You Were Supposed to Become a Top Student, So Why Did You Send an Aircraft Carrier into the Sky?

[Cutting-edge technology + rise of a great power + a profit-driven protagonist + nonstop thrills] "System, can I exchange points for money?"

"No. This System is designed to cultivate the greatest all-around scientist in human history..."

"No money? Then get lost. I'm busy delivering takeout."

"...???"

Lin Mo, Jiangcheng University’s famous "perpetually broke student," binds to the Great Power Heavy Industry System. Driven by poverty, he embarks on a research career with a decidedly unconventional style.

The System issues a mission: [Analyze the principles of fluid mechanics]

Lin Mo: "So I won't be late delivering takeout, it'd be perfectly reasonable to build a supersonic drone by hand, right?"

And so the military stares in deep thought at a "delivery vehicle" that can carry 200 pounds and evade radar.

The System issues a mission: [Research high-energy particle conduction]

Lin Mo: "To save a little on the dorm's electricity bill, it'd be perfectly reasonable to build a miniature controllable nuclear fusion reactor, right?"

And so the national power grid gapes at a "battery" plugged into a power strip, capable of supplying the entire city with electricity.

Years later, Lin Mo stands aboard the flagship of an interstellar fleet, facing a trembling alien civilization. He spreads his hands helplessly.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm really not some warmonger."

"I'm just a top student who wanted to make money. I accidentally took Earth into the interstellar age."
