Shen Shen, a doctor of materials science, traveled through time in an experimental accident and became the much-despised son-in-law of the Su family during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. On their wedding night, they stayed alone in an empty room, and the next day they couldn't even ask for a bowl of hot rice.
In a desperate situation, the ancestral jade pendant activates the [Knowledge Map of All Realms] system - a vast amount of modern knowledge is at your fingertips, but it comes with strict shackles: major historical trajectories must not be changed, and all technologies must be localized for practice.
Starting with a bowl of egg fried rice, Silence uses modern thinking to influence the times. Jinling became famous for purifying snowflake salt, creating the first takeout network, and distilling "a drop of fragrance". Glaze and steel were born in improved blast furnaces, cement paved roads in new cities, and steam engines made their first roar on the banks of the Yangtze River.
He founded "New Jinling", built hospitals and practical colleges, and quietly reshaped the social fabric with the benefit of industry and commerce. Xu Guangqi became a confidant, Qi Jiguang sought cooperation, and Yan Song and his son regarded Mo's industry as a threat that must be eradicated.
On one side is the ever-changing fire of industrial civilization, and on the other is the rolling torrent of history. Silence moves forward in the cracks, using knowledge as an edge and caution as a shield. When the encirclement and suppression of the imperial power and the old family finally came, he pressed the valve of the steam engine and smiled at the surging enemies:
"Everyone, times have changed."
This is a silent revolution that does not move the backbone of history and only changes the texture of civilization. From the son-in-law to the father of the industrial revolution, the fire he planted will start a prairie fire three hundred years later.
