Lu Xiao transmigrates into a siheyuan courtyard and becomes a notorious machine repairman. His home is bare, and his wife and daughter tremble with fear whenever they see him.
Faced with the contemptuous stares of the entire courtyard, he boldly smashes a liquor bottle and drops to his knees in front of his wife and daughter, swearing to change his ways.
Luckily, his Five-Metal Provenance Dimension awakens.
Rust removal, restoration, refining, and reconstruction: the scrap metal everyone else sees can become precision parts in his hands.
When a fake innocent shows up to mooch off him, he shuts the door and cuts off the food.
When the courtyard's big shot tries to steal his job, Lu Xiao produces a precision blueprint that catches the attention of the Ministry. His rival is left humiliated and sent to clean toilets.
Xu Damao tries to sabotage him behind the scenes, so Lu Xiao casually cuts off the supply of projector parts. Xu Damao can only stare helplessly at his broken machine when he goes to the countryside.
From scavenging at the scrap yard to repairing imported machine tools and solving industrial challenges, Lu Xiao protects his wife and daughter,
while turning countless scraps into pillars of national strength.
Years later, one domestically made machine after another rolls off the roaring production line.
Lu Xiao stands before a surging tide of steel, surrounded by the industrial legends he built with his own hands.
