Assuming a Kardashev 1.5 civilization (which is, based on your comments, about where we are), and that 1% of the energy produced is devoted to making antimatter at 1% efficiency, and that 1% of that can be used for weapons applications (the remainder, obviously, being used for antimatter catalyzed fusion drives), we're talking about 35 tonnes per year for weapons applications alone. That's enough for about 200 billion antimatter catalyzed explosive rounds.
Suffice it to say that I can get what I need from a fairly small investment.
Sure, sure.
Or that equivalent industrial energy can manufacture and arm ~40,000 warships of approximately 100,000 long tonnes of aviation-grade titanium alloys.
I’ve made my point. You can take it or leave it; I’m mainly clarifying it for other folks who might interact with you.
I'd be curious to see your math for that. Is it just heat of fusion, or what?
