Because this is the culmination of someone else's creative work.
Master Amu has a daughter, but knowing how hard carpentry is, he didn't let her learn the trade. Now, however, he understands that talent can be found in both men and women.
However, he doesn't regret it now. If he had taught her his best skills back then, he would probably be in a much worse situation.
Thinking of this, Master Amu couldn't help but smile bitterly.
That's enough. We've already severed ties, so why bother thinking about it anymore?
“This is a huge project. If you do it yourself, it might take you ten days to half a month to finish it. How about this, you talk to your supervisor and ask to stay here for a while. There are more people here, plenty of wood, and lots of tools. It will be faster to finish it.”
Zhang Shanlin was about to say something when Master Amu said, "Don't worry about them disagreeing. You need irrigation over there, and the farm needs it even more. If this dragon bone waterwheel is completed, it will be a good thing for the farm. They will definitely agree. If there are any problems, they will definitely find a way to help solve them."
Zhang Shanlin's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "That's right," he thought, "the whole country is tightening its belt right now. If the farm speaks up, then this matter is definitely possible."
“Then let’s go to the farm first, and I’ll bring the person over once the application instructions are issued.”
Master Amu waved his hand: "You soldiers are so rigid!"
Zhang Shanlin, however, stated confidently: "We're just following the rules! There won't be any mistakes!"
So Zhang Shanlin took Lin Ying to the farm again.
When the farm commander learned that Lin Ying was coming, he excitedly came over in person: "Comrade Lin Ying, hello, hello!"
When the high-ranking leader shook hands with her, Lin Ying quickly went over and said, "Comrade, hello."
The farm commander said, "You don't know. That wheel you made has been a great help to us. Come on, I'll take you to see it."
He then started to lead them to the fields.
Lin Ying really wanted to see it, and Zhang Shanlin was also curious, so he couldn't help but follow along.
When they arrived at the farmland, they saw one of these pedal wheels in front of a plot of land. However, due to time constraints and a shortage of materials, they couldn't provide one for everyone.
The commander pointed to the farmland and said, “Our farmland is very long, and we don’t have a rope that long to pull it. But pulling it long won’t work, so we’ll just lay it horizontally. Wouldn’t that solve the problem? You see, in the past, just turning the soil and using the machines would take more than a month each year. Now, I estimate it will only take half a month.”
Moreover, it's not just plows that can be used; seeders can also be used for planting, and everyone says that wheelbarrows can even be used for harvesting the wheat. You know, wheelbarrows are incredibly difficult to maneuver in these fields. This thing of yours is even more efficient than an ox!
The commander spoke with such excitement. It's clear he was genuinely happy.
"Moreover, this blueprint has now been circulated to other places. Many places in the country have started making this. Especially in rural areas, a production team is lucky to have a few cows. Now that we have this, everyone can save a lot of effort when farming. This one thing of yours has truly benefited millions of ordinary people."
Zhang Shanlin, who was listening nearby, became very excited: "Really, Commander? Comrade Lin Ying's invention has already spread throughout the country?"
After saying that, Zhang Shanlin looked at Lin Ying and said, "Comrade Lin Ying, did you hear that? Your invention is truly remarkable!"
Lin Ying herself was also very excited.
For Lin Ying, woodworking was simply a pastime to pass the time. It allowed her to clear her mind and stop thinking about all the messy things in life.
However, when it comes to what she likes, she knows that what she truly loves is traditional Chinese medicine.
However, when they told her that her small invention had helped so many people, she herself found it hard to explain how she felt.
It was just like when she treated someone for the first time, and the patient was grateful to her after recovering.
No, it's not the same. A medical student can only treat one person at a time, but her invention has helped tens of thousands of people.
At that moment, Lin Ying finally understood a truth: being a doctor is not inherently noble, nor is being a carpenter something to be looked down upon. No profession is inherently superior or inferior; you can achieve a level of respect and admiration in any profession.
She will not give up her medical skills. And she will continue to do carpentry.
Just as Lin Ying was getting excited, Zhang Shanlin asked a very practical question: "Commander, Comrade Lin Ying's invention is so remarkable, why didn't the higher-ups give her any reward?"
