Warhammer: The Time Traveler

Chapter 383 Technical Verification (Nine Updates)

The technology demonstration was held in a specially shielded verification room deep within the Gamma Territory Casting Temple.

The air here is circulated and purified, carrying a mixed smell of metal coolant and ozone. The walls are made of thick alloy and covered with data interfaces and monitoring probes to ensure that any energy fluctuations and signal transmissions inside are accurately recorded and analyzed.

In the center of the verification chamber, the warp drive core, which was under strict protection, was placed on a specially designed anti-gravity suspension platform. Dozens of data cables and energy conduits of varying thicknesses were connected to it, with the other end connected to a massive analysis array provided by the Martian side.

Without any pleasantries, the demonstration began with absolute focus.

The chief sage issued a short series of binary instructions, and the verification platform was immediately activated.

The surrounding tech priests immediately began operating their respective control terminals, and the entire space was instantly filled with the low hum of the servo systems in operation.

Chen Yu stood beside the platform, his mechanical body directly connected to the test array via a data interface.

The red light from the optical lens steadily sweeps across the real-time feedback data stream.

Instead of operating the equipment himself, he kept in sync with the technical priest who was conducting the tests via a high-speed binary data stream, ensuring that each test step strictly followed the predetermined procedure.

The first item is the fundamental energy field resonance test.

As the energy conduits emitted a deep hum, faint geometric patterns emerged on the surface of the engine core, and the surrounding air seemed to be slightly distorted, like observing an object through a shimmering heat wave.

The monitoring probe immediately detected this phenomenon, and a large amount of data began to flood into the analysis array.

"The field effect is stable, consistent with theoretical predictions," reported the technical priest in charge of monitoring, his microphone emitting short bursts of electrical noise.

The next step was the spacetime curvature interference test.

With the injection of higher intensity energy, the geometric patterns around the engine core suddenly brightened, forming a stable low-intensity field that completely enveloped the core.

The sophisticated gravimeters and spacetime measuring instruments in the verification room began to show fluctuating readings, clearly indicating that the local spatial structure was indeed subjected to measurable perturbations.

"Curvature interference reading confirmed, disturbance level Delta three, consistent with expectations." Another priest reported, his voice carrying the characteristic satisfaction of a successful technical verification.

The entire demonstration was rigorous and efficient, demonstrating the precision unique to mechanical engineering.

Although actual faster-than-light tests cannot be conducted in a closed verification chamber, this series of sophisticated experiments has fully demonstrated the feasibility of the warp drive principle.

The engine core's controllable influence on the spacetime structure drew the attention of even the most experienced Martian sages present.

The demonstration ended, the power supply was cut off, and the engine core returned to silence.

A brief silence fell over the verification room, with only the whirring of the analysis array's cooling fans and the slight hum of the data storage devices remaining.

The Q&A session then began. Questions poured into Chen Yu like a torrential downpour, delivered through binary language.

How can the crystal structure stability of the core substrate be maintained over a long period of time?

"What are the peak energy conversion efficiency and load curve of the field generator?"

How can the mapping accuracy between the navigation system and physical universe coordinates be guaranteed?

"What is the minimum energy threshold required to maintain a stable warp bubble and its relationship with mass?"

"The algorithm logic for avoiding high-quality celestial body gravitational wells?" The question involves multiple cutting-edge fields such as materials science, energy science, spacetime physics, and navigation, each of which hits the nail on the head, demonstrating the profound technical expertise of the Martian sages.

When they asked questions, the binary code emitted by the microphone was short and efficient, without any redundant information.

Chen Yu responded calmly, his response also transmitted via binary stream, clear, accurate, and logically rigorous.

He not only explained the principles, but also cited specific data observed in the demonstration as evidence. He even provided predictions and solutions based on a deep understanding of some potential technical difficulties that have not yet been considered in the Mars field.

Although his answers used cold binary language, the content revealed a researcher's passion and understanding of the technology itself.

He did not hold anything back, nor did he need to, because the true core of this technology lies in its complete theoretical system and manufacturing process, rather than a simple explanation of the principles.

The question and answer session lasted for several standard hours.

As Chen Yu answered each of the questions, the atmosphere of scrutiny and questioning that was originally present in the verification room gradually faded, and was replaced by a focused absorption of knowledge and rigorous discussion.

The sounds of binary code communication rose and fell, forming the only main melody in this secret room.

When the last sage ceased asking questions, the chief sage sent another binary message. This time, the recognition implied in its frequency was even more pronounced: "The technical verification and explanation of the principles are clear and complete. Sage Chen Yu, your knowledge and contributions have received preliminary recognition from the Martian Council."

Chen Yu nodded slightly and replied, "Knowledge needs to be shared to progress, and the glory of Omnisiah needs to illuminate more paths."

The demonstration and exchange concluded successfully.

With his solid technical foundation and candid attitude, Chen Yu successfully cleared the first and crucial obstacle for the future application of warp drive in the holy land of the Cult of Mechanics—questions about the credibility of the technology.

A series of sophisticated indirect tests, while failing to demonstrate the spectacular sight of faster-than-light travel, proved to the Martian Council, with irrefutable data and controllable physical phenomena, the rigor and feasibility of the warp drive principle.

However, validating the technology is only the first step.

The binary message issued by the Chief Sage after the demonstration not only acknowledged the findings but also conveyed an undeniable conviction: "The principle has been proven. The next step is to conduct physical verification."

The Mars orbital dock will immediately begin constructing a dedicated test vessel based on the blueprints and data you provide.

Mars's execution capabilities are astonishing.

Almost immediately after the order was given, the giant dock in Mars' synchronous orbit began operating at high speed.

The massive prefabricated components are precisely grasped and positioned by robotic arms, and tens of thousands of servo workers and engineering machines work together efficiently under commands. The light of the laser welding gun flickers silently in the vacuum, as if weaving steel veins for this new ship in the making.

This dedicated test vessel has a specially designed structure.

The most significant change is in the engine compartment—the traditional subspace drive unit and Geller force field generator have been completely omitted, replaced by a reinforced, compact compartment specifically designed to house and support the warp drive core.

The energy transmission network inside the ship was also redesigned according to the blueprints provided by Chen Yu, with interfaces reserved for high-load energy channels.

The design philosophy of the entire ship is clear: everything is designed to serve faster-than-light travel in the physical universe, and all redundant systems related to subspace are discarded.

Just as the keel of the test ship was gradually taking shape in the dock, another war without gunpowder was also fiercely unfolding in the data corridor and secret council chamber on Mars.

Once the feasibility of the technology was proven, the competition for interests came to the fore.
