Suddenly, they find themselves transmigrated to a parallel world in the late 19th-century country of Avalonia. In this world, they'll need to work tirelessly to earn enough pennies to survive. But they won't settle for just getting by - they want to become the Edison, the Chrysler, the Rockefeller, the Carnegie, the Ford, and the Westinghouse of this new world. In a world without electricity, Poul and Jonathan decide to start an electric power distribution company.

They see the opportunity to revolutionize ground transportation, and they start an automotive manufacturing company. They tackle huge infrastructure projects such as metro stations, skyscrapers, bridges, tunnels, and dams by starting their own civil engineering firm. They even invest in the arms manufacturing industry. But the road to success won't be easy. Fierce competition awaits them, as robber barons are willing to do everything to crush their competitors. Predator against predator, and government intervention. Poul and Jonathan must use all their engineering expertise and business acumen to navigate this treacherous landscape. Join Poul and Jonathan on their journey to become the wealthiest men in the world in a parallel universe where anything is possible.

The Gift

September 18th, 883. 

Poul stood at the front of the room, a chalkboard behind him covered in equations and diagrams. A group of new workers sat in front of him, listening attentively as he explained the process of heat-treating chromoly.

"Now, the first step in the process is to heat the chromoly to a specific temperature," Poul said, gesturing to a chart on the chalkboard. "This is called the austenitizing temperature, and it's the point at which the chromoly begins to transform into an austenite crystal structure."

The workers scribbled notes furiously, trying to keep up with Poul's detailed explanation. He knew that the process of heat-treating chromoly was complex, and he was determined to teach them everything they needed to know before they set out to the field.

For him, it is important that the workers have a conceptual understanding of their work so that if an unexpected result comes in, they can still analyze it.
