The industry of this hypothetical UMMO planet is absolute fascinating. The authors of the documents pretend to have completely solved the problem of energy production, by direct synthesis of anti-matter. This "basic energy" would then be stored in production units. When one want to produce any type of object, including something so complex as a vessel, no component would be assembled with hands. The Ummits pretend that their computers have quite huge storage capacities, not conceivable by us. The memories of this computers would be titan crystals, absolutely pure, cooled at the absolute zero. The information would be stored at the atomic level, through the excitation of the electronic layers of the atoms. To such a low temperature, these "excited states" have an infinite life time. The plans of any machine or device could so be stored is a reduced volume. Let's notice that our storage capacities today would have been not thinkable by the contemporaneous of Gutenberg. The machines would be assembled atom after atom, molecules per molecules, those being synthesised through transmutation of any basic material. Let us think at the way the Ummits have synthesised "in situ" the alloy for the arches of the refuge. They could copy any object, with a precision at the level of the atom. On Earth, we use photocopy machines. When you introduce a sheet of paper in the machine you get perfect copy of your document. What would stupefied a man of the Renaissance is now a every day action. We already have three dimensional printers. These are tanks filled with a light-harden liquid. When its level goes up, step by step, a laser solidified this liquid (layer after layer). At the end of the operation we obtain a hard copy of the object, in three dimensions. 114 The production system on UMMO.
