Victor tucked the core device under his arm and took the potion bottle from Li Lin with doubt. He looked at the slightly sticky liquid inside and asked, "What is this?"

"Didn't you and Jace ask me why I suddenly grew taller and stronger when you were at Gilaman's house some time ago?"

Li Lin smiled and placed the other two bottles of potion on the table. "It's called Gene Enhancement Potion. It can greatly improve all aspects of the body's quality. The weaker the physique, the more obvious the effect will be."

Victor raised his eyebrows, and his eyes changed as he looked at the potion in his hand. He did not doubt Li Lin's statement at all.

The changes in his body were there, and he had no reason to lie to himself.

“Are there any side effects?”

Victor looked down at his right leg which was fixed with a metal brace, his expression slightly moved.

If I drink it, will my body...

"As for the side effects...it'll take at least 30 minutes to take effect. Plus, your strength will increase dramatically, so it'll take some time to adjust."

"It's equivalent to no side effects." Victor took a deep breath and looked at Li Lin sincerely. "This is very important to me. Thank you."

"What are you talking about? We are good friends, shouldn't we help each other?"

"Friends..." Victor was stunned for a long time, and then a bright smile appeared on his face. "Yes, friends."

As he spoke, Victor handed the bottle of medicine back to Li Lin and returned the other two bottles to him.

Li Lin didn't understand his behavior, "...What are you doing?"

"Please keep it for me first."

"You won't drink now? Wait 30 minutes, and maybe you'll be free of the cane."

Victor shook his head. "Now is not the time. I'm afraid I won't be able to control my strength and damage the machine."

He walked past Li Lin leaning on his cane and turned back to signal him to follow him. "Evolution Day is coming soon. Right now, the main thing is to finish the robot. This is the achievement I want to show this year."

…

…

More than ten minutes later, the two strolled to the college's laboratory building.

Li Lin originally wanted to bring Victor over directly, but he was afraid that his body could not bear it, so he did not express this idea.

The night lab is open to lecturer level and above.

In addition to the laboratory next to the office, each lecturer can also apply for a research area in the laboratory building, but there is a time limit.

If there are no research results for a period of time, the applied experimental area will be withdrawn and you will have to wait a long time before applying again.

Victor applied for a laboratory to study intelligent robots more than three months ago.

Since the auxiliary chips at that time were not yet intelligent, Victor's main design content was how to make a core device powered by the original crystal.

After the Gilaman expedition brought back the Primordial Crystals and donated three of them to the academy for research, with Heimerdinger's care, Viktor immediately applied for a Primordial Crystal and began debugging his own device.

Although smart chips are now available, they have not been put into mass use. In addition, Li Lin purchased the chips produced in the first few batches, so except for relevant personnel, most people do not know about its existence.

Moreover, Victor himself firmly believed that he could create an intelligent robot even without using smart chips.

After showing their ID cards to the security personnel along the way, the two soon arrived at a not-too-large laboratory on the second floor.

A ditch-picking robot made entirely of steel and bronze, with a pair of huge hands, a round upper body, short legs, and a copper-yellow body, lies quietly on a large workbench, with several unpowered mechanical arms hanging around it.

Li Lin looked at the robot that looked very familiar. It matched the image in his mind exactly, and he was sure that it was "Blitzcrank".

But is the Primordial Crystal still the same one from the original world line? Will Blitzcrank change after installing it?

The butterfly's wings have flapped, and the development and direction of the two cities have undergone tremendous changes. No matter how much you think about it, it will be of no avail. Li Lin is also helpless about this.

After Victor turned on the power of the laboratory, he controlled several mechanical arms to open the hatch on the robot's chest that was originally loaded with alchemical fuel.

After his transformation, this robot can no longer be loaded with alchemical fuel, and can only accommodate his own specially made original crystal core.

Wait until Victor loads the core power supply into the robot's chest, closes the hatch and screws it in.

Soon, a blue arc flashed across the bronze surface of the robot, immediately attracting the attention of Li Lin and Victor.

Immediately afterwards, more electric arcs jumped and crisscrossed, flashing bright blue light and making a "sizzling" sound.

"This is..." Victor was surprised. "This has never happened to other robots."

Rather than calling robots that clean up toxic waste in the gutter and follow fixed coded programs "steam robots," they should be more accurately called "alchemical technology robots."

However, they generate a lot of heat during normal operations, and use water to dissipate heat and emit steam. Over time, they were called steam robots by the people of Zaun.

According to the operating principles of these robots, they are chemically powered and have nothing to do with electrical energy, so how could they generate an electric arc?

This is exactly what Victor is confused about.

However, Li Lin was not surprised at all. Blitzcrank was an accidental product, and the electric arc was a side effect of using the primordial crystal.

To be more precise, Hextech crystals and energy crystals actually produce similar effects, but their energy reserves are limited. Unless it is a rechargeable Hextech device, the effects of other devices are not obvious.
