Legends of Runeterra

"Master Li En, this is the latest research result of our laboratory - Hex gravity field."

Through the transparent glass, Victor pointed to a disc-shaped device with a diameter of more than 20 meters and composed of energy pipes, and introduced it to Li En with pride.

"It can be adjusted between 0.3 times and 7.3 times the standard gravity. If overclocked, it can reach a maximum of times the gravity and last for eleven seconds."

"Well, it's a very good device. How do you plan to develop it next?"

“There are currently two plans. One is to reduce the size of the Hex gravity field so that it can be used more flexibly in various scenarios, or even to create a disposable gravity bomb.

The second is to further expand its scale, increase its energy efficiency, and further raise its threshold. If possible, the areas of Zaun that have sunk the most will be able to float again.

According to our calculations, the entire Zaun is sinking at a rate of at least three centimeters per year. If this problem is not solved, there will be less and less habitable places in Zaun."

"Can the replenishment of Hex Crystals keep up with the consumption?"

"Yes, sir. There are only a few key places that need to be equipped with hextech gravity fields, not the entire Zaun."

“Well, let’s continue developing it.

Perhaps you can try to apply the Hextech gravity field to vehicles so that they can float above the road, thus getting rid of the problem that traditional vehicles are restricted by road conditions.

The area under our jurisdiction is still OK, but the rest of the area is still really bad."

"You mean... a suspended vehicle?"

"That's right, but there are a lot of things involved. Don't be in a hurry. Just slowly accumulate experience and try to develop it."

"Okay sir, this is indeed an interesting and challenging subject."

"Ah."

Watching Victor talking harmoniously and naturally with Li En, Ike opened his mouth several times but said nothing.

"correct!"

Victor turned quickly.

"Master Li En, Ike has studied a very surprising and interesting topic. If you don't mind, could you give us a little more time to introduce it to you?"

"Of course, I came here just to hear your results."

Li En nodded and looked at the little guy beside him with a smile, whose height was just up to his waist.

"Come on Ike, let me see your project."

"Yes, Li...Master Li En, please follow me!"

After Ike finished speaking, he ran towards his laboratory excitedly.

He slowed down after running out of the door, turned around and looked at the ground in front of him with an embarrassed expression.

"I'm sorry, Master Li En, Ike..."

"It's okay, I understand. Let's catch up."

After passing through a series of security checkpoints, the group finally arrived at their destination.

Compared to Victor's laboratory, Ike's laboratory is much smaller and there are no people recording experimental data.

Trotting into the room, Ike clicked quickly on the operating table, and then a platform slowly rose through the glass.

"Ike, I remember the topic you showed me before...it shouldn't be this, right?"

"That's right, Mr. Victor. The previous one can only be regarded as my class assignment. The next one is the result of my own research!"

"this..."

Upon hearing this, Viktor was a little hesitant. There was one thing he had to admit, during this time together, the little guy Ekko showed such talent that even he, who relied on his talent to fight his way through the Piltover Academy of Sciences and become the assistant of the great inventor Heimerdinger, felt a little inferior to him.

Although it may be because the two have access to different levels of knowledge, he is indeed not as good as Ike is now at his age.

But the common problem of geniuses is "arrogance". It's not that Victor is worried that if Ike's demonstration fails, it will cause some bad influence. He still understands Li En's mind very well. A mere failure will never make Ike lose value in his heart.

What really worries Victor is that this "arrogance" is really not good for Ike's future growth.

"Come on Ike, show me your research results."

"Yes, Master Li En!"

Seeing Li En speak, Victor stopped talking and stood silently by the side, watching Ike press a series of buttons on the console.

A building block was placed on the platform by a robotic arm, along with a strange-looking Hextech device, and then under the gaze of Li En and the others.

"boom!"

The block hit by the bullet shattered into pieces, and at this moment, Ike pressed the button in front of him.

"Om~!"

The energy of the Hextech crystal exploded, and then as if time had gone back, the flying wood chips gathered together again and combined into building blocks.

“Crack! Chi!”

The overloaded Hextech device cracked into pieces, and hot air gushed out.

Obviously, the device is no longer functional.

"This...this is!?"

"Hehe~! How's it going, Teacher Victor?"

Looking at Victor who suddenly came to the glass window with a surprised face, Ike rubbed his nose, smiled proudly, and secretly observed Li En's reaction out of the corner of his eye.

"Pah pah pah~!"

"Ike, you are indeed a true genius."

"Ike, how did you do that? You turned back the time of the Jenga cube!?"

"Hehe~! Mr. Victor, don't worry. Mr. Li En, what do you think?"

"If I'm not mistaken, this is not 'time reversal', but you, Ike, have superimposed the phases of this building block..."

As Li En spoke, the complacency on Ike's face slowly faded, and a look of disbelief appeared on his dark brown face.

"Just now, the wood block shattered, triggering the Hextech device, allowing the cube to return from the alien plane to the real world, thus showing a scene like 'time reversal', is that right?"

"..."

"No... That's right, Master Li En, you are the real genius!"

"No, Ike, I just figured it out using other methods. The real amazing thing is that you developed this use of Hextech crystals from scratch."

"Crack~!"

A thin, slender hand gently patted Ike's shoulder. He turned around and saw Victor looking at him with certainty.

"Good job, Ike."

"Hehe~! Master Li En, Teacher Victor, you are too kind.

Without your help, I would not be able to develop it. Besides, the 'Phase Shift' device is still very crude. The building blocks are the limit of its load, and it will be scrapped after one use..."

“Hahaha~! It doesn’t matter, it’s just a matter of time. I believe you can do it, Ike, Victor.”

"Yes, Lord Li En."

"I have submitted this project to Ike. I will take him to Renata to get funding approval later."

"Thank you, Master Li En!"

"Thank you, sir!"
