In the winter of 1959, aboard the train from Moscow to Beiping, the Soviet KGB searched every exchange student's luggage. They waved Lu Ze through. "Let the janitor go. He can't even hold a vernier caliper steady!"
No one knew that during his four years working night shifts as a handyman at the Bauman Military Engineering Academy, Lu Ze had awakened the [Industrial Reverse Engineering System]!
Touch a scrapped MiG engine's turbine blade, and a complete five-axis machining process would appear in his mind!
Wipe down the shredder in a top-secret archives room, and he'd instantly restore blueprints for a nuclear submarine, along with thirty years' worth of future upgrades!
He even casually worked out a perfect solution to the flaw in the Soviet Union's intercontinental missile gyroscope, a problem they had yet to overcome!
That year, the big brother was on the verge of turning against them! Experts were pulling out, blueprints were being burned, and a hundred heavy-industry projects were at risk of being abandoned and shut down!
As domestic military industry leaders stared at unfinished projects all around them and sighed in despair, and arrogant Soviet chief engineers sneered, "Without us, you can't even make a single aircraft screw to the proper standard," Lu Ze, assigned to guard the archives room, quietly set down his broom and picked up a piece of chalk. On the blackboard, he drew a complete blueprint for a heavy industrial machine tool that was thirty years ahead of the world:
"They burned the blueprints? No problem. I have something better!"
