Chapter 171 The mysterious statue and the almost forgotten double swords

Highly developed technology has not reduced social contradictions, but made them more acute.

With many machines, manpower has become less important, and the upper class who master technology and resources have exploited the lower class more seriously.

As time goes by, the environment has become worse due to the side effects of research. Except for the city, which is still a shelter, the wasteland outside is full of dangers.

Radiation, monsters, and rebels are everywhere.

In addition to the Source Project Company, the Gene Power Rebellion led by Ashe and the Wasteland Alliance led by Pike have broken away from the source code robots controlled by the Source Project Company. These can be regarded as the four main forces in this universe.

"Enemy attack!!!"

The blue energy arrow is very familiar to the people in the company. Ashe was once one of them.

After the establishment of the Gene Power Rebellion, another member of the rebel army, Sejuani, was very dissatisfied with Ashe's resistance activities not moving towards more radical violent activities, so she became the leader of another radical rebel army.

Now even Ashe, a "moderate" rebel, has begun to act, and it is not certain how many people are around.

The energy arrow released by the bow and arrow was like a cruise missile, accurately hitting the vehicle at the front of the convoy, and the battle was about to break out.

"Protect the doctor! The company's reinforcements will arrive in three minutes!"

This is the mission of these employees. If there is a problem with the object of protection, both they and their families will be severely punished by the company.

These three minutes are like purgatory for them. The offensive of Gene Power is extremely fierce and is about to break through their defense line.

But at this moment, the appearance of a pink dagger saved the crisis.

Source Project·Ambition·Katrina.

A member of the Source Project Company, she followed Ashe to rebel against the Source Project Company, and then returned to the Source Project Group with information about Ashe. Most members of Gene Power think she is a spy.

"Doctor, the threat has been eliminated, you can move on, and the plan is being implemented very smoothly."

Katarina seemed to be describing the previous situation very normally, but her words meant something else.

After all, some people have always believed that Katarina did not betray Gene Power. She is essentially a mission impossibility.

On Firefly Island, perhaps because of some mysterious cosmic magnetic field, Orlan's dream has recently become a TV series, always appearing in the Project Universe.

In terms of prosthetic transformation, the Project Universe can be said to be at the forefront.

The Project Company is not to say that it is all-powerful, but it is also the leading overlord.

With the development of Project Technology, some transformation parts and new technologies have begun to flow into the public through the black market.

And because of the outflow of a large amount of technology and parts, even the lower-class people who could not afford the high cost of transformation have begun to transform themselves without the intervention of the company.

In a sense, this sea has also begun to change under the influence of Orlan.

The technology used by Orlan himself and his confidants is now considered the fifth generation, and the fourth generation technology is used in the elite team within Piltover.

The sales orders to the Navy, the World Government, and the underground world are the third generation technology, and the second generation technology now has some signs of large-scale outflow.

Those second-generation products were originally the first batch used by the Navy and the World Government, but they were eliminated with the technological update. Sometimes these obsolete products are even more popular on the black market because they are cheap.

There are many talented magic modification maniacs on this sea. Their own invention ability is not very good, but after contacting other people's inventions, they suddenly become smart and come up with all kinds of strange things.

As for how these things ended up on the sea, we have to ask the people in the navy and the world government.

Although this thing has always been placed on Orlan's shelves as a commodity, according to the investigation records, the number of scattered sales is far less than the number of prostheses currently used on the sea.

As for Orlan, most of the time now is spent directing the bionic people to carve stone statues.

Forbidden magic stone, monolith, seastone, there are huge differences between them, and it is quite difficult to solve the problem of interoperability.

And there is another problem with seastone-carving difficulty.

The essence of forbidden magic stone is a special product forged by fusing the fossil powder of those trees with other substances. For Demacia, it is equivalent to a secret brick.

Although the production process is relatively confidential, it is not complicated to carve.

But seastone is different. Even the people of Wano Country can't explain how this ore appeared.

They just have a special way of carving, and they are one of the few places in the world that can process seastone precisely.

The outside world can only roughly change the appearance of seastone, but Wano Country can forge it into tiny nails and even adjust the purity of seastone.

Not only does it take some effort to study, but the learning difficulty is also not low.

The people of Piltover only know that their king has been building a lot of buildings recently, commanding a small group of people to carve a statue in the square under the royal city, but they don’t know what this is for.

However, in their eyes, this is actually Orlan’s approach to normality.

In the five years since the establishment of the new country, the engineering projects on the island can be said to have never stopped.

Windmills, dams, trams, roads.

Different technologies connect the islands together. Except for the initial transformation of the royal city, all projects are for the people.

This method even makes people feel that Orlan is not like a king. Now, building a memorial statue is what a king would do.

"What kind of statue do you think His Majesty wants to carve?"

"It must be his own statue. Didn't the kings before do this?"

After the transformation, the royal city has a feeling of standing on the top of the mountain. Ordinary people can only see the project covered by the protective net from below and discuss what their king wants to do.

"His Majesty Orlan is different from those worm-eater royals. I think it is a statue of the princess. After all, His Majesty the King loves His Royal Highness the Princess very much."

"It's too wide. This proportion doesn't look like Princess Leliana. Maybe it's a family portrait."

"Who knows? You will know when the carving is completed. Anyway, I bet 500 Baileys. It is His Majesty Orlan's own statue."

This is a bet circulated among the people in Piltover. It is unknown who initiated it, but it is said to be a charitable entertainment project. All the remaining funds after the bet are over will be invested in the construction of the welfare home.

According to their guess, there is a high probability that no one will be right by then.

As for their king, he is currently in his own laboratory, looking at the two objects in front of him and thinking about the experimental project.

Two knives given by Zefa and an animal-type devil fruit, so what will they add up to?
