do we drill for oil in the future?

[Zynth]

To quote the wiki...

Industrial economies rely heavily on the abundance of natural fuel oil to power engines, produce electricity, and manufacture a wide variety of products.

It does not state that only Gallia uses Oil as fuel.

BUT, it does state it uses fuel to power engines.
BUT, it does not state what sort of engine. Could be cars or some land transport.

Well, were talking 1000 years in the future now. I wouldn't be surprised if they've found a more efficient way to create octane from other materials. Maybe they just threw a few carbon and hydrogen atoms in a pot and found that it worked better.

Send the fat kid in to see if its a trap

Trying to find logic in Gallia? :lol:

That haystack is easily the size of Columbia.
And the haystack is made of razor wire.

no, this destroyed my belief in gallia. I have concluded gallia is just a hallucination.


i mean.....just.....LOL

Did you forget that gravity don't exist in freelancer ?

I'm rather a fan of Tenny's points, that things run on electricity (which I'd quibble with, but a jule is a jule) You can create force however you want, and we've this flawed assumption that speed would require more and more energy, which is fine until you bring in the fact that we're dealing with FTL in a lot of cases anyway: Causality is already being violated. Once you've got causality violated, you don't actually need to move very fast, or expend much energy...and fusion cores are much more expensive than combustive motors.

By the way, cold fusion is stupid. In terms of energy production, anyway. Costs more energy than it produces. But, it does provide a method for alchemy.


Oh, and Gallia is retarded. The whole story behind it has holes the state of Texas could fit through, the society is ridiculous, and the math is wrong. We're probably best off thinking about Rhienland, where things are at least internally coherent.

use nanites, not people.

Or ants! You genetically engineer ants to find logical structures. They wander all over the haystack, build nests over the logical parts. You scan it for infrareds, and where the ants are clustered, that's the logic.

Myself, I'd lay money on a smooth distribution of ants.

Taking the metaphor too far? Just one of the services I offer.
