The Notorious Misadventures of an Alchemist and a Phoenix, Chapter 7.5

God notes: Technology

Now is the time to talk about technology and the issues it brought. Noah had taken advantage of the wonderful ideas that the transported people from Earth had. But he wasn't the only one. The gadgets and ideas of Earth had spread, however, not all ideas were equal.

Guns were an excellent example of a useful tool on earth while being almost completely wasted here. It all came down to the bullet with its chemical explosion to propel a piece of metal at high speeds to damage its target. But when everyone had multiple classes that could bend and twist logical outcomes, the gun was weak.

A person who had multiple classes as a warrior, monk and wrestler at the intermediate tier could quite literally tank the shot and only be left with a bruise. Those that preferred Agility had tricks to keep out of the way and those that dabbled in magic had walls of kinetic Force that sprung up deflecting the shot.

It took too much time to make the specialized tools that made the gun and weren't useful for hunting big monsters. But worst of all was that it didn't take advantage of stats. The bullet's power came from the chemical reaction, and yet the sword in the hands of a well-seasoned warrior could complement the cutting power with the agility stat and strength stat. People only use guns as practical jokes now.

If you want to talk about a successful invention then you don't have to go any further than the beloved bike. All the races loved it, from the dwarfs and their armoured three-wheeler trikes that pulled extensive large wagon trains, to the elves and their light mountain bikes that could be spotted jumping over hills at high speeds.

Bikes had taken over. Horses, who were the main transporters were now out of a job as a single person could pull whatever they wanted without feeding and looking after a tired horse.

Why weren't cars, trains and aeroplanes used? The answer was Bikes take advantage of the individual's stats and for the long distance you could pay a fee to teleport through a bridge gate. Necessity is the mother of invention and when you can travel as fast as a car with a bike or teleport, why would you invent a metal box that flew in the sky?
