In his previous life, Lin Guoqiang spent thirty years bedridden.
His wife remarried, his daughter dropped out of school, and he could not even turn over without help.
Someone had been poisoning his teacup for three years, and he never found out who it was before he died.
When he opened his eyes, it was March 15, 1980.
His legs still worked, his wife had not left, his daughter was only five, and the C620 machine tool that had nearly cost him his life had not yet suffered its accident.
His mind held thirty years of future mechanical technology, from Soviet-copy lathes to CNC machining centers, from scraping guideways to intelligent production lines. He remembered it all.
This time, no one would lay a hand on his family, and no one would cripple his legs.
The deputy factory director’s son wanted to trample him? He would crush him with technology. The imported machine tool the provincial experts could not repair? He would fix it in three days, with greater precision than when it was new. Foreign giants tried to lock down their technology? He would make it himself, until they could no longer afford to buy it.
Starting with a scrapped machine tool, he would build the nation’s most vital equipment.
In this life, Lin Guoqiang had only one goal: to ensure China’s machinery industry would never again be controlled by others.
