[No System] [No Overpowered Golden Finger] [Multiple Female Leads] [Another-World Conquest] [Cautious Farming and Development] [Super Lord of the South Seas]
This is the story of a transmigrator who rises from the very bottom of society, starting out as a tenant farmer.
Drawing on the survival skills he learned while struggling at the bottom of society in his previous life, Chen Yan earns his first fortune in this world. He then sells everything he owns to build steam-powered sailing ships, smuggles goods throughout the South Seas, and amasses an immense fortune.
Unwilling to do all the hard work just to let others reap the rewards, Chen Yan thinks: There are countless uninhabited islands in the South Seas. If you Europeans can claim them, why can't we, the people of the Great Celestial Empire?
So, under the ambitious Chen Yan's direction, colonization begins on a small island in the South Seas. He steadily relocates people from the Great Qing, gradually filling the deserted islands.
With strength and population, he squeezes the European colonists' room to survive.
After more than a decade of development, Chen Yan builds schools on a grand scale and relentlessly pursues technology, advancing from the first low-pressure steam engines to high-pressure precision steam turbines, then to internal combustion engines.
From the widespread use of electricity to the popularization of radio.
From breakthroughs in internal combustion engines to the deployment of tanks and aircraft, and then to the dawn of space technology.
His territory, too, expands from a small island in the South Seas to half of Luzon, all of Mindanao, most of Malaysia, and from New Guinea all the way to the entirety of Australia.
Then one day, Chen Yan receives a “summons” from his Chinese homeland. Wanting to return and see the splendor of the Forbidden City, he sets sail from Tianjin Port with a group of old comrades.
Warships crisscross the seas, tanks stand in ranks on land, and aircraft fill the sky like a dark cloud. Banners flutter in a scene of everlasting grandeur.
The aged Qianlong leads his civil and military officials, descendants, and consorts in kneeling outside the Forbidden City to welcome the new ruler of all under heaven…
