Kouchuugun Shikan Boukensha ni Naru - Vol. 7 Ch. 45 - Preparations for Departure

I don't think you need to over think about it. Nations always forge their own currency, and when the entire world uses the same currency it's in no nation's own interest to over forge. Also aren't the coins made using gold? So that's also limited in supply. The machine only refines ores and stamps out coins, not making coins out of nothing.

inflation for things like currency is only really a problem for fiat currency they way this reads is it is a precious metal based currency which unless you magically make gold appear from thin air holds value

Dude you education is just brainwashing with extra steps, all you are doing is making things harder on everyone, use the machine on the kids!

 

[kaminomikan]

man... so... what happened to source author? seems like even LN isn't updating?

 

[silens]

I've been enjoying 'I'm the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire!' and 'Reborn as a Space Mercenary'. Evil Lord is a bit softer, Space Mercenary is about as hard.

Ah yes the Elite Dangerous one, yep that's a good one.

It's either the author stopped their activity completely (gone/axed), or totally switching to writing for the manga exclusively for now.

We can only wait and see how it proceeds until the manga catches the most recent plot point in the LN/WN, whether they continue the manga, axed, or gone hiatus from the manga to go back to the LN/WN.

Wouldn't any time travel bullshit of it being earth thousand of years in the future be pretty easy to debunk?

Shape of continents, the celestial bodies of our solar system, the position of the stars since star positions are probably the best way to accurately navigate the solar system?

And it wouldn't make much sense if they travelled away from human territory to Uncharted space searching for the bug home world, explosion onboard, drop out of FTL and be back in our solar system thousand of years later.

This work has a bunch of intriguing mysteries. The explosion on board, the entity talking to him, the advanced tech, the magic, humans existing on multiple planets. All that shit.

So let the author cook, we don't want him to quickly throw something together and it being dumb

To the name similarities, I think it was either explained or mentioned in a previous chapter or the lastest chapter of the web novel which is on haitus and is basically the talking in bar scene at the end

Thanks for the chapter 👍🏼

Advanced tech in the ruins...
Is this a time travel situation?

Spoiler: Plot twist

 

[welcome2atlantis]

The timeline doesn't match. Something weird must have happened on that planet...

 

[zarian2]

Very close to the moment of truth! Hopefully the author is continuing the manga.

 

[malfoym]

LESGO WE GOING TO UNKNOWN TERITORRY RN. but please dont rush the story cuz we are seeing insane plot like technology from futuristic ones, maybe slow down and focus on the world first rather than go outer space already

 

[ilusatus]

Is this gonna be "hes descendant of gods" revelation they conclude?

 

[kevin282819]

Dunno about the Ln but I remember something like this in the wn, so still not quite in new territory yet, but we're real close.

Edit: the Guinea alchemint is ch 93, itelinerary check and identity speculation in ch 95,

Regarding the advanced tech, this story has the setting that some humans started spacefaring from one planet and ran into other humans on other planets, again and again and again, of varying tech levels, and integrated them all into one empire that our Mc is from. Obviously this means there was a galaxy (maybe multiple galaxies) spanning human empire in the past that colonized a whole lot of planets before disintegrating for unknown reasons. This planet is also one of those, it just so happens that there is some more tech left over from that ancient empire than most other planets. No particularly amazing reveal as of yet

if there's time-travel shenanigans, my guess is the ship AI Iris Conrad's calendar is off by hundreds of thousands of years and the bugs' arrival is a lot closer than they think or Alan arrived in post-post-bug apocalypse. The former would probably more interesting storytelling-wise as it raises the stakes even more.

That sure is a lot of orphans

Something like this sounds a lot more plausible, and frankly more interesting, to me than time travel.

Making this manga a time travel plotline now would be like doing a stage magician hat trick, but pulling out a broken ipod instead of a rabbit.

Heh... Any social conditioning is "brainwashing", if you look at it deeply and cynically enough. And yes, that includes school.

While it may seem like a slam-dunk to just use the machine to force-feed things into the kids' minds, I think our MC has realised a very important set of problems with this:

- First of all, any teaching/conditioning done by those machines is based on a highly militaristic society involved in an "eternal" war, which mores and customs do not match up with this world's society.
The MC is not going to make "pod people" that would only antagonise the locals, because they would notice the radical change in behaviour.
There's some classic SF about that...

- Second, not every child may be suited for "Education". And there's no telling what would happen to their minds if things go Wrong.
In the Galactic Empire there are no doubt specialists who can tailor "Education" to the individual, but that expertise is not present here, and whatever is possible is geared to people who have been pre-conditioned and pre-selected.

- The Empire is, for all practical purposes, gone . Until further notice.
Conditioning people with loyalty to something that isn't there, and may never materialise is plain stupid.
The practical and tactical matter of the situation is that according to all available data this world is all they've got to work with, at least for the foreseeable future.
So you work with what's available, under local conditions.

- People have different aptitudes, and this world does have that medieval method of education through apprenticeships that people are used to.
It is far easier to introduce "school" into this to pick out the few bright bulbs from the masses who may be suited for "Education" and let the rest train naturally according to their aptitudes under tutors.
The way our MC is setting things up is much less likely to make unwanted waves than force-feeding unneeded things into kid's minds.

In the end, as powerful as the Landing Team is, and even if they have something close to a small army already, there are vastly more people on this planet. Some of whom are still unknown entities, not under "control" , and some probably quite antagonistic.
They still need to operate in relative Stealth Mode to survive.

This..

A seeder/origin race makes much more sense than time travel.
Of course... the Trope will have it that this particular planet was the Origin System. Possibly later re-colonised.
Vance, Niven, and van Vogt used that one a lot.

Yeah this is also my thought on the matter as well and why I find this to be particularly exciting. This would neatly tie everything together.

This would mean that magic is a form of technology that's far beyond the understanding of the current human galactic empire.

This would also mean that Alan if he ever does reconnect with the empire would be heralded as the greatest discover of his generation. He found the missing link that connects humanity to its ancient ancestors.

Time travel would be kinda lame at this point.

The Coming of the End.

And I really like this series too :/
