Ironclad Ingenuity: Reviving Huaxia in the Late Tang Dynasty

Lin Zhao is a modern young man, a technician at an electronics factory with a passion for history and industrial technology. His phone holds a trove of technical documents he created himself.

When a current leak shocks him while his phone is charging, his consciousness fuses with an AI System known as the Heavenly Craftsman Superbrain. In a state of quantum entanglement, he transmigrates to the late Tang Dynasty.

Reborn as Li Zhao, a prince of a collateral branch of the Tang imperial clan, he is exiled to Qiongzhou, gravely ill, bullied, and close to death. He uses the AI System to kill a local tyrant and make an example of him.

Drawing on the previous owner's memories and his noble status, he brings the indigenous villages under his control.

He establishes the first Heavenly Craftsman Workshop, smelting iron in a simple blast furnace and making farm tools and knives.

He improves the salt fields and purifies sea salt, breaking the government's monopoly.

He builds the first simple water-powered machine tool, boosting production efficiency.
