Warhammer: The Time Traveler

Chapter 45 Chen Yu's Ambition

After seeing off Mann's team, who were busy collecting building materials, and placing Sasha into a cryogenic medical hibernation state, Chen Yu once again focused his attention on the dark golden dodecahedron—the dimensional teleporter.

The workshop has returned to its former order and quiet, with only the low hum of the equipment and the faint sounds of the servo skull scanner.

The energy core operates stably, providing him with ample power.

After securing a relatively stable energy supply, Chen Yu has successfully completed the basic "charging" of the Dimension Transmitter, and its internal energy reading has recovered to above a basic threshold.

Beneath the dark gold surface, the flowing patterns, seemingly alive, shimmered with an even brighter, more regular light.

But this doesn't mean he can start it at will and embark on a dimensional journey on a whim.

After this period of in-depth analysis, Chen Yu has gained a deeper understanding of this relic from the dark age of technology.

“Random teleportation… the risk factor is too high, almost suicidal.” He whispered to the servo skull floating beside him, his fingertips unconsciously tracing the cold surface of the teleporter.

The last time I was accidentally transported here from the Warhammer universe, the outcome was fortunate, but statistically low-probability events cannot be used as a basis for action.

In the vast multiverse, the probability of falling into the core of a star, a high-gravity singularity, or the backyard of an evil god in some dimension is far greater than finding a habitable world.

His research focused on analyzing the coordinate data stored inside the transmitter.

Through complex energy spectrum analysis and information reconstruction, he successfully separated and preliminarily deciphered two relatively stable coordinate parameters that had been recorded in the dimension teleporter.

“Coordinate Alpha,” Chen Yu pulled up the energy characteristic spectrum of the first coordinate and compared it with the fundamental physical constants of the current cyberpunk world. “…Confirmed, this is the coordinate of the current world.”

This verifies that the transmitter has recording and positioning functions. So, what about the other coordinates...?

“Coordinate Beta,” his optical lens focused on the second coordinate parameter, the data stream scrolling rapidly across the field of view. The energy characteristics of this coordinate were even more… “noisy.”

"...It is speculated that there is a 92.7% probability that these coordinates point to the Warhammer universe where I originally resided."

The moment Chen Yu reached this conclusion, a complex fluctuation arose in the core of her thinking.

The Warhammer universe, a desperate cesspool filled with endless war, dark gods, genocide, and insane ideologies, is the place he desperately wants to escape.

Without the dimensional teleporter, going back would undoubtedly be the worst option, a complete failure.

But... what if we could come and go freely?
This thought, like a flash of lightning in the darkness, gave him a completely new idea.

“If we can enter or leave at any time…” Chen Yu murmured, his mechanical tentacles tapping the workbench with a rhythmic thud. “Then returning to the Warhammer universe would no longer be the worst option, but rather a… highly valuable one.”

The reason is simple: although that universe is extremely dangerous, it also contains unimaginable technological treasures and enormous military strength.

As a mechanical priest who is just one step away from the title of Sage, Chen Yu is not without anything in the Warhammer world.

He possesses his own laboratory, a certain number of friars, loyal servants, and technological reserves and research results stored in a secure star system forging world.

During his last accidental teleportation, he was on a dangerous excavation of ruins and couldn't possibly bring all his belongings with him. If he could return to the Warhammer world and take his personal wealth with him, it would undoubtedly greatly increase his chances of survival in the unknown world.

After all, according to his latest research, the dimensional teleporter is not limited to teleporting him personally.

“Energy input is positively correlated with the mass/volume transferred.” He pulled up the energy calculation formula. “Given enough energy, I can carry more matter through. A small detachment of the Apostolic Guard, or even… more.”

This prospect gave him a chilling excitement.

With a loyal army of soldiers equipped with the most advanced weapons in the Warhammer world to protect you, your safety will be greatly enhanced when you travel to other unknown worlds to explore or "recycle resources".

Instead of relying heavily on local mercenaries as it does now, which undoubtedly increases uncertainty and risk.

His ambitions grew even further.

If the energy problem can be solved and a more powerful teleportation capability can be obtained, then the goal will no longer be just a religious friar.

"A cruiser-class forged ship..." Chen Yu's mind conjured up the massive, menacing silhouette of the Imperial Navy's warships, which resembled mobile fortresses.

Imagine the power it would be to own a forged ship with the ability to navigate across dimensions!
This means he can bring the entire mobile base to other worlds, with powerful firepower, production lines, and absolute security.

Even when facing a high-risk world, they have enough confidence.

At that time, the meaning of interdimensional teleportation will be completely changed.

It has transformed from a means of being forced to randomly teleport in search of a way home into a proactive and powerful strategic tool.

He can plunder technology and resources from other relatively "safe" worlds and bring them back to the Warhammer world in exchange for higher status, more resources, and more powerful technology.

The rigid yet incredibly profound technological foundation of the Warhammer universe, combined with the imaginative technological trees of other worlds, might spark unexpected innovations and even help him gain unprecedented influence within the Cult of Mechanics.

Of course, all of this is based on two foundations: complete control over the dimensional teleporter and an almost massive amount of energy.

The purpose of modifying the underground base is to create a safe and stable research environment, to completely unravel the mysteries of the teleportation device, especially how to more accurately locate new coordinates and how to safely construct teleportation channels.

Energy, on the other hand, is the cornerstone for realizing all ambitions.

He glanced at the quietly floating dimensional teleporter, its dark gold exterior seemingly concealing infinite possibilities.

Returning to the Warhammer world is no longer the end of his fears, but may be a new beginning full of opportunities.

What he had to do was prepare enough "luggage"—an army, resources, and technology—and then carefully push open the door to the stars and the sea.

The servo skull silently recorded its owner's thoughts and plans at this moment, the blue light in its eye sockets flickering steadily, like a calm star in the night sky.
