Chapter 65: Chapter 65: Progress On Heimdall

Before noon the next day, the final two non-volatile DRAM-based NVMe modules were complete.

Tyler didn’t say anything as he observed all twelve DRAMs on the table. He nodded to himself, as he turned, gave the team a slight nod, and walked out of the lab

They all wanted to celebrate such huge success but there was no need for that. At least not until the actual work had been done.

...

The previous night on the their way back to the hotel , Tyler gave David the list of materials to source. Boron nitride composite sheets. Titanium-alloy support brackets. Graphene filament rolls. Miniaturized supercapacitor modules. Even diamond-like carbon coatings.

He had no intention of improvising mid-process. Everything had to be ready before the first print run began.

He knew that by the time he’d be ready to integrate the power delivery systems and cooling failsafes, David would’ve secured and delivered the required materials.

That wasn’t him hoping. It was a certainty. Tyler didn’t delegate to people he couldn’t trust.

The first step to the building Heimdall wasn’t building anything.

It was reprogramming the fabrication floor.

Tyler spent the first hour inside the core console room, seated in front of a dozen live terminals.

The fab equipment wasn’t designed for multi-layered circuit printing, exotic materials handling, embedded thermal channel routing, and component chamber molding. None of it existed in standard industrial presets.

So he rewrote the machine-level instructions.

He altered the firmware to support non-standard board geometries, tweaked material deposition tolerances to below 0.3 nanometers, and restructured the laser-guided etching pattern to accommodate photonic interconnect lattices.

Then he manually coded in the circuit logic mapping. This was a brutal process that required merging memory bus placement, optical line positioning, and thermal drainage vectors into one harmonized structure.

There was no room for auto-routing. Auto-routing would’ve killed the entire board.

Once the machines were ready, Tyler stepped out of the console room and called the team into the assembly space.

The 34 men and women, all standing in a semi-circle, some still wiping coolant grease off their gloves.

They didn’t say anything as they wanted for Tyler to give them the big news.

Tyler pulled up the main screen, loaded a simplified schematic of the Heimdall motherboard, and began to explain.

He didn’t use metaphors and he didn’t sugarcoat it, as he told them what they were about to do and why.

Five minutes in, he saw the looks on their faces.

Half-disbelief, half-awe.

One of them, Jorge, a veteran chip layer technician, muttered under his breath, "You serious?"

Tyler didn’t answer.

He didn’t need to because they all knew he was being very serious.

The mood shifted as everyone understood that what they were about to attempt wasn’t just complex. It was also dangerous.

Heimdal wasn’t just some experimental gaming board. This thing would carry more power than a small industrial generator.

It had optical lines sensitive to temperature fluctuations of ±0.2°C. Voltage rails that could liquify copper. Component nests that couldn’t be misaligned by even a fraction of a millimeter.

A single slip during assembly could destroy the whole platform—or worse, cause catastrophic failure during power-up.

They wanted to call it insane.

But deep down, none of them wanted to miss it.

They’d helped build the Valkyrie-X. They had watched the storage modules come alive. Things that had no business existing in the 21st century.

They really wanted to see how far the madness went.

Of course, Tyler didn’t explain everything.

He gave them only what was needed.

Those handling frame assembly got the spatial lattice dimensions and component locking schema.

Those overseeing material layering were briefed on graphene rail fusing, thermal expansion control, and bonding curves for boron nitride substrates.

No one knew everything. Only Tyler did, and that was how it needed to be.

This wasn’t a team project. It was completely different from the GPU chips and the DRAMs.

This was completely different. This was Tyler’s project.

By 2:00 PM, fabrication officially began.

Just as Tyler had wanted, David had delivered, getting him the things he needed.

Tyler took the first sheet of boron nitride composite and fed it into the customized printer chamber.

A faint vibrational sound filled the room as the modified deposition arms activated and widened for layered circuit paths, and lined with sub-atomic laser guides.

He watched the heads move, laying the foundation for the motherboard spine. This was the layer that would carry GPIC lanes and the structural skeleton.

Then came the hard part.

Every circuit segment, every embedded liquid microchannel, every power gate, Tyler had to supervise their creation in real time.

The machines could do it, but only if they were babysat.

Once, a thermal channel etched 1.5 nanometers off-center. That deviation was enough to compromise coolant flow under load.

Tyler caught it within seconds and shut the process down. He had to reverse a portion of the print and reprogram the heat diffusion pattern to rebalance the path.

Another time, a GPIC core line began fusing prematurely due to ambient vibration—caused by someone dropping a toolkit ten meters away.

...

By 5:00 PM, progress was at 6%.

Tyler hadn’t eaten and his eyes were burning.

His fingers were aching from manually realigning calibration axes between print layers. But he didn’t stop to let himself get some rest.

The next phase was embedding photonic interconnect routes between the GPU nests and the memory core matrix.

This required laying ultrathin optical threads through pre-etched grooves and each thread only 25 microns thick.

The grooves had to be filled with liquid polymer insulation and hardened without introducing optical scatter.

A single dust particle and it could break signal propagation.

A single misaligned beam path and complete data loss.

He used a sealed chamber for this part. Custom rigged.

Everyone watched from the outside as Tyler worked on it.

By 6:20 PM, that segment was complete.

Another 4% down.

10% total.

Tyler finally stepped back.

He looked at the board. Just the spine and primary nerve lines.

But it was enough. The core infrastructure was laid.

He stepped outside the chamber, peeled off the insulated gloves, and wiped the sweat off his neck.

His team waited quietly but no one asked for status updates. They could see it in his posture, that he was satisfied.

Even if it was just 10%, it was 10% of something the world had never seen.

"You’re done for the day, boss?" one of the techs asked.

Tyler nodded slowly. "That’s all for now."

"Tomorrow we resume?"

"Yeah," he said.

Everyone nodded and started cleaning up. As they did that, Tyler took one last look at the partial board.

It wasn’t functional yet but it was coming together just fine. Hopefully he makes no mistake and ruins it.
