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.

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 Birth of Wireless Communication

A few weeks later, despite Poul being busy with the presidential campaigns, he was still able to play his role in the company. On the third floor of the main office, a group of engineers surrounded a table, scanning the object that they have been working on for months. 

"So, that is the radio?" One of the engineers muttered, looking at its sleek wooden casing with awe. The radio prototype sat proudly in the center of the table, its design a testament to Poul's vision and the engineers' craftsmanship.

Poul nodded with satisfaction, his eyes fixed on the intricate details of the radio. The polished wood exuded elegance, while the carefully arranged knobs and dials hinted at its functionality. It was a compact device, designed to fit comfortably on a tabletop or shelf, with a built-in speaker and a small antenna extending from the top.

"Yes, this is our radio prototype," Poul replied a hint of pride in his voice.
