After completing the initial gene modulation of the thirty test subjects, Osiris did not rush to advance to the next stage of gene seed implantation.
In his plan, these enhanced individuals need sufficient time to adapt to and stabilize their new physiological state.
More importantly, for the different gene seeds he prepared, which originated from different protogenetic materials, a more targeted secondary modulation scheme needs to be designed to ensure higher compatibility and success rate.
This work requires precise calculations and simulations and cannot be accomplished overnight.
While monitoring the adaptive training data of thirty test subjects, Osiris simultaneously launched another research project that was more core to him and had been planned for a long time—"Doppelganger Protocol".
The project was inspired by the quantum entanglement symbiotic model derived from long-term observations of samples from "Alpha" and "Omega," while its technological realization relies on the precision bio-shaping capabilities provided by newly acquired cloning brocade technology, which surpasses current imperial standards.
His goal is to create a derivative individual based on his own genetic blueprint, a "clone" that can maintain a deep and stable connection with his own core consciousness.
The experiment was conducted secretly in a separate cabin deep within the core biological laboratory of the "Eternal Quest," which was protected by multiple layers of encryption and physical shielding.
This area is completely isolated from the region where gene-based particle research or gene seed optimization is conducted, and access is restricted to Osiris alone.
He first retrieved Alfa and Omega sample data recovered from the "Edge of Tomorrow" world.
The quantum entanglement effect between these two special life forms, which transcends conventional communication protocols, provides a theoretical model and underlying architectural reference for the consciousness connection required for "avatars".
Osiris did not intend to completely replicate this alien life form, but rather to draw upon the core principles of information synchronization and state sharing in its entanglement pattern.
Next, he used his own preserved genetic samples, which were relatively untouched by large-scale mechanization. This is the biological basis of the clone.
Combining cloning brocade technology, he began the precise reshaping of his own genetic material.
The process is far more complex than simple cloning.
Referring to the entanglement model of Alpha and Omega, Osiris wove a special "anchor" information structure into his own gene sequence to stabilize quantum entanglement.
The sole function of these anchors is to establish and maintain a deep connection with his core consciousness—whether it be the biological part of his brain or the vast mechanical processing unit—that transcends physical distance.
This is akin to constructing an extremely complex biological geometry at the microscopic level, designed purely for connection.
The creation of clones takes place in a specially designed artificial uterus.
The composition of the nutrient base is rigorously calculated to ensure that during embryonic development, the implanted "anchor points" can grow and integrate synchronously with the body, becoming part of its life foundation, rather than being foreign implants.
At the same time, Osiris made targeted enhancements to the physiological structure of the clone.
He applied some of the advanced gene editing algorithms derived from cloning brocade technology to systematically enhance the clone's bone density, muscle strength, nerve conduction speed, and organ efficiency, making its basic physical qualities far superior to ordinary humans, and even better than the thirty experimental subjects that had just been modified.
This is not about pursuing ultimate combat capabilities, but about ensuring that the clone, as an independent action unit, has sufficient resilience to survive and perform its mission.
Regarding the psionic aspect, Osiris adopted a cautious yet ingenious design.
He did not attempt to create a naturally powerful psyker, as that would not only be extremely risky but also likely to attract unnecessary attention.
Instead, he used the ability of cloning brocade technology to tune subspace projections, combined with the theory of "barrier technology," to implant a relatively weak but highly controllable foundation of psionic potential into his clone.
To utilize this interface, Osiris simultaneously designed a special psionic headband.
This headband is not simply an amplifier; its core function is based on "barrier technology" to generate a stable and controlled synthetic psionic field.
When the headband is activated, it can resonate precisely with the pre-set "interface" in the clone's brain, thereby guiding and amplifying a controllable psionic effect.
In this way, when using the headband, the clone can stably exert psyker power equivalent to that of an ordinary human psyker, such as generating simple kinetic barriers, moving small objects, or performing short-range telepathy, while avoiding the huge risks and instabilities brought about by directly manipulating subspace energy.
The entire cultivation process lasted several months.
Osiris' mechanical body would stand silently in front of the incubation chamber for several hours each day, with the scarlet optical lens locking onto the slowly forming life signs inside.
At the same time, his massive processing core would continuously run complex simulation programs, deducing various situations that might occur when the connection was established.
When the clone embryo develops to near maturity, the most crucial consciousness connection test is initiated.
The monitoring instrument successfully captured the extremely weak but real harmonic resonance between the brainwave activity of the clone's initial formation and the operating frequency of Osiris' own processing core.
This proves that the pre-implanted quantum entanglement anchor is working, and the underlying channel for consciousness connection has been established.
This connection is not a simple information transmission, but is more like a master-slave node relationship in a distributed processing system.
The clone's consciousness can be seen as an extension of Osiris' main consciousness, with both sharing a higher-level consciousness field.
Osiris' main consciousness, as the absolute center, can perceive the sensory information and thought processes of his clones in real time and directly control them.
The clone possesses a certain degree of autonomous reaction and logical processing capabilities to cope with complex environments, but its core decision-making chain and ultimate authority always belong to Osiris.
He can also switch his main consciousness to his clone at any time and control it from a first-person perspective, as if he were personally present.
This design brings a crucial strategic advantage: if Osiris' main body encounters unpredictable extreme danger, he can theoretically transfer his main consciousness core and key memory data packets to his clone body through the established quantum entanglement channel, thereby achieving a kind of "consciousness continuation" and greatly improving his survival redundancy when facing unknown threats.
As for the time reversal ability observed in mimicry, Osiris' research has encountered a bottleneck.
The physical laws of the Warhammer universe, especially the way the warp interacts with the real universe, differ significantly from those of the Edge of Tomorrow world.
To directly reproduce such a planetary-scale, near-reset time reversal would require an energy level and a degree of rule interference that is almost impossible to achieve with current technology, and would easily trigger unpredictable subspace ripples.
Therefore, when Osiris was creating the clone, he strictly limited and securely encapsulated this ability.
He did not pursue large-scale time manipulation, but rather limited the influence of time to the micro level and the clone itself.
The clone can perform simple time manipulation techniques, much like casting specific psionic spells. These techniques can be used to locally accelerate or decelerate the time flow of small objects, or to perform limited time reversal repairs on non-living objects carried by the clone.
Its most crucial self-preservation ability is limited to small-scale time rewinding, which is limited to its own individual.
When the clone suffers fatal damage or irreversible contamination, it can activate a built-in, weakened security protocol based on a mimicry time mechanism to revert its physical state to a point in time up to twenty-four hours ago.
This process consumes a huge amount of bioenergy and cannot be used frequently, while it cannot affect anything other than the clone.
This is more like an emergency self-rescue measure than a strategic weapon.
When the cultivation cycle is completely finished, the artificial uterus chamber door slowly opens.
A body that bore some resemblance to Osiris' human form, but appeared younger and had a more well-proportioned and robust physique, was presented before him.
The body had its eyes closed, and its chest rose and fell slightly with steady breathing.
Osiris' mechanical tentacles placed a specially made psionic headband on the clone's head.
He then issued the first activation command through the main control panel.
The clone—or rather, another vessel of Osiris' consciousness—opened its eyes.
