Warhammer: The Time Traveler

Chapter 114 Dorio's New Equipment (Sixth Update)

After careful consideration, Chen Yu made the following arrangements.

First, he decided to strictly control information regarding his departure.

The fewer people who know, the lower the risk of leaks and uncontrollable variables. He only needs to inform his agent of the most basic information.

He summoned Mowell.

The mechanical tentacles handed her a data panel listing the core instructions given during his absence.

“I am about to conduct a crucial closed experiment,” Chen Yu’s voice was calm and normal, without any abnormality. “The experiment may last for several weeks or even longer.”

During this period, the workshop will be completely closed, and any unauthorized personnel are prohibited from entering or disturbing it.

Your primary task is to guard the workshop entrance and maintain the highest level of security. Anyone attempting to force their way in should be eliminated immediately, without warning.

“Understood, Master.” Mower responded without hesitation; her system had already recorded this absolutely priority instruction.

"Secondly, the Mann team is free to operate independently during this period. They can take on missions and gather resources on their own, but they cannot provoke large companies in my name unless the other party attacks first."

In the event of a major crisis that they cannot handle independently, you may assess the situation and provide limited support, provided that the workshop's safety is ensured. The specific extent of support will be determined by you based on the circumstances on-site.

“It’s been recorded. I will monitor their movements.” Mowell nodded.

"Finally, maintain surveillance of all factions in Night City, especially the company's movements. Record and archive all unusual activity according to standard procedures. In case of emergency, you may try to contact them through the reserved secondary communication links, but do not expect to interrupt my experiments except in extreme circumstances."

“Yes, Master. Your will shall be carried out.” Moir bowed deeply, indicating that he fully understood and accepted the task.

Chen Yu was satisfied with Mowell's reaction; her loyalty had been tested, and her abilities and judgment were sufficient to handle most conventional threats.

Her presence at the workshop would serve as an effective deterrent.

Keeping Mann's squad active will maintain their presence on the streets and their intelligence sources, while also preventing them from developing unnecessary ideas due to idleness or becoming overly reliant on the workshop's protection.

After dealing with these matters, Chen Yu's attention returned to the equipment that had just been completed.

He informed Mann to have Dorio come to the workshop to receive the custom-made weapon.

Soon after, Dorio arrived at the workshop accompanied by Mann.

Chen Yu pointed to a support frame on one side of the workshop—where a set of heavily modified combat equipment stood.

Its foundation was the "Centaur" type tactical exoskeleton platform acquired through a military technology transaction, but it is now completely unrecognizable.

The skeleton, which originally only had lower limb assist function, was comprehensively strengthened and expanded, forming a metal frame covering the main parts of the body.

The frame structure is robust, and the joints are designed for heavy loads, clearly to withstand enormous force output.

A compact, high-output energy core is integrated on the back to power the entire system.

The exoskeleton is fitted with heavy composite armor plates, mainly covering the torso, shoulders, and key areas of the limbs.

The armor plates have a dark metallic luster and a rough surface finish, with a distinctly utilitarian style, but their materials and angles have been precisely calculated to provide optimal protection.

The most striking feature is the weapon mounted on both arms.

Those were two intricately designed and enormous power gloves. The gloves themselves were cast from a high-strength alloy, with unusually large knuckles, and integrated with a complex transmission mechanism and energy conduits.

The surface of the boxing gloves faintly reveals subtle energy patterns, like dormant blood vessels, hinting at the dangerous power contained within.

"This equipment is based on the 'centaur' exoskeleton and has been comprehensively enhanced and functionally integrated," Chen Yu began to explain, his tone as if introducing a precision instrument. "It is now closer to a simple power armor, providing the user with significant strength enhancement and basic protection."

His mechanical finger pointed to the pair of powered gauntlets: "The main attack unit is these powered gauntlets. They are not simple physical impact weapons. The integrated high-frequency vibration generator can transfer destructive energy to the target's internal structure upon impact."

At the same time, they possess the ability to release energy instantaneously, generating a forward shockwave at the point of attack, further enhancing the destructive effect.

He paused briefly before adding the most crucial technical detail: "Furthermore, I added a localized decomposition force field to the striking surface of the glove. When the glove hits the target with sufficient kinetic energy, the force field will be activated, producing a molecular-level decomposition effect on the impact area."

Chen Yu did not explain the specific origin and principle of this technology in detail, but it was undoubtedly a technological creation from the Warhammer universe that transcended the understanding of this world.

"Put them on and conduct basic adaptability tests," Chen Yu ordered. "I need to collect performance data under real combat conditions."

Dorio looked at the powerful-looking equipment, a burning desire flashing in her eyes.

With Mann's help, she began to put on the heavy power armor.

When the system started and the energy core emitted a deep hum, she could clearly feel an unprecedented sense of power surging from the core in her back, filling her limbs and bones.

Under Chen Yu's instructions, Dorio conducted simple motion adaptation and strength tests in the designated testing area within the workshop.

She swung her fists, creating a whistling sound, and when she struck the heavy metal target used for testing, the sound was no longer a dull thud, but rather accompanied by a slight hum of energy. The target material shattered instantly, and some areas even showed abnormal disintegration, as if eroded by an invisible force, creating a terrifying effect.

Even the enhanced Dorio needed to get used to this sudden increase in destructive power.

Mann watched from the side, his face showing both relief at his teammate acquiring a powerful weapon and a hint of undisguised seriousness.

The skills the boss casually pulls out are constantly pushing the boundaries of their understanding of "power".

Chen Yu calmly recorded various data: energy output stability, gauntlet impact force, decomposition force field activation threshold, reaction force on the user, system continuous operation time...

All of this data will be used for subsequent equipment optimization and may also provide a reference for the design of other types of melee weapons.

After the test was completed, Chen Yu expressed his approval of the data results.

"The design has largely met expectations. Continue to gather more user feedback during actual missions. You may now return to base. The workshop will undergo a major upgrade soon; stay away unless summoned."

Mann and Dorio left the workshop with their new equipment and clear instructions.

They knew that what the boss called a "major upgrade" often meant another big move was coming, and what they needed to do was to stay on standby and use this time to consolidate their new strength.

The workshop returned to silence.

Chen Yu walked to the main control panel of the dimension teleporter and began to input a series of complex coordinate parameters and energy calibration commands.

He needs to perform precise warm-up and calculations for this long-distance teleportation back to the Warhammer world.

The crimson optical lens was locked on the jumping energy readings, and all external distractions and trivial matters were temporarily eliminated.

The next step is to return to the world of forging, formally obtain the position of sage, and use this as a foundation to begin the new phase of his plan.
