Synopsis

Engineering PhD Chen Mo opens his eyes and finds himself back in the resource-strapped 1970s. The mud-brick house in the northern countryside is drafty, the watery porridge never fills anyone up, and troublesome relatives keep making life difficult. His grandmother favors his second uncle’s family, letting them take all the good things while dumping every hard job on Chen Mo’s family. Just as Chen Mo is at a loss, the Technology Tree System activates. Touch any mechanical or electrical device, and he can unlock the corresponding technical knowledge! He repairs an old Hongxing radio and earns his first income; gets the commune’s discarded generator working again, astounding the entire production team; modifies farm machinery and studies circuitry. While everyone else works themselves to the bone for work points, he uses his skills to forge a way forward. Note: This story takes place on a parallel Blue Star, and some elements, such as locations and brands, are fictional. Don’t worry about the details: the author has based everything on real-world settings!

Tech Novels About Someone Advancing Technology Alone With a Golden Finger

No pretentious face-slapping stories, and nothing involving the state. With technology stories, the moment the state gets involved, everyone suddenly loses their intelligence. So I want stories that don’t involve the state.
