第1章 穿越即加冕 

Crossing over means being crowned

In Constantinople in 1272, an empire was fading into twilight. A soul from the future awoke in the body of Andronic II, the gravedigger of Rome. Distilled spirits, movable type printing, cannons, fleets… He wielded technology and reason as his sword, tearing a bloody path through the old world of theocracy and ignorance. From the first pot of gold in the royal workshops to the roar of the Anatolian industrial region; from the undercurrents of the Sicilian Vespers to the cannon fire of the battles on the Black Sea and the Mediterranean; from the iron hooves conquering the Turks to the white sails of the New World. —The old world was burning, and a new order was being born. This time, Byzantium was not the final chapter of history, but the beginning of civilization.

1272的君士坦丁堡，一个帝国正走向黄昏。一个来自未来的灵魂，在罗马掘墓人——安德洛尼卡二世的身体醒来。蒸馏酒、活字印刷、火炮、舰队……他以科技与理性为剑，在神权与蒙昧的旧世界中撕开一条血路。从皇家工坊的第一桶金，到安纳托利亚工业区的轰鸣；从西西里晚祷的暗潮汹涌，到黑海和地中海大战的炮火连天；从征服突厥的铁蹄，到新大陆的白帆。——旧世界在燃烧，新秩序正在诞生。这一次，拜占庭不再是历史的终章，而是文明的起点。
