The next morning, the morning light had yet to shine on the earth, and the sun had just emerged from the sea.
The well-lit workshop was filled with cables and pipes. Two bases that were as tall as a person were located at both ends of the laboratory. Duke's trench coat was hanging on the blackboard, and he rolled up his sleeves to his elbows. He held a wrench in his hand and adjusted a rune base.
"I think the position of this rune needs to be adjusted!”
Duke straightened his back and instructed Jess and Victor, who were on the other side of the rune base,""A specific rune combination can produce different effects. The effect of the rune group we have chosen now is already the best after my verification.”
"But I think we still need to adjust.”
"If you change a position, you have to change both sides at the same time!”
Jess wiped the sweat off his forehead and straightened his back. After working for a day and a night, he felt that his body was about to collapse.
After Duke had proposed his theory yesterday morning, they had not rested at all. They had built the rune base as quickly as possible, and it had taken them a few hours to assemble it.
Victor and Jess were in charge of one, while Duke was in charge of the other.
Victor was so tired that his body was shaking. He felt like he couldn't hold on any longer.
On the other hand, Duke was in high spirits and didn't look tired at all.
Was this the talent of a mage?
Envy!
Jess, who was crying tears of envy in his heart, didn't show it on the surface. He walked from his side to Duke's rune base.
Duke pointed at the rotating rune group and said,""You're right. If one side is moved, the other side needs to be changed.”
"But we have to try our best to get it done in one go. We can't waste too much time on repeated experiments!”
"But there are too few cases of success on the first try. The success rate of the entire academy's students is only three percent!”
"That's because they're not me!" Duke put the wrench into the tool bag at his waist and looked at the runic base in front of him."I've always done it in one go. I'll succeed if I don't do it more than three times!”
"Alright, I'll make the adjustments. You two can rest for a while!”
Duke asked Victor and Jayce to rest for a while. Unlike him, they were still ordinary people. Duke, who had been strengthened by the super soldier serum, could go for three days without eating or sleeping.
But these two couldn't. Jess could barely hold on for three days and three nights without rest, but if Victor dared to go without rest for three days and three nights, Duke might be prepared to mourn for him.
"Rest?" Victor, who had two big dark circles under his eyes, supported himself with his walking stick."I haven't finished yet, how can I rest?”
"You need to rest, Victor. Your body is not good!”
Duke picked up Victor with one hand and placed him on a chair. Jess looked at Victor, who was picked up by Duke with one hand, and then looked at his own arm. He fell into deep thought.
Perhaps he had to go to the gym!
"Alright then."
Victor watched as Duke took his place and sat on the chair obediently. He was going to focus on Duke's work, but he didn't expect that the moment he touched the chair, sleepiness came flooding in.
Victor fell asleep. Duke glanced at Victor and waved at Jess.
After Jess walked over, Duke said to Jess,""Find some time and bring Victor for a checkup!”
"You know his personality. He won't be persuaded.”Jess smiled bitterly. Duke stopped and said to Jess seriously,"Victor and I were both born in Zuan. We know better than anyone how harsh the environment there is.”
"The smog is everywhere, and the underground sewers are filled with sewage. His body is already weak, but he still insists on working so hard. If he really collapses one day, do you think you can bear the pain of losing a friend?”
"I…"
Jess opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. He looked at Victor who was sleeping soundly and recalled the conversation between the two of them in his ruined laboratory.
"The more brilliant a person is, the easier it is for them to burn out their life force!”
"It's not a bad thing to fight for your ideals, but if you don't even want your life for your ideals, you're a fool!”
Duke readjusted the rune group so that the two sides were in sync.
"That's good!"
"What about you?"
Jess looked at Duke, who was putting the tools back into his tool bag, and couldn't help but say,""Then what do you think?"
"You're more talented than the two of us, and you have stronger abilities. Your creations are sought after by the entire Pi City. Even if it's a mission from the gods, you'll scoff at it and create your own artificial mechanical life!”
"Me?"
Duke looked indifferent as he patted Jayce's shoulder and said,"Some people are different from ordinary people from the beginning, Jess!”
"For example, you and Victor and the others, for example, me and you!”
"As for what I think?"
Duke looked at Pride, who was waiting at the door, with a hint of warmth in his eyes.
"The world is so big, I want to see it!”
" See the Immortal Fortress of Noxus, the Anti-Magic Stone Forest of Demacia, the Permafrost Earth of Frerzord, see the Nature Spirits of the newborn soil, climb Giant God Peak, feel the power of the Star Spirits, cross Shurima, and find the secrets buried under the yellow sand!”
"This is my pursuit. I want to see the world!”
Duke sat on the work table and spread his hands."Isn't it too aggrieved to stay in one place for the rest of my life?”
Noticing Jess's expression, Duke looked at the two bases on both sides." Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Go get some food. After you're done, take a break and we'll start the first experiment.”
"Alright, I'll go prepare."
Jess went to prepare the food. Duke looked at the rune base and then at Victor, who was sleeping soundly. He took the opportunity to rest.
After a few hours, he woke Victor up. The three of them had lunch together and began the first experiment.
"Prepare to activate the energy!"
Duke put on Edith's sunglasses and stood at the door, looking at the two rune bases. He wanted to observe and record the experiment process. Jess and Victor, who were wearing goggles, looked at Duke, who was wearing sunglasses. They looked at each other and didn't say anything.
Considering the bright light, they all put on goggles, and Duke said that his sunglasses were better than goggles.
This was simply ridiculous!
Jess slowly turned the button, and the Hex Gem floated into the air. It kept spinning and releasing energy, and the energy it emitted pushed the rune group to spin.，
Not long after, the two rune bases were activated, and dazzling blue light burst out. Duke's Edith sunglasses continued to observe, showing the direction of the energy to Duke's eyes.
"The energy is not enough to reach the resonance level.”
Duke said in a deep voice, telling Jess and the others to increase the output of energy. Jess did not hesitate to continue increasing the output of energy. Two bright lights extended from the rune base and approached each other.
When the two energy rays came into contact with each other, an even more terrifying light suddenly burst out. The light soared into the sky, piercing through the ceiling of the experimental workshop and soaring into the clouds.
"Cut off the energy channel, immediately!”
Victor immediately pressed the stop button, and the energy was cut off instantly. The Hexagon Gem on the rune base fell onto the pedestal.
The residual energy turned into lightning and flashed in the air. The documents on the second floor floated in the workshop.
The first experiment failed!
"It failed. The two of them did resonate, but the result was different from what we expected.”Victor took off his goggles. Jess was deep in thought. Duke pushed his sunglasses up." I know what to do. Bring me two crystals of the same size!”
"What are you doing?"
Jess looked at Duke, who did not elaborate." Just go get it!”
"Alright then!"
Jess and Victor went to look for the crystal. When the crystal was brought over, Duke turned on Edith's video playback function and projected the experiment process on the wall.
Duke pointed at the intersecting energies in the projection and said,""We succeeded in resonating the energy of the gemstones, but we took the wrong path. We should have made the resonance energy of the two gemstones stagger each other to open the energy path!”
Jess and Victor looked at Duke's sunglasses, which could project a projection, and then at the goggles in their hands. They directly stuffed the goggles into their pockets.
How many good things did Duke have?!!
Duke began to polish the crystal and cut it into the same geometric shape.
"Now, I'm going to try something new. I'm going to create a crystal with a regular geometric shape to find the resonance frequency of Hexagon's energy.”
Duke, who had installed the crystal on the rune base, did not explain further. Instead, he began his experiment again.
This time, the Hex energy passed through the cut crystal, and the energy was dispersed. The two rays of light intersected with each other and went straight to the other end of the crystal.
At the same time, the crystals reflected the images on the other side.
"Is this a success?"
Victor looked at the crystal in front of him. He was standing in front of the crystal, but the wall behind him was on the other side of the crystal. When Duke saw this scene, he remembered the research project of his original body. He hurried to the other side and looked at the crystal in front of him.
At the same time, Duke's figure appeared on Victor's crystal.
"What's going on?"
"The crystal outside the Hex Gem actually reflected the two of you!”
Jess was a little surprised, but Duke smacked his lips."I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear?”
"Listen to the bad ones first!"
"We have failed again!"
"Okay?"
"We unintentionally created the Hexagon communication device that can sync sounds and images, and can communicate in real time!”
