Chapter 266 Rune Technology, I Can Enchant Mechas

"Rune technology theory" is linked to "rune magic".

But it is simply impossible for Li Lin to completely master the "rune theory".

Even with systematic support, he would not be able to thoroughly study all aspects of rune magic unless it took an unpredictable amount of time.

Apart from demigod ascendants like Xerath, the only human being who is proficient in rune magic is the rune mage Ryze.

Li Lin thought that he was not as good as this arcane master who had lived for thousands of years and whose life span had been extended indefinitely by the overflowing power of the world's runes.

After all, his main job is "machinist", and he is an arcane mage through and through. He claims to have mastered rune magic. Their understanding of magic is not at the same level at all.

When studying "rune technology", the understanding of rune imprints is the foundation.

Although there are only 5 rune marks, corresponding to precision, dominance, witchcraft, determination and enlightenment.

But these 5 main runes can be disassembled and reorganized into various different sigils, and different arrangements and combinations exhibit different effects.

For example, the most basic elemental enchantment function is to add resistance to items such as water, wind, thunder, fire, earth, etc. The most required sigil is resolute.

Paired with witchcraft, you can add water, wind and thunder resistance.

Paired with Juggernaut, you can add fire and earth attribute resistance.

Even through random arrangement and combination, new magical effects that have not even been recorded in the system can be discovered.

It may have a beneficial effect, or it may be extremely dangerous. With sufficient energy, it is not a problem to blow up half a city.

This is one of the main reasons why Li Lin feels that he cannot understand the rune theory at all.

If the mark is carved on a small blue crystal or special metal, it becomes a special magic amulet.

Of course, rune technology unlocks more than just that.

Ordinary mechanical devices can also imprint sigils, and the effect they bring is much better than Hex technology that relies solely on energy crystals to achieve scientific control of magic.

In short, compared with Hex Technology, Rune Technology is the true "magic technology".

Li Lin combined the knowledge he already knew, frowned and thought for a long time, and finally selected a few rune magics that were barely suitable for his armor and wanted to use them for experiments.

A magic that uses a combination of precision, dominance, determination and enlightenment to automatically absorb magical elements in the air or its own energy to repair items.

A magic that uses a combination of precision, dominance, and sorcery to enhance the effects of energy weapons.

A magic that uses precision, witchcraft and enlightenment to automatically absorb magical elements floating in the air to charge mechanical items.

There is also a magic that uses a combination of determination and enlightenment to enhance the defense capabilities of items.

Li Lin first entered the rune marks for these four enchantments into Zhinao, and then went to the workshop where the armor was produced.

Once you have mastered the arrangement and combination of rune marks, it is actually very simple to enchant an item. You just need to use magic to continuously imprint runes on the surface of the item.

Even if Li Lin doesn't use his own mana, the mechanical arm using Hex energy crystal as the energy supply core just meets the requirement of "magic energy".

Just when Li Lin was about to directly control the mechanical arm to operate on the third-generation Infinity Armor, Zhinao's reminder made him give up the idea.

[Master, according to my calculations, your current probability of successfully enchanting the first magic is 22%, and then the probability of successfully enchanting the second magic is only 3%...]

[Are you sure you want to enchant directly on the Source Project·Infinite Third Generation War Armor? This may cause damage to your Warframe. 】

Yes, this is my first time enchanting, so I should practice my skills first.

Li Linyin had just unlocked a new technology, and his heated mind instantly calmed down.

"Thank you for the reminder, Zhinao."

【Serving you is my job. 】

Since it is not possible to directly enchant the Infinity Armor for the time being...

Li Lin looked around and glanced at the "empty" workshop.

In order to earn blue essence, he had sold all the air combat machinery to the [Essence Store].

And the morning light that accompanied him all the way in Shurima was also given to him as a gift by Li Lin in order to achieve cooperation with Yabus.

"In that case..."

Li Lin thought for a moment, then pointed his hand at the materials in the room, activated the mana flowing in his body, and used the "speed assembly" skill.

The mana was released like a torrent, and several hundred were quickly consumed.

At the same time, each mechanical part seemed to be held up by countless invisible hands, quickly flew in front of him, and was pieced together.

A large amount of mana continued to be consumed, and cold sweat broke out on Li Lin's forehead and temples.

Due to consuming too much mana at one time, his body suffered from slight physical discomfort.

Dizziness, nausea, and a feeling of deficiency in the body as if due to kidney deficiency...

Finally, when the mana value of more than 9,000 dropped to more than 5,000 in just a few seconds, a third-generation infinite battle armor of ordinary quality appeared in front of Li Lin.

"call--"

Li Lin breathed a sigh of relief, took the handkerchief from Zhinao's robotic arm and wiped the sweat from his forehead and side of his face.

To be honest, even some more experienced mages cannot bear such a consumption of mana.

Generally, when a large amount of mana needs to be consumed, magic items are used to construct a magic circle as an alternative, and magic is drawn directly from nature.

That is to say, Li Lin's body has been strengthened so that he can do this without any big problems.

"This extremely fast assembly is easy to use, but isn't it too expensive to assemble a set of third-generation armor? Although I haven't added much to this skill, it's only level 5.

"Sigh... It seems that using high-speed assembly to make a third-generation armor for training is not possible. Let's try to create a storm later."

While thinking about it, Li Lin drank a bottle of shimmer potion to make up for his body's shortcomings. At the same time, he asked Zhinao to fix the armor on the shelf and start enchanting it.

The energy crystal was activated, and several robotic arms began normal testing before use under the control of the brain.

At the end of the test, Li Lin chose a robotic arm originally used for laser welding, removed its laser nozzle, and quickly transformed it into a pure energy output.

For the sake of conservatism, the first enchantment must not be performed at the same time.

Li Lin put on protective equipment and focused his eyes on the chest where the Hex core was originally installed on the armor.

He plans to first enchant the armor with magic that can automatically absorb the magic power in the air to power itself.

This kind of rune magic is also used in energy crystals, which he is more familiar with.

Let Zhinao power on the armor, unfold the armor on the chest, and reveal the groove of the energy core.

Li Lin took a deep breath and concentrated on controlling the mechanical arm to reach the chest of the armor.

As he thought, the mechanical device squeezed the energy crystal, and pure blue-white energy flowed upward along the mechanical pipe and ejected from the launcher of the mechanical arm.

The moment he touched the core groove, Li Lin immediately controlled the robotic arm to start moving.

The hot blue energy leaves a blue-white mark on the core groove of the armor.

Soon, the first half-witchcraft talisman was successfully engraved.

Li Lin didn't dare to hesitate too much and immediately started to carve the other half of the enlightenment mark next to it.

The first few rune marks were carved very smoothly, but when it came to the third to last mark, an accident happened.

The precision sigil and the enlightenment sigil suddenly mutated and were not compatible with each other. A small-scale explosion occurred, burning the groove of the armor's energy supply core, making it impossible to continue enchanting.

Li Lin let out a heavy breath, took off his goggles, and stared at the armor's disfigured chest. "Zhi Nao, have you analyzed the reason for the failure?"

[According to my calculations, the probability of an accident is 12.76%, the probability of the two rune seals being incompatible is 3.4%, the probability of being unable to enchant with energy is 43.5%, and the probability of the output power being wrong is 79.89%. 】

[Master, I suggest you try to adjust the energy output power. You can choose from the range of 79%-93%. 】

Li Lin nodded and directly eliminated the option "energy cannot be enchanted" which also had a high probability.

If it is really impossible to enchant with energy similar to magic, then the imprinting of the sigil will fail at the beginning, and there is no need to wait until the third to last one.

He spent mana to use "Mechanical Repair" to repair the armor, and immediately continued the operation.

When it came to the third to last rune, Li Lin tried to adjust the power and failed a dozen times before he successfully imprinted it.

As for the last two talismans, he had lost count of how many times he had failed.

Anyway, in the end, this set of infinite armor assembled using "extreme speed assembly" could no longer be restored with "mechanical repair" and was considered completely scrapped.

When it was almost dawn, Li Lin scrapped four or five newly assembled storm robots before attaching the "self-charging" rune magic to an air combat machine.

Li Lin was completely relieved, feeling physically and mentally exhausted for the first time after strengthening his body.

Self-charging is a very good magical ability. If it is simply imprinted on the core, it can at least support the storm robot's flight.

But if energy weapons are used, it is completely insufficient.

According to Intelligent Brain's calculations, if some of the materials of the Storm Robot are replaced with natural conductors of magic, and then the "self-charging" rune magic is engraved all over its body, the three energy crystals can be completely replaced.

But in this way, the production cost of the storm robot will increase several times, and the gain will not be worth the loss.

After all, the price of magic materials is not comparable to that of ordinary materials.

However, the "self-charging" magic that Li Lin currently masters can only be regarded as the lowest application of magic technology.

For relatively advanced charging rune magic, his current success probability is only a few tenths of a percent, which can basically be summed up as zero.

You can't become fat by eating in one go.

He must first fully control the most basic "self-charging" before he can slowly increase the level of enchantment.

Li Lin glanced at the clock on the wall. It was still some time before dawn, so he took another sip of the shimmer potion to refresh himself.

"Let's try the magic of strengthening defense again."
