"The invention I'm going to introduce today is called the Hextech Transformer, which can transform a person into another person!"
As soon as these words came out, the audience exploded.
The crowd went crazy, associating many absurd assumptions from this, and one after another of questions drowned out Heimerdinger, who was originally not very loud, and couldn't be quiet no matter how much he called to stop.
Among them are simple things such as "Can it be changed back?" "Are there any side effects?"
The more complicated ones are "If a person becomes another person, can he still retain his consciousness, or does his consciousness completely become another person?" "Can you use this machine to continuously transform?" , so as to achieve the goal of immortality?"
In addition, there are many issues related to morality and ethics, which make people feel terrified to think about it.
Even Kahn thought it was an exaggeration.
Is this really the power of technology?How do you feel this is magic?But magic doesn't have such a mysterious effect, the closest thing is just camouflage, which is much worse than the effect described by Heimerdinger.
Chapter 481 The Heimerdinger Who Messed Up Again
"Nimma, this is better than cloning!"
"What is cloning?" Kai'Sa looked at Kahn suspiciously, the words that suddenly burst out of his mouth were extremely unfamiliar.
Kahn couldn't explain clearly, so he prevaricated: "It's nothing, look at the professor's nervous look that he can't answer the question, things may not be what everyone thinks."
On the booth, Heimerdinger finally made a move. He couldn't let the venue go on in such a mess.With the help of the on-site guards, the crazy crowd finally fell silent, and Professor Heimerdinger began to explain.
"The conversion machine requires two people to use it together. After the machine is activated, the consciousness of the two people will be switched."
Sure enough, things are not as everyone thinks, the Hex Technology Converter cannot easily convert a person into another person, but has many restrictions.
Although there are some suspicions of exaggerated propaganda, the exchange of consciousness is equivalent to the exchange of bodies, and it is not a big mistake to say that it is replaced by another person.
Heimerdinger's explanation triggered another round of brainstorming, and everyone was wondering what the machine could be used for.
"If it really has the effect he said, I really want to try it." Kasha suddenly said to Kahn.
"This..." Kahn looked at Kai'Sa in astonishment: "You want to switch bodies with me?!"
"I'm curious what it's like to be a man, aren't you curious?"
"Curiosity is curiosity, but I don't even know if that thing is reliable. Heimerdinger just said that he hasn't tested it yet." Kahn could see that Kaisha's eyes were not innocent, which meant that she also had some extraordinary things. Think about it.
Although the two love each other, it still feels strange to swap bodies or something.
Fortunately, Kaisha didn't make trouble for no reason, saying that if you don't agree, you don't love me.
He wiped off his cold sweat and looked into the arena.
Among the many questioners, a man named Jair Midarda caught Kahn's attention.
He reported himself as the eldest son of Jagu Myrdalda. This status is not insignificant in Piltover, as noble as the prince of a feudal dynasty.
Kahn had done his homework before he came. He knew this man——as the heir to the prestigious Myrdalda family in Piltover, Jarl preferred to find ancient relics rather than manage the family business... This is what made his father Where Jagu was greatly annoyed.
In Piltover, the Myrdaldas are powerful.Relying on the profits from his father's piston patents, Jagu funded research to use hex technology to manipulate the opening and closing of the Sun Gate more quickly.
But even without his father's support, Jael still became the president of the Explorers' Guild on his own.And the reason why he was interested in Heimerdinger's invention may be that the effect of this converter sounds as magical as an ancient relic.
His question is: "Professor Heimerdinger, I want to know whether this machine can allow people to continuously transfer their consciousness into other people's bodies to achieve spiritual immortality?"
"Theoretically, it is possible." Heimerdinger replied, but then changed the topic unexpectedly: "There is only one limitation."
"What is it?"
"This device is currently only capable of converting between humans and yordles."
As soon as this remark came out, many people felt that they could not understand it, and there was an uproar.
"Why should such a good thing be designed so that it can only be exchanged with yordles?"
"Where do you want us to find the yordles? If we can't find the yordles, won't this device be useless?"
Heimerdinger made a clever move. He believed that humans and yordles are both human beings, and there is no distinction between them, making people mistakenly think that the conversion machine can allow humans to exchange consciousness with each other.
He hastily explained: "The reason why it is designed like this is that the human brain cannot carry too much knowledge, and part of the memory will definitely be lost in multiple transfers, while the yordles will not have such a problem."
But this sentence was misinterpreted by those who are interested in it: "Does the professor think that humans are not as smart as yordles? Are there studies showing that human brains are not as big as yordles?"
"I'm not, I'm not, I mean..." Heimerdinger shook his head repeatedly.
"May I ask the professor if he can give a demonstration." Jarre was quite sensible, and he didn't ask sharp questions that would make it difficult for Heimerdinger like those reporters who wanted to make things big.
"Sorry, I haven't found any yordles who are willing to cooperate, but I promise this machine will be useful."
"It's a pity. I hope that the professor will continue to work hard and make an invention that allows humans to exchange consciousness. I am very confident in this."
As Ike said, Heimerdinger's inventions always go wrong, and this time he couldn't even demonstrate it. Who knows if he is bragging?Gradually, everyone's attitude towards this invention changed from expectation to disappointment.
Seeing Heimerdinger's dejected look, Kaisha said: "Heimerdinger himself is a yordle, he can find someone to cooperate with him in changing his consciousness, and change back after proving himself."
"I feel that he lacked consideration, and actually made this kind of thing public, which made him a little bit hard to get off now, and he couldn't reveal his true identity." Kahn sighed, and Heimerdinger made it clear at the beginning that there were not so many things. It's all about exaggerated propaganda.
The personality flaws of the yordles are very obvious. Compared with humans, it is obvious that they generally have low emotional intelligence.
"This machine is useless, and no normal person would want to become a yordle."
"If this machine is real, then it is not worthless." Kahn said: "Some things cannot be said clearly, just like yordles have a long lifespan. As long as human beings borrow this machine and occupy a yordle body, they can Live as long as they do. And yordles can also borrow this machine, blending perfectly into the human world and being difficult to detect."
"I'll save this matter for later. It's time to get down to business now." Seeing Jael leave the venue, Kahn immediately pulled Kai'Sa out.
"Mr. Jiaer, please stay!"
Hearing someone calling him, Jiaer subconsciously stopped and looked around.
Then he saw a couple wearing sunglasses walking in front of him, their hair was dyed dark purple with some unknown dye, which was very conspicuous in the sun.He touched his chest, suddenly a little speechless.
Let me add a word, it's really good, it's worth pretending, after all, there are many sources of books, all books, and fast updates!
"What do you want me to do?" Jiaer didn't bring any bodyguards with him. He was tall and strong, and he often went to dangerous areas to practice his extraordinary skills. Naturally, he didn't need the protection of bodyguards.
"I heard that you have a lot of research on ancient sacred objects. I happen to have a treasure in my hand. Would you like to taste it?"
Chapter 482 Trading
"Treasure? What treasure?"
Hearing what Kahn said, the bushy-eyed Jiaer suddenly became interested, and it didn't even matter who the two were.
"Let's talk elsewhere."
The three of them sat down in a room of the Explorers' Guild. There were only three of them in the room. Jar lit a cigar and said, "Let's say, everyone outside is my people, and no one will disturb us."
Kahn nodded, took out a small pendant box and put it on the table.Jia Er took it and rubbed it lightly a few times, the small box actually glowed and opened a gap.
Jia Er was quite calm, and he didn't throw away the small box of the change in fright, but was slightly surprised.A puff of smoke emerged from the gap, and gradually turned into the ghost of a burly captain, wielding a huge machete in his hand, with ragged clothes, and ethereal flesh hanging on the translucent bones.
"This is the undead from the Shadow Isles!" Jarl concluded without hesitation, he had seen such a thing in Bilgewater's Soul Eater before.He looked at the captain's ghost, and gradually revealed a thoughtful look: "This undead seems to be trapped in a small box, so it doesn't attack the living like other undead."
"This treasure is actually an amulet that contains a soul. The soul inside is a captain of Blessed Island. He not only obeys the user's orders, but also knows where to find the treasure."
Kahn explained that the previous owner of the amulet was the unlucky vastaya birdman they met in the No Earn No Return Tavern. After his death, the treasures he owned fell into Kahn's hands. One of the few treasures taken from the island.
"Do you want me to send someone to help you search for the treasure?" Jael's smile suddenly became meaningful, and he thought he had guessed Kahn's purpose: "As long as I post a reward, countless explorers will flock to it." To the Shadow Isles."
It's just that Kahn let him down.
"Not really."
"What's that for?"
"For a business, I want to buy a batch of Hextech weapons, a full set of diving suits and maintenance technicians. As long as you can help me contact the purchase channel, this treasure will be yours."
To be honest, this made Jael feel that Kahn is a bit vulgar. Hearing the treasures in a dangerous place makes people feel exciting, but a business without a trace of risk makes people lack interest and have no pursuit at all.
Even though he thought so, he would not refuse the good things that came to his door.He is the heir of the Midarda family, this requirement is not simple.
"Well, there happens to be a batch of banned Hex vinyl muskets in the warehouse. I'll go back and ask someone to count them, and then I'll tell you the price."
"Why is it disabled? Is there a security risk?" Kahn asked.
"Yes, this Hex-powered weapon has some safety hazards, and its manufacture and use have been stopped. But I can have people modify these weapons to reduce their safety hazards."
After all, Hextech is expensive to manufacture, and no one can swallow this breath after spending a lot of investment but not getting any returns.These merchants will definitely find a way to exchange them into money, and they won't let them just rot in the warehouse.
"Will the power also decrease?"
"Of course, stability and power cannot be combined."
"Then I hope you don't modify it and let it maintain its original power. Tell me the hidden safety hazards, the more detailed the better."
Jarl's expression suddenly became subtle. After a while of detailed discussion, Kahn already understood the problems with these weapons, but he didn't think it was a problem.
The so-called safety hazard is that this kind of weapon will explode after overheating after continuous use, and once this kind of power weapon explodes, the user will undoubtedly die.
Sarah bought this batch of weapons mainly to deter the Noxus navy and fight against the undead that ate Soul Night. Warriors who dare to face the undead head-on have long put life and death aside.
"So it's settled. I need you to send these weapons to Bilgewater."
This kind of vinyl musket is a weapon prohibited by Piltover law, but he doesn't care if it involves arms smuggling. Anyway, Sarah is doing business, and Bilgewater is also a lawless place, Piltover It doesn't matter.
"Leave the address," Jael said.After exchanging contact information, Kahn left after putting down the small box.
The matter Sarah explained seems to be going well so far, thanks to the fact that he happened to meet such a wonderful existence as Jalmidarda, who was born in a rich and powerful family, but went to make money but was interested in treasure hunting.He just gave away a broken amulet in his hand and settled the matter. He thought it would be difficult to find someone who had the goods and was willing to sell them.
As for the treasures of the Shadow Isles...is that within the reach of ordinary people?That box can be used as a talisman, but if it is used as a map, it is just looking for death.
In the next two days, Kahn was relatively free, taking Kaisha to spend around, and exchanged all the money in his hand for delicious food and brand-new experiences.
The menu of the dessert shop downstairs in the hotel has been ordered all over, and I have also tried many kinds of coffee and dairy products. Kasha is very happy to eat, and the sweet taste will make people feel a sense of happiness.
When they went to the theater to watch a play, they also met Orianna who was tired from work and came out to fish, and treated her to a drink.Orianna was very happy and talked about her affairs.
She said that she lost her mother since she was a child, so her father doted on her extraordinarily, as if he made up for all the debt he owed his mother to her.Her father was all right, but he forbade her to go outside the block, so whenever she wanted to know what was going on outside, she had to come to the theater and watch sitcoms.
Out of kindness, Kaisha told her some stories, all about her experience with Kahn, but she was picked out and told from the perspective of a bystander.Orianna was fascinated by it, and Kahn suggested at the end of the story that she try to change her father, and emphasized that girls must protect themselves when they go out.
One morning, the hotel waiter handed Kahn a vacuum tube.
He asked what it was, and the waiter said that it was a sound-transmitting tube, and there was a recording inside, which could be heard as long as it was opened.These tubes will be transported quickly in a special pipeline, and then delivered to the person by the courier, and the hotel can collect them on behalf of them.
After the waiter left, Kahn closed the door and called Kaisha to listen.He followed the procedure to open the tube, and Jael's voice came from inside.
The content was very short. He said that the goods had been counted, and the time and place had been set for Kahn to inspect the goods. If there was no problem, they would leave the port.
"It turns out that Jarr asked us to leave the address before to send this thing over. It feels similar to the Echo Stone I encountered in Ionia." Kahn admired, he had no idea that Piltover had such a thing. Although the remote communication method is not very convenient, it is considered very advanced in this world.
Chapter 483 Get the goods
Kahn followed suit, recorded the sound into the sound transmission tube, and then gave the waiter a small tip for him to send it back to the courier.
The content of the recording is to postpone the agreed date by two days. He will first go to Orianna to get the prosthetic body and then go to the pier for a gun inspection.
When he went downstairs to buy breakfast, he bought a newspaper and read it while eating with Kaisha.
"Huh? Professor Heimerdinger's new invention was stolen?" Kaisha gnawed on the bread, and suddenly saw a breaking news: "Someone wants that thing?"
"I just said, that thing is not completely useless, perhaps it is necessary to use this invention to achieve certain purposes." Kahn said comfortably after taking a sip of warm coffee.
"The police are already involved, and I really want to see who is going to steal this thing."
The news published in the newspaper is just the talk of the two after dinner, and they will soon forget it.
Two days later, at the previously agreed time, Kahn and Kaisha went to the workshop to find Orianna.
"No, things are ready, let's see for yourself. No problem, that's it."
A delicate finger was stuffed into a cotton-filled box, and Kahn took it out for a closer look.The fingers are made of brass, and the surface has been polished and anti-rust, so it reflects a warm luster and does not feel too cold to the touch, just like a lover's hand.
Kahn held the prosthetic index finger, and stretched out his hand to hold Kaisha's hand to compare the feeling. To be precise, he held her index finger... Forget it, let's take back what we said just now.
"Try how it feels for me." Kasha took the prosthetic body from Kahn's hand, and broke it with a little force, feeling a little resistance. Orianna said it was normal, simulating the feeling of bending a human finger.
"I feel that this prosthetic body is nothing special except for its exquisiteness." Kaisha said, putting the prosthetic body back into the box. She didn't seem to be very interested in precision instruments.
Orianna was naturally dissatisfied, and said: "The biggest advantage of the prosthetic body made by our family is the excellent feedback, which will make the user feel that they are not using a cold machine, but using real flesh and blood. Sometimes even Better than the original flesh."
"As a prosthetic body, it is already very good." Kahn closed the box: "Let's do this first, and bring it back for debugging if there is any problem."
The excellent feedback that Orianna said can only be experienced by the user after wearing it, and he can't feel it without breaking his hand.Then he asked Kai'Sa to pick up the prepared gift and give it to Orianna.
Orianna was still very happy to receive a gift.Sometimes they made prosthetics that satisfied clients, and some generous clients returned gifts, but mostly for her father.It was the first time for her to receive a gift in return.
It's just that when she saw the gift, she was puzzled and couldn't guess the intention of the two: "Filtering breathing mask...why did you give me this thing?"
