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.

"Before we proceed to the weapon's factory, there's someone I need to meet," Poul stated, striding alongside Jonathan.

Curiosity piqued, Jonathan inquired, "Who might that be?" However, as he observed the path they were taking, realization dawned on him. "Ah, I understand now."

The pair of industrialists entered the clinic, instantly assailed by the overpowering smell of disinfectant. The nurse who passed by them noticed the founders and paid her respects.

"Uhm, Mr. Nielsen, Mr. Axelsen. It's an honor to have you here," the nurse greeted them. "Are you perhaps looking for someone?" 

Poul nodded politely, acknowledging the nurse's greeting. "Where is Doctor Olsen?"

Poul's question caught the nurse off guard for a moment, but she quickly composed herself and replied, "Dr. Olsen is on her rounds at the moment. She's on the second floor if you two want to find her."

Poul thanked the nurse for the information and turned to Jonathan with a nod.
