Although he didn’t know why Ekko took the initiative to invite him, in Jace’s opinion, it was probably related to a certain authorization. The alchemy industry style of Zaun District was different from that of Hex Technology, but there was a lot of communication.
In this case, Vazuan sometimes requires some very special, separate technical authorizations.
Ike has always been the one responsible for communicating with Jace, so when faced with Ike's invitation, Jace didn't think much about it.
However, what surprised him was that this time, Ike did not come for technical licensing.
When he met Ike, there was actually a third person at the scene!
"Is there anyone in Zaun who is willing to sponsor my joint laboratory?" After shaking hands with Ike, Jace's eyes fell on the masked stranger, "If that's the case, then you
It helped me a lot.”
"If it's sponsorship, then... maybe?" Ike touched Jace's shoulders skillfully, and then gave up his position very proactively, "This is Mr. Kalya, he is a master of magic theory.
, If I come here this time, I am mainly willing to provide some theoretical help on magic."
Jess blinked, not understanding what Ike meant.
"Miss Zeli has done a good job in magic experiments." He lowered his voice, "We don't need to change a new experimental assistant..."
"No, not the experimental assistant." Just when Jace was confused, Kalya took the initiative to say, "I read the interview with you by Piltover Daily and briefly studied the Hex Rune interface, so I know very well.
What bottlenecks have you encountered in your current research?"
Jace's expression was a little subtle. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the brazen Kalja with some hesitation.
"If I'm not wrong, if I want to develop the Hex magic interface you mentioned in the interview, the biggest problem at present should be the unobservability of magic power." Kalya continued, "Haixian
The Hex Rune interface is equipped with many visual plug-ins for observing the Hex energy transformed by the power of the runes, but these plug-ins are all post-installed."
"..."
Jace said nothing, but his face showed a little more approval.
"And in the front position of the interface, even the simplest steady-state observation is not available." Kalya continued in a tone that seemed to have seen through everything, "Considering that you and Victor are both top Hex scientists,
You should not make such a low-level technological mistake, so the only possibility to explain this is that you actually do not have effective observation methods for magic and magic."
"Well said, Mr. Kalya." Jess's attitude changed from cold to friendly. "With keen observation and clear judgment, you have the potential to become a scientific researcher - so, can you tell me more about it?"
Tell us about the observation of magic, maybe we can go have a cup of coffee together?"
"Let's go." Kalya's mask suddenly showed a smiling face, making Jace's eyes widen, "But I prefer drinking tea to coffee."
……………………
In Vazuan's cafe, Kalya had a not in-depth but enlightening exchange with Jace about magic expression methods and based on the principles of magic control.
Before the spell casting is completed, the magic power is difficult to directly observe. However, if the principle of magic control is applied and the method of magic power diversion is adopted to turn the magic into multiple castings, then the complete magic flow can be divided into separate parts for early casting.
Then use magic that is easy to observe to measure it, so as to achieve the result of judging the magic power.
This method of diversion to solve problems is very consistent with the conventional methods of Hex Technology. However, among the mages that Jace knows, no one can skillfully master the general diversion magic circuit, and there is no good way to cast spells in advance.
method, so it cannot be applied.
Kalya's proactive help has made up for Jace and Victor's gaps in this field.
"Mr. Karya, I sincerely invite you to join the joint laboratory." After Karya gave the system's magic control solution, Jess took the initiative to invite, "As a reward, I will
Willing to give 20% of the follow-up patent rights..."
This is a very sincere number - although it is only 20%, this is a pure technology stock without any actual investment provided by Karya.
Considering the existing investment in the giant joint laboratory, this number is already very sincere.
However, facing Jace's active invitation, Kalya just smiled and shook his head.
"I don't have much interest in money." He leaned back slightly and leaned on the chair. "Compared with that, I would rather talk more about magic with you and Victor.
Theoretical Hextechnical Topics."
"The theory of magic... Hex technology?" This long list of proper nouns made Jess a little confused, "You mean, use the theory of Hex technology to analyze magic?"
"Almost." Kalya corrected, "But it's not an analysis, it's a popularization."
Popularized?
Jess subconsciously wanted to deny this possibility - because the Hex technology theory itself was not popular at all.
"You must think that Hex technology theory has nothing to do with popular culture, right?" Kalya spoke again as if he had seen through his mind, "But in fact, believe me, compared to the complicated magic control theory, Hex technology
The theory is already very popular.”
Jace's expression was subtle, because he didn't understand magic at all.
"Take a look at this." Kalya stretched out his hand, and a large book like a dictionary appeared in his palm, "This is the most streamlined version of the basic theory of magic."
With that said, Kalya threw the book to Jace who was in a hurry.
After taking the book, Jess couldn't wait to start reading from the title page.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Then, he was stunned by the content.
In terms of the way it is written, this should be a basic textbook. At the beginning of each chapter and each unit, it starts with a very simple magic that even Jace seems to think is simple.
However, with clear explanations and examples, at the end of each chapter and each unit, the final conclusion is often a magic principle that is "complex to understand in a literal sense".
Jace does not have the ability to verify the authenticity of these magical principles, but at least judging from the derivation process, the reliability of these principles is even greater than most of the theorems commonly used in Hex Technology today.
It is no exaggeration to say that if the contents are true, then compared with this "Basic Theory of Magic", the textbooks of Piltover Academy of Technology and Progress are pure garbage.
Well... we can even say more directly that this book itself represents the profound foundation of magical civilization.
After simply flipping through three chapters, Jess already fully understood what Kalya meant when he said, "The theory of Hex technology has become very popular."
In this "Basic Theory of Magic", in order to express it rigorously, almost every link of every theory has been verified by magic experiments. To understand these theories, readers may need to be proficient in magic experiments.
Moreover, like Hex technology experiments, magic experiments also have similar experimental principles - control, equivalence, repeatability, independent variables... These common methods of Hex technology also appear in this book.
in the book.
Jace's understanding of magic was completely overturned by this book.
He even wants to get into the large energy laboratory right now to verify the authenticity of what is written in the book!
"This book is a magic textbook for the Shurima Empire." Looking at Jace's impatient look, Kalya smiled again on his mask, "Now, you should understand what I mean, right?"
"This is really..." Jace put down the book and tried hard to take his eyes away from the words that ordinary people thought were extremely boring. "It's unbelievable."
Kalya continued to smile.
"Mr. Kalya, I think I need to think about it." Putting down the book, Jess finally took a deep breath, "The shock I received today was a bit too great... I'm sorry, I'm afraid I need to take a rest now, carefully.
Think about it.”
"Easy." Kalya made a self-contained gesture, "You can take this book away if necessary."
"I -" Jace seemed to want to refuse, but finally gritted his teeth and picked it up, "If everything goes well, I'll see you tomorrow."
……………………
When Jess got home, Mel and Jer had been waiting for a long time.
"Is there anything special going on with Ike?" Looking at Jace's red eyes, Mel asked carefully, "Is the Zaun District about to withdraw its capital?"
"No, it has nothing to do with that." Jess smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Ike introduced me to a powerful mage."
"Isn't that a good thing?" Mel was a little confused, "Isn't it needed in the laboratory?"
"But he showed me too much." Jace took out the "Basic Theory of Magic", "I feel like my knowledge of magic has been completely refreshed... Sorry, dear, my head is now
The house is in such a mess that I have almost lost the ability to think. Let me be quiet for a while, okay?"
Mel wanted to say, "We should go to Piltover Daily for an exclusive interview now to prepare for the publication of his autobiography." But looking at Jace's devastated look, she could only nod helplessly in the end and watched Jace return to her home.
room, and then turned to comfort his expectant son.
"Really, you are such a big man, why are you still acting like a child?" After making a new promise to Jer, and reluctantly letting the little guy accept that his father has more important things, Mel finally breathed a sigh of relief, "
However, powerful mages and magic theories...how come I have never heard of them?"
After returning to the room, Jace reminded himself again and again to calm down and not think about the magic theories he had just read.
However, after closing his eyes and resting for a few minutes, he opened the book and continued reading.
When Mel, who was worried about him, entered the study, Jess's eyes had turned red from excitement and excitement, and his whole person was immersed in an indescribable fanaticism.
"My dear, are you okay?" Looking at Jace's appearance, Mel finally realized the seriousness of the problem, "It's been eight hours. You are not Victor. If you continue like this, your body will collapse.
It fell!"
"I'm very well now." Jace shook his head, "Better than ever, dear, I seem to have returned to the time when I first came into contact with Hex Technology when I was a child. Do you understand——"
"It doesn't matter whether I understand or not." Seeing Jace's appearance, Mel didn't hesitate at all and snatched the book from him, "Now, go take a shower right away and go to bed early!"
Jace blinked.
"The bath water is ready." Mel sighed helplessly, "Your favorite blue herb bath bag - go and take a bath."
"Oh." Jace stood up somewhat numbly, as if he had not yet been freed from the state of reading just now, "What about you?"
Mel glanced at Jace with a subtle expression.
Jace continued to ask, with a hint of subtle anticipation in his tone, "Want to come together?"
"..."
Although he had already taken a shower, Mel did not refuse.
Then - she found helplessly that things seemed to be quite different from what she thought.
Even if he and he were soaking side by side in the large double bathtub, Jace still seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit, enthusiastically talking about his gains and knowledge.
Objectively speaking, Mel really likes Jace's focus and talent, but could you please Jace take a look at the occasion?
Am I here to hear you talk about the principles of magic?
And don’t you have no talent for magic? How come you still talk about the principles of magic in a clear and logical manner?
Just when Mel almost couldn't help but interrupt Jace's singing and urged him to go to bed early, the excited Jace didn't hold back for a moment and brought up a very delicate topic.
"Dear, you know, I have begun to think about whether to accept Hex body modification!"
"I used to think that time is generous enough for me, or that geniuses always have plenty of time, but today I suddenly realized that I may need more time..."
"If possible, I really hope to undergo Hex body modification surgery so that I can stop myself at this time forever——"
"Don't even think about it." Mel's face finally turned cold, "I have no interest in the cold Hex crystal core."
Jess was speechless, as if a basin of cold water had been poured over his head.
At this moment, he finally woke up from his feverish state - he was so carried away before that he even mentioned Hex body modification in front of Mel.
Mel has always been opposed to Jace's Hex body modification, and she would rather grow old slowly with Jace.
In other words, Mel is full of disgust for all "eternity".
Seeing Jace's silent expression, Mel finally could only take a deep breath, then stepped out of the bathtub and threw a thick bath towel to Jace with his backhand.
"Stop soaking, wipe it clean and come into the house with me!"
