Traveling Through the Late Sui Dynasty: Technology Rewrote the Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Lin Mo, a top computer student in 2025, died suddenly at a major Internet company. He traveled back in time to a poor scholar at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. He chose to join the army in order to survive in troubled times. He first showed his talent in the army with the help of modern scientific and technological knowledge and the gunpowder formula and simple mechanical design provided by the system. He encounters Dou Hongying, a general's daughter who is disguised as a man. Although she is despised, she impresses her with the precise design of an improved repeating crossbow, and the two go together. Lin Mo predicted the key battle of the Wagangzhai rebellion, which attracted the attention of the famous general Li Jing. Li Jing was dubious but accepted his suggestions. After the victory, he was amazed by his talent, and the three formed a core alliance. The hermit Gongsun Jiuniang made an exception because of Lin Mo's recovery of the "Wooden Cow and Flooded Horse", and brought the lost machine technique drawings, which greatly increased the team's strength. Warlord Wang Shichong discovered that Lin Mo had repeatedly sabotaged his siege plan and offered a reward to pursue him. During the Battle of Luoyang, Lin Mo counterattacked with explosive traps and used the opportunity to help Li Tang's army seize strategic locations. As Li Shimin's power grew, Lin Mo presented a world map and a plan to improve the imperial examination, and was deeply involved in the construction of the Tang Dynasty system. However, he was jealous of his eldest son Wuji because of his prophetic ability. In order to eliminate suspicion, Lin Mo voluntarily handed over military power after the Xuanwu Gate Incident, and instead established a science and technology workshop, invented improved papermaking technology and textile machines, and promoted the prosperity of commerce. The climax occurred when the Turks invaded. Lin Mo led his private soldiers to surprise the enemy with "Thunderbolt Chariots" (improved trebuchets) and gunpowder bags. Gongsun Jiuniang controlled the machine wing troops to cut off the grain road, Dou Hongying personally killed the Turkic Khan, and Li Jing led the main force to encircle and seal the victory...
