Chapter 178 Features: Inspiration and Tool Improvement

Gu Ke smiled, which was basically consistent with his expectations.

He looked at Wen Zong's character card again. It showed a middle-aged man with a tall hat and a wide belt?

Hey, system baby, you finally showed mercy? He complained in his heart, feeling quite surprised.

Shennong's classic old farmer image and Tiangong's iron hammer old man image were simply insulators of women.

Wen Zong was finally different.

After a careful look, Gu Ke found that Wen Zong was not young. According to the feeling of the previous life, he was about fifty years old.

He was a bit old to say that he was middle-aged, but it was not quite the same to say that he was an old man. He was between middle-aged and old.

He had few wrinkles on his face, his beard was still black, and his appearance was thin. He looked like Liu Xun in the previous life - of course, the one with a beard.

With a moon-white long gown, a tall hat and a wide belt, he looked very elegant at first sight, with a sense of loneliness and remoteness.

However, the women who could be attracted by this type of person were probably middle-aged and old.

After all, most women in the world prefer the "handsome and beautiful young man, raising his cup to look up at the blue sky, and standing tall in front of the wind" type.

Even middle-aged and elderly women were keen on being mother fans and grandmother fans in their previous lives.

Although Wen Zong has a good appearance, his age is close to the limit of "uncle", and he has a unique temperament.

When a girl or a young woman sees him, she will subconsciously think that he looks like her own father or teacher, and she will be more in awe than in love.

But it is better than seeing Shennong and calling him grandpa, and not even daring to approach Tiangong.

Gu Ke looked at Wen Zong's character card happily for a long time, and suddenly remembered something: Wait, how should this character card be set?

It can't be as simple and unpretentious as Shennong, nor can it be as rebellious and irritable as Tiangong.

With Wen Zong's appearance and temperament, is it possible that he will carry an unknown hatchet and a small hammer when he goes out to sell? The taste is too strong to think about.

As the third character card, Wen Zong naturally has a bound weapon, which is the Nameless Pen.

So, how to use the Judge's Pen? Gu Ke fell into deep thought.

…

All the stall opportunities in March have been used up. Wen Zong's character card has to wait until next month to use it, but there is no rush for the Judge's Pen.

What surprised Gu Ke was the new feature of Literary Thoughts +1.

Similar to the promotion of Nature Affinity to Heaven and Man, the effect of Literary Thoughts +1 crushes the effect of Quick Thinking +5.

To use a more vivid metaphor, the knowledgeable and strong memory is like moist air containing water, which makes people less likely to feel thirsty.

And Quick Thinking is the dew condensed on the leaves, which can directly absorb water and replenish itself.

Literary Thoughts are the real springs, which constantly gush out clear springs, allowing people to drink and quench their thirst at any time.

Combined with a flash of inspiration, Gu Ke's thinking speed and efficiency have reached an astonishing level.

In the past, it took a whole day to read, analyze, and thoroughly understand some skill books, but now it only takes one or two hours to read and memorize them, which takes less than one-fifth of the original time.

In other words, his speed of reading and understanding books has increased by more than five times.

In this way, thousands of useful books in the "skills" category in the literature can be read in one or two years at most.

This is the speed of pure entertainment.

Of course, there is no need to read and study with all his strength, because he has read most of the books and has a certain foundation.

Reading these books again is just icing on the cake and deepening understanding.

If he really studies hard, then Gu Ke will have one less pastime in the valley in the future.

This is a bit like reading novels in the previous life, and he would subconsciously slow down the reading speed to extend the leisure time.

After all, reading fast is leisure, not making money.

Reading too fast will have to find the next interesting book, which is really not friendly to leisure people.

Some people would rather flip out of good old books and read them again, and are too lazy to find new books.

Gu Ke is relatively better, because he now has Saranzhu.

It was her daily job to sort out the skill books she had traded.

Whenever Xiaoman was busy and couldn't play with her, she would sort out the dictionary.

She constantly adjusted and subdivided the four major categories of entertainment, pastime, useless things, and skills that he had defined, forming a clearly defined and clear directory tree for his convenience.

For Saranzhu, this work was no less pleasurable than pulling Xiaoman's soft flesh.

Whether it was the privacy exposed by the various strange "unique skills" or the knowledge of the previous life that Gu Ke stuffed into the dictionary, she could feel funny or surprised.

In a sense, the book knowledge recorded in Gu Ke's dictionary was a "big encyclopedia" of martial arts, skills, crafts, folk customs, local customs, cold and bitter jokes.

Saranzhu didn't have a proper childhood, and didn't have much contact with the living environment of normal people.

Born in the same year as Xiaoping'er, she was still a child in essence even though she was tall and mature.

Getting this "encyclopedia" is like opening the door to a new world.

Many behaviors are deeply influenced by Gu Ke, who left a lot of knowledge from his previous life in the text, including a lot of Internet culture and memes.

Gu Ke doesn't mind this, and even welcomes it.

He is too deeply influenced by modern society, or more precisely, the Internet age.

He doesn't want the two children and Saranzhu to treat him as a local landlord, because that kind of life is too boring.

The benefits are also obvious.

Compared with his "laziness", Saranzhu never minds telling these things to the two sisters, and experiments from time to time.

For clothing styles, Gu Ke only got old man shirts and shorts, and at most half a cup of Xiaoman's necessities.

After Saranzhu woke up, she had already instigated Xiao Ping'er to make all kinds of swimsuits, and then daily clothes for everyone to wear together.

Fabrics are not difficult to make. Just use Tongbao to trade once more, and exchange them for silk and satin that the valley does not produce from the fabric shop in the big city.

Of course, the green linen cloth in the valley is still everyone's favorite fabric.

It is strong, comfortable, and has a good natural appearance. An old man like Gu Ke who has lived a second life does not need other fabrics at all.

Saranzhu and the two children are women, and they are young, so they can't resist colorful and various fabrics.

Xiao Ping'er can read and make all kinds of new clothes with novel styles to wear. Xiao Ping'er has adapted well to the leisure life now.

However, due to her nature, Saranzhu, who has no scruples, instigated the bold and curious Xiaoman to change into those clothes with less fabric every day, but Xiao Ping'er was embarrassed to wear them.

She would add some fabric to them separately and make her own style.

Saranzhu was reluctant to leave, but Xiaoman didn't care and wouldn't laugh at her for it.

It was March of the 514th year of Dawu, and the temperature rose to more than 20 degrees. The valley officially entered the busiest farming season of the year.

Gu Ke was still diligently using several systematic martial arts to turn the soil and loosen the earth.

Saranzhu and Xiaoman were already "playing" over there.

They each got a long four-wheeled cart, just enough for them to lie on.

Then Xiaoman used blood and energy, and Saranzhu used divine thoughts to push the cart straight forward.

Behind them was a wooden pole with an iron head and a nail rake plow connected to the cart, about two feet wide, which was pressed into the ground by blood and energy and divine thoughts.

As the cart moved forward, the plow turned over strips of soil.

Gu Ke looked at it and didn't know whether to laugh or cry: with Saranzhu leading her, it was obvious that Xiaoman didn't plan to turn the soil to brush up her proficiency in the Black Evil Palm.

Ordinary farmers usually use a single plowshare to plow the land, which can be made larger, but only three or five inches at most, and the soil turned up by the plowshare will not exceed one foot.

The iron head of the plowshare made by Saranzhu and Xiaoman has an inclined surface, and they use their blood, energy, and divine thoughts to press it into the soil, which is equivalent to dozens of "small plowshares".

This is not laziness, but because Gu Ke expanded the ordinary fields at the foot of the mountain from 200 acres to 1,000 acres in one go this year.

It sounds big, but it is actually just a square plot of more than 270 feet long and wide.

Saranzhu and Xiaoman's two carts and plowshares are side by side. They plow four feet wide at a time, and it takes less than half a cup of tea to run 270 feet.

Then the cart and plowshare "float" and turn around, and rush back with smoke and dust behind them, which looks like a large cavalry charge.

There were two "cavalrymen" testing the car, and 1,000 acres of land were plowed in less than two hours, and Gu Ke's workload was less than a quarter of it.

If he hadn't insisted on improving his daily agricultural proficiency, these two guys would have snatched away even this little job.

At the same time, Gu Ke was brushing up his agricultural proficiency, and he could also observe and analyze the human-powered "fully automatic agricultural vehicle" made by Saranzhu and Xiaoman nearby.

At present, it seems that in the plains outside, a slight modification can adapt.

Ordinary people cannot release blood and qi, so they can use human and animal power to replace pulling carts, and reduce the number of plows.

Now improving production and living tools is one of his main hobbies.

In his opinion, the appearance of Shennong role card is to let him spread exotic food and basic martial arts.

While letting the people eat, breaking the martial arts threshold created by the tacit understanding of the sects and wealthy families.

Once the martial arts are introduced, the efficiency of the people in farming is comparable to that of large animals, and they can also practice martial arts by the way.

The appearance of Tiangong role card should be to spread various crafts and skills and improve the manufacturing and processing level of Dawu.

He modified various agricultural tools, as well as things like hydraulic forging hammers. Every time he goes out to sell them, he will trade some extra to Dawu's carpenters and blacksmiths, as well as the chief officers of the government and garrison.

The people of Dawu are not stupid, and they are not incapable of inventing and improving tools.

But most of the common people are not craftsmen. They may find that the tools are not easy to use, but they do not have the skills, resources or time to experiment.

Craftsmen have skills, but they are not real users. It is difficult to go deeper and put yourself in other people's shoes.

Even if a few craftsmen have made some achievements, they are rarely widely disseminated for various reasons.

Like many novels in the previous life, when writing about traveling to ancient times, it is assumed that there are no things like glass, soap, and perfume.

In fact, the things recorded in Qi Min Yao Shu and Tian Gong Kai Wu are more comprehensive and practical than the scientific knowledge of most travelers.

However, this knowledge is not popularized, and the common people cannot enjoy it, but the middle and high-level people may not know it.

It just so happens that Gu Ke lives out the second thing, not worrying about food and drink, and being separated from the primary physiological needs, he is a very idle person.

Not only does he farm and work himself, he also has the characteristics of Tian Gong, and can trade a lot of skills.

There are workshops and processing workshops next to him, as well as fairy fields and ordinary fields, as well as warehouses with lossless storage and aging storage functions.

When it comes to test conditions, even the chief engineer of Dawu Zhongting is not as good as him.

He can do it as soon as he thinks of it, and test it on the spot after it is done.

He observes the test with meticulous divine thoughts, records various data, and then compares and screens the transformation effects, and can get clear test results within one or two days.

For example, the tilt angle of the plowshare is just the result of his two days of work.

It is because he can modify and adjust the shape of the plowshare dozens of times in one day and test it.

The test only requires divine thoughts to control, and advance dozens of feet in the field. The plowing effect can be seen clearly under divine thoughts.

Even people don’t need to go to the field, everything is done.

Similar things include the transmission efficiency of water wheels and the adjustment of blade angles.

When setting up stalls in big cities, he scans the water mills in various places, records their structures, and then comes back to copy them.

He can make and test two or three water wheels in one hour.

With the richness of test data, he can determine the general effect of many inferior tools just by looking at their appearance, and even saves the test.

When he trades these concentrated and integrated craftsmanship skills to groups with skills and resources, it is not difficult to copy them.

There is no need to worry about how to improve them later, as people who open their minds will study and improve themselves.

Originally, Gu Ke's skills came mostly from farmers and craftsmen in Dawu.

After comprehensive improvements, they will be returned to the masses to stimulate their creativity and initiative.

At that time, they can be traded back for the second and third time, and continue to improve, upgrade, and spread.

It's still the same words - believe in the masses, mobilize the masses, come from the masses, and go to the masses.

Gu Ke is not a creator in the simple sense.

He is just an intermediary who records and integrates the crystallization of the wisdom of the working people and then spreads them.

If not, it would take him forever to upgrade and improve all the skills by himself.

The monsters will not give the people of Dawu such a long time.

Because of the characteristics of the monsters, these crafts cannot be directly turned into weapons to kill them.

But these crafts can greatly improve the production and living efficiency of the people of Dawu.

Iron tools cannot kill monsters, but they can make tools stronger and more diverse.

From transportation to farming to processing, their usefulness is immeasurable.

In addition to sufficient military force, fighting is also about logistics - Gu Ke, who came from a modern industrial society, is undoubtedly very clear about this.

Gu Ke is not sure how to solve the logistics of monsters.

Humans will definitely not be able to hold on without food, suitable clothes and living supplies.

When the military forces are at a stalemate, whoever can use less consumption and produce more logistical supplies will win the final victory.

Dawu is different from the modern technological society.

Here, heterogeneous food is not only food, but also the basic condition for directly increasing the number of warriors, cultivating second-wheel masters, and breeding third-wheel strongmen.

Increased agricultural production means improved military power.

Improved industrial level means improved material output and communication and transportation efficiency.

This will allow more food and utensils to be produced quickly and popularized to more people.

Therefore, Gu Ke now rarely makes tools and supplies for brushing characteristics, and the things he transforms are all from the perspective of ordinary people.

If he really brushes out something with high basic attributes or excellent characteristics, he will keep it in the valley as an extra surprise.

Some of it will be given to the eldest lady as a small gift through the Qiankun bag.

As for whether she keeps it for herself or gives it to her beloved apprentice Li Xiuer, he doesn't care.
