An Unscientific Mechanic

"Reproducible nanorobots? How can this kind of thing destroy the Federation?" General Garp was still cheerful, and took the PDA that Ian handed to him.

"Self-propagation of phagocytic materials, the ability to manipulate molecular structures, swarm intelligence, and accelerated manufacturing processes... It looks good, so where is the harm? Are workers unemployed?"

"The danger is that on the day when you and other high-ranking officials lose their minds, you use the nanomachine cluster as a weapon and throw it into the war. In the end, the nanomachine cluster went berserk and led to the extinction of mankind. It's not once or twice." Ian's expression was rare. "If we follow the history I know, this world will also develop weapons based on nanomachine clusters in 200 years, destroying alien invaders and human civilization."

"Do you mean that there will be an alien invasion in 200 years?" General Garp was no longer happy, and sat looking directly at Ian.

"I don't know, that work is set in this universe, but it's completely black history, and the specific timeline doesn't match up, but it's the follow-up of the Universal Century, with the discovery of alien MS, and the nano-machine group going to war , continue to use Minovsky particles, and the Universal Century will be destroyed, these are correct." Ian thought about the content of turn A whose memory had been blurred. "It should be around 200 years. The beam rifle with a single shot that is as powerful as the main gun of a battleship, and the Minovsky particle flying device used by ms, are not particularly difficult things. They can be used for several years when the Federation is extremely corrupt. It can be developed within ten years, there is no reason why it cannot be developed faster now.

But... Another part of my memory tells me that the Federation disintegrated around 0220 for reasons I forgot."

Ian vaguely remembered seeing a chronology of the universe century, but forgot the specifics.

"0220... It's really a short-lived regime, but since it has the opportunity to expand its territory and go to deep space, the federation shouldn't be so short-lived.

Why don't you talk about the benefits of that nano-robot, it's not enough to just talk about threats. "

"For example, at the enterprise level, after improving the production line, the shortest production time is close to 3 months, but if nano-robots are used, if the fleet is sufficient, it may be like two or three days.

For materials that are difficult to produce such as Luna titanium alloy, the production difficulty is no different from that of 304 stainless steel. Nano-robots will rebuild the material from the molecular level.

For new technologies, such as the jump engine I am building, the test machine can be seen on the same day the development is completed.

For ship maintenance, it is enough to spray the nano-machine fleet on the wound, and the fleet will automatically repair the ship's wound according to the program, which is no different from the new one.

If the technology is mature, nano-robots are also excellent medical devices, and terminal illnesses should disappear. If the organ is diseased, it can be reconstructed directly from the molecular level, which cannot be achieved by the living dead, and the flesh and bones are still no problem. "

"Wait, jump engine? The Star Wars and Star Trek kind of thing that flies light-years away at once?"

"That's right, although it's temporarily impossible to fly away for several light years at once..."

"Then let's go ahead and develop it. As for the problem of the out-of-control fleet, it seems that the current federation cannot destroy the world. The nuclear weapons in active service of the federation are enough to destroy human beings hundreds of times, and this time is not bad."

"You are the boss and you decide." Ian shrugged. "The job of asking people for money is left to you."

"By the way, Ian-kun, if that nanorobot goes into war against Zeon..."

"Don't bully people, the second batch of enterprise-level and new-style Salamis are already a generation behind Zeon's Musai, and now it's not so much a war as it is a beating of disobedient children. If you invest in new technology, it will basically be a massacre." Ian replied angrily. "Once the technology is mature, the cost of producing a 5,000-ton warship and 5,000 tons of cement is the same. How can you let Zeon fight? You can even throw the fleet into the asteroid belt to self-proliferate and build warships, even the cost is gone. , It will be a full fleet in two months. Instead of thinking about how to beat Zeon, it is better to think about how to carry out deep space exploration and space colonization."

Ian left General Garp's office while rambling.

"By the way, please remember that you are not alone. God knows when the Super Galactic Empire will come out and say it." Ian suddenly turned around and added.

"I know, I know, you can go about your business." General Garp waved Ian away.

"And more..." Ian pushed open the office door again. "Have you ever heard of Syam Vist?"

General Garp nodded stiffly with the phone in his hand.

"Threatened?"

nod nod.

"Bring it back as soon as possible, new types will inevitably appear, and there will be more and more. It is estimated that in more than ten years, all newborns born in the universe will be new types. Anyway, the scandal was caused by people 79 years ago. "

This time Ian really wandered back to the institute.

General Garp picked up the phone again after confirming that Ian had left at the office window.

"Chairman Marthelas, find a time to meet. Are you coming to South America or should I go to Washington?"

"What's wrong?"

"The Federation may also have a chance to continue the deep space program."

"Deep space program? You mean the outer space exploration program that was shelved 50 years ago? Wasn't it shelved because the spaceship failed to meet the planned performance?"

"Maybe the performance requirements will be met soon..." General Garp said leisurely. "Maybe it's even over-performing."

"Oh? Tell me about it."

"Yi Anjun is developing the jump engine, and is preparing to develop a nanomaterial that can completely liberate the Federation's productivity. If I understand correctly, the future productivity of the Federation can be considered infinite."

"You are too much, I will put the deep space plan on the agenda, and use the excuse that the Federation is building a spaceship with a speed close to one-tenth of the light beam. Let's talk about the rest after the results come out." Bian is not quite convinced that such a revolutionary material will ever emerge.

"Then you should prepare in advance. If it is really as good as he said, the appearance of nano-robots will have a fatal blow to the existing industrial system."

"Then it's fine not to put it into the market. When you see that a new technology will replace the existing technology overnight, it's all done step by step."

"...Cut, I was too excited and forgot about it. Let's talk about it when there is a result."

--Dividing line--

A few days later, Ian left Gabro Base and took a special plane to the Federal Nanomaterials Research Center in France.

There, the best scientists in the Federation who are good at nanomaterials, robot control, molecular structure and other technologies gather here.

After stepping out of the plane, there were already a group of scholars in white coats or military uniforms waiting for Ian on the tarmac. This group of people stared at Ian as he walked down the stairs.

"It seems that you already know what we are going to do. We may open the door to the future, or we may directly destroy the Federation. If you don't make up your mind to become a sinner of the Federation, leave here as soon as possible and return to your original subject. "

Seeing that everyone was indifferent, Ian was a little puzzled.

"You should understand that the impact of nano-robots on the existing industrial system, currency system and other basic systems is devastating."

"The reason why scientists develop new technologies is that the technology is waiting to be developed. Political matters are for politicians to consider."

"Let's go then. I'll send you the basic theory later, and we'll study the specific techniques slowly."

"But the most basic and basic thing is that we need to integrate carbon nanotubes. Is there anyone who is good at carbon nanotube technology?"

There was an awkward silence...

"Hey..." Ian felt a little bit pained. "Anyone you recommend?"

"Actually, we all know a little bit. Carbon nanotubes are basically the basic technology of nanotechnology-related industries..." a scholar next to him whispered.

"Okay then, let's get it started first, and if necessary, we'll find someone." Ian didn't know how much the meeting would be, what if there was a big cow in this group of people?

Then, Ian understood what it means to be able to understand some basic technologies. This group of people basically has a thorough understanding of nanotube technology. In this world, nanotube technology has been used for more than 200 years...

"You guys are so self-effacing..." Ian looked at this group of people, everyone can figure out the nano-robot technology he deduced from the nano-materials of the Sea Mist Fleet, and some of the bosses have already made great achievements. Going a step further, I started designing a nanometer-sized computer, and I felt extremely frustrated.

There is no way that the information of nanomaterials in the system can be attributed to the public information. Ian does not understand the origin and basic technology... He can only deduce the prototype of nanomaterials from the sea fog armor material that has been used for hundreds of years. This is no less difficult. Because the transistor display is deduced from the LCD display... Of course, from the perspective of the time span, it should be the principle of reversing the ancient firecrackers from the antimatter bomb...

When Ian was in full swing in the research and development of nano-robots, the war between the Federation and Zeon reached a new stage.

"Are you sure?"

"Confirmed, the Mars resident fleet of the Zeon Army robbed the Jupiter fleet. Under the desperate resistance of Jupiter Reese 1 and its escort fleet, only two storage tanks filled with helium 3 were lost."

"Oh, it's just lost..." Rebil hesitated for a few seconds before he couldn't hold back the PDA in his hand and threw it at the face of the reporting staff officer. "If I remember correctly, one storage tank of Helium 3 is enough to make a fusion bomb that can turn the Earth into scorched earth."

"Strictly speaking, it can also blow up all the colonies by the way." The staff officer added casually.

"Where did all the Helium 3 go?" Rebir put down the PDA and rubbed his temples. Damn my brain hurts.

"Half of it has been transported to Axis, and the other half is being transported to Fort A Ba Waku according to the forecast of the fleet's orbit. In addition, Axis will enter the Earth's circle in one month, and it will arrive in about 37 days. Zeon native land."

"One month...that is to say, February 0080. The time for the decisive battle has come. Let the fleet raise its alert level and be ready to start the decisive battle at any time."

After 30 days, Axis was captured by the gravity of the earth, and the astronomical telescopes used by ordinary households on the earth can see the front of Axis cross at the right time.

Returning with Axis is the Mars resident fleet of the Zeon Army. On the same day, Axis broadcast on the full band of the earth circle: "I am back, Sieg Zeon!"

He made a high-profile announcement of his own presence. On the same day, the Zeon fleet swarmed out of the A Ba Vaku fortress. The number of improved Musai ships that could be observed exceeded 150, Gwakin 7 ships, and the imitation Magellan class exceeded 100 ships. 30 ships, and 2 super-large aircraft carriers Doros class, more than 500 simple ms, more than 300 Zaku 2 improved models, more than 100 Damo, more than 150 Warriors, more than 40 MA Bigelow, and more than 40 Da Zam 6 units, the appearance is similar to the ma9 unit of Apsas 3. Facing such a huge fleet, the First and Third Fleets of the Federal Army set out urgently from the lunar base and Luna II to support the Second Fleet stationed on side3.

The Second Fleet led by Tianmu left the minimum resident fleet, and all set sail to join the Third Fleet departing from the base on the moon. Even if all new ships have been replaced, it will take a day for the First Fleet to arrive at Side3 from the Luna II on the other side of the earth.

When the second and third fleets were preparing to face the Zeon fleet off the coast of side3, the Zeon fleet turned to side5, Loum. Threatening a Second Battle of Britain as a salute to the return of Axis and the Martian garrison.

There is no way, the Federation Fleet can only turn to the Lumu Space Domain. Prepare for an encounter with the Zeon fleet off the coast of Loum.

At this time, the second and third fleets have been refitted and reorganized. Each fleet has 16 enterprise-class ships with 4 formations, 32 aviation-type salamis with 8 formations, and 32 artillery-type salamis. Sri Lanka, 16 Lepanto-class guided missile frigates, 2 Honeycomb-class large aircraft carriers, and 8 Columbus-class aircraft carriers. Carry more than 384 Killer Whales 2 and the same number of ms of various models. The replaced Magellan-class and old-style Salamis will be reorganized into the Reserve Fourth Fleet and the First Teaching Fleet after upgrading.

"Mr. Tianmu, the size of the fleet is evenly matched..." Vice Admiral Huaken, the admiral of the Third Fleet, connected with Tiam, the admiral of the Second Fleet, in CIC.

"Yeah, the scale is evenly matched." Tianm broke out in a cold sweat as he looked at the statistical results of the Zeon fleet's military strength.

"Now the two fleets are heading in a V-shape. Here, our first enterprise-class ship enters the effective range. At this point, the last enterprise-class ship enters the effective range. If we don't slow down, the Zeon fleet will speed up At a relative speed of 45 kilometers per second, it will directly rush into the side5 universe. That will have catastrophic consequences."

"Zion's fleet can't come out with great fanfare just to commit suicide. According to the performance of Musai in the past, the expected place of engagement is here. It is impossible for us to destroy a battleship sailing at full speed. The consequences of a wrecked battleship hitting the colony will be catastrophic. "

"Let's take a step at a time. The crew of my Second Fleet are relatively familiar. Let's go to the front of the Zeon Fleet to grab the T head. Your Third Fleet pulls up from the side to attack the formation and attack the enemy fleet from the flanks."

"Okay, be careful."

"Hmph, you need to say, the fleet speeds up, the engine is overloaded, the power is 120%, and it rushes to the front of the Zeon fleet!" Tiam turned the military cap 180 degrees and put it on his head. "It's time to hunt!"
