Though before then there would be a lot more slings, ice tools, and other manipulations of materials that would be easy and constant on avalon that are rare on earth, without temperature being really hot compared. Even mercury(element) would be absolutely useless, impossible to forge or shape at all on avalon.(07-07-2016, 06:52 PM)Lost Rinoah Wrote: in cold environments like avalon explosives cannot actually go off, as you can't even spark the detonations. 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.

The only thing that wouldn't be effected there really would be salt. Being the material with the highest thermal resistance going both ways, it would be a primary insulator material as it would be EXTREMELY common there due to temperature and what reactions are even allowed to occurr. The abrasiveness of the salt would not be brought into the picture at such low temperatures where it cannot melt ice. And being based on the chemicals they are, would not have the ill effect on them it has on us of dehydration. Nor would it be required for their bodies, or effect them at all.
Because being a soldier in the war just magically makes you counted as being a supporter of your government and the social party that runs it, and not, you know, someone who just wants to protect their family from getting sent to a labor camp if they didn't join the military.
