# The Lost Invention - Interactive Code Walkthrough

This interactive guide will help you implement the "Lost Invention" mission using the Warp API. You'll learn how to travel back to 1889 to retrieve Nikola Tesla's lost blueprints before they're destroyed in a mysterious fire.

## Mission Overview

In this mission, you'll use the Warp API to travel back to 1889 and retrieve Nikola Tesla's lost invention blueprints before they're destroyed in a mysterious fire. This walkthrough will guide you through:

1. Setting up a temporal anchor in the present
2. Creating a timeline to 1889
3. Traveling to the past
4. Retrieving the blueprints
5. Checking for paradoxes
6. Returning safely to the present


Your Warp API Key
API Base URL
First, let's set up our SDK with your API key. This will allow us to make authenticated requests to the Warp API.

The SDK provides wrapper functions around the Warp API endpoints, making it easier to interact with the time travel functionality.

Before traveling to the past, we need to establish a temporal anchor in the present. This will serve as our return point after completing the mission.

The anchor is crucial for safe time travel - without it, you might not be able to return to your original timeline!

Next, we'll create a timeline targeting March 10, 1889 - just days before Tesla's laboratory fire.

The timeline preparation API sets up the quantum coordinates for your journey and calculates the temporal window during which travel is safe.

Now that we have our timeline prepared, we can initiate the time travel sequence to 1889.

This is the actual time travel operation that will transport you to the past. The API handles all the complex quantum calculations needed for safe temporal displacement.

Safety Protocols
Before traveling, the API performs several safety checks to ensure the integrity of the timeline and your safe arrival.

These checks include quantum stability analysis, timeline convergence verification, and temporal displacement calculations.

Once in 1889, we need to locate and register Tesla's blueprints. Registration is crucial as it tags the item for temporal transport back to our time.

Without proper registration, items from the past cannot be safely transported through the temporal field.

Before returning to the present, we must check for potential paradoxes that might result from removing the blueprints from the timeline.

Paradox detection is one of the most critical safety features of the Warp API. It analyzes the potential impact of your actions on the timeline.

Finally, we'll return to our temporal anchor in the present, bringing the blueprints with us.

The return journey uses the anchor coordinates established in Step 1 to ensure you arrive at exactly the right point in your original timeline.

Congratulations! You've successfully completed the mission and retrieved Tesla's lost blueprints.

The retrieved blueprints can now be studied to understand what revolutionary technology Tesla was working on before it was lost to history.
