In recent years house Kusari has been plagued by wars, with Bretonia, Galia and more recently Rheinland.
With Rheinland breaching the Honshu system, the need for an ‘ace in the hole’ has become all too apparent.
Kusari has always had the technological edge over the other houses thanks to our company, and it’s time we bring that to the next level.
Modern power cores generally make use of the common power sources found throughout the houses;
the problem with this being that this energy is finite and needs resupplying sooner or later, this is a limitation that has held back countless endeavors.
But…What if we had access to all the power we needed at any moment without risk of running out?
Project MIRROR seeks to achieve just that; full sized power cores that generate all the energy we need to sustain Kusari’s power needs without relying on anyone or anything else,
besides Kishiro staff of course, to keep running. Imagine if you will, countless universes existing in parallel to our own.
Universes with massive changes, or tiny ones, ones where Rheinlanders might have been civil, or one where you just so happened to wear a different color shirt today.
The goal of Project MIRROR will be to not only make a basic ‘connection’ of sorts to these universes, but to siphon energy from there to power Kusari.
Needless to say, this is an ambitious project to say the least, but that is what we at Kusari are best at; creating the future.
Project description and desired end product
Multidimensional energy siphoning is somewhat of a new field for Kishiro and Sirius in general.
That said, the Hyperdrive technology appears to be a promising starting point, further research
into modifying the science behind it into something applicable for our cause would be the first step.
Second would be how to contain the energy siphoned, we wouldn’t want to start siphoning energy
without having a proper storage unit prepared. Once the issue of power storage has been resolved it will be
time to put theory into practice and establish a connection to begin siphoning power on a small scale to test.
Upon completion Project MIRROR will be able near infinite sustainable energy by siphoning it from these other universes,
completely alleviating any energy dependency from both foreign and domestic entities, besides Kishiro, of course.
Project Justification
Providing near infinite energy will, metaphorically, rocket launch Kishiro ahead of the local competition in Samura,
not to mention fully eclipse the tech of other houses, ensuring exclusive contracts and the energy required to fuel any more ambitious
designs we may have in the future.
Desired results of the project
MIRROR is expected to generate a large amount of good will with the public,
enhance the Kusari military and provide exclusive contracts for Kishiro Industries as a whole.
Additionally, MIRROR’s power generation will fuel future projects that are currently impossible due to power constraints.
Budget Overview
Phase one: Acquisition of equipment and materials.
Estimated Budget for phase 1: 500 million credits
300.000.000 credits as estimated costs for acquiring a Jump Drive MK2 or 3, which will play an instrumental role in the research phase of MIRROR.
50.000.000 credits in Energy field equipment: A vast amount will be required to contain the vast amounts of energy we're projecting to contain.
50.000.000 credits in Uranium: Used as fuel to power the needed machines, as such the project team will require a large amount of said resource over the course of development.
25.000.000 credits in Tungsten: One of the sturdiest materials currently known to man, we will need a significant amount to construct the devices needed for MIRROR.
25.000.000 credits in Molybdenum: This material will allow us to ensure the power core will be as temperature resistant as possible
25.000.000 credits in Iridium: The main resource the project team will be using to construct the battery, its durability is unparalleled and will be needed to resist the amounts of uranium used.
25.000.000 credits in Niobium: Acting as an efficient superconductor at lower temperatures, this will allow for a far more efficient initial startup, as well as providing aesthetically pleasing lights once the temperature rises.
Phase two: Preliminary field tests.
Estimated Budget for phase 2: 250 million credits
150.000.000 credits in wages and ship maintenance spread over 100 test runs.
100.000.000 credits in beacons to be jumped and retrieved during the test runs.
Phase three: Jump Pad construction and experimentation.
Estimated Budget for phase 3: 1 billion credits.
500.000.000 credits in materials required for the construction of two Jump Pads according to the design.
250.000.000 credits in needed equipment and staff wages to properly monitor and process collected data.
250.000.000 credits in safety precautions, non disclosure agreements and on site security.
Phase four: Jump Pad experiments with organic matter.
Estimated Budget for phase 4: 250 million credits
100.000.000 credits in organic materials, read; food items, for organic material testing.
150.000.000 credits in wages and maintainance costs for security.
