Chapitre 37: -37- I really can't
"If you want to do this, Linwin, it will be quite troublesome," in the laboratory, Zevi and Linwin began a real preliminary discussion, and Heimerdinger joined in as well.
For Heimerdinger, while his role as a councilor was essential, inventions and the unknown were even more significant!
Moreover, to put it bluntly, Heimerdinger was like a mascot in the council, and no one expected him to make a substantial political contribution to Piltover.
Therefore, after Zevi agreed to help Linwin, Heimerdinger didn't leave. He joined the two of them, providing guidance and brainstorming.
"The instability of Hextech crystals has been improved by Jayce and Viktor, resulting in relatively safe stability. However, attempting to inscribe runes on them using a sonic blade, rather than employing Jayce's method of writing runes inside, is a difficult task with significant risks."
"But, Zevi, what I want is not one-on-one information transmission. I want something that can broadcast to multiple recipients. So, that's why I initially mentioned creating Hextech gemstones capable of distinguishing various sounds. Or, to be more precise, what I want is a gemstone that can connect to different channels just by manipulating a button," Linwin explained.
"Wait a minute! If I understand your idea correctly, Linwin, you want to create something that can facilitate not only remote communication between two people but also communication with different individuals?" Heimerdinger slammed his hand on the table, excitedly asking, "Is it what I think it is?"
"Yes, Professor, but please calm down for a moment," Linwin responded.
Heimerdinger exclaimed, "How can I calm down? Oh, if this can be achieved, the distance between people will become even closer! You and Jayce are indeed close friends. He's planning to build portals to make it faster for people worldwide to reach Piltover, and what you want to create is a way for the voice of Piltover to reach the ears of the entire world!"
"You two are truly close friends!"
Linwin: "..."
Believe it or not, Professor, Jayce almost got punched by me several times.
Does that still count as being close friends?
"In that case, we first need to achieve one thing, which is storing sound in Hextech gemstones. Then we can work on enabling sound exchange between two gemstones. Now, thinking of anything else is not useful; we need to take it one step at a time," Linwin explained.
Zevi pondered for a moment.
"It can definitely be done," Linwin stated with confidence.
Given the potential of Hextech gemstones, Linwin believed that creating a phone using them was simply a matter of time. After all, this substance, in Jayce's hands, would one day lead to the creation of Hextech gates and, in Ekko's hands, the Z-Drive, a device capable of controlling localized time.
The term "magic" inherently represented the unbelievable.
As long as magic was involved, there was nothing simple. Therefore, Linwin was confident that Hextech gemstones could be used to create Hextech phones.
And if Linwin and Zevi truly succeeded in making Hextech phones, what would it mean? It meant money!
Endless wealth!
Not to mention that with a phone, Linwin could communicate with Vi and Powder whenever he wanted without any issues. After all, he was worried about not seeing Vi and Powder for a long time.
Even in the depths of the Undercity, even with the protection of Vander, Zaun is Zaun, and safety is a rarity there. So if Linwin could hear Powder's voice every day... well, he's just worried about the little ones' safety, that's all!
In any case, as the conversation continued, Linwin spoke abstractly while Zevi listened. Zevi was truly a genius; she managed to understand Linwin's abstract ideas perfectly and even created preliminary drafts.
Zevi was eager to see what would happen when the "phone" that Linwin described was actually created.
"Is your sonic blade custom-made?" During this time, Zevi used her sonic blade to cut pieces of metal and find materials with the appropriate hardness.
After all, a Hextech phone should be convenient to carry, so they needed to think about the casing. They couldn't just use a round stone.
So when Linwin described a casing for the Hextech gemstone, Zevi was already thinking about designing a casing mold.
"Is this what you mean?" Watching Linwin eyeing her sonic blade, Zevi squinted and casually replied, "A custom-made multi-frequency sonic blade? Well, you could say that."
"Is this blade very expensive?" Linwin inquired.
Zevi didn't directly answer but looked at Linwin, smirking, "Well, I'm from the Reta family, Linwin."
Heimerdinger clapped Linwin's arm and explained, "The multi-frequency sonic blade is part of the Reta family's history, kid."
"Zevi is the creator of the multi-frequency sonic blade, the world's first one. By the way, ,child how old were you when you invented this blade?" Black-Mark rubbed his hands and looked at Zevi.
Zevi continued to cut metal and answered nonchalantly, "Five years old, Professor."
Linwin: "?"
Linwin: "??"
Linwin: "???"
Linwin: "Wait, am I hearing this right? How old?"
"Five years old, I was trying to cut sandwiches at the time," Zevi recalled her past and casually continued, "Those metal utensils were so difficult to use. I had to cut with force every time, and it still didn't come out neatly. So, I invented this blade."
Zevi raised her hand and shook her pretty little knife.
And what about Linwin? He was questioning his life choices. He thought nine-year-old Ekko was a prodigy, but this person was even more exceptional!
Linwin: "."
Comparing Zevi to Jayce and Viktor? What on earth were Jayce and Viktor doing at the age of five?
Victor at the age of five was probably playing with boats, right?
And Heimerdinger, laughing, said, "That's why I said she's a genius, Linwin. When Jayce was five, he was dreaming of becoming a big hero."
See, the professor provided the answer!
At five years old, Victor and Jayce were still playing, while the person in front of him invented the world's first multi-frequency sonic blade. And as soon as this blade appeared, it immediately became a great weapon for the Piltover Enforcers.
"Don't give me that exaggerated look. Is this really a difficult thing?" Zevi nonchalantly remarked.
"It's too easy."
Metal pieces were neatly cut and placed on the table, and Zevi said, unconcerned, as she met Linwin's gaze.
She didn't take it seriously at all. After all, her initial purpose in inventing the blade was simply to make it easier for herself to cut sandwiches.
"If you want, you can do it too. If you can't even handle something as simple as that, are you still a human? Okay, Linwin, tell me more about your idea."
Zevi spoke softly.
Haha, Linwin suddenly understood why the professor found Zevi's personality difficult to deal with. "If you want, you can do it too? Can I really do that? I'm sorry, but I really can't!"
