The collision of scientific and technological civilization and ancient wisdom re-constructs the pattern of the Warring States Period through the perspective of modern engineering students, and explores the driving force and ethical boundaries of technological innovation on social change.
Main characters
Lin Mo (Ph. D. Student in modern engineering/traveler): Rationality and idealism coexist. He is good at using engineering thinking to deconstruct complex problems. He traveled through time with 3D printing equipment due to a laboratory accident. He firmly believes that technology can accelerate the process of civilization but gradually falls into a dispute over ideas.
World view setting
Based on the real history of the Warring States period and superimposed technological time-travel elements: 1) There is a technological difference between the Holy Family's mechanism and 3D printing, but the concepts are similar; 2) The theories of various schools of thought can be formulated into operational models; 3) Bronze inscriptions have an information storage function similar to QR codes; 4)
There are multiple time and space travelers forming a closed-loop causal chain.
Story summary
Lin Mo, an engineering student, traveled through the Warring States Period with 3D printing equipment, and his "rapid prototyping" technology triggered an earthquake in the minds of hundreds of scholars. From the improvement of the Mohist art to the academic debate downstairs, from the dedication of Xianyang dialect technology to the discovery of the conspiracy of the time traveler, and finally in the historical event of "Casting Twelve Golden Men", a printer was used to cast a "backup pillar of civilization that carries the thoughts of the philosophers, and the survival of technology is used to fight against the alienation of power."
