A few days ago, a netizen “もへもへ” announced on Twitter that he would not like different world-themed works because the different worlds in such works are “the typical fantasy world of swords and magic” and lack originality. He is even more powerful. “Overseas fantasy writers will consider it.” Since there are many monsters in the world that can fly in the sky, the human side must also develop air-to-air tactics. The construction method of the city walls will certainly be different. What is missing from different world works is this perspective.” .

“Become a novelist” website now has nearly 100,000 different world-themed novels, which are not enough. One of the shortcomings of reading is less than one in ten, and there is no ability to emulate this netizen. The work is determined by such a large subject. .

But the bigger the tone and the stronger the emotion, the easier it is to spread on social networks. The tweet “もへもへ” has been tens of thousands of times on Twitter. .

The netizen writer smiled and issued a question: in a different world where a large lizard with a length of more than ten meters flies in the sky, humans have the ability to use iron to kill the lizard, and the magician can move instantly, the wall is how is it like? Which one can write convincing power? .

This question has sparked interest from many fantasy writers. .

The old-fashioned fantasy novel Mizuno thinks of an underground fortress with a magical enchantment. But he thinks again, in most fantasy works, the dragons are set to very rare creatures, such a rare dragon to attack humans, human beings can only be used as natural disasters. Similarly, there are very few magicians who can move instantly. Therefore, the walls are built with the enemy forces in common sense as imaginary enemies. With such a wall built, it’s good to take pictures and send friends. .

Mizuno said that when designing a fantasy world, it may be best to determine the approximate scope of “what can be achieved” and “what can’t be achieved.” If the “magic warrior can teleport to open the unparalleled”, then “the telescope can be teleported to open the unparalleled magical warrior to rule the country”, and the final conclusion is that “the form of war is the monotony of the magic warrior.” .

The light novelist Zhou Tenglian also said that if you think deeply, if a dragon attacks people in a world with a high frequency to design a special wall to correspond to them, then the race of mankind cannot develop at all. Conversely, if human beings develop in such a world, it must have the corresponding power. .

As such, the question at the beginning may not be true at all. .

But it’s too boring to end. Therefore, the writers turned a blind eye to this answer and opened their minds. .

The light novelist A Lizhen is a military house deep into the bone marrow. The first reaction is anti-aircraft (magic) and machine gun (magic). However, カルロ・ゼン has already played this set in the work. As for the momentary movement… just use what enchantment magic to stop it. .

Anli Expo Group (light novel), I soon thought of Saeki Yusuke, “I used to be a brave man now is a 骷髅” Volume 2 and Uchida Hiroki “Military JK sister! Brothers and sisters who have been involved in wars in different worlds rely on military knowledge to open unparalleled. These two works have different ways to design different dragon tactics, which are very good-looking (no vocabulary feelings). .

If it is a ground battle, there is a dragon VS chariot in another work of Uchida Hiroshi’s “Fighting Hunter Fantasia” (the sword is mounted on the cannon of the tank gun, and it is really rekindled.) ). But the chariot can’t use the elevation angle, it can’t be empty, it is also a problem. .

Anri believes that in the siege war, the Greek fire is the romance of the defending city. If a Greek fire is launched into the air with something like a ripper, it may hurt the dragon.

If it doesn’t work, you can also let the Nazi zombies ride the flying sharks to meet them (say good fantasy). .

.

This article is probably in the spoof movie “Zombie Shark”, which forcibly put together the elements of the B-level film, such as Nazi conspiracy theories, zombies, and sharks, and is a masterpiece of B-level films. .

Teacher A Li, you still concentrate on writing overhead sci-fi battles, don’t come to the magical drowning. Thank you. .

Kawakami believes that in a world with different races, the height of the wall no longer only needs to match the height of the person. For example, the height of the wall that can make people’s races “cannot see inside” and the walls that “can’t jump” will be very different. Therefore, the opposite is true, based on the European wind-loop collection houses without walls, it is safer to set. The same is true for the walls of different worlds that do not target the dragon. .

According to Kawakami’s observations, although there are safe methods in different world works, the process level, political and economic system, landscape, etc. are selected from the “common correct answers”, but at the same time, the settings are beyond the common The works of the “correct answer” range have also increased. That is to say, more and more works need to be set up on the “expansion plugin”. .

Originally, the advantage of the different world system was that the setting mode was unified to a certain extent, so that a large-scale world could be launched with a low burden. Therefore, it is very hard to jump out of this mode and build settings from scratch. Because the existing models have already collected certain components, you have to re-verify and modify all of them. Therefore, few people will make such in-depth modifications. .

However, Kawakami believes that there may be similar works in the future like “Different World 2.0”. The ideological foundation of these works is still a common alien world model, but it is completely constructed with elements other than the existing model. In turn, there will be more lightweight, more simplified works. .

Kawakami also said that there are two ways of thinking when conceiving settings and stories:

.
1. How can I make “this” appear? .

.

2. What happens if you have “this”? .

If you use the latter way of thinking, then the text will be extended indefinitely, making the author forced to stop the test at some stage. However, if the author feels that “has thought of this step, you can feel at ease”, then there will often be contradictions later. In particular, the type of work that is common to many items is more likely to occur. .

After a long series of arguments, Kawakami also released his own imagination, envisioning a different world war with dragons. .

Kawakami believes that if the dragon is added to the tactics, because the cost of raising the dragon (especially food) is too high, it will be the result of the best choice. Therefore, he remembers that some people set the dragon to be a self-sufficient squadron of the Tiantian family, or a mercenary like France or other countries, or set a part of the food that is not based on matter to adjust the balance. .

In addition, because the dragon himself has intelligence, the command is also a problem. .

If you add a difference, even if it is a dragon, different countries will use different methods in war; or the dragon will have a different race. In this way, differences in different forces or class differences can be more easily reflected. .

The idea of using a dragon as a biological weapon is interesting, but there is a problem with its implementability. .

Anriアサト is worried: even if the dragon is added to the tactics, and the method of binding the dragon is designed, the dragon’s reproductive ability and training cost are also problems. The dragon has a long life and the baby dragon period must be very long. If the dragon still eats meat, it will cost more money than the military horse. .

Netizen writers are eager to count, and for every kilogram of animal weight, 10 kilograms of feed is needed. Then, for every kilogram of weight of the dragon, you need to eat 10 kilograms of pork. It takes 100 kilograms of food to raise the pig. If the development of civilization in different worlds is the level of the Middle Ages, the burden is too heavy. .

The light novel writer Nagata Shinsuke saw the discussion of the people and raised doubts about the practical value of raising the dragon. But he thought about it, and suddenly there was a flash of light: he could keep Goblin, which has strong endurance and reproductive ability, and feed the dragon. In the country where the dragon is cultivated, the Goblin farm will be established…

This annihilation of human thoughts has made other writers unwilling to go down the drain. .

And Chuan Shangyu’s thoughtful result is: Dragon as a creature, there is a problem. So large animals, so much exercise, can also spit a variety of dragons, only one heart in the circulatory system is certainly not enough. Considering the transmission speed of the nervous system in the huge body, it is estimated that all parts of the body need an organ equivalent to the cerebellum. It is great that the ancients could come up with such a unified weakness as the scales. .

Considering the transmission speed of the nerve, if a dragon wants to go, this signal will reach the foot and it will take a few seconds. This problem can not be solved, if the dragon’s reaction speed is so slow, the famous doctor may cure the injury without waiting for the dragon to feel pain. This is not bad. .

In addition, as a research method, with the development of the times, the dragon’s breath and flight protection will be scientifically analyzed, and there will be a technique based on this theory. Therefore, it is less costly to develop a “cannon that can shoot a dragon’s breath” than a dragon with practical fuel and power consumption problems. Perhaps there will be such weapons before the industrial revolution. .

Even in the era described in the works, such weapons have not yet been implemented, but their subsequent and derived technological achievements will also contribute to future technological development. Therefore, when conceiving the setting, you must not give up thinking, you can’t think that “this is impossible, so there will be no.” It’s not very interesting to think about technical spectroscopy and derived graphs that have been extended. .
