Chapter 59 Only Four Hours to Live
Jeno woke up.
He was grateful that he could still wake up.
At first glance, what I saw was still the worried girl Orianna.
Her expression was very tangled, looking like she was crying and laughing at the same time, which made Jeno's heart become tangled.
Colin also appeared in the apartment. He was sitting on a chair, holding Geno's unfinished design drawings in his hand, and nodded towards him.
There was a fourth person in the room, but she didn't reveal herself.
"How many times has this happened?" Orianna asked.
"The second time."
"No, it was the fourth time. Geno's heart stopped twice while he was sleeping, and the intervals became shorter and shorter." Janna's voice suddenly appeared in their minds.
After listening, Orianna's brows almost knitted together.
"How's your plan going?"
"It should be almost done in the next few days." Jeno wasn't quite sure and answered vaguely.
"But why do I think you will be gone in the next few days?" Orianna choked with sobs.
Geno was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, Orianna, you are trying to suck me to death.
"You must change your mind as soon as possible! The sooner the better!" Orianna stood up from the edge of the bed, grabbed the design from Colin, and showed it in front of Geno.
"Isn't this my design? It's not finished yet." Geno smiled, and then saw that the first draft of the design had been completed. His smile stopped and he was shocked and said:
"This, this, this...this! You want to stuff this ball into my chest??"
Geno's eyes became serious, what did he see?
He saw that the unfinished design of the golem had been transformed into a design of an artificial perpetually moving heart!
He blurted out: "Colin is awesome!"
After catching the doubtful looks in the father and daughter's eyes, he slowly changed his words: "Mr. Colin is strong! Invincible!"
"What! Just when you think about your father, don't you think that I also put in a lot of effort!" Orianna angrily punched Geno, but she gave it up after thinking that he was critically ill.
"What can you do? You tell me, I'll listen." Geno smiled and got up from the bed.
"Ahem! Half of your design was drawn, and it looked like a heart. Then I asked my father if it looked like a heart. After hearing this, he was very excited. It only took a few hours to really draw it.
It has been changed to a heart design.”
After saying this, Orianna herself blushed.
"That's it?" Geno joked.
"It's not just that! I also solved the power problem!"
Geno stretched out his hand, palm upward, and made a "you go on" motion.
"Father said that the heart's pulsation problem needs to be solved by Hex crystal, but that design is too unscientific. If the crystal has no energy, you will die before the crystal is replaced. And I have checked a lot of relevant information recently. Hex Crystal
Kerx crystal is poisonous and will have a great impact on the human body if put into it."
…
The crystal Orianna is talking about is actually an artificial crystal. Only artificial crystals will be depleted of energy. The so-called toxicity is a green impurity that exists in large amounts in the crystal. The lower the purity, the more toxic the crystal.
Talking about toxicity actually starts with the way artificial crystals are made:
Crystal raw stone is actually a kind of blue-green ore. This kind of ore is found in large quantities in the depths of Zaun (exposed to the ground during the great collapse). They are also a collection of turbid energy.
Then these ores were first studied and purified by the Philos family, and they were made into artificial Hex crystals by imitating the structure of the natural Hex crystals. All major families also followed suit. The green impurities that could not be processed were directly discharged into the ancestors.
An has lasted for hundreds of years and has never stopped until now, becoming the largest source of pollution in Zaun.
(Pilcheng is full of talents, and Zaun is full of geniuses.)
However, Zaun also has many talents. They researched and analyzed this substance, utilized waste, and invented the alchemy technology that is also famous in Zaun, competing with Hex Technology. (Alchemy technology is also famous for its instability)
After these substances decomposed and mixed into the air, they turned into PM2.5, becoming the infamous Zaun haze.
Why is Zaun so polluted?
Why is everything so green and dusty in Zaun?
Why is Zaun’s air quality so terrible?
It's all caused by people's extreme dependence on Hex technology and their extreme depletion of the environment.
Of course, a large part of this is to blame in Piltover. Their way of dealing with pollution is too rough. This situation is difficult to change now. The Zaun people have become dependent on these pollutions and have become "addicted" to them.
…
"So, I had to find other power to make the heart beat. Then I thought of the wind-up dolls I usually make. They only need to twist the spring once to move for several minutes. I think this method can also be used.
In your mind, you told your father about this idea, and then he actually said it was feasible! Oh my god, I was just talking casually!"
Orianna vividly interpreted the "I was shocked on the spot.jpg" emoticon.
"You treat your heart as a toy, you are playing with my heart!" Geno covered his chest as if he was in pain.
"Go, go, stop joking, my father is still watching from behind."
Orianna groaned, her face turned red, she lowered her voice, and slapped her hands like a fly.
"Yeah, I almost forgot that Mr. Colin is still here..."
Geno glanced at Colin secretly and was forced to swallow a mouthful of saliva, almost choking his trachea.
Colin's face was as black as carbon. He looked down at the floor, as if there was a knife stuck there, and he wanted to pull it out and kill the pig to sacrifice to heaven.
Geno chatted, immediately returned to the topic, and vowed never to be naughty again.
"How often does this clockwork heart need to be wound?"
"Four... up to four hours..."
Orianna lowered her head and said embarrassedly.
It is said to be four hours, but in reality it will be less. It would be too dangerous to wait until the limit to extend the time.
"In this case, I won't be able to sleep until dawn. Is there any room for improvement?" Geno frowned.
"There is room for improvement in other parts, but power is the only shortcoming of clockwork power devices." Colin spoke with absolute authority in his tone.
"Is that so..." Geno's loneliness was clearly revealed.
"It's okay, I will watch over you. I will get up in the middle of the night to wind up your clockwork every day until science advances again and until you get a better heart!"
Orianna suddenly raised her head to encourage Geno. Her determined eyes made people's skin feel hot. This moved Geno very much. The warm promise flowed through his shrunken heart muscle, making his heart beat irregularly.
It's hard to say that Orianna has no selfish motives. But taking the initiative to take on this responsibility is a great realization.
Colin also sighed helplessly. His daughter has done this for other men. She really raised a "good" daughter!
Geno was silent for a long time, not knowing how to thank the kind father and daughter, so he took a deep breath and said slowly:
Chapter completed!
