Autonomous Nanomachine Task System (ANTS)

Background
Bordstrum Konchū was the world renowned expert in molecular manipulation using nanomachines and a third generation Nanoengineer. His Grandfather Ito Konchū was recognized as one of the pioneers of nanomachine design. And his Father, Wilhelm Konchū, was responsible for most of the nanotech used in modern medicine. Bordstrum, both figuratively and literally, had nanotechnology in his blood.

Molecular nano manipulation involved using very advanced nanomachines to restructure molecules to enhance their properties, or create new ones, particularly in alloys and polymers. The process was widely used in the manufacturing of micro-circuitry, materials strengthening and of course, the manufacturing of other nanomachines.

However nanotechnology at the molecular level had a critical weakness that limited its use. Unlike their medical counterparts that fed off the human body’s electrical current, molecular nanomachines required a conductive medium, specifically a electroactive polymer gel, to achieve precise power regulation.

One day, after arriving at an industry convention held at the Saturn Resort Space Station, Konchū discovered that a small sample of nanomachines that he was carrying with him had burnt out and were destroyed. At first Konchū thought that a faulty power unit was the cause, but after inspection he found it had not been triggered and was operating perfectly.

Konchū quickly deduced that the nanos had reacted to the Nueon particle radiation generated by the LEAP gates. Then upon reviewing the nanomachine data Konchū was astounded to discover that before being destroyed the machines had performed their programmed task at a rate nearly 500 times the norm.

On March 2nd 2143, after months of refinement, Konchū introduces the Autonomous Nanomachine Task System. ANTS are powered by low yield Nueon radiation and were self-replicating. This meant that the scale of the tasks they could be programmed to perform was limited only by the size of the Nueon generator powering them, and the physical resources available.
