportation management of these factories in addition to the intelligent production lines, Li Lin plans to leave it to Mondo first.

Of course, his current knowledge level is too lacking and still needs to be cultivated.

Li Lin wrote a new list of materials for Hilko and decided to go to the arsenal in the lower city of the middle square to check it out first.

Calling Mondo, who was sitting on a bench outside the door and beginning to snore, the two of them got on the transport plane and went down to the middle square again.

After another nearly half an hour's journey, under the guidance of a confidant of Hilko, Li Lin and Mondo arrived outside the built arsenal.

The factory occupies a large area, much larger than Oswald, and is similar in size to the previous Wells Distillery.

Since it had not been registered in Pi City, Li Lin could not do so, so there was no modification to its appearance.

At first glance, this arsenal looks like an abandoned old factory from the outside. It is no different from a lot of closed factories in Zaun. It is unremarkable.

However, when the door of the factory was opened with Li Lin's key, the environment inside changed suddenly.

The interior of the factory is very tidy, and it seems that Hilko often sends people to clean it.

The basic mechanical production equipment has been set up, all covered with special plastic sheets to prevent corrosion.

There are another twenty large locked metal boxes locked in a closed room similar to a warehouse. They contain the materials Li Lin needed half a year ago, which is only a lot more than what he recorded in his list.

Mondo walked around the arsenal and returned to Li Lin, who was inspecting mechanical parts, very curious.

"Boss, are you going to open a factory?"

He stretched his head and glanced at the mechanical parts in the box, with a smile on his face, "Before I became Baron Raymond Keen's thug, I was the workshop supervisor of a clock parts processing factory. I think I can help. .”

"Oh?" Li Lin glanced back at Mondo in surprise, "Isn't the factory manager a pretty good job? Why did you go to work for Raymond Keen later?"

Mondo scratched his head and laughed awkwardly, "That factory closed down..."

Uh...that's okay.

Li Lin picked up two boxes of parts and stood up, asking Mondo to also hold a box, and followed him to one of the production line machines.

Although this mechanical device still needs to be upgraded intelligently, the basic operation still needs to be tested first.

After quickly placing some materials, Li Lin pulled the switch of the device and asked Mondo to go to the end of the conveyor belt and get the production parts.

With a harsh metallic friction sound, the machine began to run slowly.

More than ten minutes later, Mundo ran over holding one of the internal parts of the Storm Robot, "Boss! There seems to be nothing wrong with this machine."

After taking the parts, Li Lin turned on his "digital thinking" and took a look.

Poor quality, not a qualified product, but at least it can be used normally.

He dropped the parts casually, raised his head and looked at the strong man in front of him who was more than a head taller than him, "Mundo, I have a task for you."

Mondo immediately stood at attention solemnly, "Please tell me, I will do my best to complete it!"

"When a new batch of materials arrives in a few days, I will upgrade all the machines in the factory, and you will be responsible for the normal operations here."

Mondo was stunned for a few seconds and said with a stunned expression: "Huh? Just me?"

He looked around stiffly, "But here, there are so many production lines..."

"Don't worry about this. I have developed an intelligent chip. All the work here can be fully automated by machinery. You only need to ensure the supply of materials."

Li Lin patted Mondo on the shoulder, "Besides, I will also rush to make a few intelligent engineering robots and let them help you."

…

…

Back uptown, the sun has already merged halfway into the western horizon.

Li Lin rushed to the Piltover University Apartments without stopping and knocked on Valentina's door.

It was Caitlin who opened the door, and Li Lin didn't look surprised at all.

They had already agreed when they were in the lunatic asylum that she would take care of Valentina first when they returned to Piltover to complete the notes.

By the way, Caitlin called her mother while at the police station and quickly explained the situation in the lunatic asylum today.

Mrs. Karina spoke righteously and ordered Sheriff Grayson to find out the real person behind the incident.

The trial of Baron Raymond Keane and Dean Oswald will take some time.

During this period, the most critical thing is to observe Valentina's situation and see if she is entangled by Nocturne.

Li Lin walked directly into the room and saw Valentina sitting on the sofa in a daze, surrounded by five storm robots.

"How's Valentina doing?" He lowered his head slightly and whispered in Caitlin's ear.

"When I came back in the afternoon, she opened the door for me, and then she drank some special calming potion, which turned her into what she is now."

Caitlin showed a melancholy look, "Professor Heimerdinger heard about her situation and came to inquire about it. He was the one who brought the potion.

"I told him your analysis and the previous case of the missing father and son. He also suspected that Valentina was targeted by Nightmare and said he wanted to go back and find a solution.

"Oh, by the way, the professor also said that this matter is very serious. He asked me to notify you to find him as soon as you come back."

Li Lin nodded and opened "Data Thinking" to take a look at Valentina's situation.

Judging from the current situation displayed on the system panel, her condition has improved a lot, at least not as serious as when I saw her in the morning.

But in addition to these, there is an inexplicable negative status of "Silent Fear" on her [Personal Status] column, but there is no introduction.

Li Lin's expression couldn't help but change slightly.

He was very familiar with this term. It was one of Eternal Nightmare Nocturne's abilities to spread fear.

Valentina's situation is not optimistic. In just a few days at the latest, she will be visited by Nocturne and then eaten by this demon that loves nightmares and fearful emotions.

If you are unlucky, tonight is not impossible...

After all, she was not in this state in the morning.

Li Lin looked through the window at the sky that was about to be swallowed up by the night.

“Kate, take Valentina with you and we’ll go find Professor Heimerdinger.

Caitlin raised her pretty eyebrows slightly, "Huh? Now? Valentina has taken tranquilizers, and she is not suitable to go out now..."

"Her condition is very critical now and cannot be delayed any longer!"
