   Reader note

   The first book is about becoming a big shot through chip research, gaining attribute bonuses from items given by these big shots to improve one's academic research level. The second book is about earning foreign exchange through military reform, then returning to research one's own rockets. I recommend the second book more because it vividly portrays the hardships of that era. It truly depicts the difficulties and dangers at every step, yet that generation single-handedly upheld the backbone of the nation. By the way, the protagonist is a student of Qian Xuesen [smirk]. The only drawback of both books is the early stages; the initial introduction is indeed a bit weak. Be patient and read 30-50 chapters. For experienced readers over 15, I'll add another book to the list to ensure quality. The third book is one I read before, but I almost forgot about it after putting it on my bookshelf, haha. In the third book, the protagonist chooses to go crazy from the start, because being a heir isn't easy. So, the protagonist starts by beating up three ordinary people and wins! Then, by leveraging funds in the overseas stock market, he quickly grows into a billionaire and repeatedly targets important economic events of ordinary people, attracting the attention of some "perverted" ordinary people [crying with laughter]. (Based on this alone, I think everyone should take a look.) Here's the important part: The protagonist uses money to import workers below the "kill line" into the country, achieving "talent importation" [smirk]. Honestly, I think their current ratings are a bit low, but if they don't fall apart in the future, I think they can all collectively reach a 9.0!

    I highly recommend an absolutely fantastic historical novel about the grand projects of a great nation! Nothing beats the female lead's STEM knowledge! She treats enemy agents like donkeys in a production team, and utterly dominates foreign technology. The romance of national strategic importance combined with the delicate details of a historical novel is a must-read, even if it means staying up all night!
