blokkolsz

Blokkolsz is a fictional material used in speculative fiction and tabletop role-playing games to describe a versatile, self-healing building substance employed in modular block construction.

In-universe, blokkolsz is described as a nanoengineered composite consisting of a ceramic-epoxy matrix infused with shape-memory polymers. It combines high compressive strength with low density and the ability to repair micro-damage autonomously, restoring structural integrity after minor impacts. The material is also resistant to radiation and thermal cycling, maintaining performance across a wide temperature range.

Manufacture and use: Production occurs in automated facilities that combine mineral feedstocks with polymer precursors. It can be extruded or cast into standard-sized blocks, which interlock with compatible connectors to form load-bearing structures. Buildings constructed from blokkolsz are modular and reconfigurable, enabling rapid reorganization of space.

History and in-fiction role: The term blokkolsz originated in the early 24th century within the fictional continent of Vorania, where it first appeared in technical manuals and urban planning guides. It has since become a staple in many settings, particularly in space habitats and disaster-relief architecture, where rapid assembly and resilience are valued.
