Factory Director, We Don't Keep Deadweight at This Factory, Except You

[Academician reborn + industrial superpower + feel-good period drama + science and technology meets farming]

In 2130, the Earth’s crust split apart, an alien fleet invaded, and humanity teetered on the brink of extinction.

Jing Hao, an academician at the Longguo Academy of Sciences and the first chief engineer of the Nantianmen Project, died on his final night, surrounded by piles of blueprints.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back in 1988, at the rusty Hongyang Machinery Factory, in his fifteen-year-old body.

In his previous life, Factory Director Shi Tenghui had kicked him out. His father’s ribs were broken, and his whole family struggled to survive the bitter winter.

This time, carrying a century’s worth of future technological knowledge, he awakens the [God of Machinery] System: a touch reveals every ailment, a glance etches things into his memory forever, and anything can be taken in!

From repairing the Toyota Crown no one dared touch, to reporting a corrupt department head under his real name and winning a million-yuan reward; from snapping up stock subscription certificates that everyone else looked down on and amassing a fortune worth billions, to throwing money down in front of everyone to take over a steel mill, making four hundred workers kneel and shout, “Long live the factory director!”

“Shi Tenghui, this time I’ll make you pay back every last thing, with interest!”

“I’ve got all the blueprints for the Nantianmen aerospace carrier right here in my head. But first

“Let’s turn this pile of scrap metal into an unstoppable steel army!”
