Warhammer: The Time Traveler

Chapter 451 New Seeds (Eighth Update)

“Sage,” Red asked calmly through the built-in communicator, “does my physiology meet your…expectations?”

Chen Yu's mechanical tentacles paused briefly before resuming their work.

“Your very existence is a detailed feasibility report and a roadmap for future technologies.” His synthesized voice remained steady, but the amount of information it contained was immense: “It validates several technological paths that are currently in the theoretical or preliminary experimental stages.”

In particular, the controllable synergy between gene seeds and psionic potential provides a clear direction for resolving the current problem of the Imperial Fist's rapid conscription, and even for the future development of all Astartes orders.

He pulled up a set of comparative data, displaying Reid's gene seed activity map alongside the current standard template and several experimental templates he was trying to optimize.

Red's map exhibits a remarkable degree of coordination and stability, with energy resonance and signal transmission efficiency between various organ modules far exceeding existing standards.

“Optimization is not a simple enhancement, but a systemic rebalancing,” Chen Yu summarized, as if speaking to Red, or as if recording in his own research log. “Your body proves that, within the framework of the Emperor’s design, through precise intervention, the potential of the Astartes has not been fully explored.”

The test lasted for several hours.

The mechanical tentacles retracted smoothly from the bio-interface connected to Brother Red, emitting a faint hydraulic sound.

The data stream slows down from each sensor terminal and eventually converges into the main Thinker array for final archiving and verification.

"Test complete." Chen Yu's synthesized voice rang out in the air filled with ozone and faint biological pheromones, steady and normal. "Your physiological state is stable, all optimization modules are running well, and no functional decline or abnormal fluctuations have been observed."

The 'future' you represent is technologically robust and efficient.

Reid sat up from the analysis platform and began reassembling the removed power armor components, the ceramic plates clicking steadily in his hands.

“It is my honor to provide reference for your current research, Your Excellency. The Black Sanctuary, and all future Astartes, have benefited from your grace.” He sincerely expressed his gratitude to Chen Yu. Every Astartes held considerable respect for this legendary sage from history.

Chen Yu did not respond to this gratitude. His focus had quickly shifted to the next phase.

The greatest value of Reid's existence lies not in being a powerful individual, but in being a living, future-oriented database and a successful technology verification platform.

Directly replicating future technologies is dangerous and irresponsible; the continuity of spacetime itself may contain unknown rejection reactions.

What he needs is to analyze the underlying logic of its success and transform it into a solution that is in line with current realities, understandable, and implementable in stages.

His mechanical body turned toward the main control panel, and the crimson optical lens locked onto the massive amount of data about the Red gene seed that had just been acquired.

This data, along with the standard template of the Imperial Fist gene seed stored in his database and the relatively pure genetic material sample that Roger Dorn previously provided to treat the Expeditionary Forces, forms three key coordinates.

A new, more fundamental plan was beginning to take shape within his logical matrix.

Continuing to patch up the potential of conscripted genetic seeds that have been damaged by historical issues is inefficient and has its limits.

He needs to innovate from the ground up—cultivating entirely new, optimized Imperial Fist genetic seeds.

He brought up the command interface and began compiling a brand-new draft plan, titled: "Protocol for Systematic Optimization and Endogenous Modification of Gene Seeds (First Draft)".

The core of the plan consists of three parts.

The first part involves upgrading the raw materials and templates. He plans to formally apply to Roger Dorn to use the genetic material provided by the protogenes as the core breeding base.

This ensures the purity of the source of new seeds, minimizing the minute variations and impurities that may accumulate over thousands of years.

He then used Reid's optimized gene seed template as a reference, instead of directly copying his gene sequence—which could trigger unpredictable rejection—he analyzed systematic indicators such as expression patterns, organ synergy parameters, and energy circuit efficiency.

The second part is to implement "fine-tuning" and "collaborative optimization".

This is not about adding a twentieth surgery or deleting an existing procedure.

Its focus is on recalibrating the interactions between the existing nineteen implanted organs.

Chen Yu brought up the complex biological network model and began inputting preliminary adjustment parameters.

He first focused on enhancing the efficiency of nerve signal transmission between the black carapace and bones, strengthening organs, and nerve ganglia.

Its core objective is to reduce signal transmission delay, thereby directly improving the warrior's control precision over power armor and the speed of analyzing environmental chemical information.

He then set about optimizing the working mechanism of the second heart and the Lariman organ.

This measure aims to ensure that the blood supply and coagulation process can achieve a higher level of synchronization and overall efficiency when the body faces extreme physical exertion or severe trauma.

At the same time, he reset the activation threshold and neural connections of Beon's salivary glands.

Adjusting the direction allows its secretory behavior to more accurately match the soldier's stress response and specific tactical intentions, thereby avoiding ineffective resource consumption or delays in activation at critical moments.

In addition, the intrinsic connection between the meninges of the suan meninges and various hormone-secreting glands was also included in the scope of the adjustment.

Through precise calibration, it is ensured that when soldiers need to enter a state of protective suspended animation, their internal environment can reach the preset physiological pause indicators more stably and quickly, and reserve more sufficient bioenergy reserves for the subsequent safe recovery process.

These adjustments may seem minor, but their goal is to eliminate potential internal friction and redundancy in the Imperial Fist's existing gene seed system, integrating the nineteen independent enhancement modules into a super biological system that is more like an organic whole and has less operational resistance.

The third part, which is also the boldest and closest to Ms. Astartes' original conception, is to achieve "endogenous organ development".

Chen Yu plans to redesign the core induction program of the gene seed so that, after successful implantation into selected recipients, it can not only integrate and strengthen the host's genes, but also serve as a complete biological blueprint and "instruction core" to guide the cells in the host's body to autonomously "grow" all nineteen implanted organs from scratch, following a preset and optimized path.

This will be a complete paradigm shift.

It will abandon the cumbersome and high-risk model currently used by most military units, which involves "culturing organs in vitro and then implanting them one by one through multiple complex surgical procedures".

This new model will significantly reduce surgical failure rates, rejection reactions, and long-term adaptive complications, achieving a higher degree of biocompatibility and system stability.

Just like the unique and superior, almost miraculous transformation process of the Holy Blood Angels Legion, but this will be achieved through understandable and reproducible technological means.
