The complete repair of the STC system marks a qualitative leap in Osiris' research capabilities.
This complete technological treasure trove, originating from humanity's dark age of technology, is far more valuable than any previously acquired scattered technologies or templates.
After confirming that the system was running stably and that the enhanced security robot provided near-absolute protection, Osiris did not bask in the satisfaction of his gains. His core logic immediately shifted to the efficient mining of this endless mine of knowledge.
He has a clear goal and a hypothesis that needs to be verified, and the STC database is the optimal path to answer all of these questions.
His mechanical tentacles connected to the main control panel, and his consciousness directly intersected with the vast flow of data.
The search command was issued in binary code with a clear objective: to find a specific technological system called "cloning brocade".
Based on his memories before and the information he collected after his time travel, this technology was not a simple cloning or replication, but one of the pinnacle creations in the field of human biology during the Dark Ages of Technology.
It was widely used during the glorious period of human expansion towards the center of the Milky Way. The descendants of the Silver Heart mining teams, known as the "Space Dwarfs," relied on this technology to maintain the reproduction and stability of their race in an extreme environment far from the main human star system.
Osiris knew that the essence of cloned brocade lay in its transcendence of basic gene replication.
It is able to actively maintain and simulate species diversity under natural reproduction through an extremely complex set of gene editing and recombination algorithms during the process of creating new individuals.
This means that even after thousands of generations of cloning, the population will not degenerate or become vulnerable to specific diseases due to genetic homogenization.
This solves the fundamental biological dilemma caused by long-term cloning.
Moreover, this technology has demonstrated near-miraculous abilities in shaping individuals.
Its gene editing program can systematically enhance the basic physiological structure of the receptor: giving it a denser bone matrix, a more efficient and stronger muscle fiber structure, and significantly improved red blood cell oxygen-carrying capacity and white blood cell immune activity.
The result is the creation of enhanced individuals with superhuman physical strength, endurance, and regenerative abilities.
What interests Osiris even more is that the cloning brocade involves a deeper level of intervention in the essence of life—it can subtly adjust the connection between an individual and the subspace, reduce the brightness of its "projection" in the subspace, and make the soul appear "dimmer" and less noticeable in the waves of the subspace.
Or rather, they are not so easily preyed upon by beings in the warp.
This characteristic has immeasurable strategic value for survival in galaxies filled with hostile subspace phenomena.
The most crucial aspect, and the one that best aligns with Osiris' current research path, is the reversible application that this technology holds.
Since it is possible to reduce subspace projection, theoretically it is also possible to "awaken" or enhance an individual's psionic potential through reverse manipulation or specific modulation, while ensuring stability, thereby producing psionic beings.
The retrieval process proceeds rapidly through the vast database, filtering massive amounts of information.
Within Osiris' processor core, a piece of long-forgotten memory data flashed by.
Before he traveled here and integrated into this era, he knew of the existence and value of this technology during the distant Great Expedition.
He once envisioned guiding Imperial forces deep into the heart of the galaxy to find the isolated space dwarves, targeting their two technological treasures: the "Ancestral Core" that sustains their society, and the "Cloning Tapestry" that can create perfect bodies.
To this end, he even mobilized the Night Lords Legion, known for their brutal interrogations, and commissioned them to capture hundreds of Hearthborn members operating within the Empire's territory in an attempt to pry them open and obtain the secret path to the Silver Heart.
However, even under the Midnight Lord's chilling interrogation methods, these stubborn dwarves did not reveal a single accurate piece of information about the Path to the Silver Heart, causing his ambitious plan to ultimately falter and become an unfinished exploration.
Now, with the complete STC system in hand, the technology that was once sought after but could not be obtained is within reach, and can be retrieved, analyzed, and applied at any time.
This cyclical cause and effect, where one loses on one front but gains on another, stirred a subtle fluctuation in his logical thinking, almost like a sigh.
The planned path may be blocked, but the pursuit of knowledge, as long as it is in the right direction, will eventually be answered at an unexpected juncture.
The search command finally returned a definite response.
Deep within the database, under the category labeled "Bioshaping Science - Population Maintenance Protocols," the complete technical blueprint, theoretical principles, operation manual, and list of related equipment for "cloning brocade" are prominently displayed.
The data flow, like a burst dam, surged into Osiris' storage array, its complexity and sophistication far exceeding his speculations based on historical fragments.
He was engrossed in analyzing the technical details.
Cloning tapestry is not a single device, but a comprehensive system that integrates gene sequencing, diversity simulation, targeted compilation, and embryo culture.
Its core lies in a dynamic "gene pool model" that can simulate the flow of alleles under natural selection, ensuring that each newly generated clone has a unique gene combination and is in the optimal health range.
His search logic then naturally extended to the hardware facilities that complemented the cloned brocade.
He quickly identified a blueprint for a large-scale, integrated biomanufacturing platform called the "Gene Furnace".
This is an automated factory that integrates cell culture, tissue construction, organ induction, and even rapid maturation technologies.
It can efficiently and in large quantities produce complete biological individuals based on the genetic blueprint provided by the clone brocade, from the embryonic stage to the mature body, and the entire process can be completed in a highly controlled and accelerated state.
This solves the production capacity bottleneck for large-scale applications.
However, the most important discovery followed.
While browsing the "auxiliary technologies" and "stability enhancement protocols" related to cloning brocade, a technology entry called "barrier technology" caught his attention.
This technology is described as a "quasi-psyker" or "synthetic psyker" application system.
Its principle is not to directly tap into an individual's inherent subspace talents, but to generate a controllable energy field or force that simulates psionic effects through external technological intervention.
Detailed information indicates that barrier technology enables individuals with weak or no innate psyker abilities to gain the ability to release psyker-like effects through bio-integration modifications, such as generating kinetic barriers, distorting local physical rules, and interfering with energy flow.
This ability stems from a deep understanding and application of fundamental physical laws, rather than directly leveraging subspace energy. Therefore, it is theoretically more stable and unaffected by subspace storms or chaotic whispers.
When Osiris conducted a correlation analysis between "barrier technology" and the characteristic of "cloning brocade" in reducing subspace projection, a clear and powerful application prospect emerged.
Cloning brocade can create stable individuals with "dim" souls that are less likely to attract warp malice, while barrier technology can grant these individuals controllable, psionic-like combat abilities.
The combination of the two could theoretically create a special unit with a relatively dim and uncorrupted soul, while possessing a stable and controllable "psyker" talent.
