Scientific Research Begins with Farming [The 1970s]

[Completed! Thank you to everyone who supported me!]

Shi Jiarui, a leading researcher from another world, is reborn as a young educated city-dweller with the same name.

Look at this impoverished backwater: the land is barren, and everyone is sallow and thin.

To keep from going hungry, the brilliant researcher has no choice but to take up work outside her area of expertise.

She repairs radios and tractors, improves agricultural machinery, and invents and creates with limited resources.

She leads the educated youths in studying and starting businesses, working to improve life for the people of the production brigade and commune, while creating convenient conditions for her own research.

Shi Jiarui goes further and further, and more smoothly, along the path from farming to scientific research.

In the end, she takes up once again the biological materials research she pursued in her previous life...

Coming soon: My next book will be Summoner's Modern Life.

Content notes: (1) The heroine is strong-willed. Getting rich is not her aim; her ultimate goal is the one stated in the blurb.

(2) The setting and some details are partially fictionalized.

(3) The author is not a professional. Technical material is glossed over in places, and some of the research is entirely fictional.

Theme: Scientific farming, strengthening the nation through technology
