Logging you in as a non-Citizen. Welcome to the Mechanica Rationalis Extranet.In the news:
Biological sapients have finally exceeded the 3 billion population mark. To cope with a growing population, Mechanica has issued a decree to expand cities underground while continuing with the development of the latest generation of tiered farms. The newest such farm, AGRI-0X5-3, has attained sustainability. Featuring a crop loss of only 5% and a nutrient conservation of over 80%, the 5 sq km and 0.5 km tall sapient farm reports that this year's crop harvest will be exceeding expectations. Surplus will be sold or donated as humanitarian aid in more troubled regions.
Mechanica has issued a decree for further pursuit of green energy alternatives for sale to the beleaguered nations of the world. The MR Green Energy Science division has broken 70% efficiency in the new generation of portable wind turbines, and investment into conversion of tidal energy into electricity using anchored buoys continues with promising results so far.
The Synthesis Revolution continues as the latest in nanotech is made commercial. This new nanotech promises to make the human brain functionally immortal without compromising human biology. Through oxygen infusion and neuron cushioning as well as neurotransmitter/free radical cleanup and even limited synapse reconstruction, the latest in nanite tech released from Project Hygiene's labs can protect a human brain from most shock, the decay of old age, and can even repair direct damage to the brain. The old guard of non-synthetic humans continues to protest against what they perceive to be the increasingly radical hybridization of the younger generation with MR technologies, but as they age the promise of synthetically aided immortality may prove too tempting to maintain their stance.
