Zhang Wan, a modern engineer, is struck by a strange bolt of lightning and transmigrates to ancient Great Song. In a ruined temple on a freezing night, he has nothing but a backpack full of modern tools, yet manages to kindle a fire and a spark of hope.
When the frozen Bian River cuts off grain shipments, he builds ice-breaking rafts to relieve the people’s plight. When locusts ravage the land and destroy crops, he uses light traps to protect the local granaries. When poor farming methods bring famine, he improves waterwheels and promotes high-yield rice, turning fields into gold. When powerful enemies threaten the border, he forges cannons and makes firearms, raising an ironclad line of defense.
From a tiny workshop in the countryside to chief engineer of the Imperial Workshops, he wields modern knowledge like a blade, cutting through the constraints of his age. He builds waterways, opens sea routes, prints paper money, and establishes schools, pushing Great Song step by step toward prosperity.
This is an adventure across time undertaken alone, and the legend of an ordinary man who uses his ingenuity to shape the world and benefit the people. As a spark from another world lights up Great Song a thousand years ago, watch Zhang Wan take a starship as his vessel, cleave through the currents of history, and write his own masterpiece of statecraft.
