In the twelfth year of the Qin Dynasty, floods in the Yellow River raged and the people were displaced. Su Mo, a time traveler from the future, holding a bronze compass that can locate the water veins of the Yellow River, stepped into the Warring States era where technology and mysterious doctrines were intertwined.
The "Dragon Locking Pile" was called a project to "destroy the dragon's veins" by the conservative aristocrats, but it was actually an ancient miracle that combined water conservancy, astronomy and military. Su Mo must deal with Ying Zheng's coercion, Li Si's machinations, Zhao Gao's plot and Gongsun Yi's witchcraft conspiracy.
When the heavy rain poured down and the Yellow River was about to burst its banks, Su Mo climbed on the base of the dragon lock pile, holding a bronze compass in his hand, facing a life and death decision: Should he dedicate his art to the emperor, or let it become the salvation of the common people?
This is not only a battle for water control, but also an awakening of civilization. When the bronze gears mesh, when the stars and hydrology resonate, and when the Mohist spirit of "universal love" collides with the iron-blooded system of the Qin Dynasty, history will witness an eternal proposition about technological ethics.
"Technology should be used by the common people, not the private weapon of the emperor."
——When ancient mechanism skills meet modern scientific thinking, when Mohist ideals meet the iron blood of the Qin Dynasty, a shocking game about the survival of civilization begins.
