Warhammer: The Time Traveler

Chapter 84 Disassembly and Reassembly (Fifteenth Update)
The mechanical tentacles first removed the non-structural coverings from the servant's arms and torso shell.

What is revealed beneath is not the basic servo mechanism, but a dedicated instrument module that is tightly integrated and flashes its operating indicator light.

Chen Yu used a special tool to precisely disconnect the data and energy interfaces, and began unloading in an orderly manner.

The first thing removed was a molecular bonding analyzer.

It is firmly mounted on the left arm of the machine tool. Its sophisticated probe and internal sensing unit form a whole, which can quickly analyze the microstructure and elemental composition of materials. This is crucial for Chen Yu's reverse engineering research on local special materials.

Next, Chen Yu removed the core components of a high-precision material spectrometer from a dedicated slot on the right arm of the machine tool. The sensor array and spectroscopic module of this device are compactly integrated and are specifically designed to identify the characteristics of unknown compounds.

His tentacles then probed into the reinforced chest cavity of the servant, carefully dissecting and removing a multifunctional microscopic probe array.

The device consists of multiple nanoscale probes with different functions and their control bases, and is specifically designed for fine manipulation at the physical level and simultaneous detection at the energy level of tiny samples.

On the other side of the chest cavity, he also removed several data storage cores encapsulated in a robust, shockproof shell.

These storage units are currently empty, waiting to be filled with Chen Yu's subsequent research data.

While these specialized devices may not be the most cutting-edge creations in the Warhammer universe's technological hierarchy, their underlying design logic and manufacturing standards still far exceed the general level of this cyberpunk world. They are precisely the research tools that Chen Yu urgently needs to deeply analyze local technology and conduct cross-system integration experiments.

With these peripheral modules removed, the outline of the servant is now empty.

The disassembly then entered its core phase.

Chen Yu's tentacles opened the main structural compartment in the chest and abdomen of the machine servant, revealing its completely redesigned interior. The space originally used to house its own processing units and power source had been completely occupied by a larger and more complex device.

This is the core cargo being transported – a small plasma reactor.

The outer shell is cast from a dark alloy that can withstand extreme high temperatures, and its surface is covered with efficient cooling pipes and energy outlets.

Even when it is in a silent standby state, one can intuitively feel the heart-pounding potential energy contained within it.

Acquiring it means that Chen Yu can establish an independent and powerful power core for all high-energy-consuming equipment in the workshop, including the dimensional teleporter itself, and lay the power foundation for possible large-scale projects in the future.

Finally, Chen Yu retrieved the servant's original power source—a standard-sized nuclear fusion battery—from a relatively independent slot next to the reactor.

Although its output power is far less than that of a plasma reactor, its technology is extremely mature and its operation is stable and reliable, making it very suitable as a key backup energy source or for providing independent power to secondary equipment.

With dazzling speed and precision, Chen Yu's tentacles separated the plasma reactor and nuclear fusion battery from the servant's body and connected them to the temporary energy buffer and detection unit, confirming that they remained intact and functional during the violent journey across dimensions.

With the core materials removed, the originally bulky machine body instantly became empty, leaving only a metal frame that had been mostly hollowed out, a basic motion mechanism, and a processing core that seemed redundant because its function had been replaced.

It stood silently in place, as if its soul had been taken away, leaving only an empty shell.

At this moment, if it were a human being, they might look at this loyal servant who had completed his mission with a touch of sadness.

However, in Chen Yu's value system, mere sentimentality is inefficient and meaningless. The machine servant's transportation function has been fulfilled; its pre-set task as a "disposable carrier" has ended. Of course, "waste" is equally unacceptable.

Even if a machine frame with a basically intact structure and a decent motion mechanism is hollowed out, it is still a resource made of fine metal and reliable parts.

He will not scrap this machine servant, but will instead "recycle" it and give it new value.

He began the second phase of his work: to fuse and reassemble this servant framework from the Warhammer universe with technological artifacts from the cyberpunk world.

Chen Yu selected several prosthetic parts that had been salvaged previously, and after some adjustments and modifications, installed them on this basically hollowed-out machine servant.

The modification of machine servants usually involves cutting a standard human as the base body and then installing various different equipment according to the usage requirements.

Typically, the modification of servants also involves a frontal lobe resection to ensure that the servants do not have excessive self-awareness.

A well-maintained machine servant can typically operate for hundreds or even thousands of years.

For the empire, machine servants can be considered a vital foundation for its operation.

Even in the 40k era, which Chen Yu was most familiar with before his transmigration, the empire had become a nation on the back of corpses.

The modified servant quickly reverted to its basic human form, and apart from appearing a bit slow-witted and dull, it was almost indistinguishable from an ordinary person.

Chen Yu kept him in the workshop as a service servant, mainly responsible for cleaning and organizing the workshop tools, and when necessary, acting as Chen Yu's experimental assistant or test subject.

After dealing with the servant, Chen Yu shifted his attention from the reassembled servant to the small, fully-energized plasma reactor that had just arrived.

He personally connected it to the workshop's main energy network. With a low, energetic hum, the workshop's lighting became more stable and brighter, and the indicator lights of many standby devices lit up, significantly raising the energy level of the entire space.

He took one last look at the dimensional teleporter, which was still slowly rotating but whose energy level had dropped significantly and whose rifts were gradually closing, and the research equipment from his homeland placed next to it.

A successful experiment brought much-needed energy and research tools, and even an additional localized service unit.

External disturbances have subsided temporarily, and internal resources have been replenished.

In Chen Yu's crimson optical lens, the data stream flickered smoothly. He neither celebrated nor expressed any emotion.

He simply turned around calmly and walked towards the newly installed molecular bonding analyzer.

The next step is to conduct a more in-depth analysis of the previously obtained biotechnology gene-editing samples and several local special alloys.

Inside the workshop, a new research cycle has begun.
