[edit] Technology

The Arackrabees make heavy investments in the Chemistry and Physics areas, associates to Biology, for the attainment of new processes of food conservation and for the attainment of special metallic alloys, better adapted for each situation.

They use the wood for some instruments (such as spears) and for smaller vehicles. The silk and the wax destined to the production of alloys are produced by some groups of laborers and chemically treated for be more resistant to the heat, the high pressures and the conditions that can destroy its structure. All the alloys can be dyed with natural inks based in extracts of fruits and flowers, that adhere to the chemical structure of some components of the wax and silk, creating very pretty effect of decoration.

The vehicles of exploration of the planet are made basically of wood and of lighter alloys, a time that the used materials are adapted to the environment of Ebarkhara. For the vehicles of extraterrestrial exploration more resistant alloys are developed to support the inexistent ambient conditions in the planet (ocean, volcanos).

[edit] Natural Resources

The raw natural resources are used basically for simpler constructions. In this branch the technologies arackrabees mainly destine for the activities of conservation and greater productivity of its to cultivate and for the water captation.

• Crops: the fruits and seeds are collected for the laborers during the summer and stored in the lowest parts of Ertnay, where they will be planted (or conserved) so that they can supply foods during the long winter. Also are collected seeds of the plants used for the pollen attainment. These also are planted in the interior of Ertnay and kept under a warm atmosphere during the winter. Part of the heat comes of the workshop through constructed external tubings with sikx and part comes of forges.
• Water: the water is removed directly of the tree through "taps" that are opened only at the necessary moments, to prevent wastefulness. These "taps" are opened and supply a sap with many nutrients, beyond the water. But only some "veins" of the tree are used to prevent that the vascular system is compromised and led to the death of Ertnay. Part of the water also is gotten of the ice removal of the mountains, that is melted and used for the cooling of machines.
• Fruits: the ships and vehicles are supplied with materials based in vegetal oil, that is burnt and supplies energy its functioning. For the vehicles of extraterrestrial exploration they are used catalytic additives that allow the combustion in the oxygen absence, besides stimulating the ships with more force.
• Rocks: used mainly in external constructions. Small houses of rock are constructed next to the caves to monitor the activity of its inhabitants during the night. Being made of rock they are hardly recognized for the inhabitants of the caves.
• Wood: it's used for almost all the land constructions, together with other materials.
• Leaves: used mainly to line constructions and some vehicles. Also they are used as parts of decoration, together with some fruits.
• Earth: used to construct underground shelters and to extend Ertnay for under the ground. This earth is mixed water, wood and some leaves to guarantee the sustentation of the tunnels.

[edit] Purified Materials

Resources flower. In the central flower are the raw natural resources: fruits, earth, ice, rocks, leaves and wood. In the intermediate are the purified materials: gold, wax, silver, iron, aluminum and silk. In the most external flower are the special alloys: sikx, aurix, arpax, fourx, selvarg and cegolk.

From the natural resources and of the work of some groups of arackrabees are purified and improved ores found in the rocks and the materials produced for them. These are the metals, many of them precious, beyond waxes and the silk produced and chemically treated.

• Iron: used in the resistant and hardest alloys to the hostile ambient conditions.
• Aluminum: used in light and flexible alloys, that allow the wire attainment.
• Gold: noble metal used in small amounts. Many times are applied to form a very fine layer over other materials, such as the wood.
• Silver: also used in small amounts, generally it follows other materials. It can be used to form small ornaments in vehicles. This metal it's used in the processes of crystal attainment from the fruits, due to formation of silver salts in the interior of the fruits.
• Silk: weaved for some laborers the silk it's chemically treated with vegetal extracts and some silver salts. This makes the wires become still more resistant and allow the creation of resistant, very flexible and with memory materials, being able to become deformed and to return to the original form.
• Wax: this material is chemically treated to form a mass can easily be molded in any form, being very hard when it dries.

[edit] Alloys

For these alloys they use basically the purified materials. With these materials they create special alloys, with proper and destined characteristics for diverse purposes.

The six main ones are:

• Sikx (silk + wax): fine and very transparent. This material is used to make a glass like material, used in the confection of windows of diverse thicknesses, of the queen crown and the sphere of priest sceptre.
• Arpax (wax + silver) & Aurix (wax + gold): material of easy molding and that it becomes very hard when cools. It's used for the confection of scales used in armors and some vehicles.
• Cegolk (silk + wax + gold): malleable material used for decoration and protection of some structures.
• Selvarg (silk + silver + aluminum): it's a material very fine and resistant. It's very used in the form of trams, forming a mesh light and fine, destined mainly for the production of wing of vehicles and for the confection of priest sceptre.
• Fourx (iron + gold + wax): this alloy creates very smooth and strong structures, being used mainly for the construction of the majority of the vehicles, as the material in bigger amount. With fourx also are made the tip of soldiers spears.
