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.

The Reunion

April 2nd, 893.

Poul and Sara stood near the entrance of the main office, observing a Model J Duesenberg as it pulled up to the curb.

From the car, a well-dressed man in a black three-piece suit emerged. He adjusted his black top hat, casting a brief glance in their direction before offering a polite smile.

"Jonathan," Poul said, acknowledging his arrival.

Jonathan circled around the car and opened the passenger door, extending his hand to assist the lady inside. 

The lady who emerged from the car was none other than Caroline, Jonathan's wife. She wore a stylish, ankle-length dress that flowed gracefully as she stepped onto the sidewalk. Her hat matched the ensemble, adorned with a ribbon that fluttered in the light breeze. With a graceful nod of gratitude, Caroline accepted Jonathan's hand and stepped out of the car, her eyes lighting up as they met Sara's.
