【Transmigration | infrastructure and farming | technology tree | political maneuvering | no System | one female lead | devoted only to the empress】
【A word of warning: the pacing is relatively slow at first, and this is not a System novel.】
After transmigrating to ancient times, he is immediately crowned emperor and becomes the supreme ruler.
With no powerful ministers holding him back and no need to rise from being a good-for-nothing, Xu Zhao decides that, with all the power in the world at his fingertips, he will give this era a little taste of modern industrial shock.
From black powder to breech-loading cannons, from steam engines to internal combustion engines, from telegraph networks to railways, and then on to global exploration by sea...
Years later, envoys from every nation come to pay homage.
Facing the envoys from various states, awed and trembling with fear, Xu Zhao leans back on the dragon throne and points to the enormous cannon outside the hall, weighing tens of thousands of pounds. He smiles and says:
“I have never relied on virtue to win people over, and I don't care for reasoning with them.”
“Because within the range of my cannons, everything is the truth!”
