Superconductor SMAC
Superconductor is a Conquer technology 4 in Firaxis' TBS Game of 1999, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri (SMAC).
- Superconductor unlocked by: Optical Computers, Industrial Base
- Superconductor unlocks Technologies: Applied Relativity, Fusion Power
- Superconductor unlocks Unit Advances: Gatling Laser (5)
The power requirements of Optical Computers (D3) and the nascent Industrial Base (B1) stimulate research into high-temperature Superconductors, an advance long considered a 'holy Grail' by physical chemists. A Superconductor is a material that does not resist a flow of electrons. Using a Superconductor, power can be transmitted at incredible speeds over vast distances with no degradation. Bulky and expensive cooling equipment for high-powered machinery or weaponry becomes unnecessary, because these materials remain cool and efficient as electricity passes through them.
