Description
Hwangite [Hwg]
- Chernov-Kakuma Series #: 161
Hwangite is a chemical element that in its natural form is disastrously brittle despite being a metal and despite its atomic weight. Pure Hwangite will shatter under the slightest tension or stress which makes using it in pure form for anything impossible. Where this material comes into use is in anti-corrosion alloys where it is used with Tsintusuma where the subject material is expected to experience severe exposure to molecularly corrosive phenomena. Thus, it is most commonly used to coat plasma agitators and injectors in reactors as well as in reflectors as its purified form imparts a very glossy silvery coating. The lack enough of Hwangite in the construction of storage tanks for refined Gallentyne is the reason that it was exposed to Zeutron radiation resulting in the self-replenishing effect. Unlike a lot of other critical resources Hwangite is processed into tubes and a structural integrity insert is placed within. These tubes are packed to the brim in special shock-neutralizing shipping containers. Hwangite shipments are always marked as fragile and are always placed in the core-most cargo holds of a shipping vessel to prevent breakage.
Author's Note: The people who packed those Hwangite rods in the picture are totally getting fired.
