Crystal oscillators. They're pretty small. Like--[CONVENIENTLY as they are back in the lab, he dumps his stuff down and grabs some CPUs to point them out.]--right in here, there's a plate made of quartz. We use them for precision timing, mostly.
[AND DATA TRANSMISSION? HOW DO THEY TRANSMIT DATA? I HAVE NO IDEA I'M READING QUORA]
In my world, we use a lot of holographic technology--the lasers we use for those have crystals in them too.
[FEEDS YOU BITS OF COMPUTER INFORMATION FOR LUKE'S SPY ASS "he's not a spy" A SPY
Viktor leans in to look at what Luke has. His expression and his eyes are different here and now. Usually, he looks like a twig that hasn't slept in weeks, a dying man, but here, with all of this, there is a focused light in his eyes. Hungry. He's hungry for knowledge, for the workings of things.]
Quartz... [HE LOVES THIS. He's hoarding all of this info to take back with him.] That's incredible.
[Dahut is going to feed this man so many pies that he will return to the living side looking like a different person.
Luke hands the piece over!! Feel free to examine it.]
It's pretty cool. If I had a time machine, I'd love to go back and watch people discovering these things for the first time. It must've seemed like magic to them, too.
[Just don't ruin your hexcube with ads and influences, Viktor]
He will examine this piece, yes, for a long and studious moment, and then he offers it back. So he can look at other things and also at what Luke is doing, of course.]
I can remember when we discovered Hextech for the first time. It was... amazing. Nothing like we had ever seen before.
[He will take it back! And as he does, he starts. I don't know. PUTTING TOGETHER COMPUTER INNARDS?? I guess you probably have to put stuff on the motherboard first huh. I'M GOING TO SIGN UP FOR A CLASS SO I CAN TAG THIS THREAD IN PEACE]
It's pretty new, then? I remember you're not that much older than me. [Things a 24-year-old says to a 30-year-old so confidently]
Only five years, but it's advanced that much? [To do all the things Viktor described... to become a big part of society in general? That's pretty impressive, to him.]

They're going to have to make the shittiest case known to man, but they will probably have to Raspberry Pi it. IT'S FINE. Motherboard time.]
What... kind of crystals exactly?
[They probably are, but look. LOOK. Is modern technology not magic.]

I'm... a little older, I think.
[LUKE IS A BABY. A toddler.]
We created Hextech officially about... five or six years ago, yes. We refined the crystals used to make what would be Hextech, I should say.
