Warhammer: The Time Traveler

Chapter 404 Exploring New Dimensions (First Update)
After the plasma reactor completed its final commissioning and the "matter replication system" technical blueprint was handed over, Chen Yu shifted his focus to the practical assessment and acceptance of his two apprentices.

He first went to the medical room assigned to David.

The air was filled with the mixed smell of disinfectant and nutrient solution, and various precision medical devices stood quietly in the corner, ready to be deployed.

Inside the life support pod, Gloria Martinez lay peacefully, her once pale face now glowing with health, her chest rising and falling gently with her steady breathing.

David stood beside the life support pod. Although his brows and eyes showed the fatigue of days of hard work, his overall mental state was noticeably more relaxed.

Upon seeing Chen Yu enter, he immediately straightened his posture and handed over the data board that recorded the entire treatment process with both hands.

“My sage, the treatment is complete.” His voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement. “Mother’s nervous system damage has been completely repaired, and the function of the damaged organs has returned to normal through induced gene expression and targeted nano-repair agents. All physiological indicators are within safe thresholds.”

Chen Yu took the data board, and the optical sensor quickly read the detailed data recorded on it.

Treatment records show that David adopted a gradual treatment plan: first, basic functions were repaired through precise neural synapse remodeling, then the severely damaged spinal bones were replaced using advanced prosthetic medical technology in Night City, and finally, gentle gene induction therapy was used to activate the body's own repair mechanisms.

Throughout the treatment, David demonstrated a level of professionalism that surpassed that of an ordinary apprentice.

He flexibly combined the systems biology knowledge of Mechanics with local prosthetic technology, without being confined to a single theoretical system, and always focused on therapeutic effects.

Although some steps were overly cautious and even somewhat cumbersome, this rigorous approach ensured that the risks of the entire treatment process were controllable, ultimately achieving the expected goals perfectly.

"The treatment records are complete, the operating procedures are standardized, and the final result meets expectations." Chen Yu's synthesized voice calmly announced the assessment results, "The assessment is passed. You have demonstrated your ability to translate theoretical knowledge into practical skills."

David took a deep breath and nodded solemnly, "Thank you for your guidance, wise one."

Chen Yu didn't say anything more and turned to leave the medical room.

For him, this treatment was not only a test of David's learning achievements, but also helped the young man unload the heaviest burden in his heart.

From then on, David was able to focus more intently on his subsequent studies.

Afterwards, Chen Yu went to the testing area of ​​the workshop.

Lucy was waiting beside a sturdy quadruped machine.

This mechanical construct, which is about 1.5 meters tall, uses a reverse joint design, and its four mechanical legs ensure stability on various terrains.

Equipped with a 12.7mm heavy machine gun on each side of the torso, the sensor array in front flashes a faint light in standby mode, and the overall design reveals a practical philosophy.

Upon seeing Chen Yu arrive, Lucy immediately started the testing program.

With the smooth sound of the hydraulic system running, the machine smoothly transitioned from standby mode to standing posture, moving its four legs in a coordinated manner on the ground, completing a test route with continuous and stable movements.

Then, under Lucy's commands via the data panel, it completed basic tactical maneuvers such as target locking and weapon system preparation.

“My lord, this quadrupedal autonomous combat unit is based on the architecture of Arasaka and military technology security robots in the database, and incorporates the core principles of standard intelligent mechs.” Lucy calmly reported, “It is fully electric driven, the armor uses composite ceramic and alloy materials, and the fire control system has been simplified, with basic friend-or-foe identification and target acquisition functions.”

Chen Yu's sensors meticulously scanned every detail of the mech soldier.

The design did indeed draw on mature solutions from local companies, especially in the walking mechanism and sensor layout. However, the energy core, control system, and weapon modules strictly adhered to the basic specifications of the mechanical training and intelligent control mech.

Although the entire machine does not have any particularly outstanding innovations, every component has met the qualification standards and fully satisfies the assessment requirement of "being able to operate normally and execute instructions".

"The design is reasonable, the structure is complete, and the operation is stable," Chen Yu commented. "It meets the entry-level standards for intelligent mechs. The assessment is passed."

Lucy breathed a soft sigh of relief, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Understood, Sage."

For Lucy's current development goal—to become a future "CNC craftsman" apprentice—understanding and integrating existing technologies to create a fully functional and practical mech has already achieved her expected objective. This proves that she possesses the basic ability to combine theoretical knowledge with practical operation, while also demonstrating an engineering mindset that adheres to standards and emphasizes stability.

Both apprentices successfully passed this crucial practical assessment using their own different methods.

David demonstrated his application skills and responsible attitude in the biomedical field, while Lucy showcased her basic practical skills in mechanical manufacturing and control systems.

Chen Yu entered the assessment results into their personal files, which marked that the two apprentices had successfully completed the initial learning stage and could begin to explore a more in-depth and professional knowledge system.

After finishing his business in Night City, Chen Yu found Marna deep inside the workshop.

The blond nobleman was standing next to his knight mech, holding a data panel and checking the maintenance records.

"The Death World base has recently been attacked several times." Chen Yu got straight to the point, his dark red mechanical body gleaming metallically under the workshop lights. "Although the threat has been eliminated, our defenses need to be strengthened."

I plan to transfer one mech from the Nearl family's knight squad for defense.

Marner put down the data panel, his eyes narrowing slightly.

He pondered for a moment, then tapped his finger lightly on the data panel: "Have Zofia lead the team back. She is experienced and skilled in defensive operations. Add four attendant mechs and the corresponding logistical supplies, and we can both strengthen the defense and maintain a complete tactical unit."

This proposal was more comprehensive than Chen Yu had originally envisioned.

He nodded slightly: "Okay. Tell Zofia that her mission is to assist Marshal Anvil-7 in strengthening the base's defenses, especially the security of the Canyon Experiment Zone."

“Understood.” Marna immediately turned around and began transmitting instructions through the encrypted channel.

Not far away, Zofia, who was repairing her mech, received the message and immediately gave a standard knightly salute in the direction of Chen Yu before gathering her team.

At the same time, Chen Yu gave David and Lucy the instructions to prepare.

The two young men had just passed the assessment and were now receiving a new task. They immediately began to organize their equipment and materials.

David transferred his mother to the best hospital in Night City and specifically asked the administrators to help take care of her, while Lucy packed her newly created intelligent mech into a transport container.

Mann's squad also completed its assembly in the shortest possible time.

Dorio inspected the team's weapons and equipment, Rebecca excitedly wiped down her heavy firearms, and Pila did a final check of the various strange electronic devices. They were now used to these sudden cross-dimensional mobilizations.

In front of the dimensional teleporter in the core area of ​​the workshop, Chen Yu made a final confirmation of all the parameters.

Zofia and her four attendant mechs had already lined up, their silver-gray armor gleaming coldly in the energy fluctuations.

"Teleportation program initiated." Chen Yu's synthesized voice echoed in the space.

The azure dimensional rift unfolded once more, and the desolate landscape of the dead world could be vaguely seen amidst the distorted light and shadow.

Zofia's knight mech was the first to step into the rift, followed closely by four attendant mechs.

Next up was Mann's team, whose members skillfully lined up and entered.

David and Lucy exchanged a glance, took a deep breath, and resolutely stepped through the doorway where light and shadow intertwined.

Chen Yu was the last to pass through the rift. After his massive mechanical body was completely submerged, the dimensional portal slowly closed, and the workshop returned to calm.

Upon returning to the Death World base, Chen Yu immediately began arranging the follow-up matters.

He had Ignis lead Zofia's team to familiarize themselves with the base's defensive layout, while ordering Mann's team to begin preparing for a new dimension exploration mission.
