Rachel needless to say, gives him a very confused look. Running through a few numbers in her head. The concept he was getting excited over only worked if a generator required a high input energy such as nuclear fusion. Nuclear fission was so much more efficient on a ship such as the one he was trying to make upgrades for.
Isamu shrugs, walking between Winterton and Joe. "Well. A secondary core isn't necessary at all. From what I understand, what you're suggesting is making use of the junk we have currently. Quite frankly, a rebuild would be very much better at getting the thing to work. I have a favor still from Wintertons sister, she's been one to rebuild these sorts of things. Something I was planning to do for a little while now. The ahh.. method that this vessel uses is very interesting. I'm not able to tell much, although visually I can see that the main working here has been keeping the energy 'stable' and not overpowering, rather than actually trying to make an output work. The schematics or information for this will help us in regards of that. Keeping it stable. Not trying to give us the energy requirements which we need right now."
Isamu begins to pace slowly. "Nuclear fusion I assume is what you want to accomplish hearing the idea of a second reactor. If we keep the current as an inner machine, and build on more outside of it.. I suppose your idea could work. Of course it'll be spiratic, although a feedback loop to route away the 'dirty' energy back into the atomic fusion chamber might actually be beneficial. Of course, a feedback loop will have little regulation abilities. That's what I could ask Rachel here about." Looking at the other scientist. Instead of paying too close attention to this scientific marvel, which oh I would love to get my hands on.. To solve our problem, we merely have to get some other information. "
Rachel looked a little.. uneasy with the kiss, rubbing her head gently. Isamu seemed to be on a good track. Then again, he usually was. Afterall, he was one of her rivals for a while in the past.
Max looked at him, running through the ideas in his head
There is a feed in place, running to storage batteries. It's separate from the main system, but you could possibly redesign that for your needs. We could redesign that for what we would need. You are right Isamu, we have worked too much on stabilising, rather than utilising the output. This has, admitedly, proved detrimental to our end result.
Joe suddenly seems to spark up
Hey. No replacing the Ares. She's got character. It'd be like replacing a member of family at this point. Definite no go... For now at least.
He seems to shake his finger to make a point, then crosses his arms, allowing them to continue whilst he listens
Isamu gives Max a dumbfounded look. "Waitwaitwait, hold up a minute. We have a feedback loop installed right now?" Tilting his head. "No wonder why our systems are going out of whack, just sicking one in without the knowledge on how it can properly do what we want will ruin the darn thing. That doesn't stabilize the thing. That puts it into an overclock. There's a pretty big difference.. Aaggh, seriously. The issue is that it's made bad. Not that it 'cannot' operate. Things from stock companies do better than this.
Tear out the Feedback loop. Bad. Very bad without the calculations, which sure aren't easy taking into account that reactions aren't always 'clean' and have a variance range. It's only good if you pour a crapton of calculations into creating it, something which probably hasn't happened seeing the state it in right now.. The output doesn't matter. I mean that seriously. A simple transformer can do the work for us. Capacitance is easy to harness. I can take a guess that this thing makes use of capacitance to some degree by the way it sounded outside."
Rachel smirks slightly hearing his last sentience. "Please. You've never been able to surpass what i've done. At least not until you made that god forsaken veil."
Isamu shrugs. "Hey, what can I say. Pretty sure that thing outranks whatever your shield system is doing. I would share how it works, but then i'll lose my one-up over you."
Turning to Max. "Alright. I think I have a good idea what needs done. I'll.. 'trade' some information with Snow here, and i'll give it some patchwork. Never been a mechanic. This might be fun."
