Building Chips in 1980

In 2025, top AI engineer Lin Shen is caught in an accident while testing his own quantum computer. When he wakes up, he finds himself in Qingyang County, a small town in southern China in 1980. All he has with him is a damaged smartwatch containing an offline encyclopedia and a basic AI assistant called Kunlun.

When AI thinking meets China in 1980, a transmigrated engineer uses algorithms to untangle the challenges of the era and chips to kindle the spark of reform. At a turning point in history, he writes his own life in code.
