I Build Industry in Great Song, and the World Bows to Me

Li Weimin, a modern-day double PhD in materials science and computer science with expertise in engineering mechanics and blast mechanics, is transported by an experimental accident into the Southern Song Dynasty, where he becomes Emperor Zhao Shi.

He awakens in the depths of winter in 1276, newly enthroned, the imperial seal in his hands, but with the empire on the brink of collapse.

Faced with internal strife, external threats, and enemies on every side, Zhao Shi draws on a thousand years of advanced knowledge. He places Yu Yunwen in key positions, reforms the military and government, and drives industrial development. Relying on Hangzhou's geographical and material advantages, in just ten years he pushes the Song Dynasty into the steam age: steam trains race across the realm, and breech-loading rifles strike fear into all who oppose him.

With his own strength, he turns the tide, repels powerful enemies, fosters every industry, strengthens the military, and expands the empire's reach across the seas, bringing the Song Dynasty centuries ahead of the world and to the pinnacle of civilization.

In this life, he will make the Song Dynasty the supreme empire that truly rules the globe!
