1978: I Picked up a Future Machine Tool

In 1978, Zhou Xiangyang, an apprentice at the Red Star Machinery Factory, accidentally discovered a scrapped CNC machine tool from a future scrap station. There are no system rewards, no complete blueprints, and even no power. Core components of future devices are still rapidly failing. All Zhou Xiangyang can do is to dismantle the structure, understand the principles thoroughly, and then use the waste materials of this era, old-fashioned machine tools and the hands of old masters to create a simplified version that can be implemented. Starting from repairing an imported boring machine that had been idle for 27 days, he solved the shortage of materials, broke the technical blockade, and stepped into the wave of national industrial development amidst repeated failures and doubts. When the first future device completed its reality verification, the wreckage quietly disappeared, and the second piece of waste followed. Can the technologies that will be eliminated in the future become the starting point for catching up with the world in this era?
