Warhammer: The Time Traveler

Chapter 49 Data Analysis
Inside the abandoned town's workshop, the environment is constant and enclosed.

The energy core provides a steady low hum, and the air purification system works continuously to completely isolate the interior from the corrosive environment of the desert.

The space was filled with a distinctive smell of engine oil, coolant, and a faint ozone mixture.

Chen Yu's dark red mechanical body is the center of activity in this space.

He was handling multiple tasks, but he didn't pay much attention to the news from Mann's team that certain factions in Night City were beginning to show curiosity.

These trivial commotions, fueled by speculation and greed, have a very low priority in the face of his planned technological blueprint and are not worth allocating computing resources to for the time being.

His work focuses on more fundamental construction and more distant exploration.

Currently, his main focus is on two parallel projects: conducting in-depth analysis of the data obtained from the first dimensional teleportation experiment, and advancing and completing the treatment of Sasha Yakovlevva to ensure her vital signs are completely stable and to implement subsequent treatment and customized prosthetic modification plans.

Undoubtedly, the former holds absolute priority in terms of computing resources and logical core.

Beside a specially designed medical bed, Sasha was in deep hypothermic hibernation, with her vital functions reduced to the minimum necessary to maintain basic functions.

Her body is largely held together by bioactive gels and a sophisticated mechanical support structure, and her face is serene.

Multiple tubing and implantable interfaces connect her spine to her major nerve clusters, continuously delivering nutrients, stabilizers, and nanounits that perform microscopic repair tasks.

Chen Yu regularly conducts comprehensive system scans and updates the data records.

The information on the holographic interface shows that Sasha's vital signs have completely stabilized, the most critical brain tissue damage has been repaired, and the baseline of neural activity is stable.

"Major organ functions are stable, and the central nervous system repair is complete. The current life support protocol can continue until the next phase." His synthesized voice calmly reported the status, while the optical lens swept across the constantly updated parameters: "Basic physiological treatment has been completed, and we will now enter the functional reconstruction phase."

At this moment, Chen Yu is using the commercially available prosthetic components collected by Mann's team as basic materials for in-depth modification and precise adjustment, in order to use them for Sasha's body reconstruction.

These products from the Night City Market, in his eyes, were full of crude compromises in their original design: bloated and inefficient interface protocols, poor biocompatibility of materials, and excessive redundancy in energy transfer paths.

He used mechanical tentacles and specialized tools, like a master restorer treating a poor imitation, to disassemble, clean, and rewrite its internal firmware, optimize its physical structure, and treat key contact surfaces with self-developed dielectric coatings and neural waveguide materials.

In this world where the technology tree has gone astray, mature prosthetic technology can indeed replace most of the body's original tissues.

However, this alternative is far from perfect, and its technical flaws—especially those that cause the accumulation of neural load and severe rejection reactions—are precisely what Chen Yu coldly observes.

He precisely implanted the modified components while recording all the data from a researcher's perspective.

In the Warhammer universe, from which he comes, which has stricter standards and a deeper foundation for "human-machine integration," the phenomenon of "cyber psychosis," which causes mental breakdown due to underlying technological defects, is itself a valuable research sample.

He hopes to use Sasha's case to deeply analyze its triggering mechanism.

Of course, this research goes hand in hand with the commitment to treatment.

He incorporated unique technologies from the Mechanicus tradition into the modification, such as a more sophisticated neural mesh interface and sensor algorithms that can simulate near-native touch, which will significantly improve the performance and adaptability of Sasha's new body.

For him, the process of treating Sasha was also an excellent opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the limits of local technology and to collect data on his full-body modification experiments.

After confirming that Sasha's condition was stable, Chen Yu switched the main processing thread to the core area of ​​the laboratory.

It was much quieter here, with only the necessary sounds of the equipment running. The servo skull projected a complex data visualization interface, displaying detailed information captured from the last teleportation experiment: the trajectory of energy release, the brief distortion of spacetime structure, and various readings of the teleportation unit at the moment of transit.

Chen Yu's mechanical tentacles interact with the data stream, filtering, comparing, and calculating.

His processing power was fully utilized to analyze this information involving the underlying operation of physical rules.

“Note this energy decay pattern,” Chen Yu pointed to a set of curves. “When the dimensional channel reaches its maximum opening and begins to close, the energy dissipation does not show the expected sharp decline, but instead maintains a steady state for a very short time.”

During this period, energy fluctuations are confined to a very narrow range, exhibiting resonant characteristics.

He called upon multiple analytical models for verification.

“Our initial assumptions may have been too straightforward, viewing simple transmission as a powerful breakthrough, which was both energy-intensive and risky. But this resonance phenomenon suggests another approach…” He pulled up a detailed spectrum diagram of this stage for simulation: “Perhaps there is a more efficient method. If we can actively stimulate and control this resonance state, instead of simply pursuing an increased channel aperture… it may be possible to maintain an extremely weak but stable cross-dimensional link.”

It's like opening a door a crack; objects can't pass through, but information can flow through.

This is one of the key objectives of the first experiment.

The core instructions of that specially made servo skull contained an important task: after confirming that it had arrived at the target coordinates (i.e., the ruins where Chen Yu left the Warhammer universe) and was in a safe environment, it would send an encrypted confirmation signal to the departure coordinates at a predetermined time.

The signal itself is simple, but whether it is successfully received is of great significance.

"Adjust the energy output parameters of the dimension transmitter," Chen Yu instructed the servo skull. "Shift the focus from pursuing peak output to controlling frequency precision, and try to reproduce and maintain that resonant state."

At the same time, we set our signal receiving system to maximum sensitivity and continuously monitored the preset frequency band, attempting to capture specific encrypted signals transmitted from 'Coordinates Beta'.

He knew that the cosmic background interference and dimensional barriers themselves would bring a lot of noise, making it very difficult to identify that faint signal.

However, this is still the option with the lowest risk and the highest potential value at present.

Once a confirmation signal is successfully received, it not only proves that the transmission path is basically feasible and the messenger is alive, but also means the possibility of establishing two-way low-bandwidth communication.

This will provide crucial information for subsequent decision-making.

As a cautious researcher, he naturally prepared a backup plan.

If prolonged monitoring yields no results, or if the information received indicates a critical situation in the Warhammer world, he will have to consider a riskier option—a short, heavily armed return mission.

But that would require more preparation, including accumulating additional energy and possibly being accompanied by locally manufactured combat units.

To increase the success rate of this "eavesdropping" experiment, Chen Yu has upgraded the workshop's energy and computing systems using newly arrived high-purity energy crystals and precision components.

The fusion reactor output is more stable, and the server array has also enhanced signal processing capabilities to better extract potentially valid signals from noise.

The entire workshop was in a state of readiness, with all preparations made to capture that faint echo that might be coming from another universe.

The outcome of this attempt will directly influence his next course of action—whether he will continue with safe remote exploration or must once again personally venture into that dangerous and dark world.
