Also, Sagara was called a monkey before Nobuna bestow him that name.

rawr... i know but im waiting for the chapters to finish b4 i start reading.
Otherwise i'll think Sagara, was a cross dressing blade dancer, lost in a game MMO world, contracted to be a devil, with a dragon pet, who somehow usurped a god's authority, and has a nickname silver Taurus.

^ if u understand the pun... u can tell which series i am reading.

Don't mention that website. Considering the group our only translator is in, he would be even less happy.

Reaper. May we never have to meet each other, because even though a I can deal with one yandere, I'm not 1337 enough to deal with a couple of yan-s. :heh:

We don't pounce on people, as long as they know where the "boundaries" are then no trouble. Athena if we do meet, I think I will treat you to a rib eye steak dinner, I am confident in my cooking.

Oh and we getting a tad off topic, though it is fun to learn about people:). We should start a new discussion, but no ideas are hitting me right now.

So my bright idea is - what if Sagara had even a bit of technical knowledge..

He could bring the invention of "flintlocks" to Japan vs. Matchlocks! Imagine! Unaffected by rain! Discuss!

Drop the katana and use the box cutter. xD

Monkey does not have the technological knowledge or brain for that. Impossible, I would say.

Even if he had such knowledge, the flintlock is a terrible idea. Better to use the percussion lock.

Lulz, boxcutter + chainsaw.. reminds me so much of one of my first introductions to Yandere's.. Shuffle!

Well, I'm just using flintlocks as an example because the concept was so simple. My other thought was what about the paper bullets concept that people also used? Or even speak to some blacksmiths/gunsmiths and mention the concept of a "revolver" !

blitz1/2 2012-08-06 22:46

can somebody remind me of what year(s) is this era?

I wonder how many Japanese high school student would know the method of making paper cartridges, like needing three separate layers of different types of paper.

I'll state this simply: There will be no revolutionary changes to guns at this stage, for the technological infrastructure does not exist.

Most people would screw up.. I know I would and I'm not a high school student.. but "inventing" something when the end product is already known to be possible should be a tad different no?

I think someone else mentioned in the thread about the possible ramifications if he simply mentioned things such as trench warfare tactics..

Please explain how what is known means one can easily replicate it.

Trench warfare evolved because of the machine gun. In Sengoku Japan, using trench warfare is going to be suicidal because of the more humid climate and the heavier rainfall. Furthermore, in an era of swords and spears, what purpose do trenches serve?

i up your box cutter, and turn it into a steam locomotive tank, and just kick start the industrial era 300 years early.

Also repeat the battle of Poland vs Germany which was... panzer tanks vs horse cavalry.. we can guess who won that.

Ha, well this is meant to be a discussion topic, but I'm happy to simply agree to disagree if you don't buy the premise.

My point is simply knowing about the IDEA of a revolver or a paper bullet means you can work with expert craftsmen to figure out how it could be done. I'm pretty sure now that people have acknowledged he's from the future, they'd be willing to put in the time and effort to make the attempts at least?

I also never said it would be easy, but as I said, you're not "inventing" it so much as taking a concept you know 100% will eventually work, and back solving the steps.

I mostly agree with this comment.. and I caveat that, I work in finance and am not a history major, but from what I recall - trench warfare did not develop solely due to the machine gun.. but in general the concept that "firepower >= mobility"

As Nobunaga proved against Katsuyori, a "similar" strategy can be successful even with ranked matchlock fire as long as you have quantity. I would never suggest someone build a network of trenches that would likely to be flooded, but the development of barbed wire and a "no man's land" type of stationary defensive warfare.. I feel like it could work!

Ultimately, the author didn't go this route, and based on your disbelief, it seems like people wouldn't "buy" it -- but I at least thought the idea would be neat!

Sumeragi 2012-08-06 23:23

1. Again, Japan does not have the technological background nor the resources to be innovating. Paper production was somewhat limited, iron was of low quality, gun powder had not developed to the point needed. What people in general are ignoring is that what works needs the backing of technology behind it, and without such technological infrastructure, what can work would not work. This is a basic thing any person knowledgeable in technological development would understand.

2. Barbed wire is only possible with the technology needed to make long steel wires, which again isn't possible at this era, especially Japan.

aigomorla 2012-08-06 23:35

he's in highschool.

Assume he even has 2/3rds of the knowledge, im pretty sure he has a general understanding of physics.

A Steam Engine is not complicated.
You use Steam to force push valves, to turn a wheel and create torque.

Imagine the chaos he would bring about if he kicked started the industrial revolution in the 16th century, and not the 19th century like it normally began.
And wait doesnt he have an iphone? cant he ask siri? :P

Sumeragi 2012-08-06 23:44

And where would he get the fuel? Wood is too low power, coal mining cannot follow up the demand. Furthermore, the necessary steel pressure containers cannot be produced with the level of steel-making skills of this era.

Really, I'm aghast at how people are taking things for granted here.

japanese knew how to forge steel.

The hardest part would be flattening and shaping the steel, however with monster strength girls thats not a true issue.

To forge iron into steel, coal is required.
Steel is basically iron smelted with carbon.

So everything is there, the MC needs to just realize its not his future he would change and start innovating.

Also he changed history on construction alone in the creation of that castle.
I bet no one thought about creating a castle that way until the MC told them to.
Infact it took almost 250 years with Kaizer building ships (WW2) to conceive the model he went though to build the castle in 1 night.
Modular parts, and modular assembly was something completely unheard of.
