OOC: This is just a thread to let everyone know what technologies and military research that I have started and doing.
The Empire of Tanthan Technology Information
---------------------------------------------
The Empire of Tanthan's Tech level: Modern-Late modern. (2004-2050)
---------------------------------------------
Huge amounts of funding go into our research and designs, we are aided by an array of supercomputers and data storage devices, every aspect of the technological advancement/creation is a result of long and complex research here at Tanthan's Military & Research Database. Technologies not related to our sole developement are CONFIDENTAL.
Completed Technologies:
-----Electrical Armor
-----Point-defense lasers
-----Heat-to-electricity
Completed Military Projects
-----Laser AA Sites
Completed Construction
-11,000 Laser AA Sites
Research
Anti-gravity drives: DONE! (started Nov. 10th 2004)
A highly mysterious and unusual behavior of elements near 0 degrees K have started this project, with high amounts of energy even the largest objects can float in mid-air, this is still unstable technology and is not practical for most uses. Funds for this project: $100,000,000,000
Point-defense lasers: DONE! (started Nov. 10th 2004)
Break-throughs in recent technology have allowed lasers to be run by less power, even some are able to be put on jet aircraft; because of the power generated by the engines, to offer close-range defense of missiles, while the rest need to draw power elsewhere. The chance of missile being destroyed varies from 30%-75% (some 0%) depending on the type. Funds for this project: $10,000,000,000
Heat-to-electricity: DONE! (started Nov. 12th 2004)
A new breakthrough in science allows electrical power to be generated from heat, which was thought to be unharnessable do to the uncontrolled movement of heat. 60% Efficent. Funds for this project: $1,000,000,000
Heat-to-electricity +10% more efficent: DONE! (started Nov. 16th 2004)
Research goes deeper into the world of heat to electricity transfers and has found a way to make it 10% more efficent, which will save billions in long-term results. Funds for this project: $500,000,000
Electrical Armor: DONE! (started Nov 12th 2004)
With an increase in missiles striking tanks from varied launchers, RPG's or TOW missiles a new defense has to be made. The solution, a strong electric current around the armor plating of the tank which activates only as a missile comes in range, the result the missile exploding BEFORE impact, causing greatly reduced damage and a survivablity of the crew by 70%. This only effects missiles, and some shells, armor piercing rounds and weapons will be unaffected by the strong electrical blast.
Military
Archangel base (part 1 of the fortess): 29/30 (started on Nov. 6th 2004)
The base of a massive flying city, the base is extremely large measuring 3 km wide and a 5 km length with a strong varying height of .25 to 1 km. The building site for this project is just to get it off the ground is hidden away from the world under its ice covered hangar. Technology is still advancing to power this behemoth of the sky, the base will be in what the rest of the project will be build upon in mid-air, other details are classified at the moment. A picture of the hangar will be released later. Funding so far: CLASSIFIED
Laser AA Site: DONE (started on Nov 16th 2004)
Powered by long lines of vast underground power cables these super-powered laser anti-aircraft sites are the mainline of defense for the Empire of Tanthan. Using a high-powered laser it can fire a one-inch laser beam up to 80 km away to destroy missiles and planes heading towards the nation. Can fire a sustained beam for 10 seconds every hour. Costs to build each one $20,000,000.
Sound Shells: DONE! (started on Nov 16th 2004)
Explosive Shells that screech across the battlefield at 140 Db in high-pitched insanity. Causes enemy troops to lose communication, go deaf and possibly die from the sound. The shell also psychologically terrifies troops with its ear-splitting scream from even far away, even ear protection does not protect the user from the intense sound which will still ring at 110 DB, like being in a Heavy Metal Concert. These shells rarely kill, but will cause nearly impossible verbal commands and cause ringing in the ears or deafness to prevent the enemy troops from functioning properly. The first of a series of psychological and physical weapons from Tanthan. Funds for this project: $100,000,000
Immoblizing Foam: DONE! (started on Nov. 16th 2004)
A special foam that is extremely sticky and instantly solidifies on impact. This is an effective anti-vehicle weapon, it will stick with great force to everything it touches, troops, guns, food, the ground, metal, even glass. The foam after being shot from a TOW-Launcher, Tank or large cannon (including battleships) will stick to everything and will solidify in milliseconds, it is unburnable until 8000 degrees F, it won't freeze and break till way below 300 degrees F, chemical solvents have little effect. The only effective chemical against it is specially kept secret by Tanthan. Funds for this project: $400,000,000.
Robotic and Remotely operated control systems: DONE!
Since man-power is costly and inefficent the Empire of Tanthan uses the latest breaking technology behind robots to give the standard robot soldier a 4 times better performance and remotely controlled systems allow even huge aircraft carriers to function without a single human being on board. Each robot breaks down into several groups:
--Warrior Robot, heavy armor and excellent senses and accuracy, a lethal weapon in every aspect.
--Medical Robot, contains terabytes on fixing robots and maintaining them just like a human doctor would care for a patient. At best they can use small arms to defend themselves.
--Technical Robot, maintains ships and other vehicles just like a human, and can barely defend itself.
--Strategic Robots, sometimes these robots will plan attacks based on geographical and force predictions. On home turf these robots which each have preset ideals and thinking patterns will put up an amazing defensive position which can only be matched by the best generals in the military.
All robots have the same parts and design except for a few differences based on jobs. The basic parts are like that of a human, but simpler for cheaper maintaince and faster production, parts like arms and cpu's may be different, but are not critical to a robots well-being and armor placed over them allows for simple repairs and switching of armor for a task as needed. Adaptablity and efficent functioning is the reason why Tanthan's military needs less logistical support and is far larger then most nations. Humans still provide a key force, but it is changing as the years progress. All robots have moderate EMP shielding, have heat and bullet resistant armor, low strength electrical armor.
