Blve

In any case, it is a weapon that does not make the user feel like they are killing, so it is likely that attack inhibition will not prevent a Cantus user from using it. There is a chance even death feedback can be avoided as well.

Its formal name is "strong toxicity bacillus anthracis", abbreviated "STBA". Bacillus anthracis occurs naturally in soil from decaying grass. Once absorbed into the body, it can cause cutaneous, pulmonary, and gastrointestinal anthrax, all serious illnesses. Additionally, while normal pulmonary anthrax is rarely contagious between humans, STBA is highly contagious. As such, containing outbreaks through conventional epidemiological means is exceedingly difficult. In addition to having the destructive power to make it an ideal first-strike weapon. To facilitate post-war cleanup, the strain's toxicity was designed to fall in one or two years, so it can be used without reserve and does not harm the environment. However, although regular bacillus anthracis has a lifetime of about fifty years, STBA spores are believed to last for a millennium.[1]

Another one is a sericulture facility, where a lot of silkworms spin rainbow cocoons. Not only does the fabric made from these silkworms not need dyeing, they also do not fade or lose color when washed.

In the neighboring building are foreign species used for reference in selective breeding. Silkworms from Indonesia are known for their golden silk, Tasar silk worms from India make threads ten times thicker than usual, hundreds of silk worms from Uganda spin cocoons the size of rugby balls, and more. The best are the Hitachi silkworms kept in an isolated, airtight room. The two meter long, three headed worms are feasting on copious amounts of mulberry leaves and simultaneously spitting out silk from one of its three mouths. Due to their quick and active process, the inside of the observation window has to be cleaned off often to stop the silk from covering it completely. Since the insects are so big, they have trouble breathing, so oxygen is pumped into the enclosure. The concentration of oxygen is so high that if there was an open flame near, the whole building would blow up, which is why the worms are kept in an air locked room.

Next to the sericulture farm are fields with potatoes, yams, onions, radishes, strawberries and other plants. During winter, some of the fields are covered in snow-like bubbles. Potatoes and yams are susceptible to frost damage, so when the temperature drops too much, they use the bubbles produced by an insect called a seedbed froghopper to keep the plants warm. These bugs were originally a type of harmful pests known as froghoppers, but were mutated into a useful type with cantus. The same goes for so called crimson wasps, which are hybrids of the fierce giant hornet and the brown hornet and were altered to exclusively prey on harmful insects while leaving humans and livestock alone.[1]
