Science Datang

Li Mingyuan, a doctor of geology, traveled through time and became Li Yun, a humble concubine of the clan during the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty. With scientific thinking and data analysis capabilities that were beyond the times, he accurately calculated that the Anshi Rebellion would break out in about ten years, and the probability of Chang'an's fall was over 83%. Faced with the impending dynasty catastrophe, he chose a unique way to break the situation: not to enter the court, not to raise the flag of righteousness, but to use the most basic people's livelihood economy - salt - as the fulcrum. Armed with knowledge of modern chemistry, he presented the innovative "Brine Fractional Crystallization Method" to the troubled Nengchen Salt and Iron Commander Liu Yan, promising to increase the salt production efficiency of Jie County's waste pond several times. In the eyes of everyone's suspicion, he single-handedly started an experiment to save the era with scientific "performance" on the deserted Xichi Salt Flats. This is a story about the collision of reason, data and ancient society. When the time traveler is no longer satisfied with reciting poems or scheming for power, but trying to use the most hard-core scientific methods to leverage history from the economic foundation, can he find another way out for the prosperous Tang Dynasty in the 3,500-day countdown?
