Hollowing Out Weiyang

A black storm tore the modern mechanic Guo Zheng out of time and space, and threw him into the iron-blooded era when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was conquering all directions. Waking up on the bank of a wild river ravaged by floods, all he had was the broken body of a strange young man and a tool bag soaked in water. Salt and iron are the blood of the empire; thaumaturgy is the only blade. From refining the first grain of life-saving salt to creating an invincible foundation for the Han cavalry, Guo Zheng used knowledge that spanned a thousand years as fire, and arduously burned his way to survival in the shadow of Weiyang Palace and the sound of the Huns' horses. This is the worst of times, with strict imperial power, endless conquests, and human lives like grass. This is also the best era, when the blood is not yet cold, achievements are waiting to be made, and the world can be carved. Let's see how a soul lost in history can use "wonderful skills" as bricks to lay the first immortal cornerstone on the majestic Han's blueprint for a prosperous age - or become the first dust of sacrifice for the great cause of the empire.
