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 flight test of the aircraft was a resounding success for Poul and his team. To celebrate Timothy grabbed a crate of beer and handed them over to the team one by one.

"This is all for the success of our aircraft!" Timothy cheered. "Mr. Nielsen, I can't still believe that we can make such another miracle. You and your partner, Jonathan, are maybe the brightest minds of Avalonia…No! The whole world!" he exclaimed.

Poul could only smile at his fervent praises. It's true, since the last ten years he had single-handedly introduced modern technology to this world and gotten rich out of it.
