When the defense engineer silently opened his eyes, he found himself reborn on the eve of the fall of Nanjing in 1937.
He holds eighty-eight years of future knowledge in his mind - from weapons blueprints to strategic ideas, from industrial systems to organizational codes. But at this moment, all he had was his injured leg, a crying girl, and the city in front of him that was about to sink into a sea of blood.
Escape or fight?
Silence chose the third path: using the soul of the future to forge a sword that belongs to this era.
He gathered together the defeated veteran Zhao Tieying, and persuaded Lin Shuyao, a medical doctor who had returned from overseas, to ignite the first weak fire in the heart of the enemy. From the desperate rescue in the ruins of Jinling, to the difficult establishment of base areas behind enemy lines; from the military miracle of "homemade steelmaking" in simple workshops, to the awakening of thousands of people's hearts through ideological enlightenment.
He was not only a "prophet" of tactics, but also an "alchemist" of ideas, tempering knowledge that transcended the times into power that could be used in 1937. Every step forward is accompanied by a life-and-death struggle with the brutal Japanese army, a fierce collision with internal outdated ideas, and a painful break with self-idealism.
This is an extreme national salvation experiment that spans time and space.
When the fire from the future falls into the darkest age,
Can it start a prairie fire?
This is a two-way journey between a person and an era, and it is also a grand narrative about the courage, wisdom and dignity of a nation in its darkest moment.
