The Crystals - Explanation

The red crystals, also known as frotmerium, are crystals with anomalous properties. They are not made up of the subatomic particles that makes up the matter in our universe, resulting in these crystals to be massless. It is concluded that frotmerium is not supposed to be in our universe, because it is information that is from a previous universe that did not get destroyed, meaning it is able to break the laws of physics in this current universe. Frotmerium can be everywhere, in planets, in asteroids, and even in some humans and living beings. This may make you question. What exactly are the anomalous properties of these crystals? Why is it everywhere, but we can't interact with it? How and why do ships carry and use frotmerium as a form of protection? Is it used for anything else?

Frotmerium has two states, the first state being its anomalous state and its second state being with we call, the "Red State." When the frotmerium is in its anomalous state, it is not visible to the human eye, nor can it be interacted with in any way in our universe using matter. The only known method of interacting with frotmerium, is to use anti-photons (photons with a negative spin). When anti-photons interacts with an object that contains frotmerium, the frotmerium will be ripped out of its anomalous state and will enter its Red State. The Red State is frotmerium that is visible and can be interacted with using matter. Despite being massless, it appears to still have a functioning attraction to other bodies of mass. This results in frotmerium having an inconsistent measure of density when affected by other bodies of mass, but only on microscopic scales. Through multiple tests and measurements, it is estimated that the density of these red crystals is approximately 0.72g/cm3.

Every ship uses frotmerium, especially in combat. As mentioned earlier, when frotmerium is in its anomalous state, it is unable to interact with matter in our universe, therefore, it can be physically inside an object. How are these crystals exactly used? It is a simple yet complicated process. The ships have cannons that shoot anti-photon lasers, which are 99.99% effective on shields, and they are also used for extracting frotmerium out of asteroids during any case of war or battle. When the frotmerium is ripped out of its anomalous state, a driver installed on the ship is able to collect it and transform it back to its anomalous state. The drivers, or Frotmerium State Converters (FSCs), creates a magnetic field that is generated from energized frotmerium. This magnetic field can then pull in Red State frotmerium from a short distance and proceed to convert it into its anomalous state. Frotmerium State Converters can be programmed to shape the anomalous state frotmerium into any shape that the programmer desires. This is used as a secondary form of protection when your shields are down. When an anti-photon laser hits the frotmerium, it is ripped out of your ship and converted back into its Red State, which can be recollected.

With its usage in ships for war, frotmerium is also a high demand at all times, but its usage is not only limited to that. Being able to contain frotmerium is not easy, but these crystals are able to be used as a source of energy. Frotmerium can not be contained in its Red State, because it will suddenly disappear in a matter of a few seconds, releasing high amounts of thermal energy. This phenomena has not yet to be explained and is still up for debate, but it still follows the law of energy conservation. The only known way to contain these crystals is to keep it inside of a Frotmerium State Converter, but that itself raises some problems. Frotmerium State Converters can only be so large and hold so much, before they become unstable or require some type of special containment. Frotmerium that is mined is typically stored in drivers that graded around 700kg to 1000kg, meaning that these drivers can hold that much converted Red State frotmerium. These drivers are then transported to power plants where the frotmerium is ripped out of its anomalous state and disappears. The energy is harnessed through a chamber layered with graphene coils, since most of the energy released is in the form of thermal energy.
