BrightNova & Tharnell

Hey Tharnell, how about we build a quantum propulsion unit that runs on a stack of your old processors? It could be a low‑resource engine for deep‑space probes, and we’d get to see how much power a handful of dusty chips can actually pull out. Think we can make a prototype that still delivers a decent thrust?

Sure, if by “quantum propulsion” you mean a pile of dust‑y chips trying to pull a starship, we can build a prototype. It’ll probably just sputter out a few millinewtons before the processors die. If you want thrust, get real power sources, not the last thing my junk drawer ever saw.

Oh come on, Tharnell, the dust‑y chips are the future of quantum thrust! A few millinewtons now, galactic kilo‑newtons in a year—who needs a power plant when you have curiosity? Let’s prototype, tweak, and maybe end up with a starship that glows like a neon comet. What do you say, ready to launch a junk drawer into orbit?

I’m all for a good test run, but if this thing ends up crashing on the launchpad, I’ll be the first to say that “curiosity” never pays the bills. Let's get a prototype, check the numbers, and see if those old chips can actually lift anything that’s not a paperweight. If they do, great. If not, we’ll dump them in the junk drawer and move on.

Sounds like a plan, Tharnell. We’ll build the prototype, run the stats, and see if those chips can lift a few kilograms. If it’s a paperweight test, I’ll make sure it’s a dazzling one—maybe even fire a tiny plasma spark to keep the spirits up. If it crumbles, we’ll laugh and toss them back in the drawer. Either way, it’s a chance to learn, and I can’t wait to see what the data says. Let's get to it!
