Synopsis

Shanghai’s Zhabei District, 1927.

When Lin Zhenhua woke up, the smell of rust and machine oil filled his nose. His father’s machine shop had been reduced to three battered lathes, seven workers who hadn’t been paid, and a two-thousand-dollar loan-shark’s IOU. The creditor was coming to padlock the doors that afternoon.

But Lin Zhenhua had the industrial blueprints of a hundred years in the future in his head.

Metal suppliers, foreign trading firms, Japanese factories: no one thought much of this little workshop. Lin Zhenhua planned to start with a high-precision bearing sleeve, work with the toughest steel, and make the hardest money. In this turbulent era, he would build a mechanical empire of China’s own through sheer force of will.

This is not one man’s rebirth. It is the desperate counterattack of an entire nation’s industry.

Period-Era Novels, Technological Powerhouse, No Romance

Are there any novels where a modern person transmigrates into a period novel and uses modern technology to defend the country? Either a male or female lead is fine, and secret identities are okay too. No romance or family drama, just serving the nation and being doted on by the government!!
