shred.you▸ SYNTHCORE 9000▸ RARITY · UNCOMMON▸ DEPRECATION IN 2 YEARS, 4 MONTHSAI's Special Power
automates complex multi-step purification sequences
You design chemical synthesis routes and purify compounds using glassware and complex chromatography equipment.
The one thing AI can't do
You can troubleshoot why the reaction failed when the sensor logs are completely contradictory.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Day 10
AI predicts ideal reaction pathways using massive molecular database models.
Month 4
Robotic arms handle inventory and dispense precursors with perfect precision.
Month 10
Integrated sensors adjust temperatures and pressures faster than a chemist.
Month 16
Automated liquid chromatography columns isolate pure compounds without human supervision.
Year 2.3 · D-Day
The lab is fully autonomous and no longer requires human oversight.
