The Hydrocon can be shot, and if shot will explode, causing widespread fire throughout the area, killing everything, including the player almost instantly. A single stray bullet into the glass casing is enough to cause the Hydrocon to explode violently. |

Hydrocon System
The Hydrocon is a device which features new technology for transforming iron oxide (Fe2O3) into oxygen (O2) and hydrogen (H2); the oxygen is mainly used for turning Mars and the UAC Labs into habitable environments, but is also used for the production of oxygen canisters. The hydrogen is stored by the MFS.
The Hydrocon can be found in Alpha Labs - Sector 1: Union Aerospace Science Division.
The Hydrocon can be shot, and if shot will explode, causing widespread fire throughout the area, killing everything, including the player almost instantly. A single stray bullet into the glass casing is enough to cause the Hydrocon to explode violently.
Note: Rusts, including those on Mars, are typically actually iron oxide hydrates, Fe2O3.xH2O. Therefore, it would in reality be much easier for the Hydrocon to extract water and hydrogen directly from the hydrates in the rust. In-game, though, the formula is given as Fe2O3, and it is implied that hydrogen is produced by advanced particle physics, like "the alchemists of old". Oxygen, meanwhile, could be easily extracted from the perchlorate that turns out to be common in Martian soil.
