Dunno if i missed something, but what is the basis for saying that we have 10 to 100 million species on earth since begining. The range is too large for the estimates to have any credibilty. Do we know definitevely that its not 3 million or maybe 2million and one.
The battery is one of the things but:
I remember from good ol engineering days that cooling solutions for computers were also a cause for preventing miniaturization. Good ol fan still does the job inspite of infinite layout changes to manage conductive and convective heat flows better inside a box.
In fact in forseeable future, energy generation and harnessing is less likely to be a challenge than controlling its side effects like heating etc. which might be a problem with miniaturization.
As an aside, if we actually achieve "a tactical nuke in a cell" I hope our security detection technology also grows as fast, for a peaceful world. This I think is going to prevent too much power being packed in less from being publicly available even of conquered technically.
