The meaning of "Sheldon" in various phrases and sentences
Q:
Co znaczy Sheldon: Well, it seems that the newcomer approaches the existing group with the greeting "How wasted am I?" which is met with an approving chorus of "Dude."?
A:
This sounds like Sheldon from The Big Bang theory. He's known for describing simple things in the most technical way possible.
What this means is that a person, presumably one who's drunk, comes up to a group of people, and asks them "How wasted am I?" ("Wasted" is an informal term for "drunk.") The others then answer by saying "Dude," which, in this context, is an expression of approval and amazement. That is, they see how drunk the first person is, and are essentially cheering him on.

Howard: Sheldon, what are you doing here?
Sheldon: I just came by to say hello.
Howard: I've been at this lab for three years, you've never came by to say hello.
Sheldon: Well, up until now I've had better things to do. So, what are we making today?
Howard: A small payload support structure for a European science experimental [(2) package] that's going up on the next space shuttle.
Sheldon: Really, how does it work?

A:
Oompah-loompas are the workers from the children's book and movie "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", by Roald Dahl. They are short and interchangeable, with no real personalities, and all work together under the direction of only Willy Wonka, a genius candymaker. So in this analogy, the "noble semi-skilled laborers" are like the Oompah-Loompahs, and "those who think and dream" are Willy Wonka.
2) He's preparing a set of material to physically support and deliver a European science experiment when it is being run from the space shuttle
3) The payload bay is the holding area from which the payload will be launched. It's the same as a bay for ships or a bay for a computer drive.

What does "if you will" by Sheldon in his first line mean?

Sheldon: Well, it seems that the newcomer approaches the existing group with the greeting "How wasted am I?" which is met with an approving chorus of "Dude."
A:
"If you will" is a pretty formal phrase when you're basically inviting your listener to imagine the scenario. It's not used too often today and overusing it can make someone sound pretentious.
Example: "Imagine, if you will, a world where poverty is a thing of the past."
So basically Sheldon is asking Leonard to think of the apes' interactions as if they were a language.
"Wasted" is another slang term for "really drunk", so in this case the drunk person is just calling attention to how drunk they are. "Dude" is just an affirmation here, kind of like "wow, you really are wasted!"
