A Fish Out of Water in the Early Tang

The plot has gone so far as to veer off course like this: 12 mechs, Li Shimin becomes the Morning Star Emperor, and the mechs can impart knowledge—what's the point of the protagonist then? He's completely useless.

You're training helpers, but you're teaching them a bunch of outdated things. You only need to teach them basic math and literacy. Is it really that easy to get rid of a waterwheel? If they let you study in the palace, you'd go! Aren't you afraid of brainwashing and being a hostage?

These things are as clear as day; they're all easily understood. They could all be built in six months to a year or two, yet not a single one has been made? Lathes and milling machines could be made using water power in two or three years. Even the atomic bomb took over ten years to develop. Don't overestimate technology.

To build a 2-meter-wide, 700-meter-long road, we need to cut down over 100 trees as thick as a bowl along the way... I'm going crazy!

Well, I couldn't read any further after reading just the word "doctor" in the first chapter. Author, are you kidding me? Do you think it was appropriate to use the word "doctor" in the early Tang Dynasty? Could they even use it?

To be honest, I only know one person named Yang Heng.

This book is not very rigorous. The first ten chapters are exaggerated. The reality is vastly different; a mix of truth and fiction makes it easier to relax. In ancient times, the yield of one mu (a Chinese unit of area, approximately 0.165 Acres) of land was only two to three hundred jin (a Chinese unit of weight, approximately 0.5 Tons). Even now, hybrid rice only yields 900 to 1000 jin.

I'm a VIP, why can't I get things for free?

Why are you asking me if I can see the membership coupon that was supposed to be there?

Should this book be moved to the science fiction section? 😅
