Troubled times are coming, and the Han and Huns are fighting fiercely;
The eighth-level fitter brought the "Cornerstone System of Civilization" to the Yuanshou period.
He originally wanted to sell the gun to survive, but in the roar of the anvil, he heard the heartbeat of the empire.
From an armor-piercing three-edged arrow to the atomic bomb roaring in the sky;
From the blast furnaces of humble craftsmen to the steam iron dragons that traverse the desert;
From the first snowfall on Tongque Terrace to the ultimate white light when Qilian Mountain turns into a sea of glass——
He used steel to rewrite war, and used steam to crush imperial power.
But at the end of the civilized rush, he shut down the system with his own hands,
Give the future to mankind and leave loneliness to yourself. Here are:
· Hard-core military industry: standardized arrowheads, flintlock guns, rifled cannons, steam tanks, atomic bombs, every tolerance is soaked in human blood.
· Imperial Machiavellianism: Liu Che's greed and fear, Wei Huo's glory and decline, and the collapse and reshaping of Confucianism, Mohism, and Taoism in the face of steel.
· The fate of the group of figures: the one-armed inkman, the craftsman boy, the princess of the guard, the Roman envoy, the Huns carrier... Everyone is looking for a destination in the fire and steam.
· The cost of civilization: The black smoke of coke ovens flooded Chang'an, nitroglycerin tore up the grasslands, the atomic bomb evaporated Qilian, and behind the industrial frenzy were the cries and shouts of hundreds of millions of creatures.
When the last mushroom cloud goes out,
What history remembers is not the savior;
It is the words carved by a fitter on a snowy night:
"The fire of Han Dynasty will burn forever, and mankind will redeem itself."
