In the ninth year of Chongzhen, the country of the Ming Dynasty collapsed, plague and bandits spread, and the land was red for thousands of miles. Historian Lin Jingyu traveled through time and saw that the bright sprouts of Chinese civilization were about to be wiped out in the flames of war, turning into the beginning of a century of humiliation for later generations - this is the "Ming Dynasty's Lost Dream".
Unwilling to sink, he used modern knowledge as fuel to ignite the fire of civilization in Qifeng Valley. The "three isolations" were implemented to control the spring epidemic, the "quyu plow" was created to reclaim wasteland, and the "keel cart" was built to irrigate the fertile soil, making the cottage barns abundant; the firearms were also improved with "paper shell fixed-loading ammunition", which fired three rounds in ten seconds, frightening the left soldiers.
What Lin Jingyu wants is not to support the building before it collapses, but to open up a new path on top of the ruins based on "equal distribution and common resistance" and scientific and technological enlightenment as a sword. He knows very well that only by letting this fire start a prairie fire and illuminate the world can we end the "lost dream" and reshape the trajectory of civilization.
From the mountains of western Henan to the Forbidden Palace, from the waves of the Yangtze River to the other side of the ocean, an expedition that begins with an elegy has begun. Reshape mountains and rivers, conquer Fusang, conquer the Western Regions, gallop across Central Asia, watch troops on the Ganges River, follow the path of Genghis Khan and step into the Western world! When Eastern wisdom blends with modern rationality, a new era for all mankind is being born.
This is a soulful echo of "what could have been", an ultimate rewriting of the destiny of civilization.
