Of course Jayce isn't going to make things the army can co-opt, but Viktor isn't worried about that. He doesn't trust Vi not to misuse their technology the way Jayce allowed her to do back home, and there's no good way of saying that, because Jayce seems to have a connection to her that Viktor doesn't quite understand. Their harrowing experience in the Undercity, however brief, has forged some kind of connection that Viktor can only observe from the outside, and the destructiveness of it colors his perception. He doesn't like this. He doesn't like that Jayce is going to push this forward, regardless, because he's afraid for Caitlyn.
So he'll review the blueprints and the actual device and he'll build in his failsafe. Maybe, once all of this is over and done with, he can convince Vi to return them, even though he already knows it's futile.
"If you're certain about this, then I'll trust you." At least until they have Caitlyn back. Maybe Vi can prove herself, in that way. "Because I get no pleasure from I told you so."
Not when it comes to the weaponization of their technology.
