The Huaxia 099 is struck by a Category 15 hurricane while enforcing its rights. Along with an aid freighter bound for Africa, loaded with oil-refining equipment, diesel engines, and high-yield rice seeds, it plunges into a parallel timeline and the waters off Hong Kong Island in the Qing dynasty! Captain Lin Lan and the crew use the freighter's small-scale refining equipment to produce diesel and break through the energy crisis. They then obtain crude oil from Nanyang, build machine tools and develop industry, and join forces with Foshan merchants to smelt steel and mass-produce rifles.
