Eiyuu Onna Kishi ni Yuunou to Bareta Ore no Bijin Harem Kishidan - Gaikaku Hikume no Kijutsu Kishidan - Vol. 1 Ch. 5 - The First Showdown

Eh, it's probably some type of magically enhanced gas that they just call "light gas" or something that is even lighter than helium that only happens in a fantasy world. That and it looked like all the beastkin were smaller cat-types, so probably the most agile of the bunch.

Also, I mean besides hiding the fact that he's the one actually "completing" these bounties and letting the noble take credit, the only law he is breaking (albeit a capital crime) is using the elves as magic batteries isn't it?

Outfitting, equipping, and training his mini-army of demi-humans isn't actually against the law, though most nobles would probably see it as a threat to squash.

You shouldn't have done the math for this one. The gas might be still a magic based one for the world to not only able reduce the weight of the beast women but also their gear. There's also no resistance in the environment (that small branch didn't break when they stepped on it). Depending on the species and age, wood can take a lot of stresses before breaking and those small branches wouldn't have enough due to small amount of material it has to work with. They might be as light as feather to not affect their environment. There's more to discuss here like air resistance for example, the amount of gas inside the container or assuming that we are following the same outside temperature and pressure and such.

TLDR: there's too many variables to account for even if we only go for the buoyancy equation. You shouldn't done the math for this one. Magic can easily solve it.

I agree that there’s far too many variables, that’s why I made so many assumptions about the numbers I used. Plus, it was just for fun as a hypothetical.

Though, yeah. Magic would literally destroy every single thing I wrote both before and following this lmao.

I’m still gonna respond to the points you made though.

Yes, maybe there is magic involved (and if it is then it makes all math irrelevant), but it was never mentioned to be involved in the overview we got of the equipment in the chapter. As such, I decided to do math because there was no mention of magic to see how much it actually reduced their weight.

If the beastmen did have a trait that made them super light to the point where the didn’t break thin branches then the gas seems rather impractical because they would have to be naturally buoyant already, which would make the equipment redundant. Additionally, if they were as light as a feather, that would bring in a whole bunch of other problems. Air resistance would become a huge hindrance to their movement if that were the case.

In regards to the gas, all we had was “extremely light gas” which means it’s not weightless and not somehow causing an upward force to be applied outside of what’s caused by buoyancy.

The reason I didn’t include things like air resistance or amount of gas or the gas’ actual mass is because it is all negligible, and it would actually make it less likely for the equipment to work.

The potions he uses to keep them all healthy (that the elves make I guess) also are illegal goods according to the noble - or at least, if found out, the noble might turn on the protag because it's a good profit avenue.

Alright, I wanted to do some physics calculations for fun just to see the disparity. Fair warning, there will be quite a few assumptions due to lack of information. For simplicities sake, I’m going to assume most values are that of earth’s.

We can say right if the bat that the gas can’t be hydrogen because it’s far too reactive (especially considering the beastwomen are doing explosive operations), so it’s probably helium or something.

Let’s start with the gravitational force applied to the beastwomen.

Obviously we don’t know exact biological differences, but we do know that the mass of the beastwomen are probably above average compared to that of a human due to their physical robustness. So, we’ll say their mass is 80kg

I’ll be generous and leave out the weight of the clothes and supplies and whatnot.

Force = mass * gravity

Force = 80*9.8 =784 Newtons

Now that we have the downward force, we need to find the buoyant force from the helium bag.

The formula for buoyant force is:
F_b = fluid density * volume displaced * gravity

According to nasa, the density of air is 1.293 kg per meter cubed.

We’ll be insanely generous and say that the bag holds around 1000 liters, which is 1 meter cubed. (For scale, that’s like 8 of those stereotypical moving boxes you might see in movies or whatever)

So, the buoyant force is:

F_b = 1.293 * 1 * 9.8 = 12.67 Newtons

So, the bag makes them roughly 1.6% lighter WITHOUT accounting for any equipment.

It’s been a while since I’ve done physics stuff, so if you spot any errors please correct me.

or it could be fantasy gas, it can do whatever you need

The bandits never stood a chance. I like how the MC can sympathize with the bandits situation.

Thanks for the upload.

 

[Nivek]

I wonder if this was suppose to be an isekai and MC from modern earth? his equipment fits the idea

 

[R2D2TS]

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[Kur-o_O-kami]

or it could be fantasy gas, it can do whatever you need

Might be a gas of magical particles that have a specific charge that is geometrically opposes gravity, and hence reduces g component in all newtonian mechanics calculations. Generally thin in the air and almost never lingers in the lower atmosphere, dispersed as fumes or waste energy after casting spells because mana conversion coefficient while casting spells to alter physical pheromone is low.

What is wrong with you, people? Use your imagination!

 

[duckstm]

humans are the most oppressed race fr fr

 

[Lightbrand]

Forcing them makes it feel even better right?

 

[Valhalla_101]

10 stars. I love this series

 

[sotokouya]

i know it's equally as bad but these humans who hate other race for the differential treatment yet attack human settlements just means that they're scum out of scum

also i'm not sure how strong cranium is but with rock that big getting stoned on the top of your head would be instant concussion or smth

 

[sanctuary]

that worrywart is going to fall for him, hard

 

[MFAW]

nexxtt please

While I wouldn't be able to catch it, it'll only would cause a bruise, at worst.
(Ya have to pull the pin to be effective)

There are lots. I grant you your m³, even if unlikely. Unlikely because it's 1m in all directions. (Roughly a stride of an adult). It doesn't look that big.

1. They are smoll, so likely less than 80kg.
2. It is more likely hydrogen. More buoyancy, easier to come by.
3. Everybody is ignoring the center of mass and lift.

The back is pulled up, while the front is pulled down (due to equipment).​

The girls would all float face down if that thing would have had any effect.​

Well. Mostly. The lower half of the girl would somewhat upright them. So insted of 0° (horizontal) or 90° (upright), they likely would be around awkward 30°.​

​

That is if it had any effect. The bag doesn't look light, and all the equipment need to be offset.​

​

In anyway, the bag would be more a hindrance than helping.​

 

[RiffRaffROTFL]

Everyone seems so focused on the gas but the fact is none of that matters. This plot gimmick was supposed to have made the beastkin's movements impossible to follow but it can't be accomplished this way because floating doesn't make you quicker -- especially if you have to carry huge packs that increase wind resistance. They've turned themselves into balloons.
