I Built a Seismograph, and the Experts Tore Into Me

Jiang Chen unexpectedly transmigrates to a parallel world and becomes an eight-year-old boy.

To his surprise, he activates the Divine Craftsman System. As long as he recreates genuine tools and technologies from Chinese history and convinces people they’re authentic, he can earn rewards.

From the start, Jiang Chen builds a real seismoscope capable of predicting earthquakes and exhibits it at the children’s palace. But an accident occurs: the device indicates that an earthquake is coming. Eight-year-old Jiang Chen begs to alert the authorities and reduce casualties.

Instead, experts angrily lecture him, insisting that the seismoscope could not possibly predict earthquakes and that the historical accounts were just misinformation.

But that very night, an earthquake strikes!

The Wooden Ox and Gliding Horse, Zhuge’s Repeating Crossbow, the armillary sphere, the wooden kite: one after another, Chinese marvels are brought to life by Jiang Chen!

A year later: “God Jiang, please stop making things! Now you need to register just to buy wood!”
