Default Re: Alternate history transport

Possibly give some very early Chinese alchemists an idea for crappy gunpowder. It's a forceful bang, but it's not even remotely space efficient and it's not very predictable.

It IS acceptable as a mining explosive for making canalbeds, though.

Let that stuff get exported and traded around about 100 BCE, and add a heavy dose of inertia to keep history on track, and there you go.
