Trans-Newtonian Technology

It is imperative that we establish a more robust and comprehensive theory of Trans-Newtonian physics. The minor research done up until this point has been promising, but a large-scale, dedicated, systematic approach may open dozens of new avenues of investigation.

Asteroid Mining Module

TNEs allow for massive miniaturization, to the point that the actual mining equipment of an automated mine can be packed onto a ship hull. These ships are only able to mine from asteroids, since the lower gravity allows the ship to use relatively weak station keeping thrusters to maintain position over the asteroid, much like some varieties of oil rig did in the early 21st century.

Jumpgate Construction

After experimentation with transient wormholes in a laboratory settings, a method was found to stabilize the wormholes using pulsed ICEF fields to tease the singularity open along the Trans-Newtonian dimensions. A final application of TN radiation when the rift is large enough cements it into place in our own dimensions. The process must be done extremely precisely and carefully, which translates to performing it slowly. Estimates are that it would take 180 days to stabilize a real-world wormhole.

Defensive Systems

Armor

Technology	Research Cost	Research Date	Researcher	Description
Duranium Armor	Researched	14th July 2025	Dr. Magicboots	TNE researchers discovered that a simple duranium slab, when treated with a high-frequency AC electric current, becomes dozens of times harder and more impact resistant than even the strongest pre-TNE materials, making it a valuable armoring material. Curiously, duranium does not exhibit the ICEF effect, and this technique is more akin to tempering steel.
High Density Duranium Armor	2500			Following on from his development of the first practical Duranium armors, Dr. MagicBoots theorizes that while duranium itself does not exhibit the ICEF effect, applying a strong ICEF field force to cooling tempered duranium may compress the material into a higher density format, allowing better protection for a reduced amount of material.
