Using the BAG to create <span class="mu-s">new superheavy elements</span> is a mostly theortical and experimental choice- but stable superheavy elements have a lot of potential to advance your technology in unexpected ways. The knock on effect of these new materials ends up advancing technology in all kinds of areas! The advancements take a <span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-i">leisurely ten years</span></span>.
Immediately, there is research in memory alloys and super conductive materials- the super conductors work out better and a new, faster, cooler AI core model is quickly designed and spread around for your computer network. This is perfect for the near-to-term Threemind project. But while your Baalathi knowledge is lacking there; There is also a newfound discovery of superheavy ferromagnetic metals- incredibly useful to advance the Baalathi magnetic-ring technology used by your empire to store and channel vast amounts of energy from fusion reactors. This advancement makes your magnetic-batteries nearly lossless; as long as they are properly contained, and kept in microgravity- they could keep spinning for <span class="mu-i">millions</span> of years.
Hwat is also pleased with advanced metallurgical processes being improved by the superheavy materials. Truth be told, your <span class="mu-i">planetary invasion doctrine</span>, first invented by Vantix & Bost Garastra back at the beginning of the space age, has not advanced in the slightest since then. The doctrine calls for indiscriminate civilian and military bombardment using Tungstun rods for a nonradioactive kinetic weapon before ground troops and supporting drones are dropped in to capture the planet. <span class="mu-i">Superheavy rods</span> can crater the earth with their impacts- acting as high powered bunker and nearly city destroying in their potential. Your own moral sense of right and wrong is somewhat itching at these weapons; at what point does a kinetic weapon become essentially an atomic bomb?
But the biggest advancement of all comes by a complete surprise- be <span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">complete dumb luck</span></span>, the elements used to create the crystal matrices used to generate artifical gravity and shields are found to have a superheavy alternative. Only possible due to your research into the Space Whales and your own high degree of intelligence to put forward the project- you end up <span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">advancing your fusion reactor.</span></span> You can now sustain Deuterium fusion along with Tritium to create much hotter, brighter, and more powerful fusion reactors. From an ultra-hot flux cloud, you have now formed a <span class="mu-i">protostar</span>.
