Daming Temple

In the tenth year of Wanli, the craftsman Hu Nan was carried into the most mysterious institution of the Ming Dynasty, the Gewuyuan, because of an advanced shipbuilding plan. The technology here is enough to crush the West. On the first page, Zhu Pi was shocked: "The skills of the Yi and Di are fifty years behind our baseline." But the reality is that Portuguese gunboats are tearing apart the Ming Dynasty Navy at the Pearl River Estuary. Hu Nan's task is not to create one or two sharp weapons, but to restart the technological bloodline of the entire civilization: He promoted the "Code of Exercise" and changed sex from "depending on feel" to "according to standards"; He formed the "Tiangong Group" to turn Zheng He's treasure ship drawings into iron-wood composite keels; He was blood-sworn shipbuilding in Qiongzhou, and wanted to build a new cannon that could fire thousands of steps and blast apart enemy ships. But the real enemy is not at sea—— In the court, conservatives denounced him for "tampering with the ancestral system"; Within the system, those with vested interests set deadly traps; Even the gun barrel he forged exploded during the test firing, staining the school ground with blood... When the secret of leading technology becomes a shackle, when the dragon on the drawing sleeps for a hundred years—— Can a son of a craftsman use the hardest bones to lift the heaviest empire? From the drawing library of Gewuyuan to the cupola of Qiongzhou Shipyard, From the heated debates in front of the Forbidden City in Beijing to the burning ruins of the city walls in Guangzhou. This is a technical war without golden fingers. An epic of the awakening of industrial civilization written in iron, fire, blood and ink. The real impact of dimensionality reduction is that while our opponents are still climbing the hills, we are already marking the stars.
