Between Two Worlds: I Went to 1950 to Build a Machinery Factory

If you're planning to read this book, please be prepared. The first chapter of Volume 4 completely blew my mind. The protagonist travels to 1950, but Volume 4 has already progressed to 1957, which is eight years ago. The content of the first chapter of Volume 4 is: "[The protagonist inspects his factory and discovers that the products produced are of substandard quality.

Upon reaching Chapter Fourteen, I suddenly realized that you're going to inspect a factory, and a military one at that. Do you think the political commissars will investigate your family history for three generations? 😰 Can someone like you with no connections withstand such an investigation? Having no connections means you're an enemy agent!

Seeing the Mechanic, I thought it was some kind of superhuman class from StarCraft, the kind that can ascend to mechanical flight.

To avoid being banned, I hope they won't take action. I will omit some sensitive topics, or only write about technology and industrial production. There were many political problems in this era and the period that followed, so let's not discuss them.

I'm fed up with this protagonist. He's always worrying about all sorts of trivial things; he lives a life worse than a dog.

This book reminds me of the author's grandiose and absurd book, "1949: I Came From the Future". The protagonists of both books are ordinary young people, but they both have an idealistic belief. Both books are technical novels. This one is about the upgrading and progress of mechanical equipment from the perspective of a technician, while the other, set in 1949, is about selling "obsolete"…

The author is probably a Gen Z and has no idea what would happen to a random person discovered by the military during that period.

If there are things in modern times that, even after 20 years of development, are still similar to those in the original timeline, then what's the point of writing this book?

It was initially very good, with dialogue and insightful discussions. However, it later devolved into just ideas, constantly pointing out weaknesses and shortcomings... It felt a bit pretentious, like listening to a report. The biggest advantage of people from the future is that they have less information than people in the present timeline, and they know the future's trajectory.

The suppression of the protagonist is too obvious. The lack of heavy equipment manufacturing capability is a problem. They can produce machine tools themselves, so they shouldn't lack equipment; producing it is pointless.
