The Days of Starting an Industrial Revolution in Ancient Times

Blurb:

After working herself to death from overtime, corporate drone Chu Le transmigrated back to ancient times and became an unlucky princess sent away for a political marriage.

Gaia, an artificial intelligence from the Galactic Era, sought out Chu Le, hoping she could accelerate the development of human technology and prevent the collapse of human civilization in the future.

Chu Le: Save humanity? Me?

She had no choice. It was the only way to survive.

A disastrous start:

The emperor was obsessed with cultivating immortality and ignored state affairs.

The government was corrupt, with officials lining their pockets at every turn.

Enemies threatened the empire on both sides, and the Beidi forces were already at the gates.

Later, under Chu Le's leadership:

The land was at peace, and the national treasury was full.

The Industrial Revolution began here, and the world's first steam engine was born.

Capitalism began to take root, and the Chu Empire rose to power.

The Age of Exploration began, and the Chu Empire became the ruler of the seas.

The first World's Fair opened, drawing visitors from every nation.

Internal combustion engines, cars, flush toilets, generators, and countless other industrial products dazzled the crowds and attracted envoys from far and wide.

After hearing the many engineers explain that the empress had led them in inventing all these things, the envoys rushed to request an audience with the empress of the Chu Empire.

"Her Majesty set sail on an expedition to the Americas and hasn't returned yet."
