![]() ![]() I told you, they can't keep their technology. (Given that the Pak are very biologically similar to Earth life, they must be descended from Thrintun food yeast - like the Kzin, who can eat humans - and thus be much later than the Slaver era.)Įven if it's now canon (and IIRC the Man-Kzin Wars stuff generally isn't), the Pak tend to lose technology: The "surviving Suicide Night" thing, if correct, must have been established in much later material & wasn't part of the original idea. Given the extreme intelligence of protectors, that implies their knowledge of biochemistry must have been (at the start of the project) below ours now. No wonder a small colony couldn't solve it. Though it had the protectors of Pak going crazy for awhile. ![]() It's not that good a design, I could improve it blindfold, but you could buy Ceres with the monopoles!Īnd figuring out the tree-of-life/thallium issue was a serious difficulty for the united childless protectors of Pak under Pssthpok: (If they built the Ringworld, some must have been more advanced, at one point.)Īt the time Pssthpok showed up in Sol System, humans had invented the ramscoop, but didn't have manned ones yet on the other hand, Brennan considered Pssthpok's ship pretty poor: ![]() ![]() Their technology was not that advanced, really, at least in Pssthpok's era. ![]()
