A new book is out! Welcome to read my work on Tomato Novel. I hope you’ll enjoy it. Li Xingruan, a military technology expert, transmigrates to the late Ming Dynasty. Using black-powder technology, he defies fate, but cannot stop the empire from falling. After faking his death and fleeing south to Borneo, he advances black-powder techniques into steam power, builds Huaxing Fort, casts rifled cannons, and constructs paddle-wheel ships, taking on the Dutch fleet and the Qing expeditionary army. In his later years, he publishes A Comprehensive Treatise on Practical Knowledge, sparking an oil revolution and building a telegraph network, rekindling the flame of civilization from the black-powder age in the steam era. This is an epic tale of survival, where Chinese ingenuity is forged in steel and fire.
