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

As Poul and Jonathan left the New York Board of Transportation Building, the day's fading light painted the city in warm hues. The sun was setting, signaling the approach of twilight.

Walking down the grand staircase together, the two exchanged confident glances and smirked. Jonathan, eager to know what Poul thought, asked, "What do you think our odds are that the councilors will choose our proposal?"

Poul replied. "Our idea is definitely innovative, and they seemed interested. I think we're the only ones who presented a complete plan, from start to finish."

Jonathan nodded, his excitement tempered by reality. "That's true, but there are many factors they'll consider before making a decision. The most important is the cost. Fifty million dollars is a lot of money. But if they really want to improve New York's transportation system, then... they'll see the value in our proposal."
