Southern Dynasties Magic Machine

Investigate things thoroughly, and use steel to make things better. This is a story about precision defeating metaphysics and logic reshaping civilization. In the Qi State of the Southern Dynasty, Emperor Gao's founding power was still there, and the rule of Emperor Wu Yongming was flourishing. In the afterglow of this prosperous age with flowers blooming on the surface, what Xiao Yan, a young man from the Xiao family in Lanling, saw was not poetry and song, but the geometry and machinery that supported the movement of heaven and earth. When all living beings indulge in idle conversation, and when emperors place their hope in immortality, he has ignited the industrial fire in the depths of Xiangyang. As the two heroes left one after another, the prosperity collapsed instantly. In the north, Tuoba Hong of the Northern Wei Dynasty started a heretical civilization that combined blood witches and organs; in the south, Xiao Luan fell into the madness of clan killings. Xiao Yan built an island of steel in Xiangyang by relying on the "logic of investigation" that spanned the ages. He teamed up with Zu Chongzhi and Tao Hongjing to transform ancient Taoism into the power of steam, and iterate the computing power of the Yi Jing into sophisticated formations. From the first "Yongming Xuanjia" that stunned Jiankang, to the battle of Han River where thousands of armors swept through 300,000 Northern Wei cavalry, Xiao Yan used ruthless mechanical precision to reduce the dimension and attack the decaying old order. He is not only seizing the imperial power, but also promoting a revolution that is sweeping the world - using the "Law of Divine Machinery" to destroy the blood ties of the noble families, and using the assembly line to empower poor people. When the torrent of steel flows down the river, pointing directly at the Jiankang City that was corroded by the blood curse, Xiao Yan faces not only the fatuous last emperor, but also the destiny that has bound China for thousands of years. "If there is no truth in the world, I will use gears to bite the truth; if there is no order in the world, I will use steel to cast order."
