Listen "In 2057 Explorers of a Home World (HQ)"
Episode Synopsis
The young people of HQ survival shelter need power! The suspended weights energy storage is running out of. A team venture up to the surface to explore the downtown high rise holding much needed lab equipment. Grace emulated a Knots Math computer breaking new ground in simulation abilities. A cutting edge of growing food uses a new form of life that is neither plant nor animal. It does grow many times faster than most organisms and can grow some tasty beef. What does the mean popular girl have in store for Lenny. This and much more in the latest episode.System screens: displays maps of the water recycle system and temperature control floors Choker of wire and LED lights: wearable lighting accessory School assist (AR assistant): augmented‐reality helper that relays system data and messages Medusa net provider: alternative network stack replacing the built‑in assist Power‐saving mode: software feature to shut off selected lights and reduce energy draw Cleaning bot: small autonomous robot that rolls along floors to clean marks AR visors/glasses: wearable displays overlaying digital information on the physical world VR rigs: virtual‐reality setups used in rec zones and practice rooms Hand crank charger with flashlight: manual generator and light source for emergency power Six‑legged crawler bot: palm‑sized robot designed to navigate power conduits Constructor bot: heavy‑duty robot used to move and assemble large equipment Electric wire pairs: charged and ground wires providing power to Ogra growth trays Car batteries: portable power sources repurposed to energize Ogra cultivation systems Grow trays: container shelves wired for supporting Ogra organisms during development Ogra organisms: genetically engineered hybrid life‑forms that produce edible “fruits” Modular cars: vehicles designed for rapid disassembly and reuse of parts Lock wands: tools that insert locking pins to detach car doors and panels Robotic lock gloves: exoskeleton gloves that enhance grip, strength, and cable clamping Pin driver with nano‑wire cartridges: handheld device for installing micro‑hooks in walls Woven nano‑wire cable (“carb‑cable”): high‑strength guide line for climbing in high winds Bullet‑proof plates: thin armor sheets stitched between garment layers for protection Safety harnesses with carabiners: fall‑arrest gear for clipping onto guide cables Gravity power storage model: digital 3D interface showing weight‑lift energy reserves Servers: computing racks hosting the colony’s web, VR, and core AI services Emulated Knots computer: AI environment repurposed to simulate computing based on Knots Math Medicine printer: device originally for bioprinting drugs, proposed for material fabrication Condensation tubes and fire hoses: passive water‑harvesting system from humid air Thorium reactor with molten salt turbine: compact nuclear generator design Radiation‑shield glass window and monitor: protective viewing port and live data display for reactor Spectrometer smell sensors: chemical detection fingertips on a bot for biohazard scanning Many of the characters in this project appear in future episodes.Using storytelling to place you in a time period, this series takes you, year by year, into the future. From 2040 to 2195. If you like emerging tech, eco-tech, futurism, perma-culture, apocalyptic survival scenarios, and disruptive science, sit back and enjoy short stories that showcase my research into how the future may play out. The companion site is https://in20xx.com These are works of fiction. Characters and groups are made-up and influenced by current events but not reporting facts about people or groups in the real world. This project is speculative fiction. These episodes are not about revealing what will be, but they are to excited the listener's wonder about what may come to pass.Copyright © Cy Porter 2025. All rights reserved.
