The Chongzhen Emperor Rebuilds Ming into a Golden Age

The most exciting part of the novel is the advancement of the technological line. From the initial improved waterwheels and telescopes, to flintlock guns and landmines, to rifled rifles, breech-loading rifled cannons, steam engines, electric lights, generators, electric motors... The emergence of every technological node has a solid foundation and does not appear out of thin air. From the establishment of the steam engine project to its success, it has gone through sealing problems, rubber search, vulcanization process improvement, and development of the chambering machine. Every step has failed, improved, and the sweat of craftsmen. The electric lamp started from Wang Zheng's electricity laboratory, with hand-blown glass bubbles, bamboo charcoal filament firing, and vacuum sealing. Every step was written in detail. This kind of "scientific research article" style of writing allows readers to truly feel the difficulty of scientific and technological progress, and also feel the excitement of every success.
