Illumine Lingao aka Morning Star of Lingao, is a Chinese time travel novel.
In the story, more than 500 people from early-21st-century China intentionally travel back in time to the late Ming dynasty in 1628 AD. Settling in Lingao County on the island of Hainan, the time travelers set out to establish an industrialized society and change the course of history.
The work is crowd-authored by hundreds of netizens and praised for its realistic depictions of how to bootstap an industrial civilization from scratch.
I wasn’t able to find a translation (there was one reddit post but the link was timed out) or even a pdf/purchase link in Chinese to plug into google translate. Any chance you have a link?
Here is the link to the book hosted on a Chinese website, with further links to the chapters. I had a poor experience reading on that website but unfortunately I was unable to find a more pleasant one.
