Warhammer: The Time Traveler

Chapter 325 The Power of Creation (Nine Updates)

“The resonance has intensified.” Chen Yu’s synthesized voice rang out during the intervals of thunder. His massive body stood a little distance away, with several sensor probes silently aimed at Spock, recording various physiological data and subtle changes in the surrounding energy field: “The instability of the primordial energy field, especially the current violent ionization phenomenon, directly interferes with his neuroendocrine system, amplifying the instinctive stress response during the physiological maturation process.”

Savik had been quietly observing from the sidelines, but at that moment she immediately stepped forward and knelt down next to young Spock.

Her expression remained calm, but her eyes were exceptionally focused.

“The time has come,” she stated calmly, then extended her hands, her fingertips gently touching Spock’s temples.

This is an ancient Vulcan gesture used as an initial guide for spiritual contact.

As if a switch had been flipped, the young Spock shuddered violently and his eyes snapped open!

In those dark eyes belonging to the Vulcans, there was no familiar calmness and logic, only a chaotic, primal storm of emotions—confusion, pain, fear, and an indescribable, surging vitality.

He instinctively tried to break free, letting out a low, almost beast-like whimper.

Savik did not back down; her fingers remained steady as a rock, her gaze fixed on those confused eyes.

She began to chant softly in Vulcan, her tone gentle and rhythmic, like a soothing incantation or a framework of logic.

“Control your breathing,” she said in clear Common, her voice not loud, yet strangely penetrating the approaching thunder. “Sensitize the energy within you, but do not let it dominate you. I am Savik, and I will guide you.”

Young Spock struggled, but his resistance seemed to lessen somewhat under Savik’s steady words and touch, though his breathing remained rapid and the confusion in his eyes had not yet subsided.

Savik continued her work, attempting to anchor a sliver of rationality for him amidst the storm of emotions through touch and the subtle projection of mental energy.

Chen Yu's crimson optical lens captured this scene in its entirety.

His sensors not only captured every fluctuation in Spock's physiological indicators and the frequency of disturbances in the surrounding energy field, but also recorded the sound wave patterns of Savik's chanting and the faint but unique field changes emanating from her spiritual power.

He even adjusted the recording mode in an attempt to analyze the possible transmission of information based on bioelectricity or more subtle levels during this guidance process.

He made no sound; his massive body cast shifting shadows in the frequent flashes of lightning, like a silent and omniscient observer.

For him, this was not merely an internal affair of a race, but a rare opportunity to glimpse how a highly rational civilization could intervene at the most vulnerable turning point in the lives of its individuals, using its unique knowledge system.

The biological, neurological, and even sociological implications of this are of great research value.

Everyone else in the camp held their breath. Mann's squad guarded the perimeter vigilantly, while Kirk and Sarrick anxiously watched the progress of the guidance.

Under Savik’s steady and rhythmic guidance, the turbulent emotional storm in young Spock’s eyes gradually subsided.

His violently heaving chest gradually calmed down, his rapid breathing became long and regular, and finally, his heavy eyelids closed, and he fell into a deep, almost hibernating silence, with only his steady breathing proving that he was still alive.

The tense atmosphere in the camp immediately eased.

Kirk let out a long sigh of relief, and Ambassador Sarek's clenched fist loosened slightly. Although his face remained expressionless, the tension in his shoulders eased considerably.

The members of Mann's squad relaxed their gun-holding stance slightly, but their wary eyes still scanned the storm-ravaged night sky and the dark wilderness.

As Chen Yu's massive body drew closer, the nimble probe arm once again conducted a comprehensive scan of the young Spock.

The sensors were reading detailed vital signs data. Young Spock's heart rate was stable, and his brainwave activity had changed from the previous violent and disordered state to slow, coordinated dormant waves. Although his metabolic rate was still higher than that of a normal Vulcan adult, it had stabilized and there was no longer a risk of it getting out of control.

The body's structure has also largely completed its transformation to adult form, with indicators such as bone density and muscle strength reaching maturity standards. "The physiological agitation has subsided," Chen Yu's synthesized voice announced his examination results amidst the thunder's pause. "The growth spurt has passed, and the body's major systems have completed adaptive adjustments."

It is currently in a deep recovery phase, consolidating the physiological changes resulting from the forced growth.

He raised his mechanical head, the crimson optical lens seemingly piercing through the rocky ledge, assessing the still turbulent external environment: "Based on the environmental energy decay model and the physiological stability needs of the target individual, it is recommended to evacuate after dawn local time and when the planetary energy field activity further weakens."

At that time, the interference of the external environment on individuals will be minimized, and the risk of transfer will be controllable.

This news was exhilarating for everyone.

Not only has Spock's chances of returning increased, but they are also about to leave this beautiful yet perilous planet.

Even the most meticulous scientists, like Carroll, couldn't help but marvel at the almost miraculous power displayed by the "Genesis Project."

A single energy source can transform a desolate planet into a vibrant world in such a short time, and even reverse death, giving a corpse a new life, even though the process is full of uncontrollable variables.

This ability to interfere with the fundamental laws of matter and life transcends the scope of most of the Federation's current technology.

Chen Yu, standing to the side, is conducting a more profound and pragmatic assessment at the core of her logic.

His mechanically modified mind quickly connected "Genesis Technology" with the harsh reality facing the human empire in the Warhammer universe.

The empire's territory is vast, but a truly habitable world suitable for human survival is always a scarce resource.

Countless worlds have been transformed into desolate wastelands or radioactive wastelands by war, alien invasions, chaotic corruption, or simply by overexploitation and industrial pollution.

The bureaucrats of the Terran Council and the Martian Mechanicus were not blind to the problem, but under the endless war and survival pressures, ecological restoration was usually relegated to a secondary role after weapons development and fleet maintenance.

What if... what if we could master this "creation" technology?

Chen Yu's database rapidly retrieved information on known star systems within the Empire that had harsh environments but were strategically important.

Transforming a dead planet into an eco-world capable of supporting fleet resupply and establishing forward bases; or "resetting" a resource-depleted and heavily polluted hive world to restore its production capacity...

The strategic value of this is so great that it can change the fate of a star sector and even affect the outcome of an expedition.

Admittedly, this technology is not yet stable, as evidenced by the dramatic changes on Genesis and Spock's abnormal growth.

The entropy increase effect and uncontrollable decay of the energy field caused by forcibly compressing spacetime are problems that need to be solved.

However, Chen Yu believed that with his sage-level understanding, combined with the Mechanicus's accumulated knowledge in energy manipulation and macroscopic engineering, and the more fundamental scientific principles that could be exchanged from the Federation, he was fully capable of optimizing or even solving these problems.

His thoughts went a step further.

The application prospects of this technology, which directly reconstructs matter and life forms, probably extend far beyond ecological transformation.

Currently, he lacks a deep understanding of the core principles of "genesis technology" and cannot accurately assess the limits of its potential.

However, acquiring this technology has quietly risen to the same level as, or even higher than, the warp drive in his internal task list.
