Re: Zero

He could probably invent the steam engine and get rich that way, assuming there is some kind of patent system in place so he doesn't get robbed blind.

>>140113387
This MC is fucking retarded in everything he does. Don't pay him much attention.

Using modern world knowledge to game the system and get ahead is a common cliche in shitty isekai WNs, even when it makes no fucking sense. For example he might invent a firearm.

Anyone else can’t stand Felt?

She goes all bootstrappy on us, because she’s ashamed to be associated with the other slumdogs since

>they’re just a bunch of stingy losers

But then the anime cuts to a bunch of impoverished kids. Lots of people are bums who have embraced their lot in life, but I doubt those kids chose to be poor and hungry.

But of course, the MC who's probably never had to face poverty or homelessness in his whole life gets that “Oniichan so proud!” look on his face when he’s done hearing her rant, then pats her on the head.

It's just condescending to people who are poor because of systemic instead of personal failures.

Honestly? If I could start off with 20 holy coins (they are practically platinum coins, above gold) I could live a VERY luxurious life as an inventor and investor in a fantasy world.

That's the "joke", because thats how this kind of anime rolls and this was to sell itself as "something different"-

You know, the same way in this kind of anime characters are "choosen ones" but the show wants to sell us he is in other world but is a "nobody".

For some reason japan thinks that being aware of the cliches and repeat them making fun about them makes them someway less cliche.

People seriously underestimate the technological level required to make one.

>>140113891
And what sorts of things would you invent?

>>140114037
I don't remember how stupid I was in highschool, but I don't feel like I've learned much more in the two decades since.
I imagine quite a few highschool kids (at least ones that didn't go to the awful public schools you guys have in America) around the world would be far more knowledgeable than your average medieval fantasy denizen.

>>140114197
That's only the shit writers who write Deadpool purely that way.

>>140114256
He doesn't even need to build a Kalashnikov or a Colt revolver or something, a basic matchlock (blackpowder is pretty easy to make) could change warfare and make him rich, Japan knows this thanks to Nobunaga.

>>140114256
I would first start with examining the level of agriculture the civilization is at.
There are quite a few inventions, such as hand pumps, watermill, windmill, filtering, and crop rotations, that weren't wide spread in the world until much later.
Then there's obviously the printing press. The logic behind the printing press is quite simple and very easy to duplicate, yet the tech was largely only used in small parts of China until the wide spread use until 15th century Europe.

I could go on.

>>140114197
Watched first 30 minutes of Deadpool the other day, the humor was pretty flat desu, I don't know why it gets praised to much.

>>140114308
Then should I mention The Tick? Or how about Drawn Together?
The point is, it's hardly a "Japanese" thing.

>>140114355
While that's true, I doubt most high school kids would know how to cultivate saltpeter from defecation and urine. Or purifying them from minerals.

>>140114355
>a basic matchlock (blackpowder is pretty easy to make)
What are you going to make the barrel from? That heavily depends on the level of smelting technology. If they don't have blast furnaces, you're going to have a hard time.

>>140114375
>There are quite a few inventions, such as hand pumps, watermill, windmill, filtering, and crop rotations, that weren't wide spread in the world until much later.
Those are good ideas, but could you put them into practice? Would you know which crops precisely to use, when to sow them, etc.? I'm rather doubtful in regards to the agricultural knowledge of the average anon, or modern person in general. When it comes to building water powered machinery, it would also require quite a bit of experience in regards to wood working. Certainly if you're lucky, you could present yourself as this sorts of "ideas guy" who gives people vague instructions, but whether you get to participate in the generated wealth from these ideas is rather questionable if you're unable to do actually do anything.

>>140113387
Watch black knight. Chances are people of medival magical world know shit about advertising so you can pretty much recreate the whole history of advertising one step at a time and make dosh on an easy mode.

>>140113824
I can't stand her either, but in the show's defense I don't think you're meant to agree with her line of thinking.
At first glance, it does seem like she's going Eren Jeager on us by dismissing those who don't have the will or the strength to get out of their predactiment like her; even MC was surprised by how harsh she was.
But I believe the cut to the bunch of poor kids was on the contrary meant to illustrate the contrast between the tough front Felt is putting on and the reality of her situation (as well as her true feelings): she may pride herself in actively trying to get out of poverty, but to the rest of the world she's still nothing but a petty thief who barely scrapes by on stealing stuff on rich people's request. I mean, don't know shit aout this world's currency, but I doubt 20 holy coins would even buy her a house in the city center.

tl;dr She very much still is one of those slum kids the anime cut to during her speech, and ackowledging that weighs her down. MC kindof understood what the problem was, and the pat on the head, aleit pretty patronizing, was his piss poor attempt at cheering her up.
All theory tho: maybe i'm just the one giving this show way too much credit

>>140114833
>Would you know which crops precisely to use, when to sow them, etc.?
barley, wheat, turnips, clover. No, I don't know when to sow and when to harvest, but trial and error can fix that.

Hand pumps are INSANELY easy mechanism, and yes, anyone with even the most basic understanding of physics can build them.
Despite their simple design, wells were manual labor for a freakishly long time in our history.
As for mills, yeah, you would be the "idea guy" but building a small model to test won't take all that much work.
You can pay and hire wood workers to work with your design and research.

As for printing press, a fifth grader can build the most basic one. Hell, bunch of wood blocks with alphabets carved into them would suffice at first, and that's how the earliest Chinese ones worked too.

Depends really on how exactly he was wasting his time on the internet, there's any amount of random Wikipedia shit he could have picked up like >>140114586 how to make blackpowder or >>140114833 crop rotations.

Hell, take the stirrup, widespread in Asia hundreds of years before it arrived in medieval Europe. If they don't have the stirrup yet, he could patent the idea and get rich.

>>140115409
>trial and error can fix that.
The issue is that plants don't grow that fast, and you'd need a lot of influence to convince people whose survival depends on their agriculture to partake in your experiments.

>As for mills, yeah, you would be the "idea guy" but building a small model to test won't take all that much work. You can pay and hire wood workers to work with your design and research.
It would still take a modicum of influence to get people to work for you.

In the end - if you really want influence you'd need to build a water powered furnace, oxidisation ovens, develop iron casting, etc. - that's going to be of interest to the higher ups.

>>140115497
>If they don't have the stirrup yet, he could patent the idea and get rich.
Pro-tip: people didn't really care that much about patents back then. The idea that you demand to pay them money for using an idea would have probably seemed ridiculous to them. Copyright is more of an 18th century thing.

Industrial revolution was possible because a insane load of shit piled up towards it.
Automation? Yupp

Stuff like the steam engine, farming improvement, and penicillin isn't worth shit without the other stuff. Penicillin and sanitation for instance need to be combined with improved farm yields and good birth control to not ruin a society.
Even more of the industrialization depends on external factors, such as banking existing, and patent systems.

It would take you about 4 years to test each attempt. And a rather large plot of land to do so for each attempt.
On the top of that, you have no way of taking soil samples, or verifying if it works. For all you know, your correct attempt might be because the birds has better shit the year of the final harvest, or the weather is more optimal.

Well, looking at Re:Zero's world, not everyone can use magic. You need some "magic gates" stuff opened up, and the fact that "magic items usable by non-magic people" are very valuable, shows that if magic users can already do it, there's still incentive to make a non-magic alternative.

Ultimately, a lot of these ideas require trial and error to get right, unless you have professional knowledge of the subject.
However, that means that you would nee a lot of time and resources to pull these ideas off. Unless you're a noble or a royal, you're not likely to have the sort of resources to just trial-and-error everything until you get something right.

So basically, if we're talking realistically, you'd really want it for even the most basic stuff until you know for sure they're safe.

>>140141986
Depends on the reaction you are looking for.

>>140142063
I'm sorry, but I can count on one hand the number of highschoolers I have ever met who could conclusively write even basic calculus proofs.

And if you can't show the work behind how your integrals came to be and how they apply to the world it doesn't mean anything.

shit on every accountant with high school math, make money to build a distillery, eventually having enough money to build a printing press while spending money to keep the high-ranking priests in your favour so they shut up the lower-ranking priests trying to fuck you over

.etc .etc

>>140142406
There are so many things wrong with this I don't know where to start.

>>140142406
Brewing is one of the least profitable pre industrial trades.
Because industrialization lead to specialization, and before that, everyone brewed all kinds of alcohol. And there was no real law either, so thats stopping nobody either.

According to Mount and Blade it seems like selling butter is very profitable

>>140142235
That depends on the level of rigor they do math with back then. People integrated even before they proved Fubini's theorem.

A highschooler that actually studied math could certainly convince people of the intuition behind it.

>implying medieval citizens are all mathematical geniuses

>>140139064
You could probably make a lot in the time it takes for information to spread.

>>140142695
Okay so, butter is:
1. Compact
2. Stores well(shelf life of what... 1-2 years?)
3. Is refined from milk, something that expires within 1-2 days
4. Quality is generally good
5. Has actual uses for war campaigns and famines, and trading

Beyond that: All I really know of pre industrial butter is that it was used as tax currency in Scandinavia during the 1100-1300s. Which speaks leagues of how solid it was.

>>140140225
>investment capital

Find a good buyer and sell the clothes off your back and buy cheaper ones. I would imagine someone would be extremely intrigued with zippers, velcro, and polyester clothes.

>>140142744
>implying they weren't
Were you there?

>>140142235
Japanese high school ends with integral calculus, so I guess it would depend on whether or not MC is a senior/genius/familiar with seniors.

>>140143500
By the time you could a collector, the clothes would be dirty or worn, ruining most of their value.
On the top of that, polyester would be of lower quality than linen. Velcro is worth fuck all without being able to reproduce it, and even then its worthless because its already used in a wool process.
Zippers is the one good thing. It speaks of quality. But its nothing special. Its special in post industrial society because:
1. Patents
2. No connection needed to actually produce the patent
3. Mass produced clothes need to be practical to reduce volume production needed

>>140143666
>nips are forced to do calc
Holy shit

>>140143500
>Zippers too complex.

The concept of flat buttons would be more practical.

>>140143530
They weren't. Education was limited to nobles and the church.

>>140139944
Really? I'm impressed. I kind of want a maid now
Do tell me more anon

>>140143770
How did they limit education?

>>140143849
books being wicked expensive maybe?

>>140143882
>implying peasants can read

>>140143882
How expensive would they be?

>>140143704
My high-school also made students take calculus.

Granted, I retained absolutely none of it, because Caclulus looked like devil arts to me.

>>140143849
The only available teachers charged a fuck ton?
Free Compulsory Education wasn't really widespread until recently.

>>140142695
Wouldn't getting involved with the spice trade be better than butter?

Because come on, where are you gonna find all those cow farms to provide demand for butter for a big population?

Starting a spice trade would be easier to do in comparison.

Because raising cows also requires land and water and shit.

Meanwhile, spices come from plants and plants just need water, sunlight, and good soil.

>>140143686
This is for investment capital, not a long term source of money.

Nobles have been noted to pay exorbitant amounts for exotic goods from the East. What would they pay for something that is not seen in this world?

>>140143949
Raid some villages they always are full of butter

>>140143849
By not providing it for free.

in conclusion, isekai stories are fucking retarded

>>140143500
What kind of materials did they use for clothes and shoes back then?

>>140143978
Sorry but I think making milk, butter, etc mainstream would be too hard to do in those times.

Not enough cows and milk based products would be considered a luxury item for just a few people who are farmers or nobles.

Shouldn't we care about something more important than milk like Clean Water, instead?

Like water you can actually drink without an ill effects?

How did water purification work in ancient times besides boiling water?

>>140144104
They didn't purify water anon. It was either clean or not.

>>140141282
What if everyone but you can use magic. Except for you, of course since you come from a manaless world.

>>140144104
drinking wine was cheaper than clean water

>>140143849
>>140143907
They don't. But with books being off limit because they are literally worth more than expensive cars, there is no mass produced material to start learning to read.
On the top of that, being a scribe is a actual occupation, further reducing the need to be able to read.
Basically: Nobles could afford a tutor or a scribe to teach their children to read. Everyone else was unlikely.

>>140143954
What makes a trader a trader, is that he needs to convince the buyer that he is legit.
Which is interesting, because you mention investment capital. Because Industrialization reduced the prices on everything by 20-500x, for about every single existing raw material.
Whatever you are investing in, is likely too expensive for you. Most likely you have to become a apprentice in a trade to get access to the materials on the job, and even then its severely limited compared to modern times.

>>140144166
That depends what magic is and can do.

>>140144032
Materials that did not include zippers, velcro, and polyester?

>>140143686
>Patents
Stop this. All you and all the other idiots ITT are saying is that without a monopoly you couldn't make a ton money.

That is factually inaccurate. For one it's not the modern era, people won't copy you overnight and you can easily move to new areas that haven't heard of it yet because communication back then was terrible. For two you don't need a monopoly to sell something that is novel and helpful.

The intention of the patent system was simply an incentive system to encourage invention anyways. The time-limited protection was merely an incentive not a necessity.

>>140144032
Pretty much what we're using today, minus polyester. Cotton and silk.
Only difference is the techniques to produce better textiles.

How difficult would it be to produce polyester in a pre-industrial society?

>>140144104
>Mix yeast and fruits and water
>Literally forget it

does that still mean I'm still special because magic won't work on me either

>>140144104
Making butter and milk mainstream is hard?
What?
Didn't everyone have it?

>>140144282
It took an incredibly long time before the concept of the milk man delivering glass bottles full of milk could be available to everybody.

>>140144255
Is this really how it happened. I have no idea how those fuckers made wine.

>>140144243
Polyester is plastic right? Assuming you could find the plant, its whatever.
But there is a good chance you would need a industrial chain to even make a good volume profitable.

>>140144282
I don't think the commoner diet back then was luxurious enough to include milk and butter at the table.

Like come on, you think every single person in medieval era could even afford eggs on the table every morning.

Milk is expensive. Eggs are expensive.

>>140144192
>Because Industrialization reduced the prices on everything by 20-500x, for about every single existing raw material.
Examples? What the fuck? Is this legit?

>>140144104
>How did water purification work in ancient times besides boiling water?
We're talking about a time before germs were known about. They didn't attempt to purify unclean water. They didn't realize that it was things in the water that made it unclean, they thought it was just one of it's qualities like being wet.

>>140144150
>>140144184
Damn that sucks.

Drinking bad water literally gives you the shits.

Must be depressing to be forced to drink alcohol every day because it was safer than drinking water.

How come animals seem to tolerate unclean water better than humans.

>>140144371
So like what did commoners eat then?

>>140113387
guns.

>>140144447
Different immune system and shit probably.

>>140144282
If you lived at a farm, which was what... 70% of the feudal society?
So if there was cows, there could be milk.
But its a gigantic waste to drink it. Since it could be turned into sour cream, cream, butter, yoghurt, cheese, kefir and shitloads of things that stores well.

>>140144454
Pre Potato or post potato? Because those are very different diets.
If in doubt: Drown in corn and corn substitutes

>>140144312
But who discovered the concept of milk brah

>>140144454
Likely a lot of grains. Meat would be a luxury.

They definitely didn't have access to sugar, though, which is a blessing in disguise because I think having bad teeth back in medieval times could literally kill you.

>>140143949
You would have to find the plants first. How the hell are you going to do that?

>>140144535
Probably a horny farmer who watched a wild cow feeding her young and then thought, I want to suck some cow tits, too.

I don't think even pasteurization existed back then so they drank raw milk.

>>140144586
Japanese high schoolers should keep a few seeds in their wallets in case they get teleported to another world.

How do you get involved in gold trade at all? How do you even make fake gold?

Back in IX-X century many of Novgorod Republic commoners/peasantry were literate. The excavation sites uncovered that old streets were littered with notes made on birch bark and many of them were authored by lowlifes with CYKA BLYAD content.
Personally, I liked 'еби лежа' advice, which translates to 'fuck lying', meaning do things like everyone do.

>>140144415
In the days world, things are legitimatly shipped from China to some factory to be refined, then shipped to countries for further refinement or use, and then sold to customers.
All the products you can buy are most likely super exotic imports, which has been over half the world.


On the top of that, industrial research has massively increased yields. Crop rotation is one thing. Artificial waste to increase growths, and tools allowing entire landscapes to be farmed.

TNT and all its successors has granted a massive increase in all forms of mining. Various searching methods including gigantic magnets allows to remove trial and error mining.

Even in things like livestock farming, increased sanitation and automation has removed a lot of costs.

A even better example is paint. White paint used to be extremely expensive, and red paint extremely cheap. Because red paint is made directly from rust. You know how all those old houses are painted white? Thats because back then, paint was super expensive.

>>140144565

Humans metabolize a lot of vitamins into other vitamins via sunlight.

Everyone in this thread is thinking too hard.

If I was a NEET sent to a fantasy world, the first thing I would do is become the fantasy world's first ever pop star and plagiarize anime songs and mainstream songs from Earth as my own songs and make mad money from playing and singing songs from Earth.

Shit like the Happy Birthday Song would make me mad cash in the fantasy world.

People in a fantasy/medieval world are unlikely to appreciate modern music. Also there is no way for you to copyright your music so you'll just be another traveling minstrel. Perhaps among the minstrels you may be recognized as the originator of some interesting music.

If you were a decent sketch artist with a good grasp of light and perspective you would either make bank or get burned as a witch.

>>140144494
Yo what. Commoners knew how to make all of those from milk? How did they manage to learn that if everyone never left their town? How do they even eat these things if they can make it. Plain by itself? It's not like they know cooking recipes too, do they?

Shipbuilding would probably be pretty easy, there a lot of things they wouldn't have that you would know about.

Have none of you retards ever heard of a butter churn? Even the fucking Amish have them.

How do you get your hands on any of these materials

This thread proves that we should all take notes from NGNL: Everyone should have multiple tablet and smart-phone devices, and multiple solar-powered chargers. Each device should have a comprehensive encyclopedia downloaded, with detailed information on how to create anything that would be useful if you were transported to another world.

Just be sure to always keep these devices on you in the event of a summoning.
If you're reincarnated though, you're shit out of luck.

>>140146807

I'm pretty sure lye has been used for cleaning for years, they probably put it in some oil after they saw it went a bit solid.

Well, it depends on how you market it. If they don't exist in the setting, you can easily sell it to some superstitious twat saying in was designed to "ward off bad spirits" or "bring great fortune" to anyone that has it on them, then charge a ridiculous price for each individual marble.

Basically do what the MC did with his cellphone, only more like a snake-oil salesman.

>>140147737

are you stupid.

Are in the minority.

In any event, depending on the exact fantasy nature of the world, the availability of magic may make certain pieces of technology more or less easy to implement, significant, or popular.

That being said, I'd go with the printing press; it's harder to make it explode, the profit ratio would be better (at least until you saturate the market or someone else figures out what I'm doing), and it might cause social destabilization that could create new opportunities to leverage and expand my wealth and power

Making template for parabola is trivial and so is earthen/alebaster/lime+sand master template for paraboloid.
Silver mirror reaction is as simple as dissolving silver oxide in ammonia and then adding inverted sugar (so glucose is separated from fructose). There is tons of chemical reactions that produce ammonia.
You just laminate veneer or just paper of rags on the mold then add wood framing.
The tricky part is to find suitable varnish with high surface tension that will provide glass-smooth surface.

>>140147962
Actually the basic glass marbles that are so common nowadays would pretty much be miracle quality goods back then. The kind of clarity that modern glass marbles have is something that wasn't possible until venician artisans cracked it sometime in the 16th century. It'd be worth roughly the same amount as high quality jewellery to a medieval society.

I watched some time ago that they took advantage of twilight as you were walking home they would use a vine rope to make you fall and then they would beat you up mercilessly and then steal all your daily proffits and leftover merchandise.

>>140148979
So all you need is a laboratory and a supplier that knows what the fuck you're talking about? Then you need to be in a country that's hot enough for the oven to actually be effective and a city that has people rich enough to buy something that took materials from everywhere and hundreds of man hours to make.

Seems like a really inefficient use of time, effort, and money.

>>140147732
It really depends on how good their law system is. Take fantasy Australia for example. In the web novel for Konosuba, Aqua was arrested for trying to set up a pyramid scheme. Kazuma was forced to bail her out which lead to an increase in his debts.

First of all, 20 holy coins are fuckton of money.
Like 2000 gold coins.
Second, you don't need sophisticated "machinery" to start the early printing press.
The concept behind printing press is as simple as blocks of carved wood stamping ink. Even the ancient Chinese printing is far more advanced than none.

In fact, crafting wood blocks carved with each alphabet is already enough to start printing books.

These are roads in Pompeii, with the large raised blocks as stepping stones for when the roads would flood.

Roads aren't fucking space age technology, you can still ride a bike on a cobblestone road.

>>140149985
I guess that's why modern roads in Europe are over Roman ones.

Mages. They fucking spoil every lucrative business.
Like selling medicine and heroine, fixing broken bones, doing blood transfusions.

Prevent the industrial revolution at all cost.

could be a good anime premise

Storytelling is the obvious choice for an otherwise talentless neet. Just regurgitate all the anime you been consuming and you would at least get a warm meal.

>>140150064
The industrial revolution really did ruin everything. It's disappointing. I'll have to do my best at figuring out how to stop it despite having a life span of human years.

>>140149992
Not to mention, Romans had concrete a thousand years before it was "rediscovered".

Really fucking good concrete too, we still have buildings made out of them standing today, two thousand years later.

>>get robbed that same night
Because crime doesn't exist now clearly.

It also wasn't illegal to booby trap your home back then though. Unlike now where are robber can break into your house, injure themself, and then sue you.

>>140149785
>you think people had roads back then?
are you fucking retarded?

This, becoming a bard could be good, you get to travel and if non-ugly fuck some guy's wife and shit.

Why did the Romans fall again? Someone should save them if they get transported with Romans.

It takes a lot of brainwashing and super secret banking to make anyone think this is a good idea.

>tfw we are facing the same issues today

>>140149923
This.

It's painfully clear from this thread that people don't understand the evolution of technology.

No one is going to start with an modern day 7million sheets per minute press. They probably won't even start with the first printing press. They'll start with letter blocks, they might even stick the letter blocks together into word blocks.

The real problem is illiteracy.

>>140150415
Mudslimes and southern baptists today are basically the Christians back then
If we don't watch ourselves with religious zealots, we're gonna have another dark age upon us.

Bards survive on charity. They are nothing like modern day artists that summon up the lawyers if you partake of their performance without paying.

>>140150415
History repeats itself.

As a species we have a very bad memory.

>>140150257
Roman water pipes were pretty bad and contained lead and mercury.

Basically, advanced water technology screwed over Romans because they used the wrong material for the pipes. The technology was sound and wise but the concept of dangerous metals didn't exist in their heads back then.

Also, the Romans had a streak of bad emperors in a row who made bad decisions.

>>140150677
Actually there's some evidence to suggest that they were aware of the problem on some level, just like a lot of early civilizations figured out mercury was toxic from mining cinnabar. There simply were no viable alternatives to lead at the time, so they carried on using them.

>>140150677
The lead pipes weren't enough to have any meaningful effects though.

>Industrial revolution was possible because a insane load of shit piled up towards it.

the industrial revolution happened because the tiny island of britian suddenly found itself in control of half the world and didnt have enough people to effectively use the resources they had acquired which is the exact same reason the ancient world didnt industrialize. Things like sanitation and better understanding of chemistry came after the industrial era, not because of it.


ancient fantasy worlds tend to have low populations due to the ever present danger of monsters and magic. such a setting would be excellent for industrialization.

>>140150812
>wanting to ruin the world with industrialization
Stoppu!

>>140150170
>looks up Roman concrete on wiki
>They were more durable than concrete we use today

what the fuck?

There really isn't anything I could do that would make me better in fantasy land than now. My knowledge is worthless there.

I would probably just scam a few losers just like the MC is doing in the anime but that's it. I would probably learn a lot from the people there than them from me.

>>140150881
Kind of like damascus steel. Sometimes people chance upon shit that just works really well.

>>140150919
They would learn a lot from you too, like your behaviors. It's a good thing both ways.

>>140150881
Roman concrete was made out of dryed up lava. They lived in a highly volcanic area back then in the golden age.

>>140150924
damascus steel is a meme though, like katanas

>>140150975
>dryed up lava
>used for the mainstream
This is some fantasy shit.

>>140150975
So it's not that we can't replicate the technology, it's just not cost effective. Makes sense.

>>140151008
>it's a meme because modern technology and modern materials are better

Open up a Vitamin Store in the Fantasy World.

Make mad cash selling my Vitamin C to the Navy so no sailor gets scurvy.

>>140151014
>Recently, it has been found that it materially differs in several ways to modern Portland cement. It is widely acknowledged that Roman concrete is the most durable type of cement of its kind due to its use of volcanic ash.

>>140151008
No it wasn't. It was genuinely better than any other type of steel made during that time period. It's just not better than modern day steel.

>>140151039
How in the Nine hells are you going to get access to vitamin C?

>>140151014

Convince the church that such technology is the herald of doom, and that their god showed you visions of what happened on other worlds.

>>140151021
That's pretty much it. We CAN create concrete that will last for eons, but it wouldn't really be cost effective, in a consumer society that functions based on disposable resources.

>>140151122
I imagine he just means selling dried fruits. Or using them as ingredients for preserved foods that needs to be hydrated before consumption.
Vitamin C by itself is insanely hard to extract and store, as they are easily oxidized.

step 1: buy shit tons of oranges
step 2: cut em into little slices and sun dry them
step 3: take out seeds and grind peel + fruit
step 4: ???
step 5: sell powdered pic related

>>140151493
>well lets make our buildings out of dispoable stuff as well
Well, it makes sense. If you make a building out of really strong material that won't need much maintenance for years, you have suddenly put yourself out of a job.
Also, I imagine it also makes maintenance (when it does need to happen) more expensive.

>>140151711
I get the logic, but it still feels so wrong when our buildings today fall apart in less than a century yet amazing shit like the Pantheon is still standing strong two thousand years later.

>>140151583
No, bad idea. Terrible idea. The medieval church was a powerful institution crammed with educated scholars that sat around "interpreting" the fuck of the bible. Some mongoloid looking pleb lunatic would almost certainly be laughed at and excommunicated like many other heretic like him before.
