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.

Creating an Industrial Empire in 19th Century Parallel World

Two months later, the Axelsen & Nielsen Air Brake Company and its subsidiary, the Axelsen & Nielsen Union Switch & Signal Company continued flourishing. With the fifteen million dollar investment from Caroline Dupont, Poul, and Jonathan started seeking opportunities to expand abroad.

Their main target countries are the British Empire, the German Empire, and the Republic of France. With a total steam locomotive of four hundred thousand, the prospect of high revenue is making them excited.

However, before jumping into that, Poul and Jonathan were settling matters in their headquarters. Particularly, the construction of the new office building.

In the main office, Jonathan was seated across from Charles McKim, one of the founders of the famous architectural firm in the United States of Avalonia, the Mckim Mead and White.
