Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 6 Hextech Revolver
"Jess! You are really my lucky star!"

Li Lin stared at Jess hotly, making his scalp tingle.

Jess took two steps back calmly to distance himself from Li Lin, "Do you... have any clues? Through these incomplete runes?"

"Of course..." Li Lin had just uttered the words, but then he realized that he was not a mage. If it was a little unrealistic to say so, he immediately changed his words: "It's not just this."

Jess raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Lin in a daze.

"Actually, your design drawing also saved me some detours. Combined with these runes, I have some ideas... I just need to verify it."

The method of making the Hex Energy Crystal is not simple. During the production process, one must continuously inject magic power into a pure natural and flawless crystal to imprint runes.

However, Li Lin's mere 50 points of mana are not enough at all, so another method that uses Hex technology crystals as raw materials is more scientific and tricky:
First engrave all the runes needed to make energy crystals on a coin-sized metal plate, and then use the Hex resonance device to engrave the runes into the Hex technology crystal through the resonance flow of energy, thereby upgrading it For energy crystals.

According to the attributes given by the system, although the Hex energy crystal is not as good as the original crystal as the core of energy supply, it can at least solve the current urgent need.

Jess also mentioned just now that a certain boss in the Zaun black market can get a complete hextech crystal.

In this case, there are even alternative materials for making energy crystals, and the next thing to consider is the exoskeleton power armor.

But first, the energy crystal must be produced as soon as possible.

Why don't you go to Zaan...

Li Lin thought to himself.

Just going to Zaan, a city-state where only the Alchemy Baron maintains order, almost no laws, and the public security situation is extremely poor, the necessary self-defense measures can be taken.

He glanced at the crystal shard in Jess' instrument, "By the way, Jess, which area of ​​Zaun did you buy this crystal shard from?"

"Heixiang, I remember it should be called Bensuo Grocery Store? The structure of the bottom city is intricate, and I can't describe the specific location." Jess was a little surprised, "Why are you asking this?"

"Of course it's for you...I mean, our research!" Li Lin grabbed the crystal fragments, "Lend me to study this thing first."

"But this is all I have. What did you take away from me to study? Can't we study together?"

Jess wanted to reach out and grab Li Lin to get back the crystal shards, but he nimbly dodged by him who had predicted the action in advance.

"Aiya~~ It's all a family that will share yours and mine, and I will give you a whole piece when there is a result in the future."

Li Lin smiled at Jess, didn't dare to stay longer, and ran out in two steps in three steps.

Only Jess, who had a bewildered expression and hadn't reacted yet, stayed where he was.

"Wait! You bastard, my crystal shard..."

……

……

In the end, Jess, who was persuaded by Li Lin, still failed to get back his Hex crystal shards from him.

To go to Zaan, one must have the means of self-defense. Anyway, Li Lin feels that his small body, which has not yet grown up, is not enough to fight against the gangsters in Zaan even if there are ten more.

Therefore, he must resort to external tools.

For example, equipment that combines magic and technology such as the Hextech revolver, Hextech gunblade, rocket belt, and ice gun that have appeared in the game.

Due to the instability of Hextech crystals, none of these equipment has been invented in the current timeline.

After careful consideration, Li Lin decided to use crystal shards as the energy supply core to make a magic revolver with a relatively simple principle.

As a family of hextech craftsmen, the most important thing for Gilaman's family is blueprints, and naturally there are also guns and the like.

These days, apart from making the designs he brought, Li Lin spends his spare time using [data-based thinking] to learn a lot of mechanical knowledge.

Correspondingly, his [Basic Manufacturing] skill was also upgraded to [Proficient Manufacturing], and the speed of manufacturing machinery was increased by about half.

The manufacturing principle of the Hextech revolver is actually very simple. It only needs to transform it from the runner that fires kinetic energy bullets to use crystals as energy to fire energy bullets on the basis of ordinary revolvers.

But the problem lies in the technical level: how to transform a kinetic energy weapon into an energy weapon.

This is not a problem that can be solved by replacing only one runner, but also needs to be improved as a whole.

The tolerance of the pistol itself to energy, the stability of the crystal fragments, the overall safety after the finished product, etc. need to be considered comprehensively.

However, with the combination of [Skilled Manufacturing] and [Data-based Thinking] and the system's prompts, these are completely out of the scope of consideration.

Li Lin found all the production materials from the warehouse, and started working after everything was prepared.

During several hours of intermittent production, the mana will slowly recover after exhaustion, and continue production after recovery.

Finally, when the Piltover Zodiac vault rang 12 times, a hextech revolver with a caliber about the size of a thumb and a silver-white body was finally completed.

[Hex Technology Revolver (Inferior): A weapon that combines technology and magic elements, uses Hex Technology Crystals (fragments) as the energy core, and can fire energy bullets]

[Attribute: 5 Combat Strength]

【Ability Effect】

[Passive · Inferior core: The energy supply core can only provide three charges. 】

[Active Energy Bomb: After a short charge of 1 second, fire an energy bullet forward, causing damage to the target and generating a shock wave at the same time, impacting an area within 3 meters of the target, causing a short-term dizziness effect]

An energy bullet can actually produce a range of control. The effect of this pistol really exceeded Li Lin's expectations.

It is a pity that a crystal fragment can only be used three times, but it is enough.

He just used it for self-defense, not to kill.

Even if someone really robs, this gun has a deterrent purpose, and it doesn't necessarily shoot.

Li Lin suppressed his tiredness, like an old father looking at his child, caressing the pistol he made himself.

"The combat power of the system panel has been increased to 10, and I am finally not a scum of combat 5..."

He stood up unsteadily, picked up the completely cold black coffee that was brewed on the table last night and had not had time to drink it, and drank it in one gulp.

It filled the entire mouth in an instant, and the faint bitterness on it stimulated his nerves, dispelling his sleepless sleepiness and the groggy feeling of excessive consumption of mana.

"Tsk, this crap, why is it bitterer than the black coffee on earth."

Li Lin pinned the pistol to his trouser belt, then pulled down the hem of his jacket to cover it, and looked up and down in the mirror, and found nothing unusual.

"Well, I can ensure my own safety when I go to Zaan." Li Lin rubbed his chin, "The rest is about money..."

When Jess came to ask for this crystal shard yesterday, he said that it cost 50 silver wheels, worth half a gold sea.

The prices in Piltover are not cheap. One gold sea can be exchanged for 100 silver wheels or 10000 copper rings, which is only enough for an ordinary working-class citizen to live for about a month.

And the compass repair shop where Li Lin came to Gilamanen’s house paid even lower wages for the handyman. The daily salary was only a few dozen copper rings, and he couldn’t even afford the sweet cakes baked by roadside vendors. .

He actually thought that the grocery store owner should have seen that Jess hadn't been beaten by the society, and killed him as if he had been taken advantage of.

Because the hextech cube batteries that are available on the market and also powered by crystal shards are worth 5 silver wheels...

Li Lin returned to his room, changed the uniform of the Gilaman family, and put on more plain clothes.

Then he took out a money bag containing 50 silver wheels from the bedside drawer and put it in his old satchel.

Just from Li Lin's current attire, no one would have noticed that he carried so many huge sums of money in his satchel.

Anyway, Jess didn't buy a complete crystal, and he didn't have much hope, so he didn't bring Jin Hai.

I just want to talk to the owner of that house, or pay a certain deposit first, to see if I can get the complete crystal in advance.

Piltover and Zaun seemed to be peaceful, but in fact a lot of bad things happened.

This kind of thing can only be said that the sooner the better, lest some kind of moth will be messed up at the time, delaying the progress of making the exoskeleton power armor.

"That should be fine..."

It takes about half an hour to take a Hexpressurized transport plane down to Zaun Black Alley.

If he finds the "Benso Grocery Store" without getting lost, it shouldn't be a problem to return to Gilaman's house before sunset.

While Li Lin conceived a complete plan in his mind, he opened the door of his room.

However, a slim figure at the door blocked his way, "Li Lin? Why are you dressed like this?"
