When the pure experimental data from the Night City's "Eden Valley," free from all abnormal interference, was transmitted to the main body in Necromunda via the dimensional communicator, Osiris' processing core simultaneously raised the risk alert level while confirming the data's validity.
As a transmigrator who knows the deep secrets of this world, Osiris has a clearer understanding of the nature of the four—or rather, five—indescribable beings entrenched in the subspace than most people in this world.
He knew perfectly well that although in the immediate aftermath of the Great Rebellion, the direct reach of these beings was limited by the Emperor sitting alone on the Golden Throne, maintaining the Webway and the Astronomicon, and the barrier between reality and illusion was not as thin as it had been in the late 10,000 years, making it difficult to send demon legions directly and on a large scale to the Imperial territory.
Even those corrupt traitors were temporarily unable to launch a major invasion, but this did not mean that the threat had disappeared.
The very existence of the Chaos Gods is a continuous and pervasive force that distorts reality.
Their effects are not always manifested in the direct form of burning skulls, howling demons, or putrid Nurgles.
More often than not, it is a subtle erosion, a systematic pollution and subversion of rationality, logic, and pure knowledge.
Deep within Osiris' database lies his experience of excavating countless relics from the Dark Ages of Technology as a former archaeological expert.
Why have most of those brilliant technological legacies that transcend contemporary understanding been lost to the annals of history, leaving only fragmented STC templates?
While the civil wars of the Age of Strife and the Old Night were certainly one of the reasons, the deeper catastrophe was the warp storms that swept across the galaxy.
It not only physically isolated human colonies, but also contaminated knowledge itself at a conceptual level.
Many precious databases or technological creations, over the long years, have been tainted by invisible whispers and distortions, becoming illogical, contradictory, and even harboring deadly traps that could induce madness or directly lead to the manifestation of warp entities.
This is precisely the fundamental reason why contemporary Mechanism has become increasingly conservative and rigid, evolving into a religious group that relies heavily on rituals and prayers and is almost paranoidly cautious about any "innovation".
In this universe, "gods" are real variables, and they can indeed interfere with reality.
The mechanical religion spends hundreds or even thousands of years verifying the "purity" of a technology, not simply because it is inefficient, but because it is a rigorous quarantine process necessary for survival to filter out subspace contamination.
This is by no means an exaggeration. In the history of the future, there have been tragic lessons learned from the fact that a single contaminated STC paint template led to the collective rebellion of all Imperial war machines that used the paint.
In the past, when faced with this conceptual contamination from a higher dimension, Osiris, like other researchers in the empire, had almost no other fundamental means of resistance other than relying on the emperor's protection (whether in the form of the guidance of the starlight or the faith barrier of the state religion) and near-paranoid caution.
Every step forward in technology is like groping through a minefield; any "innovation" that has not been thoroughly purified could lead to utter destruction.
But now, the situation is completely different.
The dimensional barrier between the Night City dimension and the Warhammer main universe forms a natural and powerful isolation barrier.
Preliminary experiments have definitively proven that the interference signals that haunted the data like ghosts in the Death World experiment and pointed to a specific chaotic existence were completely blocked in the Night City dimension.
What does this mean?
This means that the seed that Osiris unintentionally planted, or rather, the seed he planted in the past to treat David's mother and secure a stable rear, has now yielded far more fruit than expected—he now has an "absolutely pure" research environment that can completely shield him from subspace pollution.
Here, he can escape the seemingly ubiquitous, suffocating whispers and distortions, and boldly speculate, experiment, and innovate without worrying that his research results will be marked by chaos from the very beginning.
For a researcher dedicated to uncovering ancient technologies, exploring the essence of life, and even attempting to optimize human genetic material, the value of such a "safe house" is immeasurable.
Night City, the cyberpunk world he once regarded as a source of resources and a temporary base, has undergone a fundamental leap in strategic significance.
It is no longer just a material production base or a source of manpower, but a "clean room" for all his future high-risk, high-value core technology research, and the ultimate barrier for him to combat subspace pollution and ensure the purity of knowledge.
Osiris' gaze swept over the new gene seeds being cultivated in the Necromunda laboratory.
With Night City as a "pure barrier" to ensure final verification and in-depth research, he has unprecedented confidence and a broader space for exploration in optimizing these seeds and their future applications.
After confirming the "purity" of the Night City dimensional research environment and the absolute reliability of the data, Osiris II submitted an application to the main body to expand the scale of the experiment through the dimensional communicator.
The core of the application is to expand the application of the Genesis Particle from a controlled laboratory environment to the entire selected Badlands Valley, conducting a small-scale but significant environmental reshaping practice.
The application was quickly approved.
For Osiris, this is not only a necessary step to verify the macroscopic effectiveness of the Genesis Particles, but also a key link in testing the feasibility of regional ecological transformation under conditions of relatively limited resources (compared to the Warhammer Universe).
Once the order was given, the operation was launched swiftly.
Directly coordinated by the "manager," an engineering force, mainly composed of automation units, was dispatched to the valley.
They built more robust permanent fortifications and checkpoints at the only entrance to the valley, and deployed dense motion sensors and concealed surveillance probes along the surrounding ridgeline to ensure that the entire experimental area was completely isolated from the outside world, forming an absolute no-go zone.
Meanwhile, inside the valley, engineers began setting up a more powerful Genesis Particle Diffusion Device.
These devices are no longer sophisticated laboratory instruments, but rather industrial-grade equipment that focuses more on output power and coverage.
They are placed at several key nodes in the valley and connected to each other via underground fiber optic cables, forming an energy field network that covers the entire valley.
Energy is supplied directly from Night City's plasma reactor via a reinforced, deep underground dedicated line, ensuring a robust and stable energy input.
Once the preparations were complete, the experiment officially began.
