IT'S OFFICIAL I'M INSANE! I'VE INVENTED A COOL SUPERWEAPON!

[Warhead]

I haven't read the Ender's Game series but I'm always looking out for good stuff. From what I see, I think I'd like it. Cheers.

Make it a "little doctor"

Molecular Disruption Device

The Molecular Disruption Device is a fictional weapon of mass destruction featured in the Ender's Game series of science fiction novels by Orson Scott Card. Given the awkwardness of saying "molecular disruption device" or "molecular detachment device", the name was abbreviated to "M. D. Device", which gave rise to the nicknames "Dr. Device" and "The Little Doctor". Originating from Formic technology it sets up a field in which molecules can't be held together anymore. The field expands into a sphere and gets weaker the further it spreads but when the field runs into more molecules the process starts over again, creating an even stronger field.
[edit] Motivation

After the devastation caused by two invasions by a hive minded extraterrestrial race known formally as the "Formics" and informally as the "Buggers", Earth's military and scientific minds sought a way to permanently neutralize the Formic threat. All attempts at diplomacy and communication had failed. Humanity picked up several important pieces of technology from the Formic equipment, including gravity control and the possibility of faster-than-light communication, the ansible.
[edit] Mechanism

A basic explanation of the function of the Little Doctor appears in Ender's Game. The device produces two beams whose focal point has the ability to disrupt the bonds between atoms in molecules. The device also creates a field in which nearby molecules are also destroyed, and each dissolved molecule widens the reach of the field. In the absence of nearby mass, such as in the vacuum of space, the field dissipates rapidly, but a tightly-clustered formation of ships could be easily destroyed.

The device is capable of destroying essentially any single object, or cluster of objects that are close enough together. It can destroy something as small as an enemy spacecraft, or something as incredibly large as an entire planet. In theory, it may even be able to destroy larger objects such as stars, if the firing ship could get close enough without being destroyed, as the device has a finite range.

In Ender's Game, the only thing said about the weapon's physical characteristics is that it employs a directed energy beam; "it can't shoot around corners," Ender deduces. Three thousand years later, in Children of the Mind, the device has been scaled into the warhead of a missile, small enough to fit inside a small room. Upon "detonation", the field effect is started within the missile itself and uses the weapon's mass to jump-start a chain reaction. A removable section of casing allows it to be shut off, and instructions on how to do so are printed all over its surface (turning it on, a military officer explains, is the difficult part).

Ender in Exile further explains how the humans stripped down the Formic's space travel technology and wound up with an unwieldy piece of technology, which made an excellent weapon of mass destruction.

You win for that reference.

The Little Doctor is scary and awesome...do it Warhead.

It reminds me of a Flux Capacitor!



Whatever you hit with it fluxs in time and turns either into a duplo, standard, technic, or the more horrid Bionicle brick!!!!!

Perhaps the ker- table from 2001 for teleporter mishaps.

Ender's Game is my favorite book.

I would then need a loading port for all the windows to go into.

I am so building that.

[Warhead]

Haha, yeah. Pick a window, your leaving. We now have many colours and styles. If you do it post pics.

[Magic Soap]

Is that your sig-fig? (Guessed because it has a scarred eye)

[Warhead]

E-rect-a-mundo! I mean, yes, that supposed to be me. Didn't you ever see this?

Yeah but it's clearer to see here.
