"How do you know the substance inside is magic?" Li Lin felt a little confused.
Jace clearly didn't know that the energy source of the crystal was magic. Did I remember it wrong?
In Li Lin's impression, the first crystal that Jace studied was not an artificial crystal, but the original crystal of the Shell People discovered by the expedition team of the Jiraman family from under the yellow sand of Shurima.
However, the reality is that Jace's first research was on artificial technological crystals, and he also discovered magical elements in them, which was quite different from the background story he knew.
It seems that the background story is just words after all, and cannot be fully replaced by the real world...
Li Lin was cautious and secretly reminded himself not to be blindly confident just because he knew the background story.
"It's a long story. It happened when I was a kid."
Jace subconsciously touched a bracelet on his wrist that was inlaid with dull blue crystals.
"My mother and I once encountered a snowstorm in an uninhabited area near Mount Targon. Due to exhaustion, my mother collapsed in the snow. Just when I was in despair, a wizard in a robe holding a staff appeared before us.
"He cast a miraculous spell, and many mysterious symbols appeared around us. They surrounded my mother and me. After a moment of blurring our consciousness, we were teleported to Kalamanda, on the coast of the Conqueror's Sea in the northwest corner of Shurima..."
Jace stared at the bracelet on his wrist, a look of reminiscence on his face.
"Later, I found records about those magical symbols in the books in the library. They are called runes, a type of rune magic, also known as arcane magic.
"Unlike common elemental magic, arcane magic is extremely rare and pure, capable of releasing immense energy in an instant. It's very similar to Hextech crystals, and I saw similar runes within them."
After listening to Jess's story, Li Lin's expression changed.
Runes and arcane magic, if Li Lin only looks at these words, he will only think of the rune mage Ryze and the arcane energy body Xerath.
He knew that the Hextech crystal developed based on the original crystal of the Shell People was a combination of magic and technology, but he didn't expect it to be a kind of arcane magic.
Li Lin was silent for a long time. "So, what do you want me to help you with?"
"I'm searching for a way to control magic with science. If successful, we can do more than just stabilize Hextech crystals. We can apply them to various fields, even completely conquering nature..."
The more Jace spoke, the more excited he became, but the more Li Lin listened, the more worried he became.
Wow, conquering nature... Lissandra exclaimed that she was an expert!
If Volibear knew about this, he would probably turn into Thunderbolt and rush to Piltover overnight to use his R and sit on you...
Boy, your idea is very dangerous!
Li Lin quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and asked, "You want me to help you with your research?"
"That's right!" Jace stood up suddenly, startling Li Lin. "With your help, I'm sure there will be a breakthrough soon!"
"Uh, well... let me think about it."
Li Lin stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.
In fact, he didn't want to get involved in this mess, but his original plan included getting in touch with and studying Hextech crystals as soon as possible.
After all, as a mechanic, with the sponsorship of the Gilaman family, he certainly has no shortage of resources.
After all, the mechanic is not as strong as the warrior, nor as powerful as the mage, which means he must have a set of power armor similar to "Iron Man" for self-defense.
Since it is a power armor, it requires a powerful energy source to drive it.
Li Lin didn't know whether he could achieve controlled nuclear fusion through the system in the future. After all, this was a technology that had not yet been achieved in reality.
Besides, controlled nuclear fusion alone is not enough. To reach the level of Iron Man’s Ark reactor, at least more advanced cold nuclear fusion technology is needed... These can only be thought about in dreams.
Judging from Piltover's current technology, it is probably still hundreds of years away from developing nuclear energy, but using Hextech crystals as a power source is a good choice.
After some careful consideration, Li Lin looked up at Jace and asked, "How far have you progressed with your research on crystals?"
"Because the crystal is incomplete, I haven't made much progress so far."
Jace looked down and hesitated.
"However, through various tests and analysis of the crystal's composition, I was able to roughly reverse engineer its concept blueprint and even record the incomplete runes engraved within it..."
"You recorded the runes?"
Hearing this, Li Lin's eyes lit up and a bold idea emerged in his mind.
My [Data-Based Thinking] skill might allow me to comprehend arcane magic through runes...
If I can really succeed, I will be able to truly master Hextech crystal technology!
"Where are your research results? Take me there first. If I have any clues, I might be able to help you."
"Of course, no problem!" Hearing Li Lin agree to help him, Jess walked towards the door excitedly, "Come on, it's in my studio..."
…
…
A few minutes later, in the innermost room of Jace's studio.
Li Lin stared at the crystal fragments in the Hextech resonance device placed on the table and was too tired to complain.
"You're just going to put something this important out in the open? You're really too careless..."
