Triumviral Products/JaxCorp Co-Op: BUY NOW! NEW PRODUCT!

18-12-2003, 01:35
The Brand-New Jax-Tritanium Armor Casing 7 [Jax-TAC7 or TAC7]. Now available for international sale! A new development from a combined effort between Triumviral Products and JaxCorp.

The TAC7 is a revolution in missile design. The extremely popular JaxMi2 missiles have long been a mainstay in the ballistics market, but have always lacked the ability to protect itself from attack. A well-placed bomb could detonate it at any time, which was a severe hazard, especially in considering the power of a Jax explosion.

As most of you know, JaxMi2 missiles are a mainstay in many militaries. The power of a small nuclear reaction with none of the radiation! At their value 2 billion dollar price tag, thousands have been sold. But now a new revolution in the design of the missile has been created, one that will not soon fall away!

The TAC7 weighs 1.8 tons, stands at a height of 28 meters, with the cylindrical upper torso of 11 meters of the body having a diameter of 214 centimeters. The mid-torso of the missile is spherical in shape, with a diameter of 435 centimeters. In the center of this sphere is the explosive Jax fluid. The lower torso is 13 meters long and has a diameter of 231 centimeters. Inside this lower torso is a more stable form of the Jax liquid, which is used as fuel.

There is a framework steel shaping of the TAC7, however, the casing of the missile is in the radioactive Tritanium compound [OOC: Chemical specifications of which can be reached by telegramming me], which is the strongest alloy in the known world [OOC: Modern-tech].

This outer casing, 17 centimeters in width, has been witnessed as taking a direct hit from an RPG with minor damage. .5cal sniper rifles are meaningless to the material. There has been only one infantry-mounted weapon known to damage the armor, and that is the extremely powerful Javelin anti-armor weaponry. However, even this damage did not violate the missile far enough or at the correct angle to ignite the Jax.

One question you may be asking is this: How do you keep the Jax from reacting with the Tritanium itself? Jax has been well-documented as exploding in impressive fashion when coming into contact with any radioactivity. Well, besides our normal anti-radioactive polymers built around the Jax launch barrel, the TAC7 missile is filled with separation neon, Ne, to prevent reactions. This inert gas is at a constant pressure of 60 PSI, or 413 Kpa. This pressure is high enough to prevent reactions from occurring within the missile shell. And once the jax is out of the shell, you don’t really want to stifle the explosion, do you?

This missile is guaranteed to hit within 300 meters of its target, and absolutely destroys anything within 1.5 miles of the explosion. It leaves severe damage within a much larger radius, however, the 1.5 mile distance is completely leveled.

Price: $3,200,000,000 each. Currently only 5,000 in existence, will build more if requests are high enough.

Bump, with a new tagline. I believe it speaks for itself.

I will also purchase 10 of these warheads. Just making sure, are they nuclear or not? Kind of need to know. Either way, I want them.

They are not nuclear. Order accepted. Products shipped.

Um, in the reaction you are talking about, I don't think xenon would work. You see, being an inert gas with 8 electrons, it wouldn't accept any of the protons and electrons coming off a radioactive substance. NaOH would be great-it metabolizes with a proton to form H20 and Na+ which would accept an electron to form Na..


EDIT: I forgot electrons dont come off radioactive substances, but they would when struck by neutrons. The only reason your Jax element would react with a radioactive element is if Jax decayed into different isotopes readily. (Which, ironically enough, might classify it as a radioactive substance!) The neutrons would hit the Tritanium, giving off electrons and protons. Better?

I was using Neon, actually, but same idea. Neon has a stronger shielding effect. And the neon is so highly pressured that it prevent reactions from occuring inside the casing.

You know what i noticed? This BUMPing is bringing my post count up quite a bit. :twisted:

And a bump bump here, and a bump bump there.
