I, the Chongzhen Emperor, Launch an Industrial Ming Dynasty

Qin Fei, a dual PhD in materials science and aerodynamics, suffers an accident during an experiment and transmigrates into Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian, who has just ascended the throne.

The entire court cries out for the eunuch faction to be purged and Wei Zhongxian to be executed. Looking down at them from his throne, he says coolly, "If I kill him, who will keep an eye on you empty talkers who are ruining the country?"

The Eight Banners cavalry sweep across the land? Then let rifled guns and cannons teach them what a dimensional strike looks like. Bandits are wreaking havoc across the Central Plains? Perfect. They'll serve as whetstones for the new army, and one decisive battle will settle the Central Plains.

When steam machinery roars across the territory of the Great Ming, when mighty ships and cannons patrol the world's oceans, and when the Western nations kneel before the Celestial Empire, the world will finally understand: this unconventional emperor has already led the Great Ming out of its doomed fate of suicide at Coal Hill and toward an unparalleled golden age on which the sun never sets.

I, Zhu Youjian, will purge the court with an iron fist, strengthen the nation through technology, and settle the world with guns and cannons. From now on, this realm answers to me.
