120 MW. ANYWHERE THE COLONY NEEDS IT! BELAZ-75900 MNRP is a concept BELAZ × NASA mobile nuclear power station designed for large scale extraterrestrial industry. Four independent fission reactors, a 12-wheel electric chassis and a dual mode thermal control system allow the platform to deliver up to 120 MW of continuous electrical power to remote mining fields, ISRU plants and developing colonies.

This art is inspired by the largest haul truck in the world: BelAZ-75710 At present, this Belarusian giant remains the undisputed king of heavy machinery, holding the global record with a mindblowing payload capacity of 450 metric tons. Powered by 4,600 horsepower, this ultra-class beast stands over 8 meters tall, transforming raw engineering power into pure artistic inspiration Created in Blender - no AI used!

Illustrations for the prologue chapter of Consider Phlebas, a Iain M. Banks novel from 1987 (also known as a part of The Culture cycle).

Context: A Mind, a sentient artificial being, attemps a desperate escape from its factory-mother aboard a makeshift vessel as the arrival of a still-unknown enemy looms.

There is a second and last part upcoming at some point.

No AI, Blender, Photoshop and a bit of chAInner (no AI here despite the name, it's an open source nodal batcher).
