A Scientist in the Late Han Dynasty

Why say Liu Bei was invincible? Didn't Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao all die because of their own actions? As for Tao Qian and Liu Biao, they were in their sixties or seventies; they clearly died of old age. It's as if without Liu Bei, those warlords in the chaotic era wouldn't have gradually perished in the war.

The part of this book that I find most frustrating is that, according to the theory of social development science, it is impossible to create products that surpass the corresponding productivity in a given era. Leaps in technological advancement can generally only be limited to within 500 years, with a few technologies capable of leaps of over a thousand years. However, it is logically impossible for the Three Kingdoms period to create technologies that were only invented in modern times...

Many authors today haven't attended university. In reality, a modern, educated person could have accomplished so much in ancient times. While leading an entire dynasty might be out of the question, developing some pseudo-high-tech advancements would have been no problem. The three biggest limitations on ancient technology were rubber, springs, and permanent magnets.

Keep your writing focused on the essentials. Don't go on to explain Han Dynasty social classes. If it's relevant, just mention it briefly and give a general overview. Don't make it into several chapters. I might as well just read a history textbook.

The writing is too idealistic. When the protagonist encounters the Wuhuan people at the beginning, he has no strength at all, yet he dares to trade with them using a highly profitable item? If a real time traveler did this, he would have been murdered and robbed long ago! Not keeping technology secret and not valuing it based on its rarity is suicidal!

First of all, I haven't read it yet, but the introduction attracted me. I love exploring technology, and I hate it when people say this or that won't work just to balance things out. Is it so hard to explore technology when you have the technical data? Just follow the instructions. Research and so on. Once you have the actual product, you can teach and learn slowly.

I'm having a really hard time coming up with names, so I've created this "Extra" thread. If you'd like to be an extra, please write your name below. Please note that aristocratic families in the late Han Dynasty all had two characters; three characters meant commoners or ordinary people. Also, please indicate your desired profession, such as eunuch (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡

Without ideas, everything is just castles in the air; relying solely on natural science can only lead to fleeting success. Otherwise, Li Hongzhang's Self-Strengthening Movement would have succeeded long ago.

First, Zhang Jiao did indeed cure many people's illnesses, but what those illnesses were is difficult to ascertain. This is precisely what makes the story believable. After all, even before the Yellow Turban Rebellion and until Dong Zhuo's defeat in Chang'an, the Han Dynasty still possessed considerable strength; it wasn't that there was a genuine lack of food.

This book has a lot of debate about Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan of the Three Kingdoms period. They were all benevolent and righteous! In my opinion, they were all feudal warlords, not heroes. It's like how people view the Liangshan heroes today. Who still thinks Liangshan heroes are heroes?
