Genjitsushugi Yuusha no Oukoku Saikenki - Ch. 55.1 - The Kingdom's Secret Weapons (2)

[KingsMan12]

No more scanlations, huh.... oh well....

 

[LeonsamaX]

Those parachutes look like they need more work and I'm sure there's better ways to secure the soldiers on to the wyvers but overall it's good progress for what he has to work with

 

[screamdoom]

he created suicide batallion.

Please don't drop this because of the official translation. Their site is garbage.

Their site isn't that bad. And more important for me personally their translations are pretty good. At least they don't do the extremely annoying localization translation, like shitty sevenseas. I hate their translations with a passion. I bough one series from them...NEVER AGAIN.

 

[Shinigami_Death]

Imagine there's an actual giant af dragon in the mountain sleeping that Souma subdued.

 

[SchultzD]

ppl are so fixated on traditional airplanes....mount 4 pivotable prop. devices on a frame and you have your hovercraft (more or less)

Flying magic carpets for military use, huh?

I'd personally prefer high altitude Zeppelins with magically guided bombs.

 

[dextersTomato]

What if, the genius girl invented the sonic susumu mark and will drive the wyvern at least for Mach 5?
It will go around the sky with sonic boom while its flesh will rain down the sky.

Spoiler: BEHOLD SPOILER!!!

They were actually in the aircraft carrier equivalent in this world

 

[Dantrig]

our dude forgot parachutes need a hole to stabilize the drop, or the air cushion will sway you about wildly.

Not to mention they would land at about 20 mph, and every one of them touched down on a single leg. Thats a good way to get a broken leg and other parts.

 

[Gilthwixt]

If the wyvern is so fast anti-air can't catch up, why can't you just do the attack with that wyvern(or the soldier on it) instead of the paratrooper?

I don't think it's a replacement for air interdiction, airborne assault is a distinctly separate mission type but sometimes you get air frames that can do both (see: AC-130 vs C-130) . The point is that you can blow up targets all day but you still need boots on the ground to secure and hold territory. MC (and by extension the author) is being smart by using limited resources in dual-purpose roles that kind of make sense even if he messed up with the parachutes a little.

 

[DooScoobyDoo]

Why doesn't he create fast moving equipped with bombs for SEAD/DEAD missions rather than using para dropped soldiers for it.

 

[Dragou]

You already have a method of propulsion, why not just create an aircraft at that point
better, faster, and more agile than a creature

I think you are at least partly wrong there.
Faster is one that can be true if they build something sizable enough, but that would take much more time and can maybe build in the future.
More agile is absolutely wrong. Living beeings in the air are much more agile than all of our aircrafts. Wyverns and Griffons would win in that area by a landslide.

So if they are better .... it really depends on its usage, situation and many other factors.
Still doing these things and creating them will most likely take much more time AND we dont even know what else they are building/researching currently. Be it military stuff or non military stuff.

So, some weird official publisher just dropped its link here. Does that mean the scanlation gonna stopped now?

Not really, that not J-Novel that's putting those links.
MD put those J-Novel link themselves to get the official english more exposure. It's the same as scanlators telling people to go buy official english when it's available, and directing them to the link.

 

[x_renon_x]

Please dont drop this because of the official translation. There site is garbage

You misunderstood the J-Novel links. The official english was released like a year ago amd LHTranslation still released their version.
MD put those links to give exposure to the official english, which is the same as scanlators telling people to go buy official english when they release in your region.

They've had little presence, that's all the reason.

 

[kar777]

So when will isekai oppenheimer appear?

 

[paela69]

combining fantasy and real-world industrial technology as a means of military advancements makes me bricked up I tell you what

 

[HeavyZeke]

So when will isekai oppenheimer appear?

Time to become a Mangaka lol.

Not neccesarily. Even with modern technology today, we still are finding natural biological design the holy grail that keeps on giving. Aircraft themselves were designed by trying to imitate birds. A plane that flies like a bird (and still has thrust) could arguably be far more maneuverable. It could move in completely unpredictable ways that no aircraft could truly mimick.

(granted a fighter jet that can fly at supersonic speeds, at high altitudes and with advanced weaponry and targeting abilities still is a deadlier aircraft, but we are comparing tomatoes to potatoes at that point. Javelins to missiles.)

Just because they have a method of propulsion, doesn't mean their materials(what traditionally held humanity back from making planes the most) have advanced to a point they are light and strong enough to fly.

Simply using an existing vehicle with very good maneuverability, giving it additional thrust to go faster and be capable of more maneuvers, is way more simple than designing and building a entire aircraft.


All of that said, Wyverns are not built for the additional strain of going at those speeds, which can potentially cause more injuries.(unless they can be reinforced with something like strengthening magic)


Long term planes will be better than wyverns overall. It's worth researching and developing planes if possinle. But it will take years, decades perhaps to get there. In the meantime, rocket wyverns are superior to regular wyverns.

Yes that's what i'm talking about, i'm not saying that he should ditched the rocket wyverns completely
it's just that it would be wiser to research and develop an aircraft alongside the rocket wyvern
since his philosophy isn't to get the upper hand as soon as possible, but to develop the means to deter
an invasion from the empire such if the empire abandon her current foreign policy,
which would mean that he's thinking far into the future
granted i don't know much about the novel so he might have already done that, but for now
it's good enough i guess

 

[hahano]

aw man I thought those AA batteries would be katyushas... well that's good enough

Well, you know, aeronautics (?), aerodynamics, and stuffs (idk the right word for it), how wings works, how to produce lift, etc. He might not have the knowledge for it to properly convey the idea, and finding the right "brain" will takes time, so for the time being, why not just use living beings that already know how to fly properly and add propulsion tech that he luckily stumbled upon?

Also, you know that how birds fly and how our aircrafts fly aren't exactly the same, right?
