Recast Thousand Lines

In 2015, Shen Zhu was kicked out of the state-owned machinery factory. His wife thought he was a coward, divorced and took away their daughter. He returned to the county in despair, guarding the dilapidated workshop left by his master, eating and waiting to die. Until that day, he found a yellowed notebook among his master's belongings. What the master left to him was not a legacy, but a system - a technical inheritance from another parallel world that recorded the wisdom of countless buried craftsmen. The recipes, techniques, and drawings that had been forgotten in this world flooded into his mind. But the system has a cold rule: every technological breakthrough must sacrifice something he cherishes most. For the first time, he sacrificed his resentment towards his ex-wife - he was relieved, but he also lost the unwillingness that drove him to counterattack. The second time, he sacrificed his guilt for his daughter - he still loved her, but he would never have that heart-wrenching longing for her again. The third time, Sacrifice relied on the Master - from then on, the Master's voice that sounded in the system became a stranger. The fourth time, he sacrificed his desire for comfort - he no longer felt tired, but he never stopped. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
