An Engineer Wandering Through the Turmoil of Late Qing China

There are too many remnants of the old regime; who knows when it might become a 404 error?

I started reading and something felt off. The protagonist is always thinking about publishing papers; doesn't he want to rebel after being transported to the Qing Dynasty? Why would he travel to the Qing Dynasty if he wasn't going to rebel? Judging from the title, I thought it was about using science and engineering knowledge to stage a technological rebellion.

The protagonist publishes those achievements for posterity, which only bring him fame and fortune, as well as some empty honors to the country. Without developing basic education, without developing industry, and without awakening the public's intelligence, even if you develop ten theories of relativity and quantum mechanics, it will not bring any substantial benefit to the country.

If you wear Qing dynasty clothing and don't rebel, you can't do anything, unless you wear a Manchu queue, like that person who wrote "My father-in-law is Kangxi".

I thought the protagonist would copy the entire theory of relativity, but he left Einstein with a section. Despite possessing advanced research results, he simply doesn't advance them; he just plays around. Not rebelling is understandable, given the limited time available and inevitable dynastic change, but the protagonist basically doesn't advance anything.

I've read a few chapters, and the author's writing is excellent. Unfortunately, I have absolutely no interest in the idea of ​​saving the country through force after transmigrating to that era. That's all for now, goodbye.

Unfortunately, Xu Shou, the true leading male scientist and engineer of the late Qing Dynasty, was not mentioned. A science and engineering student hiding in the Qing Dynasty—even the protagonist of a wish-fulfillment novel wouldn't dare live like this! In the center of the stage, a large group of men were chattering away.

Late Qing dynasty literature is too difficult to write, but the author perseveres.

"If I win the Nobel Prize, will the country issue me a bachelor's degree?" This is a bizarre question I saw on Zhihu. I always thought this was a joke, but I never expected the author to actually write it. The protagonist clearly possesses knowledge far ahead of his time and is a globally acclaimed great scientist. Yet they still go to junior high school just for a "diploma"?

Some parts have a "saintly" feel, and the plot is contradictory. Also, some of the deliberate use of references feels forced and awkward. 1. Whenever I run into someone named Yu Qian, I start making jokes about Deyun Club. Second, if you encounter someone who wants to send their son to the palace to become a eunuch, and you give them 10 taels of silver—they're poor and can't afford to raise their…
