The Red Two's recent discloses related to hyper materials generated a lot of discussion and speculation.
The broad community of red humanity still looked up to the Red Association and the Red Fleet, so they accepted the explanation easily enough.
What most people working in the academic and industrial sectors wanted to know was how they could make use of these new hypers to their advantage.
The greater scientific community had been remarkably unrestrained when it came to sharing data and results produced by fundamental research. This enabled much of red humanity to quickly get a basic grip on the mutating materials phenomenon.
However, their generosity quickly came to an end as soon as research delved into the possible applications of any discovered hyper materials!
None of the states, companies or research institutions were stupid. They all recognized that research on how to take advantage of the properties of hypers was the next big trend!
