A year was neither long nor short.
In any case, Gu Xi had not felt that he had learned much before the time simply passed.
It was only after Gu Xi received Gong Lingyu's letter that he realized a year had slipped by without his noticing.

At the same time, because Gu Xi did not have suitable engineers, the locomotives and such used for the railways had not reached the Real World's level, where they could cross Star Domains.
