In the 21st century, Chen Yan, a water conservancy engineer, mysteriously traveled through time during a heavy rain. When he woke up, he was already on the battlefield of Lujiang River in the fifth year of Jian'an. Without golden fingers and systematic blessings, he relied only on modern knowledge and vague memories of the history of the Three Kingdoms, and struggled to gain a foothold in the troubled Jiangdong that Sun Ce had just pacified. From a foreigner who was mistaken for Cao Cao's spy, to a Tuntian captain who was incorporated into the shogunate by Zhou Yu, he personally participated in the preparations for the fire attack of the Battle of Chibi, improved trebuchet technology in the attack and defense of Nanjun, explored Yizhou with Wei Wen's fleet, and struggled to survive in the political whirlpool of the Second Palace Controversy. He witnessed the change of power after Sun Ce's assassination, witnessed Zhou Yu's unfulfilled ambitions who died young, and accompanied Sun Quan as he grew from a young general to the emperor of Soochow. When the wheel of history rolled over the blood of the Battle of Hefei, the strategy of the Battle of Shiting, and the glory of establishing the capital of Wuchang, Chen Yan gradually understood that he could not change the direction of history, but he tried to use the wisdom of modern science at every critical node to seek a glimmer of happiness for the people of Jiangdong. This is an ordinary person's survival notes in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, and it is also a dialogue between civilizations that spans a thousand years. When he grows old and seals what he has learned throughout his life into bronze wine bottles, the broken pages of water conservancy projects and agricultural books scattered on the land of Jiangdong will eventually become silent witnesses of his time in this era.
