In 2050, aliens invade Earth and begin by destroying the quantum engine laboratory they see as a threat. Chief engineer Zhao Zhe dies with regrets and is reborn in 2026. At the time, China’s aviation engine industry is in dire straits. Foreign giants monopolize fan blades, and high-end equipment is under a total embargo. Technological bottlenecks have the country’s aviation industry firmly shackled. The struggling Jiangcheng Aviation Parts factory is on the verge of bankruptcy and default, with every employee facing unemployment, while domestic turbofan technology has been stagnant for years.
In his previous life, he watched China’s aviation engine industry stagnate amid decades of cutthroat competition, never breaking through Western barriers. The quantum power project died before it could begin, and China’s power industry missed its chance to seize the era. Reborn, Zhao Zhe makes a solemn vow: defy fate, fill the gaps in the country’s aviation capabilities, and overturn the global power landscape!
Facing a factory full of slackers, mockery from competitors, pressure from major corporations, and a foreign embargo, Zhao Zhe draws on decades of advanced industrial technology from the future and tackles the challenges from scratch. He improves manufacturing processes and successively cracks the foreign monopolies on turbofan blades, combustion chambers, and core turbine technology, successfully building the first fully domestically made small turbofan engine and breaking a century-long technological blockade.
Once firmly established, he continues to upgrade his work, solving the core challenges of medium and large turbofan engines one after another. He builds a top-tier domestic large turbofan engine **at least ten years ahead of the rest of the world**, leading an unremarkable parts factory to the forefront of global industry.
He breaks through material constraints and patent blockades, bringing a next-generation quantum drive to life from scratch: fuel-free, hyper-maneuverable, and capable of extraordinary endurance. A new era of propulsion begins.
From an ordinary technician at a small factory on the brink of collapse, Zhao Zhe transforms into a nationally renowned chief scientist and the inventor of the quantum engine.
Realistic, very realistic
