Transmigrating to 1925 in the Republic of China, Lu Chenzhou becomes a lowly dockworker at the Tianjin docks.
Warlords battle for supremacy, foreign powers run rampant, and human lives are worth less than grass.
Then he accidentally unlocks an underground arsenal built along a dragon vein: a military-industrial legacy from the Great Ming, three hundred years ago.
“Copying Mauser rifles? That’s obsolete.”
“The Japanese have tanks? I have machine-gun emplacements.”
“The foreign powers impose a blockade? I’ll make everything myself.”
From an underground arsenal to an industrial empire, from dockworker to the uncrowned king.
Lu Chenzhou says, “What this age needs isn’t another warlord. It needs the strength to let everyone eat their fill and stand tall.”
And it all begins when he builds the first “Made in Tianjin” rifle right under the warlords’ noses.
