25 Chapter 25 - Experiment Time
"Open the door, quickly! What's going on inside?"
Before Lilin and Jayce were happy for too long, the door of the studio was knocked loudly.
The voice of Caitlyn's father, Tobias, came from outside the door.
Lilin opened the door, and Jayce behind him.
In addition to Mr. Tobias, standing outside the door were Madam Cassandra, Caitlyn, the butler, and several servants.
Seeing the two of them, Madam Cassandra frowned and in a rather serious tone: "Lilin, Jayce, what are you two doing? The whole house heard the commotion here!"
"A small experiment, ma'am." Jayce had a bright smile on his face, "but I'll ask Lilin to explain it to you."
Cassandra's eyes focused on Lilin.
"Cough cough... I think we have developed the technology of a new era."
Caitlyn blinked her eyes and asked, "New Era? Didn't you invent the generator already?"
Lilin smiled and shook his head, "No, the generator just changes the current state of relying on steam and hex crystals as power sources. The results of our experiment just now can push Piltover to a new height, using technology to control magic."
There was silence in the air for a few seconds.
"Use technology to control magic!?" Tobias's eyes widened, "Are your gears off alignment my boy?"
Not only him, Caitlyn, the butler and servants were all in awe at the absurdity of Lilin's statement.
In contrast, Madam Cassandra seemed more calm, "Have you succeeded?"
"Of course." Lilin held out his right hand.
In the palm of his hand lay a dull hex crystal that looked as if it had run out of energy.
Lilin and Jayce are both top craftsmen recognized by Cassandra Kiramman, and they have a serious and rigorous attitude towards science.
She accepted the study of crystals, although she didn't say it explicitly.
Otherwise, she would not have allowed Lilin to continue researching the hextech revolver last time.
Lilin explained, with the stone on his right hand in front of her.
"I named it hextech gemstone, which is made of hex crystal. It is an improved version of the hex crystal.
"Compared to ordinary hex crystals, the gemstones are not only more stable, they will not explode from slight collisions, but they can also provide several times more energy than ordinary crystals.
"The most important thing is that it does not need to be recycled and recharged after the energy is exhausted. It can absorb the magic elements in its surroundings to recharge itself."
Cassandra took the energy crystal and observed it carefully, there was nothing special about it, and then returned it to Lilin.
"This, how is this possible?" Tobias still felt that this technology was unrealistic. "The most important thing in magic is talent, which is the innate ability of a mage..."
Before Tobias's words were finished, Madam Cassandra interrupted him, and continued to say to Lilin, "Prove it to us, Lilin, as a craftsman, I think you should know this."
She knew very well that the hex crystal technology was monopolized by the Ferros family, and there was a Gray Lady behind the scenes.
Although on the surface the major clans did not dare to touch the interests of the Ferros family, in fact, each family secretly wanted to take a piece of the cake.
If Lilin's so-called "technology controlled magic" theory is true, then the Kiramman family will become the second most powerful family in Piltover after the Medarda family.
As for the Gray Lady...
What she pursues is the stability of Piltover and Zaun, and the only thing she needs to deal with in Ferros, is the head of the house, Stevan.
As long as this technology is revealed to the public, the old viper will not dare to send Camille to attack the Kiramman family.
Madam Cassandra's face was expressionless, and a strange glimmer of light flashed in her blue eyes.
"Please come with me." Lilin invited her into his studio.
"Stand by for your duties."
Cassandra dismissed the housekeeper and servants and walked into the cluttered room with Caitlyn and Tobias.
"It's like a burglar came by!" Caitlyn covered her mouth and exclaimed.
You guessed right, I did meet a few amateur thiefs not long ago.
Lilin answered silently.
He came to the shelf in the corner of the room and introduced the three of them: "This is a part of the mechanical powered arm I invented recently... It needs hex crystals as energy."
Mr. Tobias said angrily: "Boy, have you been secretly studying hex crystals?"
"Dear, don't interrupt Lilin, let him finish."
His wife had spoken, Tobias shook his head, and had nothing to say.
Lilin opened the power arm's energy core and placed the gemstone into the groove.
As several tiny blue arcs flickered, the power arm spewed out a stream of white steam, and countless mechanical gears quickly buckled and expanded.
Lilin inserted his right arm into the power arm and slowly put it into the unfolded part of the mechanical parts.
As his fingers clenched into a fist, white steam spewed out of the gap between the parts, quickly gathered together, and pressed against his arm, forming a seamless fit.
At the same time, the information attributes provided by the system panel in Lilin's mind have changed a lot compared to the last time:
[Exoskeleton mechanical power arm - right (Quality: Good): A wearable mechanical device composed of a steel frame, which can use energy to exert additional strength that is difficult to achieve with the physical body. ]
[Attribute (Mechanical): 1000 HP, 500 Energy, 8 Combat Strength]
[Effect]
[Passive - Enhanced Alloy: Made of high-quality alloys that provide an additional 150 health. ]
[Passive - Energy Crystal Core: Use the energy crystal as the core to provide an additional 1000 energy. ]
[Passive - Recharge: The energy core can absorb the magic elements in the air to recharge itself, recovering 3% of the maximum energy per second. ]
[Active - Overload Charge: Consume 15% of the current energy core for 3 seconds of overload charge at one time. The next attack can cause fatal damage to the target, and cause an impact 2-meter behind the target. ]
[Active - Overload operation: The energy core is overloaded, making the current mechanical creation temporarily gain an additional 500 health and energy, and the maximum energy recovered per second is increased to 10% (the energy crystal will be scrapped after 3 uses). ]
After reading the information prompted by the system, Lilin almost gasped.
After adding the hextech gemstone, not only the quality of the power arm has risen by two levels, but various attributes have also been greatly improved.
Taken together, the energy crystal and power arm provide a total of 1150 health points and 1500 energy points.
Moreover, the overload charging skill of the power arm became similar to Vi's e skill in the game, which can hit the enemy with one punch while also causing damage to the back.
Lilin was stunned for a while, and then looked at Madam Cassandra: "It's not a good place for a demonstration here."
"We will go to the underground target range then."
Almost every mechanic family has such a room for experimenting with dangerous inventions, and the Kiramman clan is no exception.
A few minutes later, Lilin, Jayce, Caitlyn, and the Kiramman couple came to a huge underground space.
At Cassandra's gesture, Mr. Tobais pressed a button.
Not far from Lilin, a hatch on the ground slowly slid open, and a huge granite block at least three meters tall and wide rose slowly.
"Is this okay?" Madam Cassandra asked.
"It'll be fine." Lilin nodded and walked slowly to the granite stone.
He raised his right arm, which was covered by the power arm, and took a stance, and turned on "overload charge".
Immediately, countless mechanical parts were quickly disassembled and reassembled, and the entire arm was covered with dazzling blue light, spewing out a large amount of steam.
3 seconds elapsed in a blink of an eye.
When the power arm was fully charged, Lilin's eyes narrowed and he suddenly punched forward.
BOOM!
As the metal fist collided with the granite, it made a loud noise, a shock wave spread outward at the impact point of the boulder, and then shot through the back.
The entire piece of granite showed a spider web-like crack centered on the location of Lilin's fist, and then quickly expanded out to other places.
In just two or three seconds, the granite was like a piece of fragile glass, completely shattered into countless small pieces, scattered all over the place.
Jayce, Caitlyn, and the Kirammans were stunned.
Lilin retracted his right hand, and smiled, "This is the power of technology … and magic."
