A City from the Start: Mohist Technology Saves the Tang Dynasty

After just solving a physics conjecture, Chen Mo opens his eyes and finds himself a refugee on the verge of starvation in the late Tang dynasty.

Just as he despairs, he is taken to a legendary place: the Mohist Mechanism City!

It has gears and mortise-and-tenon joints comparable to the technology of later ages, as well as fearsome war machines!

Unfortunately, these tech nerds have incredible skills but cling to the ancestral precept of "non-aggression," waiting for their own destruction.

"What? You use gears to plow fields?"

"This repeating crossbow's design could be optimized threefold!"

"Generate electricity with love? No, generate electricity with science! Watch me build a generator by hand!"

Faced with the iron hooves of the coming age of chaos, Chen Mo decides to use his knowledge of physics to completely transform this stubborn sect that has endured for a thousand years!

First, a modest goal: use Mohist technology to dominate the age!
