The Industrial Revolution of the Song Dynasty: Starting from Bianjing

Shen Tuo, a graduate student in materials science, traveled back in time to the Xuanhe period of the Song Dynasty with a head full of industrial data, and became a blacksmith apprentice who was about to starve to death. This year, Huizong was still obsessed with calligraphy and painting on strange rocks, and the cavalry of the Kingdom of Jin was already on the border. While others travel through time and copy poems to pick up girls, Shen Tuo only believes in one thing: productivity determines everything. Does the old blacksmith control the temperature based on experience? He built a simple blast furnace, used alkaline refractory materials to desulfurize and dephosphorize, and produced refined steel that was far ahead of its time. When the Yellow River bursts, all civil and military officials in the dynasty will only pray to gods and worship Buddha? He presented the iron mold casting method and used fluid mechanics to convince the Ministry of Industry, and became famous in Bianjing overnight. The imperial court wanted to strengthen the army, so he developed assembly-line ordnance with interchangeable parts; the Jin people wanted to invade the south, so he improved granular black powder, doubling its power. From a shabby blacksmith shop to the first industrial oligarch of the Song Dynasty who monopolized the military industry. Shen Tuo only wanted to engage in industry, but when his Gewu Institute trained the first batch of local engineers, when his blast furnaces blossomed all over Hebei, the wheel of history had been twisted by his own hands - The day when the golden cavalry went south was the time when industrial civilization was struck by its dimensionality reduction.
