Da Gan, Changfeng City, Qingshan Academy, Library.
With the Virtual Heavenly Dao Net, which contained various uploaded books, fewer people came to the library. At this moment, the library was quiet and serene, with only the occasional rustling of turning pages and the soft scratching of writing.
On the second floor of the library, a plain-looking young man in a green robe sat by the window, carefully savoring the book in his hands. He handled it with such care, as if it were a precious treasure.
Besides the book in the young man's hands, several other books of varying thickness were scattered on the wooden table before him. Some were as thick as a finger, others nearly an inch thick. Many of these books were open, their pages resting face down on the table.
The young man would occasionally flip through the pages of the book in his hands, then lift his head to ponder deeply.
This young man was Lu Mingyuan, who had come to research information.
Since Lu Mingyuan was about to create a supernatural power related to Agrarianism, he felt it would be best to start with the 'plow'.
There was actually a reason for choosing the 'plow'.
Firstly, there was the issue of identity.
Lu Mingyuan's family were ordinary commoners. Apart from Agrarianism, they had little connection to other schools of thought. Logically, Lu Mingyuan wouldn't have much relevant knowledge, so the possibility of starting from another aspect was slim.
In fact, the knowledge learned in the academy could be used to create supernatural powers. It wasn't impossible, but if he wanted to sell them, they needed to be innovative. Without innovation, they wouldn't sell.
After all, with so many graduating scholars each year, they had already explored all the feasible paths, leaving few loopholes.
Secondly, Lu Mingyuan was a transmigrator, possessing a knowledge system different from this world. Logically, he should be able to create many unique supernatural powers, much like the "Chicken and Rabbit in the Same Cage" problem.
However, Lu Mingyuan wanted a normal life. He had decided to make his persona in this world more ordinary and unremarkable. As for other attention-grabbing matters, he would leave them to "Anonymous."
Even if something happened in the future, it would have nothing to do with him, Lu Mingyuan.
Besides, who would have thought that the famous "Anonymous" would be an ordinary commoner from the Agrarian school?
Honestly, Lu Mingyuan believed that as long as he didn't expose himself, no one would be able to find him.
Another reason was that, after Lu Mingyuan's investigation, supernatural powers related to "farm tools" had indeed not yet appeared.
The Mohist school had supernatural powers to summon weapons, but those were swords, hammers, spears, and the like.
In terms of farm tools, there were none like winnowing baskets or sieves. He didn't know if they were unusable or if no one had thought of them, or perhaps they considered it not worthwhile.
After all, these farm tools could be made easily and were found everywhere, so there was indeed no need to turn them into supernatural powers.
Besides these, there was actually one last reason: cultivating more land would yield more grain, which could feed more people. With more people, Lu Mingyuan's ideals could be realized.
Moreover, regardless of whether productivity increased in this world, having more cultivated land and more grain would lead to greater stability.
At this moment, Lu Mingyuan was reading "Lei Si Jing," written by Lu Guimeng, which detailed the structure of the curved-beam plow.
The curved-beam plow consisted of eleven components: the ploughshare, plough wall, plough bottom, pressing chisel, ce e, plough arrow, plough shaft, plough tail, plough review, plough build, and plough disc.
While looking at the structure of the curved-beam plow with his eyes, Lu Mingyuan was also constructing these components one by one in his soul space. After assembling them, he conducted tests and improvements, attempting to make them more reasonable.
As a descendant of the Agrarian school in his previous life, Lu Mingyuan had seen modern plows. He wanted to make the curved-beam plow more labor-saving, which would make it sell better, wouldn't it?
Moreover, if he really succeeded, he might even be able to become a rising star in the Agrarian school.
"The curved-beam plow requires an ox to operate. I might as well try making a hand-pulled one."
Standing in his soul space, Lu Mingyuan murmured as he looked at the assembled curved-beam plow before him.
"The curved-beam plow also has its applicable scenarios. At least after seedlings or wheat seedlings are planted in the field, it's not very suitable for oxen to enter. At this time, the hand-pulled plow can come into play. Moreover, there are no hand-pulled plows in this world yet, so this might be a breakthrough."
Although Lu Mingyuan didn't expect to earn luck points by manifesting this plow supernatural power, he still had to at least recover the cost.
"With the innovation of the hand-pulled plow, I should be able to sell a few more copies then."
Lu Mingyuan was somewhat uncertain.
"It should be fine," Lu Mingyuan reassured himself.
Furthermore, the luck points earned from this supernatural power would be his entire visible assets in the future, and the capital for marrying Jing Zhi. Although Jing Zhi herself might not care, everyone hopes their partner can be better.
Besides, after marrying Jing Zhi, he couldn't let her eat coarse food every day. He needed something to guarantee their future life.
Thinking of this, Lu Mingyuan felt even more that he should construct this supernatural power properly and not be perfunctory.
Afterward, Lu Mingyuan put down the "Lei Si Jing" in his hand and picked up another book, "Wang Zhen's Agricultural Book," to read.
Looking at the other books on his table, they were all related to agriculture: "Tiangong Kaiwu," "Qimin Yaoshu," "Fan Shengzhi's Book," "Complete Book on Agricultural Administration," "Nong Sang Jiyao," "Shou Shi Tong Kao"...
The library had quite a complete collection. It saved Lu Mingyuan a lot of effort.
And he didn't know why, but although these books appeared in this world, the parts involving politics and dynasties had all changed, becoming local. However, the technical aspects had not changed much.
After a long while, Lu Mingyuan put down the classic masterpieces in his hand and rubbed his temples.
"Finally done!"
At this moment, Lu Mingyuan had already created all the farm tools that could be made from these books within his soul space.
Therefore, Lu Mingyuan's soul space now resembled an agricultural tool exhibition hall, except that these tools were all ancient, with no trace of modern machinery.
Lu Mingyuan looked at the cluttered soul space. With a thought, he swept away all the farm tools except those related to plows.
The current focus was on researching the plow.
"To sell well, the plow needs to have more functions and be more practical, without any other miscellaneous things."
"Yes~ It needs a function to adjust the plowing depth."
"It would be best to be able to adjust the angle of the plow blade, and the length and angle of the plow shaft."
"Mm~ We also need to calculate what kind of curved surface angle is best and most labor-saving."
In the end, Lu Mingyuan thought of the ideas he used when writing computer programs.
"Why not make each component adjustable? That would save a lot of trouble."
"It's just a bit troublesome, requiring a redesign."
With a direction for improvement, Lu Mingyuan began to burn Human Luck points to speed up his thinking and accelerate his thought process, hoping to design the supernatural power in his mind as soon as possible.
