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.

That Weapon?! In this era?

Morgan and Sherman sat across from each other, sipping the hot tea that Amelia had prepared for them. The fragrant aroma of the steaming beverage filled the room, and they both savored the comforting warmth of the cups in their hands. Without Amelia's timely intervention, the tea would have gone to waste as they had been on the verge of leaving before she managed to prepare it.

As the meeting between Axelsen & Nielsen Air Brake Company and the two gentlemen drew to a close, Jonathan's acceptance of a lucrative seven-million-dollar contract to design and build a new weapon brought it to an abrupt end. Morgan and Sherman quickly made their exit, leaving Poul and Jonathan to exchange wary glances.

Poul appeared to be trying to process Jonathan's sudden move, and he voiced his concerns. "I think we should look into this thoroughly, Jonathan. Why did you accept their offer when we're not an arms manufacturing company in the first place?"
