Can Sci-fi weapons: nanomachines and sophons be a reality someday?

 

The grey fog is one of the superweapons that are so horrifying that we cannot even imagine them. That grey fog can erase entire planets. Nanomachines are the new tools. They can be the ultimate Swiss blade for everything. Theoretically, nanomachines can erase any molecule that they face. Those small molecular machines must only create the wave movement and resonance that cut the chemical bonds between atoms. The miniature machine can simply send an electromagnetic impulse to the chemical bond in a targeted molecule. And that energy can push atoms away from each other. This kind of system can have multiple civil and military applications. 

The nanomachine that can terminate forever molecules can be the most wanted thing in the world. But that same technology is also capable of creating the terrifying “grey fog” that terminates everything that we know. The main problem with nanomachines is their movement. The surface active agents, or surfactants are the things that can solve the nanomachine movement problem. If the nanomachine has two surfactant molecules that the system can turn on when it gets a command. That makes it possible to move the nanomachine. Surfactants have two heads, one is hydrophobic and one is hydrophilic.

If the hydrophobic head is in the direction where nanomachines should move and the hydrophilic head is at the tail of the nanomachine. That makes the nanomachine move in the desired direction underwater. The hydrophobic head that can be connected with water droplets can also make the nanomachine hover and travel to wanted direction in the air. When the water droplet surrounds the nanomachine and then the hydrophobic- or water-repelling heads are turned to that water. That thing can cause an explosion. And the pressure wave can help to raise the machine up. The small nanomachine that can control that thing can make it possible to use that thing for controlled flight. 

The other version is that they use some. more exotic propulsion systems, like theoretical systems that can change the shape of the quantum fields near the nanomachines. Those systems can make the machine hover and travel at very high speeds. 

Those nanomachines can be connected with the von Neumann probes. The term Von Neumann probe means self-replicating machines.  Those systems can include miniature factories that create copies of those machines. The nanofactory can be very small. And they can create copies of themselves and create those molecular machines. Those machines and factories can be DNA-controlled. 

The sophon is introduced in the sci-fi novel 3-Body Problem. The sophon is a proton-sized quantum computer that can control humans and steal their imaginations and thoughts. The model of sophon is in the real quantum models where the proton, or quarks that form this hadron will be put into the superposition and entanglement. This kind of quantum computer is very unstable. There are models made of what those sophons can be. And one of them is that the sophon could be the group of photons that are trapped around the quantum-size black hole. The other version could be the quantum-size grey hole. 

The system creates those things by pressing some particles like protons with antimatter implosion. The ball-shaped antimatter-matter ball will be exploded around the proton. That thing can be the fullerene that acts like an implosion bomb. And then photons will be put around that extremely dense object. And the system will transport data into them. 

But there is another way to make the theoretical sophons. That is the DNA-based quantum computer. The system can be an artificial bacteria or an artificial amoeba that is injected into the target’s blood. There, genetically engineered amoebae can travel to the human brain. Then that thing will steal the electric impulses or make copies of the neurotransmitters in that thing. 

When the artificial amoeba or biorobot is ready it calls the genetically engineered mosquito to pull it out from the blood vessels. 

The artificial mosquito can use certain chemical marks, antibodies to call the artificial amoeba to it. And that amoeba can also send neurotransmitters to neurons around it. The system mimics the natural parasites. But their purpose is different. Their mission is to paralyze and steal information from the targeted person's nervous system and even control that person. 

Then that mosquito travels to the laboratory. And there are many ways that that thing can transmit data to the computer. The mosquito can split that amoeba on the research table. Then the amoeba starts to blink the bioluminescence light and using that light the biorobot can transmit information that it got to a photovoltaic cell. The amoeba can also reprogram the mosquito and make it communicate with computers. The artificial amoeba-mosquito couple can be the ultimate tool for intelligence and other systems. 

China and Russia boost hypersonic technology.

"Illustration of the Feitian 2 hypersonic vehicle demonstrating advanced flight capabilities. Image generated by AI." (Rude Baquette, “China Just Went Hypersonic”: Feitian 2 Test Stuns the World With Blistering Speeds That Could Redefine Global Airpower)

The Chinese hypersonic jet makes a great advance in flight and it will revolutionize commercial- and military operations. The Feitian 2 drone is a great advance for hypersonic missiles and aviation technology. That drone launched from a spaceport using a regular rocket and that system gives more information about how to solve problems that the hypersonic systems face when they travel across the atmosphere. Those systems are ultimate tools for use against ships and hardened targets. The Mach 10 capable missile that flies at quite a low altitude is a hard target for defense. Those systems can use stealth technology and those smooth shapes that the hypersonic systems need are suitable for stealth systems. 

The hypersonic cruise missile can jump out of the atmosphere and then dive back. That allows them to ignite scramjet engines. If those hypersonic missiles are quite small, they can be installed on the ballistic missile along with regular warheads. So in that kind of system, the hypersonic missile can strike with regular warheads. The thing is that the hypersonic systems can also use regular rocket engines. The thing that makes them dangerous is this. They create very strong pressure cones. And that cone can also cause damage. The kinetic energy system doesn’t require a warhead at all. When a 1000 kg vehicle hits a target with speed Mach 10 it causes a very strong impact. 

"Illustration of the Oreshnik hypersonic missile, a key element in Russia's military strategy. Image generated by AI."(Rude Baquette, Illustration of the Oreshnik hypersonic missile, a key element in Russia's military strategy. Image generated by AI)

The real strike capacity of the Oreshnik missile depends on the warheads. If those warheads are designed to act as hypersonic gliders, HGS or that system carries scramjet-driven cruise missiles that can be very powerful weapons. Those HGS systems can look a little bit like spearheads. And that gives them the smooth flight profile that allows those systems to strike with variable angles. 

For comparison, the GAU-8 Avenger cannon’s uranium ammunition hits targets with a speed of Mach 1,5 and that is enough to destroy the main battle tank. So what if the Mach 10 drone is equipped with GAU-8? The normal muzzle velocity for that ammunition is 1,013 m/s. And the aircraft's speed increases at the same rate as the aircraft travels.  When that ammunition takes Mach 10 speed with it that rises the muzzle velocity to a level that is many times higher than if it is connected to an aircraft that travels at 600 km/h That thing gives extremely powerful impact energy to that ammunition. So what happens if Mach 10 aircraft open fire with GAU-8 against the city? 

The Russian researchers are working with a new Mach 10 missile called “Oreshnik”. The weapon is classified as an IRBM (Intermediate range ballistic missile. That thing makes them easier to install on mobile launchers than the strategic missiles. The missile itself finds targets independently. There is also the possibility of creating hypersonic cruise missiles or hypersonic gliders for the larger missiles. 

Those missiles can destroy ships and ground targets from a great distance. Strategic anti-ship missiles that can attack targets from thousands of kilometers are frightening tools. Those systems are following the Russian doctrine where political security is in the primary role. Hypersonic missiles that lay in silos or mobile launchers are always under the observation of the security troops. The long-range anti-ship missiles can threaten NATO surface battle units and convoys. Basically, the RS-28 (Sarmat) or older RS-36 (SS-18 “Satan”) can carry those missiles against the fleet and other targets like command centers.

Researchers are trying to create new alternatives for rockets.

"Illustration of an imaginative artwork depicting satellites piled up like a stack of pancakes. Image generated by AI." (Sustainability-times, Unstoppable Satellite Barrage: US Firm’s Hypersonic Cannon Fires Pancake Probes Into Space, Prompting Urgent Chinese Response)

Space rockets are tested and good systems for launching satellites into orbiters. But there is one problem with rockets. They are so noisy. And they need lots of space around them. There are a couple of alternatives. Researchers are trying to develop to replace those noisy systems. The easiest to make are the blimps, high-altitude unmanned airships that rise small Pegasus-type rockets to the edge of space. 

Those rockets will launch into orbit from the 40-kilometer altitude. The unmanned robot airships can use hydrogen for hovering, and explosions will not be dangerous to humans on board. Those systems are quieter than the regular rockets. 

The other version is the hypersonic aircraft that makes the ballistic jump. The satellite will release at the top point of the trajectory. Or the aircraft can pull that satellite behind it in the hypersonic glider. And when that aircraft makes the ballistic movement the satellite follows it. And then the ballistic movement acts like a sling to that satellite. 

Centrifugal launchers or spin launchers are tools that can replace rockets.  In those systems, the spinning plate accelerates the satellite at a very high speed. The spinning plate should be very large so that it stands for the spinning speed. If there is some kind of error the centripetal force destroys the plate. There is a possibility of connecting the spin launchers with magnetic accelerators, which can be connected to the stratospheric tube. 

The orbital centrifuge cannon can look like this. The image was made with AI. 

The tube itself can be connected with quadcopters. And it can have a telescopic structure. That means the system can push the stratospheric together. When the system is in use those quadcopters and electric motors pull that tower in full length. When the spin plate accelerates at full speed the system will open a hatch. 

At the top of that thing. Then it opens a ventilator that brings air behind the satellite. The magnetic track and pressure along with the magnetic system pull the satellite through the tube. Those satellites will not be very large. They can be about 1-2 kg microsatellites. Those satellites are packed in the aerodynamic shield. 

There are many variants of spin launchers. The laser system. That shoots below the satellite. Can give extra thrust. The system needs four lasers around the exit tube that give a stable push for the satellite capsule.  

There are models where the system throws the satellite to the ballistic, or suborbital trajectory. Then the small space shuttle, or space hook. That is connected to the space station or heavier satellite pulls that satellite upward. The orbital system catches the satellite. And pulls it upwards.  

In some models, the robot airships can carry extremely long whips. The spin launcher is like the Kevlar or spider silk rope. The rope will spin at a high speed. The length of that whip can be even kilometers. In some plans, there is a space station between Earth and the moon. There the whip length is enormous. 100 or even 1000 kilometers throw the small probes around the solar system. 

The thing is that the centrifugal canons that are connected with magnetic accelerators can be used in long-range artillery. Those systems can launch ammunition over long distances. When we think about the orbital spin launchers those systems can look like helicopter rotors. They can pull themselves into a small size. Then the origami-style system puts its structure into the full size. The magnetic accelerators can be put in the tubes. That is in the middle of solar panels. Those "space windmills" can send metal ammunition against targets at a very high speed.

The new way to communicate using light.

"Propagation of light pulses with intermodal dispersion in multimode fibers, MMF. Words are mapped to different frequencies (different colors), the optical pulses are stretched into different temporal dispersion curves. This allows for the identification of the pulse frequencies at the receiver, thereby enabling the reconstruction of the input words. Credit: Gao, Z., Jiang, T., Zhang, M. et al." (ScitechDaily, Scientists Just Taught Light to Transmit Meaning – And It’s Revolutionizing Communications)

There are many ways to make light-based communication systems. Normally, we think that the light flashes mean 0 and 1 in a laser communication system. But the 0 and 1 can be two different wavelengths. That means the flash of red can mean 1, and the flash of green can mean 0. This is a useful tool for binary data transmission. But there is one way to transmit data by using light that we don't usually mention. 

In that version, a single wavelength means a single word. The system must only give serial numbers for light- or radiation flashes. Then the receiver can put those flashes back into a certain order. That means red can mean "if", green can mean "and" etc. Researchers can also use radio waves in the same way as lasers. And the point of the CCD camera those people can put a radio spectral scanner. 

There are approximately 600000 words in English. Some people might think to use that kind of data transmission, the system requires 600000 wavelengths. The system can send those messages by blinking the colored lasers in the order that gives words to the receiver. If one color carries one word that makes the system immune to disturbance. 

"Experimental system. a, encoding: Each word is mapped to an optical frequency according to the encoding table. b, Schematic of the experimental setup. c, decoding: Recognize each dispersion curve as the corresponding frequency using the fingerprint dictionary, and then reconstruct the words based on the encoding table. d, implement sentiment analysis using a deep learning model. Credit: Gao, Z., Jiang, T., Zhang, M. et al." (ScitechDaily, Scientists Just Taught Light to Transmit Meaning – And It’s Revolutionizing Communications)

The problem is that. Language advances all the time. And the system requires very advanced and complicated transmitter-receiver pairs. But theoretically is possible to create a CCD camera that pixels can separate 600,000 frequencies. And, a transmitter can also have the ability to send 60000 separated frequencies. 

And that means the system must have flexibility. If the system uses the English alphabet. It needs only 52 frequencies for the letters. There are 26 capital and 26 lower cases. And other frequencies for numbers and special marks like brackets. Or the sender can use the words to send numbers. But that creates limitations in massages. 

The system can use red as "A" and the light flashes can involve data which place the certain letter takes in the words. That thing is hard to jam. 

So it's immune for the outcoming errors. But otherwise, it's easy to break. 

The system can also encode lots of words in one wavelength. There can be hundreds of words encrypted in certain colors. The system must only send the serial number of the word that the system sends. This kind of system is more complicated to break. That thing makes this thing more vulnerable to disturbance.

The LLM-style operating systems can make quantum computers more scalable.

New types of advances in quantum computer technology make those systems more scalable than ever before. The new operating systems can use the Large language model, LLM style portal that offers a better interface between binary computers and the quantum system. The LLM is always similar. It allows to use of multiple things to give commands to the system. The LLM can operate between humans or it can also operate in an interface between computers. The LLM can also make binary computers, and quantum computers understand each other better. 

The large language model, LLM is only one version of the command languages. Written for computers. In traditional programming and command languages like DOS language, C, C++, etc. the command syntax happens through certain formulas. The user must give those commands precisely the right way. The LLM gives freedom to the operators. The LLM allows to use of spoken language to give commands. The language model searches keywords from text. 

Then it translates those things to commands, that the sub-application requires. Those sub-applications can be the internet browser or some programming editors. 

The idea for those LLMs is taken from the Internet search field. It is much easier to write search words and go to the homepage. Clicking the link then write long addresses into the address bar. 

When a user gives the order to the computer. Using spoken language. The system transports data to a speech-to-text application and then it can transfer that data to the LLM user interface. That is the thing that makes the LLM so effective. The LLM translates those commands for the modules that search data from the networks. 

The new quantum computers that run the large language models, LLMs, can quite soon make the doctoral thesis. The system can search data from multiple sources and then fix the text into the form required for a doctoral thesis. 

Those LLMs require lots of data and complicated algorithms. Those things require lots of calculation power. The LLM and the quantum computers are the ultimate duo. Because quantum computers have that kind of calculation power. 

That is one thing that makes quantum computers more powerful than other systems. 

And the only thing that can beat quantum computers is the quantum neural network. Which is the network of quantum computers. That means quantum computers make old-fashioned data security useless. 

But otherwise thinking. That system can protect data more effectively than binary computers. There are multiple levels of data security. The system that runs complicated algorithms can confirm the computer that the person uses. 

But it can also recognize the user. And AI can see if there are other suspectingly acting persons. In the same space. Those things make AI an ultimate tool for data security. The AI can make a profile. If the writer is always the same person. And when the style is always different that makes suspicion that there are multiple makers in documents. 

AI-control robots are a good alternative for manned space projects.

"Artist's impression of the Dragonfly spacecraft flying over the surface of Titan" (Wikipedia, Dragonfly)

The biggest problem with missions to another planet in our solar system is this: flight times to planets are far longer than flight travel to the Moon. The only realistic place where we can travel safely is Mars. On other planets Venus's thick atmosphere causes risks. Of course, it's possible to travel to Venus and land on its highlands. 

But on the lowlands. The risk is that if the astronaut falls and damages the spacesuit the 600-degree temperature kills astronauts. 

The problem is that in a thick atmosphere, even small things like volcanic eruptions can cause very powerful pressure waves that can make astronauts slip. In those scenarios, the astronauts use the space suits or the suits made for blast furnace workers. Those space suits can equipped with HULC-style exoskeletons and the system can filter air from carbon monoxide. 

On Mercury. The sun's particle flow is dangerous. The astronaut who lands on that planet gets very high radiation doses. Mars is the only safe planet inside the asteroid belt. Or it is supposed to be safe. But the carbon dioxide ice pockets under its surface can cause the fall of the surface. And the sand devils the small tornadoes can cause static electricity that damages systems. 

"This artist’s concept depicts a small rover – part of NASA’s CADRE (Cooperative Autonomous Distributed Robotic Exploration) technology demonstration headed for the Moon – on the lunar surface. Motiv Space Systems in Pasadena, California, created the rendering and is collaborating with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory on critical rover and mobility functions. Credit: Motiv Space Systems, edited" (ScitechDaily, NASA’s AI Rovers Are Heading to the Moon to Explore Without Human Control)

There is also the possibility that astronauts dirt the planet and that can deny to detect the possible original lifeforms on that planet. If the shell of the spacecraft or Mars base is damaged it can deliver organic material all around the planet. That thing can cover remnants of past lifeforms like bacteria under them. 

But journeys to Jupiter and Saturn are too long. That takes too much lifetime of astronauts. Maybe there are no places where the manned craft can land. The four big Galilean moon's gravity is weak. There is also volcanic activity on the surface of Io. And other three moons have subsurface oceans. That means it's possible. 

That the landing craft will fall below the ice. Saturn is farther than Jupiter and flight time to that planet is over 5 years. Cassini traveled between Saturn and Earth for 6,7 years. The nuclear chemical rockets can travel that journey in about 2-4 years. But there are not any of them in operation. All atomic rockets are still in some planning stages. 

AI-controlled robots are a safe way to do planetary research. Those drones can fly or travel on the distant planet's or moon's surface. Flying quadcopter drones like NASA's Dragonfly that it sends to Titan moon can also dive in methane oceans and they can also operate in the gas giant's atmosphere. 

The AI-controlled robots can use the same programs as the systems that sort bottles to different lines. Geologists can teach those systems which stones they must pick. 

Those AI-controlled robots. Like AI-controlled Moon rovers are safer than manned spaceflights. They can be used as testbeds for civil and military solutions. The Moon is an excellent place to test programs and systems for Titan missions.  On Earth, those robots can also operate underwater and airborne.

A new way to control electrons opens new roads.

"Two twisted boron nitride layers (blue and pink) create a crystal lattice at a distance in which electrons (gold) can arrange themselves in a regular pattern. Credit: Natasha Kiper / ETH Zurich"

"Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a new technique to better understand how electrons interact within materials. By using a moiré material — created by twisting ultra-thin atomic layers — they generated an artificial crystal lattice in a nearby semiconductor, allowing for more precise studies of electron behavior."

"Scientists have devised a method to create artificial crystal lattices with a large lattice constant in semiconductor materials."

"The increased lattice constant reduces the electrons’ motional energy, making their interactions more prominent."

"This technique will help researchers study electron interactions across different materials."

"A better understanding of these interactions could explain how certain insulators transition into superconductors when extra electrons are introduced"

(ScitechDaily, Scientists Just Found a Mind-Bending Way to Control Electrons)

**************************************************************

The ability to control electrons is one of the things that can boost electronics. The system can use the crystal lattice to trap and control electrons using light. The laser beam can affect lattice atoms' conductivity, and that helps to control the electrons in the lattice. In a modified tunneling microscope. 

The system operates as tweezers. It can put those electrons into their positions. In the new types of memories and quantum systems, data can be stored in electrons. If researchers want to keep data in the form of electrons they must avoid the situation where electron touches the layer. 

Theoretically, the same things that can control electrons can control positrons or antiprotons. The same system that can hover electrons in layers can make the same thing with antiprotons. In antimatter, particles have opposite polarity. And if the system uses electromagnetic force to keep them away from the layer the same system that keeps electrons away from the layer can keep antiprotons away. 

That makes it possible to control electrons and antimatter particles with very high accuracy. The system requires ion layers that can push the positron away from the lattices. The ability to store positrons in crystals and graphene can boost antimatter technology. The system must hover antimatter particles between the carbon net structures. Antimatter can have many weapons, and engine solutions. The antimatter can act as a super-power turbo-boost in chemical and ion rockets. 

It can make it possible to create extremely small ammunition. One gram of antimatter can destroy Earth. This means. A pistol-bullet-sized antimatter capsule can destroy an entire planet. The antimatter can also be used for data storage. Anti-electrons can store data and when the photonic system reads the anti-electron can be destroyed. There is the possibility to use the anti-electron-electron pair in superpositions in quantum computers.
