Mountains and Rivers Casting Tripod: Since 1928

In 2026, Gu Mingyuan, a forty-year-old industrial system engineer, died in an old factory renovation accident. When he woke up, he became the young owner of a small machine factory that was on the verge of bankruptcy in Shanghai in 1928. The new body is also named Gu Mingyuan. He is twenty-four years old and has not long returned from studying abroad. His father is seriously ill, the factory is in debt, and the workers are asking for wages. The sound of the Northern Expedition has just faded away, and Japanese forces are setting their sights on the Northeast. He remembers big events, but not every drawing; he understands the industrial system, but cannot obtain alloys, machine tools, and skilled workers out of thin air. He quickly understood: An advanced machine cannot save China. Only people, rules and industrial chains that can copy the machine can. From the beginning of unified thread and night schools, to the establishment of technical schools, rural credit cooperatives, public health networks and industrial standard systems; from rescuing engineering talents in the Northeast to organizing the westward migration of coastal factories; from wartime production, transportation behind enemy lines and famine relief, to suppressing inflation after the war and promoting peaceful reconstruction; to the popularization of education, energy layout, scientific research system and opening to the outside world - Gu Mingyuan spent fifty years to change China's destiny with generations of fellow travelers.
