Siheyuan: I Start by Donating a Lithography Machine to the Nation

Li Weiguo's soul travels back to the 1960s, where he becomes a young grade-eight fitter in a courtyard full of scoundrels, with a hungry infant to care for.

The scoundrels want to take advantage of him? He turns around and calls a whole-courtyard meeting to teach them a lesson!

But that's only the beginning! He awakens the National Contribution System. Every contribution he makes to the country unlocks a futuristic technology factory!

When the country is fretting over a shortage of machine tools, he quietly hands over CNC machine tool technology, shocking the ministries! When the world debates computers, he presents "Qiming No. 1" and "Red Star OS," prompting the leaders to summon him in the middle of the night!

From anti-ship missiles to the crewed spacecraft "Dawn," from integrated circuits to a "scientific stratagem" that sparks a space race... Li Weiguo pushes his homeland, step by step, to the pinnacle of the world!

Uncle Sam: "We must join his 'open ecosystem' at any cost. We've already lost at the starting line!" The Bear: "This is definitely a plot! He's trying to hollow us out with his 'shadow industry'!"

As the United States and the Soviet Union burn through money in the "race" he has set up, dancing in the palm of his hand, Li Weiguo smiles faintly.

Our journey is to the stars and the sea!
