The tracking device led the Soviets to the Chronosphere's new location on the Iberian Peninsula. The Soviets placed a tracking device placed in Einstein's watch which allowed the Allies to rescue the scientist using the Chronosphere. The attack led to the capture of Albert Einstein.
The Soviets tracked the Chronosphere to Northern Switzerland. Stalin became obsessed with acquiring it, especially after Allied forces began using it. In an alternate timeline, the Soviets first became aware of the Chronosphere when Soviet agents observed it in operation on Elba Island. The following is based on the Soviet campaign of Red Alert and might contradict canon. Its various drawbacks were overcome by Einstein at his Black Forest laboratory during the Third World War. Regardless, the Chronosphere was officially released for use at the Battle of Moscow in the final stages of the war. Solving the control problem became the main preoccupation of Albert Einstein and other personnel working on the project. Initial testing of the device showed that a lack of control over the process of teleportation. Despite facing such as setback, Einstein redesigned the device, to teleport matter instead. But due to unknown causes it malfunctioned. The first prototype Chronosphere device was built by Albert Einstein in 1946 to travel in time. The appearance of the chrono vortex during use also highlighted the device's flaws. Personnel were still liable to disappear during teleportations and nuclear warheads could explode if teleported. The first Chronosphere device powering up.Įven after rigorous testing, the Chronosphere still continued to exhibit problems when used. Despite the sustained Soviet assault, the test proceeded on schedule. Field Commander A9 was sent to hold the facility. The base was preparing for a critical test and evacuation would mean the loss of months of preparations. Advancing Soviet forces discovered the facility and threatened to destroy it.
"Einstein wanted me to warn you that the Chronosphere may produce unknown side effects, so be careful when using it! Even we do not understand its full powers!"Ī crucial control test of the Chronosphere was performed in a facility near Lich, Germany. Gunter von Esling introducing the Chronosphere to Field Commander A9 With this to help you, even Stalin's new Iron Curtain will not be able to stop us!" "We have also earnt the right to be the first to test the newest addition to our arsenal.
The first Chronosphere prototype in 1946.
