Within a large room—spanning 200 metres in length and breadth, with the ceiling situated 20 metres from the ground—faint fog broiled around, forming clusters that swirled around, and making tiny twisters.
A massive machine stood in its centre, having a height of 10 metres, possessing a solid cylindrical structure. Attached to it were numerous pipes, each pumping in certain gases and liquids, their concentration and flow regulated by valves, affixed at regular intervals.
Each pipe conjoined at places and separated into their individual sections at others, mixing the substances flowing through them, creating a mixture to be transported, filtered through their difference in density, solubility, miscibility, viscosity, and chemical composition.
