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

The engineers of the Axelsen & Nielsen Companies were gathered in the drawing room, intently watching a demonstration being conducted by Poul.

Poul had set up two sets of primary and secondary wires, each connected to voltmeters, with one set powered by a direct current source and the other by an alternating current source. The engineers were examining the apparatus closely, trying to spot any differences between the two.

It was Walter who noticed something unique about the readings on the voltmeters. He raised his hand and spoke up.

"I believe the voltmeter reading that is connected to the alternate current source moves left and right, while the voltmeter connected to the direct current source only moves once, when the switch is first turned on, and then stays at zero," Walter observed.

Poul nodded, impressed by Walter's sharp observation. "Excellent, Mr. Schneider. Can you explain why that is?"
