Scientific Report – Log 7

*the log opens, and you can see Cortana smoking a cigarette*

Well, this is log 7.. day.. I don't know... these steps are extremely worrying me.. if I do one major failure, it could cost many lives... it's tough to implement an artifact and the dark nova compound into the weapon.. but it needs to be done anyway.. So the first step was to plan how I can Implement the Artifact but after some thoughts.. I decided to create an amplifier by scratch... just because of its way easier to create something that is usable for the weapon... the answer is easy every single artifact is unique, so it's not useful for a mass production weapon.

*she looks slightly angry at the camera*

Anyway, the next problem was what should be done with the black Nova compound... since its a fuel moreover, meant to power stuff... well my idea is to test out if its possible to create plasma out of it... so it would be a very powerful weapon.. My calculations said that the weapon itself should be Able to withstand the brute forces of the black Nova compound... I also found out that I would need heat around 6'400°C to create the plasma out of the black Nova compound... but I'm a little bit concerned if this is an excellent idea... if the weapon would get heavily damaged the explosion could be so big that the whole ship gets tiered apart.. So a small "experiment" was needed *she said sarcastically" I Made a cube out of 10 layers titanium and 3 layers ablative hull plating.. I then inserted a small amount of black Nova compound which got heated and microwaved To create plasma.. then a small hyper frequency laser beam got fired on the cube which has penetrated the cube without actually harming it.. well the cube was ehm.. destroyed the ablative hull plating didn't stand a chance, and 7 layers of the titanium were Pulverized.. I even heard some people saying that they have felt the explosion even though they were very far away... and the labor also got a little bit shook... most my stuff here is very messed up now.. *she rolls her eyes* but when they want that dangerous stuff inside their weapons they will get it... from my side it's hazardous even when you compare it to the power the Black Nova compound has. it was at least possible to test if the plasma is even possible to create like I thought it would... and it even needs a minimal amount to create a lot of plasma this means the weapon can be fired nearly for ever.. So my next step was to create an amplifier by scratch first I made a schema..

So this was quite easy to build, due to my electric knowledge and I had everything here in labor to build a test amplifier. The only annoying thing was the wiring simply because it needed to solder some Wires. Sadly this prototype isn't capable of being built Into the weapon. So the prototype amplifier got tested by sending out a small current of voltage. I was a bit dumb.. while I wanted to measure the electricity at the input of the amplifier I slipped on the metal contact so made a shortcut through my body... it hurt so much that I thought that I got hit by a bullet..*she sighs* sometimes I think that this experiments will Kill me at some point.. Well anyway.. after the second Measure attempt everything looked good.. A a small current got sent in and got a big one out of it it may even be enough to create plasma out of the Black Nova Compound, but I didn't want to try it just because it is a very cheap and unstable construction to use it for weapon itself..

So to create the final version of the amplifier I need some materials.. I will contact my brothers and sister for that and, may even my contractor he may is also usable for that we will see. So for today I'm done with testing *she laughs* well I guess it will never be done, but it's my job for The greater good of the commune *she smiles darkly*

Cortana out.
