As soon as the laboratory door opened, Chang Wei asked Steadman who was working, with a casual look on his face, like a cowboy in overalls.
"Have we made any progress on the creation of the Xel'Naga Artifact Keystone? What's the current progress?"
Steadman tapped the data panel in his hand, and a data model of the keystone appeared between the two of them. It was a long cube composed of three fragments, filled with energy and unknown patterns, appearing mysterious.
"Sir, the Keystone is very technologically advanced. Even though we have its manufacturing drawings and detailed technical specifications, we've been experimenting for a long time and haven't found any materials that meet its requirements."
"In the end, we had to settle for the next best thing. We split it into three parts, manufactured them separately, and reassembled them later. While it's still usable, its stability will be significantly affected. It will likely significantly reduce the keystone's charging speed and the effectiveness and range of its energy release."
Chang Wei took the data panel and looked at it carefully for a few seconds before suggesting, "Can we mass-produce it? If the quality isn't good enough, we can make up for it with quantity. We can combine and arrange a large number of key stones together to form a resonance matrix, thereby expanding its range of influence and energy level intensity."
Steadman, looking embarrassed, replied, "That... might be a bit difficult. Currently, we can only rely on the high-precision instruments in the laboratory and expend considerable observation time to complete the manufacture and assembly of a single keystone. And if we want to mass-produce it, we must build a dedicated production workshop with a technological level no lower than Level 6 civilization. This involves extensive use of technologies like dimensional writing and space-time etching. Furthermore, the material's physical strength and psionic resistance are also significant issues. At least the standard crankshaft under one Planck time must be no less than PS6.5."
Well, Chang Wei said he didn't understand at all, but just pretended to understand. It seemed like scientific matters had to be left to the scientists. What was a layman like me saying, giving orders blindly?
Afterwards, Chang Wei gave Steadman a few words of encouragement and was about to leave. Suddenly, something unexpected happened. One of Steadman's scientific assistants ran over and told him to go to Lab 3 immediately.
Chang Wei had nothing to do now, so he followed out of curiosity.
When we arrived at Laboratory No. 3, there was already a group of scientists busy at work. They were observing and recording the dazzling data on the instruments, and they seemed to be very serious!
Chang Wei couldn't understand or recognize any of these high-end instruments, and he was just there to join in the fun. But soon, his eyes were drawn to the blond beauty lying on the operating table in the glass window of the laboratory, her body twitching continuously.
"Isn't this the time traveler Alice? What's wrong with her? Her waist is arched so high, moving up and down. Is she having a seizure?"
Steadman glanced at the information report handed over by his assistant, then replied to Chang Wei.
"Following your instructions, Commander, we conducted a comprehensive examination of Miss Alice's mind and body. Aside from a slight genetic mutation, indicating she's not a pure-blooded human, she's actually quite healthy. There aren't any major mental or psychological issues, except for her EEG readings, which are somewhat abnormal. In particular, during sleep, her EEG readings peak, indicating abnormal activity in her cerebral cortex."
Chang Wei raised his chin and looked at Alice in the glass window.
"You mean...she's dreaming? And maybe it's a very real dream?"
Steadman frowned and explained, "It's not that simple. We discovered that Miss Alice's abnormal behavior began when she left Terra. Since then, her condition has become increasingly serious, her mental state has deteriorated rapidly, and she is now in a coma, with only some unconscious nerve reactions in her body. It's as if she encountered something terrifying in a dream and is struggling to escape it. At the moment, we are completely helpless."
Chang Wei looked at Alice in the glass window, who was twitching and making all kinds of weird leg movements as if she was possessed by a ghost or was bewitched. He expressed his sincere sympathy for her!
Wait! Possessed?
If even science can't find the reason, then isn't it just being possessed by evil spirits?
Chang Wei suddenly thought of a question. This is the Warhammer 40K universe! There really are people who believe in exorcism and demons!
If the idealistic power of the subspace has corrupted Alice, then this is really possible!
First, Alice is a time traveler. And a soul traveler! Perhaps her soul has merged with or replaced her original body, ultimately binding her to this world. This would create a projection of her soul within the Warp. Furthermore, as a time traveler, she knows of the Warp and the Four Evil Gods, so naturally, she would attract the attention of the Warp's evil gods.
Oh shit!
Could this guy be targeted by Slaanesh?
Chang Wei swallowed, admitting to being tempted by his own perverse thoughts. In fact, in the world of Warhammer 40,000, Slaanesh was the most potent corrupter of time travelers. The reason? Those who understand will understand!
But if you think being corrupted by Slaanesh will make you feel great, then you are totally wrong! Slaanesh, the important thing is not the lust, but the evil!
The same is true for the other evil gods: Khorne is in the destruction, not in the fear. Nurgle is in the grime, not in the Nurgle.
If Slaanesh were to capture Alice, she'd be in for a fate worse than death. It's best to save her before her mind is broken. After all... we're from the same hometown.
Alice was currently trapped in a nightmare, unable to escape. If this continued, she might suffer a mental breakdown or even annihilation at any moment.
Chang Wei slowly drew out the "Emperor's Sword" and had already made up his mind.
Idealistic things and forces will be significantly weakened upon entering the real universe. Conversely, the materialistic technology and power of the real universe will also be weakened upon entering the Warp. Is this why the other party corrupts through dreams? This means that the little brother's strength is not enough! It may not be Slaanesh himself who is responsible, but a low-level demon. However, this is also a chance to save Alice!
Open the door! I want to go in and exorcise her!
When it comes to exorcism, who in Warhammer 40K can compare to the Emperor?
Look at me, holding a three-foot-long sword, I’m determined to win this battle! Hehehehehe!
