The progression seems a good one. Charlie and the others are not elves, but they are learning at a considerable rate. Once you know a mountain can be moved, it just becomes a matter of figuring out how to do it.
It goes a long way to know that something is possible before you try it. Having Keerby and Max have Hernacki friends paved the way nicely for this encounter. It seemed time that Charlie and the gang could start stepping up to the level of some of the elves.
Charlie and the guys admire simplicity in a solution. One thing Charlie can usually be depended upon to do is to recognize the best path towards meeting a goal that will not get them all fried or lost someplace forever.
The last chapter may prove to be the most difficult one yet.
And there is some small possibility that a chapter 10 will not be enough to complete this tale, too.
I have a technical education, and I'm good at research. There is certainly a bit of bullshit in the facts here, but that's because there are too many gray areas where I simply had to improvise.
I can't let the fact that I am not a physicist mess up a fun story, can I? 😁
That's true. Conceptualizing such events as hyperspheres seems rather easy to mathematicians, but then proving the concept can be an extraordinary amount of work. Even Einstein said that many of his notions first came to him in the form of simple ideas in words and pictures, but that laying them out mathematically was the the real work.
Yeah. I really hate to get too technical in these tales, but sometimes it's required. I tried to lessen the impact of all that after this chapter. Makes my own head a little wobbly.
The ship seemed an appropriate addition to their needs. Being one leg up on other races in the technical realm will surely make for some interesting adventures ahead.
