Scientific Report – Log 1

So, today we decided its time to start a new study.. This study will be about black holes, and we are highly interested in acquiring information and knowledge about them and what they could contain.. We are aware that there are different kind of black holes as I will list now:

So there are four kinds of known black holes

The static not loaded called black shield Metric.

The static loaded called Reissner North electricity Metric.

The rotating not loaded called Kerr-Metric

The rotating loaded called Kerr-Newman-Metric

Due to that knowledge that we already possess, we will need to adjust and function our equipment and ships.. Our idea is to create an unmanned drone that could go as close as possible to the black hole but to achieve this we need a boat that is big enough for all the required upgrades.. our ﬁrst thought fell on one of our cruisers but I decided otherwise because the ship is too big anyway and losing it would hurt our strength.. we then decided to take our ship the Prometheus it is an Aspis Battletransporter.. it should be big enough to hold all the upgrades without more significant problems..

So because we know that black holes can have a magnetic ﬁeld and has radiation we need something that can hold against these threats to the ship. We heard that a combination of the materials nickel cobalt iron manganese chromium could withstand the hardest conditions when it comes to all kinds of radiations. We had to figure out how to deal with a possible magnetic impact on the drone, after some time we thought about to use aluminum due to its non-magnetic reaction but the biggest problem with it is the weak static of Aluminium. So we searched for a method to make it stronger but with the most other materials we bonded it, it lost the non-magnetic ability and was worthless for us.. but Verac my engineer had the idea to make something like a foam out of aluminum, I first didn't know that something like that is a thing but he managed to craft a small piece of the said aluminum foam and what we had from it was a small block that actually looked like foam but the most impressive thing was that the foam could hold around 20 times more pressure than a regular aluminum plate, which was exactly what we needed.. so he told me three different ways to create the foam..

Foams are commonly made by injecting a gas or mixing a foaming agent into molten metal. Melts can be foamed by creating gas bubbles in the material. Usually, bubbles in molten metal are highly buoyant in the high-density liquid and rise quickly to the surface. This rise can be slowed by increasing the
The viscosity of the molten metal by adding ceramic powders or alloying elements to form stabilizing particles in the melt, or by other means. Metallic melts can be foamed in one of three ways:
by injecting gas into the liquid metal from an external source;
by causing gas formation in the liquid by admixing gas-releasing blowing agents with the molten metal;
by causing the precipitation of gas that was previously dissolved in the molten metal.

Furthermore, we came to the point that we also needed a heavy power-upgrade so we can gain enough against thrust, so our drone doesn't get to quick into the black hole.. for that we need a new power core.. but since we don't have access to any bigger ships and we don't want to salvage one of the cores from the cruisers... I might need to use a favor or two, but we really need a nomad power core to make this even nearly possible... yet we would already know how we could isolate the core.. we would "simply" use iridium which has excellent resistance against most kind of radiations. We also thought about to upgrade a new engine or replace it, but this would take way to much time, and we want to start this study as soon as possible.. so we already gave up on that idea for now..

The black hole that we will start to study is the one in Omicron Phi since it the closest one for us, and we might get a bit of assistance when it comes to the point of protection since I don't think that we will be able to do this study without some annoying unworthy beings...

So to start our work on the ship, we need various materials as they will appear now on the screen:
12'000 Units of Iridium
7500 Units of Aluminium
1 Nomad Powercell

I will consider the junkers congress as useful for this kind of work. I hope for fast and complete delivery from them, if needed I will order an escort group to protect them.. The Nomad Powercell will be a different topic, but I'm sure I can somehow acquire it..

Until next time,
Cortana out.
