Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 25 Experiment, energy crystal plus power arm
"Open the door, open the door quickly! What's going on inside?"

Before Li Lin and Jess were happy for too long, there was a fierce knock on the studio door.

Caitlin's father Erro's voice came from outside the door.

Li Lin opened the door, and Jess followed behind him.

Standing outside the door was Mrs. Karina, Caitlin, the butler and several servants besides Mr. Erro.

Seeing the two of them, Mrs. Karina frowned, and shouted in a rather serious tone: "Li Lin, Jess, what are you two doing? Everyone in the house heard the commotion here!"

"A small experiment, ma'am." Jess had a bright smile on his face, "But let Li Lin explain the details to you."

Karina's examining eyes focused on Li Lin.

"Ahem... I think we have developed a new technology that is enough to usher in a new era."

Caitlin blinked her beautiful eyes, and asked in confusion, "New Era? Didn't you invent the generator?"

Li Lin smiled and shook his head, "No, the generator just changes the current situation of relying on steam and hex crystals as power sources, and the results of our experiment just now can push Piltover to a new level, using technology to control magic era."

magic……

There was a few seconds of silence in the air.

"Use, use technology to control magic?!" Erro's eyes widened. "Are you crazy?"

Not only him, even Caitlin and the butler and servants behind them all had shocked expressions on their faces.

In contrast, Mrs. Karina appeared calmer, "You succeeded?"

"Of course." Li Lin stretched out his right hand.

In the palm of his hand lies a tarnished hex crystal, which looks no different from one that has been depleted of energy.

But no one present questioned that.

Both Li Lin and Jess are top craftsmen recognized by Karina Gilaman, and they hold a serious and rigorous attitude towards science.

They have no reason to lie.

"You guys are secretly studying Hex crystals!"

Although there was a little sullenness in Karina's tone, Li Lin didn't see the slightest look of anger on her face.

What's more, the study of crystals was actually her silent acquiescence, but she didn't say it explicitly.

Otherwise, she would not have allowed Li Lin to continue researching the Hextech revolver last time.

Li Lin ignored Mrs. Karina's questioning, and stretched out her right hand in front of her.

"I named it the Hex Energy Crystal, which is made from the Hex Technology Crystal. Simply put, it is an advanced version of the Hex Crystal.

"Compared with ordinary hex crystals, energy crystals are not only more stable and will not explode due to violent collisions, but also provide several times more energy than ordinary crystals.

"The most important thing is that it doesn't need to be recovered and recharged after the energy is exhausted like ordinary crystals. It can absorb the magic elements in the air to recharge itself all the time."

Karina took the energy crystal and observed it carefully. There was nothing special about it, and then returned it to Li Lin.

"This, how is this possible?" Elro still feels that this kind of technology is very unrealistic. "The most important thing in casting magic is talent, which is the innate ability of a mage..."

Before Erro finished speaking, Mrs. Karina interrupted him forcibly, and continued to say to Li Lin: "Empty words are useless, Li Lin, as a craftsman, I think you should know this."

She knew very well that the Hex crystal technology was monopolized by the Philos family, and there was a Gray Lady as a threat behind the scenes.

Although on the surface, the major families dare not touch the interests of the Philos family at all, but in fact, every family secretly wants to share a piece of cake.

If Li Lin's so-called "technology controls magic" theory holds true, then the Gilaman family will at least become the second most powerful family in Piltover besides the Myrdalda family.

As for Lady Gray...

What she pursued was the stability of Piltover and Zaun, and the only thing she had to deal with was Philos, the old poisonous snake who was the head of the family, Stevan.

As long as this technical theory is announced in time, the old poisonous snake will not dare to send Mrs. Gray to attack the Gilaman family.

Mrs. Karina's face was expressionless, and a strange gleam flickered in her blue eyes.

"Please come with me." Li Lin invited her into his studio.

"You go back first."

Karina dismissed the butler and servants, and walked into the messy house with Caitlin and Erro.

"Oh my god, it looks like you've been robbed here." Caitlin covered her mouth and exclaimed.

Don't tell me, you guessed it right, I did meet a thief not long ago.

Li Lin answered in his heart.

He came to the shelf in the corner of the room and introduced to the three of them: "This is a part of the mechanical power hand... device I invented in the past few days. It needs Hex crystals as an energy source."

Mr. Erro said unhappily: "My boy, have you been secretly studying the Hex crystal?"

"Honey, don't interrupt Li Lin, let him finish."

His wife had already spoken, and Erro shook his head, but he had nothing to say.

Li Lin opened the cover of the power arm to fill the energy core, and stuffed the energy crystal into the groove.

Following the flickering of several tiny blue electric arcs, a stream of white steam was ejected from the power arm, and countless mechanical gears snapped together and expanded rapidly.

Li Lin aimed his right arm at the power arm, and slowly put it into the unfolded part of the mechanical parts.

As the five fingers lightly clenched into fists, white steam spewed out again from the gap between the parts of the power arm, and quickly gathered together, clinging to his arm.

At the same time, the information attributes provided by the system panel in Li Lin's mind have changed a lot compared to last time:
[Exoskeleton mechanical power right arm (excellent): A wearable mechanical device composed of a steel frame, which can use energy to exert extra strength that is difficult to achieve with the physical body. 】

[Attributes (Mechanical): 1000 HP, 500 Energy, 8 Combat Power]

【Ability Effect】

[Passive · Reinforced Alloy: Made of high-quality alloy, it provides an additional 150 HP. 】

[Passive Energy Crystal Core: Use energy crystals as the core to provide an additional 1000 energy. 】

[Passive·Recharging: The energy core can absorb the magic elements in the air to recharge itself, recovering 3% of the maximum energy per second. 】

[Active Overload charging: Consume 15% of the current energy supply core's energy at one time for 3 seconds of overload charging, the next attack can cause fatal damage to the target, and at the same time cause an impact on the fan-shaped range of 2 meters behind the target. 】

[Active Overload Operation: The energy core is overloaded, temporarily gaining an additional 500 HP and energy for the current mechanical creation, and the maximum energy recovered per second is increased to 10% (the energy crystal will be scrapped after being used 3 times). 】

After reading the information prompted by the system, Li Lin almost took a breath.

After adding the Hex energy crystal, not only the quality of the power arm has increased by two levels, but various attributes have also been greatly improved.

Calculated together, the energy crystal plus the power arm provided a total of 1150 health points and 1500 energy points.

Moreover, the overload charging skill of the power arm has become similar to Wei's E skill in the game, which can punch the enemy while causing damage behind him.

Li Lin was stunned for a moment, then looked at Mrs. Karina: "It's not easy to demonstrate here, can we change the place?"

"Go to the safe explosion-proof room underground."

Almost every family of Hex mechanics will be equipped with such a room for experimenting with dangerous items, and the Gilaman family is no exception.

A few minutes later, Li Lin, Jess, Caitlin, and Gilamans came to a huge underground space.

At Karina's signal, Mr. Herro presses a button on the wall.

Not far from Li Lin, a hatch on the ground slowly slid open, and a huge granite block at least three meters high and wide slowly rose.

"Is this okay?" Mrs. Karina asked.

"Enough." Li Lin nodded and walked slowly to the granite stone.

He raised the right arm covered by the power arm to set a posture, and manipulated the power arm to enter the "overcharged" state.

Immediately, countless mechanical parts were quickly reassembled and assembled, and the entire arm was covered in dazzling blue light, spewing out a large amount of steam.

3 seconds is fleeting.

When the power arm was fully charged, Li Lin's eyes froze, and he punched forward suddenly.

--boom!

Accompanied by the ear-piercing bang when the metal fist made contact with the granite, a transparent shock wave spread to the whole body of the boulder, and then shot backwards through it.

The whole piece of granite centered on the position where Li Lin's fist was located, showing cracks like spider webs, and then quickly spread to other places.

In just two or three seconds, the granite, like a piece of fragile glass, completely shattered into countless small stones, scattered all over the ground.

Jess, Caitlin, and the Gilamans were stunned.

Li Lin withdrew his right hand, and the corner of his mouth curled up, "This is the power of the combination of technology and magic."
