   It's hard not to recommend this book. The beginning is somewhat similar to another one I've read, but the later parts are completely different! The female lead is incredibly talented, purely talented, without any special abilities or cheat codes; she simply draws upon her past life's scientific research experience on her own! Another reason I like her is that my major is polymer science, haha, and seeing the research and development of polymer materials is really satisfying, much more satisfying than doing experiments myself. The female lead is strong in every aspect, comprehensively driving the country's scientific and technological development! Definitely worth reading!

    The female lead majors in mechanical manufacturing, and the story includes some practical experience in metalworking. There's no romantic pairing, and female characters outnumber male characters. The story leans towards realism, with women helping each other and some achieving self-redemption. Their ultimate goal isn't the love of a man; their suffering serves as stepping stones to success. There are very few male characters, most of whom are villains, but there are also a few normal men.

    The female protagonist transmigrates with a built-in garbage-collecting system, which clashes with the original owner's master thief system, resulting in mutual destruction. She then gives birth to a garbage-stealing system. She steals all sorts of other people's junk [laughing and crying emoji].
