Shen Ce, 29, is a weapons development expert at one of China’s top defense research institutes. He specializes in small arms, artillery, ammunition, individual combat equipment, and basic industrial manufacturing. Cynical, sharp-tongued, and a compulsive ranter, he is also a workaholic who has spent years working late into the night. His physical condition is terrible, and he clings to life with all his might. While working overtime to test a new individual combat weapons system, he suddenly dies of cardiac arrest. His soul transmigrates to 220 BC, the second year after Qin Shi Huang unified the six states, and inhabits the body of a low-ranking convict who has just been beaten to death on the outskirts of Xianyang.
No System. He brings only a head full of modern defense-industry knowledge, materials science, mechanics, and basic chemistry, along with a multipurpose military entrenching tool he was clutching when he died, a tactical flashlight with just 10% battery left, and half a box of compressed biscuits.
