Made in a Great Nation: 1987

Chen Yang, a senior engineer from the new millennium, accidentally transmigrates to 1987 and into the body of a government-sponsored international student.

The original owner, however, had stayed overseas and pursued painting without permission, earning a black mark on his record. After being sent back to China, he was immediately placed under investigation, with a bleak future ahead of him.

At the time, China's industries were underdeveloped. Foreign technology monopolies held back metallurgy, precision machine tools, and heavy hydraulic equipment, leaving gaps throughout the industrial supply chain and the country vulnerable at every turn.

Everyone thinks Chen Yang is useless, but no one knows that his mind holds decades' worth of comprehensive knowledge across every field of modern industry.

He breaks foreign technology monopolies and fills the gaps in China's industry, one step at a time. Starting from nothing, he shoulders the future of Chinese industry.
