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.

James Russell Interview

A day later, in Pearl Street Station New York. James Russell's office was filled with journalists from different media companies. They stood in front of his desk, with notes and pencils ready to scribble down his words for publications. 

"So, Mr. Russell. May I ask why you filed a lawsuit against the Axelsen & Nielsen Electric Manufacturing and Distribution Company?"

"The reason why I filed a lawsuit against them is simple, gentlemen. They copied my ideas, the electric distribution system, and the light bulbs. They made a slight change to the design and called it their own. It's a shameless move."

"But, according to our reports in Pittsburg, the Axelsen & Nielsen Electric Company said that they are not using direct current, which is the system you are using. They are using alternating currents. So to help us understand the issue, may we ask what is the difference between your direct current and their alternating current?"
