"Huh?!" Li Lin glanced at Victor in surprise, "Singing?"
Hearing him say this, Victor seemed a little disappointed. "Didn't you hear it either?"
"No...wait a minute, did you hear it singing? When did it start?"
It is not surprising to hear the singing of the primordial crystal. After all, it is the place where the souls of the Shell People of all generations reside.
Li Lin still remembered that in the original world line, it was not only Seraphine who heard the Primordial Crystal singing. Jayce also had a similar experience when he was studying the Primordial Crystal.
But unlike Seraphine who chose to listen carefully, this guy Jace didn't take it seriously at all.
Unable to extract energy from the crystal, he simply chose to cut off a small piece for research and discovered the amazing energy hidden inside the crystal.
Later, Victor, who had mechanically ascended, stole the original crystal. Jayce used the cut piece as the power core of "Mercury's Hammer" and went down to the underworld to fight Victor and his army. In the end, he was forced to shatter the crystal.
This is also the beginning of the main universe where Ike picked up the crystal fragments and invented the "Z-drive" time-reversal device.
Li Lin wasn't surprised that Victor heard the Primordial Crystal's singing.
"This afternoon..." Victor hesitated for a moment. "According to the plan, once the core power supply device is completed, I'll go to the lab and install it on the abandoned robot I found in the sewer."
He sat down on the chair beside him and dragged his hands over his face, “But just after I finished this, I heard some strange singing. I felt very strange and asked Skye, but she didn’t hear anything.
"Finally, I discovered that the sound was coming from this primordial crystal."
Li Lin was silent for a moment. "Can you describe its singing?"
"It's a language I've never heard before. I can't describe it in detail, but I just feel it's full of epic and tragic feeling..."
Victor hummed the melody he heard for Li Lin. It was somewhat similar to the one he had heard before in Nashram, but the tune was quite different.
"After hearing it sing, I went to ask Professor Heimerdinger, but he said this was normal and not something to worry about...
"Afterwards, I went to the library and looked through the few documents I had. I discovered that it actually belonged to a Shurima race called the Shell People."
Victor's tone was full of confusion. "I suspect this crystal is very important to the Shell People."
Your guess is correct.
Li Lin answered in his mind, and at the same time turned on his "data-based thinking" to check the status of the device in front of him.
Fortunately, this crystal was not directly dug out from a Shellman, which means it is currently ownerless.
"I seem to have discovered a secret that no one else has discovered. I think... we shouldn't use it anymore."
"Can you change the minds of the councillors?"
When Li Lin asked this, Victor was stunned for a moment, "You mean..."
"Now, even Professor Heimerdinger advocates the use of Primordial Crystals, although I tend to believe that he doesn't understand the Shell People and Primordial Crystals either.
"The Primordial Crystal has played a huge role in promoting the development of Piltover. With our current voice, we have no way of shaking the minds of the councilors, right?"
"But..." Victor wanted to object, but what Li Lin said was indeed true.
He fell silent, lost in thought with a troubled look on his face.
After a moment, he pressed the issue: "What if we found an alternative energy source?"
"Oil was first discovered by Gorsk Industries, and recently the Alchemy Barons have found new oil fields."
"Perhaps we could..."
Li Lin shook his head and interrupted Victor directly: "But have you ever considered that the energy provided by a primordial crystal is far greater than that of oil? What qualifications do you have to ask the parliamentarians to give up such a precious resource?"
Victor fell silent again, a thoughtful look on his face. "I think I understand what you mean."
He leaned on his cane, stood up from the chair, walked to the workbench, turned off the device, and took the core device that beat at the same rate as his heart in his hand.
"Professor Heimerdinger doesn't understand politics and has almost no say among the council members, but that's exactly what's needed to ban the use of the Primordial Crystal.
"We must first achieve something tangible so that the councilors will take our opinions seriously... Only then can we help this magical race that has existed since ancient times."
Li Lin nodded, a smile on his face. "That's what I thought when I saw this batch of primordial crystals in Shurima."
"Then let's install the core in the machine first..."
"Wait a moment."
Li Lin stopped the anxious Victor and took out three bottles of genetic enhancement potions from the folding grooves of the armor.
"Drink this first."
