Just about you, that's a good start, mothers? I need contact details"...They're, um...dead..."
Since all SADIST wants is to destroy the earth, it makes sense to unleash a menace like that...What makes you think it will turn destructive? It could as easily realize that promoting human survival so it can reach interstellar travel is in it interest.
I humbly ask that Sunshine squad does not look into these spoilers, as it'd be cheating to know about every little flaw of every little thing we have on our nanites, it'd be cheating, go discover them your self, but if you want, go ahead And if you DO look, please dont use it for your plans, just for story.Hey, you get ultratech while we're working on getting spacecraft! We need every edge we can get!
A Flying transport unit, the size of A large elephant armed with many guns that can fire other nanobots, such as the Flyer...How is a large-elephant-sized robot a nanobot? Or, for that matter, a mosquito-sized one?
Can build specialized Nano Bots for specific purposes, and is able to adapt to its situation,Because unlimited adaptivity isn't a recipe for it doing something unexpected.
A Huge Colony ship capable of allowing 10000 humans with enough supply's to last 800 yearsOverkill, much? Do you even have 10,000 people in your faction?
...Why is that called Rudolf?Spoiler: Rudolf (click to show/hide)
A Non-Nanobot- Cloaking devices that was manually fitted from A SADIST stationBecause such a cloaking device won't be space-station-sized.
Um...well, aside from the typical issues, that still sounds like it would be detected pretty quickly from the uncanny valley effect, or even the "That isn't acting remotely normal" effect.Spoiler: Spibot (click to show/hide)
A small drone, the size of 10 antsBut what shape?
However, they are"dummy" bullets,Doesn't sound like it.
The circuits of the nanites them selves are made of Silicon,Silicon alone? That wouldn't work well...if at all.
They are also designed to be built easily with other nanites, but some specializations can occur with them, EG one might have thicker shell for deep water exploration.Is this specialization automated, or have you suddenly decided that not having probable madness is a good thing?
It. What? This is for a demonstration, not straight up in the lab!Huh? Um...weren't you going to use it on yourself?
Lets throw our sword to Gervaise. That, or run to him and press the sword into his hands. If he ends up a hero, then great, if he is savaged, he probably wont die anyway. Secondly, I think that by just opening the cage, he has showed the courage necessary of a true knight, so maybe, if he isn't savaged and doesn't disgrace himself further than he already has by wetting himself, etc, we should let him in even if he fails to capture the dog.+0.65
"As such, you are among those we are sworn to protect. I assume that all present understand that, and will NOT harass him for the remainder of this trip." As we say that last sentence, look meaningfully and sternly at Cadmon.
((Oh, that's what the Weak Force does. I had forgotten.))((Presumably, yes.Or, you know, you could just 'turn off' electric interaction in an area, resulting in said area violently tearing itself apart.))((1. You can do that?
2. Aren't the nuclear forces and gravity all attractive? I mean, bad things would definitely happen, but why would it violently tear itself apart?))
One very noticeable part is affected material is suddenly turned into a very high-pressure gas. Electromagnetism is the only thing that allows solid, or even liquid, matter to form. Not to mention the rather large amounts of energy bound up in intramolecular and intermolecular bonds, which would all have to go somewhere, likely into superheating the now gaseous material.
And that's only two effects. The material would likely ultimately end up as a plasma, since electrons are no longer bound to atoms, for instance, and I don't even know how many other possible effects there are. Considering that gravity is negligible at this scale, the strong force only works within the nucleus (and even then, only up to a certain size), and the weak force is, as far as I know, a repulsive force - it's responsible for the splitting of an atom when the atom is too large for the strong force to hold it together, as well as keeping electrons away from the nucleus.))
((So it would basically be like suddenly replacing that area with the equal mass contents of a fusion reactor (since you've got superheated plasma and atomic nuclei that fuse with each other).((Why would it heat up?))
Assuming there are no quantum effects at work we haven't considered.
And then, when the effect dissipates, you're left with all that fused, hot and probably unstable material...))
I was referring to how he had somehow accessed what his post would be Gizoogle'd into before posting it. I'm interested in how.After discovering it yesterday and testing it, I can say that there are some unrelated sentences that are introduced alongside the translated text.Wait, what?Quote from: Gizoogle Textilizer
