Reborn in the 1980S: I Build a Lithography Machine by Scavenging

Top engineer Zhou Xingxing drops dead in front of a controlled nuclear fusion experiment rig. When he opens his eyes, he has been reborn in 1980 as an apprentice at Hongxing Machinery Factory, a worker on the verge of being fired. The factory is on the brink of bankruptcy, its equipment is outdated, and morale is in shambles. His fiancée runs off with all their belongings and another man. Faced with a hellish start, Zhou Xingxing calmly activates the Future Industry Sign-In System. He signs in beside a scrapped lathe and gets Master-Level Turning Skills and titanium alloy machining blueprints! He signs in at a long-sealed warehouse and gets the complete blueprints for a CNC machine tool! He signs in at the final assembly workshop and gets core technology for a fifth-generation fighter jet engine! Factory Director: “I asked you to fix a lathe. How did you make its surface mirror-smooth?” Chief Engineer: “Impossible! His theories are an entire era ahead of ours!” While Longguo is still fretting over its shortage of high-end bearings, Zhou Xingxing has already produced ceramic ball bearings. While the world is still congratulating itself on its export restrictions on lithography technology, Zhou Xingxing has quietly brought a nuclear fusion reactor online. Facing the world's astonishment, Zhou Xingxing spreads his hands. “I'm just an ordinary factory technician. I did all this for our beloved motherland.”
