Who in their right mind would say two thousand five hundred instead of two and a half thousand.

 

[jack992]

yay more!!! I am reading the novel, but I really enjoy having visuals. Can you imagine this as an anime, I feel like it would feel different than the manga and novel, but in a more exciting way, like a mix between interspecies reviewers and I can't think of a good space action besides one that has a completely different tone like Cowboy Bebop.

In my opinion, this series feels more like a spiritual successor to Outlaw Star than Cowboy Bebop.

I haven't seen outlaw star, Cowboy Bebop is the closest show I have seen with a similar setting (single ship with crew on an action adventure) just the tone was much too different to even consider it something like a spiritual successor.

Let the the dwarfs cook

 

[StealthAria]

Fun fact, space combat IRL, at least ship to ship, would be boring and terrible. Aim laser, hope your laser heats up the enemy faster than theirs warms your ship up, winner is the one with the least cooked crew.

Seriously, dumping heat wouldn't work quickly enough because there's no air to let radiators work well.

Most sci-fi ships have magic cooling.

You don't really need a large volume of air to make radiators work, you just need some medium to dump heat into and that could be anything from a big tank of water, to a thermoelectric generator, to mere photons.

BTW, that heat build-up issue also means that laser weapons are actually a less than ideal weapon for space combat; the emitter and wiring would produce a bunch of heat, and any lenses or mirrors you use to aim or focus the beam would also be soaking up some amount of heat that would need to be dispersed. There's also the problem that if the target has good reflective/refractive armor then you might have as much as 99.998% of your laser's output being sent right back at you.

Hiro my dude, stop sulking like this. You will be fucking them both in due course.

 

[GridLite]

He just bought a portable stove? I guess the author will just pop up things along the way and just say "yea i bought this too, i just forgot about telling it because i bought many"

Ah, I forgot to add the fact that it all happens at distances where no one ever gets close enough to see anything (hundreds, if not thousands, of km out). Lasers would be used for missile defense, regardless, and take them out before they were seen.

You're right about the heat build up being an issue for generating lasers, but even with a water tank, you can only soak up so much before it gets saturated and causes a steam explosion.

Basically, it'll never be Star Wars or Star Trek. Heck, even current day air to air combat for top tier militaries is beyond visual range. Last air to air gun kill was an A-10 vs. a helicopter back in the 90s.

Heat management will be the name of the game. Just hope the laser is intense enough to warp the reflective coating enough to make it useless before your coating fails.

you don't need more bedrooms, just a
bigger bed

Except most authors tend to only think of multiple partners loving 1 male or 1 female MC. Instead of multiple partners actually loving each other.

I just find it weird for authors to write harems that act like everyone is in a singular relationship with the MC. The only fiction where you see it done otherwise is smut or outright porn. Which is weird since I would think those two genre would favor harems that worship one MC.

 

[Reincrop]

Yeah, I can definitely get why he wouldn't toast to that - his encounter with them started with a Wissile being sent right into his torso. Still, it did come with its fair share of benefits.
Either way, thanks for the translations so far - always nice to come back and get some quick reading in when things pile up!

 

[Hughmann27]

Out of curiosity, someone has a link to the novel ? Kinda wanna read it after seeing all these comments

Lightnovelstranslations.com has the WN. I get the localized US versions on Kindle of the LN. They’re nice because the author usually will add an extra chapter or two that don’t show up anywhere else.

can you, or anyone else caught up with the novel, spoil me? does he ever end up with the noble's daughter or does the prospect seem likely? if not i don't want to continue investing myself in the manga.

She is currently underage, and this will be picked up in quite a few arcs from now. I think 8 arcs... even then they need to wait due to noble coming of age. If you want a blunt answer:

They are getting setup to be married in the most recent chapter, but she is still underage so it is just planned for now. Her family and other friendly nobles work on the wedding plans until then.

you can keep track using novelupdates.com just look up 'I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship, so I Became a Space Mercenary' and add it to your reading list.

I reached the end (again, I read this years ago), how sad.
WTF IS HIS HAREM THO

 

[ppaaccoojrf]

It makes more sense if you consider it from a currency perspective. Using USD as an example, all denominations greater than $100 were discontinued by the US Department of the Treasury over 50 years ago due to lack of use, and even before then, it was exceedingly rare for any transaction to use them instead of a check or some other form of currency exchange. So $2500 for most people would be 25 $100 bills, or twenty-five-hundred.

Funnily enough, Japanese has the opposite problem, where the number system actually doesn't go high enough, so larger numbers like 100,000 or 1,000,000 have to be stated in terms of 10000 (万/man). So 1,000,000 is expressed as "one-hundred ten-thousands".

This is not accurate.
The Japanese number system based on ten-thousands predates the current denominations of Japanese currency and was borrowed from the Chinese system that is largely the same. It's largely unrelated to the currency and the fact that 10k JPY and 100 USD are largely similar amounts, that both are the largest denominations in circulations, and that 10k and 100 can be used respectively in the number systems as independent counting words, are all just a coincidence.

You misunderstand. My comment about currency is specifically in regards to English, as the original comment I responded to was musing about how native English-speakers have some unique ways of stating numbers that can confuse non-native speakers.

The second paragraph regarding the Japanese numbering system was stating how, in contrast to English having the practice of reducing larger numbers into multiples of smaller division by choice, despite having nomenclature for every 3 decimal points above thousands, Japanese speakers are required to do so, due to their highest "single" unit being ten-thousands. Though IIRC, they do have another unit above that( 10-million or 100-million, I think?) but I'm not sure if it's actually in active use nowadays.

 

[The_Absolute_Bastard]

Currently there is no release date for the next chapter of raws. I'll edit this if I see that changes.

On another note the official English manga will be up to volume 8 in January, so anyone who wants to support it can get within 1 volume of the current raws! The official novel translations are slightly behind with volume 11 of 13 releasing in February.

You're right about the heat build up being an issue for generating lasers, but even with a water tank, you can only soak up so much before it gets saturated and causes a steam explosion.

Late, but I thought I'd chime in with this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercritical_fluid

Water by itself already has one hell of a capacity for thermal energy. It's why it's the preferred medium for moving heat from PWR nuclear reactors to their steam generators.

But once you achieve the supercritical state with water, you can pack a hell of a lot more thermal energy in there. The only limit is how strong your containment vessel is.

In fact, there's been a not-insignificant amount of research going into the idea of using supercritical water as a rocket propellant. So yeah, in a setup where you have weaponry that generates significant amounts of thermal energy as a byproduct? That would wind up just becoming more "fuel" for your engines.

Hey friendos... any of you know what chapter this is on novelupdates?
