Stranded in the Arctic: From the Start, I Build a Maxim Gun

Lu Changyuan transmigrated and became Ryan, the seventh prince of the Holy Two-Headed Eagle Empire.

Because his mother was of low birth, he was framed for treason and exiled to a frozen fortress of death, trapped in a hopeless situation of brutal cold, hostile tribes, and repeated assassination attempts by his brothers.

Fortunately, he awakened the [Great Nation Heavy Industry System]! As long as he had resources, he could unlock an unlimited technology tree.

While the empire's nobles were still congratulating themselves on the range of their flintlock rifles, Ryan's arsenal was already mass-producing Maxim machine guns.

While the wooden sailing ships of the great powers still swaggered across the seas, Ryan's Dreadnought-class steel warships had already blockaded their ports.

Years later, the old emperor died. The princes tore each other apart in a struggle for the throne, while a coalition of Western powers marched on the imperial capital, intent on carving up the ancient, decaying empire.

At this moment of mortal peril, a steam-powered armored train belching black smoke smashed through the gates of the capital.

Leading a million-strong steel army, Ryan looked down at the trembling Western powers and his imperial brothers. "I hear someone wants to carve up my territory?"

The truth has always been within range of the cannons!
