When Lin Yan, a boy from the Department of Physics, was swallowed by blue light during a superconducting experiment, and when he opened his eyes again, it was Zhu Luyou, the king of Jingjiang who was imprisoned in Guilin during the Wanli period.
Inside the house are moldy granaries and scheming officials, while outside the house are victims waiting for food and the court eyeing them. He had only a brain full of mathematical, physical and chemical formulas, but he could not even guarantee a full meal - until he used shoelaces to calibrate a sundial to predict a solar eclipse, used the principle of leverage to improve rice pounding tools, and used the density of salt water to expose salt tax fraud... Those laws of physics that once made him fail the exam became the sharpest sword in desperate situations.
When managing the fiefdom, he used the triangulation method to plan irrigation canals to turn dry fields into fertile soil; he relied on hydraulic forging machines to improve iron tools, so that Lingnan iron tools could be sold as far away as northern China; he used probability sampling methods to assess officials, so that corrupt people had nowhere to hide. In the court game, he used a prism to split light to shock the officials, used chemical analysis to reveal the truth about the Red Pill case, and relied on fluid mechanics calculations to win the Tongzhou Water War.
From the desolate vassal king trapped in the Dragon Shoal to the Jingnan army on the Qing emperor's side, he finally set foot in the Zichen Palace, bringing not only flintlocks and flood gates, but also a new set of logic - when the study of things and knowledge meets the imperial power of heaven, when the second law of thermodynamics meets the laws of the Ming Dynasty, this crumbling empire is sailing on an unknown course along the equations written by him.
This is a story about a science student who uses physical formulas to calculate tricks, uses chemical reagents to dissolve chronic diseases, and sees how a modern soul rewrites the underlying code for an ancient dynasty.
