Watching Short Videos Across the Ages, the Ancestors Beg Me to Take Them Along

The short videos Su Mu scrolls through unexpectedly become a "sky screen" for people of the past.

Things modern people take for granted look like miracles to the ancients!

A video of a modern buffet leaves countless nobles and ministers drooling. Kangxi looks at the Manchu-Han Imperial Feast and suddenly finds it dull.

A video of China's infrastructure-building mania shows buildings rising a floor every three days and bridges spanning the sea. Lu Ban tosses aside his ink line and begs for the blueprints.

Videos demystify science, reveal the truth behind "ghost fire," and debunk the tricks of con artists posing as alchemists.

Xu Fu trembles as he watches the sky screen, while Emperor Wu of Han suddenly understands: "So immortality is a lie. A strong nation is what really matters!"

There are even practical tutorials on making penicillin, smelting steel in blast furnaces, and cultivating superior crops.

From then on, the Qin Dynasty begins to industrialize, the Tang Dynasty forms an ocean-going fleet, and the Ming Dynasty upgrades its muskets into Gatling guns.

The ancients cry out, "Immortal Su, play another video! We want to learn how to build airplanes!"
