Back to 1915: Building a Technological Empire

Mathematics PhD Gu Bai dies suddenly.

When he opens his eyes, he discovers he has been reborn in America in 1915 as the son of a wealthy businessman. China is weak, and Chinese people face widespread discrimination.

A hellish difficulty level from the start?

Gu Bai just smiles.

At the time, Einstein is racking his brains over relativity, while European scholars look down on Chinese people to their very core.

He goes straight up to Einstein: "Professor, there is a flaw in your field equations when it comes to the conservation of energy."

When his claim is challenged, he dazzles the entire room with Riemannian geometry.

When the authorities sneer and ask what Chinese people could possibly know about physics, he presents knowledge from the future at an academic conference and establishes his reputation in one stroke.

Einstein sees him as the one person who truly understands him, while Hilbert argues fiercely in his defense.

With undeniable ability, he carves out a path to the highest echelons of science for the Chinese during its golden age.

Science comes first, technology follows.

He invents all kinds of technologies from the future, step by step leading himself and his people to the top of the world.
