Lika System

The Lee Internal/Kinetic Absorption System, or Lika System, is a energy absorption engine originally conceived by LG Chemical scientist Lee Man-Que in August 2010, in LG Chemical's laboratories near Seoul, East Asian Federation.

Components
The system contains two distinct subsystems. The first subsystem is a conical monodirectional thermodynamic absorber, which quickly projects a high-energy it is made of alternating layers of a proprietary metamaterial that alternatively attract and resist heat. The factor at which the attract and resist heat is amplified based on the amount of power fed to the absorber. In clinical testing, the absorber has been shown to reduce the heat in a small area by up to 99.3%, effectively reducing the metabolism of a living being to a state where it can not move.

The second subsystem is a liquid helium emitter, which sprays a steady stream of liquified helium-4 in the area affected by the thermodynamic absorber. This effectively freezes all objects in the affected area to a near solid-ice state. The result of both subsystems utilized together in a Lika engine is a localized area where internal thermodynamic energy has been nearly eliminated, and as such, mobility of living things becomes impossible due to a cryonic state.

Applications
Police departments across the Federation have expressed interest in the emerging technology in order to impede criminals' escape without using excessive physical force. Several defense companies, such as Hyasoda Military Industries, have approached LG Chemical about licensing the technology for weaponization. Sufficient testing has not been conducted on humans, and any negative effects of the Lika engine on humans are unknown. In some tests on laboratory mice, the mice were rendered extremely brittle, and shattered upon impact with sufficient force. The technology's likely application is industrial deep freezing, or further experimental laboratory uses.
