Great Ming: From the Start, I Present Zhu Di with an Ironclad Warship

Qin Mu transmigrates to the Ming Dynasty and becomes a minister in charge of craftsmanship at the Grand Secretariat.

Zhu Di has only recently ascended the throne and is eager to make his mark by expanding the empire's borders.

Just then, Qin Mu binds a Military Industry System and builds a hundred-meter ironclad ship from the start.

On the day the ship is launched, the court officials all say the iron vessel is sure to sink.

Zhu Di even comes in person to watch.

But once launched, the ironclad remains afloat, standing like a steel beast.

Zhu Di praises Qin Mu lavishly, promotes him to Grand General of State Manufacturing, and puts him in charge of all Ming military industry.

With the System's help, Qin Mu then builds one powerful military invention after another.

Flintlock grenades, matchlock guns, red-coat cannons, and even steam engines!

Under Qin Mu's direction, the Ming Dynasty enters the Steam Age a hundred years ahead of the West.

Expand the borders and crush the enemy with superior technology!

In the end, Zhu Di has no more titles left to bestow, so he makes Qin Mu the Equal King of the Ming Dynasty!

Qin Mu: "I don't care about titles or rewards. I just happen to like making these things."
