The Time-Traveling Industrialist

Transmigrating into a poor scholar on the verge of starvation, Silas finds himself in the Grand Xia Empire, a weak dynasty, with a Great Power Industrial System. Nearly starving, he hand-crafts gunpowder, embarking on his path to the pinnacle. He crafts arquebuses, cannons, and steam engines. When enemy troops besieged the Imperial City, Silas's hand-made heavy cannons turn the enemy forces to ash. With his system, Silas crafts his way up through upgrades.
