Creating an Industrial Empire in 19th Century Parallel World

In a tragic accident, mechanical engineer Poul Nielsen and his best friend, civil engineer Jonathan Axelsen, are killed when a truck crashes into the coffee shop where they were hanging out. 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. But that's not enough - they also want to build appliances and motors to make their business profitable. 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.

Explanation

Poul swallowed hard, his heart was suddenly heavy with the realization of the turmoil he and Sara had unwittingly become entangled in. Though the depth of their feelings for one another was undeniable, he couldn't ignore the consequences their love had brought upon them. Despite the challenges they faced, however, Poul was determined to honor the promise they had made to one another: to be together, no matter the cost. For now, though, he intended to keep their true identities concealed.

"I find it difficult to believe that Lady Ascart and I could have met before, as I have never left Avalonia since my birth," Poul said thoughtfully. "I presume the same is true for Lady Ascart, as her recent trip to Avalonia was her first?"

The Prime Minister nodded, his stern eyes watching Poul closely. "Indeed, that was her first time setting foot in your country."
