Research Exotic Hybrids
Solution
Research the "Exotic Hybrid Systems" project when it becomes available.
Description		Resolution
While we have a rudimentary understanding of the alien Exotics, we must go further if we ever intend to build a viable interstellar craft. With our stockpile of Exotics, we have identified several lines of research.		We are pushing forward the boundaries of human science and engineering. Although producing the alien Exotics is still beyond our capabilities, we are rapidly advancing in our ability to apply them. Rather than using them to alter a single physical property of the targeted material, we are learning to alloy them in specific ways in order to enhance several properties at once. One of the most promising lines of application is in the field of fusion power. Previous human attempts to build a genuinely effective fusion reactor have been hampered by the astronomical temperatures involved. We now believe that with proper application of Exotics, we should be able to construct a reactor housing with a vastly higher melting point than anything previously thought possible. This would allow us to design a much larger "super-reactor," which would be able to sustain a correspondingly larger and more powerful reaction and thus produce a greatly increased energy output – the other option being our (so far theoretical) research into matter-antimatter energy generation, which would be similarly structurally demanding. According to our astrophysicists and propulsion engineers, both types of reactor could, in theory, supply the quantities of energy necessary for the primary propulsion system of our proposed interstellar mothership. Interestingly, we have discovered some methods of applying the alien Exotics to ordinary alloys that appear to be slightly but consistently more efficient than the alien designs. Perhaps their access to these fantastic materials has made the aliens complacent.
