System Specs

This tech is nowhere near production. They have no idea how to make these pure carbon structures on a large scale yet. We have known the properties of these structures for quite some time like with buckminsterfullerine. Figuring out how to produce large quantities of it is the struggle right now. Then after they figure out how to do so then they will have to work on how to make connecting structures out of it after they have the pieces to make something. Assemble it with nanomachines? Working with it to create something useful is far off sadly.
