One of the things that did not stop working throughout the various disasters was the Research Center.
It helped, of course, that the people hired had a true passion for whatever project they had been doing so even during the heat wave, they would be working (though usually during the night shift).
After the disaster was over, they even started doing overtime to make up for the low productivity they had due to the weather!
This was why during the next few weeks after Althea got back to her trip, the Research Team would churn out finding after finding, product after product!
One of the most impactful changes was the perfection of glass.
Before, they only reached the annealing process (based mostly on the data gathered in Althea's tablet, though with various adjustments due to the current materials). This process allowed glass to be slightly stronger, but it was still not to the quality of modern glass.
