Railgun Fishing! Are You Sure This Is for Civilian Use?

Chu He returns to the late 1970s, when Yanhuang is struggling with poverty at home and threats abroad. Industries across the country are made responsible for their own profits and losses, and countless major national projects are canceled. Building rockets is considered less worthwhile than selling tea eggs.

Chu He decides to speed up scientific research across every field, so the great powers will be the ones with their backs against the wall.

Big Beautiful: "What the hell? You blew up one of my 8,000-ton warships just to bomb some fish? Like I'd believe that!"

The Old Bear: "Good grief! Space-based laser satellites? You seriously claim they're for weather forecasting?"

Neighboring vermin: "Yanhuang's Xuannü fighters are transforming overhead while throwing firecrackers at us. Father, save me!"

*Big Shot: "Young hero! Are you selling those new sky rockets? The kind that can circle the Earth twice and change direction mid-flight?"

When the great powers finally look back, they discover that the country bumpkin in rubber-soled shoes and a red-star cap has pulled far ahead in cutting-edge technology!
