Rather than confirming or denying her deduction, David guided her toward a workstation positioned among the trees. "The cultivation process requires precise calibration of multiple interacting fields. The primary temporal field creates the differential flow, while secondary stabilization matrices prevent deterioration of cellular structures."
"Hey, don't change the subject!" Yue protested, though her eyes were already drawn to the equipment arranged before her. Scientific curiosity warred briefly with personal inquisitiveness before the former predictably won. "Oh fine, keep your secrets. But you'll have to explain the mathematical framework eventually."
The workstation contained an array of instruments unlike anything found in conventional alchemical laboratories. Crystal tuning forks of varying sizes stood mounted on resonance plates, while delicate silver filaments connected to a central device that hummed with barely restrained power.
