About This Novel

An experimental accident awakened Lin Yan, a graduate student in materials engineering, during the Wanli period. He thought he came with knowledge of the entire industrial age. He soon discovered that all he had brought with him were memories. The alkalinity of plant ash is unstable, the carbon content of molten iron is out of control, pottery explodes due to heat, and the dimensional error is often three millimeters. There are no standards, no precision, and no reliable materials. Any formula must be verified from scratch here. The first boiler test blew up the workshop. The first firearm improvements failed on the battlefield. The first mass production crashed due to errors. He gradually understood-- The real problem is not the technology, but the foundation. Without unified weights and measures, there would be no precision machining. Without stabilizing materials, there would be no powered machinery. Without institutional protection, technology will only become a tool of power. When his workshop began to achieve repeatable production, when the inefficient steam device made a steady reciprocating sound for the first time, capital focused on profits, the army focused on weapons, and the court focused on people's hearts. Caught in the cracks of the feudal order, can he establish a system that is truly an "engineering"? This is a story about industry from 1 to 100. It is also a story about whether history is allowed to be changed.
