Warhammer: Rebuilding the Golden Age Starting with Farming

Chapter 125 Thermal Gradient Coils

[Gravitational wave interference hot base station].

The name sounds long, but the principle is actually very straightforward.

The dimensional barrier of the space necromancer relies on gravitational wave beacons to anchor its real-world coordinates.

If one wants to force their way in without breaking the barrier, and to open the gate when the beacon malfunctions, a device is needed that can generate reverse gravitational waves and create a local gravitational lensing effect.

Hot base stations are for this purpose.

It utilizes extreme thermal differences to distort spatial structures at the microscopic level, thereby creating an artificial gravitational wave interference field.

I understand the principle, and I have the blueprints.

But Andy got stuck on hardware manufacturing.

The core component of this base station is called a thermal gradient coil.

The structure of this thing is extremely bizarre.

It is not made of ordinary copper wire or superconducting coils. It requires the construction of thousands of layers of composite coil structures with different materials and thermal conductivity within an extremely small volume.

The spacing between each layer of coils must be controlled at the nanometer level.

Furthermore, in order to withstand extreme temperature differences during operation, the coil material must possess extremely high thermal stability and fatigue resistance.

Andy glanced at the schedule of the precision machining center.

If we were to use current equipment to forcibly twist this coil, the yield rate would probably only be around 25%.

In other words, in order to make this one qualified coil, he would have to waste tens of tons of high-grade alloy and occupy a whole week's worth of the machining center's production capacity!

That's such a loss!

Andy is an efficiency-conscious man; he won't do something that loses money.

Since the direct approach is not working, we have to think of some unorthodox methods!

Andy closed the machining center's schedule and opened Deep Space Industries' inventory list.

His eyes swept quickly across the densely packed entries.

He was looking for a high-tech component that could generate a strong force field, had a precise structure, and preferably was readily available.

Finally, his gaze fell on an entry marked "idle/temporarily stored".

[Hrud time entropy increase generator (damaged)]

Huh!

I told you so!

The spoils he stole from Kaka's underground vault when he led his men to raid Kaka's hideout.

At the time, Andy had high hopes for this thing.

Tests were conducted in the laboratory of the "New Bang".

This distorted, alien machine generates an invisible "entropy increase field" when activated.

Place a brand-new steel plate inside, and within minutes, the plate will be covered in rust, as if it had undergone hundreds of years of weathering.

At the time, Andy was thinking that he could use it to accelerate the fermentation of high-energy fuels and process alloys that require natural aging.

As it turns out, plans can't keep up with changes.

Deep Space Industries recently made a fortune, dismantling four land-based ships and filling warehouses with special alloys, even those refined by the reconfiguration device.

There are plenty of readily available materials, so there is no need to use this "time-accelerating" method to catalyze materials.

As for fuel, the output from geothermal wells and reactors is more than sufficient.

Thus, this farming marvel, which was originally highly anticipated, has been left to gather dust in a corner of Warehouse No. 4 ever since it was transported back to Horisonburg.

But now, its opportunity has arrived.

Andy pulled up the analysis report on Herud Technologies.

At the fundamental level of physics, time and space are bound together, and gravitational fields and time fields are also interconnected.

The reason why the Hruds' machine can create an entropy-increasing field is that it uses a high-energy field generator to distort the spacetime structure in a local area.

If one can warp spacetime, then one can naturally interfere with gravity.

Its core component, an array of coils capable of generating high-energy fields, is physically and functionally what Andy needs.

The thermal gradient coil bears a striking resemblance to the "thermal gradient coil".

It could even be said that the Hruds' coils are a bit more advanced than the standard STC version.

After all, they specialize in this.

"It's time to make use of waste."

97

Andy stood up and issued the command directly through the data link.

"Engineering drone, to warehouse number 4."

"Move that big thing covered with the blue cloth to the East District."

Ten minutes later.

Horisonburg Underground East District, Alien Technology Analysis Station.

A huge black circular platform stood silently in the center of the hall, connected to the newly revived miniature Geller force field generator.

Several heavy-duty engineering drones, carrying the "Hrud Time Entropy Increase Generator," slowly landed on the circular platform.

This thing does have a very unique shape.

It has no straight lines and is made entirely of some kind of black bio-metal with tiny holes. Its shape looks like an infinity symbol that has been twisted countless times.

Even when it is powered off, it is surrounded by an unsettling force field fluctuation, and people who get close to it will feel inexplicable palpitations and dizziness.

-

Perhaps it was a physiological reaction caused by uneven time flow? Andy wasn't quite sure either.

Andy stood in front of the console and started the parsing program.

"Buzz"

Black nanofluid gushed from the surface of the frustum.

These tiny robots seemed to hesitate for a moment when they came into contact with the Hrud device.

Clearly, that entropy-increasing force field also affects them.

However, the alien device's self-defense mechanism quickly failed under the suppression of the Geller force field.

The nanofluid surged forward, instantly enveloping the entire machine.

Data began to refresh rapidly on the holographic screen.

[Sample identification: Hruder entropy increase field generator (74% completeness).]

[Material composition: spacetime crystal, biometal, high-energy magnetic field coil.]

[Analysis in progress————]

The progress bar is moving very fast.

Although the principle behind this thing is profound, its structure is not too complicated.

A few minutes later, the parsing was completed, and the system provided conversion options.

Option 1: Entropy-increasing ray emitter (a heavy weapon for individual soldiers, causing rapid aging of targets).

Andy skipped over it.

He's already at his peak firepower; he doesn't need these fancy ways of killing.

Option 2: Local Time Freeze Field (requires continuous consumption of a large amount of high-energy crystals).

This sounds good, but it's for saving lives later. There aren't enough crystals to burn now.

Andy turned his attention to the third option.

Option 3: High-energy gravitational field generating coil (core component).

[Note: The spacetime crystal and magnetic field coils inside the device are extracted and reassembled into a standard gravitational wave interferometer.]

Match rate: 98%.

"It's you."

Andy pressed the confirm button.

The black fluid on the circular platform began to churn violently.

They are dismantling that complex time machine, removing the biological components used to generate entropy, and keeping only the core field generator.

The originally distorted black shell was decomposed and restored to basic biometal raw materials.

The spacetime crystals that emitted a faint glow inside were carefully peeled out and then rearranged according to a completely new geometric structure.

The coil is straightened and then rewound.

The direction of every wire and the position of every crystal are precisely calculated by STC.

About twenty minutes later.

The black fluid slowly receded and shrank back into the truncated cone.

The huge, evil-looking Hrud machine that used to be there is gone.

Instead, there was a set of sophisticated components suspended in mid-air, emitting a faint dark red glow.

It consists of three concentric rings, the surface of which is engraved with intricate energy channels, and red light flows in the channels, as if it were living blood.

At the center of the ring, a black crystal cut into a regular dodecahedron is suspended.

This is the "thermal gradient coil" that Andy has always dreamed of, and it's an enhanced version that has been modified by alien technology.

Andy could even sense it.

Around this component, gravity has undergone subtle changes!
