Introduction to the novel
Physicist Xie Xian accidentally traveled through time in the laboratory and woke up as a poor scholar with a huge debt of three hundred taels. The creditor is Zhou Wanwan, a local tycoon, and the debt collectors are already sharpening their knives. However, Xie Xian's mind contained all modern knowledge from farming to industry, from mechanics to chemistry. He first used a "multi-stage sugar pressing method" to make the gang leader who was chasing him his first partner, then used the principle of leverage to improve the waterwheel and used coke ironmaking to reduce dimensions and hit the local ironware industry. When everyone thought he just wanted to be a rich man, Xie Xian had already set his sights further afield - steam engines, muskets, cannons, and the shocking secret hidden on the silk piece that sent him to this world.
Zhou Wanwan wants his life, the aristocratic family wants his skills, and the imperial court wants his people. Xie Xian pushed up his non-existent glasses and curled his lips: "Want it? Trade the entire era for it."
