In 1889, Xie Chang'an, whose soul originated in the modern era, opened his eyes to find himself as Pedro, the turbulent crown prince of the Brazilian Empire. The military's guns were already pointed at the palace, and the tide of republicanism surged through the streets. Facing this sinking ship, Xie Chang'an knew that history had given him only a dozen days.

But what he brought with him was a century's worth of insight and an iron fist.

He smiled and said to the rebel general, "You want to be president? Very well. But before that, let's first usher in an era for Brazil..."

From suppressing rebellions and reforming domestic affairs to forming alliances and expanding ruthlessly, Uruguay, Argentina, Peru… South American countries have bowed down one by one to modern military and diplomatic tactics.

When the new empire is proclaimed in Rio de Janeiro, the whole world will hear its declaration:

"The old world order is corrupt. From this day forward, the scepter of civilization shall be held by the new world!"

When a 21st-century financial history apprentice awakens in an accident, he finds himself a member of the heart of the British Empire in 1890—Prince Arthur, grandson of Queen Victoria. He possesses knowledge from the future, yet is seen as a maverick by the ancient aristocratic system. A meticulously planned "gilding" and "exile" transports him to the far reaches of the world—Australia. This is a forgotten corner of the empire, a wild continent brimming with potential, comprised of six independent colonies. Faced with a fragmented colony, a backward industrial base, and the looming shadow of world war, Arthur knows this is the perfect stage for him to change his destiny and alter history. He mines for gold, unifies the railways, and establishes a federation, tightly binding the continent together. He "invites" the impoverished genius Tesla from America to power the entire nation with alternating current; he defies opposition to build a Pacific Fleet surpassing the "Dreadnought"; he plans ahead to avoid the Great Depression, making Australia a safe haven for global capital. When the flames of two world wars shattered the old world order, Arthur and the Australian Empire he built were no longer vassals of an empire, but rather players on the chessboard of global dominance. This is a legend of building a colony into the world's leading power from scratch, using advanced knowledge to propel the wheels of history. A new era belonging to Arthur and to Australia is about to begin.

Chen Xing, who was arguing with netizens, was stunned. Good news: He'd transmigrated! Bad news: He'd transmigrated to Tsarist Russia! Damn it! I'll test whether this netizen's claim of Russia being able to dominate Europe is true! Good news: I'm the heir to the throne! Bad news: Seems like I can't win... Chen Xing plans to prioritize technology. Bad news: Chen Xing is a complete novice; he doesn't know how to develop technology. Good news: The wife sent by Prussia seems quite capable. ---------- Pure transmigration without a system. Relying on his knowledge of European history and advanced technology, he builds a powerful nation and dominates Europe. This is the eve of the Industrial Revolution, the eve of a war-torn era in Europe. Watch the protagonist pave his way to the end, leaving others with no path to follow.
