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.

Society in the Nineteenth Century Parallel World

Caroline and Poul found themselves seated next to each other inside the comfortable confines of the carriage. They were accompanied by the monotonous clattering of hooves and the occasional rattle of the carriage. Caroline was eager to break the silence, so she started a conversation.

"If our paths had not crossed today, where would you be heading?" she inquired politely.

"I would be overseeing the production of the direct current electric motors at the Pearl Street Station," Poul responded.

"For Mister Russell, I assume? I've purchased a multitude of them to power an array of machinery, ranging from pumps and compressors to fans and blowers, mixers and agitators, conveyors, cranes, hoists, and centrifuges. Your invention has allowed my company to produce a vast quantity of goods, although I prefer induction motors as they are quieter and require less maintenance. Nevertheless, it's been beneficial," Caroline divulged.
