The Fiery Era: Starting from Longxugou

Upon learning that the original owner's obsession was to go to university, Zhao Shi'an felt much relieved.

He might not be able to satisfy him in other areas, but when it comes to studying, although he's not very good at it, he considers himself to be fairly competent.

He started preschool at age 6 and first grade at age 7.

I had a good year in preschool. Starting from first grade, I had to go to school at 5:30 in the morning for two morning reading classes, and school ended at 7:00. I would go home for breakfast, and then continue to attend classes at 8:00. School ended at noon, and I would attend three more classes in the afternoon before going home.

In winter, morning reading still had to be held, only the time was delayed by an hour. This went on for the entire elementary school year, with the only consolation being the two weekends off.

In junior high school, morning reading remained the same, but evening self-study was added, and school often ended at eight or nine o'clock.

In high school, everything remained the same, but evening self-study sessions were extended to 10 p.m., and for senior year students, boarding students studied until 11 p.m.

Looking back on his reading experience, Zhao Shi'an couldn't help but marvel at how awesome his father was back then!

Unfortunately, his college entrance exam scores were average, and his English score dragged him down, so he only got into an ordinary university.

As a student trained by a modern education system, Zhao Shi'an believed that he would have no problem getting into university after arriving in this era.

However, before that, he needs to get used to traditional Chinese characters and the vertical writing style.

Without thinking, he picked up a pencil and began taking notes on the draft paper, mimicking the original owner's style.

Taking notes is not only for reviewing knowledge points, but also for adapting more quickly.

For Zhao Shi'an, traditional Chinese characters were not too difficult. He could roughly understand them by combining the context with some guesswork. However, he was not quite used to the writing style. After all, he had been writing horizontally since childhood and had little experience with vertical writing. The vertical writing style that most people are most familiar with is couplets.

The vertical writing that students are exposed to is mostly the daily updated timetable, calligraphy, and comic books on the blackboard.

But this is just a simple line or two. It's rare to see vertical writing in paragraphs like this in books and on teachers' blackboards, unless you're a lover or collector of ancient books.

Fortunately, he had transmigrated, and since the original owner was a high school student who had received education in this era since childhood, writing traditional Chinese characters and writing vertically had long been a habit.

With time and conscious practice, you can master it quickly.

However, he had to keep a low profile as much as possible before that, as there were many spies in this era, and if he acted abnormally, he could easily run into trouble.

With these thoughts in mind, Zhao Shi'an constantly reminded himself to be cautious.

After understanding his own situation, he focused on listening to the lecture and looking at the very basic chemistry knowledge in the textbook. After having the original owner's memories, he realized that although chemistry was also taught in junior high school in this era, it was taught to a very basic level.

When he was called on to answer the question, he hadn't even noticed that it was already the second semester of his first year of high school, and they were only learning about water electrolysis? Isn't that just middle school chemistry?

What puzzled him even more was that the first volume of chemistry had nine chapters, and he had only studied less than half of them. It seemed that he had only learned the beginning of the entire last semester! At this rate, he wouldn't even finish one book by the end of the first year of high school.

Looking at the extremely simple chemistry knowledge in the book, Zhao Shi'an had the idea of ​​skipping a grade. However, before that, he needed to find out what the other subjects were about. If they were all very basic, then he could try skipping a grade.

It's been 54 years now, and the difficult times are not far away. We need to prepare early. It would be best to take the college entrance examination this year and make some achievements while in school. During the difficult times, we can get some material rewards for our contributions, and our family's life will be better.

Huh, what's this?

As Zhao Shi'an was thinking about skipping a grade, a sudden idea flashed into his mind.

After carefully observing, I discovered that it was a large space with thousands of acres of fertile black soil. A small river flowed through the middle of the land, and at the end of the farmland was a small earthen slope with a farmhouse on it.

The courtyard has three large tiled houses. The courtyard is not small, about five-tenths of an acre. There is a spring in the courtyard, and next to the spring is a small pool about one meter square and fifty centimeters deep. The pool is already more than half full of spring water. Zhao Shi'an's consciousness landed on the water surface. He learned that drinking this spring water for a long time can strengthen the body and improve health!

After discovering the wonderful uses of the spring water, he immediately tried to use his mind to scoop up a handful of spring water and put it directly into his mouth.

With a thought, a handful of spring water instantly entered Zhao Shi'an's mouth. He swallowed it and found the spring water sweet and delicious, comparable to the hand pump well in his hometown. Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but after drinking the spring water, he felt very comfortable, and even the frostbite on his hands was not so itchy.

With this discovery, Zhao Shi'an felt much more at ease. Most of the water in the capital was bitter, but with the spring water in the space, he wouldn't have to worry about minor illnesses anymore. He could add some more to the water tank at home, and the taste wouldn't change much. It could also gradually improve his family's health. After all, the years of fleeing famine and barely surviving in Longxu Gully had already worn their bodies down. Drinking more spring water would nourish them and help them live a few more years.

After discovering the wonderful uses of the spring water, Zhao Shi'an became more and more interested in exploring space. After studying it for a while, he found that the flow of time outside the courtyard was actually ten times that of reality, while the courtyard itself was the same as reality. As for the three large tile-roofed houses inside the courtyard, they were static spaces.

After learning about the wonders of the space, Zhao Shi'an immediately had an idea.

He had originally wondered what major he should study in college. Now that he's discovered the cheat code, of course he should study agriculture.

Grain yields were extremely low in this era, with wheat and corn yields averaging less than 100 jin per mu. High-yield grain varieties were scarce, fertilizers were extremely rare, let alone high-standard farmland.

Agricultural breeding is not something that can be accomplished overnight; it often requires years or even decades of consistent effort, and there is no guarantee of success.

With space, one year's work can accomplish what others do in ten years. As long as high-yield and high-quality seeds are cultivated, many more people can be fed.

From the founding of the People's Republic of China to the present, it has only been a little over 70 years. The Chinese people have gone from not having enough to eat to becoming the country with the largest number of obese people in the world. After all, the huge population base is what it is.

All of this is inseparable from the efforts of the vast number of agricultural workers.

From the impoverished and materially scarce 1950s to the materially abundant modern era, it has taken more than 70 years. He has the potential; theoretically, he could achieve this effect in just over seven years.

Of course, this is just theory. The achievements we have today are the result of the joint efforts of countless predecessors.

It's a pity I'm not an agricultural student, otherwise, with the help of a spatial cheat, I'd be able to take off right here!

After a moment of regret, Zhao Shi'an wasn't too discouraged. Even if he lacked talent, with the help of his space, even if a year of research only amounted to two or three years at most, he could still become a top agricultural researcher.

When there was a shortage of grain in the country, he bred high-yield potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, and wheat; when there was a shortage of protein, he bred laying hens that could lay an egg a day; when there was a shortage of oil, he bred large, fat pigs with a high fat content.

In short, he cultivates whatever people lack, thinking what the people think and being anxious about what the people are anxious about.

In this way, the original owner's obsession with going to university is fulfilled, and the space can be developed and utilized to the greatest extent. Given time, he may well become a leading figure in academia!

The more Zhao Shi'an thought about it, the more he felt that this path had a bright future!
