I, Lin He, a modern agricultural student, woke up and became the lowest slave of a barbaric tribe. I didn't understand the language and was bullied. Only the kind-hearted girl Yun Tang was willing to hand me a piece of life-saving dried meat. She said there were "stars" in my eyes, but she didn't know that they were the mark of me coming from another civilization.
In order to survive, I held on to the rough stone hoe. Improving agricultural tools, opening canals to divert water, and burning fertilizers... When the first curved-wheel plow turned over the black fertile soil, and when the first furnace of molten iron reflected the faces of the tribesmen, doubts and rejections turned into awe and worship. They elected me as their leader, thinking this was the end of the miracle.
And I just started the prologue of change. Waterwheels rotate, blast furnaces roar, power grids light up the night, and sparks from steel plants shine red in the sky. I led the tribe to build roads, mines, establish regulations, and run schools, and built the barbaric land into a kingdom of steel that stood at the top of all races.
But when I stood at the pinnacle of power and looked back, the girl who first reached out to me in the dark had put on someone else's wedding dress and disappeared at the border of the tribe. I conquered the world and created the immortal heaven. However, the moment she turned around, I realized that I had already lost my only star.
This is a farming epic that uses technology to crush the wilderness, and it is also an elegy for love that has been forever missed in the process of civilization.
At this moment, I realized that I could conquer the wilderness with modern knowledge, but I had lost the only girl who could conquer my heart.
