The "third hand" behind Victor turns out to be just a Hex laser welding gun.

Caitlin really believed it when she heard it at first.

Because she and Jess are childhood sweethearts, and Victor and Jess are life-saving friends, they are the best partners to co-lead the Hex Technology application research team.

Therefore, through daily contact with Jess, Caitlin also indirectly learned about some of the cutting-edge technology projects that he and Victor were currently working on.

According to Jess:

They are planning to further put Hex technology into practical use and create various Hex industrial production tools that can help workers reduce labor and improve production efficiency.

For example, the "Hex Super Miner Gloves" can help miners easily move heavy objects and crush mineral rocks.

For example, the "Hexus Laser Robot Arm" can help welders avoid intense heat, weld quickly, and help firefighters cut steel bars and break obstacles.

The "third hand" on Victor's back now should be the latter.

Well, there's nothing strange about it. It's just an "upgraded version of the welding gun" for workers. It's essentially the same as the hammers and pliers in the hands of workers, and they're both harmless to humans and animals...

What a harmless ghost!

"Is this a murder weapon?!" Looking at the huge iron ingot that had been easily cut in half by the laser, and the molten steel that was still slowly dripping from the section, the corners of Caitlin's mouth were filled with laughter.

twitch.

This thing was dangerous. More deadly than any weapon she had ever seen.

"Professor Victor—" Caitlin immediately became alert: "You are weaponizing Hex technology!"

This is a very serious accusation.

Because Professor Heimerdinger, who dominates Piltover's scientific community, has always been firmly and clearly opposed to the weaponization of Hex technology.

Most scientists in the academic world, some out of pure humanitarian ideas, do not want their inventions to become murder weapons;

Some believe that Hex Technology has only been born a few years ago, and the magical energy contained in Hex gems is not yet completely stable, so it would be risky to weaponize it hastily;

Some are unwilling to turn Hex Technology into a weapon that can affect war games due to political and interest considerations, so that Piltover, as a "permanent neutral country", is forced to get involved in the terrifying geopolitical struggle between major powers.

In short, most scientists currently do not support the weaponization of Hextech.

Jace, and even Victor himself before yesterday, are typical representatives of this group of scientists.

But now, he has modified the production tools he invented into killing tools, and has taken the lead in researching Hextech weapons.

"Professor Victor." Caitlin frowned seriously: "Why do you want to do such a dangerous weapon test?"

"Shouldn't you be Jace's friend and a staunch anti-militant?"

"I..." Victor's expression was complicated.

He had indeed been unwilling to do any research related to weapons development before.

He worked hard to invent these Hex equipment for the sake of the poor in his hometown of Zaun, and to use technology to promote social progress and improve the quality of life of his compatriots.

For example, Victor used to think like this:

Many people in Zaun work in the mines. They have to use their flesh and blood to mine and carry the ores every day. Not only is it very hard and tiring, it is also easy to cause physical damage due to overwork.

So as long as he invented the "Hexus Super Miner Gloves", Zaun miners could easily dig ore and move giant rocks, allowing them to save energy, improve efficiency, and have more time to rest.

But yesterday, Levi woke him up.

Victor suddenly realized that if he did not change this turbid world, then the best production tools he invented would have limited meaning.

The "Hex Super Miner Gloves" that increase miners' work efficiency tenfold will not increase miners' income tenfold or reduce their working hours tenfold.

It will only make nine-tenths of the original miners unemployed and be forced to wait for death in the smelly ditches of Zaun.

"What the Zaun people need now is not the Hex Miner Gloves, they need the Hex Armed Gauntlets."

"The business owners don't understand other languages, and the Zaunites can only talk to them with their fists."

Victor remembered Levi's words.

Weapons are dangerous, but the Zaunites need them.

Only by using this gauntlet to blast the enemies into the sky one by one can the Zaun people safely use Hextech for mining.

"Yes, I am doing research on Hex weapons." Under Caitlin's vigilant gaze, Victor finally admitted openly.

"This..." Caitlin frowned: "Do Jace and Professor Heimerdinger know?"

"They don't know." Victor replied.

"Then I must tell Principal Heimerdinger about this and let him judge whether your behavior is appropriate." Caitlin still warned mercilessly like a qualified law enforcement officer: "If the situation is serious,

Perhaps our Piltover Police Department will also intervene in the investigation."

"Wait, Miss Caitlin." Victor persuaded her thoughtfully.

But he did not explain the weapons research, but asked: "You came to the school to see Professor Heimerdinger to talk about the Iron Fist Gang and Sheriff Marcos, right?"

"How do you know?" Caitlin really cared.

"It's not difficult to guess." Victor replied: "If you want to fight against the existing order in Piltover, the only one you can hope for is Senator Heimerdinger."

"And, if I guess correctly...Professor Heimerdinger should reject your request."

From student to teaching assistant to colleague, Victor has been studying with Heimerdinger for more than ten years. He can also predict how Heimerdinger will react to this matter.

"You are right, Mr. Victor... Professor, he has already rejected me." Caitlin reluctantly admitted.

It turned out that everyone could see that she was bound to fail, but she was the only one who foolishly persisted.

"Then what are you going to do next?" Victor asked, "Continue the investigation?"

Caitlin was silent.

She hadn't even thought about this problem herself.

She was unwilling to not investigate; but if she continued to investigate...it was just her alone, what would be the use of investigating?

What she was fighting against was not the small Iron Fist Gang at all, but the underground order of Piltover.

"It seems there is nothing you can do, Miss Catelyn."

"Are you laughing at me?" Caitlin clenched her fists in shame.

"No, I want to tell you -" Victor paused slightly: "If your method doesn't work, maybe you can try our method."

"What's your approach?" Caitlin was slightly startled.

Then she realized in time that she walked in out of curiosity after hearing these students mention the words "Iron Fist Gang".

Judging from the context, it is obvious that they are also enemies of the Iron Fist Gang.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Although she didn’t know what grudge Victor and these students had against the Iron Fist Gang, Caitlin couldn’t help but ask:

"Do you have any way to deal with the Iron Fist Gang?"

"Yes." Victor replied.

"What can I do?" Caitlin asked a little self-deprecatingly: "I have gone to all the homes of the top congressmen, but no one is willing to agree to my investigation."

"Professor Heimerdinger can't do anything about them, so why can you?"

"With this." Victor shook his "third hand".

Lina and her classmates also steadily picked up the machine guns and artillery they made by themselves, exuding a murderous atmosphere.

"Can this be used against the Iron Fist Gang?"

Caitlin: "..."

She now understood why Victor and others wanted to build weapons.

This is really useful against the Iron Fist Gang.

"But it can't deal with the people behind the Iron Fist Gang."

After feeling the high morale of the students, Caitlin was really excited. It was like a lone hero who charged alone to the enemy's position and finally found a comrade who could fight alongside him.

But she still woke up in time:

"Professor Victor, and classmates, although I don't know what grudges you have with the Iron Fist Gang, I still advise you to calm down."

"If you take these things and go out to fight with the Iron Fist Gang, even if you win, the result will only be... you will be suppressed and arrested by law enforcement officers."

Speaking of this, Caitlin's expression was a little complicated.

She is obviously a law enforcement officer. But how come under this topic, she unconsciously sides with a group of "criminals" who want to establish illegal armed forces in Piltover?

The law enforcement officer of Piltover, who was supposed to be on the side of justice, was instead called a bad guy by her.

"Miss Caitlin, you are right. Even if our guns can defeat the Iron Fist Gang, they cannot defeat the people behind the Iron Fist Gang."

Victor saw the entanglement in her heart and took the opportunity to ask:

"But what if there are people above us?"

Huh? There are people above you too?

Caitlin looked at the weak-tempered Victor and these students in school uniforms with confusion.

This group of people would inexplicably pick up guns and fight with the Iron Fist Gang, which is already ridiculous.

How could anyone support them in going crazy like this? Who? It can’t be Professor Heimerdinger, right?

"That's you, Miss Caitlin Giraman."

Just when the righteous Piltover policewoman was surprised and guessing, Victor sent her an even more absurd and shocking invitation:

"The students and I are planning a new gang."
Chapter completed!
