The Farmer's Path to Technological Advancement

Preorder: Eighties Struggle. Add it to your favorites if you like it! "Ding! The farm's corn needs fertilizing." Nan Man: You want an engineering PhD to make organic compound fertilizer? Are you even human? System: Nope. Nan Man wants to roll her eyes, but when she thinks of the tiny bit of life force left in her life-hourglass, she gives in. "Ding! The farm's wheat needs pest control." Nan Man: I'll say it a hundred more times: I didn't study chemistry! System: That's why I've provided the Host with a formula. System: "Ding! The farm's piglets need feeding." Nan Man: Why are you asking me to improve the automatic feeder's design? Do people at your place raise pigs by designing their own feeding machines? System: It suits the Host's engineering background. From 2455, she transmigrates to 1960, an era of shortages and deprivation. That's not a problem most people would encounter. Nan Man does. This unfamiliar era brings all kinds of challenges and problems. As a doctoral student about to graduate in spacecraft design, Nan Man thinks she's come here to retrace the pioneers' arduous journey from nothing to the space age. Nan Man thinks she's an unlucky person with good luck. Being sent to this era of shortages makes her the unluckiest person chosen by fate, but in a time when people eat cornbread every day and lie awake at night craving meat, having a farm makes her incredibly lucky. That is, if you don't count this stupid System forcing her to research farming and animal husbandry every day. Farm System 1.0 thinks it's the unluckiest system of all, because its Host never does her job and refuses to properly research farming and pig raising. What kind of Host does that? Nan Man always remembers her dream in this era: work hard, earn a promotion and a professional title, save up plenty of life force, and then focus wholeheartedly on her main career in aerospace, retracing the pioneers' journey into space. As for whether she succeeded... Anyway, many years later, Academician Nan Man always insisted that her first and foremost identity was that of a glorious aerospace engineer. Even though she had a whole pile of brilliant medals earned in the field of agriculture. Nan Man: I'm really not a jack-of-all-trades. The stupid System made me do it. (Explaining for the nth time.) It all began when an unlucky farm System mistakenly bound itself to an unlucky person... Reader's guide: This is a fictional parallel world. Prices and lifestyles will draw a little from real life, but everything else follows the course of a parallel world. Please don't assume it's the same as real life.
