Como superar a fatiga da escrita?
Cada escritor tem seu processo, no meu caso, eu tenho muita dificuldade de planejar uma história do começo ao fim, para mim, é muito mais fácil planejar capítulos individuais do que necessáriamente a história toda.
Porém, quando eu estou trabalhando por 1, 2, 3 meses no mesmo manuscrito, a vontade de continuar, de terminar a história acaba sempre morrendo.
Como lutar contra essa fadiga? Existe alguma técnica, algum método, algo para lidar com esse cansaço que mata as histórias antes delas nascerem?
Neutron-Warheads: Pocket sized nukes for airless worlds.
Neutrogivas or NT-Warheads are, in short, munitions that uses Single-use, high energy density SMES to ignite a D+T fusion, allowing the creations micro nuclear explosives that can be used to full effectivness in airless battlefields.
The standard 50 Kg warhead carries very little D+T , with most of its mass being SMES and the ignition system, but when detonated, it generates an explosion similar to 21 Tons of TNT.
80% of that energy is in form of Fast neutrons capable of penetrating most armor.
I belive that i need to refine the calculation for lethal radious, but the first calcs i did, put the lethal dose around 200 meters for anyboy.
Any questions or help to fine tune the math are welcome!.
Tau Fusion: How to fit a reactor inside warmachine.
The wild dream since the days of nuclear fusion is a truly aneutronic fusion reactor.
In reality, however, no fusion reaction is completely aneutronic, primarily because of unavoidable side reactions that produce neutrons and other forms of harmful radiation.
So, comes the Tau Reactors.
Tau Reactors are an essentially black-box technology, representing one of the first major breakthroughs achieved by an Artificial General Intelligence in energy generation.
It is based on a D+3He reactor, normal D-3He have significant side reactions that sill produce neutron and very high energy photons, however, Tau reactors allow a step further, minimizing so much the side reactions that allow the whole powerplant to be much ligther.
This dramatic reduction in penetrating radiation enables the construction of extremely compact, high-energy-density reactors, achieving a specific power of approximately 1 MWe per metric ton of the complete reactor system, including power conversion equipment, containment, and shielding.
Tau reactors, however, are not infinitely scalable, as the reactor grows, its total energy output may grow, but its energy density does not. Besides other factors, we start to see that the Side products of the fusion start to grow steadily, requiring more mass to be properly shielded.
In the 100-1000 MW range, Tau Reactors actively become comparable to conventional reactors.
Despite their high manufacturing cost, Tau Reactors remain economically viable for use in mechs, ground vehicles, spacecraft, and other mobile platforms where conventional nuclear reactors would be impractical due to their shielding, mass, and volume requirements.
Unobtainium or Handwavium: Trying to find one for my setting.
While trying to find power sources for some mechs, I was also looking for handwaves for the different tiers of mechs in the setting, ranging from the less advanced to the more advanced.
The cool thing about expanding your handwavium as an author is that you can set more limitations and find different ways to spice up the story. So, I would like the aid of more informed people, as well as insight into things I may miss in my handwaves that could be interesting for the story.
1 - Super SMES Mechs (Batterymechs)
With a room-temperature superconductor based on carbon allotropes, high-density SMES became not only viable but also portable. 20 MJ/kg SMES are already used for everyday civilian uses in cars and large portable devices like notebooks.
Advancements in precise manufacturing allowed military-grade SMES to push up to 45 MJ/kg, allowing Mechs and Tanks to share the battlefield for much longer than before.
Some more advanced models use counter-magnetic fields to counteract the expansion caused by the SMES's magnetic field, resulting in denser models.
In general, Batterymechs aren't the flying, dashing heroes; they are the grunts of Mech warfare. As infantry, they tend to be vulnerable to heat throwers.
If a Batterymech heats up badly, the SMES can lose their conductivity and suffer a catastrophic explosion. Heat, as always, is the main enemy of such large machines.
It is not uncommon to see squadrons of Batterymechs equipped with powerful heat throwers when they are expected to fight their peers.
2 - Tardymechs
The main problem with shoving a reactor inside a mech isn't building it; it's getting the pilot to survive the radiation dosage.
So, why not change the pilot to survive?
Those are the Tardigrade pilots, of course. "Tardigrade" isn't a very scientifically accurate word, as they have more in common with radiotropic fungus than the animal, but hey, the name stuck.
They start to have the energy density to do some of the more impressive things Nukecore tanks and Mechs are generally known to do: they are faster, more agile, and can power a lot of point-defense weapons.
Of course, the barely shielded reactor is enough to keep the systems safe and the pilot healthy. However, it isn't very environmentally friendly. While the mech is cheap(er), the infrastructure to maintain one is not; you can't just shove one of those inside a normal bay. Or have it fight in an urban landscape—one of the best places to use a mech.
So, the cost of this mech is more about cleaning the mess it leaves rather than the mech itself.
For short wars and campaigns, it tends to be stellar, though.
3 - TauMechs
The wild dream since the days of nuclear fusion is a truly aneutronic fusion reactor.
Of course, reality is that no true form of aneutronic fusion exists, especially because of side reactions.
That is when the Tau-Reactors came into play.
Tau reactors are a black-box type of tech, one of the first advances made by Artificial General Intelligence before the first interstellar ark ships. It is a D+He3 reactor that produces mostly Alpha particles in the form of radiation. While it still produces neutrons and other harmful radiations, the fraction is so low that it becomes manageable with much less mass.
Very energy-dense reactors become viable with safe shielding, around the density of 1 MWt/ton.
While expensive, they are still cost-effective to put on both mechs and other ground vehicles.
4 - IronMechs
Sometimes, matter is not made up of electrons, neutrons, and protons; sometimes, it is made of neutrons, protons, and negatively charged stable exotic particles.
Some of them are well-known, Muon, Tau, Higgsinos, etc. but many of those are unstable and exist for so little time that they can't be studied.
Until they discovered a process that creates Stable Massive Leptons (SML), also known as DAU (from the three scientists that discovered the process around the same time).
Most of them are too heavy to be useful. If you yank two electrons from the good old H₂ and put some SML on them, the atoms would be so small that the chance of them fusing would grow very, very fast.
Put them into a heavier atom, and it may divide into two smaller ones—even those that don't normally do that.
So, most SMLs are only stable when paired with nuclei that don't generate energy by fusing or fissioning—mostly, Iron. And most micro-nuclear reactors incorporated DAU Iron into their shielding.
That is where they get their nickname, but as with many nicknames, it isn't entirely accurate.
Some SMLs allow the creation of DAU Hydrogen—dense enough to act as a more effective shield overall against neutrons, solid at very, very high temperatures, and not fusing on a useful timeline (around thousands of years).
The whole idea is to use DAU Hydrogen and DAU Tungsten as more mass-effective shielding overall, as they can get much closer to the core, allowing a saving in mass by having a smaller volume to shield.
As a result, Iron mechs have a very dense reactor that is properly shielded from gamma rays and neutrons, while the energy irradiated from the shielding is used to generate tens of megawatts of power for a mech in the 60-70 ton range.
The main problem for Iron mechs is that their shielding dominates the entire cost of building the damn thing, especially because, in the best scenarios, to produce an SML you need at least 3x the energy of the entire mass of the particle. The good thing is that, even if the mech is destroyed to the point that most of it becomes dust, the Iron core will still remain, ready to be used once again.
Another problem is heat dissipation. Tens of megawatts of heat within a single warmachine will turn it into a living hell quite fast, especially when operating in places without an atmosphere.
Plasma radiators are usually used in space for those kinds of situations. In atmospheres, the amount of air they need to circulate is so great that some of them are capable of using it as a form of propulsion.
Of course, because Tanks and other vehicles don't possess the same ~~Plot armor~~ M.E effect that makes mechs so useful, they still remain a mech-exclusive thing.
5 - MagnoMechs
Magnetic monopoles for mechs!
A small reactor of (relatively) light monopoles (around 10E4 GeV) is trapped inside a Magmatter cage (also made of magnetic monopoles). Normal matter will enter the cage already ionized; then, the baryonic decay will turn the mass of the protons and neutrons into gamma rays, which will be reflected inside the cage until the imperfections of the Magmatter cage allow it to irradiate as a less harmful and more useful radiation.
They are the legendary mechs everyone thinks of the ones that go flying across the sky, with immense plasma wings of radiators, powered by gigawatt-scale mass-to-energy conversion.
Of course, only one has been produced. Even if they were that effective, the cost is simply too high compared to other mechs.
Anyway, i have fun trying diferent forms of handwaviums and Unobtainiums to make the mech go fast.
What other handwaviums should I look into? Do you know any other that can be added to the list that can be fun to build something around?
Normaly the handwave of just "it just does it" normaly don´t help me much building thing around it.
Why I do it the hard (sci-fi) way? Because of him.
My Hopes surges once again when I saw GunBuster and Knights of Sidonia in the list. One day.
One day....
Planejamento de Livro lido vs Livro narrado
No momento, eu estou na fase do primeiro rascunho, descobri que , embora o método de criar o outliner de um livro completo seja algo que me trava mais do que me ajuda, consigo criar um outliner individual para cada capítulo, assim, eu consigo andar na produção.
Até ai tudo bem.
Porém, tenho uma questão: Como sou uma pessoa bastante audiovisual, eu pretendo também lançar o livro em formato de audiobook ao mesmo tempo.
E no processo de planejamento isso surgiu uma duvida a respeito da existência metodologias voltadas a textos narrados do que apenas textos pensados para serem lidos.
Existe alguma dica voltada a produção de obras pensadas para serem lidas em voz alta?
[OC] MECHANAUT: Turning the impossible into the inevitable
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO YOUR OWN BODY: By Brasa
There are no conscripts in the Republican Defense Force, every single citizen in the ranks decided of their own heart to defend the three pillars with their own lives.
It is common knowledge that the universe don´t care if we are living or not, hell, sometimes it seems that it is actively trying to turn our blood as cold as ice.
So, we need to get as many advantages as we can while fighting in the such hostile environment.
That is why you get the suit, you get the R.A.L , and that is why you also can get genomods.
Most of the genomods the RDF will preserve your appearance; you will still resemble the same person when we are finished. Well, you will have iron abs, though. Just that your bones will not break due to a 3 year long deployment against an asteroid guerrilla, your muscles will not turn into mush because you had to fight across a planetoid, nor will you turn into a walking cancer for piloting a nuclear tank.
However, many people will object to have their bodies changed in such a way, and that is ok, the Republic of Abael recognizes their citizens's right to their won bodies, that is why most of the procedures are reversible, and if you object to having your DNA altered, there will always be a sit for drone pilot awaiting for you.
So, tell me, are you ready to be a hero?

VOCÊ TEM DIREITO AO SEU PRÓPRIO CORPO
Na Força de Defesa Republicana não existem recrutas conscritos. Cada cidadão em nossas fileiras decidiu, de coração, defender os três pilares com a própria vida.
É de conhecimento geral que o universo não se importa se estamos vivos ou mortos , aliás, às vezes parece que ele está ativamente tentando nos mandar pra caixa prego.
Por isso, a gente precisa usar toda vantagem possível na hora de lutar em um ambiente tão hostil.
É por isso que você recebe o traje multi ambiente, recebe o RAL. e também pode receber os genemods.
A maioria dos genemods aplicados pela FDR preserva sua aparência; quando você acordar, você vai continuar tão feio quanto entrou.
Bem, vai ficar trincado, isso sim. E também seus ossos não vão quebrar por causa de 3 anos de missão contra uma guerrilha asteroidiana, seus músculos não vão atrofiar porque você teve que lutar em um planetoide menor que seu bairro, e você não vai virar um câncer ambulante por pilotar um tanque nuclear.
No entanto, tem gente que não quer o corpo modificado assim ,e tudo bem. A República de Abael reconhece o direito de cada cidadão ao próprio corpo. Por isso a maioria dos procedimentos é reversível. E se você não quiser ter o DNA alterado de jeito nenhum, sempre vai ter uma vaga de piloto de drone esperando por você.
Então me diz: está pronto para ser um herói?

What is a System?
In the Republic of Abael, a system is a political subdivision, like a county, municipality, or state, instead of just an astronomical system.
Normally, people would assume that both are the same thing, since they have a lot of overlap, with a political system encompassing every unclaimed space up to a light day from the first formal capital of said system, while an astronomical system is largely dictated by the nature and mass of the object in its center.
The Cecília system is an example of a political system.
It is composed internally of free-floating planets, small leftover worlds that orbit the galactic center like any other object in the Milky Way. Earlier measurements back in the Gregorian calendar days estimated a few of them, around 10-70 per star, but only with more interstellar voyagers did we discover the venerable sea of sunless worlds across the gulf between the stars.
The combined mass of the system is less than a single Earth mass, but that didn't stop 3 billion human souls from calling this place home.
And wherever there is a threat to the Republican Dream and the Three Pillars, the Republic Defense Force will walk, for no citizen shall be abandoned to misery, regardless of where he stands.

GUERRA DE SCI FI FIRME: QUANDO O AUTOR SE IMPORTA COM OS NUMEROS E PROPOÇÕES!
A República de Abael é uma nação de 1 ano luz de raio, dominando muitos mundos que viajam no espaço entre as estrelas.
A República é dividida em Satrápias (de 1 mês luz de raio) e sistemas (1 dia luz de Raio) centrado na capital do sistema.
Sistemas em Abael são bem menos densos do que se esperaria encontrar em um sistema estelar comum, fazendo com que as distâncias entre mundos sejam medidas em horas luz em muitos casos.
Como a república mantem sistemas unidos? Quem defende esses sistemas? E o que acontece quando rebeliões e a loucura das estrelas engolem mundos inteiros? É isso que vamos descobrir na história que eu estou escrevendo!
Mecha vai botar vitamina de radiador no escapamento do MBT Hahahahaha
