Chapter 66: Heimdall Completed

Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Heimdall Completed

Tyler barely noticed the passing of days anymore.

Since the day he laid down Heimdall’s backbone, his internal clock had shifted.

Daylight and nightfall had no meaning. Sleep came in short intervals, mostly usually when his body gave out at the workbench.

Meals were taken standing. Breaks, if they could be called that, were moments spent staring at the schematic file like it might betray a flaw if he watched long enough.

But despite the intensity, everything was going smoothly.

On Day Two, he made huge and solid headway with a 20% progress. With that, the total completion reached 30%. Every detail was falling into place in a satisfying fashion.

On Day Three, he kept the same pace with another 20%. That brought the total to 50%, then 70%. And with that number came a dangerous thought. Or should he call it optimism?

At this rate, he could be done in a day or two.

But Tyler had forgotten the one constant in every groundbreaking project: the most difficult part always comes when you think you’ve figured it out.

He started day four started with confidence.

He began routing the voltage rail clusters for the Valkyrie-X cores, a task that required integrating the graphene-based power delivery networks with the embedded smart regulators and failsafe supercapacitor matrix.

This wasn’t new. He had already tested each subsystem in isolation.

But what he hadn’t tested was all of them together in a live configuration, simultaneously drawing power.

It was here, at this stage, that things started getting complicated.

The hardest part of Heimdall’s build wasn’t its spine. It wasn’t the optical interconnects or the DRAM address segmentation.

It was the core logic control cluster. This was a dense zone at the center of the board where power routing, data arbitration, controller firmware, and security handshakes all merged in a fragile mesh.

This zone controlled every piece of Heimdall.

It was home to the embedded RISC CPUs—small processors that managed memory, temperature, and localized component behavior.

Each controller had to speak fluently with its neighbors and report up to Heimdall Core, the custom firmware Tyler had been developing alongside the hardware.

And the problem was that the zone was a nightmare to build.

It had more layer intersections than any other part of the motherboard, and over a dozen critical nodes existed within a square no larger than his palm.

This area had a zero-tolerance margin for error.

One bad solder point, one misaligned trace, or one shorted controller could corrupt the entire board.

The logic cluster wasn’t just the brain of Heimdall, it was also its most fragile organ.

Any mistake here, and everything else would fry.

Tyler knew what he was getting into and that was why he didn’t try to rush it. Instead, he dialed in fully.

He slowed everything down, re-checked alignment between layers after each printing run, and recalibrated laser etching tools before every pass.

And still, it was grueling.

Two full days passed, and Tyler only managed a total of 10% more progress. Five percent each day.

He spent an entire six-hour block on just three millimeters of photonic threading. Another eight hours embedding two controller sockets.

He had to position them by hand with microscopic assistance to ensure thermal isolation and shielding alignment.

To the outside world, this kind of crawl-speed progress might seem intolerable.

But Tyler wasn’t frustrated. Rather, he was relieved.

Relieved that nothing had gone wrong. That every test passed. That every continuity check came back clean and that every controller initialized without voltage fluctuation.

Progress was slow yes, but it was perfect.

And in this phase of the build, perfect was the only acceptable outcome.

By the end of Day Six, the logic cluster was fully embedded. The power matrix was fused. Heimdall Core’s initial handshake tests had passed on the test firmware.

Tyler stepped back from the bench, flexing his fingers. His arms had already gone stiff from microscopic adjustments, and he was now at 80% completion.

The hard part was over and now, he could breathe easy and the final 20% of Heimdall was the integration phase.

It was time to embed the ten Valkyrie-X chips, connect them to their GPIC lanes, and seat each one into its custom vertical chamber.

Each chamber accepted a chip like a puzzle piece. It would have no screws, no risers and no clunky locking mechanisms.

The GPIC lanes did everything, from power, cooling, to data management. It was like a plug-and-think design.

One by one, Tyler inserted the Valkyrie-X GPUs, verifying thermal coupling and signal response at each step.

The moment the tenth chip clicked into place, the system pinged its firmware: all GPUs recognized, all within thermal range, all within power specs.

Then came the DRAM towers.

Sixteen towers of 4TB modules, totaling 64TB of volatile memory, arranged in a symmetric layout around the board’s central logic cluster.

Each tower slotted into a memory cradle, connected to its independent address bank and prediction cache.

He sealed the sockets, ran validation scans, and double-checked voltage curves, and everything checked out.

Hours passed without notice and Tyler didn’t pause.

He soldered the last of the copper-carbon signal boosters, polished the titanium thermal guards, and secured the final shielding plates.

At exactly 9:34 PM, Heimdall was done.

The motherboard sat on the anti-static pad in front of him like a mechanical heart. It looked complex, clean, dangerous and beautiful too.

He stared at it for a long moment. There were so many thoughts running through his mind at the moment.

But the fact that he had created motherboard so advanced that no datacenter on Earth could match it was something he was extremely proud of. And he had built it here, with his own hands, from scratch

And when he thought of the fact that it’s a motherboard that no lab, no corporate R&D division and no black budget government facility would be able to achieve in the next five decades, it brought him a different kind of satisfaction.

He gently lifted it and carried it to the custom casing prepared earlier.

The boron nitride composite shell was waiting on a clean bench, reinforced with titanium alloy ribs and lined with passive EM dampening.

The casing wasn’t just a box. It was a thermal equalizer, a noise shield, and a structural cradle.

Tyler inserted Heimdall into its casing. Each chamber fit perfectly. The cooling conduits aligned and the board looks perfectly fitted.

Tyler closed the outer panel, fastened the locks, and stepped back.

It was done. The hardware was complete.

Now came the next step: the Operating System.

He couldn’t use any of the existing operating systems or any open-source kernel from the wild.

He needed a sovereign OS.

One that could manage real-time AI execution, dynamic model swapping, GPU specialization, memory prediction, and thermodynamic throttling simultaneously.

An OS that wouldn’t crash under trillion-parameter runtime pressure. One that is built for Heimdall and not adapted to it.

But the operating system can wait, as Tyler needs rest. He has been working for days without having enough of it and he could feel it that he was not far from collapsing.

As for the operating system, he will think more about it when he wakes up.
