During an experiment, Lu Chen accidentally activates the Dream Synchronizer, sending his consciousness crashing into an apocalyptic world with a level of technology similar to his own, but with its resources exhausted. In a life-or-death trial, he uses his gift for "technological resonance" to combine knowledge from both worlds and build vital survival gear. As he gradually uncovers the rules governing his transmigration, he saves the world’s genius engineer, Elena, during a disaster.
