Reversal of Ming: a Tale of Two Stars

In the fourth year of Chongzhen (AD 1631), the Ming Dynasty was in turmoil. There were rogue bandits inside and the Houjin tigers looking at it outside. At this critical juncture in history, Xie Yiqi, a doctor of engineering, and his high school best friend Zhao Munan, who is now a doctor of history, unexpectedly traveled through time and space and landed in this era of war. One is proficient in modern engineering, materials, chemistry and physics knowledge, and his mind is filled with the blueprint of the industrial revolution; the other has insight into the historical context, character relationships, and keys to success and failure in the late Ming Dynasty, and is well versed in the laws of the rise and fall of dynasties. Faced with the precarious nation and the imminent tragedy of national subjugation, they had no choice but to retreat and rise together.
