Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 95 Time Crimper? !

"So, what the hell did you poke around today?"

On the way to Ike's house, Li Lin asked them what happened today.

"I, we really don't!" Ike raised his voice, his face a little anxious.

Children are children, and they always feel that their clumsy lies can be hidden from the eyes of adults.

Li Lin could see right away that what Ike said was not the truth.

Seeing him trying to hide his flustered expression, Li Lin couldn't help laughing.

"Don't worry, if I wanted to hold you accountable, I wouldn't have helped you just now... I just want to know how you got into that state today."

Ike lowered his face, his expression quite tangled.

When they passed through two small alleys in silence, Ike couldn't help but said:

"Then...Brother Li Lin, can you promise me not to tell Ben Suo and Fandre about this?"

Li Lin raised his eyebrows, "Listen to you...the matter is quite serious?"

"No, actually we went to the gutter waste area to find treasures today." Ike scratched his messy white hair, his face a little embarrassed.

"Taobao" is a euphemistic term among the children of Zaan. To put it bluntly, it means picking up trash.

All of Piltover's waste is dumped into the Zaun trenches.

There are many items that are garbage in the eyes of the people in the upper city, but in the eyes of the people in the bottom city, they still have value for use.

Therefore, not only the waste scavengers in the trenches, many children in Zaun will choose to rummage in the waste area of ​​the trenches to find valuable things in order to subsidize their families, and sell them to shops like Benso that specialize in buying sundries.

This is what Ike and the others are doing today.

"We picked up an abandoned Hextech flashbang in the trench this afternoon..."

"Wait! You said flashbang?"

Everyone in Li Lin was shocked.

Is Piltover Law Enforcement so casual?

Abandoned military weapons are thrown directly into the gutter garbage dump?

"Do you often pick up this kind of military waste?" He hurriedly asked.

"No, this kind of thing depends on luck." Ike shook his head. "If you are lucky, you can find one in a month or two, but you have to rush before the scavengers find them."

One or two months have been missing, and it seems that there are a lot of problems with the law enforcement department in Piltover...

We'll have to discuss this with Mrs. Karina sometime, safety issues like this are not to be taken lightly.

"And then? Did you detonate that flash bomb?"

"The flashbang was no longer usable, so I rebuilt it with scrap parts."

After saying that, Ike took out a silver-white mechanical device in the shape of a flat cylinder from the worn-out small satchel he carried.

Said it was a flash bomb, but Li Lin didn't recognize it at all.

It has been transformed by Ike beyond recognition, and the outer layer is filled with various precision pinions.

If it weren't for the various colors of the parts, most of which were rusted, it would have been some sort of sophisticated hextech contraption.

Moreover, Ike is only ten years old now, and he can do this by relying only on what he learned from the mechanical book.

If the mechanical theory is taught systematically, the "Z-Drive" should be made earlier than in the background story.

"Good boy, I really have you." Li Lin patted Ike's shoulder with a smile, "Then you failed."

"Uh..." Ike smiled awkwardly, and quickly explained: "But I think my idea is very groundbreaking!"

Li Lin was curious about what he said, "Oh? Are you planning to add any special functions to it?"

Ike is a genius no less than Jess and Victor, and Li Lin will naturally not ignore his ideas.

"My design is to let it emit a dazzling flash when it explodes, and it can absorb all the moving things around it to the center..."

"But." Li Lin said the turning point for Ike.

Ike paused, and said with a dejected voice: "An accident happened. Not only did it fail to achieve its original effect, it almost killed all of us..."

Li Lin put his right hand lightly on his shoulder and comforted him:

"Ike, science advances through trial and error. No matter what invention it is, it is quite normal to screw out a few screwdrivers and knock out a few hammers... I mean, do you understand?"

Ike looked up at Li Lin's "T"-shaped mask with blue light shining, and nodded ignorantly.

It seems that I understand, but it seems that I don't understand...

Seeing his bewildered look, Li Lin couldn't help sighing silently.

It seems a bit premature to tell a ten-year-old child the truth.

"Tell me about the specific problem, maybe I can help you."

Ike's eyes lit up, "Really?"

"It's just a possibility." Li Lin re-emphasized it, and didn't say too much.

While speaking, he activated the [Data Thinking] skill to check the properties of this modified flash bomb.

[Time curler (prototype): It has not been affected by the time power of the "Z-type drive", and the unfinished time curler has a great potential safety hazard. 】

Li Lin: "??!"

I boil it, don't I? !
Ike actually made the Q skill in the game at such a young age?
Li Lin is quite clear about Ike's background story, knowing that he invented the returnable device and the time field device that imprisoned the enemy himself.

But that was after he picked up the original crystal shards and made the "Z-Drive".

In terms of background age, at least he had to wait until he was fifteen or sixteen years old.

Did I actually have such a big influence on him...

Li Lin was stunned for a long time.

He didn't react until Ike called out to him after he finished talking about the flashbang.

"Excuse me, can you repeat that?"

Ike nodded and repeated it without showing the slightest impatience.

After all, the effect of this flash bomb is actually similar to the one in the game. It is thrown out and then returned by itself after a certain distance.

But that's the problem with it.

Since there is no influence of "time power", the bomb will not unfold a stagnant magic disc at the end and return to Ike's original shape.

On the contrary, when Ike started and threw it at that time, it accelerated back to the direction of the five children after reaching a certain distance, and made a rapid "tick", about to explode.

Fortunately, the flashbang modified by Ike only produced harsh noises and did not explode.

In addition, Wei and Craig reacted in a timely manner, holding Baobo, Melo and Ike respectively, throwing themselves to the side and dodging.

Otherwise, with its original power, even if the eyes of these children were not blinded by the flash, they would have to wait at least a month for their vision to fully return to normal.

After all, the law enforcement officials in Piltover don't have so many restrictions on dealing with gangsters. Many weapons are made according to the maximum power effect.

Li Lin took this device named "Flash Bomb of Imprisonment" by Ike, and studied it back and forth for a long time.

Although there is no "Z-drive" that can't invent a time warper, at least Ike's original idea is feasible.

It's just how to make it explode to generate enough kinetic energy to pull things that can move within the range...

Li Lin felt that it would be enough to just add a piece of energy crystal fragments inside and modify it a little bit.

"Brother Li Lin, have you found its problem?" Ike couldn't help asking.

"Of course, and not a lot."

Li Lin explained all the problems with the imprisoned flashbang transformed by Ike, and then told him how to improve it in the future.

"So that's how it is!" Ike's face was full of joy, "Brother Li Lin, you are simply amazing!"

"This is your idea." Li Lin smiled slightly and rubbed his head, "Even if I don't tell you about the problem with this flash bomb, you will successfully modify it later."

Ike scratched the back of his head, "Where..."

Almost all children have some degree of vanity, eager to be praised by adults.

Being praised by Li Lin, he lowered his head and smiled embarrassedly.

"At first, I was thinking about how to introduce you to Madam Karina... Now, this invention is enough to make her value you."

Li Lin returned the prison flashbang to Ike, "When I get to your house, you can draw its design, and then I will ask Mrs. Karina to apply for a patent for you."

"patent?"

Ike had heard his parents say the word before, but as a child he didn't know what "patent" meant.

"To put it simply, your invention will be mass-produced, and you just have to sit at home and wait for the payment..."

Li Lin paused for a moment, then said with a chuckle, "It's enough money for you and your parents to live comfortably for a lifetime."
