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.

The flight test of the aircraft was a resounding success for Poul and his team. To celebrate Timothy grabbed a crate of beer and handed them over to the team one by one.

"This is all for the success of our aircraft!" Timothy cheered. "Mr. Nielsen, I can't still believe that we can make such another miracle. You and your partner, Jonathan, are maybe the brightest minds of Avalonia…No! The whole world!" he exclaimed.

Poul could only smile at his fervent praises. It's true, since the last ten years he had single-handedly introduced modern technology to this world and gotten rich out of it. The total valuation of their company is nearing its 750 million dollar mark. They have clients from domestically and abroad, all are seeking their products as they believe it is superior to others.

Competing companies could only crane their neck to catch a glimpse of Poul's success.
