Taking Doubao Back to 1978? From the Start, I Fainted from Hunger, Then Rose with Heavy Industry

[1970s and 1980s] [Strengthening the Nation Through Technology] [Academic Prodigy] [Industrial Wish Fulfillment]

When engineering PhD Bi Xiangdong opened his eyes again, he had become an intern at Red Star Factory No. 3 in 1978.

From the start, it was hell mode: the factory was on the verge of bankruptcy, with no money, food, technology, or equipment, yet it was forced to take on an urgent armored vehicle upgrade project for the Southern Border.

Everyone was waiting for Red Star Factory No. 3 to go under.

Only Bi Xiangdong knew that this rundown factory would one day become the starting point of the Republic's industrial boom.

Because inside his mind, he had an offline version of Doubao.

Every question he asked drained his strength, but every technical problem he solved earned energy from the System. While everyone else relied on funding for their research, Bi Xiangdong relied on going hungry.

On his first day, he nearly starved to death in the cafeteria. A bowl of sweet soup from his colleague Gu Wenhui saved him. Nobody could have imagined that this bowl of sweet soup would save not only Bi Xiangdong, but also the lifeblood of the country's industry for the next forty years.

From upgrading armored vehicles to reverse-engineering turbofan engines; from domestic chips to financial retaliation; from a dying old factory to a world-class industrial giant.

Hunger gnawing at his belly, Bi Xiangdong turned a dilapidated factory into an industrial legend.
