Li Changan, Chang’an’s number-one wastrel, is exiled to the desolate Western Regions after offending the powerful. With yellow sand filling the sky and his isolated city on the verge of falling, the Turkic cavalry closes in. At this desperate moment, memories from his previous life awaken in his mind: the hard-won expertise of a modern military-industry specialist.
No System? Then he’ll make it himself! Starting with crude steelmaking and black powder recipes, he prepares a surprise for the Turkic army, which expects to sack the city with ease: earth-shaking recoilless guns and ranks of matchlock soldiers ready to fire. Li Er only meant to teach him a hard lesson, but when the battle reports arrive, the entire court is left dumbfounded.
The isolated frontier city becomes an industrial fortress, and a steel tide sweeps across Eurasia. When Li Er brings his army to the border and sees artillery positions covering the hills, he asks with a tremble in his voice, “Who really rules this empire of mine?”
