It's really amazing how I look forward to a new post. Like waiting for a new anime episode or manga chapter. Except lower wait time which is way better.
"If your minds can project across spacetime, then surely you won't mind if we just... Redecorate your little citadel? Some U-235 would really spruce the place up..."
Considering the classification of that last ordnance, I wouldn't be surprised if the redecoration included uranium, hydrogen, and even effing antimatter
Don’t forget a pinch of Americium atomic mass 95 symbol Am, it is fissible so could be used in nukes, but hard to make when you already have plutonium available.
This could be the sequel to "They're Made Of Meat." The consequences of a bureaucrat making a decision out of disgust comes back to haunt galactic civilization.
@@KurNorock An spaceship as described does exist as concept.Ot os very possible to do, only that it would radiate our world is the reson it was never considerd in reality. With the technology we do have right now it would still be the most effectife form of propulsion., Orion Drive
The description does mention the majority of the blast hitting the ship and applying thrust, so they probably were using a nuclear shaped charge, not just a typical undirected nuclear device. This is the basic premise of an Orion drive (which was first proposed in the 1960s, iirc), and which is implied in some background documents to have been the technology behind the impulse drives in the original series of Star Trek You could make it more efficient with advnaced enough material technology to construct a thruster nozzle like housing to detonate the nuke inside, but the mass of the structure would need to be too great to really benefit from the advantages it's meant to provide using conventional materials. Also, modern thruster technologies are approaching similar levels of fuel efficiency, but require more electrical energy to operate at that level. They're safer and more flexible but there's a potential argument for this type of drived to still have valid use cases in long-distance (interplantery or even interstellar) travel in future.
@@a-blivvy-yus Wonder about using particle accelerators to slam into a beam of fuel coming out the back. To sort of create a nuclear burn. I imagine the energy required would be impractical though.
@@TheJadeFist I recommend looking up magnetoplasmadynamic thrusters. They're probably the most promising design for the future of spaceship thrusters, but they're non-nuclear. That said, you can inject radioactive material like uranium into the plasma to get a bit of extra thrust from the radiation ramping up the heat of the already-superheated material to get a lightly bigger kick.
3 Problems with this. 1. How would humans even be capable of joining a community like this. If you can't show up to a council meeting or otherwise communicate with any other member, then membership would be in name only and otherwise pointless. 2. Why did the feel the need to attack the humans at the end? If they're interested in ascended minds as they called them, wouldn't letting humans leave with the knowledge that such a thing was even possible, make it more likely that could eventually achieve that ability, what is to be gained by attempting to stop them from leaving? A man is far more likely to cross an ocean to reach an island, if he knows the island exists than if he was in complete ignorance. 3. How did these aliens build these places, if the concept of physically traveling through space is unfathomable to them? I guess they sent the machines, and simply waited for the eons for their machines to reach wherever.
1. This is sort of answered by the "five legs" who need a servitor present in physical form at the location of any meeting, so there is precedent for a race to have a corporeal presence on the council. 2. There's less clear justification for this. It comes across like they're trying to prevent knowledge of their existence from spreading into physical space. I'm inclined to think this question is a lot like "What does god need with a spaceship?" from Star Trek V. The necessity of asking the question about their actions points to where the council probably isn't what they claim to be. 3. This is also a good question, and there are a few possible answers. One of the ascended races may have left physical monuments before ascending, designed to be easily recognised and understood by ascended minds, not considering that they could potentially be deciphered by an intelligent enough race of corporeal beings who haven't yet realised that ascension is possible, or for whom it may not be. Doesn't really resolve all your questions, but it shows a different perspective on these "problems" as pieces of a story that has room for sequels to expand on the direction it seems to be heading.
1) Cant truly be answered without knowing what constitutes menbership. Are they effectively something like the Q collective, or just a bunch of species capable of projecting their consciousness where they please? 2) I can see two major reasons they want to prevent humans from getting out, the most likely of which being that they have physical bodies as well, despite their enlightenment allowing their travel via time slip, and more corporeal beings learning of their kind increases the risk that concerted efforts to locate and capture them for study becoming a problem. The other reason being a twisted superiority complex over their party being crashed by something seen so beneath them. 3) The Five Legs are proof they can interact with physical matter, so for all we know they have some for construction or their apparent enjoyment of physical art
Modern-day space flight is basically strapping a few million pounds of dynamite to your backside and lighting the fuse. This just seems like the natural logical extreme of the idea. One multi-megaton kick in the ass to get you going, another on the other end to get you to stop.
I have to point out that the title of this video isn't exactly relevant. The story addresses time and technological advancement in ways which strongly imply that humans have FTL travel in some form, but the only propulsion method described is a nuclear pulse rocket or Orion drive. Those are very specifically sublight propulsion, not FTL, and that method of travel is the only thing the aliens comment on, not whatever maybe-FTL technology is used for the rest of the journey in question.
Definitely want a sequel to this one, gotta know if humanity had to nuke the entirety of the de-evolved bastards into the ground, or just their galactic council.
"Barking system"? Sure you didn't mean braking system? I'm counting at least three layers of checks that sort of thing had to go through before making it here, from the writer to the narrator to the editor...
have to just laugh at the human errors, part of the charm of having real people do blind readings. Intonation and emotion with funny errors vs sterile monotone powerpoint read by a computer.
I like this channel A real human narrator is always way better that some AI soolless speech And i like the kind of story you made I started listening to them to go to sleep It's relaxing in a way and make me practice my english, witch is not my first language Keep going the good stuff 👍
Great narration. The graphics are great as well. I only wish they would actually match the story. Talking about humans, and showing blue aliens. It does change to humans later. But this incongruity does happen often in other stories. Such as describing 4 armed, or tentacled aliens and showing illustrations of human looking aliens with strange heads...
I love your voice and I have a crush on Frairen but one must have a Z- coordinate to locate something in 3 dimensional space. Unless of course your fictional universe is flat.
Wrong, the intersection point of any two physical entities within a 3 d environment becomes a three dimensional co ordinate. Take two string lines of infinite length that cross in the room you are sitting. Now you can measure it's intersection from any three points in the room giving it a 3d position.
@jimglass5892 Ok that makes sense on a planet but how does that work in space I mean I get what you mean but in the vastness of space I feel like z would matter a bit because while yes you would be at the x and y for location you could still not find the target because you could enter in at empty space at that point its a coin flip and go positive z or negative z (i mean left or right following the z axis) unless I'm getting something wrong That said if the lines intersect in 3d space then I see your point but if the only intersect on the x and y but not the z well... (I'm genuinely curious cause this is makeing my brain hurt.) Edit: ok I thought how to explain how I see it think of the planet as a room in the building you know where the building is (the x and y) but not the floor (ignoreing sighs for the examples sake) that is your z.
@@jimglass5892 In 3d space, it would be like making the ceiling of the room in your example infinitely high, and you could be at any point of the room between the floor and the ceiling. Example: I play Minecraft on creative mode, which allows me to teleport. To teleport properly, you need three coordinates. I've teleported to places where I ended up buried deep in the ground (or several blocks above it) because I didn't have the right Z coordinate.
@@Johnfuchs-pm5wu yes. In a CAD analogy, any 3 points, or two crossing lines form a plane (the floor). Z=0 . The infinite strings can be odd to imagine, so think of two sticks leaning against a fence, just looking at them you might not see it, but if you took a sheet of plywood and leaned it against those sticks, that's your Z=0 plane.
This story is really good, tho I would of preferred if the whole assended part wasnt a thing and it was a proper first contact. And i have to give credit to the leader who recognized a theat and gave the ship a command fled and was going to nuke a theat to humanity and other alien species. This leader is a much better leader than the leader in the hfy story called humans will persue peace at all costs

I think the AI was confused when drawing the original KARLA crew 😕
Wouldn't a shape charge like thruster be better than just blowing up nukes in space near the ship? That's wasting alot of energy and resources.
Yeah, it's really stupid. Just another writer trying too hard to be unique.
