Reborn in the 1970s: From the Start, I Handed Over Controlled Nuclear Fusion

Mechanical engineering PhD Zhou Xingxing wakes up to find himself a notorious apprentice at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill in the 1970s.

From the start, a mistake on the job leaves the factory’s only German-made precision machine tool, the one thing keeping them afloat, wrecked. He faces the grim prospect of being denounced by the entire factory!

Everyone curses him, the factory beauty looks down on him, and his iron rice bowl is about to shatter.

Just as all hope seems lost, the [Future Technology Sign-In System] activates!

“Ding! Sign in before the [scrapped machine tool]. Congratulations, Host! You’ve obtained [Master-Level Fitting Skills] and [Complete Blueprints for the German-Made S-195 Machine Tool, Plus an Ultra-Precision Upgrade Plan]!”

While everyone waits to laugh at him, Zhou Xingxing crafts precision components by hand that are generations ahead of their time, bringing the scrapped machine tool back to life and boosting its precision tenfold!

The veteran technician stares in disbelief. “Those skills... Did a god descend to earth?”

Factory director Zhao Weilong is overjoyed. “Zhou Xingxing is a treasure to our factory! No, he’s a treasure to the nation!”

Starting with machine-tool repairs, he upgrades production lines, develops new materials, builds the first domestically made engine, and delivers black-and-white television technology... While foreign experts congratulate themselves on our “backward” industry, Zhou Xingxing quietly pulls out blueprints for a lithography machine.

At that moment, the whole world trembles!
