Great Ming: I Lecture on the Art of Slaying Dragons, and Old Zhu Can't Sit Still Next Door

After transmigrating to the Hongwu era of the Ming dynasty, Chu Huaian hopes to use knowledge six hundred years ahead of its time to single-handedly force Ming technology to leap forward! He will make the roar of steam engines come centuries early, and the thunder of planes and cannons strike fear into all corners of the world! But Confucianism reigns supreme, and the sages' words are law! The science and mathematics he has poured his heart into are condemned by the corrupt Confucian scholars of the court as “heresy that misleads the masses.” He himself is cursed by thousands and is about to be executed! If no one is willing to take up the torch of science... Then he'll go completely mad before he dies! Facing the condemnation of thousands, he stands before Zhu Di and the other princes, and declares something that shakes the heavens and earth, one word at a time: “I have another art here, the art of slaying dragons! Your Highnesses... would any of you be interested?” When “slaying dragons” is redefined as “raising dragons,” and the shocking prophecy that “the Ming dynasty is doomed to fall within three hundred years” echoes through the court... What kind of shock will this scholar, cast aside by Confucianism, bring to the Zhu family?
