Now that I think about it, this might be the first time I've seen "standardized measurements" as the thing that an isekai protagonist brings to the world...

metric system

Let's hope so. It would be a lot easier for future generations than just standardising the whatever traditional system they currently have. Standardising a traditional one might be welcomed by current artisans & businesses, who wouldn't really need to get used to anything new. They would just need to get new measuring sticks, scales, and such, but otherwise they could continue what they have been always doing. However, in the future if industry expands and science develops, they would feel the pressure to create whole new standards, wasting the old work. So, better go through all the pain now and be done with it forever.

Creating a standardized metric system solely to ensure that your constructed dollhouses are perfectly proportioned is like single-handedly destroying big tobacco just because you don’t want to smell secondhand smoke

Also, gotta wonder how they set up their measurement specifications. In our world it’s all based on immutable laws - the meter is how long a beam of light travels in a fraction of a fraction of a second, for instance. It used to be based off standard measurements, but even with those you can get deviations after a while.

Thanks for translating the chapter!

If she reins him in, it'll go from child's play to horse play!

Thanks for the chapter!

 

[ARealCoolGuy]

calling your unified measurement system the... 'mis measurement' is an absolute marketing disaster.

On the next episode of Koushaku Reijou ni Tensei shiteshimatta node, Mental Otome na Ore wa, Zenryoku de Onnanoko wo Tanoshimimasu: (Does this have a shortened title?) Miranda invents quantum physics to make sure her dolls don't quantum tunnel through the floor, the prince is kidnapped by a cutpurse, and war breaks out on Fantasy-Saturn.

Stay tuned!

Twenty bucks says another reason for mass manufacture is for city planning.
if you can get a general and standardized layout to a city in place, you can ensure amenities are properly allocated and increase overall efficiency and cleanliness.

That last page... "my gf is spending too much of her own money impulsively on doll-related goods. When we marry I must make sure to control her properly and ensure she doesn't waste her own money" is a big red flag.

metric system

sadly not. Sounds like they only took the artefacts the shops all had (which was already standardized? Just not to the mm), and applied some more exact standardization to it, likely with a central artefact-maker.

And somehow she thinks that those "preparation" makes it easier for the metric system to be made? In the other hand I feel like it will make it harder, since there will be less need (same reason metric still havent taken the globe)

Seen it before. Even to the point it makes little sense, like how in Delve he makes his own company use metric when the rest of the world uses their version of imperial units.

Fun little aside, most of the metric systems measurements as we currently know them actually are based on Some foundational physics of light and radio waves. Since they provide a nearly perfect measurement basis that can be expanded and correlated. Meaning no matter where you go in the universe, even different planets with different gravitational sources, or if you meet other species, you can form a common basis of measurement based simply off the Cosmic microwave background Frequency of hydrogen at 21 cm. Once you establish that, you can freely convert to whatever system they use. And if you want to accomodate for gravitational differences, using that baseline allows for it to happen easier.

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[BayuAH]

Standardization units arc. As an engineer, I feel so happy!

^Woohoo!

Thank you for the update!

After all, innovation is the result of humans' desire for war, lust, and fumos.

That's not of huge help to Miranda, though. The chapter didn't explain what she did, not even if she created a new system or standardised whatever they had. If she went for something similar to ours, I'd guess she needed to approximate the metre. Maybe if they already had a foot (somewhat similar to the American one), she could have taken three of them for a metre. Then just teach folks the whole decimal system. A kg would be a cubic decimeter of water. That sort of thing, for a quick, easy start. It doesn't really matter if they match our SI, it only matters they would be logical and thus useful for science and engineering. Later generations could then redefine them by relying on the speed of light and whatnot.

Anyone else find their name for the system off-putting and/or grating?

MIS Specification Standard -> Mirandiehl Industrial Standard Specification Standard

Accidentally bankrupting a nation because you introduced a very expensive past time to your partner is not good.

I said it was the first time I'd seen it, not the first time it's been done lol
