On the third day after the supply cutoff, Shen Yan was laid off.
A green jade panel lit up: [Tech tree activated. I’ll point the way. You’ll have to walk it yourself.]
He thought this was a story about lithography machines.
Until he unlocked the first node and discovered
chips, computing power, artificial intelligence, controlled nuclear fusion, space elevators, interstellar fleets...
Starting alone amid a heap of scrap, he climbs Huaguo’s tech tree, one level at a time.
From a country held by the throat to the stars and beyond.
Those who break through barriers never make way.
