Starcross Part 6

We’re Back to the present day! This chapter is early because I’ll be going to do nerd shit in the woods for the weekend

Content: vomiting/emeto, food mentions, fear of punishent, conditioned whumpee, comfort

Free Space, AFS Starcross, 5/5/4763 Ziar sat in the shower, letting the sonic waves wash over her. The vibrations were soothing, though not like warm water would’ve been. She was saving her water ration for Kim, since they’d need a bath and she doubted they’d be able to shower on their own. Stasis was exhausting, and their ankle couldn't be comfortable to stand on.

Sighing, she reached out her hand to turn off the shower. As much as she wanted to stay, there was stuff to do. The prospect of a highly caffeinated beverage was starting to sound more appealing. She wrapped a towel around her waist then stepped out of the shower, using the railings to support herself until she could reach her crutches.

The showers and the berths had the advantage of being close, just a couple meters across the hallway, and Ziar gratefully collapsed back into the mattress. It was tempting to let her eyes close and drift off, but she forced herself to stay awake.

After a couple minutes of blissful laying down, she heaved herself back up. She needed to redress the bite wound and replace the dermafibran around her connector. Osteomyelitis was not all it was cracked up to be. When they landed, she’d needed to go out and buy more. Just another thing for the list.

Reaching under the bed, she pulled out the small box of wound care supplies she kept underneath for when she was too tired or sore to get to the infirmary. She pulled the latch open and pulled out what she’d need, grabbing the DF pack and some dressings.

Carefully, she peeled off the bandage on her upper arm. The double-crescent shaped wound was looking better than it had last night, with the bleeding stopped and wiped away. It only produced a dull throb now, and was clear of any pus or redness. And really, what more could she ask for?

She pressed another bandage over it, feeling the cold tissue growth solution it was impregnated with fill the wound. After crumpling up the trash and tossing it into the bin, she reached for the drape so she could take care of the stump. Before she could get it unfolded, her communicator buzzed with Oka’s ringtone.

This was gonna be good.

“What’cha need?”

*** The weapon had tried to eat the food. It really had.

Oka had been so nice, letting it eat real food, people food, instead of bland slurries and nutritive bricks with the texture of concrete.

Previously, it had only ever been fed people food as a treat. A scrap off the table for breaking a course record. This was so much more than that.

The meat was smokey and salty, and the fruit was sweet but also a little bit tart. This was already a lot, but the bread was fluffy and soft. Despite it being relatively small in quantity, it sat heavy in their stomach, like a bowling ball.

Just as it had opened its mouth to thank them, its stomach rolled and squeezed. Its eyes went wide as every piece of food it had just eaten came back up.

No, no, no!

Vomit splattered all over the blanket that they’d given it, chunks of meat and half-digested fruit still visible. Its throat was on fire, acid burning at the back of its mouth, as it stared in horror at the mess it had made.

In its peripheral vision, it could see Oka moving around it, and braced itself for the blow. They had provided with food, real food, good food, and it had made a mess. It had been trained to have more self control than that, to be better. It could already feel the acid burns on its hands from having to scrub the floor until it could see its face in it.

Would it even be able to stand on its ankle?

A green bag with a plastic rim appeared in front of it. “Here, use this.” They didn’t sound angry or annoyed. They must’ve been the type who enjoyed meeting it out, then. Just great.

The blanket was pulled away from their legs, and even though Ziar had given it some sort of loose fitting tunic to cover it up, it still felt entirely exposed. Goosebumps raised on its skin.“I’ll get you something clean.”

It swallowed, gripping the bag tightly as Oka dug through a cabinet. When its stomach turned again, the vomit thankfully landed in the bag. The contents were mostly bile; there wasn’t much left in its stomach for it to throw up.

Another blanket was tossed over its legs, shielding them from the cool air. “Do you want some water?”

Their words washed over it as it tried to get its mouth to work. “Yes. Thank you, sir.”

The sound of the sink felt a thousand times louder than it probably was as they filled up a small cup. Oka carefully nestled the cup in between its shaking hands. It was half full, probably in an effort to conserve water. “Take small sips, alright. I don’t want to upset your stomach more.”

It obeyed, taking small sips while they watched it. Maybe they were waiting for a functionality report? Then it hit them. It needed to clean up its mess. They wanted to see if it would be responsible and solve its own problems. They didn’t want an automaton with no thoughts. It needed to make itself useful.

The blanket was resting in a bright orange bag on the sink. It finished the last of the water so that it wouldn’t spill, then pulled the blanket away from it. While the sink wasn’t exactly close, it could make it, bad ankle notwithstanding. It pushed its legs over the edge of the bed.

It needed to be useful.

“Kim-” Oka said, stepping forward, but it was too late.

It pushed off the bed, letting its uninjured foot hit the oor st. Assuming success, it took another step.

The moment its second foot contacted the oor it crumbled, letting out a yelp as it came crashing down. Pain pulsed up its leg, and it couldn't help the tears that well up in its eyes. It knew that it wouldn’t be able to get back up.

All it did was make things worse.

Oka squatted down next to it. “It’s okay,” they said, reaching out a hand and placing it on its shoulder.

It shuddered, and they pulled their hand away. “It was-Unit KM-4682 was going to clean its…its…” it choked out, body racked by sobs.

“You don’t need to do that, aza.” It wasn’t familiar with that word. It probably meant “stupid,” if it had to guess.

All it could do was cry harder. It was falling apart, on the floor, like a fucking baby. It was weak and useless and it was a small wonder that it had been kept alive as long as it had. Maybe they were right to kill it, to remove its useless body from the universe.

“You’re okay. I’m not going to hurt you.” A blanket settled over its shoulders.

It pulled the edges closer, wrapping itself tighter. Oka smiled at it gently. “It’s alright, aza. I’m going to call Ziar so we can get you back up on the table, alright. You just stay still.”

It nodded. An order. Something it could do without trying to guess if it was right. Something easy.

“You’re safe now. We’re not going to hurt you,” they repeated.

It wasn't quite sure what that was supposed to mean. The weapon had always been safe, from everything but its own failures. And maybe things could be painful, maybe punishments and corrections weren’t fun, but it had never been hurt.

Still, Oka seemed to think that what was happening to it now was better. It bowed its head in respect. “Thank you, sir.”

What is AAC Block Manufacturing Process?

In recent years, Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) blocks have revolutionized the construction industry. These lightweight, precast foam concrete blocks offer excellent thermal insulation, soundproofing, and fire-resistant properties, making them a preferred choice for modern construction. At Essarcon, we take pride in manufacturing high-quality AAC block Machines that adhere to the highest standards. Here’s an in-depth look at our AAC block manufacturing process.

1. Raw Material Preparation

The foundation of any great product lies in the quality of its raw materials. For AAC blocks, the essential ingredients are:

Cement: Acts as a binder and gives the blocks their structural integrity.

Lime: Works as a major constituent that reacts with the aluminum powder to create the desired aeration.

Sand or Fly Ash: Provides the siliceous component, contributing to the strength of the blocks.

Gypsum: Enhances the properties of the mixture and helps in the setting process.

Aluminum Powder: This is the key to creating the aeration process, forming tiny bubbles within the mix.

All raw materials are thoroughly inspected for quality before they enter the manufacturing process.

2. Mixing and Dosing

The carefully measured raw materials are then fed into a large mixer. Water is added to the dry mix to create a slurry. This slurry is mixed at a high speed to ensure a uniform consistency. The aluminum powder is added at this stage, triggering a chemical reaction that releases hydrogen gas. This gas forms tiny bubbles within the slurry, giving the AAC blocks their characteristic lightweight and porous structure.

3. Pouring and Rising

Once the mixing is complete, the slurry is poured into large molds. The molds are designed to accommodate the expansion of the slurry as it rises. Over the next few hours, the hydrogen gas continues to be released, causing the slurry to expand to about twice its original volume. This rising process forms millions of tiny air pockets within the material, which are crucial for the AAC block’s insulation properties.

4. Pre-Curing

After the slurry has risen and solidified, the resulting mass, known as a “green cake,” is ready for pre-curing. The molds are transferred to a pre-curing chamber where they are allowed to set for a few hours. During this stage, the green cake gains enough strength to be cut into blocks without losing its shape.

5. Cutting

Once the pre-curing process is complete, the green cake is demolded and transferred to a cutting machine. This machine precisely cuts the cake into blocks of the desired dimensions. The blocks can be customized to different sizes depending on the construction requirements. Essarcon’s cutting-edge technology ensures minimal waste and maximum precision during this stage.

6. Autoclaving

The most critical phase in the AAC block manufacturing process is autoclaving. The freshly cut blocks are placed in an autoclave, a large pressure chamber, where they are subjected to high temperature and pressure. The blocks are steamed at approximately 180°C (356°F) under a pressure of around 12 bars. This autoclaving process takes about 10 to 12 hours.

During autoclaving, the lime reacts with the silica in the sand or fly ash to form calcium silicate hydrates. This reaction gives the AAC blocks their strength and durability. The process also locks in the tiny air bubbles within the blocks, ensuring their lightweight and insulating properties.

7. Quality Control and Packaging

Once the autoclaving process is complete, the blocks are left to cool. They undergo a rigorous quality control process to ensure they meet the required standards for strength, density, and dimensions. Any blocks that do not meet these standards are recycled back into the production process.

Finally, the blocks are packaged and prepared for shipment to construction sites. At Essarcon, we ensure that our AAC blocks are carefully handled to prevent damage during transportation, guaranteeing that they arrive at your site in perfect condition.

8. Environmental Benefits

In addition to their construction benefits, AAC blocks are also environmentally friendly. The manufacturing process uses fly ash, a byproduct of thermal power plants, which helps in reducing industrial waste. The lightweight nature of AAC blocks reduces the overall structural load, leading to savings in steel and concrete usage. Moreover, the superior insulation properties of AAC blocks contribute to energy savings in buildings.

Conclusion

AAC blocks manufacturing process is simple and easy. Whether one is building a residential, commercial, or industrial project, AAC blocks offer the strength, durability, and energy efficiency needed to create long-lasting structures.
