Jack struggles to understand his new surroundings but uses his knowledge to help improve the technology of the era, such as developing a more efficient waterwheel. He encounters various power figures, including eunuchs and nobles, and attempts to fit into society while longing for his family back home.

He is the ruler of the Great Ming dynasty during a time of significant reform and modernization. He is wise, openminded, and visionary. The emperor becomes aware of Jack's presence and views him as an intriguing curiosity from afar. While he does not directly interact with Jack often, his interest in the stranger's capabilities drives some of the plot developments as minor characters like Wu Ping attempt to capitalize on this unexpected opportunity.

She is a young woman from a noble family who is tasked with finding a suitable mate for her father. She is curious, brave, and independentminded. Jie discovers Jack Chen hiding in the woods near her home and is intrigued by his strange clothing and appearance. She decides to approach him, hoping to learn more about this mysterious stranger and possibly use her knowledge to her advantage in negotiating with others for her future.
It was the year 1566 in Great Ming, and I was a modern man who had just arrived here.
I had no idea how I got here and what I should do.
The only thing I could think of was to use my knowledge to help them improve their technology.
I walked on the street, looking around.
There were many people, but they were all dressed in old-fashioned clothes.
They stared at me with wide eyes, not knowing what to say.
I was dressed in modern clothes, and they must have thought that I was strange.
I walked into a blacksmith shop and saw him making a sword.
I asked him if he could make a more efficient waterwheel for me.
He looked at me but did not know what to say.
I took out my phone and showed him the picture of a more efficient waterwheel.
He looked at it and then at me.
He seemed to be confused.
I explained to him how it worked and what materials were needed.
I gathered some materials from around the shop.
There were some wooden planks, metal rods, and some tools.
I asked him to help me cut the wood into small pieces.
He looked at me skeptically but still did it.
I measured the wood and marked it with a pencil.
Then I asked him to help me cut it into the right size.
He looked confused but still did it.
I explained to him what I was doing and why I needed those pieces of wood.
He listened carefully and nodded his head occasionally.
After we cut all the pieces of wood, I asked him to help me assemble them.
We used some metal rods to connect the pieces of wood together.
I showed him how to do it and he followed my instructions carefully.
As we were assembling the waterwheel, more and more people came to watch us.
They were curious about what we were doing and why we were making a waterwheel. The blacksmith shop was located near a river, so there was always water flowing through it.
The blacksmith used the water to cool down the hot metal he was working with.
I told him that we could use that water to power our waterwheel.
He looked confused again but still agreed to help me.
After we finished assembling the basic frame of the waterwheel, I asked him to help me attach some paddles to it.
The paddles were made of flat pieces of wood that were attached to the frame at an angle.
I explained to him that when the water flowed through the paddles, it would cause them to turn and generate power.
He looked interested in what I was saying and asked me some questions about how it worked.
I explained it to him in detail and he seemed to understand it better now. After we finished attaching all the paddles, I asked him to help me mount the waterwheel on a temporary stand near the river channel in front of his shop.
The stand was made of some wooden planks that were nailed together to form a square shape.
Blacksmith: "This contraption of yours, it seems like magic to me. Are you some kind of sorcerer from the future?"
Me: "No, no sorcery, just knowledge from a different time. But if we succeed, it could change everything for your village."
Blacksmith: "Then let us finish this and see if your future magic can truly bring prosperity."
As the blacksmith and I make the final adjustments to the mounting brackets, I check each paddle's angle against the reference photos on my phone.
The wooden frame creaks as we carefully pivot the wheel into the river's current.
Water splashes against the first paddle, then the next, and with a groan, the massive wheel begins to turn with a steady rhythm.
The blacksmith's eyes widen in wonder.
"Now, watch closely," I say, gesturing to the main axle.
"This is where we attach a basic gear system. It will allow us to harness the power and use it for various tasks."
I demonstrate how to secure a simple gear made of wood and metal to the axle.
The blacksmith nods intently.
"And now, we need to connect leather belts from this spinning shaft to other machinery in your shop," I explain.
"Like these grinding wheels."
Several of his apprentices hurry to assist, wrapping leather straps around the spinning shaft and securing them to the equipment.
The sound of turning gears fills the air as the waterwheel powers the shop's machinery for the first time.
Blacksmith: "It's alive! By the heavens, it's alive! This will change everything for us."
Me: "Exactly, and with this, you can produce more tools and weapons faster than ever before."
Blacksmith: "I never imagined such a thing was possible. You truly are a gift to our village."
