Some people say that time is like sand in your hands. The more you try to hold it tightly, the faster the quicksand will slip from your fingers. When I have nothing to do every day, I always lament that the years are long and it seems that there are always days that I can’t resolve.

.

But when you suddenly wake up and focus on some career, you will suddenly notice the beautiful hair on your temples, and deeply understand the meaning of life is short.

But I feel that time is like pearls in the sewer. It is completely impossible to define whether it is useful or useless. It only depends on whether to search for the value contained in it.

For example, the evil deeds in Crime Alley are followed by the appearance of Batman, the gunshots in Sarajevo are followed by the disintegration of the old empire, and it is difficult to predict what will happen after Mr. Ma's five lightning whips are fired.

All in all, there is no use of great skills. Even if the nose is bruised and the face is swollen, the two martial arts masters Lei Zhang and Ma Zhang have personally demonstrated what the moral bottom line is - although whether they have protected the moral bottom line or lowered it is still unclear.

There is just controversy.

Life goes on in such a calm manner, and for the first time I lamented how precious the quiet days are.

"Ah... I'm so sleepy... I still haven't finished half of the book..."

Having made the above meaningless thoughts, I am trying to restrain my random thoughts and focus on the book in my hand.

But the books in front of me are full of boring academic terms and definitions. Reading the whole book is like reading a bible. Whenever I am happy that I have mastered the previous knowledge after thinking hard, the new knowledge behind it will be forgotten.

Unexpectedly, it rubbed my face, reminding me that I was happy too early.

During the three days of retreat, I read introductory books on botany, electrical engineering, and alchemy day and night, and tried my best to master the prerequisite knowledge reserves of these subjects.

"System prompt: The colonist's learning progress meets the conditions and has completed botany research."

"System prompt: New garden tree crops are unlocked in the colonist system, please check it yourself."

Hearing the system sound that was like the sounds of nature, I finally let out a heartfelt sigh.

"Great!"

Three days, three whole days!

Do you know how I got here?

I originally just opened a book on alchemy, intending to learn about this technological power that sounded very spiritual. However, a percentage progress bar suddenly appeared in my field of vision, and the system also unlocked something called "Basic"

Research Station" thing.

"Item introduction: This is a necessary equipment for colonists to discover new things. It can provide research points for the technology being studied. If there are no residents to perform research tasks, or there is no simple research platform, then the technology being learned will not have any research progress.

."Research" can unlock more efficient ways of working and improve all aspects of residents' production and life."

What else is there to say? Of course, I will continue to read this book and find ways to advance the research progress in this part. I am confident enough to confirm that after the learning progress reaches 100%, it will be of great help to my current technological dilemma.

The first 30% and 60% progress were quickly passed. In just one hour, I finished reading this thin introductory book and advanced the research progress to 77%.

However, the follow-up research was a bit uncomfortable. It took an average of ten minutes to push forward a little further, and the time spent continued to prolong. By the time I reached 91% of the research, I was completely sure that I had fallen into a trap.

inside.

...Should this research system borrow ideas from Pinduoduo? Why does it become more difficult to cut to the back?

Slowly, I determined that after roughly understanding the content of the book in the first pass, it meant that my mastery of knowledge was close to 80%, and the remaining 20% ​​were all vague or difficult-to-understand parts of the book.

This forced me to be like a whack-a-mole, flipping through this book over and over again, and thoroughly absorbing the knowledge points in it, in order to make a little bit of progress. To put it bluntly, if I had this while reading,

With my hard work, I am at least a doctor or a lawyer now.

The research on botany was relatively low-level and was the first project I conquered. The other two were not so easy to learn. There was too much new content in it, and there was no gardening I had studied before to refer to, so Alchemy

Research in basic and electrical engineering seems far off.

But in the past few days, I have remembered that I can definitely ask professionals for these things that I have been thinking about to no avail!

I just need Sebala and Carter to explain it to me, and it will be solved! Why waste time here!

This kind of over-the-top spirit is called "brave and diligent" by Buddhists, but I feel like I'm stunned. I've hit a wall and still think about how to make a hole in the wall.

...Forget about making a hole, maybe I will still cover my head and think carefully about whether this door frame should be made of Chinese or European style.

…………

When I walked out of the room, the sun was just right. Although my face bore traces of my all-night cultivation, I still wasn't willing to have the sun shine on my face and butt at a 45-degree angle at the same time, so I decided to stay in the pasture.

Take a walk and relax.

I haven't had any rest during these three days. Activities such as giving lessons to Mei and Yu don't affect me. In my free time, I will also wander to the tavern to eat, or do some repair projects in the ranch.

I have completely maintained the edge defenses of the pasture in the past two days. The excavated earth has been leveled and filled, and weeds and trees in the land have been uprooted to prevent them from emerging to compete for the fertility of the land.

Speaking of the crops in the fields, the corn, eggplants, pumpkins, onions, and pineapples that were planted previously have grown vigorously to the point of maturity, and the plants are also covered with heavy fruits. The fields are full of harvest scenes.

The lush scene here is so greedy for the horses wandering in the grazing area. Every day these guys approach the railing eagerly and look there, as if they are going to bite the fruit if I neglect it.

Fortunately, there is a magical wooden fence in the way. Even if the height of the fence is only half of their legs, it effectively stops the restless animals.

Desire is the primary productive force. The kappa always hides in the fields for the past two days, looking at the growing crops, and then watering the cucumber fields with hope, and then leaves the land full of melon seedlings with satisfaction.

.

But I don't know how to tell it. It seems that it is unlikely that cucumbers will be harvested after the season. It seems that the crops planted at the same time are blooming and bearing fruit, but this cucumber field is silent. I guess there is no colonist system.

With added protection, it will only have the strength to grow vines.

Scenes like this with fields and ridges adding a long-lost atmosphere of prosperity to the long-desolated pasture. My life seems to be about to get better in this dense atmosphere, and the harvest wind will bring other good news.

This land.

Only then did I realize that the originally hot afternoon climate had unknowingly softened, and the hot weather had quietly changed. The heat absorbed by the earth throughout the summer had been fully absorbed by the plants, and the critical value would be crossed at any time.

Entering a golden season.

Summer is passing without even realizing it, and autumn seems to be coming soon.
Chapter completed!
