My Favorite Industrial Fiction

I like industry-themed stories, especially those about heavy industry. Over the decades of reform and opening up, China went from being a backward, impoverished industrial nation to catching up with the US, Japan, and Europe. Along the way, we were played, fooled, cheated, and discriminated against. We suffered setbacks, took wrong turns, and went down dead ends, but still grew stronger and made progress step by step, becoming the industrial powerhouse we are today. Behind this rise are countless engineers who poured their hearts and souls into their work. They are admirable, lovable people: knowledgeable, idealistic, and practical. This is a niche genre, and its technical details can make for a difficult read that feels distant from readers. Professionals may find these stories childish, while amateurs may find them incomprehensible. I expect most readers will skip the ones packed with technical references. Authors who write this kind of story probably keep going out of sheer passion, working away in solitude. I like industrial fiction. Some examples are Great Power Heavy Industry, The Power Dynasty, Super Energy Power, Industrial Overlord, The Materials Empire, Dream of Aviation, The Empire's Toys, The Eagle-Taming Aviation Industry, The Empire's Heavy Industries, Industry Reigns Supreme, The Great Railway Era, Reborn as the King of Energy, Reborn in the Age of Power, Super Industrial Overlord, The Hard Road to Manufacturing, Super Electric Power, The Industrial Power Empire, and Electric Power Overlord, among others.

Introduction: There are three types of academic masters. The first type is high-level academic masters, who are the top beings in their respective fields; the second type is legendary academic masters, whose influence far exceeds the fields they are involved in and has an impact on the entire era; the third type is god-level academic masters, who influence the development of the entire human civilization, such as Einstein and Newton. In addition, there is a kind of monster who is not only far ahead of the rest in the field of scientific research, but has also done things that ordinary people cannot do in other fields. Feynman was a Nobel Prize winner in 1965 and an excellent drummer; Niels Bohr, one of the greatest physicists of the 20th century, was also the goalkeeper of the Danish AB team; and of course, Schrödinger, in addition to the famous cat, he also had countless enviable affairs.
