[Literary realism] [No System] [No dumbed-down characters] [Technical farming] After transmigrating to the end of the Han dynasty, he becomes Gongsun Zan’s only son, Gongsun Xu, the “White Horse General.” Knowing history, he is desperate: his father is stubborn and arrogant, Yuan Shao is sharpening his knives, and the whole family has only ten years left before their tragic end in the fire at Yijing Tower.
Seeing the poorly equipped White Horse Volunteers on the training ground, and the young Zhao Yun gathering dust in a corner, Gongsun Xu, a mechanical engineering graduate, grits his teeth and makes a decision. Save his father? No, save himself!
“Father, times have changed! This thing is called a stirrup, and that’s a pulley system!” “Uncle Xuande, your benevolence and righteousness can’t save the Han, but my physics can.”
Starting from a blacksmith’s shop on the borders of Youzhou, he smelts steel, makes crossbows, and upgrades horse tack. In this life, he will use an iron tide to tell the warlords of the land:
In the face of an absolute industrial advantage, your strategies are nothing but a joke.
The writing is pretty good, but I gave up decisively when thermal weapons appeared in the Three Kingdoms. Two stars is already too much.
