'''Collapse Technology''' (坍塌技术) and its counterpart '''Anti-Reverse Collapse Technology''' (逆向坍塌技术)<ref>Chapter 13-4E</ref><ref>逆向坍塌 has been translated “Anti-Collapse” by fans and in [[The Art of Girls' Frontline Vol.1]], but is rendered as “Reverse Collapse” in the title of [[Reverse Collapse: Code Name Bakery]] and “Counter-Collapse” on Girls' Frontline [http://gf.sunborngame.com/ official website] and on the cover of the first volume of the manga.“Reverse Collapse” is used in the title of [[Reverse Collapse: Code Name Bakery]]</ref> are methods of matter hypercompression developed by the [[Relic Technology|unknown civilization]] using '''Collapse Fluid''' (坍塌液), and is the basis of all [[Relic Technology]]. 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, 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==
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, part. 5</ref>
