AtoZ Kudos Transport Tubes PLUS I v1 Poser And DAZ 3D
-----------------------------------------------------
The challenge... Move personnel and equipment across the surface of Kudos with zero exposure to the highly corrosive atmosphere and an absolute minimum exposure to the high surface radiation levels which vary from dangerous to deadly on Kudos.
Thanks to CrySteel an alloy material extruded from Shard crystals, the nearly* indestructable building materials exist. Yes, the Towers that are on the surface are covered with thin sheets of this material and the DragonFire Attack craft are as well. Without these Towers and Ships atmospheric surface protection for the floating land masses of Kudos would impossible. And protection would only be possible from orbit. Because the surface of Kudos is littered with that which every pirate in the universe would love to plunder, not having surface protection was simply unacceptable!
Now, let's talk about the transparent yellow tinted Crysteel Transport Tube Systems that are on the surface of Kudos!
#1 Good News! The corrosive atmosphere cannot touch indestructable Crysteel, so that was one potential danger that the transport tubes were and are safe from... Of course, that was once the engineers figured out all the ways they could manipulate energies in order to create controllable shapes, like snaking curves and bends out of Shard! If you add this AtoZ Set to your Libraries, you have full control over the included 25, 50 and 75 section Super-Flex tubes included for and bends your route may follow. These along with the AtoZ ULTRA Mount will allow you to move your Transport Tubes through your terrains! Do be careful as all bends must allow for Pods' passage! To tight a turn and your pods will jam in the tube!
#2 Problem number two was the more difficult of the two... The radiation exposure became the really difficult thing to control. In the end these CrySteel tubes were evacuated to 0 atmospheres, so the pods would experience no air friction. Next, the Transport Pods were fitted to the tubes with such precision that the designed CrySteel Seals at both ends traveled frictionlessly through the tubes while creating a near perfect seal. Magnetic Propulsion systems were tested and perfected so that a pod could be accelerated at a constant 6gs. The longest journey on Kudos from secure underground bases to towers was planned so that a pod could travel 800 miles to its center point at 6gs. At the center, the pod's consoles for an operator reversed. So at that mid point suddenly the Pod was in freefall. Then the Pod was deaccelerated at a matching -6gs. At mid point the pods were traveling nearly at 20 thousand miles an hour. So a one way trip limited the operator's exposure time to roughly 6 minutes! Problem solved!
Towers were equipped with extra exit doors which every opeerator prayed they would never have to use, but Kudos had another danger. Ferocious storms with winds that were supersonic could threaten a tower. Of coure, once the Tower closed its dome's panels the storm could just rattle the structure not harm it. The real problem was Kudos' ultra long duration lightning "Panels". Read more about their danger in later chapters of "Way Station II" the Amazon published first book of the "The Chronicles of Kudos".
