It's not out of the ordinary for a mech engineer to have basic understanding.Ģ. I literally know high schoolers who, just for kicks, looked up the basics of how hydrogen bombs work. He comes from modern times where you have stuff like wikipedia, google, baidu, etc.
A lot of his valuable knowledge is the methodology and processes, not the exact quantitative or even qualitative facts.Īs for some of his more esoteric knowledgeġ. Same with chemistry, he get help from alchemists (to-be-chemists) and experimented many times to get the right ratios. From the first couple hundred chapters, it doesn't sound like he knows that much more than me or most engineers i know, besides maybe the bit about cement at the beginning.
So what? A lot of guys, including myself, are gun/war nuts. The world isn't always fair, and they're not always socially inept or pay for their talents in other areas like street smarts or wits.Īlso, Roland doesn't exactly pull knowledge out of his ass. A lot of them have intellectual curiousity.
If you think a mechanical engineer is JUST good at mechanical engineering or that a physicist is only good at physics, then you don't know enough of these people. It's something in their personality that makes them more likely to want to learn new things. Not even just in science and technology but in history, religion, philosophy, etc. I'm always in awe at how much certain individuals seem to know. Intelligence and experience isn't a fair thing, the distribution is pretty skewed.
I'm an engineer and consider myself pretty average, but I know several people who are polymaths. That being said, a lot of the incredulous reviewers here questioning the MC's vast knowledge clearly don't know enough smart people IRL. I guess once we reached (or almost reached) nuclear tech, the author ran into his limit in terms of scientific and technological expertise/knowledge and tried to expand the story in another direction. It's fairly predictable, the MC rarely runs into problems, and somewhere along the line the author seemed to want to turn the story into a wuxia novel because he started running out of ideas.
