Ingenuus R&D: Lab 002

[Remnant]

The hull came together beautifully. I really did not expect a nano-constructor to actually make such a high quality chassis, in the time that it took to do so. I am quite happy with the result, although i'm afraid McCool is quite literary bouncing off walls right now in excitement. The job is not done yet, setting up the internal systems? That's where things get interesting. I admit, heck even I am looking forward to seeing what has been developed put into use practically.

Dr. Johnson seemed quite eager to get some work done, so I had him begin working on the basic computer terminal setups. He's done a very good job so far with stretching the necessary electrical wires across the ship, and interlinking the computer terminals to access the different sections around the ship. Life Support was what he began working on first. After reviewing the documents that he was using to set the thing up with the tech hands we have, I am confident he will do a good job in covering things in the way they need to be.

My initial job, was working on the User Interface. None of the systems you can use from the Neural Net would work, seeing we have a ton of variables we need to account for. Mainly from the equipment surrounding the housing for the power core. After all, that thing is running 85% of the vessel, we need to make sure we can detect any change within the housing. Hours, and hours of programming. My favorite. Thankfully it's not that difficult, merely.. time consuming.

Getting the Interface uploaded, things seemed quite receptive. The only problem, was that I accidentally messed up some of the code. Flipping variables when it shouldn't be. That was a three minute fix thankfully, i'll have one of the others double check my work to make sure things are going to function correctly.

Custom User Interface

Ah, this part is my favorite part. My pride and joy for the Ingenuus Research Facility. The Engine Room. The theories that I put to use dwarfed anything that we were able to use in the past, due to energy requirements that were too high. Guess what? Energy is no problem. The field fluctuation and combination streams used to excite gravitons in the end-chamber, ionizing the thing for positive or negative thrust? I am looking forward to seeing if it works the way I feel it will practically.

Engine Room

This was perhaps one of the harder parts that I had to handle. Engines of this capacity had to be checked. Double checked. Triple checked. And checked one last time. Heck, we almost superheated the entire thing and triggered a meltdown because the angle for one of the tubes was slightly off. Thankfully, the fail-saves i've installed saved the equipment before it was too late. At least we know that it works. Hopefully. I'll be spending quite a bit of time in this room to make sure things are fully operational, especially for the initial test flight. Hope McCool doesn't tell me to go anywhere else.

Well, with any luck, lets hope things go well. I'll write another entry later. I have more work to do.
