Modern knowledge crushes another world! Rise from the bottom, industrial power struggles, and steampunk! From having nothing to becoming king of the world!
Lin Mo, a modern engineer, transmigrates to a cyberpunk world of steam and roaring machinery, where he becomes a lowly laborer in the Rust Belt. Penniless, he puts his modern knowledge to use, starting by improving a tiny valve, and unexpectedly uncovers the secrets of the energy source known as phlogiston.
Teaming up with Ella, a down-on-her-luck mechanic, he establishes a workshop and rises rapidly with revolutionary phlogiston technology. But he threatens the profits of the monopolistic Phlogiston Consortium, bringing down a deadly crackdown. Navigating the worlds of nobility and finance, Lin Mo wields technology as a spear and business as a shield, igniting an industrial revolution.
From street brawls to global business wars, he unravels ancient mysteries and confronts the phlogiston crisis. In the end, he breaks the class monopoly, builds an energy empire of his own, and becomes the architect of a new world.
It's great, absolutely fantastic! I feel like this book will become a masterpiece later on, and it's pure steampunk style. 🥰
