We're doing it now, but it's not extendig out lifespan.
I just have to be patient... and get a lot of funding.
Alternatively I can slap together some pieces of quartz. Funny thing is, it never seems to work. It worked in the book, didn't it?

Hmmm, I'm not sure I like where this is going...
Why not? Wouldn't you like to have the technology to produce massive quantities of Root Beer for less than a picopenny?
nismaratwork said:
Can I volunteer to surrender first?
That was the point. I probably should have stated it better. The nations join me because they realize that everything will be better that way, 'cause of the supertech and all.
And I can bribe the citizens by giving out lottery numbers, who will then sway the governments to come under my rule.

Violence isn't absolutely required.

Wait a second... that last bit is Futurama!
Really? I didn't know that.

To maintain your technocracy, you wouldn't be able to allow a PF.
Much of my tech will be secret. If people start figuring out some of the tech (ie. fusion power), I'll just pull out something more powerful to remain ahead of them.
nismaratwork said:
You have lasers, mass drivers, and fusion. You bet your butt we'll be nice!





Thank you.




And I'll hire someone to fix that bug that prevents me from using lots of emoticons in a row:

Ok. Just don't violate any human/sentient/lifeform rights.
I also have holodecks if you're interested.
nismaratwork said:
Oh... so you want to start a revolt?!
Why not? I'll have plenty of popcorn.

You want a gun that fires over a period of a year? heh.

A gun that is 9,460,730,472,580.8 km long.
It can fire at a rate of about 10
50 times a second.
Its firepower can be set anywhere from Stun to BlowUpAPlanet.
It also utilizes superluminal physics.
And it can retract to 1 mm by shrink fields similar to the Alcubierre drive.
Extending it out to its maximum length is an easy way to fire at point blank range.

At least you're not overly ambitious.
You haven't seen my second Intergalactic Domination yet.
nismaratwork said:
Grrrrrrr... OR... you could order the networks to make more Firefly!
Eh? Why?
Saying "humans haven't achieved FTL yet" is fine, but saying "FTL doesn't exist" is blasphemy.



Hey, FTL's in my name.
I'm not sure which is the greater threat: Orion's Arm or Firefly. And to think that Firefly orbits over my head every few minutes...
Anyway, they'll be too busy adapting my novels for film and TV.



I think I'll play the part of Captain Cyprus myself. (one of the secondary characters)
