Warhammer: The Time Traveler

Chapter 31 Imperial Technology, Breathtaking

Dorothy stepped forward.

As a former member of the Animal Gang, her path to enhancement focused on using large amounts of chemical drugs to stimulate and push the limits of the human body, engaging in excessive physical training to achieve exaggerated muscle strength and physique.

This brought her powerful combat ability, but it also subjected her body to huge drug toxicity and metabolic burden, and there was a perceptible delay in the transmission of signals between the nervous system and the strengthened muscle groups.

Chen Yu's scans went deep into her metabolic and endocrine systems.

"Your enhancement path is built on chemical catalysts and the overextension of your body's potential. Existing drug formulations are inefficient and have an excessively high cumulative rate of side effects."

His tentacles accessed tiny interfaces in several specific nerve plexuses and metabolic regulatory organs in her spine and abdomen. "I'm adjusting your liver enzyme secretion efficiency, kidney filtration rate, and neurotransmitter balance. This will significantly reduce drug toxicity residues and enhance your metabolic clearance capabilities. At the same time, it optimizes the transmission protocol between your nerve signals and strengthened muscle groups, reducing command delays."

Next, he took an auto-injector from a low-temperature refrigerator on the workbench, which contained a newly prepared, faintly fluorescent drug.

"This is a compound adaptive formula recalculated based on your current body parameters. It will stimulate your muscle potential more efficiently, while reducing the burden of its metabolites on the body by 70%. The new training cycle will need to be adjusted in conjunction with this drug, and it is expected to achieve peak strength improvement without side effects within four weeks."

Chen Yu recalibrated each of the haphazardly pieced-together sensors and reconnaissance equipment on Falco's body, which came from different eras.

Chen Yu not only adjusted the hardware parameters, but more importantly, upgraded its core data fusion and processing algorithm.

Falco found that the information in his visual interface became clearer than ever before, data from different sources were perfectly layered, superimposed, and correlated, invalid environmental interference alarms were reduced by about 70%, and the speed and accuracy of obtaining effective information were greatly improved.

Even Pila's mechanical prosthetic shoulder, which Chen Yu had just repaired, underwent a second minor adjustment.

Chen Yu optimized the instantaneous response curve of power transmission, which improved its reaction speed by another percentage point, making the movements even smoother.

Rebecca's new prosthetic eye was equipped with a more efficient target recognition and background filtering algorithm written by Chen Yu, which significantly reduced visual interference and misjudgment in the complex and chaotic lighting environment of Night City.

Finally, there was Sasha. Chen Yu's handling of her was the most meticulous and cautious.

His tentacles accessed the advanced data interface at the back of her head with an almost absolutely stable, slow motion.

"Your neural network is your most valuable asset, but its complexity also means it is extremely vulnerable."

Chen Yu's synthesized tone seemed even lower at this moment to avoid any possible interference, "Performing a deep scan. Clearing long-accumulated neural cache fragments, repairing microscopic data flow damage, and strengthening the proactive response logic of your cognitive firewall."

I will load a modified neural signal stabilization and buffering protocol for you, which will provide approximately 5% additional stability redundancy during high-intensity data intrusions or reverse surges, reducing the risk of brain tissue overload.

Sasha closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

She could feel a cold, absolutely precise and steady force operating in the most delicate and sensitive area of ​​her brain implant, meticulously manipulating the complex neural currents that even she herself could not fully control.

The entire process was painless; instead, it brought a strange sense of clarity and a feeling of relief, as if some vague burrs in my mind had been completely smoothed out.

After Chen Yu finished debugging all the team members, the workshop fell into a brief silence.

Everyone on the Mann team was immersed in the wonderful feeling brought about by the systematic optimization of their physical functions.

This enhancement didn't come from a crude upgrade of a single component, but rather from the entire body system reaching a state of high harmony and optimal resource allocation for the first time—a more profound, comfortable, and controllable power. "This…is just through tuning and software optimization?" Falco looked at his hands in disbelief, feeling the unprecedented sense of control over the equipment. "You didn't replace any hardware?"

"The true essence of technology lies in a deep understanding of existing systems and collaborative optimization, rather than blindly replacing components."

Chen Yu answered calmly, his words revealing an absolute grasp of the essence of technology: "The most efficient solutions often lie in the reintegration and potential tapping of existing resources."

Mann took a deep breath, trying to suppress his excitement.

As the team leader, he saw not only the improvement of individual abilities, but also a huge leap in the future potential of the entire team.

“Boss, this is just tuning… What if, if we want to go further and do a real hardware upgrade? Like Rebecca’s new eyes.”

His eyes were filled with a desire for greater power.

Chen Yu's crimson optical lens swept over each of them.

"of course can."

He walked to the main control terminal and quickly pulled up several complex blueprint outlines. These plans were generated in real time based on the detailed physical data, neural tolerance thresholds, and combat style preferences of each person obtained from the deep scan.

“Based on your biological foundation, neural stress limits, and tactical roles, I have designed a complete hardware upgrade path for each of you.”

The screen displayed the design for MAN, focusing on a more robust internal support structure, energy core, and impact management system.
The protocol designed for Dorio focuses on further optimizing the synergy between its biochemical metabolism and muscle response systems, and provides a more advanced drug formulation route.

The solution designed for Falco is a highly integrated, multispectral, multimodal environmental sensing and data processing suite.

The design for the Pira focuses on comprehensively enhancing its precision operation and weapon handling capabilities through its neural interface and stabilization system.
The design for Rebecca involved the safe and efficient integration of a heavier external weapon platform with its nervous system;

The solution designed for Sasha is an extremely advanced implant unit focused on top-tier neuroprotection, data encryption, and processing speed.

Each design concept is bold and ingenious, and its technical specifications and implementation effects far surpass any top-tier prosthetic products available in Night City.

These blueprints directly addressed their deepest desire to break through their own limits, leaving Mann and the others mesmerized, their breathing becoming rapid involuntarily.

"These...can they really be achieved with the current technology?" Dorio's voice trembled slightly.

"As long as there are qualified biomaterials, rare alloys, energy cores, and corresponding precision manufacturing equipment, it is feasible to modify and enhance any organic life form to a level far exceeding the current level within my technological system."

Chen Yu's tone carried a calmness based on absolute technological confidence, "Its theoretical limits are even comparable to..."

His words paused almost imperceptibly for a fraction of a second, and then the crimson optical lens seemed to instantly adjust its focus, becoming even more profound, and the atmosphere in the workshop seemed to freeze abruptly.

A faint hissing sound came from beneath the visor, yet it sent a chill down the spines of everyone who heard it (even though he might not have needed to breathe).
