I Built a Technological Empire, and Old Zhu Is Stunned

Chen Xun transmigrates to the Ming dynasty. He wants to use the knowledge from his past life to promote scientific development, but the court officials mock him. Zhu Yuanzhang eventually banishes him from the capital, making him a poor county magistrate in a backwater town.

Half a month later, an epidemic breaks out.

"Your Majesty, the miasma is out of control. The Great Ming is doomed!"

Just then, news of a victory arrives from afar.

"Chen Xun, magistrate of Shilong County, has developed artemisinin and successfully eradicated the miasma epidemic."

A few months later:

"Your Majesty, droughts across the land have reduced this year's harvest. The people have no food to eat, and may soon rebel!"

Once again, news of a victory arrives.

"Chen Xun, magistrate of Shilong County, has led numerous farmers to sell a million tons of grain to disaster victims. The famine has been averted."

Years later, Zhu Yuanzhang visits Shilong County. Seeing cars, airplanes, and towering skyscrapers on the ground, he is stunned.

"Is this... really a poor county in my Great Ming?"

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang finishes speaking, a spaceship emblazoned with the character Chen slowly glides in from outer space...
