Info Dump - Real Life Stuff

Before you continue reading to this section, just a heads up, there are lots of explanations of real scientific stuff and pieces of stuff in the series of the game itself.

     I made this section to give you some information about things I included in the story, so this is like a Wikipedia for this exact story, so if you don't want to read all the geeky or nerdy stuff, just skip and I'm sorry if you think this is just a filler, well, it's just a auxiliary chapter, so deal with it.

It's basically food for thought!

[Nitrogen]

Description:

[Calcium Carbonate]

Description:

Found in the third chapter, calcium carbonate is a chemical compound with the formula CaCO3.

     It is a common substance found in rocks as the minerals calcite and argonite (most notably as limestone, which is a type of sedimentary rock consisting mainly of calcite) and is the main component of eggshells, snail shells, seashells, and pearls.

    Calcium carbonate is the active ingredient in agricultural lime and is created when calcium ions in hard water react with carbonate ions to create limescale.

It has medical use as a calcium supplement or as an antacid, but excessive consumption can be hazardous and cause hypercalcemia and digestive issues.

[Quartz/Sand]

Description:

Found in the third chapter, Quartz is a hard, crystalline mineral composed of silica (silicon dioxide).

     The atoms are linked in a continuous framework of SiO4 silicon-oxygen tetrahedra, with each oxygen being shared between two tetrahedra, giving an overall chemical formula of SiO2.
