   Reader note

   "Infrastructure: I Build for My Motherland" Shen Tianzong was originally a builder of the FAST (Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope) project. Following his mentor, he dedicated his life to the nation's infrastructure development, remaining alone until his death, still striving for his mission. An accident transported him to a parallel world with underdeveloped infrastructure, making him a lonely and destitute young man, yet carrying the spirit of national infrastructure development etched into his bones from his previous life. In this world, the border regions are backward, engineering projects are lagging, and water resources are scarce. Even a decent reservoir is difficult to build. Unscrupulous foremen cut corners, oppress the people, and bad money drives out good, making the already difficult infrastructure development even worse. Just then, the national infrastructure system awakens—the final gift his mentor left Shen Tianzong, so that he could lead the unfortunate people of this land to retrace the path of national prosperity through infrastructure development. Once he enters the construction site, he leaves behind worldly concerns. Measuring life's path with a tape measure, drawing the soul of mountains and rivers with blueprints. Facing the yellow earth with his back to the sky, he toils year after year. They arrived in a desolate wasteland, and left with the lights of countless homes. Shen Tianzong, leading fifty skilled workers recruited through the system, carrying tools and buckets, full of energy, headed straight for the Shitou Township reservoir project. Facing the difficult demands of the scarred foreman, the deliberate fault-finding of the supervisor, and the shirking of responsibility by competitors, he steadfastly upheld quality above all else and integrity above all else. Every cubic meter of concrete, every vibration, every finishing touch strictly adhered to national standards, leaving no room for compromise. While others slacked off, he led the way, working late into the night; while others were perfunctory, he meticulously crafted each task; while others cut corners, he ensured every inch of the foundation was solid. From reservoirs to water conservancy projects, from rural roads to mountain infrastructure, from water source management to ecological restoration, Shen Tianzong and his brothers, with their ordinary bodies, built national treasures. They filled ravines with their own hands, irrigated mountains and rivers with their sweat, and upheld hope for underdeveloped regions with their unwavering faith. The scorching sun tanned their skin, the biting wind cracked their hands, and mud stained their clothes, but the light in their eyes never dimmed. "We're not doing this for money, but to ensure this land has water to drink, roads to walk on, and a future; to ensure that the nation's infrastructure covers every inch of its land!" When clear snowmelt flowed from reservoirs to thousands of households, when smooth roads connected the Gobi Desert with mountain villages, when projects rose from the ground, when the once backward borderlands were revitalized by infrastructure, Shen Tianzong finally understood: Infrastructure is the foundation of a nation; infrastructure workers are the soul of a nation's prosperity; to build for the motherland is a lifelong mission without regret! With a transmigrated body, inheriting the aspirations of his past life, he wrote the most passionate vow on this land: No regrets in this life for being born in China, and in the next life, I will still be an infrastructure worker!

She truly carves her way through the chaos of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a world dominated by men, which is quite satisfying. Everyone in this book is intelligent; it's not a mindless wish-fulfillment novel. I recommend you check it out.
