Genshin Impact: Starting from Liyue to Build Infrastructure

Klee saw Albedo arriving, and her face lit up with excitement.

"Brother Albedo!!"

Seeing Klee, Albedo couldn't help but smile.

"Klee!"

Klee immediately threw herself into Albedo's arms, overjoyed that he had come.

This was an unexpected but delightful surprise.

"Mr. Albedo, you finally arrived."

Sucrose, upon seeing Albedo, looked as if she had finally found her anchor.

Hearing Sucrose's words, Albedo nodded and then turned his gaze toward the blueprints drawn behind Takumi.

"Hello, Mr. Takumi."

"This is our first meeting."

"Are you looking for me because of the designs behind you?"

Seeing the drawings on the board and reading the labels, Albedo instantly grasped Takumi's intent.

Using Chaos Devices as an energy source and Chaos Mechanisms as a power system to create a vehicle?

Pondering its feasibility, Albedo considered the idea seriously.

He had thought of something similar before but had quickly abandoned the idea.

The research required a tremendous amount of funding.

With the limited funds provided by the Knights of Favonius, he had to prioritize other studies.

Most of his research funds even came from his part-time work as a painter.

Thus, he had placed such a project on hold indefinitely.

Noticing Albedo's thoughtful expression, Takumi's eyes lit up.

"It looks like you already have some ideas, Mr. Albedo?"

"Please, have a seat."

"Let's discuss this."

"I invited you here to help us develop a new means of transportation using alchemy."

"You must be familiar with Chaos Mechanisms and Chaos Devices?"

"They will serve as the power and energy sources."

"Two major challenges are already solved."

"The next issue is controlling the power output."

"We need to regulate speed, braking, and steering."

"Additionally, we need to consider practical vehicle components."

Takumi explained everything in detail.

Hearing this, the alchemists present exchanged glances.

After contemplating for a moment, Albedo spoke.

"I can help solve the issues with Chaos Devices and Chaos Mechanisms."

"However, directly using the components from Ruin Guards is impossible."

"That means we must create imitations."

"And they'll need modifications."

"It's not a major issue—I am confident I can develop them."

"The rest, however, will be up to you."

Utilizing authentic Chaos Devices from Ruin Guards was unrealistic.

Current craftsmanship made it impossible to replicate them perfectly.

Even if he attempted to recreate them identically, it wouldn't work.

Therefore, the only option was to imitate their functionality.

And the imitations likely wouldn't be as powerful as the originals.

"Imitations will suffice."

"After all, we don't need anything too powerful."

"I'm well aware of how terrifying Ruin Guards' energy systems are."

"They can operate for hundreds of years without rest, without exhausting their energy supply."

"That kind of technology would be overkill for a vehicle."

Takumi sighed, acknowledging the sheer brilliance of Khaenri'ah's technological advancements.

Too bad they had delved into things best left untouched.

Otherwise, all of Teyvat might have already entered an advanced technological era.

Hearing Takumi's approval, Albedo nodded.

"Then, regarding funding..."

At this, he looked directly at Takumi.

Research required funding.

Without money, progress was impossible.

It was expensive to experiment, manufacture, and refine designs.

Hearing this, Takumi waved his hand dismissively.

"Funding isn't an issue—take whatever you need."

"If you run out of funds, just inform Keqing."

"She will ensure your needs are met."

"Also, when the vehicle is completed and sold, Mr. Albedo will receive a share of the profits."

"So, there's no need to worry about money."

Ningguang had plenty of resources.

Albedo could focus on his research without concern.

Hearing Takumi's confident assurance, Albedo's eyes brightened.

No financial constraints?

This was ideal.

He had always worried about running out of money before completing his research.

That frustration wouldn't be an issue here.

Reassured, Albedo no longer hesitated.

Takumi then turned to the Liyue alchemists.

"Your job is to assist Mr. Albedo in completing this project."

"How much you learn in the process is up to you."

"First, we will construct the vehicle's frame."

"Then, we will refine the design."

"Wheels, brakes—these will be your responsibilities."

"I expect your best efforts."

"This vehicle is crucial to Liyue's next phase of development."

"We cannot afford delays."

Hearing Takumi's emphasis, the alchemists immediately straightened up.

One by one, they nodded firmly.

After assigning tasks, Takumi dismissed them to begin preparations.

Soon, only Takumi, Albedo, Klee, and Sucrose remained in the room.

Once the other alchemists had left, Takumi resumed his conversation with Albedo.

They discussed how to harness Electro Slimes' energy for lighting, heating, and other applications.

While Takumi could design small-scale versions of these systems, large-scale power distribution required Albedo's expertise.

With his limited alchemical knowledge, Takumi's attempts at power systems would likely overload.

Transformers were beyond his ability.

But Albedo could manage them.

If Albedo was in charge, there would be no issues.

After hearing Takumi's ideas, Albedo looked at him in astonishment.

"Mr. Takumi, your ideas are remarkable."

"You're not from this world, are you?"

Albedo quickly reached this conclusion.

Though Takumi possessed a Vision, his thinking was unlike that of anyone from Teyvat.

From the way he spoke, it seemed as though he had seen all the technologies he described firsthand.

Thus, Albedo was convinced that Takumi wasn't native to this world.

Klee and Sucrose also looked at Takumi curiously.

"Brother Takumi, are you a traveler?"

Klee's eyes sparkled with curiosity.

Takumi wasn't surprised that Albedo had figured it out.

After all, Klee's mother wasn't originally from this world either.

"Yes, I come from another world."

"The technologies I describe exist in my world."

"However, replicating them exactly here is difficult."

"So, I must integrate them with Teyvat's unique technological framework."

In Teyvat, travelers from other worlds weren't unheard of.

Unfortunately, none of them seemed interested in advancing Teyvat's development.

Perhaps they all saw themselves as mere visitors passing through.
