Can we make 304s faster following Unending?

[the blackheart]

Well after unending we are capable of producing pretty much anything. Food, plants, instruments etc.

Spoiler:

In AoT they even make a replicator.

So if they can make anything, does this mean we can use it to replicate 304's ? Maybe not the whole ship but at least parts of it help speed up the build time and reduce the costs.

[Durgia]

possibly but the energy requirements would be intense. It is hard to say how long it will take to implement that technology and what extent it could be used in.

Its possible to replicate parts, but can it assemble them too? I think earth technicians would still have to build the ship, do all the wiring and testing of systems etc.

So yes it could possible speed up production time, but honestly we kick out new ships pretty fast as it is.

I would actually say they are produced slower now. Getting the Asgard beam weapons and such in would be harder then just railguns and missle launchers.

i must admit that i am curius as to what the limits of such technology is, the limits were never explained so basically its up to us fans to think of what the limits can be.

Please use spoilers!!!
Also they can be made very fat as long as they have a good energy source, with a ZPM a 304 can make it to atlantis in 4 days.

i guess with make, the starter of this topic ment build. Can we build 304's faster by using asgard tech

Imagine if they could build a replicator big enough to reproduce a 304 in one pass. Hook that thing up to the power grid and every time they make one everyone in the US experience a brown out.

Does it make brownies?

[gateman2007]

There's probably some other tech that the Asgard gave us that will allow us to build ships faster. Or perhaps we now have the knowledge to build that power source in The Fifth Race that uses the small amount of liquid naquadah in a staff weapon. With a couple of those, and the knowledge of how to reset one (Point Of View) we could beam the parts of a 304 into place, or perhaps a whole one in space. Long story short, yes, I think so.

Good idea. But we'd have to program it so that it doesnt go out searching for the material. We would bring the material to it.

i thought it gets the material through energy not mass so it wouldnt matter

It's not a bug replicator...it's the asgard beaming system used to create things from nowhere.

So far it's not known how it creates the material. It could either create the mass out of energy, which would be very high. Or it could take atoms already present and rearrang them to the wanted configuration.

[JSPuddlejumper]

Even without fancy Asgard replicators, there is learning by doing=increases efficiency.

Let say the first 304 took 2 years. Next one, 1.5 years, next 1 year...Mass production.

Asgard tech will only increase this.

Eventually, they should have a 304 coming out every couple of months.

I doubt it comes from nowhere. But the chances are they reassemble things since it can't make very heavy element such as neutronium in mass quantities.

Why does not being able to replicate neutronium(which is speculation, BTW) mean it rearranges matter? It could be simply too dense, and require too much energy to be feasible.
