Desty Nova's brain bio chips

Post by vahid »

How was Desty Nova able to create Nova II after Jim Roscoe removed Desty Nova's biochips from his body and they fell into the hands of Alita and ping Wu?
It seems, both the main chip and the backup chip were removed from Desty Nova's body, but later we saw that Aga Mbadi extracted another chip from inside Nova II's brain. Can Nova create new chips from himself? If so, why did he need a backup chip in his stomach?"

Nova II (later Super-Nova) is a sterotonomy clone create by nanomachines that triggered as soon as the original died. He is a 1:1 replica of the original down to the neural pathways.

Sterotonomy is what created Flan Nova and the numerous decoy-clones that caused so much trouble in chapter 120-122. This is explained in depth on the cover of chapter 122.

Nova made himself immortal, his nanomachines can rebuild his body (and brainchip) in almost any circumstance, however the process takes up a few days, so for the sake of fast recovery he carries a backup brain chip inside his guts.

Desty Nova needed the back up brain on Earth, but I think he got an ability upgrade as soon as he gets to orbit. THAT might be spelled out in the fake 1st ending but it is clear after we meet the Flan Nova.

YES, that version can create new biochips from thin air and has no need for the backup "arnim zola" chest brain, other than operational tactical "spare" parts...he needs to want to live and stay in 1 body.

It is super sci fi...I used to think it was molecule based "nanotech" like viruses and bacteria; but upon close rereading it is subatomic/fairy dust .... so he has a cloud of orbiting subatomic particle machines, and the general idea from real science is that they can take anything apart and create anything including more of themselves; which is super weird because they are like ....little clouds of force as far as we can tell, and not thingie-thing like that apple or that atom of carbon, which are made up of these little clouds of force in reality, as far as we can tell and test and describe. I think this is the shortest path to understanding the general scientific understanding of this subatomic nanotech fairy dust. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_interaction

It is interesting like Star Trek tech because so many scenarios leave you asking "why don't you transporter something something matter creator"
