Japanese Miracle
ItemThe Japanese Miracle names a cloud of micromachines engineered to scrub radiation out of the environment. The breakthrough handed Japan a monopoly on cleaning contaminated land and, with it, a path back to standing among the world's great powers.
Overview
The Japanese Miracle, known to some as the Asian Miracle, refers to a swarm of micromachines designed to strip radiation from a contaminated landscape.
Function
Deploying the swarm lets an area be cleared of harmful fallout, a capability no other nation possesses. Japan first put it to work during the most recent war and again as World War III drew to a close, treating the technology as both a practical tool and a bargaining chip.
Notable Users
By owning the only working method for radiation removal, Japan climbed back to superpower status and hoped the edge would let it stand level with, or even above, the American Empire. Accounts that speak of an Asian Miracle are taken to describe this same technology rather than a separate application of it.
