Li Hao, a 20-year-old office worker, acquires a two-way portal to Ming China in 1641.
Rule One: Only Li Hao can pass through the portal.
Rule Two: One day in the modern world equals ten days in the Ming dynasty!
At this time, the Battle of Songshan, which will decide the fate of the dynasty, is underway. Hong Chengchou is trapped in a besieged city, Huang Taiji has committed all his forces, and the land of China lies shattered.
Can one person really make a difference?
Li Hao immediately makes a call: “Hello, National Security Bureau? I want to hand over a portal!”
Once the portal is taken over by the state, the whole of Longguo undergoes a transformation.
Since large groups can't get through, Li Hao becomes the only “human, self-propelled logistics hub”!
The High Command is ecstatic: this is a research accelerator sent by heaven.
And so, the entire timeline goes completely off the rails:
Huang Taiji's cavalry charge? They're met with precision strikes from swarms of drones.
Li Zicheng is worried about provisions? The Ming have already rolled out high-yield rice and built a complete industrial system.
A lightning strike against the Qing? That's just a warm-up!
As countries around the world begin opening rifts between planes, an international technology race gets underway.
Li Hao steps through the door. Behind him stands a superpowerful Ming dynasty, a full era ahead of the modern world. He takes out an energy core no bigger than a coin. “You're still struggling with fusion experiments? Sorry, while you were living through this past year, we spent ten years researching behind closed doors in the Ming. Now we've shrunk fusion down to the size of a silver coin. Anyone got a problem with that?”
