    This is a Western fantasy novel similar to "Release That Witch," with a slightly innovative setting where the protagonist follows an electrical technology path. It doesn't feature endless, mindless inventions; instead, it's grounded in the fact that ordinary people can only possess limited professional knowledge, making it more relatable. It relies on information asymmetry, a technological advantage, and allies to overcome challenges. The female leads in the romance are intelligent and unique, and the power struggles and territory development are all logically structured. Those interested in related terms can check it out. However, those who enjoy mindless, overpowered protagonist stories should proceed with caution.

    🔥🔥🔥This one perfectly matches the theme, featuring an army!🍁🍁🍁 It's incredibly exciting and exhilarating, a high-quality zombie novel combining post-apocalyptic setting with Red Alert-style army building, hardcore data, and a protagonist with high intelligence. The protagonist brings Red Alert-style army building into reality, becoming the commander and sweeping away everything in his path. 🔥🔥🔥This is finally not a post-apocalyptic novel where the protagonist is framed by his girlfriend and reborn. The protagonist isn't a saint, but he also doesn't indiscriminately kill innocents. He's not cold-blooded or ruthless; he's very realistic because he's a human being with flesh and blood!! Gu Chengyuan obtains a war system as the apocalypse arrives and begins a frenzied army building spree, sweeping through the post-apocalyptic world with an iron torrent!
