Blacksmith of the Late Qing: One Hammer Blow to Smash the Foreign Devils

[No System + No Golden Finger + Rebellion + Expel the Qing and Resist the West + Technological Strength + Contend for Hegemony]

Chen Yan is a modern-day cultural relic restorer who transmigrates to Yantai, Shandong, in 1904 and becomes an apprentice at a blacksmith's shop.

He discovers that Yantai Harbor has thousands of blacksmiths, but they can only make horseshoes and farm tools. Foreigners monopolize the manufacture of precision parts, and even railway spikes have to be imported.

Chen Yan has an ancestral bronze toolbox filled with miniature chisels and magnifying glasses of his own making, as well as a handwritten copy of Supplementary Notes on the Kaogongji, passed down to him by his grandfather. It contains detailed descriptions of the structure, principles, and operation of all kinds of ancient machines, and much more.

From the start, the foreigners need railway spikes to build a railway. None of the thousands of craftsmen in Yantai can make spikes that meet the standards, and the foreigners deliberately make things difficult, acting utterly arrogant! They claim that Chinese people can't make railway spikes! Using modern knowledge and his grandfather's toolbox, Chen Yan makes spikes that meet the standards and can withstand eight heavy hammer blows!

With his hammer, Chen Yan smashes the foreigners' arrogance. Step by step, he drives out the Qing and resists the West, helping all of Huaxia rise again and creating an immortal legend that will shine in the annals of history for generations of Chinese people!
