1976: Rising in Military Industry from the Public Security Bureau

In 1976, Qian Guoxuan, an apprentice at the Hongqi Machine Tool Factory, found a bloodstained classified document pouch on his way home from work. Inside were blueprints for an improved Type 56 semi-automatic rifle. The seventeen-year-old was so frightened during questioning that he died on the spot! When he opened his eyes again, his soul had been replaced by that of a high-ranking arms-industry magnate from 2066, paralyzed from the neck down. With him came a roomful of future military-industry materials. But each blueprint he used came at the cost of some of his memories from his previous life. Beginning with the first blueprint he drew for the Public Security Bureau, he paid with his memories. Step by step, Qian Guoxuan ignited China’s military industry.
