Nothing says billionaires are geniuses like building a giant multi billion dollar data center that can easily be taken out with a big enough EMP, and then choose to guard it with $300k robots that also can be taken out with that same EMP.
These people should not be allowed around money.
Next they’re gonna hire Superman to guard their Kryptonite factory.
Aren’t EMP’s hard to induce though? Like there is a big one in a nuclear explosion, but outside of that, how can you make one without megawatts of power connected to a vehicle sized device?
Small EMPs are relatively easy to generate and if memory serves there was at least one test in the 90s that was basically an EMP generator that could be shoved into a moving van suck off the grid and then go off. There has been relatively little open research on this subject for obvious reasons.
Possibly but the 90s were peak BS R&D only really behind WW2 R&D, fucky caseless munitions, weird computer warfare experiments, early modern drones, Et cetera. Mind you the damned thing may have only worked once on a fluke but it’s well within believablity given everything else being fucked with at the time.
What is interesting, there was just an article, these scientists made this super magnet that was really small, like 1,000x stronger by size and using way less electricity to do t. I forget some rare earths it was made of. Just a week back maybe wish I read it closer. I wonder if that could make a bigger emp surge easier.
Thankfully we have large vehicles that can drive around vehicle sized devices, and if you’re looking for ridiculous amounts of power, have I got something to tell you about datacenters…
These armies are just open sesame to the right person. They don’t know how to conduct war in modern day only overpower with superior forces. Otherwise they wouldn’t be struggling so much.

So uhhh where are you getting all these EMPs from?

Oceans 11 bullshit.
