    A science and physics exam hall in ancient China? A top science student transmigrates to another world, baffles the examiners with formulas, drives the Ministry of Works mad with blueprints, and even gets the emperor to exclaim: "My empire was saved by the Pythagorean theorem!" Who would have thought that on the day the imperial examination results were announced in the Great Yong Dynasty, the most shocking thing wasn't the top scholar's family background, but the pages of scribbles on his exam paper—x/y ratios, force diagrams filled with horizontal lines, and a sentence that made the examiners slam their fists on the table and curse him as "heretical": "Water management isn't about worshipping the river god, it's about calculating the flow velocity of the clear water and the load-bearing capacity of the dam!" Lin Yan, in his previous life, was the top science student in the province, still working on the most challenging physics problems a second before the college entrance exam, only to find himself transmigrated into the body of a poor scholar who couldn't even afford steamed buns. Looking at the well-worn copy of the Analects on his desk, his lips twitched—when it came to memorizing the Four Books and Five Classics, he was no match for a street vendor; but when it came to using science to break through problems, no one in the entire Great Yong Dynasty could beat him! In the first round of the imperial examination, the essay question was on "disaster relief strategies." While other candidates wrote about "benevolent governance and love for the people" and "opening up granaries," he pulled out an abacus: "Based on the population density of the Yong Dynasty, each county needs 32.7 Shi of grain, with transportation losses of about 15%. If temporary plank roads are built to shorten the distance by 30 li, 4.9 Shi of grain can be saved, enough to feed 500 people for half a month." He even attached a line graph to calculate the loss rate. The examiner almost threw the paper away: "How can disaster relief be calculated in such detail? It's simply absurd!" When the paper was presented to the emperor, the emperor was so astonished when he calculated it with the abacus that he dropped his teacup: "This number... Is exactly as described!" The second round was even more impressive! The question was on "border defense equipment." He directly drew a blueprint for an improved crossbow, noting that "the crossbow arm uses a triangular structure, increasing the draw weight by 50%, and the arrowhead is streamlined, increasing the range by 30 paces," and even wrote a plain explanation of "conservation of energy." The Minister of Works slapped his thigh upon seeing it: "The range problem that I've been struggling with for three years, he solved with just one drawing?!" He immediately wanted to appoint him as the chief craftsman of the Ministry of Works. What stunned the emperor the most was the flood control case! When the Yellow River breached its banks, the officials clamored to "offer sacrifices to Heaven and pray to the River God." Lin Yan carried his surveying instruments to the riverbank and three days later produced a report: "The riverbed at the breach is 1.2 Zhang higher than downstream. A 'cascade drainage method' is needed, along with three diversion dams. The dam body should be made of concrete (which he named 'Concrete'), which is ten times stronger than rammed earth." Following his method, the breach was plugged in half a month. The emperor stood on the dam, grasped his hand, and exclaimed, "Sir, you are truly my 'pillar of stability'!" While others relied on rote memorization to pass the imperial examinations, he won effortlessly with mathematics, physics, and chemistry: he used linear programming to calculate grain supplies, fluid mechanics to repair waterways, and the lever principle to modify farm tools. Even when lecturing the crown prince, he used a "buoyancy experiment" to explain the Analects' "The benevolent find joy in mountains"—"Your Highness, look, a piece of wood can float on water because buoyancy equals weight, just as benevolent governance can support the people; only when the weight is sufficient can it be stable." The Crown Prince clapped his hands, exclaiming, "This is much more interesting than what the Grand Tutor said!" Even more striking was his "realistic wisdom": when he transmigrated, his family was so poor that his mother had to sew to survive. Instead of rushing to take the imperial examinations, he first built a makeshift waterwheel to irrigate the neighboring village, earning his first fortune. Faced with attempts to curry favor with the powerful, he only believed in "scientific principles," refusing to use back channels: "I may not be an official, but my formulas cannot be wrong." Even when the emperor wanted to bestow a princess upon him, he politely declined: "I want to first teach 'the study of things' (his name for physics) to more people." Currently serialized at 528,000 words, with a rating of 9.6! No melodramatic family feuds, only the overwhelming power of a science whiz: from a poor scholar to a "scientific scholar" whom the emperor chased after to ask "how to derive the formulas," Lin Yan used a pen and an abacus to transform the ancient court into a "science showcase." If you love the exhilarating feeling of "crushing everything with knowledge" and enjoy seeing how ancient people were amazed by mathematics, physics, and chemistry, this book will definitely keep you hooked—after all, who can resist a top science student who uses the Pythagorean theorem to calculate military merits and the principle of buoyancy to explain benevolent governance?
