An ambiguous accident in the laboratory threw Lin Yan, a doctor of chemistry, into the Shura battlefield in 1937. From the warm nephrite to the smoke of war, he has nothing but a brain that is thoroughly armed with modern knowledge.
He soon discovered that his most powerful talent was not limited to the test tube, but also on the battlefield. The extreme precision and deductive instinct forged by those boring chemical formulas made him like a duck in water in the military academy, and he showed an astonishing understanding of complex military science and strategic theories. Actual combat on the front line of life and death has tempered this talent into deadly tactical wisdom.
He is not only a doctor who can improve the formula of gunpowder, but also a commander who can move from the military school classroom to the battlefield and fight for exquisite victories. The rocket-like promotion speed is forged by incredible victories. While the enemy was still deciphering the weapon fragments he left behind, he had already used a more sophisticated battlefield layout to determine their final destruction.
This is a story of the collision between modern wisdom and the age of war. It is also an epic story of a scholar who transformed into a war giant in the blood and fire.
