A Tech Genius from a Poor Family in the Ming Dynasty

Modern mechanical engineer Deng Xian transmigrates to the dying days of the Ming dynasty, where he becomes a poor young man on the brink of death. To protect Zhaodi, his childhood sweetheart, he uses his scientific knowledge to make gunpowder, improve looms, and invent the steam engine, rising from a refugee fleeing famine to an industrial titan. But a bloodied fingerprint on a fragment of Illustrated Treatise on Military Equipment reveals the truth behind the massacre of his family ten years ago. This revenge will use steel and fire to rewrite the fate of the Great Ming.
