The Auphole in the Siheyuan

I've rarely seen a protagonist in a rebirth story buy antiques and then try to sell them. They can't sell them early on, they don't care about them later, and they easily forget about them, leaving plot holes unresolved. It's not satisfying anymore.

This book should have ended in chapters seven or eight. Back then, what channels did an ordinary technician like you have to learn about the situation in America? To sit in a courtyard house and talk about America all the time... Are you tired of living?

They're doing things haphazardly, without any sense of logic whatsoever! A technician at a steel rolling mill suddenly had a brilliant idea: I'm going to design an oil well machine! What's even more amazing is that he got the entire department involved to help! Damn, all the machines in your factory are old and broken down. Why don't you design a new machine for your factory?

With connections and knowledge, even if you don't pursue a career in technology, you can export technological products to earn foreign exchange. You'll never be afraid of suppression. Plenty of people will protect you!

Who exactly are these 💩 people reading this kind of courtyard house-themed book?

The chapters about buying antiques are unnecessary; just focus on technology.

I won't comment on the earlier points, but let's just say the protagonist invented the converter. The authorities won't rest until they thoroughly investigate everyone in the courtyard. The country itself won't be at ease until all destabilizing factors are eliminated. The better you perform, the less right you have to choose your work location; you're told where to go and you have to go.

The first chapter is already poisonous. It's one thing for a movie projectionist to run into the technical department, but he also manages to draw hatred to the protagonist, who shamelessly accepts it. Goodbye!

In those days, if someone with good financial means didn't get married, they were either considered to have ideological problems or to be a spy.

If you're going to do scientific research, just focus on steel rolling. What are you doing working on those nodding donkeys? Have the technical staff at the steel rolling mill ever been to an oil field? This is a classic case of neglecting your duties!
