Sakuradite

Sakuradite is a rare mineral found on the planet Diqiu and its moon, though it may be found on other planets and space bodies as well. In ancient times, Sakuradite was discovered in a meteorite that impacted what would become the Britannian Isles. Sakuradite had a profound effect on human life on Diqiu, increasing the rate of scientific advancement drastically. Its discovery was such a significant event that the year Sakuradite is thought to have been first discovered was adopted as year 0 in the Global Standard Year System.
==History==
==Properties==
Sakuradite can only be described as an extremely potent source of natural electricity and a superconducting material. The true composition of sakuradite is an unknown compound, although symthetic sakuradite of low quality have been created. Its use was first documented by the ancient Mesirites, in the form of a blood-red crystalline substance that provided lighting and power for machines used to build the Great Pyramids. The ancient Aegeans later warred with the Mesirites and also obtained this substance.
In the middle Ages, Sakuradite was rediscovered in what would become the Britannian Isles. 
Three kinds of Sakuradite exist. Red Sakuradite, or unrefined Sakuradite, is impure and can only act as a natural light source. Pink Sakuradite, or refined Sakuradite, has been purified through artificial methods and can provide lighting and even an electrical charge with the proper equipment. In this state it is extremely unstable and very volatile. Pink Sakuradite can be found in liquid and solid forms. A third kind of Sakuradite, Green Sakuradite, is even more powerful and is too unstable to be used for civilian applications.
Sakuradite in its rawest form is one of the most dangerous materials in the world. A small piece or ore, when tapped together with another piece, can generate massive a explosion similar to that of several tones of TNT.
==Uses==
Sakuradite has natural electrical and superconductive properties, and is also radioactive. It is valuable as it is needed for the production of Float Units and for civil applications such as civilian power plants. As a high temperature super conductor, it is used in high-end weapons and aerial battleships to conserve energy for high energy demand systems such as wave cannons and float units. As a radioactive material, it is used as a power source and to fuel nuclear bombs. It is one of the main sources of clean energy in the world.
