Made in a Great Nation: 1987

Chen Yang, a senior engineer from the new century, transmigrates unexpectedly into the body of a government-sponsored student studying abroad in 1987.

The original owner, however, was branded a disgrace for staying overseas and secretly pursuing painting. After being sent back to China, he was immediately placed under investigation, with a bleak future ahead.

At the time, the country's industries were severely underdeveloped. Foreign powers had locked down technology for metallurgy, precision machine tools, and heavy hydraulic equipment, leaving gaps throughout the industrial supply chain and the nation at every turn beholden to others.

Everyone assumed he was useless, unaware that Chen Yang carried decades' worth of comprehensive knowledge of every field in modern industry in his mind.

He will break foreign technological monopolies and gradually fill the gaps in China's industry, building from nothing and shouldering the backbone of the nation’s industry.
