Superconductor Civilization 1

Superconductor Civ1

Superconductor is one of 67 Civilization 1 Advances in MicroProse's TBS Game of 1991, Civilization 1.

Superconductor allows:

• SDI Defense
• Fusion Power (with Nuclear Power)

Superconductor prerequisites:

• Plastics
• Mass Production

When electric current is passed through a conductor, such as a copper wire, a small but significant amount of the current is lost to resistance. When certain substances are cooled to temperatures near absolute zero, this resistance disappears. This phenomenon is called superconductivity, and a substance with no electrical resistance is a Superconductor. If such a material could be found that worked at something nearer normal temperatures, its discovery might revolutionize everyday life by greatly reducing the cost of energy and making hosts of new inventions practical.
