[Two male protagonists + imperial examination + system + rejuvenating the country through science and technology + time travel]
Chen Qi was born in the Zhaoming Dynasty and became the most despised "brother of his brother" in a poor family.
On the night when he was seven years old, the [Civilization Fire System] from the other side of the galaxy exploded in his mind - mathematical and physical formulas, steam engine blueprints, genetic keys... Became his only ladder.
He improved the spinning wheel so that his mother would not have to weave every night until dawn;
He founded the Gewu Society and printed "strange and obscene skills" into a cheap "First Edition of Practical Learning", which was widely copied by students from poor families.
On the way to the imperial examination, the aristocratic family scolded him for "marrying a brother is an insult to the family tradition", but he backhandedly wrote a book called "The Theory of Industry and Commerce" and won the first prize;
In the court, the dignitaries accused him of "disrupting the Tao with his skills", but he silently built flintlock guns and ironclad ships at the border.
When the new emperor he supported ascended the throne, he promulgated the "Outline of the Imperial Constitution";
When his former ally Shangguan Yao established a country overseas and confronted him across the sea;
When the Martian canals in the night sky were confirmed to be the last words of ancient civilization...
Chen Qicai understood in the last lingering sound of the system——
What he wants to ignite is never the wealth of a family, but the dawn of the entire sea of stars.
