Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

It is no exaggeration to say that the Hex Rune Interface allows Kalya to see a new future.

Although it is far away, it is also a very possible future.

To be honest, Kalya's magic industrialization is already very advanced for today's Runeterra, separating magic and magic control - this plan was based on the Shurima Empire's use of the power of ascension.

For most Shurimans, the power of ascension is the magic power of those without magical talent. The Shurima Empire's application of the power of ascension has proven that it is feasible to separate the control of the power of ascension and the power of ascension. , so Kalya came up with the idea of ​​​​magic industrialization, which not only innovates energy, but also further improves productivity.

However, there are only a few Ascended ones after all, and the power of Ascending, like the power of ascension used by the Shurima Empire, comes from the sun disk; but there are many people who naturally awaken their magic talents, and the industrialization of magic will The trend of separation of magic power and magic control will have a great impact on their status, making these people's competitiveness gradually weaker.

If this process is too fast, it can easily cause social unrest.

In addition, the industrialization of magic must be carried out together with the upgrading of rune magic energy. When this idea was proposed, the Shurima Empire had reached its limit in the application of the power of ascension. The Sun Disk could not build a second one, nor could it exploit it. to produce more energy, so this part of the plan is ultimately just a plan.

In contrast, the Hex Rune interface has realized the process of turning magic into "pure energy" to a certain extent, thereby transforming magic applications into Hex technology applications.

This means that people without magical talent can also harness magic in the form of Hextech applications.

Even though this process will bring a lot of losses, and the effects produced by the application of Hex technology are much worse than that of magic, this is still a feasible way to the future.

After understanding the various functions of the Hex Rune Interface in detail, Kalya finally realized that his thinking seemed to have fallen into a misunderstanding.

This misunderstanding is that Kalya's research on magic theory is too profound, so that he is subconsciously unwilling to give up or start a new one.

In Kalya's magic industrialization plan, as long as there is a stable and extensive source of magic power and a means of controlling magic power transformation, anyone with special training can use magic based on magic theory.

However, the difficulty is that it is actually difficult for people who have no magic talent and cannot naturally perceive magic to learn magic theory. For them, it is too abstract - in fact, even people with magic talent cannot learn magic theory. You will also feel like your head is big.

Except for a few weirdos who are beyond ordinary people's interest in this matter, most mages will have a headache when facing the thick magic theory.

If this is the case for a mage, how much more for an ordinary person?

Therefore, when in Zaun, all control experiments of rune magic, when involving people without magic talent, required Ino to observe and take care of them.

In contrast, although Hex Technology has a narrower application range and limited application effects, it has intuitive advantages and can be better directly accepted by people.

This is a better place to start.

In other words, Hex Technology is the "magic theory" that is more suitable for ordinary people. The magic theory mastered by Kalya is like a wordless bible for people without magic talent, and it must be translated into something like Hex Technology. Only if there is a heavenly book with words can it be accepted by people!

After figuring this out, Kalya finally became enlightened.

If you want to promote magic and make it more widely used in more fields, then the most important thing should be to transform the magic theory you have mastered into Hex technology!

Only in this way can magic completely lose its mystery, become universal, and be fully accepted and used by the general public!

Thinking about this, Kalya had a rare feeling of excitement, but after calming down, he had to admit that it seemed that he got excited a little early.

Hex Technology is indeed a magic application field that is very suitable for ordinary people to use, but as Jess said in the interview, the current application forms of Hex Technology are still very limited - this kind of technology was born out of machinery, hydraulics and The subject of explosions and its use of magical energy are still quite superficial. In the book Basic Magic Theory, not even one chapter is enough.

In other words, if a spellcaster can only use magic power to achieve the effects and efficiency of Hex Technology, then his level can be regarded as a magic apprentice at the top level.

He is also a very partial magic apprentice.

And if they want to make this transformation more universal, even without considering efficiency, Jess and Victor probably have a long way to go.

So, maybe they need a little help.

……………………

Jace didn't know if he needed help.

But what is confirmed is that he is currently in trouble.

The successful application of the Hex Rune Interface brought him huge prestige and economic benefits. Under Mel's management and the unanimous support of Piltover District and Zaun District, his joint laboratory with Victor was established. In terms of material conditions, it has reached the ultimate level of Wazuan.

This giant joint laboratory is located in the southeast of the Xingang District of Vazuan City. It covers an area of ​​more than 100 square meters and contains eight laboratories including a large explosion-proof laboratory, a large Hex transmission laboratory, and a large mechanical processing laboratory. Large laboratory.

In order to provide specialized experimental materials for the laboratory, the joint laboratory also has a small rune stone processing factory and a small Hex crystal processing factory, which are equipped with many living facilities and a dormitory building.

It is no exaggeration to say that the total cost of this large-scale joint laboratory has exceeded 10 million gold hex. This is because Zaun District provided low-cost construction teams and building materials, and Piltover District provided discounted experiments. instrument case.

In order to build this giant joint laboratory, Jess and Victor signed a transfer agreement, not only taking out the patent rights of the Hex rune interface, but also not retaining all the rights to the artificial Hex crystal technology.

No matter which one of these two patents is taken out, they are among the top ten most precious patents in Vazuan. It is precisely because of such precious patent rights that after Mel's mortgage operation, Jess can successfully obtain the patent from Vazuan. The bank loaned enough funds to build this giant joint laboratory.

After the completion of the laboratory, in order to devote himself wholeheartedly to research, Jess even gave up his parliamentary seat in Piltover District and almost completely disappeared from the public eye.

Only during the graduation season of the School of Science and Progress every year, Jess would accept an exclusive interview and place an advertisement to recruit experimental assistants.

It is no exaggeration to say that Jace has truly devoted all his energy to the subsequent development of Hex Technology.

As for Victor...

He and his wife moved into the campus almost as soon as the laboratory was completed, and they were not even interviewed.

However, fate sometimes likes to play some jokes.

Unlike the steady progress and ultimate success of the Hex Rune interface, the research on the Hex magic interface was very unsuccessful from the beginning.

When Jess and Victor confidently wanted to start research on the Hex Magic Interface along the lines of the Hex Rune Interface, and apply the control methods of Hex Technology to more magic fields, they discovered that Something very bad happened.

They couldn't figure out how magic worked - or rather, they couldn't understand how magic worked.

At the beginning, Jess and Victor did not regard this as too big a difficulty. Instead, they adopted the method of magic experiment and tried to analyze the principles of magic through magic items purchased at high prices.

Unfortunately, although this idea is good, the problem is that they have almost no means of observing magic. With the phenomenon unknowable and the data uncertain, the more Jace and Victor try to analyze the principles of magic, the more confused they become.

When studying the Hex rune interface, they could judge the experimental results through the observations of Hex energy, but now everything is reversed!

The idea of ​​using magic items to work backwards fails.

In desperation, Jace and Victor found Ike and tried to ask the Zaun mages to help with research.

Ekko readily agreed to Jace's request and quickly dispatched several highly qualified mages from the Zaun Mage Group to participate in Jace and Victor's experiments.

Then, Jace and Victor desperately discovered that every mage seemed to have different magic powers and spell-casting methods.

They even had a subtle feeling that Hex technology was not parallel to magic as they thought, but that "Hex technology belongs to some kind of separate magic field."

If so, it would be very disappointing.

In this case, Victor gave a different option.

"Perhaps, we should make a more bold attempt." Although Victor, who has completed the transformation of Hex's body, has stayed up for six consecutive nights, he still looks energetic. "Seek common ground while reserving differences, starting from the most direct burst of magic power. .”

"Carry out explosion research directly?" Without too many words, Jace understood what his old partner meant. "This is too risky, and the explosion of magic power is even more difficult to observe."

"If you can't observe it directly, then observe it indirectly." Victor seemed to have planned this for a long time. "Directly record the results of different explosions, and reproduce them in the explosion laboratory through the explosion of gunpowder or Hex crystal. "

"Using the principle of equivalence?" Jace thought thoughtfully, "As long as the same effect is achieved, it will be regarded as the same explosion?"

"That's right, using equivalent equivalents to conduct observations. Although there are errors in doing so, it can still be observed." Victor nodded, "The only problem is that in this case we need to work more on the experimental design, and we must also consider Cost issue…”

"The cost is not a problem." Jace waved his hand, "The joint laboratory has been built. It's just some explosive experiment consumables. It's not a big problem."

"That's good." Victor nodded and continued to explain his thoughts, "The principle of equivalence requires the establishment of a new order of magnitude mechanism. Before conducting explosion experiments, we may need to conduct echelon explosion experiments to determine the observed standard."

"This part of the experiment needs to be carried out with a Hex Crystal explosion." Jace narrowed his eyes, "Only the Hex Crystal explosion experiment can give clear enough results."

"That's right!" Victor continued to nod, "In addition, when conducting experiments using the consistency principle, we also need to maintain the consistency of the magic power. We will also need to ask Zaun's mages to help with observations in the future..."

"Can……"

"..."

"..."

Jace, who had found a new way of thinking, chatted with Victor until the sun set, and then it came to an end.

Victor was finally taken back to rest by Skye, and Jace left his office after briefly packing up his manuscripts.

Then, when he told Mel about his follow-up plan, Mel, who had always been very supportive of him, became embarrassed for the first time.

"Although I don't know much about the details of the experiment, as far as I know, using explosions to conduct consistency experiments will probably consume quite a lot of rune stones, right?"

"The quantity consumption will be more, but fortunately there is no need for extra processing, so we should be able to save a fortune in processing?" Jess hugged his wife optimistically, "Why, are there any difficulties in funding the laboratory? "

"There is no problem with the funding of the laboratory." Mel looked at Jess like he was looking at a child who has not grown up. "But if you listened to me carefully, you should remember that in order to maintain the operation of the laboratory, we The loan is disbursed on a monthly basis and uses compound interest to increase the total return.”

Jace blinked.

"In other words, this sudden increase in expenses in the short term may require additional input to make up for it."

"What do you think of the design of my hammer?" Jace blinked, "The design drawing should be worth some money, right?"

"Well, if it is used as a cultural relic." Mel said expressionlessly, "Actually, if you didn't say in the interview, 'This may be the last piece of research in your lifetime - not that you plan to retire after completing it, but that you I'm not sure if I can complete this research, I should be able to get you some investment."

"I think my description is fairly objective..."

"Well, very objective, but the problem is that everyone knows that you have always been full of confidence." Looking at Jace's innocent look, Mel's tone finally gradually became irritable, "You are no longer a child, Jace, you Now that you are Jer's father, you should be more steady and think more before expressing your opinions instead of saying everything when your head gets hot!"

"...Okay, okay." In this case, Jace, who knew he was in the wrong, could only raise his hands above his head, "Don't get excited, dear, it's just a problem with some experimental supplies. The Piltover Daily News has been I hope I can publish an autobiography, I just need to dictate it, the kind they write - "

"You've never told me before." Mel's eyes seemed more dangerous, "You didn't make any promises, right?"

"Of course not." Jess shook his head decisively, "Actually, if it weren't for the lack of money in the laboratory, I wouldn't be willing to leave writing my autobiography to others..."

Mel glared at him fiercely, and then finally couldn't help but rub the center of his brow.

"The Piltover Daily is pretty reliable." After a long time, Mel finally said, "So, maybe you can take Jer with you to the newspaper office. Sometimes he also wants to listen to his father tell stories. "

Jace opened his mouth, almost subconsciously wanting to say, "Jer is too young to understand," but looking at Mel's sharp eyes, he could only nod seriously in the end.

"Also, over in Zaun, Mr. Ekko found me yesterday." Mel continued, "You should probably talk to him before going to the Piltover Daily."

Kalya's Little Classroom·Magic and Control:

In essence, Hex Technology is a means of controlling special energy - compared to magic, this control method is more direct and intuitive.
