A Thousand Years After the Trade, I Alone Usher in the Interstellar Age

Lin Qi unexpectedly obtains a door through time and space, connecting to a future world a thousand years beyond Blue Star.

Interstellar battleships, virtual universes, unmanned mechs, universal factories...

A vast market packed with countless cutting-edge technologies from a thousand years in the future opens its doors to him.

What? In the future, humanity has spread across the stars, and many merchants pride themselves on collecting antiques from the Blue Star era?

Come on, take a look at these magazines from my street stall... I mean, these rare books with a thousand years of history. Surely a few hundred thousand star coins isn't too much to ask?

What? In the future, genetic technology is everywhere, and purebred animals untouched by genetic modification are worth a fortune?

No problem, no problem! I'll just pop over to the bird and flower market. You can have as many as you want!

What? In the future, interstellar mining is so advanced that gold and diamonds are practically worthless, selling for the same price as steel and concrete?

Then... get me a hundred thousand tons of gold. I need something to wet my whistle!

With the door through time and space at his back and markets in two worlds at his disposal,

Lin Qi rakes in money in the future and rises to the top of the world in the present.

He dabbles in nuclear fusion, whips up some antimatter, and fixes a space elevator and an interstellar dock along the way...

The imperialists dare to get cocky?

I'll send in orbital-drop mechs to show them what I can do!

...At the meeting to establish the Human Federation, Lin Qi looks toward the leaders of the major powers:

"Why are you all looking at me? Say your lines!"

The bigwigs grumble among themselves:

"Mr. Chairman, it's hard for us to do anything if you don't speak first!"
