You're thinking plastic or chemical explosions now. Plastic explosives would require massive chemical research advancement beyond fire. And chemical reactions would just lose their energy faster than they produce it. The ONLY flammables that Avalon would even allow to survive would be extremes like thermite, even then, that would require an oxygen atmosphere. So. Completely ruins thoughts of human methodology of advancements.so you're saying we're more likely to find a crossbow-railgun hybrid/precursor than a flintlock/musket alikes? man we really could use Ryuujin's validation, where the hell is he anyway?
They'd only be able to start at batteries and electricity of low values and advance using combined hybrid materials, lever style tech, and superconductivity caused by the temperatures on their world. There would be no fire, no explosives. I've brought up the possibility of using frozen saline solution or tubes filled with it as the earliest wires. As metalworking would be useless at such temperatures, where you would use liquid frozen over cloth or hide that you file down to be sharp as your tools. Or flint napping. Magnetism would be an everyday life type thing from early on and the temperatures make discovery and advancement of electricity very easy and rapid.
despite being called facist/nazi, the troops still know how to have fun
