Lin Yang, a chief military engineer, worked himself to death at a rocket artillery test site. When he opened his eyes, he had become Zhu Yuntong, the legitimate grandson of the Ming Crown Prince.
His birth mother had died young, his father was cold and distant, and his stepmother, Empress Lü, showered him with false praise day after day, nearly turning him into a complete good-for-nothing.
Zhu Yuntong sneered: Now that a max-level military engineering expert has arrived, how could I let petty villains manipulate me!
Beneath the cockfighting shed, he hid a military engineering laboratory. Briquettes, cement, and refined steel appeared one after another. He cut through an imperial saber with a single stroke, stunning the Hongwu Emperor!
His stepmother wanted to ruin his future? Then he would make her watch her dream of seizing the throne shatter completely!
Civil officials called his inventions useless gimmicks? Flintlock guns and cannons would teach them a lesson. On the battlefield, it was one-sided slaughter!
Zhu Yuanzhang: My grandson is a pillar of the Ming Dynasty!
Zhu Biao: From today onward, my son Zhu Yuntong is the Eastern Palace's only hope!
Empress Ma: Whoever dares lay a hand on my Tong'er, I will be the first to show no mercy!
From underground steelmaking to the roar of steam engines, from line infantry to steam warships, Zhu Yuntong single-handedly ushered the Ming Dynasty into the industrial age, swept across nations, and forged an empire of steel on which the sun never set!
The world said: The Hongwu Emperor's legitimate grandson, a god of military engineering, invincible beneath the heavens!
