Sigismund did not linger. The revelations in the canyon and the secrets Osiris divulged were too significant; any method of transmission, whether through the Adeptus Astra Telepathica or via messenger, seemed fraught with uncertainty and the risk of leaks in his eyes.
He had to return personally to meet his genetic father face-to-face, ensuring the information was not distorted or intercepted during transmission, and to observe Dorn's most genuine reaction immediately.
The Black Templars' shuttle quickly ascended, transforming into a shooting star that vanished into the sky, speeding towards the Mandeville Point on the outskirts of the star system, where his flagship awaited him.
After seeing Sigismund off, Osiris immediately took action.
Meeting a Primarch, especially Rogal Dorn, known for his rigor and pragmatism, could not rely solely on vague promises and unverified theories.
He needed to present tangible, demonstrable interim results that could visually showcase the technology's potential and feasibility.
He first returned to the canyon laboratory and retrieved all data records from the genesis particle experiment.
He needed to organize a clear demonstration process: from the original harsh environmental parameters of the Death World, to the rapid restructuring of geological features and atmospheric composition after the genesis particle activation, and then to the swift development and subsequent adaptive evolution of the ecosystem after the 'Life Seeding Matrix' was initiated.
He specifically highlighted data from biological samples that stubbornly survived in harsh environments and exhibited unique evolutionary paths, proving that this technology did not create hothouse flowers but could foster ecosystems with true survival capabilities.
At the same time, he ordered the Tech-Priests to accelerate the assembly of a mobile, small-scale genesis particle demonstration device.
This device would not need to transform the entire canyon but must be able to complete an accelerated creation process from inorganic matter to simple life forms in a confined indoor environment, in front of Dorn.
This would be the most convincing visual evidence.
As for the Warp Drive, Osiris' original plan was more cautious.
He envisioned waiting until his flagship was completed, with the Warp Drive actually installed and initially tested, before finding a suitable opportunity to present this epoch-making technology to Rogal Dorn.
At that time, a reliable, physical product capable of demonstration would be more convincing than any blueprint or theory.
Sigismund's sudden visit undoubtedly disrupted his pace.
But this was not entirely unexpected.
In fact, ever since the Astoria Family's knights arrived at the Death World earlier than anticipated in response to the summons, Osiris had vaguely felt an invisible hand behind the scenes, pushing events faster than his initial estimates.
Sigismund's appearance might also be one manifestation of this driving force.
Osiris could not determine if this stemmed from the will of an unspeakable entity or was merely a coincidence.
But he knew very well that his options were limited at this moment.
Refusing this opportunity might mean missing a valuable chance to meet a Primarch directly, and could even cause unnecessary trouble.
He had to seize this opportunity, even if preparations were not fully complete.
However, without a physical ship as a foundation, how to prove the feasibility of the Warp Drive to Dorn became a challenge.
Theoretical data and simulated analyses were important, but for such a revolutionary technology, the lack of physical proof would always seem less convincing.
After careful consideration, Osiris decided to employ a technology he had originally planned to handle more cautiously, one he had just brought back from the Star Trek world—"Automated Repair Technology."
He planned to use this technology, combined with the existing resources of the Forge World, to urgently construct a small, fully functional Warp Drive core demonstration unit within the Death World Base.
This unit would not need to be capable of propelling an entire warship, but its core principles, energy circulation, and most crucially, the space-warping effect, had to be real and observable.
With "Automated Repair Technology," he could significantly shorten the construction and debugging cycle and ensure the stable operation of this precise device during the demonstration.
This was undoubtedly a gamble; prematurely revealing another key technology carried risks, but to earn the Primarch's trust, he had to produce sufficiently weighty evidence.
He strictly encrypted the organized genesis particle experiment data, the Iron Guard project brief, and the preliminary Warp Drive theoretical framework.
At the same time, he issued directives, mobilizing all available resources in the base to fully commit to the construction of that small Warp core.
This was a race against time; he had to complete this demonstration piece, capable of changing the future of the Imperium, before Sigismund returned with Dorn's reply.
The core of the Automated Repair Technology Osiris possessed lay in molecular-level material restructuring.
As long as sufficient basic materials, energy, and precise design blueprints were provided, this system could, like the most precise printer, directly "weave" raw materials into the preset complex structure, eliminating the tedious processing, assembly, and debugging steps of traditional manufacturing.
In his database, he not only had complete information on this technology but, more importantly, the full blueprints for a Level Eight Warp Engine from the Star Trek world.
Theoretically, as long as the Automated Repair System was successfully replicated and energy supply ensured, he could directly "print" a complete Warp Drive, or even an entire starship, potentially surpassing the Imperium's current technological level.
But at present, he had neither enough time nor the necessity to build a complete Federation starship.
His goal was very clear: a stable, proportionally scaled-down engine core capable of demonstrating the feasibility of warp travel to Rogal Dorn.
Deep within the Death World Base, in a laboratory chamber designated as a maximum security area, Osiris activated the core of the initially constructed Automated Repair System.
Several large material storage tanks were connected to the system via pipelines, filled with pre-refined metals, crystals, and other composite materials.
Huge energy conduits connected directly from the base's main reactor, emitting a low hum.
Osiris extracted the key parts of the Level Eight Warp Engine blueprints concerning the core reaction section, the warp coil matrix, and the energy guidance paths, setting output ratios and priorities.
He chose not to manufacture complete thruster assemblies and hull interfaces but focused on replicating the most crucial, core component capable of generating a warp field.
"Initiate material recombination sequence," Osiris commanded.
The Automated Repair System emitted a soft whirring sound, and the raw materials from the storage tanks were drawn into the system.
At the invisible microscopic level, powerful energy fields guided molecules through extremely precise disassembly and reconstruction.
In the center of the experimental chamber, complex metal structures began to "grow" at a visible rate: precise coils, crystal conduits shimmering with an unusual luster, intricate energy circuits...
They were not welded or assembled but, like natural growth, started from a single point, rapidly extended, took shape, and gradually formed a Warp Drive core model that, though scaled down, was structurally complete.
