From what I understand, one of the biggest difficulties in making a nuke is refining the fissile material (u-235, Plutonium, or other). No matter what material you pick, you're looking at a something that is not only extremely expensive, but also hellishly dangerous to produce. And that's for someone who knows exactly what they are doing.

2022-08-12 02:37:16 +0000 UTCThat's a fair reaction, and something I was concerned about before posting this chapter. For now I'd like to draw attention to this detail: "Significant trial and error was required, as well as supplementing gaps in material components and information with uniquely-tailored spells." They didn't succeed at making a carbon copy of a nuke. They made something different. I didn't want to overstate it in this chapter because of Rob's lack of knowledge of the situation (and pacing concerns), but the reader's first impression is important, so I'll probably modify this chapter later to make it more clear.

2022-08-09 12:32:44 +0000 UTCGREAT chapter with excellent flow of the multiple revelations and (as always) superlative writing; however, ….. having the Dwarves go from struggling with the technology of radios to creating nukes is completely unrealistic- even with the suspension of belief. I realize that my scientific background is the problem and that I’m sounding like a dick, BUT- there is no way, I mean absolutely NO fu€£ing WAY that a pseudo-medieval society could develop a nuke- even with electricity and a blueprint.Even with the step by step instructions they would have to profoundly understand the mathematics and physics, not to mention the chemistry (which is honestly the most difficult step) to even come close to pulling it off. Having them develop a daisy cutter bomb (which was the most powerful pre-nuke bomb) would be much more realistic. Though, I get it, not as much fun…

2022-08-08 17:48:52 +0000 UTCWell, that was awesome. Talk about a way to drop the bomb. Don't think I missed how Titan is clearly making it as hard to possible to reverse engineer the stuff he gives them. Premature detonation? What do you mean, nuclear bombs literally can't prematurely detonate, even if the explosives used to start the reaction went off, it would just create a very small dirty bomb with lots of radioactive material everywhere as long the safeties were on. Oh wait, Titan didn't tell them how to turn on the safeties... well shit. Kinda wish Rob told Dwarves about how humans were made of mana too.

2022-08-08 17:27:26 +0000 UTCThey talked about launching test shells into the sea so I assume they have ballistic missile tech too or at least some way to launch it

2022-08-08 16:55:49 +0000 UTCIs it a nuke or a nuke attached to a ballistic missile because those are two very different things.

2022-08-08 09:52:49 +0000 UTC……. Please please please PLEASE stop posting these at midnight before I go to bed I’m goddamn near shaking with rage and can’t sleep now
Nick
2022-08-08 08:24:58 +0000 UTCWon't fit, too heavy... But, if he can detach the warhead? Maybe, might be small enough.

2022-08-08 06:42:29 +0000 UTCI guess we just found out what the 4th bound item is going to be. The nuke bound for fiendland is going to be mightily interrupted by one VERY angry human. With teleportation and the ability to spontaneously create bound items...

2022-08-08 05:54:49 +0000 UTCSo Rob just needs to find the nuke and put the whole thing in his storage.

2022-08-08 05:23:52 +0000 UTCGod fucking damnit. Dwarves being fucking morons. It's too bad Rob can't bring his entire party with him, otherwise he could drop a crate of firebombs, light it, and TP home.

2022-08-08 05:13:38 +0000 UTCOh dang, is Rob about to bind a nuke to himself using crystal bearer?
