Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri Secret Project: The Nano Factory
From the videogame known as Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri, this is the secret project video for The Nano Factory. Secret project details: Cost: 400 Prerequisite Technology: Industrial Nanorobotics Effect: Units can be repaired quickly and completely even when not in base squares. The cost to upgrade units is reduced by 50%. “Industrial Grade Nano-Paste, Planet’s most valuable commodity, can also be one of its most dangerous. Simply pour out several canisters, slide in a programming transponder, and step well away while the stuff cooks. In under an hour the nano will use available materials to assemble a small factory, a hovertank, or enough impact rifles to equip a regiment.” — Col. Corazon Santiago, “Planet: A Survivalist’s Guide” Ripped with HCl’s Wing Commander Movie Player: hcl.wcrevival.de

Now that’s an outcome I enjoy seeing. We trade morals, lives, anything, for efficiency. But maybe that’s just me
@HK47Beta Planet rounds up.
Anyone that wants to see a Alpha Centauri 2 show go to the 2k games techincal support page and report a problem and say “MAKE ALPHA CENTAURI 2! DO IT!” If enough people do it they will have to notice.
@frederikIII You still need raw materials. And as far as we can tell right now, it won’t be instantly constructed tanks. That we can do cheaper with a regular large-scale factory. Small, minute things we have problem with now. Neurosurgery, electronics and other small-scale precision works.
i need that.
@frederikIII
You still need resources to construct Nanobots, nanopaste is useless if your stuff can’t break them down fast enough or at least be able to be carried around safely. You need a program to run these things.
Something tells me that if Nanites become intelligent, they’ll start making aesthetic and functional modifications to the products they were meant to build because they thought we had poor taste. A good example is if they decide to give a toaster a flamethrower and hydraulics because they thought it would make it cooler.
Take a small step back? Did you see that? They tore apart a guy! Ide be running my ass out of there!
@frederikIII I still find it hard blaming a method of production for the existence of small arms. Lots of tech in AC is moving towards post-singularity stuff.
@SusCalvin its more in what you mass produce but your right there is billions of small arms out in the world unlike this one wich is more mobile shall we say?
@frederikIII Got a problem with mass production?
We’re already waist deep in small arms around the globe, that is not a new problem.
What I want to know is what happens if you forget the programming chip. Or if you put on in that tells it to make more copies of itself.
@SusCalvin technology itself dosent scares me its just the fact if this kind of power where to be put in the wrong hand like a terroist group and all they had to do is to push a few button and wait few mins and you get tanks, guns and armor enough to start your own war against a nation if you have the man power for it
@frederikIII Or it could be used to construct edible food out of compost. Or eat chemical spills. Technology isn’t evil, people make the evil happen. Generally, the benefits of a technological society outweigh the risks.
@matsku84 100% and 99.99% is the fine line between the finite energy of today (even if plentiful) and the infinite energy of a perpetuum mobile.
@frederikIII depends on how expensive the nanofactory was.
okay this superweapon scares me just imagine if it was real ? if anyone could just create equipment for a betallion in under a day ? i would say eternal war
Yeah, but that was for large arms. Perhaps it took all the way up until anti gravity technology before they could miniaturize it to rifle form.
@SZenithLee haha I always thought the same
Those dead bodies are useless, let’s make a hovertank or a small factory out of them!
One word: Badass
how do you know that it isn’t using the “plastic materials” to make that stuff? composite armors today use plastic to some degree!
agreed
Probably, but if someone did, he or she had never seen all the 1930s green-skinned space babes whispering “show me more of this Earth thing you call love.”
Lets not.
0:17 epic chinese guy.
EYYYYYYYYYY… PUSAAABAA BOO PAA bushaapie
@DougJuanTed
why would you say that? lol
there hexbug nanos
I think he is saying put it back
cool but what did he say
they are toys but it looks like that factory was illegal
Lmao whos the chinc at the end that has a fit?
any idea what that guy was moaning about at the end?
They’re little robots with small vibrating motors & rubber stubs that act as legs that propel the robot while vibrating. I read about this in ROBOT magazine. They have no computer, no brain; just a battery, a motor, & rubber stub-legs. No paranormal: just robots
what
I doubt this video will be up long, get it while it’s hot
Saved
WHAT ARE THOSE
What are those?
