UAXOO AXOO

 

It is a nerve centre on board the UEWA. As you have been able to see, a large part of the sensory organs are distributed uniformly over the whole area of the XOODI NAA (MEMBRANE). But there are many other items of equipment whose location is centred in this sensor nucleus situated at the very base of the UEWA OEMM. Some defence devices are also included. I list some of the former for you.

 

Equipment for the reception of electromagnetic frequencies; UULODOO (image-capturing Camera that performs a function similar to Earth Photographic cameras); equipment for remote underground prospecting; equipment for launching autonomous probing devices that can be steered from the UEWA once launched; recorders of speed with respect to reference systems chosen as standard; receivers of weak gravitational Frequencies; spectrographs; acoustic analysers; equipment for recording images of Stars and identifying them automatically (as a curious detail I will tell you that the CENTRAL XAANMOO is provided, in its memory dedicated to the identification of sidereal masses, with 1226 information digits for coding their structural features -Mass, Radiant spectrum for all frequencies - Volume, image of its periphery at a standard distance for each, trajectory, position with respect to a Galactic reference system, foreseen development of its structure, etc.- of which only a fraction is used.

When the image (we do not refer only to the image corresponding to the Optical Spectral band) of a cluster, star, etc.- of which only a fraction is used. When the image (we do not refer only to the image corresponding to the optical band) of a cluster, star, etc. is captured, its characteristics are analysed in order and suitably coded. The XAANMOO then carries out a search process in its memory module until it finds an intra- or extragalactic entity presenting the sum of physical features most similar to the one under study. This identification process barely takes a period of a few thousandths of a UIW. The range of coincidences, on comparing the mutual data, is so great that an error is practically improbable (of the order of 10-16). A second problem, of the inverse type, can be solved by our equipment: identifying, in a Sidereal hemisphere, an intragalactic entity memorized in the XAANMOO. For this, the whole solid angle of 2π steradians is “swept” with the detector, following an ideal spiral path of small pitch (0,002 Earth sexagesimal seconds) until the entity sought is located. But for this our UULXOODII OEMM system is used, which allows the Optical recording of Stars at great distances (Read NOTE 16 of the appendix).

 

Another special device integrated in the UAXOO AXOO Nucleus is the one that allows the UEWA to know its position with respect to the Galactic reference system. (See NOTE 8).

 

INTERSIDEREAL AND ATMOSPHERIC NAVIGATION.

 

Our OAWOLEA UEWA OEMM use as their reference system our own Galactic Coordinate system (of the type you call polar). The procedure for materializing this reference frame consists in selecting four galactic sources of radiation situated at the following respective distances from IUMMA (our solar Star) -I use Earth units.

 

12.382,26 parsecs

19.002,64 parsecs

31,44 parsecs

899,07 parsecs

 

These are intragalactic emitting nuclei which our XAANMOO carefully selected among the most stable (other characteristics were taken into account). Their displacements with respect to the Galactic reference system are perfectly known, so that some simple conversion functions make it possible, through the appropriate calculation process, to locate any problem point within the ideal reference frame, if the distances to the emitting nuclei are known with a certain precision. In practice it is not that distance that is evaluated, but the trigonometric ratios of the angles formed between the ideal lines of sight from the Problem-Point (in our case: the Spaceship) to those radiant entities. (SEE NOTE 8) (U-C Note: NOTE 8 is censored. See link above) For this, as we explain to you in more detail in this Note of the Appendix, the UEWA is provided with four “TRACKING” units (UAXOO) that supply their information to the central XANMOO. Once the polar position coordinates are “known” to it, it integrates the sequence of data relating to a trajectory followed by the UEWA during a certain interval, and is then able to fix the distance at a given instant to any other Galactic entity (our UMMO, for example). Moreover, these data serve it to correct its trajectory automatically, avoiding those zones recorded as dangerous (high density of cosmoliths, intense radiation, high temperature due to proximity of Stars, etc.). Of course this information is overlapped (made simultaneous) with the data supplied directly by its other UAXOO organs (DETECTORS). The XANMOO compares both trains of information. When discrepancies appear (this may be because the memorized data on the Galactic configuration were erroneous, or because the UAXOO (TRANSDUCERS) are disturbed), other standard UAXOO are brought into service to confirm the information reliability of the latter. The crew Brothers can moreover learn of the existence of that anomaly and act accordingly.

 

When the UEWA OEMM is at a point that requires a change of three-dimensional framework, a phenomenon called by us OAWOOLEIDAA is then artificially provoked. Then all its subatomic particles situated within the enclosure bounded by an ideal surface called ITOOA (SEE IMAGE 7) are inverted, and may vanish from the physical control of an observer situated within the other, original framework.

 

 

 

In the new real reference system, the emitting sources I mentioned earlier, which served as “beacons” for the Ship, have no existence. (In reality, for the Ship transferred to that new three-dimensional framework, our own Galaxy ceases to be an entity perceptible with any detecting instrument, however sensitive (at least our Science cannot “see” how a physical system could be designed that would have access to another three-dimensional framework and simultaneously deliver its response to the original one).

 

But for the space travellers the New framework, the new “perspective” of the Cosmos (you must not interpret this change of axes as the passage to a second WAAM (UNIVERSE or COSMOS) but as a new perception of it), is not, however, Isotropic. The new presence of gravitational Fields due to the distribution of masses, electromagnetic Fields and great nebulae of strongly ionized “infinitesimal” corpuscles now serve as new provisional route references.

 

Before the OAWOOLEAIDAA the UEWA OEMM reached a cruising speed which, with the corresponding increase due to the increase in mass experienced after this phenomenon, constitutes the initial kinematic state within the new three-dimensional system.

 

At that instant the central XANMOO memorizes the last positional references with respect to the four sidereal emitting centres mentioned, in order immediately afterwards to select in the new framework six provisional reference points that serve to fix the position of the UEWA in a system foreign to it. All this information is computed in order to calculate at each instant what the new position of the Ship would be if it returned to the previous three-dimensional framework (that is, the Galaxy familiar to us). Naturally, the mathematical function of the “folding of space”, which we call UXGIGIAM ONNOXOO, is known with relative exactness. The errors in the evaluation of that return position are of varying magnitude (from a few hundred KOAE (1 KOAE 8,71 Earth kilometres) up to margins of the order of 105 KOAE.

 

These errors are due:

 

 

In whatever framework it finds itself, the Uewa needs to be accelerated along its trajectory, either to reach different speed regimes that allow it to arrive at different objectives in the time planned, or to dodge some disturbing physical entity (some giant Cosmolith, for example). The acceleration levels rarely reach values of (expressed in Earth units) 24500 GAL. Higher accelerations would cause disastrous effects not only of a biological character on the travelling OEMII, despite their protection systems, but on the very structure and infrastructure of the SHIP. (I have already described to you in (note 6) and in preceding paragraphs on the OOE phase (IMAGE 4) the nature of these protection systems.

 

The most important problems to be solved en route are those arising from the presence of four types of factors that present an undoubted danger for the UEWA OEMM.

 

 

The optimal solution for the first three cases is a new OAWOOLEAIDAA, although in the third case, since the presence of the dangerous Cosmolith can easily be detected at a certain distance, it is feasible to modify the trajectory to avoid it.

 

Another serious drawback arises from the effect of continuous abrasion experienced by the outer zone of the XOODINAA (MEMBRANE) because of cosmic dust. Such disturbance is negligible on “short” journeys, but not when long trajectories have to be covered. Wear by friction could seriously damage the organs integrated in it. Our ships have a protective system which I describe in (NOTE 19). The orange-coloured luminescence observed in our UEWA is nothing but, as we explain in that APPENDIX, a secondary effect of that technical protection.

 

The entry of our Spaceships into the gaseous crust that envelops a very few OYAA (cold Stars) presents, as you may suppose, another order of serious problems.

 

As I have explained to you, Mr ????????????, the profile of our OAWOOLEA UEWA OEMM is neither capricious nor does it obey reasons of aesthetics or of the accommodation of its crew. (SEE NOTE 10) Its morphology has been designed to be as similar as possible to the ideal structure that allows an OAWOLEAIDAA (TRANSFER OF THE THREE-DIMENSIONAL SYSTEM) with a minimum of Power needed at the instant t0. But for this one must sacrifice a structural configuration that would otherwise be optimal (aerodynamic slenderness) for movement within a viscous fluid such as atmospheric air.

 

This geometric contour of the Spaceship, hardly in keeping with the design principles of the Technique for a structure that must often move within gaseous strata of the most disparate characteristics (chemical composition, temperature and density), has to face a new series of unavoidable problems that a spindle-shaped (aerodynamic) design would considerably reduce.

 

Indeed: when one of our UEWA penetrates the densest strata of any atmosphere at speeds you would call hypersonic for that fluid, the heat transferred to the XOODINAA both by the shock layer and by the boundary layer (I use terms familiar to you, although our concepts of Fluid Mechanics are formulated very differently) could not be absorbed, despite its high ablation characteristics, in limiting cases without many of the organs embedded in it deteriorating, or even without its surface melting.

 

The energy losses would moreover be high since, as I told you, it is not possible to shape the profile of the UEWA geometrically so that the laminar regime of the “boundary layer” can be controlled, which is why in certain phases it would become turbulent.

 

In short: the whole problem comes down to controlling, that is, achieving rigorous mastery of, what you call the “BOUNDARY LAYER and SHOCK LAYER” without modifying the profile of the Ship, so that:

 

 

Even so, it is necessary to achieve high values of ablation with the help of the evaporation of the transpired Lithium.

 

The technique that allows us this effective control of the gaseous or liquid environment of the Spaceship is censored in this merely descriptive report, and its scientific bases are unknown to Earth specialists

(SEE NOTE 11) The YUXIDOO equipment, whose function consists in modifying the profile of the dynamic gradients in the adjacent gaseous layers, is distributed in an annular section in the DUII (CROWN OF THE SHIP, see IMAGE 1 (20).

 

Flight autonomy is thus ensured within wide limits of tolerance. For example, a standard speed among the range selected for flights in an Atmosphere of the UMMO type is 12,08 MACH (translated into Earth units). At that regime the compression of the shock wave is such that the temperature exceeds 3500 ºC. The gas molecules, on dissociating, become strongly ionized, and the heat transferred to the surrounding layers is very high.

 

========================================================

 

NOTE NUMBER SIX (6)

 

The EEWEANIXOO constitutes what you would call a “DIVING SUIT or SUIT”.

 

In reality this protector is successively replaced by others of different characteristics for various flight conditions.

 

The EEWEAANIXOO OOE is used precisely in the phase in which the AYIYAA OAYU (IMAGE 1 (12) or TOROIDAL CABIN is filled with a JELLY which we call DAXEE. This gelatinous mass, besides other functions, acts as a shock absorber in the accelerating or decelerating processes of the UEWA.

 

The travelling OEMII is thus embedded within that viscous mass, isolated from direct contact with his brothers and subjected to the dynamics of accelerations which have sometimes exceeded 245 metres / second2 (although these peak gradients in the velocity function last a few fractions of a UIW.

 

The description both of these “SUITS” and of the BIEWIGUU AGOYEE system (PSYCHIC AND PHYSIOLOGICAL-BIOLOGICAL CONTROL) would require, at a popular level, as many pages again as this report.

 

In summary we will tell you that the EEWE (GARMENT) is a complex membrane that surrounds the body of the traveller peripherally, without its surface establishing any mechanical contact with the epidermis of the OEMII (HUMAN BODY).

 

The whole is placed in the gelatinous mass and controlled in such a way that, when an acceleration is about to occur in a given direction, the gelled substance liquefies around it and the traveller's body, with outside help, adopts a suitable posture so that the effects are minimal. The space between the inner surface of the EEWEEANIXOO OOE and the human skin is rigorously controlled according to the degree of capillary vasodilation of the epidermis and its perspiration. In this way the body's metabolic heat takes on the normal values for the traveller's usual conditions. Pressure, absorption of Carbon Dioxide, regulation of Nitrogen, Oxygen, water Vapour and other components of the internal compound gas are self-regulated according to the information supplied by the detectors that monitor at every instant the metabolic and Physiological activities of the respiratory, circulatory and epidermal systems.

 

The Physiological control equipment has been provided with transducer probes that check almost all the organic functions without the need to introduce such ????? (it cannot be read well in the original; it seems to say UAXUOETY or OAXUETT; this note is by the typist) into the organic tissues. From muscular activity and the evaluation of Glycogen and lactic acid levels to the complex monitoring of neurocortical activity, which supplies precise data on the psychic state of the subject, the whole range of biological dynamisms is recorded, and this stream of information is supplied through some 2,16 · 106/ information channels to a XANMOO which, after comparing it with standard patterns, “dictates” the effector or motor responses to the organs of the BIEWIGUU AGOIEE.

 

Feeding takes place by introducing paste through the mouth. Some foods and the water are introduced in capsules with a tasteless coating that dissolves instantly on contact with saliva. The thermal gradient varies in the different peripheral zones of the enclosure. The sensation we experience on the journey during the OOE phase, in the intervals when acceleration is zero or moderate, can be defined as a placid perception of floating on a cushion of warm air. The vestibular effects caused by the rotation of the AYIYAA OAYUU to produce artificial gravity are barely noticed, owing to the introduction, by means of a simple surgical intervention, of two control devices in the vicinity of the membranous labyrinth (both, needle-shaped, are inserted without damaging tissues or the arterial and neuronal network)

 

The space separating the epidermis from the EEWE undergoes a considerable enlargement at the face, in the shape of a truncated cone. The base of this truncated cone, which the eye can take in at an angle of 130 sexagesimal degrees at a distance of 23 centimetres, is a screen provided over its area with some 16 · 107 excitable centres, each capable of radiating, at various levels of intensity, the whole electromagnetic spectrum between 3,9 · 1014 and 7,98 · 1014 cycles /second. The definition of the images obtained is high enough that the two eyes cannot discriminate between normal visual perceptions and that generated artificially in this organ. Binocular vision is achieved thanks to the prismatic arrangement of each emitting nucleus. The excitation of opposite faces, in such a way that neither eye has access to the image or mosaic of the other, is achieved in a very complex way. (IMAGE A). (U-C Note: Image A is missing)

 

A transducer records the electric fields generated by the ocular muscles of both eyes (true electromyograms). The XANMOO thus knows at every moment the orientation of the pupillary axis. On the other hand, the excitable prisms that make up the screen (these being of microscopic dimensions) are located on the surface of a layer of viscous emulsion that allows them to rotate freely. These prisms are controlled mechanically by means of a double magnetic field, so that half of them obey a horizontal component of the field and the rest the transverse one. In this way each group orients its faces independently, just as two Venetian blinds of the kind used by Earth people orient their slats independently when one pulls the cords that regulate the angle at which light enters. (In this case the “cords” will be the two magnetic fields, and the driving factor the response of the XANMOO to the muscular micromovements of the eyeball.

 

Binocular perception offers images with normal relief, so that the subject believes he is living in a real world, far from the envelope and the gelatinous mass surrounding him. He may try to grasp objects that he “sees close to him”, and since the freedom of muscular movement is ample despite the resistance of the viscous medium, it is advisable that he should “try” to do so, in order to avoid muscular inactivity.

 

The acoustic stimuli are synchronized with the image. The traveller can see the faces of his brothers, talk with them, or immerse himself in the landscape full of ANAUGAA (a tree species) of our distant forests of UMMO. Two YOYGOAAXOO lodged in the nostrils supply, in sequences not as rich as in the natural environment but fast enough, programmes of IAIKEAI (OLFACTORY STIMULI), also synchronized with the image. This is one of the aspects of the Psychobiological control to which the travelling brother is subjected. We can at will display the control equipment of the UEWA, or read a study text. One of the most interesting means is DOOGOO. Thanks to this system, the muscular movements imitating the grip of a stylus -or, as you would call it, a pencil or brush- are injected, after being recorded, into the XANMOO. This orders the responses of the hand as if it had in fact traced a drawing, a graph or a text. The artificial image of this fictitious composition appears on the binocular screen, as if one had in fact drawn such graphic characters on a surface.

 

A device integrated in the rectum collects the traveller's faeces. These are first dehydrated; the residues are then, by rigorous chemical analysis, dissociated and transmuted into Oxygen or another gaseous chemical element. Something similar is done with the urine, so that the chemically pure water of both excretions, together with the surplus from the gaseous enclosure of the EEWEE (whose degree of humidity is a continuously regulated function), is sent to the central tanks in the form of vapour.

NOTE NUMBER TEN (10)

 

The structural morphology of our OAWOOLEA UEWA OEMM has a peculiar profile that approximates fairly well to the ideal prototype we call YONNIANA (It is an untranslatable mathematical term).

 

YONNIANA is a solid of revolution that we will describe to you below. Its configuration as a modelled volume is optimal for the construction of a Spaceship capable of inverting its IBOZOO YUU in order to travel in another three-dimensional framework.

 

I have already explained to you that, to achieve OAWOOLEAIDAA, any mass requires an energy input whose amount depends exclusively on the value of this inert mass. Of course, after this inversion, that energy is gradually restored in the form of mass, but that is another, marginal question.

 

However, the energy input does not take place in an instant. In a prior process, different levels of Power are supplied at each instant. As the instant t0 of the OAWOOLEIDAA approaches, the Power needed keeps increasing until, in some structural models, it reaches extremely high levels.

 

The POWER Function (a function of Time) is different for each geometric type of structure (IMAGE A); that is, it varies with the profile or shape of the enclosure.

 

IMAGE A

 

In the images we have represented seven structures, on the assumption of identical mass in all of them (so that the energy for the inversion of the IBOZOO UU is equivalent).

 

IMAGE A

 

See, however, how the Power brought into play at each instant during the interval Δt preceding t0 (INVERSION OF THE IBOZOO UU) varies in such a way that it comes to reach an inordinate value -compared with other models- in the case of the cylinder with DIAMETER = HEIGHT.

 

There is a singular case not reflected in the series: the REGULAR TETRAHEDRON. For a mass shaped according to that polyhedron, the Power needed at the instant /t0/ becomes (tends to ) infinite, while Δt becomes practically zero. (Needless to say, a ship built with that peripheral structure is unfeasible).

 

The series of IMAGE A has been ordered according to the criterion of classifying the profiles by the “Maximum Power Needed” to achieve the OAWOOLEAIDAA.

 

The most suitable structural type, as I indicate above, is the YONNIANNAA.

 

Unfortunately, functional requirements that are mutually incompatible make it necessary to force the profile towards a shape that, while keeping some features of the former, can at the same time fulfil many other simultaneous conditions related to intragalactic Navigation and to the functionality of the on-board equipment.

 

YONNIANNA is the name we give to a solid of revolution whose half-profile is expressed analytically by a very elementary function that you surely know:

 

 

 

The YONNIANNAA would be expressed by a volume resulting from duplicating, about a plane of symmetry AB, the solid of revolution generated by rotating the dotted surface of IMAGE B about the axis of rotation (y, -y).

 

 

IMAGE B

 

The equatorial plane would be defined by the value y=1, and the resulting volume would theoretically extend to infinity.

 

On the other hand, this profile or any other is valid for navigating in Galactic space. When I speak of the OPTIMAL PROFILE I mean it in relation to the minimum “maximum Power” needed to invert its subparticles, but unfortunately it is not optimal when it comes to flight within a viscous fluid such as the air familiar to you. (Note that the second structure in the list is a cylinder capped by two ogives.) Of course, the profiles of IMAGE A have been selected as a random sample. Back

NOTE NUMBER ELEVEN (11)

 

It is possible to control the thermal gradient of the molecules of a fluid (and therefore their mean velocity) by means of a remote energy transfer.

 

Imagine a molecule (IMAGE A) situated at a distance / / from our YUUXIIO (GAS CONTROL EQUIPMENT) and moving with a given kinetic energy along a defined trajectory

 

(U-C Note: Above, image from the Villagrasa Report; below, that of the Aguirre compilation)

 

An energy transfer dW can be made to the molecule, which will modify its inertial state (velocity, mass and direction).

 

This transfer dW is an infinitesimal fraction of the incremental Energy generated by the YUUXIIO Equipment, an Energy whose value will be Δ w

 

It holds that:

 

 

 

a parameter that is a function of the efficiency of the YUUXIO and of the molecular mass: dm

 

 

(expressed in IMAGE A as a distance represented by our character

 

It is obvious that if one wishes to control gaseous strata very far from the Ship, very great activating energies would be needed, which is why in practice the control of fluid masses of great magnitude becomes unfeasible. Back

NOTE NUMBER NINETEEN (19)

 

NIIO ADOGOOI SYSTEM The mass of the UEWA OEMM creates a gravitational Field which, although not excessively intense, accelerates -in some intragalactic regions through which it sails, where the density of cosmic dust is appreciable- particles of various kinds that crash against the XOODINAA (COVERING), causing over long periods, through the effect of this continuous abrasion, irreparable wear.

 

Our NIIO ADOGOOI system avoids this risk. The UOXOODINNAA (surface layer of the MEMBRANE) is provided with a very thin sublayer (XOODINAADOO) (IMAGE A) made up of very fine colloidal particles of Platinum emulsified in a medium of high dielectric coefficient.

 

 

Distributed around the periphery of the Ship are the NIIO ADOUAXOO (IONIZING CELLS), which perform a double function. In the first place they evaluate the electrostatic gradients in the immediate surroundings of the UEWA. If a great Nebula of cosmic dust (solid particles of Methane, for example, or of Nickel-Iron, or of Ammonia, or of silicon, etc.) surrounds the Ship, the particles may be neutral (without electric charge) or ionized (+ or -)

 

Suppose the first case: (NEUTRAL) The particles will be directed towards the Ship because the gravitational gradient favours this flow (IMAGE B).

 

 

 

Beforehand, the detection systems we have described to you elsewhere in the report have recorded the spatial density of these particles, their gravimetric spectrum (that is, the statistical distribution according to their masses and morphologies), their chemical composition and their mean electrostatic charge (zero in the case in question), as well as their kinematic function with respect to the emitting Galactic Reference Nuclei (relative speed and direction of displacement, coefficient of expansion of the Nebula, etc.)

 

All these data are analysed in the central XANMOO, provoking the response of the NIIO ADOGOOI (ANTI-ABRASION PROTECTION SYSTEM). The ion-generating cells (NIIO ADOUAXOO) emit electrons driven with high Energy, which are projected outwards in paraboloid trajectories. IMAGE C.

 

 

Simultaneously, the membrane of colloidal platinum (XOODINNADOO) has been charged to an electrostatic potential that can reach values between 180.000 and 900.600 volts (negative potential). Any particle heading towards the membrane (IMAGE B) with velocity U captures at least one or several electrons from the flow emitted by the UEWA. The particle becomes ionized. Since the electric potential gradient is very high in the vicinity of the ship, the electrical repulsion compensates both for its original kinetic energy and for the force of gravitational attraction, so that the aggressor particle is deflected in its trajectory and does not make contact with the surface of the UOXODINAA.

 

If the cosmic dust were already ionized, the platinum submembrane is electrified with a charge identical to that of the aggressor NEBULA.

 

Note that the XOODINAADOO is protected by another upper stratum of the same ceramic product or material as the UOXOODINAA.

 

A secondary effect of charge transfer between the free surface of the membrane and the sublayer of colloidal Platinum gives rise to a photon emission from the ceramic crust within the spectrum visible to our retinas, at wavelengths in vacuum of 596,9 Earth millimicrons and 602,34 or 612,68 millimicrons. This electroluminescence is not caused by the impact of electrons on the mass, but by the electric field they generate as they pass through the translucent ceramic mass. An outside observer perceives an intense luminosity whose hue depends on the wavelength emitted, ranging from yellowish-green to carmine. These colour tones are not always the same, depending of course on the chemical composition of the ceramic covering.

 

Nor should the luminosity of our UEWA OEMM seen from afar be attributed in every case to this electroluminescence. On some occasions the UOXOODINAA, in its peripheral crust, is thermally activated until it reaches a temperature high enough to attain the radiant level you call cherry-red. This is done for two reasons: to burn off the oxygen deposited in its pores and, on the other hand, to free its surface of microorganisms and other organic remains before leaving the Atmosphere for other destinations. This last measure is part of the general asepsis programme of the Ship that precedes Interplanetary Navigation. (The process is called AIAIEDUNNEII; we thus avoid disturbing the ecological environment of each OYAA with biological structures foreign to it in their origin.

 

The control of the electrostatic Potential in each surface unit of the XOODINAADOO is designed in such a way that the distribution of charges (electrostatic surface density) can vary from one region to another, to the point that in one area the density barely reaches a few tenths of a microcoulomb even though it is surrounded by zones of very high potential. The potential function is therefore not constant for areas of the same curvature or warp; in short, it is not harmonic over the periphery of the Ship. There are several reasons for making use of this flexibility in the distribution of electric charge. In the first place, the density of aggressor particles is not identical over the whole outer periphery; moreover, since these are oriented in one direction (UYUUNOODII) (WIND OF COSMIC PARTICLES), naturally not all of them will strike the Ship with the same kinetic energy. Abrasion would be more intense in a defined zone than in other areas, and that zone will have to be protected with a more intense potential.

 

Furthermore: cancelling the charge in precise areas makes it possible, thanks to the secondary effect of electroluminescence, to make drawings, insignia or graphic signs visible at a distance appear in any surface zone of the Ship, modifying their shape at will as easily as Earth writing on a blackboard. Finally, it may happen that at a given instant the high potential of a zone disturbs some measurement or analysis in a UAXOO (TRANSDUCER) in operation, in which case the XANMOAYUBAA cancels the distorting surface charge.
