The agriculture of the Eastern Wing Continent now resembles what it was like during his childhood.
Other regions are much more backward, with only some farmers using tractors for plowing.
The current state of Ma Lin's hometown is that agricultural machinery is used for everything from plowing, sowing, to harvesting. Before plowing, fertilizer needs to be spread out; during harvesting, an electric vehicle drives into the field to wait, as the combine harvester transfers the grains into the vehicle, which then drives back, completing the process.
It's incredibly convenient.
The Gaem world still requires quite a bit of time to develop.
Ma Lin wondered if the reason he found economic development too slow was because he was too lazy, unwilling to endure hardship, and overly fond of comfort.
There's really no good way to overcome this stubbornness. One can only improve their ideological awareness and endure more hardships—after getting used to it, the complaints will fade.
