The 'Splosion Sprout Juicer
"City folk say that living on a farm is easy compared to working the rough mines; I disagree. Having to juice 'Splosion Sprouts is one of the most dangerous things I've done in my life. First you need to rip the plant out of the ground, this usually involves removing each root carefully. To avoid triggering an explosive chemical reaction, you have to extract the liquid slowly.Slowly deteriorating its stalk is a panic attack for each swipe. Shavings fall to the floor, leaving a mess. Once you see the liquid through the last piece of thin stalk, you cut a tiny hole in the stem and carefully pour the thin liquid in a cast iron bowl. Then you close the lid to the bowl and ship it to the city. This whole process is repeated over and over throughout the day. Personally, I don't think mining shiny ores compares to defusing dynamite on a daily basis. Maybe those miners are spoiled from being treated to the pleasures of a city life. When any hardship faces these people they just whine away, I bet they can't even get hurt while mining." - Saeculum
Mechanics & Inner Workings
The juicer consists of a metal blade with a stone handle and a tiny bowl at the hilt. The bowl is used to catch any liquid that might've fallen out of the plant or from the bowl. The blade can withstand very small explosions and sometimes has engravings for luck when shaving the stalk.
Significance
This tool provides farmers the opportunity to safely open 'Splosion Sprouts and sell the liquid to the government. This tool alone is the reason why the Provectors can work pistols and Vindexians have dynamite.
