OOC:Open Science Thread. Azumi Kasumi'Oji has an OOC invitation to show up somehow, but anyone else is free to come do Science.
The creaking of an office chair... The idle tapping of keyboard keys... The steady rumble of a highway... The infrequent car horns when traffic backs up... The day at the office was incredibly boring for the billionaire inventor Kazura Uzaki. His paperwork was caught up, his employees were out on various tasks or taking the day off, and the spiritual world was calm. Maybe the Shinigami were bringing a large force of students to the area or something, because there was an abnormally low Hollow incident count at present.
Sliding his rolling chair back from the desk, Kazura decided he was going to make use of the slow day and just tinker. He rolled back until he was about to hit the wall, before the bookshelf slid aside at mental command to reveal an elevator. The office chair was kicked back into the desk and the inventor lowered himself into one of his various laboratories. He went from being at his desk and computer in the penthouse office to being in one of the basements at a desk and computer. The only difference was this desk had ample work space and tubes that brought him materials he may need.
The Science to be done today was on his gauntlets. They were too... simple. Yeah, they shot out blasts of air, but pushing people wasn't going to cut it. It wasn't damaging enough. With creatures like Myza the "Seventh Most Fit" in existence, he needed to step up his game. Every single one of his attacks had been foiled, overwhelmed by her defensive skin. Well, if there is one thing that gets rid of pesky skin, it is fire. Water could work too, entering weak points. Those two would be helpful additions to the air cannons... but how would one go about adapting the current tech to do all three jobs?
Adding a water tank and a fuel tank would take up precious space, and lugging those around at all times would be heavy and cumbersome. Instead, it would be far better for him to see what he could do with the already allocated space. So, to the computer for research he went. He searched through the typical components of air, molecular composition, all sorts of things. He just scanned through and absorbed a lot of the information. He was good at that. It would be easy to make air catch on fire with some focused chemical reactions, and it'd be possible to extract water vapor out of the air as well, so maybe those could come in handy.
First, how to work out fire. Nitrogen, the main component of air, was largely inert and unable to burn. And Oxygen the second most prevalent component of air needed something to burn. It wouldn't even work well as a fuel. It just let things burn easier. And there was so little hydrogen in the air, on average .6 parts per million, that using that as a primary source of fuel was going to be tough. But... if the Nitrogen could be somehow converted to Carbon and Hydrogen safely... Hydrocarbons burn really well.
If somehow the fullbringer could remove a proton from Nitrogen, he'd be left with Carbon, Hydrogen, and a lot of atomic energy to have to disperse. Hmm... Reiatsu was going to have to take a huge part in this. The energy would be largely responsible in causing the actual split. But what was going to contain the massive outpouring of atomic energy that was going to switch the majority of the air in the gauntlet into carbon and hydrogen... What did Kazura know of that did really well at absorbing or just cancelling reiatsu/energy...
Eureka!
Sekki Sekki, the stuff he was commissioned to make into bullets, were great at cancelling reiatsu. If the gauntlets were lined with a packed layer of the stuff, he could avoid blowing his arm off every time he tried switching from air to flammable gas. The stuff was expensive though, but worth it. If this was the price to pay for becoming much more battle capable, then Kazura was going to do it. He requested multiple bags of Sekki Sekki drug, as well as one of his latest Air Cannon/Gauntlet pairs.
The new Guantlet was lined with Sekki Sekki on the inside. It had a bit more defense, as it could bear the brunt of some reiatsu attacks, however, the real help was going to be in the modified Air Cannon that went inside it. Not only would he make the cannon be able to draw in air from the wrist instead of the palm (slowing down air intake, but at a powerful trade off), he'd make it able to separate between the raw air and the transformed air. If he was going to turn nitrogen into hydrogen and carbon, he might as well also use it to make pressurized soda water as well as flammable gas.
Putting the gauntlet in side a sekki sekki lined box (soooo expensive...) to eliminate any possible town wide destruction for trying this, Kazura willed some of his reiatsu into the gauntlet from afar using Energy Generate and wires. Getting enough of the stuff inside, the Fullbringer watched as his Science took place, converting the stored air into highly flammable methane. With a sparker in the palm, he willed the gas to emit, sending a nice jet of flame out of the hand. It was a great success!
Unfortunately, this kind of science, even done in Sekki Sekki, let off a ton of spiritual presence. It was as if there was a massive beacon saying "SOMETHING BIG IS HAPPENING HERE!" The general populace wouldn't notice it at all, well, they wouldn't attribute their symptoms to Kazura. The air felt a bit heavy and people started to cough uncontrollably for a few seconds before getting better. The effect faded after a moment, and people went on their way thinking nothing of it. However, for those spiritually aware, it was much more pronounced. Anyone with Energy Sensory and a sense of curiosity could be knocking on Kazura's front door to see what was going on.
