Canglan Returns Home

At the age of seventeen, Lin Yuan's rowing boat crashed into an alien planet without a navigation map. At first, he just wanted to survive the night: find fresh water, make a fire, identify wild fruits, and avoid footprints in the woods. But the fuel for returning home is scattered all over the planet, and there is no way to get it together in one vein - according to his calculations, it would take one person a thousand years to collect it. One person cannot live a civilization. He had no choice but to start with a fire and a bronze knife, turning the savages watching the sky fire into believers, and turning the desert island into the first cornerstone of the industrial revolution. He also used trade routes to extend his tentacles into the courts, guilds, and temples of the ancient empire, allowing accountants, mercenaries, and intelligence networks to quietly take shape behind the scenes. He never wanted to conquer anyone. He just wanted to go home—to take the venomous AI that had accompanied him all the way home with him.
