บท 199: CHAPTER 199 - Project Genesis · Infinite II
Having finished selecting skills, Li Lin, who had no trouble sleeping, was even more energetic, with no hint of drowsiness.
After pondering for a moment, he changed into his work clothes and hurried to his workshop, taking out the Primordial Crystal from the morning light, then returned to his studio.
Last time, using the "Data Mind" to comprehend the Hextech crystal shards had resulted in obtaining the blueprint for Hextech energy crystals. This time, by directly using the Primordial Crystal, perhaps he could extract the blueprint for the Hextech core.
In the inventor skill tree, one needed to reach level 50 in Rune Science Theory to learn about the Hextech core.
Li Lin didn't have the patience to wait until level 50. In that case, it was better to try to improve the miniaturized nuclear fusion reactor as much as possible and see if it could be compressed to the size of a palm.
Without further ado, he fixed the Primordial Crystal on a metal support frame and began to analyze its composition through the "Data Mind."
This time, unlike the last, "Data Mind" no longer consumed mana, but the core of the research changed from ordinary crystal shards to the Primordial Crystal.
However, the progress bar moved more slowly compared to last time, not advancing 1% even after half a day.
But with each slight advancement of the progress bar, Li Lin's mind would gain a small, disjointed fragment of memory related to the Brackern magic of the Crystal race.
The clock's hands turned round and round, and there was nothing in the room except for Li Lin's breathing, no other noise.
As the sun and moon alternated in the night sky, the first light of dawn dispelled the darkness from the distant east.
Having sat at the workbench all night, Li Lin blinked his bloodshot eyes and clenched his fists, his expression somewhat grim.
He had reached 99.9% on the progress bar and it had been stuck for at least 10 minutes, finally reaching 100%.
"I made it! Finally!"
As a series of messages flashed through his mind's system panel, Li Lin excitedly slapped the table and stood up abruptly.
"Congratulations! You have comprehended the mystery of the Primordial Hex crystal."
"Rewards: Ancient Rune Mark Secret, Rune Magic Basics, Crystal Reinforcement Spire Blueprint, Crystal Armor Plating Blueprint, Hex Core Blueprint."
Li Lin's brain buzzed and plunged into chaos, with all sorts of complex and profound knowledge crashing around in his mind.
His body trembled uncontrollably, his feet stumbled, and his hands bulged with veins as he leaned heavily on the workbench.
The tearing pain in his brain made it almost unbearable.
After five or six minutes, Li Lin, whose body was soaked in cold sweat, slowly regained his senses, taking a deep breath.
"This is... unbelievable!" His expression was blank, almost speechless.
This time, comprehending the Primordial Crystal had put a huge strain on Li Lin's body.
He hadn't expected the Primordial Crystal to contain so much knowledge. He almost thought he was going to die because of it.
"It seems that personal enhancement is also necessary in the enhancement path..."
Li Lin wiped away the cold sweat from his face and furrowed his brow.
If he had directly advanced his profession to level 15, it was very likely that all three major systems would have developed simultaneously without leaving any behind.
But he had taken too big a step, or perhaps he had delayed advancing his profession for too long, resulting in only developing two major systems now and completely ignoring personal enhancement, hence the current situation.
"Flesh is weak... even if I don't ascend mechanically, I still need to ascend genetically and strengthen my body."
Li Lin shook his head. Now he had so many equipment blueprints that he hadn't even personally manufactured yet.
In the next few days, he planned to produce all these things. At least he could gain another twenty or so skill points. By then, he would have to develop the genetic enhancement path first.
After briefly considering the plan for the next few days, Li Lin's thoughts returned to the system panel.
The harvest from comprehending the Primordial Crystal this time far exceeded his expectations.
He had thought that having a blueprint for the Hextech core would be enough, but unexpectedly, it had also allowed him to master two new blueprints related to the magic of the Brackern race and the secrets of runes.
Now Li Lin could recognize the functions of those rune marks, perform some basic rune magic, and even enchant rune marks was no big deal.
As a techmaturgical Ionian mechanic, it was quite normal for me to know a bit of magic, right?
As for the Hexcore, there was no need to say more. Its energy provided was tens of times more than that of an energy crystal, let alone compared to ordinary Hextech crystals. It was completely on a different level.
Even if it were placed in the current rare-quality Project Genesis · Infinity power armor and all weapon systems were continuously used, its energy was still more than that restored.
Not only that, but if his body were transformed into a mechanical body, with the Hextech core as the energy core, it could also provide eternal life!
It's just that genetic modification also had the effect of extending life, which Li Lin didn't care about at all.
And the other two crystal reinforcement spire and crystal armor plating blueprints also require Primordial Crystal to make.
The crystal reinforcement spire is a portable, movable mechanical device that can be fixed in place to enhance the Hextech core within a 500-meter radius, comprehensively enhancing all aspects.
The crystal armor plating utilizes the magical power of the Primordial Crystal to enhance and upgrade certain materials, making them harder. Not only can it improve physical defense, but it can also greatly enhance magical resistance.
Li Lin almost shouted with excitement.
With his skills "Mechanic Soul" and "Mechanical Enhancement," the probability of upgrading from rare to artifact quality had long exceeded 50%.
If the artifact-quality Project Genesis · Infinity power armor was paired with the Hexcore, plus the amplification of crystal armor plating and crystal reinforcement spire.
Not to mention single-handedly fighting the Queen of the Void Rek'Sai, at least he could handle the Abyssal Maw Kog'Maw on his own.
Li Lin tucked the Primordial Crystal on the support frame into his arms, casually poured himself a cup of cold tea, and glanced at the clock.
It was only six o'clock, and work didn't start until eight in Piltover.
The materials needed for the blueprints were all available in the workshop, and some required mana consumption through the upgrade of "Mechanical Enhancement."
The other two Primordial Crystals could be purchased directly from the Essence Store.
With his current speed of manufacturing machinery, he had plenty of time to upgrade the power armor before Caitlyn and Kai'Sa woke up.
Without much hesitation, Li Lin rushed out of the room and hurried to the workshop in the side villa.
At this time, the steward and servants in Kiramman's house were already busy.
Seeing Li Lin with dark circles under his eyes and a pale complexion, they could tell at a glance that he had spent another sleepless night in the studio.
But no one was surprised. Li Lin's hard work and dedication were well known in the Kiramman family.
Including the steward, many of the servants admired this future "young master."
After greeting the servants on the way, Li Lin entered the workshop and locked all the doors, putting on goggles and protective gloves, and busily manipulating the mechanical arms on the workbench.
In less than 20 minutes, he first made a round mechanical sphere emitting a dazzling blue light—the Hextech core.
Then, he spent 1850 blue essences to buy two more condensed Primordial Crystals from the Essence Store.
After another forty minutes, Li Lin successively made a mechanical device that shrunk into a triangular gyroscope shape, and another large pile of miscellaneous mechanical materials that had not been pieced together.
The crystal reinforcement spire and crystal armor plating were completed!
Creating an artifact for the first time would add 5 skill points.
Ignoring the prompt of 15 skill points and a level increase of 3 in his mind, Li Lin threw all the materials into a small cart and pushed it to the innermost room he specially used to design power armor.
He walked to the wall, manipulated the mechanical arms to take out three energy crystals from inside, and made modifications on the basis of the original armor.
The pitch-black crystal armor plating almost replaced all the original protective materials of the power armor.
However, the appearance of the Infinite armor remained basically unchanged, but its interior underwent earth-shattering changes.
Li Lin picked up the shining Hexcore with his bare hands and slowly loaded it into the chest cavity groove of the power armor that opened up.
As the mechanical parts were reassembled and combined, the sturdy crystal armor plating firmly protected the Hextech core on the inside, without leaking any energy.
Li Lin took off his goggles and gloves, a glint of excitement flashing in his eyes.
"The artifact-quality Project Genesis · Infinite power armor is finally completed..."
He paused for a moment, another thought flashing through his mind, and a smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth. "No, to be precise, it should be called Project Genesis · Infinite II."
