(BIG NOTE IF YOU ARE TOO LAZY TO READ THROUGH ALL THE RP: The hole is a thruster, not a super laser!) A new dawn now rises for the Swissreich. A legacy of greatness is awaiting us. This… is Project 1. Project 1, nicknamed “Project Hygiea” is a project that the Swissreich has been developing in the past few projects, “Hygiea”, and “Solar Panels :3”. This project aims, as stated in “Solar Panels :3”, to “Turn Hygiea into a machine.” Hygiea is our 1 space colony (unless you are counting io which we claim but have not yet made any settlements). Due to it’s loneliness in our space empire, we have decided to bolster it up to the max. Underneath the layer of solar panels covering the entire construct, there is a large gap to the ground that was simply used as an area for the workers to stand. This area will now become a large room area to operate the the thing, along with quarters to build stuff and the workers to live and operate. A visible rectangle is shown in the upper part of the illustration. This is the docking bay for star destroyers, and it is currently open in the illustration as the star destroyer below it is about to dock. You may also see multiple cannons sprinkled onto the construct, these cannons work by sucking up electricity in the form of electrons, then chucking them at such a high velocity that instead of passing in between atoms and molecules like they’d usually do, they slam straight into them and cause visible damage. Multiple of these firing together can cause even more damage. Now, onto the giant hole. Due to newton’s 3rd law of physics, “every action has an equal and opposite reaction”, trying to do this would cause the construct to shoot in the other direction, as the action id using the construct to shoot the laser, this causes the equal reaction, where the particles move in the direction they are being pushed, and the opposite reaction, which is the construct getting pushed in the other direction. But we can use this as an advantage. Making the hole into a thruster, this time, the electrons are still shot fast enough that, even if they may not smash into atoms, they can move the construct— or minor planet, in the opposite direction. This is helped by the fact that the hole is thousands of times bigger than the cannon, which makes the opposite reaction… more pronounced. Boom… newton comes to the rescue! We will not currently be moving the construct anywhere, but in times of need, we will use it. Some side notes: -This will act as a “mothership” of sorts -the illustration is not to scale, in reality, Hygiea is about 450 kilometers in diameter, so the star destroyers and docking bay are not to scale. Even the cannons aren’t drawn to scale. -and for all of you saying “you can’t just build that all right now”, I have already built everything in the past projects, this is just explaining it. -Hygiea isn’t perfectly round, and neither is this, it’s just not very noticeable of a difference.
