sooo... daywalk measuring system?

I mean...

The precision is a bit low.

no introduction to metric system?

Thanks for the scanlation

"So the distance is approximately 4 washing machines, 5 bananas and 3 peas."

Like in our world, they had to start with the 'imperial' measurements, like measurements based on practical activities.
They really cant' do anything about it.
But in the future, they will be able to pinpoint their planet's equator (also probably using the sun's and celestial bodies' patterns). If they can do this, they'll be able to get the circumference of their planet at the equator, and figure out a way they can divide it uniformly like in units of tens, which will be leading to the 'meter', which they can use as the planet's basic unit of distance, because after all, the circumference at the equator is technically a good measure of how far the sun 'travels' the within a day, i.e. how long a sun can show itself from sunrise to sunset within a region of the planet, which can also help in establishing a basic unit of measure for time as well (speed = distance / time).

Day walking doesn't use feet. It uses steps.

Anyway, the dimensions in this manga seem all messed up.

If we'll assume the comma in number to be dividing the thousands (American style), then the closest town from Hika is over 1 900 days away? That's ridiculous. Even more ridiculous is that if we'll assume that daily travel distance is 40km (8*5km), the worlds circumference would be...14 580 000km...That's almost 364 times the circumference of Earth, making for a gargantuan planet. And that likely means that the gravity is so high that each of them weights in some tons...

On the other hand, if we'll take the commas to divide the whole number from fractions, we have reasonable less than 2 days to the closest village from Hika, but only mere 9 720km of circumference for the world. That's about 1 200km less than the Moon. Obviously that would mean that gravity is even weaker than on the Moon...

It doesn't hold up one way or another. While I can understand that fiction can have larger or smaller worlds, this story seems to be implying this is actually Earth but after something changed that brought ruination to the civilization. And even if not, it DOES heavily imply that the same physics are in effect. Meanwhile, much larger or much smaller, still solid planets with similar gravity are only possible with use of some non-existent materials or extremely high-fantasy magic.

At first It kind of bugged me that the planet was 243,000 days walk, it's to rounded of a number. Then I remembered that when the Welsh geographer George Everest first surveyed Mount Everest's height, his final calculations came out to be exactly 29,000 feet tall, he changed it to 29,002 to make it more believable or at least that's how the story goes. Sometimes it just works out that way. Also with satellites we measured the peak’s height to be 29,029 feet tall, so Everest was pretty god damned close. All this made even more impressive by the fact that his tool were primitive by modern standards and he had to do it from more than 100 miles away from the peak because Nepal’s government wouldn’t allow the Britishers to enter their country.

Cheeseburger or bigmac?

No, don't be silly. A cheeseburger is an American unit of currency, until recently it was tied to the dollar, that's where we got the "dollar menu" from. Fries are how we make change.

i thought you guys use XM7 AR per School Corridor?

We can't use that anymore, ammo is just to expensive. I've heard some people want to import the new European stabbing/beheading range standard but I don't think it'll stick.

I was afraid I might've made a typo but it was 15,555 units for the kingdom and 1,944 units between towns; which does not appear to be to scale especially if you look at their map w/ the total number of vertical points on the grid,

there's two dots in separate provinces south of Sacula which must be the towns they're talking about, but they should be further apart

 

[bluenoirblues]

I don't remember this part. . .

Yeah I skimmed through the light novel to find any specific town names but nothing comes up, and any further than Volume 2 continues onto the future

 

[Xel-naga]

This manga is interesting.
I suspect that their initial calculations is quite inaccurate because the lack of a common measuring unit, more work for Ash to do.

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[Axelord]

Yeah, those numbers are scuffed.
As an aside, I'm almost more annoyed by the way he had people walk back and forth with rope to measure distance. That's just... a dick move. Put a wheel with a known circumference on a stick with either a mark (or something like a bell that rings off a post on the wheel once per turn) and start counting. A ye olde version of a measuring wheel.
Measuring time off distance is more accurate than measuring distance off time. Even then, you're better off measuring distance directly. You don't walk at the same pace in the evening as you do in the morning, for one.

 

[Doenyon]

The way I understand it it's that the distance between the two towns is 1944 steps (if they are using day walking as explained here), so it's about 1.5km. Which makes no sense for the size of the planet, like about 200 km as circumference ? Damn, that's very very small.
If it's not steps but days of walking, that's way too big instead. So... Hopefully the author will clarify at some point.
Also... whichever it is, it just makes me laugh how the mc completely forgot days don't always have the same length, and people don't travel the same amount of time when they can reach their destination by the end, of if they need to stop before that to set up a camp and stuff.
But good for that girl to find her calling, you can get there !

It's 243,000 days of walk™! (+-200,000)
