BEGIN_TECH "Emergency Response Systems" 03301
	CATEGORY 11
	DESCRIPTION "Structure Factories may now produce DIRT structure kits.  _______________________________________ Disaster Instant Response Teams (DIRTs) can reduce damage to structures.  Once the DIRT structure has been deployed, DIRT members trained in emergency medical care and structural reinforcement will be on the scene in a matter of seconds."
	TEASER "Allows production of DIRT structure kits at the Structure Factory.  _______________________________________ Given the new dangers confronting our colony, we need more protection against disaster than our emergency shelters are able to provide. This project will develop new methods, tools, and techniques to respond to structural damage."

BEGIN_TECH "Cybernetic Teleoperation" 03401
	CATEGORY 4
	DESCRIPTION "Structure Factories may now produce Vehicle Factory structure kits.  _______________________________________ Our research has resulted in an upgrade to the Command Center, with dedicated computers and communications capabilities.  In addition, all vehicle designs now include the less expensive Noesis computer, utilizing elements of the Savant technology.  This transfers much of the computing burden from the Command Center to the vehicle itself."
	TEASER "Allows production of Vehicle Factory structure kits at the Structure Factory.  _______________________________________ Prior to the evacuation from our original colony site, Workers remotely operated our vehicles using a technology called Teleoperation.  Since the catastrophe, we no longer have enough Workers to teleoperate our vehicles.  The Savant computers at the Command Center have taken on part of this burden, but the job is taxing their capacity.  We need a specialized computer vehicle control system.  This Cybernetic Teleoperation project should allows us to operate a much larger number of vehicles."

We can now house more people in the same space, while improving Morale."
	TEASER "Increases Residence capacity.  _______________________________________ Environmental Psychology studies the relationships between human behaviors and the environments in which they occur.  The forced evacuation of our old colony site has increased the stress on our Colonists; additional research in this field may help us to create a more supportive environment and improve Morale."

Structure Factories may now produce Guard Post structure kits.  _______________________________________ We have refined the technology used in transmitting power between structures.  Our new emitters are capable of projecting a high-intensity beam of microwaves which will inflict heat damage on the target."
	TEASER "Makes the Microwave weapon available.  Allows production of Guard Post structure kits at the Structure Factory.  _______________________________________ Inter-colonial relations remain poor, making it prudent to develop some kind of defensive capability.  Our most promising research path lies in a refinement of the Microwave technology we use for transmitting power from our Tokamaks to the rest of the colony."

Each Medical Center can support the health needs of up to 40 colonists, improving the health and morale of the colony."
	TEASER "Allows production of Medical Center structure kits at the Structure Factory.  _______________________________________ Although our emergency medical systems are adequate to deal with accidents and disasters, our people are suffering from a lack of regular medical care.  We could exploit the vast medical knowledge in our databases to develop a regimen of health maintenance practices."

	TEASER "Increases Tokamak Power output.  _______________________________________ Superconductivity is the ability of certain materials to conduct electric current with no resistance and extremely low losses.  The best superconductive materials we have require an operating temperature of 152 degrees Kelvin (-121 degrees Celsius). Many new applications could be developed with a significant increase in the temperature of superconduction."

	TEASER "Makes the Laser weapon available.  Allows production of Guard Post structure kits at the Structure Factory.  _______________________________________ Inter-colonial relations remain poor, making it prudent to develop some kind of defensive capability.  Our most promising research proposal derives from the welding and cutting lasers used at the Structure Factory.

	TEASER "Increases Common Ore Mine yield.  _______________________________________ Metallogeny is the branch of geology that seeks to define the relationship between the geological history of an area and its mineral deposits. Metallogenic research is aimed at achieving a better understanding of the nature and geological settings of base and precious metal deposits, and to use this understanding to help develop areas of high mineral potential."

Among the most reliable indicators are variations in the concentration of radon and carbon dioxide in the molten salts found in deep bore wells or in fumaroles.  These warnings should give us some time to idle structures in the vicinity of the epicenter, reducing damage to them."
	TEASER "Gives early warning of seismic events. _______________________________________  Our previous research on the geology of New Terra indicated that the planet was not subject to seismic activity; recent events, however, have changed the situation.  Our planetary sciences database shows that seismologists had developed methods of seismic event prediction on Earth; some of these techniques may be adaptable to New Terra."

Although slower than the Lynx, its greater durability in combat should improve our defenses."

	TEASER "Makes the Starflare weapon available.  _______________________________________ A simple and inexpensive weapons system could be developed by placing high explosive charges into a weapons turret.

	CATEGORY 10
	DESCRIPTION "Early warning of electrical storms now available. _______________________________________ We now understand the atmospheric conditions that lead to filimentous, or arc, lightning discharges in the New Terran atmosphere, and can predict their occurrence.  On Earth, collisions between water particles of varying sizes caused the build-up of an electrical charge in the atmosphere.  Negatively-charged particles in storm clouds were attracted to the positively-charged ground.  The process is similar on New Terra, except that instead of water particles colliding, we have dust particles colliding."
	TEASER "Gives early warning of electrical storms. _______________________________________ Although there have always been electrical discharges in the New Terran atmosphere, the atmosphere's low pressure caused these discharges to be manifested as sudden glows, rather than lightning strikes as on Earth.  Now, with the thickening of the atmosphere, dangerous lightning is becoming more of a danger.  We need to study these strikes so that we can predict their occurrence and take precautions."

The capacitor is discharged into one rail and the current flows through the projectile into the second rail, producing a directional magnetic field that accelerates the projectile."
