Chapter 445 - Restarting the Experiment

Given the potential risks of the Genesis Particle Experiment and its special environmental requirements, Osiris II did not set up the research inside Night City.

With the help of detailed terrain scanning data provided by the "manager," he turned his attention to the vast and desolate badlands on the outskirts of the city.

After several rounds of screening and on-site surveys, he finally selected a secluded valley surrounded by mountains, about sixty kilometers from Night City.

The geological structure of this area is relatively stable, far from major transportation routes and the activity range of homeless families, and there is little meteorological interference, which meets the conditions for basic experiments.

Compared to the convenience of having access to the cruiser "Eternal Seeker" and the full resources of the Mechanicus in the Warhammer Universe, the environment in Night City is undoubtedly much more rudimentary.

He is unable to perform planetary-scale environmental modifications, nor can he replicate the release of primordial particles on the scale of the Death World.

The scale and energy level of the experiment must be strictly limited.

However, with a city backed by near-limitless energy and resources, Osiris II still possesses a solid foundation for conducting independent research in this location.

Once the site was selected, the massive project was launched quickly.

Several heavy construction machines arrived in the valley under the escort of an armed guard.

The first step was to level the ground and construct basic defensive fortifications.

A 15-meter-high protective wall made of prefabricated alloy panels was quickly erected along the narrow area at the entrance to the valley. Motion sensors and automatic warning turrets were installed on the wall, which was powered by a dedicated underground cable that connected directly to the Night City's energy network.

Inside the valley, standardized laboratory modules, independent energy relay stations, environmental control systems, and a scaled-down version of the Genesis Particle Guiding and Release Device, which shares the same core principles, began to be installed.

A crucial supply chain was subsequently established.

Through a newly opened secure passage regularly patrolled by Knights (before the transfer order was officially executed), various special alloys, rare elements, high-purity chemical reagents, and customized components required for experiments produced by Night City's "Material Replication System" were continuously transported to the valley.

The entire construction process was efficient and rapid, fully demonstrating the engineering capabilities supported by abundant resources.

In just half a month, a small research outpost with full functionality and its own defense system rose up in this barren valley.

Osiris II named it "Eden Valley," which not only indicates the core of his research but also implies its connection to the Genesis Experiment.

Standing in the newly built control room, looking down through the reinforced glass curtain wall at the ready-to-go experimental field, Osiris II initiated the system self-test program.

All equipment readings are normal, energy supply is stable, and the isolation zone is operating well.

Despite limited resources and a smaller scale, a controlled research environment free from potential subspace interference has been established.

Here, he will begin a more cautious and gradual exploration of the mysteries of the primordial particles.

Thanks to the complete experimental data and mature operating procedures accumulated on the Death World in the Warhammer Universe, the restart of Genesis Particles research in the new laboratory in Eden Valley went exceptionally smoothly.

From the precise focusing parameters of the energy field to the timing control of particle injection, from the preset thresholds of environmental factors to the monitoring nodes of sample cultivation, all key steps have detailed records to follow.

In theory, this is more like a verification replication in a completely new environment.

However, Osiris' goal is not simply to replicate the result.

The strange data bias that appeared in the previous study, pointing to the number "seven," acted like a potential contamination signal, causing him to fundamentally question the "purity" of the original data.

In order to obtain a set of reliable baseline data that is completely free from potential subspace interference, he decided to abandon all shortcuts and start from scratch, repeating the entire experimental process in the most rigorous, even rigid, manner.

He first instructed the auxiliary units to reassemble and calibrate the Genesis Particle Synthesis Device in the core area of ​​the experimental field, strictly following the design drawings.

Accompanied by the deep hum of the energy core, the validated synthetic sequence was executed once again.

When the first stable, controlled stream of Genesis particles was generated in the confinement field and its energy characteristics were confirmed by the sensor array to be in perfect agreement with the data from the Warhammer Universe, the first step of the foundation was declared a success.

This proves that the synthesis technique itself is stable and reproducible across dimensions, eliminating random errors at the equipment or fundamental principle level.

Next, the experiment entered the environmental intervention phase.

He manipulated the particle stream, irradiating the rigorously screened and pretreated inorganic matrix in the experimental field according to a pre-set, repeatedly verified energy spectrum.

The reorganization of matter at the microscopic level then begins. Under the influence of particles, the atomic arrangement and chemical bonding of the originally inert rocks and soil undergo subtle and continuous changes, gradually transforming into a special environment that can support more complex chemical reactions.

The data throughout the process is recorded in real time and compared with historical data to ensure that every fluctuation is within the expected range.

The most crucial step then follows—guiding the life precursors.

Based on the particle-modified matrix, Osiris II precisely injected a "nutrient base" containing necessary elements and compounds.

Under the influence of a continuous and gentle field of primordial particles, these simple molecules begin to self-organize and aggregate, forming increasingly complex organic structures.

Amino acids, nucleotides... these basic building blocks of life are clearly marked on the monitoring screen.

Ultimately, a "primordial soup" rich in various organic molecules, capable of continuous energy metabolism and material cycling, was successfully formed in the closed environment of the experimental field, marking the crossing of the key threshold for the transition from non-life to life once again.

The entire process proceeded smoothly, and the data generated at each stage closely matched the data from the Warhammer Universe in his hands—except for those deviations related to the number "seven" that had previously been marked as abnormal fluctuations, which had now completely disappeared.

The experimental data curves are smooth and consistent with theoretical predictions, without any unexplained fluctuations or obvious unnatural tendencies.

Osiris II stood in front of the control panel, comparing the old and new data reports.

The newly acquired dataset perfectly reproduced all the previous effective results, while completely eliminating those disturbing interference signals.

This confirmed his conjecture: the previous anomalies did indeed stem from external intervention, rather than from design flaws or random errors in the experiment itself.

At this moment, in the Night City dimension under his complete control, in this seemingly barren yet "clean" badlands valley, he finally obtained a set of pure, reliable, and trustworthy baseline data.

This laid a solid and stable foundation for all subsequent in-depth research based on the primordial particles.
