During archeology in the South China Sea, military engineer Shen Mo was swept into the bloody sea before the Yashan Sea Battle in 1279 by a mysterious storm. Two hundred thousand soldiers and civilians of the Southern Song Dynasty were trapped in the swaying "floating city" on the sea. The Yuan army was crossing the river with iron ropes. Hurricanes and fire attacks were ready to go off. Lu Xiufu was ready to carry the infant emperor across the sea to die for his country.
Shen Mo carried a "civilization fire bank" that was running low on battery power, and relied on modern military industry knowledge to set off a technological craze among the ship arrays where corpses were floating. He used urine scale to purify saltpeter to improve black gunpowder, dismantled dragon boats to build triangular schooner clippers, and even enlightened the 7-year-old emperor Zhao Bing with geometry. When he drove the sailing ironclad "Nirvana" reinforced with iron sheets from sunken ships and tried to rewrite history, he found that the technological guidance of the electronic screen was gradually extinguishing, and there was a deadly conspiracy of Venetian technicians hidden behind the Yuan army.
Is it to guard the last imperial boat with Wen Tianxiang and achieve a tragic epic? Or take three thousand craftsmen and hundreds of books with you and escape into the unknown ocean through the eye of the storm? In the game between technology and faith, survival and dignity, Shen Mo will use gears and drawings to open a crack in the despair of history for the survival of civilization.
