Warhammer: The Time Traveler

Chapter 401 Assessment and Deployment (Seventh Update)

Chen Yu quickly browsed the report, and the massive amount of data was instantly compared and analyzed in his processing core.

"Assessment complete." Chen Yu's synthesized voice broke the silence. "Operational process standardization score: 71.3%. Logical chain integrity score: 68.9%. Data analysis and conclusion validity score: 65.1%. Overall score: 67.8%."

Reaching the knowledge and practical skills required to transition from the Menial rank to the lowest Acolyte rank.

The score was not high, in fact, it was very low, perfectly in line with the level of a lowest-level apprentice who had only studied for one year.

David felt a slight sense of relief, because he saw that Chen Yu's mechanical finger had made a very subtle mark on the report at a data point where he had identified telomere abnormalities and adjusted the solution.

"Your thinking still retains too many illogical leaps based on experience and intuition," Chen Yu commented, her tone as cold as ever. "However, within a limited knowledge framework, you have initially developed the ability to use tools to systematically analyze and solve problems, rather than blindly seeking answers."

This is quantifiable progress compared to a year ago.

He turned to David, his crimson lens focusing on the young man's face: "Based on this assessment, you have the initial qualifications to continue your studies. The next stage requires you to delve into the 'Principles of the Divine Geometry of Genetic Coding' and the 'Specifications for the Processing of Xenobiotic Materials'."

The theoretical knowledge and basic operational skills you have already mastered are sufficient to meet the biological system maintenance and repair needs of your mother, Gloria Martinez.

David's breath hitched slightly; he could hardly believe what he was hearing.

He looked up, his eyes filled with unbelievable anticipation.

Chen Yu's synthesized voice continued smoothly: "Therefore, you are permitted to return to your original dimensional world for a period of one standard Terra month. Your primary and sole task is to use what you have learned here to personally complete the treatment of your mother."

This will be the final practical assessment of your first phase of learning.

Success proves you have the initial ability to translate knowledge into real-world solutions. Failure, on the other hand, means your efforts over the past year have been worthless.

“Yes! Sage! I will… I will do it!” David’s voice trembled with excitement, but he struggled to stand up straight, his eyes burning with unwavering determination. He had waited too long for this moment.

Chen Yu said no more and turned to leave the biological research area.

For him, this was just a necessary interim assessment and practical verification.

David's growth rate was not outstanding, but returning him to a familiar environment to deal with a problem in which he had a strong sense of initiative was an effective way to test his internalization of knowledge and problem-solving abilities.

At the same time, this also aligns with the original spirit of the contract.

Perhaps, after successfully resolving its personal obsession, this "variable" can focus more intently on its subsequent learning and play a more stable role when performing certain specific tasks in the future.

After handling David's assessment and follow-up arrangements, Chen Yu did not return to his private laboratory deep within the base.

At the heart of his logic, another task had been prioritized: to make necessary contact with the newly arrived Neksam reinforcements commander and to establish the future defense architecture for this world of death.

In a tactical planning room next to the core command center of the base, Chen Yu's massive, dark red body stood silently before a huge holographic star map. The star map clearly marked the location of the Death World, the situation of the surrounding star field, and the approximate direction and orbital engagement area of ​​the enemy's attack in the recently concluded battle.

The airtight door slid open, and two visitors entered the room.

The leader was a marshal of the Christian Guard, whose code name was "Anvil-7".

His body had undergone mechanization modifications far exceeding those of an ordinary priest. His multi-legged chassis was stable and powerful, his main torso was covered with heavy composite armor, and several mechanical arms with different functions were retracted behind him. Only a human head that had been extensively modified and inlaid with a multispectral prosthetic eye remained. His face was resolute, like a rock that had weathered many storms.

He gave Chen Yu a standard gear salute, the movement accompanied by a subtle metallic scraping sound.

Following him was Captain Walton Miller, the commander of the battle group dispatched by the Steelhound Titans.

He was dressed in a sharp Titan pilot's uniform, the dark gray fabric adorned with silver gears and hound emblems symbolizing the Steelhound Legion, and his demeanor carried the ancient aristocratic air unique to Titan pilots, stemming from their mastery of divine machines.

He placed his right hand on his chest and gave Chen Yu a simple yet elegant bow, showing great respect.

"Marshal Anvil-7, Captain Miller." Chen Yu's synthesized voice rang out in the room, with a touch more gentleness for communication than a purely mechanical tone: "Thank you for Neksam's timely support."

The great sage Vox has surely explained to you both the value of this place and the threats it faces.

Marshal Anvil-7's voice came through a modulated, steady tone: "Grand Sage Vox and the Forging Council have issued clear instructions. Our duty is to ensure the safety of this world and its core facilities until the threat is eliminated or the Council assigns other tasks."

One of his mechanical tentacles pointed to several high-risk orbital approach points marked on the holographic star map. "Based on the data from this encounter, the focus of defense should be on orbital early warning and defense of key ground nodes."

It is recommended to deploy enhanced monitoring probes in the L-3 and L-7 orbits, and to establish at least three forward warning fortifications on the surface to form a crossfire network.

Walton Miller stepped forward, his voice gentle yet carrying a resolute weight, like the earth's hum as a Titan walks: "Sage Chen Yu, the Steelhound Legion remembers your contributions to the Forging World. By order of Archsage Vox, the 'Hunter' Company awaits your command."

His gaze swept across the star map, finally settling on the vast plains surrounding the surface base: "That area has a wide field of vision and excellent firing range, making it suitable as a standby position for our 'God's Machines'."

Any enemy who attempts to desecrate this place will experience the power of the Emperor's will incarnate.

Chen Yu listened quietly to their initial suggestions, while the crimson optical lens swept across the star map, quickly conducting data simulations and performance evaluations.

He noted that both the defensive plans of the Papacy and the battlefield choices of the Titan Legion implicitly assumed that they would be stationed there for a long time.

“Marshal Iron Anvil’s orbital early warning system and ground fortification network are the necessary framework.” Chen Yu first affirmed the Guardians’ plan, then turned to Walton Miller, “Captain Miller, your Titan is the decisive force. That plain is indeed the best position, but I want to add one point—your primary task is to protect the core of the base, especially the canyon experimental area on the east side. The ecological samples there are extremely fragile and precious, and cannot be lost.”
