About Advanced Electromagnetism
Advanced Electromagnetism is a Terra Invicta technology in Energy with a research cost of 1,000.
Advancements in electromagnetism bring us closer to deep-space travel, futuristic weaponry, and rapid interplanetary transport of resources.
To meet the alien arrival in kind, we will require a paradigm shift in our own technology. We must reach the stars, both so that they can become a staging ground for the advancement and defense of humanity, and so that we can tap their remarkable resources for ourselves. In addition, to counter the advanced weapons our rivals might wield against us, we will require bleeding-edge armaments of our own. Our scientists believe that the best way forwards is via magnetics on a hitherto unprecedented scale. Their tests have successfully demonstrated that precise sequential firing of a row of powerful electromagnets can grant incredible acceleration to a moving object. In time, they believe we will be able to apply this to a handheld weapon's projectile, to rapidly 'catapult' resources from deep space to our facilities, or to build spacecraft capable of boosting their propulsion to reach once-impossible speeds - and destinations. Furthermore, they theorize that powerful magnetic fields may be used to contain new and unstable forms of energy. These latest advancements are but a gateway to a brighter future. We cannot yet wholly dispense with the old ways of propulsion, transport and containment, but certainly a reality where we can dramatically augment them with magnetic force is within reach. The doorway to tomorrow yawns open before us.
