Viktor's "third hand" turned out to be nothing more than a Hextech laser welding gun.
At first, Caitlyn actually believed him.
After all, she and Jayce had been childhood friends, while Viktor and Jayce were friends bound by a life-saving debt and the perfect partners leading the Hextech application research team together.
Through her daily interactions with Jayce, Caitlyn had also indirectly learned a little about the cutting-edge projects he and Viktor had been researching lately.
According to Jayce:
They planned to further practicalize Hextech technology and create all kinds of Hextech industrial tools that could help workers reduce their workload and improve productivity.
For example, the "Hextech Super Mining Gauntlets," which could help miners easily move heavy objects and smash apart ore.
Or the "Hextech Laser Mechanical Arm," which could help welders avoid intense heat and weld quickly, while also helping firefighters cut through steel bars and clear obstacles.
The "third hand" on Viktor's back was probably the latter.
Mm, there was nothing strange about it. It was just an "upgraded welding gun" for workers. Essentially, it was no different from the hammers and pliers in workers' hands—completely harmless.
Harmless, my ass!
"Isn't that a weapon for killing people?!" Caitlyn's mouth twitched as she stared at the massive iron ingot that had been effortlessly sliced in half by the laser, along with the molten steel still slowly dripping from the cross-section, scorched by light and heat.
That thing was dangerous. More lethal than any weapon she had ever seen.
"Professor Viktor—" Caitlyn instantly became wary. "You're weaponizing Hextech technology!"
That was an extremely serious accusation.
Because Professor Heimerdinger, who led Piltover's scientific community, had always firmly and explicitly opposed weaponizing Hextech technology.
Among most scholars and scientists, some simply held humanitarian ideals and did not want their inventions reduced
