The bad news: I transmigrated to ancient times, became a penniless orphan, and got kicked around by street thugs!
The good news: The Industrial Revolution Manifestation System has activated! My reward from the start is a steam engine blueprint!
The corrupt scholars at court call my inventions frivolous tricks and regard me as a menace to the realm?
Little do they know my blast furnace steel output has already soared a hundredfold, and cement roads stretch for thousands of miles!
When the cannons of my steel behemoth, displacing tens of thousands of tons, take aim at the imperial city, enemy fleets will be blown to smithereens!
The icy empress looks at me with spring in her phoenix eyes and slips into my bedchamber in the dead of night:
“Su, darling, would you build me another aircraft carrier?”
