In 1932, the smoke of the "January 28" Songhu Anti-Japanese War had just dissipated, and Shanghai temporarily regained its appearance of reveling in wealth and prosperity. But everyone knows - this is just the calm before the storm.
In Shenyang, a coolie carrying bags at Shiliupu Pier woke up from a high fever and found that he had an "explosion system" in his mind. This mysterious system from the future will completely rewrite the trajectory of his life.
From dock coolies to Qinggang "tong" disciples, from iron factory apprentices to Shanghai's new generation of tycoons - Shenyang has risen rapidly in the mixed-race Shanghai with its forward-looking vision and the capabilities given by the system.
He improved the dock loading and unloading method, established an iron factory, and delivered supplies to the anti-Japanese forces; he made friends with patriots, assassinated traitors and lackeys, and protected the people under the iron heel of the Japanese invaders; he sent his brothers overseas to find a new way out for the poor and weak motherland.
The system can give him sophisticated equipment and advanced weapons, but it cannot give him the trust of his brothers, the affection of a confidante, nor the courage and belief that a nation needs in its darkest moment.
When the war resumes and the country's survival hangs on a thread, Shen Yang will lead the forces he has created to write a passionate legend in the most prosperous city in the East -
From Shanghai to the whole world.
From the awakening of a person to the rise of a nation.
