Fortuna Verto

44-Reusable Research

Lyun kept dedicated to her pursuits in earnest for her own progress, pushing herself towards a feeling of accomplishment that felt so close to her. With the events that had just occurred, she was still in high spirits, and was determined to turn confidence into success.

She's already done quite well in such regards too. When it came to matters of true chaos, she had found her arm really was a flowing reserve of elements. Not only that, but directing elements through it could actually manipulate such elements as well. She could simply will the chaos to strengthen elements or shield the effects of them, like her arm was the most complicated type of kyuemu.. thing.. that had ever existed. Her arm couldn't even be called a shard, it was bigger than any shard she had ever seen before in that light, more like a gigantic cluster. Handling calibration of elements was even a sizable feature, allowing for a lot of easy manipulation of instrumentation in their everyday life if they so desired. This still left a lot unknown overall about their true chaos, but it was at least a strong base understanding from the perspective of this world.

On matters more relevant to this world, things were already much more complicated. She had taken some opportunity to practice designing what she had taken to calling frost holos, but it really wasn't the same. A real holo could carry an insane weight, especially one designed well enough. Her gift's creations weren't even enough to support more than a small box. She had at least managed to get her power gear to boost her gift enough for her to stand upon it, but that's about the farthest she could go with it. What was much more intricate though was making frost designs with her gift, actually artistic patterns, especially if the goal was to have them immaterial. Her frost patterns could have a very high quality detail to them, representing even really tiny details with clarity and a great stability. Walking through her work didn't even affect it, though the patterns could feel quite cold. The only thing that would really impact her designs would be too much fire elemental, but that was only to be expected. Water elemental might make her work a bit more annoying though, as the water would freeze the entire construct as ice.

In truth, all of this elemental stuff was even starting to bore her, she was far more inclined to consider things a lot more scientifically. However, she was aware that Axln would be affected by her actions there as well, she would have to minimize the time she invoked science and simply tried to put stuff together in preparation for science. Supposedly both time travellers had come here doing that already, making things that were expected to be functional even without having access to the environment that would be required for their function. However, both of them simply had known what they would be making, she was still in a learning process. She would thus have to consider and remember concepts of science, set up something that should work, then use small windows to check her creations. It would be annoying, but somehow she just felt that she could trust her depth of scientific expertise to make up for the difference.

Of course, there were plenty of things that might have also helped in this situation. Having actual supplies and equipment, having practical experience with everything that amounted to a lot more time than the short period she's had as Rosa, maybe even having an informational resource that actually compiled a half decent repository of relevant notes. Of course though, notes would have to be readable to her, the notes here were readable but not relevant, the notes of the other world were relevant but not readable. Instead, she had to depend on people for information, like Kori, Holi, Drew, or Tristine. Overall, she was at a loss right now, which would explain her first few failures. As it stood, her greatest scientific passion was in holography, so it was the foremost thing she was eager to reproduce. After all, most holography required complex computing for processing, like nanites, but herself.. as Rosa.. she had been producing quality holos from the complex computer called her mind. Certainly, such an advantage would exist here as Lyun, as long as science applied. However, holos also required the machinery that produced it, the OSIDFs. Optical Spectrum Ionic Diffusion, or Diffuser if you were considering the object instead of the technology. The thing then manipulated ionized particles with matter to create the holo effect. This implied that one challenge was making the thing, the second was creating an ionic reaction. The resource they had found underground simulates a thermal or even plasma reaction, but that just wasn't good enough.
