"My Steam-powered Great Ming" by Gu Ququ

The twenty-eighth year of the Hongwu era in the Great Ming.

At the edge of the Great Wall, the northern barbarians, relying on shamanic sorcery, fiercely resist the advance of the Ming's steam-powered troops. Blood and tears intertwine in a rising spiral.

Within the capital, soldiers clad in steam armor shoulder flintlock rifles, patrolling the streets with resolute steps.

Inside the inner city, the camp of the Embroidered Guards buzzes with activity as countless banners relay telegraph transmissions, monitoring the officials.

Looking up, massive coal-burning airplanes faithfully guard the imperial city from the skies.

At the ancient train station, a steam locomotive billowing black smoke slowly pulls into the platform.

In the cargo carriages, steam-powered mobile cannons, operated by intricate gear mechanisms, disembark in order, heading toward the Shenji Battalion on the outskirts.

Standing on the platform, Pengke takes in this intoxicating sight and grins.

This is an era where mystery is fading, and science is rising.

It is the best of times, and the worst of times.

A chapter recommendation from a fellow author; some of our scenes share similar elements, both marked by steam punk. If you enjoy this style, feel free to take a look.
