Collapse Technology has been found and studied by mankind to a point of rough understanding in the relics sites left by this civilization.<ref name=Files1>[[The Art of Girls' Frontline Vol.1]], Confidential Files, {{cite|cf1|part. 1}}</ref>
==Description==
The unknown civilization had a radically different understanding of physics from mankind. They understood the most stable state of matter to be fluid rather than solid thanks to their fine control over subatomic particles, and particularly their ability to harness the natural attractive state of particles to reverse them in time to a previous spatial configuration. Collapse Technology can be understood as knocking a brick wall down, spreading the bricks around, and Anti-Reverse Collapse Technology as the action of reverting the wall to its original state.
Such feat is in contradiction with the modern understanding of quantum physics: as stated by Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, the direction and position of a subatomic particle cannot be both known at the same time. Yet, both these data would be critical in the effort of reconstructing any macroscopic object. This means that Collapse Technology is the missing bridge between micro and macro scales, the last obstacle to a unified understanding of physics.<ref name=Files1 />
The Anti-Reverse Collapse Pestre-class mass reconstruction formula used by mankind in the 2070s was m0 = (m^2/t0) / (g^2/m). It means the mass of the reconstructed matter is directly proportional to the wavelength of the Collapse molecular compression, and inversely proportional to the diffraction speed of the Anti-Reverse Collapse electron.<ref name=Files5 />
==Collapse Fluid==

Collapse Fluid is the exotic matter used to disrupt the attractive and repulsive states of particles. It is not actually a fluid in the proper sense of the term, but rather a particle-wave expanding in the matter to be compressed, stopping its spread once it achieved a state of quantum stability.
Another dangerous aspect of Collapse Fluid is its ability to build up heat under heavy pressure, leading to an explosion once the temperature reaches a certain threshold. This property was responsible for the [[First Beilan Island Incident]].<ref name=Files3 /> A way to counter such an event is to evaporate the Collapse Fluid particles with molten plutonium, such as the one used in nuclear reactors.<ref>[[The Art of Girls' Frontline Vol.1]], Confidential Files, {{cite|cf1|part. 8}}</ref>
==Uses==
Mankind's progress in mastering Collapse Technology has been slow. Despite the widespread efforts to uncover new relic sites after World War Two, no country was able to study Collapse Technology in its full breadth of application until the establishment of the [[United Nations]] Relic Science Agency in 1992. In the 40 years after the war, even superpowers couldn't make use of the technology for purposes other than explosive weaponry.<ref name=Files1 /> Uncaring handling of Collapse Fluid became responsible for the [[First Beilan Island Incident]], and indirectly [[World War Three]].
In the 2070s, Collapse reaction piles were still needing miniaturization, and the maximum amount of mass able to be used in one Collapse or Anti-Reverse Collapse operation was limited to 24 tons. Advanced military applications of Collapse Technologies were employed by the [[Antarctic Union]] to gain a devastating strategic advantage over the [[Union of Rossartrism Nations Coalition]] during the [[First Antarctic War]].<ref name=Files5>[[The Art of Girls' Frontline Vol.1]], Confidential Files, {{cite|cf1|part. 5}}</ref>
===Storage and transmission of matter===
In the 1970s, both the [[Soviet Union]] and the [[United States]] experimented with the use of Collapse Fluid as a non-nuclear weapon of mass destruction. The US scientists managed to interlace marking compounds and added a radial propagation system to their pressured containers in order to make the expansion of the Collapse Fluid clearly visible.<ref name=Files1 />
In 20632064, five radial-dispersion canisters containing small amounts of Collapse Fluid colored with a green marking compound were illegally used as dirty bombs in Eastern Europe by [[Federal Bureau of State Security Service]] agent [[Angelia]] against [[Sangvis Ferri]] and the [[KCCO]]. When the explosives they were attached to detonated, the explosion vaporized all surface objects within 500 meters of the epicenter of explosion and immediately triggered ELID symptoms in nearby humans.<ref>[[Singularity]] {{cite|gfl|sg|3-5, Last Resort V}}</ref> This event is comparable to the [[First Beilan Island Incident]] on a much smaller scale: the Collapse Fluid was subjected to the intense pressure of the explosion, creating in turn a bigger explosion before spreading radioactive Collapse Fluid particles in the area.
===Energy production===
In 2047, Jonas Deming completed the first experimental reactor using Anti-Reverse Collapse technology in [[Hollow City]].<ref name=Files4>[[The Art of Girls' Frontline Vol.1]], Confidential Files, {{cite|cf1|part. 4}}</ref>
