Leng Yuan was very smart and capable, but he was ultimately a man of his era. While he was far more knowledgeable than most, his perspective was still limited.
Gu Jiaojiao was different. With her broader knowledge and modern way of thinking, things she considered mundane were like a whole new world to the people of this era.
Take a simple corn sheller, for example.
Gu Jiaojiao had seen large, electric, and even more efficient machines. Now, as she described a manual one, she couldn't help but feel it was incredibly primitive.
But for Leng Yuan, it instantly sparked a wave of inspiration.
He followed Gu Jiaojiao's description, retrieved a pen and paper from the room, and began to sketch what she was explaining. He frequently asked for her opinion, and after a few corrections and changes, a simple blueprint began to take shape.
Gu Jiaojiao stared at Leng Yuan as if he were some kind of god.
