Chapter 238 Gray Lady’s Visit Again

The performance test of Tyrant Alien was perfect, and all data exceeded Li Lin's expectations.

Although its intelligence level needs to be improved, Li Lin feels that if it is only used as a war machine, it is actually enough.

There is no need for these mass-produced mechas to all have their own thinking patterns.

With the "artificial intelligence self-evolution logic" and the control of the "intelligent brain", it is the best choice for him to personally issue orders when necessary.

Li Lin still remembered that among the Tyrant mechas, the Zero, as the ultimate land combat mecha, would conflict with the evolutionary logic of its own AI program due to human orders, thus greatly increasing the risk of going berserk.

If the original world line of Tyrant Universe continues to develop, Type-0, which has developed self-awareness, will eventually become hostile to humans.

Even if Type Zero is not on the same front as the behemoths of the deep sea, its ultimate goal is to exterminate humans and help other similar machines escape human control.

Li Lin does not plan to have an "Omnic Crisis" or "Age of Ultron" in the main universe because of himself.

With the "gene ascension" of the individual enhancement route, he is fully capable of controlling those large-scale mechas through neural connections. He does not even need the auxiliary calculations of the "intelligent brain". He himself is a walking humanoid flesh and blood computer.

After leaving the Piart Mountains, Li Lin did not rush home. Instead, he walked around the no-man's land around Pi City, scanning and recording the entire terrain into the database.

The construction location of the satellite base has been determined, and what remains is the selection of locations for combat arsenals, secret laboratories, and large-scale mecha construction bases.

Most of the terrain around the twin cities is mountainous, and there are not-so-large uninhabited plains in the suburban areas and south of the canal.

However, the southern plains require the construction of satellite bases, and the suburbs of Pi City are not suitable for large-scale construction. It can easily affect the twin cities located at the top and bottom of the cliff.

In addition to these, the only remaining city-state in the Valoran continent that does not belong to Noxus is Hedoram, which is across the sea from Piltover to the east and is controlled by "Sea Lord" Branin.

It's just that Hedolam is the same as Kumanggra in the Shurima continent to the south. Even though it has its own expensive specialties, it is still essentially a small city-state that mainly focused on fishing in the Middle Ages.

Even if they have business dealings with the technologically advanced Pi City, their technological level is still pitifully low.

Coupled with the stubbornness and uncivilized thinking, wanting to build a large base outside these two city-states can almost be regarded as "whimsical".

Looking at it this way, Li Lin finally set his target again in the Piart Mountains.

There are several mountains with stable crustal structures that can be used to build bases underground, but it will cost a lot more money, time, and energy.

But using mountains as camouflage is actually a good choice...

Li Lin could only comfort himself in this way.

…

…

The half-yellow full sun merged into the sea level, and dusk had arrived.

Li Lin returned to Gila Mann's mansion and was in no hurry to enter his workshop.

When he just returned to the range covered by the Intelligent Brain network, the armor's Intelligent Brain sent a warning and played the image captured by the surveillance equipment on the holographic display.

【warn! An intruder was discovered in the workshop. 】

[Based on the comparison of the appearance features you entered in the database, it is identified as: Gray Lady, Camille Philos. 】

[The defense system is not yet ready to stop this intruder. 】

It came a little slower than I expected...

Li Lin felt calm, having long expected that Camille would visit again.

After all, his armor uses the Hex core, and this energy device technology, which can be regarded as the most advanced in the entire Rune Land, was once monopolized by the Philos family.

Camille's energy supply core is the first complete Hex core in Runeterra. Without her own intervention, it would probably be the last one.

In the original world line, the mechanically ascended Victor used semi-finished products made of original crystal fragments.

The Hex core technology of Clockwork Demon Orianna Levik is far inferior to Camille's, because she also needs to provide power to wind up herself.

As for Seraphine's "wheelchair" made of primitive crystal...

It was just a Hex device, not a Hex core at all.

Now, his infinite armor can soar into the sky. Unless he has hundreds of energy crystals, he cannot power the armor. The Philos family should know this very well.

Now that there is someone who can reappear the core of Hex, Stevan, that sinister old snake, will definitely not be able to sit still...

"Zhi Nao, where is the Gray Lady now? Get me the real-time surveillance video."

[The Gray Lady is in the main workshop and has not concealed her whereabouts. 】

[Connecting to the monitoring system for you...]

【connection succeeded! 】

[Due to the influence of the special mechanical device in the Gray Lady's body, the network may fluctuate...]

Li Lin ignored Zhinao's reminder, and his attention was drawn to Camille, who was sitting on his work chair, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, looking as if he was at home.

Good guy, I'm usually not as comfortable as you are...

He couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Under surveillance, Camille drank the tea in her hand, picked up the teapot on the workbench, filled it for herself, and poured another cup into another empty teacup.

Then, she turned her eyes and looked directly at the almost invisible mini camera in the corner of the workshop.

From Li Lin's perspective, the two of them looked at each other through a screen.

Camille raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "My child, since you are back, how about a cup of tea first? I made it myself."

She can sense other Hextech items through the Hex Core, as long as they are powered by the same type of power supply core developed by the Shell Tribe's original crystal.

Judging from Camille's appearance, she didn't know that she had researched the core of Hex and came to investigate.

Moreover, Stevan wants to live forever and has the blueprints, but lacks technical personnel. He will not send Camille to kill him.

What's more, even if it's murder, as a secret agent, you shouldn't use this method.

Li Lin didn't hesitate, pushed open the door to the workshop and walked in.

His eyes stayed on Camille in front of the workbench, unfolded his mask, and said with a polite smile, "Happy Evolution Day, Gray Lady."

"you are happy too."

Li Lin took off his armor, moved a chair, walked straight to Camille and sat down, took the tea she made for him, blew on the hot air, and took a sip.

He is no longer what he used to be.

Even if he doesn't wear the infinite armor, Li Lin is not very afraid of Qinggangying.

If they really want to fight, they only need to guard against her legs and some special Hex device weapons. At most, they will suffer some flesh wounds.

Not to mention that the clothes he is wearing now are actually fourth-generation armor, which can also provide protection.

Besides, this is still his home court.

Taking off his armor was just to show his respect for the Gray Lady.

Camille stared at Li Lin with slight surprise, surprised by his behavior, "You have changed a lot in the past six months."

"No one is static, not even a machine." Li Lin smiled, "Either it decays with time and is eliminated by people, or it can be improved and upgraded to break through the constraints of the original technology and do better."

Camille was stunned for two seconds, "It seems that I still underestimated you too much."

She turned her gaze to the corner of the ceiling of the workshop. "Those technological devices are somewhat similar to Hex cameras. They allow you to see what is happening in the room? Very interesting inventions."

"You are so flattering. They are called cameras. They are just insignificant devices. They are still in the testing stage and are not very stable."

Li Lin put down the tea cup and continued to ask: "You have been waiting for me for a long time, right?"

"Don't worry about this, kid, I'm very patient." Camille raised the cup in her hand, "Besides... the tea at Giraman's house is very good."

She did not reveal the purpose of her uninvited visit this time. She turned her blue electronic eyes and noticed the Tyrant alien parked at the door, and a trace of surprise flashed across her face.

"Is this your new invention? A power machine..." Her eyes turned orange and she quickly glanced at the alien mecha. "Well, to be precise, it's a precision combat robot."

Although there was no change in her expression, the surprise in Camille's heart gradually turned into consternation.

Through the scan just now, she discovered that there were three Hex cores in the robot's body for power.

Under the cover of the dark blue metal armor, she could vaguely feel the deadly threat of energy weapons.

She believed that if she fought with this machine, there would only be one end...

die.

There won't even be a chance to escape.

Camille's eyes returned to normal and returned to Li Lin. She narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "I take back my evaluation of you. To be precise, I am no longer underestimating you... Your potential far exceeds mine." imagination."

"Can I take this as a compliment?" Li Lin shook his head and chuckled, not intending to play language games with her anymore, and asked bluntly: "What is the purpose of your visit this time?"

He didn't give Camille a chance to speak, and immediately replied to himself: "Well... let me guess, it's because I made the Hex Core?"

"I wasn't sure before, but now it seems that the energy supply core of your power armor is really the Hex core."

Camille put down the tea cup, supported her face with one hand, and changed the position of her legs, which were made of special metal into sharp blades, and raised her right leg on top of her left leg.

Li Lin could tell that she suppressed the shock in her heart.

But what shocked Camille even more was what he said next: "Your brother, the head of the Stevan family, sent you here, right? He wants to use the Hex Core to become an eternally youthful existence like you?"

How do you even know this?

This sentence stuck in Camille's throat and she almost blurted it out.

But after thinking about it, she comforted herself that Li Lin was a smart man and it was not unusual to know this.

After all, the whole upper town knew that Stevan was a dying man.

Coupled with the reappearance of Hex's core technology, even if it were not Li Lin, but Karina, she could guess her purpose.

Camille took a deep breath and said, "That's right, my brother wants to invite you to Lanxun Manor as a guest and discuss Hex Core matters."

Being a guest?

Based on Stevan’s character, it’s probably Hongmen Banquet, right?

Transform yourself first, and then burn bridges across rivers and kill me.

In this way, no one can shake his dominance except you.

Li Lin sneered in his heart, but his smile on the surface was even bigger: "What if...I refuse?"
