Open Gun

In the Ming Dynasty in the 16th century, Han Daocheng, a young boy from Yanzhou, was killed by Japanese pirates and adopted by Taoist Xuanzhen. He was able to experience the different development processes of gunpowder and firearms in Europe and the Ming Dynasty. In the process of learning and growing up, he not only witnessed the divide between Eastern and Western technological development paths, but also touched upon the complex relationship between institutions, culture and technology. With the help of Han Daocheng's learning process, the author skillfully introduces "Knowledge Distillation", an artificial intelligence big data training method, allowing readers to understand the role and characteristics of the latest technology in an immersive historical narrative. This is not only a historical novel about the transformation of firearms, but also an exploration of the profound interweaving of technology, human nature, institutions and culture.
