![](http://i.imgur.com/ZH4eT4n.png) I found this in a lab. I could not smash it open. I couldn’t jackhammer (or jaqueshammer) it open Grenades turned it into rubble C4 turned it into piles of electronic scrap. What is this and what can I get out of them? I heard that they may contain… DIAMOUNDS!!! ---

I found this to. Very weird. It deserves a note in the wiki, but nobody knows what exactly it is, or what it does. ---

There should be a book in that lab, learn recipes from it and you can make diamond katanas and knives using that machine. ---

Sorry for the double post, but i found some IRL info. CVD stands for Chemical Vapor Deposition, a chemical process that produces high-quality, high-performance sold materials. - Wikipedia They are able to produce synthetic diamonds, which explains the rumor. More importantly however, CVD may be able to produce the foremost technologically advanced materials in the entire post-cataclysm world. For example, CVD can produce carbon nano fibers/nanotubes, tungsten, polysilicates, and (in the cataclysm world) superalloys. ---

Hopefully yours isn’t in an Ice Lab as the process takes quite a while. ---
