In 2030 AD, the protagonist Lu Chen, as a "super academic" at the School of Civil Engineering of Tongji University, is proficient in structural mechanics, materials science and ancient building restoration. After an accident on his graduation trip, he woke up and found that he had become a poor craftsman outside Xianyang who was recruited to build the Zhengguo Canal.
Lu Chen has no system or golden fingers. His only advantage is that his head is filled with civil engineering knowledge for the next thousand years. He had to go from a low-level laborer who was whipped by supervisors to stand in front of Qin Shihuang step by step through technical demonstrations like "dimensionality reduction strikes".
Qin Shihuang wanted to complete his immortal achievements. He thought he had found the most powerful craftsman, but little did he know that what he found was a civilized son who could change the direction of history.
