Theosophs+EoT+2

Theosophs MIL: +++ Just as the Romans used their military to built roads, use mine to support my econ projects. However, keep the scouts busy, I do not want to be attacked again.

ECON: + Going to the Spark project with Loki's Brigade

+++++ In anticipation of my paradigm shift spark program, begin gathering materials for the change over in my economy/industry. This will include metal, which I haven't traditionally used.

MOR: +++ Streamline the government under the new unified monarchy.

SPK: ++ Loki's Brigade joint project. Create photovoltaic/synthetic panels and use the generated energy to empower the lift producing portion of my standard floating panels. The system is designed to use the photo synthetic aspect of artificial organic chemicals to sequester atmospheric carbon generated by the industrial activity of other nations. Should be good for a WO boost, since it will take literally hundreds of tons of polution out of the air. On-board facilities will then use the Haber process to convert the solid carbon (aka coal) into aviation fuel.

To make certain that they do not betray me, include an impurity in the produced fuel. Not something that will affect performance, but an inert molecule that can be caused to undergo rapid decomposition with the induction of a particular combination of frequencies which will not occur in nature. Thus, if they attempt to make use of my fuel and betray me, they will lose all the airships using it.

They have promised ++Econ and +Spk to this project.

+++++ + I want to develop a paradigm shift in the way we use the water of our nation. This is a set of related programs that is meant to change the way we do things. If this were an RTS this is is an Age change.

The projects are: Researching a structure for the arrangement for the molecules of the high temperature ice of our water. The structure produces resonance chambers that focus the energies of a block of the ice to transmute other matter into more of the ice with the same structure. Basically, make Tiberium from C&C 3. I am calling the substance Imperium.

Research a way to infuse Imperium energy into normal material. This infusion will overcome the bond energy of the molecules/atoms of the substance. The the overcome matter will be converted into energy but remain part of the infused object. This energy will take the form of molecular bonds through the nth dimension. This will have the effect of making all infused things lighter and stronger.

Due to the low density of ice, research a way to drain Imperium of its unique energy and store it in a different, non spreading, crystal structure. Gemstones should work nicely. Such a gem will be called 'infused'.


 * Note**: What follows are some example projects making use of the above.


 * Momentum armor: Integrate mercury into a plate of porous iron. Then infuse the slab. This will take a high degree of infused energy. The resulting plate is then incorporated into armor. The armor is remarkably light, a few ounces at most with the military grade versions. All actions taken while in the armor are magnified.

Here is why. Lets say you are running. You kick off, having to move only yourself and a few ounces of armor. However, the armor has lost no mass, due to conservation of mass. So you+a few ounces is pushing off with the momentum of the hundred some pounds of armor. The mercury is the key. Because mercury is a liquid metal it changes the distribution of mass in the plates. Pressure/density waves travel through it, but the infusion process means that despite the tiny amount of real mass remaining the motion of the armor creates significant changes in the momentum.


 * Repairable material: Lets say a suit of momentum armor is broken in half. Lets say someone takes half, melts it down, and alloys it with their airship or some such.

By infusing Imperium energy into the half I have the strength of the bonds through the nth dimension will increase between the edges of my half and the stolen portions. The atoms of the stolen portions begin to move through n-space until they are reattached to my half of the armor. This will of course leave holes of some sort in their airship, depending on how they mixed the metal in.

In theory, if they had infusion technology they could fight me for a piece. The larger the piece the easier it is to pull the rest to you, since the existing particles resonate together. The more energy you have to infuse into it the faster and more pull you have.

The following is an example of a final produce produced after the change in paradigm.


 * Shardplate: Repairable Momentum Armor. Includes infused gemstones on the inner surfaces. If damaged in combat the repair function begins to activate and it repairs itself. Additionally, there is an option to begin infusing energy from the gems into the armor even when not damaged. Thus further lightens it and magnifies the momentum properties. However, higher infusion caused Imperium energy to begin to leak because the normal infusion process takes controlled circumstances with shielding so that the energy cannot escape but is forced into the structure of the material.

ESPD: +- Track the inquiries from the period of red tape and attempt to keep as many safety precautions as possible.

ESPO: - Investigate the attack by Loki's brigade. I want to know if there are any traitors.

WO: +- Leverage the sequestration platforms as an option for nations to use and offer the service for free to urban areas on the assumption it will not be tampered with. Considering the era we live in, air quality in industrialized nations is not something to be envied.

Note: While I did say it was a paradigm shift I used the Shardplate example for a reason. If I can't finish the research in one turn, do the research needed to get me to Shardplate and begin equipping my forces with it. Focused research of a sort I suppose. Also, begin drafting plans for a low orbital fortress designed to integrate the existing superweapon into it.

Shardplate: Shooting for this turn if possible: With the enhanced strength and speed, melee weapons will become viable again because they can close distance and take the hits along the way. Additionally, they can dodge slow fire weapons such as artillery.

More mature version: More then just the properties of infused material, this version incorporates mechanical enhancement. Additionally, the development of this version would include the design of modern weapons suitable for its use.

Fortress: If it is outside the tech level, the fortress/weapon can just be really high altitude. I say low orbital only because it is above the level that zeppelins/airships could reach. Besides needing to be air tight and pressurized, they also use my heavier then air technology to go to a point where a lighter then air vehicle would not be able to ascend due to the low air pressure.
