1984, Spring.
The country was at a critical juncture in its economic development, with everything needing to make way for the economy.
Against this backdrop, the major third-tier military factories found themselves in increasingly difficult straits.
All the once glorious military industrial enterprises of Yan Country were now facing unprecedented challenges.
Faced with this grim situation, the higher-ups, after careful deliberation, decided to take a bold step.
They would select a group of talented graduates from various universities to take charge of the third-tier military factories.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!"
Lin Chenran coughed violently, taking in his surroundings.
The walls around him were a faded off-white, the white bedsheets were somewhat jarring, and the air was thick with the smell of disinfectant.
"This..." Lin Chenran frowned, muttering to himself in confusion, "How did I end up in a hospital?"
He looked around, trying to find answers, but the scene before him felt both unfamiliar and strangely familiar.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind: this didn't seem like an ordinary hospital room.
Lin Chenran began to examine the hospital room more closely. He noticed there was no air conditioning, nor was there an old television set with only a few channels.
A sense of unease immediately welled up within him.
Suddenly, a torrent of memories surged into Lin Chenran's mind like a tidal wave.
In an instant, Lin Chenran felt an unprecedented pain, clutching his head tightly and groaning in agony.
After a while, he began to adapt and process these incoming memories.
Lin Chenran murmured, "Unbelievable, I've actually become one of the lucky ones to have transmigrated."
"Huh? Where's the system?"
Lin Chenran suddenly realized something was missing.
"Don't all transmigrators come with a system?"
So, Lin Chenran began to try various methods to awaken the system. He shouted, recited incantations, and even made strange gestures, but received no response.
"Perhaps the system needs some time to wake up. I'll wait patiently," Lin Chenran calmed himself.
Then, Lin Chenran organized his thoughts.
His previous self had graduated from Yan University, filled with passion, and responded to the country's call to participate in the reform plan for third-tier military factories.
Lin Chenran before taking office: I am confident that I can help the 077 Machinery Military Factory (Laiyang Military Factory) overcome its difficulties, make it flourish, and become a benchmark in the military industry.
Lin Chenran after taking office: Who the hell signed me up for this?
After Lin Chenran took over the 077 Machinery Military Factory, various problems followed one after another.
And so, Lin Chenran was directly angered into the hospital.
The biggest problems facing the 077 Machinery Military Factory were: the loss of personnel, outdated factory equipment, and the cancellation of previous small projects by the military.
The 077 Machinery Military Factory had lost all channels for obtaining funds.
The Yan Country military was also helpless; to make way for economic development, their budget had been cut by more than half.
This budget cut had put many third-tier military factories at risk of closure.
The 077 Machinery Military Factory was also affected.
Several small projects were canceled by the military.
Due to the lack of sufficient funds to support the operation and development of the third-tier military factories.
The higher-ups decided to take a risky, unconventional approach—selecting a group of talented graduates from various universities to take charge of the third-tier military factories.
The primary problem now facing Lin Chenran was the financial situation of the 077 Machinery Military Factory.
There was a severe shortage of funds on the books.
They couldn't even pay the factory employees' wages on time.
Even more pressing was the fact that if the funding issue wasn't resolved promptly, the relevant certificates for military production and manufacturing might be revoked by the higher authorities.
Without new orders from the military, there would be no work for the employees, and consequently, no new products would be created.
The 077 Machinery Military Factory had fallen into a vicious cycle.
Just as Lin Chenran was at a loss, a cold, mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his mind:
[Ding-dong! Congratulations to the host for successfully transmigrating to 1984 and awakening the Cross-Dimensional Exchange System.]
[Upon the initial awakening of this system, the host is rewarded with a precious opportunity for dimensional travel.]
The sudden system notification sounded like beautiful music from heaven.
made Lin Chenran feel incredibly invigorated and excited!
His golden finger had finally appeared. It was true that web novels weren't lying; a golden finger was essential for transmigration!
"Cross-Dimensional Exchange System?" Lin Chenran's mind was filled with questions.
"How does it work?" he asked, confused.
[Literally, it means you can travel to other dimensions and exchange items with the natives there.]
Lin Chenran was a bit confused and continued to ask, "What do you mean by other dimensions?"
[Since the dimensions you travel to are random, you might go to a future world, or you might go to the world of another anime. Of course, once both parties are familiar with each other, Host, you can directly summon them to exchange items.]
Lin Chenran suddenly understood. "So that's how it is!"
Although simple, it was very practical.
Thinking of this, Lin Chenran instantly became excited.
Since that was the case, there was no time to delay. Lin Chenran unhesitatingly decided to use his precious first opportunity to traverse dimensions.
[Host, do you wish to initiate dimensional travel?]
A cold, mechanical voice sounded in his mind.
[Yes or No?]
"Yes!"
Lin Chenran shouted with a firm tone.
Following Lin Chenran's response.
A powerful force swept over him instantly, making him feel dizzy and disoriented.
It was as if the whole world was spinning, and his vision became blurry.
When Lin Chenran opened his eyes again, he was astonished to find that he was no longer in the hospital.
The surrounding environment had completely changed, and it was completely unfamiliar.
This was too magical!!! Lin Chenran's eyes widened as he looked at the scene before him in disbelief.
"This..."
"Oh my god, isn't this the world of Doraemon? The familiar streets, the familiar houses."
Lin Chenran was completely astonished.
Immediately, Lin Chenran organized his thoughts and recalled Nobita Nobi's home address.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Chenran arrived at Nobita Nobi's house.
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded.
He looked down and saw the familiar blue and white cat-like robot, the familiar Nobita.
"Doraemon, please, do you have any gadgets that can teach those hateful Gian and Suneo a lesson?"
Nobita Nobi pleaded.
"No!"
"Nobita, there's no such gadget, don't even think about it!"
Doraemon refused righteously.
"Fine if you won't lend it to me, I don't care anyway!"
Nobita Nobi then left his second-floor bedroom to seek comfort from his future wife, Shizuka.
A sense of familiarity washed over Lin Chenran.
Every time Nobita was bullied by Gian and Suneo, he would go to Doraemon to plead and then get a gadget.
"Doraemon?"
Lin Chenran called out softly.
