Breaking Out of the Cocoon 1638: Old Dynasty and New Flames

When Chen Mo, a modern aerospace engineer, was performing a mission on the back of the moon, a mysterious meteorite fell into Mizhi, Shaanxi Province in the eleventh year of Chongzhen. The smart bracelets and meteorite fragments he carried with him became the fulcrum for him to leverage history - when he used potato terraces to fight famine and improved the military system with flintlock guns, he discovered that every step of innovation triggered subtle tremors in time and space. In the court, he strikes at the foundation of imperial power with a list of monarchical powers; in the arena, his cooperation with Li Zicheng and the Red Lady hides the code for the evolution of civilization; there is also a mysterious nun who disappears and appears like the moon phases, involving a game of observers across dimensions. While promoting his republican ideals, he always held on to his daughter's hand-painted pendant, trying to weave a dense network of homecoming between the loess of the late Ming Dynasty and the modern starry sky. When the roar of the steam locomotive broke through the morning bells of the Forbidden City, and when the ink of the Republic's Provisional Agreement seeped into the bamboo slips of history, Chen Mo gradually discovered that he was not only the author of rewriting history, but also a chess piece in a higher-dimensional chess game - and that meteorite fragment from the back of the moon was silently recording every breath and pain of civilization in the folds of time and space.
