Chapter 444: Warp Transport Ship
Recovery of the Inductii
With the orderly advancement of the treatment plan, the Inductii warriors who had previously exhibited rejection reactions recovered one after another.
Under Ryo's precise regulation, all warriors who received customized organ transplants smoothly passed the rejection period, and their physiological indicators gradually stabilized within the normal range.
Apothecary Torgal was carefully verifying the newly submitted medical reports. He reported to Ryo: "As of now, a total of thirty-seven warriors have completed the full treatment process."
"Monitoring data shows that the functions of their Sus-an Membrane and Betcher's Gland have recovered well, both reaching over ninety percent of the functional level of a standard Astartes."
Magos Alvaro Vis brought up detailed monitoring data to supplement: "It is particularly worth noting that all customized organs have established stable biological connections with the host's gene-seed."
"The regulatory function of the neuroendocrine system has fully resumed normal operation, and the previous compensatory mechanisms have been completely eliminated."
Ryo reviewed each warrior's independent file one by one.
The data showed that the first batch of treated warriors had already returned to the training grounds, resuming normal training and active duty tasks.
Their physiological indicators continued to remain stable without any abnormal fluctuations.
Pointing to the newly issued laboratory report, Torgal continued: "The test results for Warrior Number 763 show that the toxin secretion function of his Betcher's Gland has fully met the design standards. Tissue biopsy results at the neural connections also confirm that the implanted organs have achieved complete integration."
"Based on continuous tracking and monitoring data over thirty days," Magos Vis added, "we can confirm that the physiological state of these warriors has no significant difference from Astartes who have completed standard augmentation."
Ryo compiled these valuable data into a detailed final report.
This report completely recorded the entire process from the initial analysis of the compensatory mechanism, to the mid-term cultivation of customized organs, up to the final successful transplantation. The key parameters and important precautions of each treatment stage were systematically summarized.
"This treatment plan has been fully verified," Ryo formally submitted the report to Apothecary Torgal. "It can now be standardized in preparation for subsequent widespread use."
Torgal carefully reviewed the contents of the report and responded: "We need to establish a more perfect archive management system. The treatment records of every warrior should be properly preserved, which will provide an important reference for similar cases that may arise in the future."
Magos Vis immediately began formulating standard operating procedures: "I will organize the key steps in the treatment process into clear guiding documents, including specific details such as drug formulation ratios, organ cultivation parameters, and surgical precautions."
After confirming that all data had been completely archived, Ryo concluded: "The verification phase of the treatment plan has been successfully completed. Next, we can follow this mature model to continue the augmentation for the remaining Inductii warriors."
The medical team of the Phalanx immediately proceeded with the subsequent treatments in an orderly manner according to the successfully verified treatment plan.
At the same time, the complete treatment report was promptly sent to Rogal Dorn's command center, providing solid technical assurance for the final completion of the Imperial Fists' gene-seed restoration project.
This treatment plan, as expected, received high approval from Rogal Dorn.
After carefully reviewing the complete treatment report, the Primarch immediately issued an order, requiring the apothecaries of all Imperial Fists successor chapters and companies to head to the Phalanx within a time limit to systematically learn this breakthrough restoration technology.
Ryo did not personally participate in the preparation of the training work. He handed over all technical data, including customized organ cultivation parameters, gene-seed calibration protocols, and the complete set of surgical procedures, to Magos Alvaro Vis.
Magos Vis would take full responsibility for the subsequent training work.
The Star Shuttle-Class Project
The reason Ryo decided not to participate in the subsequent training work was mainly based on two considerations: on one hand, he was unwilling to spend precious time on repetitive teaching tasks; on the other hand, he had just received an important invitation from the Adeptus Mechanicus headquarters on Mars.
A new type of transport ship, based on the Crescent-class cruiser design, was currently undergoing final design finalization at the Mars orbital shipyards.
Mars particularly hoped that he could provide professional technical reference opinions for this project.
This transport ship, officially named the Star Shuttle-class, was a model specially designed for the Imperial Chartist Fleet.
Based on referencing the overall design of the Crescent-class cruiser, it carried out a comprehensive modification of the Imperium's original large conventional engine transport ships.
The most critical improvement lay in the addition of a warp drive system while retaining the conventional sub-light plasma engines.
Upon learning this news, Ryo immediately set off for Mars after completing the handover of his current work.
He soon arrived at the main shipyards in Mars orbit. Inside the massive drydock, the first prototype of the Star Shuttle-class transport ship was undergoing final outfitting operations.
The representative from Mars, Forge Magos Tartarus, personally came to welcome Ryo: "Thank you for coming to guide us. The design of this transport ship concerns a major revolution in the Imperium's logistical system."
Ryo's mechanical tentacles immediately plugged into the drydock's data interface, beginning to carefully browse the design blueprints of the Star Shuttle-class.
He paid special attention to several key technical parameters: the energy consumption of the warp drive was controlled within a reasonable range, and the hull structure was specifically optimized for long-distance freight.
Although about ten percent of the cargo hold volume was lost due to the installation of the new engine, the transport efficiency of the entire ship had achieved a qualitative leap—after all, the ability to travel at thousands of times the speed of light brought by the warp drive was completely incomparable to the original sub-light transport efficiency.
"The energy distribution system needs further adjustment." Ryo astutely pointed out a potential problem in the design. "The peak power consumption when the warp drive is activated might affect the normal operation of the life support systems."
Magos Tartarus immediately brought up the relevant data for confirmation: "We did indeed notice this issue as well. The current temporary solution is to add backup energy units, but this will further reduce the payload capacity."
Ryo immediately proposed a more constructive alternative: "You can consider optimizing the energy transmission timing. During the activation phase of the warp drive, temporarily lower the power consumption priority of non-essential systems."
The Tech-Priests of Mars immediately began modifying the design plan according to this line of thought.
At the same time, Ryo continued to inspect other systems, putting forward specific improvement suggestions for the navigation system, cargo loading and unloading mechanisms, and maintenance corridors.
"These modifications will significantly improve the operational reliability of the ship," Magos Tartarus stated after evaluating the modification plan. "It is estimated to extend the conventional maintenance cycle by about thirty percent."
The design finalization work of the Star Shuttle-class transport ship lasted for several days.
With Ryo's assistance, the final design plan successfully passed the review, and the first batch of construction orders was subsequently issued to the major shipyards on Mars.
Once these new transport ships are officially put into use, they will greatly enhance the transport efficiency of the Imperial Chartist Fleet. Missions spanning across sectors that previously took centuries to complete could now be finished in mere months.
This technological innovation holds profound significance for improving the material circulation system of the entire Imperium.
